I cannot say enough about my experience with Dr. Roy David and his staff. After a year of…read moreconsidering a deep plane face/neck lift and searching for a surgeon who specialized in facial plastic surgery specifically, I finally scheduled a consultation and from the very first meeting, I knew I was in the hands of a true expert. His staff describe him as a "perfectionist" which I loved hearing especially when he was going to be working on my face...and he did not disappoint. I never thought I could look this good again at the age of 52. Dr. David took the time to explain the procedure in detail, answering every question with patience, and helping me to understand what results were realistically achievable. The surgery itself was seamless, and the level of care I received before, during, and after the procedure exceeded every expectation. My results look incredibly natural--refreshed, lifted, and youthful without that "done/stretched" look I was worried about. Friends keep telling me I look amazing but can't quite pinpoint why, which is exactly what I hoped for. Recovery was far easier than I anticipated, pain was very little to none and I looked mostly back to myself again in about 2 weeks which also exceeded my expectations. I had many questions along the way, and not only did I always feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for but also everything I was told was spot on with my experience; this grew a great deal of trust with Dr. David and his team. If you're considering a deep plane facelift, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. David. His skill, precision, and aesthetic eye are unmatched, and the confidence I've gained from this experience has been priceless.

I have had several IPLs before and this was nothing like any past appointments and the results were literally no change.

I've been meaning to write a review for quite a while now, so here it is! Long story short, I…read morealways knew I would get a breast augmentation after graduating college. I have a curvy, athletic body, however, my breasts never matched the rest of my figure, as they were pretty much nonexistent. I had my first consolation with Dr. Kearney in 2017, and I knew right away that he would be my doctor (I had gone to 4 other consultations before him!). The consolation was very numbers focused (in regards to measurements and size), straight forward, and no-bullshit. He was honest about which sizes looked best, which type of implant would suit my body better, and overall made me feel confident in his abilities as a surgeon due to his honesty and education. His staff is AMAZING and Dr Kearney himself is extremely honest, blunt, and straight forward, which was exactly what I needed. He has this unique sense of humor that makes you feel at ease and provides that bedside manner that all patients are looking for. I scheduled my surgery shortly after my consultation. Dr Kearney was on time, polite, and reassuring with me come surgery day, making me feel comfortable and confident in my decision with him. I had decided to get 325cc implants, which I was hesitant about as I had a gut feeling that I wanted to go bigger. Fast forward to six months after my surgery (everything went well and I was healing great), I decided that I did in fact was to be larger, so I called Dr Kearney's office and scheduled another consultation for second surgery. Dr. Kearney was great and very understanding with my decision. We scheduled another surgery soon after, and agreed on 450cc's. This surgery went amazing again, and I was SO happy with the final result. He did a phenomenal job both times and was so easy to love during the process. I appreciate his honesty, confidence, and ability to make his patients feel comfortable in their decision. My advice, choose Dr. Kearney for your breast augmentation! AND, go a bit bigger than you think. You won't regret.

I went in for a consultation last week and left feeling very uncomfortable. From the start, before…read morethe consultation even began, I was asked to take photos for a simulation without being properly asked or informed, which I declined. During the consultation, I clearly explained what I was looking for. He mentioned under-the-armpit incisions, which interested me, but then quickly insisted that I would need a lift. I explained that I was extremely uncomfortable with a lift due to scarring, but my concerns were dismissed. He spoke very fast, was insistent, and both my support person and I felt lost and talked over. He told me my nipples were "turned down," which I disagreed with, and made unsolicited comments such as women not wanting to "look like a boy," that "guys don't care about scars," and that "you either have scars or you don't have bigger boobs." These comments felt inappropriate and made me feel pressured and insecure rather than supported. Overall, I felt that he did not listen to my goals or respect my boundaries. I booked this consultation specifically because of his advertised experience with endoscopic transaxillary cases and made my preferences very clear, yet I felt pushed toward a procedure I did not want. I would not trust this doctor and would recommend finding a surgeon who truly listens and has experience in the specific approach you're looking for. Additionally after the consultation, I called the office again to clarify whether it would be possible to proceed with an under-the-armpit approach without a lift, since I am comfortable with my breast shape and simply want more volume. He responded that I would "have the same breasts, just bigger," and that I would still have "the same problem." I explained that I do not see my breasts as a problem and that I like them as they are. He then told me that I should find a different doctor.

When I went to my first consultation at Dr. Umansky's, I had a total shift from intimidated to excited and confident. The whole team was so kind, supportive and knowledgable and also very personable. I felt like they each cared about me as a person and truly got to know me before my procedure. My friends who have had breast augmentations always said, "I wish I had just done this years ago" and I have to say I am SO glad I did this procedure when I did as I felt beautiful on my wedding and am loving my body post-accident again. Literally every single person - from the front desk, consultants, anesthesiologist to the woman who gave me a complimentary facial - were all just fantastic. Dr. Umansky really seems like the best of the best - he couldn't be any nicer and he really took the best care of me. I would recommend him to anyone.

I am writing this not only out of personal necessity but also as a warning to others. Years ago, I…read moreunderwent a breast reduction procedure performed by Dr. Jeffrey Umansky. When I expressed immediate and legitimate concerns about the grossly asymmetrical, misshapen outcome, I was dismissively met with the condescending remark: "Let's remember, they're sisters, not twins." This patronizing statement was clearly meant to deflect responsibility and silence a vulnerable, young patient who had just trusted him with her body. The result was not only physically disfiguring, but emotionally devastating. At the time, I lacked the personal and emotional support to pursue legal recourse. However, with time and reflection, it's become undeniably clear: I was negligently and carelessly operated on, and the trauma I endured has left lasting scars--both literally and psychologically. To be specific, Dr. Umansky's surgical execution resulted in: Sloppy and uneven internal tissue excision Poorly closed incisions, resulting in significant scarring and dog-ear deformities Asymmetrical areolas, with nipples more than an inch off from one another Long-term disfigurement that has made any corrective procedures extremely complex and costly Despite my desperation and embarrassment, I reached out to the office manager shortly after the surgery to request even a partial refund so I could afford reconstructive work elsewhere. My plea was coldly denied and ultimately ignored. The lack of professional accountability shown by both Dr. Umansky and his office was reprehensible. Since then, I have consulted with multiple board-certified plastic surgeons, all of whom confirmed the extensive damage done and emphasized the difficulty of now restoring what was once a healthy, intact chest. One even stated that the tissue had been "butchered"--their words, not mine. I have photographic documentation of both the immediate post-op results and my current condition, which I am prepared to share publicly and with appropriate legal channels if necessary. If the platform allowed, I would upload these images in full to give others the visual proof of what I have suffered due to Dr. Umansky's substandard care. Dr. Umansky, whether your staff chose to shield you from the fallout or not, you should know: your conduct was not only negligent but borders on medical malpractice. Your failure to take responsibility--medically or financially--for the irreversible damage you caused is inexcusable. I gave everything I had to pay for that surgery, and in return, I was left physically distorted and emotionally broken. This message is for the patients who have been silenced, dismissed, or gaslit into thinking they had no right to speak up. I speak now because I have found my voice--and others deserve to find theirs too. Your actions, Dr. Umansky, were not only unprofessional and unethical--they were, and remain, absolutely unforgivable.

I feel a sense of connection to him because his brother (Dr. Wendell Smoot) did my very first breast augmentation 20 years ago at LJCSC so who else better to choose as your surgeon! I went to his office for a consultation regarding removing my 20 year old saline implants and replacing with silicone. I still wanted a very natural look but at the same time go a little bigger and be able to notice it. He took the time to listen to my concerns and my hopes for the outcome of my procedure. He recommends what's best for your body type so you have the best natural results as possible and I LOVE how absolutely honest he is. I trusted him 100% and he gave me the exact results that I wanted. From my initial consult, to my pre-op, to my surgery day, to my post-op's, everything just went so smoothly! In terms of pain and the procedure - I was nervous about the pain that would be involved with the recovery, but I truly felt little to no pain. I didn't have to take any intense pain medication. I was up and moving around (with caution) the day after surgery. The techniques that Dr. Smoot uses to prevent pain post op is so amazing and my scars are barely visible! The team and the office staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process and you leave feeling like family. I just love the level of service they provide! I am now 2 months post op and I couldn't be happier! I'm so happy with my decision to switch out my implants, and even happier that I chose Dr. Smoot to be my surgeon before he retires.

Over the years I had a few consultations with very reputable surgeons but they didn't give me the confidence to go ahead and do it. Then a friend came from NY to have her facelift with Dr Bolitho. Upon seeing her outcome just a few days after her surgery I was sold! From the first consultation and at every meeting after, Dr Bolitho treated me with the utmost professionalism. He listened carefully, explained in great detail the entire process, answered every question and suggested doing less than I thought I needed. He exudes care and trustworthiness and as he speaks it is very obvious how much he loves what he does. The outcome of my deep plane face and neck lift was absolute perfection! The process could not have been easier. Almost no downtime at all. No pain or bruising, just a pulling sensation which went away as the stitches dissolved. Within 2 days I was off Tylenol and making my own lunch, watching movies and even did some laundry. Within two weeks I was out and about looking and feeling great. It has now been 3 months, there are no traces of having had surgery. I look rested, years younger but not obvious or pulled. I get a lot of compliments from people who can't quite figure out why I look younger and refreshed. When I choose to tell them I had a facelift, they are astonished by how natural I look. They ask to see the scars and are amazed by how hard it is to see them at all. I've lost count of how many times I have been asked to shared his contact. Dr Bolitho exceeded my highest expectations! His work is truly amazing and only matched by his bedside manner. It's obvious how much he enjoys bringing joy to his patients and how proud he is of his work ....and rightly so! His entire staff is knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend him and only wish I could give more than 5 stars.
