Physician/Peer Testimonials

The days spent in one-on-one teaching with Dr. Red Alinsod have been the most valuable of any continuing education programs I have done in the past twenty years. There is no higher method of instruction than the thorough and insightful sharing of procedures and experience which he provides. The course was completely tailored to my needs as an experienced Urogynecologist wanting to add Aesthetic Gynecology to my practice.

For the experienced Gyn surgeon Dr. Alinsod provides every detail needed to facilitate changing the course of your practice with ease. If a comprehensive program is wanted, look no further.

I am a reconstructive and female urologist in the San Fernando Valley and Beverly Hills and was fortunate to attend a private preceptorship in aesthetic vaginal surgery with Dr. Red Alinsod. You will reliably begin your training with high expectations regarding the quality of the training due to the cost of the program, but you will certainly not be disappointed and will likely leave only wishing you had attended sooner. From the beginning of your experience to the end, you will feel that Dr. Alinsod has painstakingly crafted his unique program only for you and that he has carefully chosen surgical patients, during your training, who demonstrate the spectrum of functional and aesthetic challenges.

I sought out Dr. Alinsod to provide comprehensive aesthetic vaginal training to complement my formal training and expertise in repair of pelvic prolapse and urinary incontinence. The surgical experience was terrific, beginning with discovering Red’s approach to augmented mesh prolapse repairs. Even the most seasoned pelvic reconstructive surgeons will discover surgical pearls from Red and I am already using some of the pearls I have “stolen” from Red. The days in the office are a mix of surgically relevant and carefully thought out lectures and observation of Red’s surgical methods. He is a consummate surgical instructor and a gentleman. Red has “opened up” his secrets for developing a successful aesthetic practice that focuses on surgical excellence and compassionate care. It is as close to a turn-key practice addition as one could hope to achieve.

As a board certified plastic surgeon, I was very interested in finding what solid clinical material might be available to understand more fully the concept of “vaginal rejuvenation.” My search led to Dr. Red Alinsod, a Board Certified Gynecologist in Laguna Beach, California, whose practice consists exclusively of reconstructive and aesthetic procedures in the female perineal area. Not only does he have a busy clinical practice, but he teaches frequently.

I personally took a 10-hour preceptorship with him. The day began early with about 2 hours of well illustrated didactic material. We then interviewed the first surgical patient, and he demonstrated the standard photographic views, which are fairly complex even for a very experienced photographer. He discussed her procedures and the indications for it and then my surgical nurse and I saw these procedures done in Dr. Alinsod’s surgical suite under local anesthetic and mild sedation. Dr. Alinsod discusses the procedure and the anatomy the entire time and is a natural teacher. The first procedure included reduction labiaplasty and vaginal rejuvenation. This involves a true anatomic recreation of a tighter, more functional vagina, as well as a lot of attention to aesthetic details. The labiaplasty was meticulously performed and repaired with the skill we appreciate in plastic surgery.

The second procedure was a vaginoplasty and reconstruction of the hymen; the patient was encouraged to discuss with us the reasons for the surgery and we found them very interesting.

I gained a new respect for this field and certainly for Dr. Red Alinsod, and would recommend him highly for anyone seeking a good one-on-one preceptorship. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at my office at 864 583-1222.

I am a gynecologist in Santa Fe, NM. My aesthetic practice is the Women’s Center for Aesthetic & Vaginal Rejuvenation. I researched which course I wanted to take and have had absolutely no regrets I chose to take Dr. Alinsod’s course in vaginal rejuvenation. I had an exceptional time training with Dr. Alinsod. He is an extremely talented surgeon and is very open to share his knowledge and techniques. His meticulous technique was very important to me as I also am a perfectionist when it comes to surgery. He was fun and pleasant to be around. His staff was very accommodating and made me feel welcome. His techniques do produce results women are looking for and the results speak for themselves. I have been back several times to watch him work and he has always been very accommodating to allow me to observe whenever I come out to Laguna Beach. He takes the time necessary to give his patients the necessary preop instructions and never makes his patients feel rushed. I was also impressed with his bedside manner.

I would highly recommend Dr. Alinsod’s aesthetic course in vaginal rejuvenation over any other available courses. His friendly personality, his expertise and openness to share his techniques is invaluable in a training course. He is also talented in photography and using his website to the fullest. He also shares his techniques on how to take photos at the right angles to enhance your work. He also has a very successful Urogynecology practice. You come away feeling as though you have a friend and mentor for life. Thank you Red.

Dr. Alinsod runs a very comprehensive and organized teaching program for vaginal rejuvenation under local anesthesia. He clearly demonstrates why a laser is not necessary and gives useful insights on how to get the best results while avoiding complications. I highly recommend his teaching program to all gynecologists who wish to begin office based vaginal rejuvenation procedures.

Just thought I would drop you a note to thank you for teaching me in 2006 how to do the TOT. I have done about 50 now and with the exception of the one erosion and the one failure early on, it has been one of the more gratifying procedures that I have learned to do. My patients are thrilled with the results and it is really life changing for them. For the last 20 years, we have a very busy OB service and I learned from the best (my older partners and mentors) so I do a lot of forceps and tricky vaginal deliveries which probably contribute to a higher rate of SUI. Patients are glad to not have major surgery to have their babies, but I think the trade off is more incontinence. It is great to be able to offer them a corrective procedure that is low risk and has such great results. Thank you for teaching me good technique and holding my hand through the first few so that I became confident enough to be able to offer the procedure without reservation to patients that I have a long term relationship with and feel very responsible for. Hope all is well with you.

Sincerely,
Karen Callen

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Red Alinsod and his staff for spending the time with me to offer what can only be described as the BEST reconstructive pelvic surgery course. What most preceptor programs forget is that the “customer” is the King/Queen. Dr. Alinsod has clearly spent valuable time to train his staff in customer service which was extended in the most courteous manner to myself and a fellow trainee.

Without doubt Dr. Alinsod’s clinical expertise and knowledge base is excellent. I was also impressed by his surgical skill and finesse. His bedside manner and relationship with his patients was refreshing, a gift sadly lacking in some colleagues who offer preceptor courses.

I flew half a day to attend this course and without hesitation I recommend any surgeon interested in attending a structured well organized course to consider Dr. Alinsod’s preceptor program.

Dr. Alinsod can be described as a man with sincerity and great humility. As simply stated by Benjamin Franklin: “Humility makes great men twice honorable”
