First and foremost Dr. Afridi is uncommonly kind, a rare gem in a city so often filled with…read morecoldness and apathy. Throughout my experience she's been exceptionally receptive and thorough in making sure I'm comfortable and healthy. Her directions are clear and her responses to my questions are plentiful and well-informed. Secondly, she's an absolute artist. Her keen eye took my original idea and added some small but impactful differences to my end result, giving me something better than I could have ever imagined. Her office manager Janetta is equally as dedicated and continued to go out of her way to ensure I was on track and proactively clear about the next steps. This really helped me to feel completely at ease in their hands and look forward to my operation with nothing but excitement and anticipation. Each office visit is an absolute treat thanks to these two. My operation itself was wonderfully efficient with an impressively professional and charmingly tender team of staff ensuring pure comfort and ease. My results are getting more and more beautiful by the day as I heal and I am just over the moon. I feel absolutely stunning in my skin. Thank you to this wonderful practice and all those in it for making my dreams come true!!! xo

I cannot recommend Dr. Afridi highly enough. She really listened to my concerns, understood what…read morewas bothering me, and what I was hoping to achieve. She was honest about what was achievable and what was not, which I deeply appreciated. I never felt rushed--she always took her time with me, patiently answering my endless questions. From the very start, she was warm, caring, and reassuring, and I felt like we were true partners in this journey. Beyond her personable approach, Dr. Afridi is an exceptional surgeon. She is meticulous in her work and spent the time needed to make sure everything was done exactly right. It's clear she genuinely cares about achieving the best possible results. From day one, I could tell she was deeply invested in me and went above and beyond to ensure I would be happy with the outcome. I came to her for a very tricky and sensitive procedure: ankle liposuction. This was something I had struggled with for years. No matter how much I exercised, I could never change the shape of this stubborn area, and it always left me feeling self-conscious. It even limited my fashion choices (hello, maxi dresses!)--I spent most of my life trying to cover my legs. Even with all that frustration, the idea of surgery was daunting. I did not want to take unnecessary risks with my health and had decided I would not undergo general anesthesia. Dr. Afridi immediately put me at ease by creating a plan to do the procedure under local anesthesia instead. On the day of surgery, she and her team made me feel completely cared for and supported. I was comfortable the entire time (her nurse even held my hand, which meant so much). The whole experience was far easier than I ever imagined--I had very little pain and was able to walk out of the office the same day. Dr. Afridi's skill and attention to detail were evident throughout, and I always felt safe in her hands. The results? Truly outstanding. For the first time in my life, I feel confident about this part of my body. This wasn't just a surgery--it freed me from years of insecurity. Dr. Afridi is not only a highly skilled surgeon, but also a compassionate partner in her patients' journeys. If you're considering a procedure and want a doctor who is meticulous, caring, and genuinely invested in your outcome, I honestly can't imagine anyone better.

Deciding which surgeon to go with is not a decision I took lightly at all. I had done extensive…read moreresearch over the course of about a year and finally narrowed down my search to Dr. Alizadeh and a few others. I am SO glad I went with Dr. Alizadeh. Everything about this experience has been 5 stars - from the very first consultation, through everything post-procedure. These days it's hard to sift through the flashiness of social media and the focus of virality. I wanted a surgeon with a long history of results that spoke for themselves with years of reviews and 5 star ratings from real people. Dr. Alizadeh and his team are exactly that - professional, intelligent, and I have to believe are the best New York has to offer. I genuinely tell everyone I went to the best surgeon in the US. Samantha was so helpful answering all my questions pre-consultation and right after. She was warm and inviting, and made the decision feel easy. Janet at the front desk always greets me with a huge smile and an offer of support. I also immediately had a really strong connection with Jenn who is the medical assistant. She validated all of my questions and thoughts, and made me feel like I had a great friend helping me through the whole process. Everyone on the team here is just so lovely it was a no brainerrrrr to go here. Day of surgery, Dr. Alizadeh was calm and collected, and above all, understood every single one of my goals and went above and beyond to make it all happen. He is just top of the game - I truly don't think anyone else could have done better than him. Recovery has been a breeze, and I've never felt better. I only have one regret, and it's that I didn't go see Dr. Alizadeh and his team sooner!! :)

I had a very disappointing experience at this clinic and would not recommend it to others. I…read moreunderwent liposuction on my flanks and fat transfer to the breasts, spending over $14000 with the expectation--based on what the doctor told me--a flatter tummy and at least a half to full cup increase in breast size--which simply didn't happen. My belly fat is still there, my breast size looks the same. Despite being very lean (around 46kgs), I was still told I was an ideal candidate before this procedure. I now realize this was misleading. After the surgery when I raised my concerns about the dissatisfactory results, they now tell me that I didn't have enough fat. Why mislead me and perform the surgery in the first place? More troubling is that over a year later, I still experience soreness and numbness in my abdomen and flanks. I've raised my concerns with the doctor, only to be met with disrespect and dismissive responses. At one point, I was even told that if I wasn't satisfied, I should have performed the surgery on myself--an incredibly unprofessional and unacceptable comment from a medical professional. I truly regret trusting this clinic. In hindsight, I wish the doctor had taken a more honest, ethical approach and guided me toward non-surgical options more appropriate for my body type and goals. I'm sharing this review to help others make more informed decisions and to hopefully prevent anyone else from going through a similar experience. There was zero empathy, zero accountability, and no concern for my health or well-being. Stacey and Deborah are manipulators. This place only cares about money, not patients. They don't even deserve a one-star rating. Please don't believe their promises -- you will NOT BE IN SAFE HANDS HERE. This experience has caused me lasting physical and emotional pain. I don't feel my tummy anymore. I had to bear a lot of pain. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE.

He charged me a lot of money but way undelivered on results and disfigured me with unnecessary grafts that made my nose much larger and no longer in proportion with my face. After that happened to me, I consulted with my cousin, who is a Neurological Pediatrician at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York to find out where I could find a reputable Plastic Surgeon to help me. He immediately told me the man I needed to see was Dr. Robert Guida. He told me Dr. Guida has a Stellar reputation in the Medical Community and is an expert in performing revision rhinoplasties, the most difficult area of plastic surgery to perform. Dr. Guida reshaped my nose and removed all the unnecessary grafts. Not only did Dr. Guida correct everything, but he gave me a better looking nose than I could have ever hoped for! My nose was perfectly symmetrical to my face! I can honestly say Dr. Guida changed my life in very positive way, restored my confidence and made me feel better about my appearance than I have ever felt before. Dr. Guida is an aesthetic and symmetrical expert! The very best in the Country. Recognized for 25 Years as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor. One the most reputable and prestigious medical publications in the Country. I recommend Dr. Guida to anyone who is going for a rhinoplasty or a revision rhinoplasty.

From the first consultation with Dr. Sultan, I felt completely at ease. He was thoughtful,…read morehonest, and incredibly precise in explaining what would (and wouldn't) make a difference. I wanted my neck lifted and tightened, but I did not want to look "done." I wanted to look like myself, just refreshed and more defined. The result exceeded my expectations. My jawline is sharper, my neck is smooth again, and somehow I still look completely natural. Friends keep saying I look rested or that my skin looks great, but they can't quite put their finger on it, which is exactly what I hoped for. His team was attentive every step of the way. I felt cared for, not processed. What impressed me most is his restraint. He didn't oversell. He didn't overcorrect. He has an artistic eye and a surgeon's discipline, and that combination shows in the outcome. If you are considering surgery and want refinement rather than transformation, I can't recommend Dr. Sultan highly enough.

I first met Sultan 13 years ago when I was 39 years old. At 5'6" and weighing 108 lbs, I felt I…read morelooked good, but after having four children, my abdominal area had changed significantly. Despite my dedication to the gym six days a week, I believed a tummy tuck was necessary. After several consultations, I chose him as my surgeon and underwent a tummy tuck along with breast augmentation. To my surprise, he also performed liposuction on my outer thighs and other areas. Three months post-surgery, I found my stomach still bulging, my breasts sagging, and I noticed an unusual line beneath my buttocks. During a routine check-up, he apologized, claiming my body had misled him, and offered to redo both the tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Six months later, I underwent another four-hour surgery. The results were devastating; my body was altered to the point where I could no longer wear fitted clothing or walk on the beach in a swimsuit. I consulted several doctors, and each informed me that my situation was irreversible. For years, I tried to secure an appointment with him, but he would not allow me back into his office. Eventually, I managed to book an appointment under my maiden name. When he entered the office and introduced himself, he appeared friendly. However, when I revealed my identity and showed him photos documenting the damage he caused, he refused to look at them. His attitude quickly became arrogant and dismissive, repeatedly questioning why I was there and if I had come to berate him. I insisted that I needed a referral to a doctor who could address his mistakes. He suggested I consult a lawyer, fully aware that I had signed documents preventing me from suing him. If I could take legal action, I would, as he has significantly impacted my life--I can no longer enjoy the beach or wear fitted clothing. After a few minutes of this confrontation, he stated he would leave the office and walked out, leaving me alone. That night, like many others since, I cried myself to sleep, all thanks to him. Please be careful.

To restore balance, Dr. Rizk performed an endoscopic brow lift on my right side and upper blepharoplasty on both eyelids. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE RESULTS. I was also blown away by the elite patient experience. From start to finish, my time with Dr. Rizk and his incredible support staff was world-class. During my consultation, he was confident and assured in his diagnosis/treatment plan. On the day of surgery, I felt at ease under his care. He marked me up and walked me through his exact plan. His nurse Jola is also amazing and I will forever remember her kind, calming demeanor. It's worth noting that before I decided to move forward with Dr. Rizk, I had consultations with others and received varying treatment plans. Dr. Rizk was without a doubt the doctor for me and I would absolutely recommend him without hesitation!!

Pluses: his office is clean and beautiful, and I'm sure he's very skilled/talented as he came highly recommended. I can't speak to his abilities because he decided not to perform on my scar, but the misunderstanding I had with their billing department was the issue... Sadly, the front desk is operated by a kind and courteous woman named Francesca, but the office manager Jenna is among the more demoralizing, patronizing people I've ever dealt with in medical profession. She claims to be "direct" but in my experience she is simply rude. When she picked up the phone she sighed deeply like she had no time for me, and it all went downhill from there. For me, anything medical requires the utmost care and compassion, and this experience left me in tears. If you need help with something as profound as healing a facial scar, why would you elect to put yourself in the path of human beings lacking in the basic skills of pleasant customer service, let ALONE a little compassion. I'm sure Jenna feels she was perfectly professional. I respectfully disagree. Dr Zimbler, your office and your skills I'm sure deserve better. I will not be returning to find out--and neither should any of you.

Can I give 20 stars? I count my blessings to the high moon for finding Dr. Sherwyn (thank you…read moreBeauty Broker aka Melinda Farina!). Dr. Sherwyn as a Surgeon: Extraordinary surgical skills, honed over thousands of cases with consistent results focusing on YOUR safety as the absolute #1 priority, good aesthetic and 1000% precision. You will have to seek long and hard to find someone who will take more time to explain everything to you in absolute detail before your procedure, patiently answer every single question, in marking up a patient for surgery, in stitching the perfect sutures - all of which by the way is just the tip of the iceberg since he utilizes superhuman skills to put on the brakes during surgery to meticulously manage your surgery which not only has to look aesthetically phenomenal, but also avoid all possibilities of any damage. His bedside manner is beyond expectation, and the staff is so helpful and caring. Post op care is also top notch, he is from the old guard and calls his patients to check in on them post op with very regular visits for progress. Dr. Sherwyn as a human: Highly empathetic, highly intelligent (his memory is incredible!) and a genius. Whether you know him for 5 minutes, months or years, its easily obvious he has put his patients above everything in his life. He managed both offices, his staff and his patients expectations while Covid shut down elective surgeries. He then went on to perform a series of surgeries which can often be long hours (mine was 14) without so much as complaining that he's tired let alone needs anything. He is extremely demanding of himself and never have I ever heard him say he needed anything except for me to follow his instructions which I did. He has been the single brightest star of my time living in NYC area, he made a lifelong dream come true which eased all my aches/pains and issues and for that, words do not feel enough. If you're reviewing surgeons and Dr. Sherwyn is on your radar, please reach out to his office, and you'll immediately feel that intuition that you reached the right person to work with.
