Conveniently located to serve the areas of Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
Dr. Jabs and his entire staff is amazing! I have been very pleased with my experience from my first consultation to months after my surgery. Everyone makes you feel welcome and extremely comfortable, and I love that the surgery room is right in the office. I had a breast lift, liposuction of the abdomen and fat transfer to my butt. I couldn’t be any happier with my results. I highly recommend Dr. Jabs. Thank you so much for making me feel comfortable with my body again.
