Their bill summary. Front desk lady can't explain what was charged. Instead being impatient .
Delong X.

Nothing to say, truly a disappointment! This place requires ALL PATIENTS to leave a credit card info on their file. Well, the consequence is that after a few weeks of my visit, my credit card always gets charged hundreds dollars bills. When I ask the front desk to give a summary, she have no idea what was charged. They just give me a the treatment code without explaining details! When I ask them to explain treatment code, front desk gets impatient. This is ridiculous! I have the rights to ask right !? Doctor NOAH GRATCH is a very business-driven doctor. He spent 5-7 minutes with me for a total visit. I told him I need to talk to my insurance to find out the coverage. Then he quickly walk away without doing a touch-up for my mole and even answering my questions. I spent 20 mins waiting for him, and he let his assistant to let me leave. His assistant, the darker-featured long hair lady told me: the laser machine is GONE. He's not gonna treat you today. How could you lie without noticing the laser machine is on the top of my head ? Again, plenty of good dermatologists in NYC , and plenty of money in my pockets, We need to make sure to pay for the ones who we trust with a great bedside manner and attitude, respect. When a doctor becomes too business-driven, it's a sad carrier. Be smart! I need to walk away.

Deceived
Karim K.

Stay far, far away from MDCS Dermatology, I have an issue with sweating profusely which my PCP said it was normal. However, I was annoyed by it and wanted to do something about it. Dr. Noah Gratch contacted my wife claiming that there was a new procedure called Radio Frequency (RDF) that would make me stop sweating permanently and he assured that it was going to work 100 percent. The procedure is very expensive and it is not covered by insurance. The first procedure was painful but I was ok with it since I was looking forward to the results that Dr. Gratch had mentioned. The second procedure was the worse experience ever. I was left in the room for over an hour shirtless, a staff person walked in the room eager for the payment when you are supposed to pay at the end. That's a clear indication that their main concern is money. The work ethics is non-existence. The alleged anesthesiologist applied the anesthesia and Dr. Gratch walked in the room about 10 minutes after when I was not numbed. He started the procedure and it was painful. He had to stop and add anesthesia multiple times. It was still extremely painful since it was thousands of watts applied to my underarm similar to being tase with a taser. I felt like I was being torture and doubt the anesthesiologist credentials since clearly she did not know what she was doing. I endured all these pain and aggravation, paid $2,400 hoping that it would work but it did not. Instead I continue to sweat and it is worse than before, now the sweat has a sticky consistency which is as a result of the RDF. Even the front desk staff told me that this treatment has a 50/50 percent chance to work when Dr. Gratch had promised that it was 100 percent guarantee. I did not complete the third procedure because I went to my PCP to inquire about this procedure and he informed me that it does not work. In fact, they rent the machine for $1,500 a month and they charge people $1,200 a session and it is not effective. Bottom line, I paid $2,400 to be tortured, deceived and I continue to sweat (which at this point I'm not concern about). When we contacted Dr. Gratch to get an explanation or do something about, all he offered was for me to go back to the office and pay more for botox therefore, it seems that he already that the RDF treatment does not work. I had this procedure in January and I was waiting to see any positive results and nothing has happened. The sweat is even worse. Dr. Gratch never reached out to me to address this matter. He even bumped into me and my wife on the street and he acted like he did not see us close to Fortunatto Brothers bakery. I am very disappointed and deceived.I just want to warn people that there is zero chance of this procedure to work and is very painful. Obviously, they just care about the money. I will never ever go back to MDCS, it was the worse experience ever and I know Dr. Gratch and trusted him. I have realized that it is better for me to sweat than not to sweat.

I recently had a breast reduction & lift done with her after years & years of wanting to do it but finding an excuse not to pull the trigger. But as soon as I met Dr. Devgan I knew I was in the right hands & I booked it right away. And the results are UNREAL. I've never had "pretty" breasts & I'm still shocked that they look as good as they do. Dr. Devgan's work is so natural & clean - I was sending photos to my friends only 2 days post surgery because I couldn't believe how good they already looked that early on. I also do facial injections with her & she is an ARTIST. She is very honest about what you need but also conservative in terms of not making you look overdone. She is not pushy AT ALL & I trust her implicitly. And her staff/how the office is run is lovely - so efficient, so respectful, so accommodating. As a nurse I know the ins & outs of a medical practice & am very in tune with how the office makes a patient feel & they are all ON POINT. I'm a proud Dr. Devgan groupie!

I had poorly done filler in 2021 by another office it was dissolved twice. most recently dissolved in 2024. I believed the hype of Dr. Devgans office from her IG, and had a non surgical rhino done with her years ago. so I thought she would be the right person to start over with lip injections. I was wrong. 3 days after having my injections I noticed they were above vermillion border, something I would expect done by an NP w little experience but not from a self proclaimed expert charging $1300 (not even a full syringe fyi) I got in touch with the office with pictures, they said they would schedule another visit. i asked if they would be charging me to dissolve this mistake-- and they said yes it's a different case. strangely they sent photos from the visit before my injections and you could clearly see in my pictures that issues prior from 2021 and 2022 had been dissolved. they tried to gaslight me by saying I had come in with migrated filler--- then why would she add more? also there's a photo-- and my photo showing misplacement from 3 days later... I felt the need to send them my receipts from dissolution in 2024 even though there was photographic evidence from THEIR office photos. TLDR - dont believe the hype. the good reviews are from her skincare line and if you search her name and "scam" or "fraud" you'll see I'm not the only one being mistreated

This really helped me to feel completely at ease in their hands and look forward to my operation with nothing but excitement and anticipation.

I can't imagine having a better plastic surgery experience than the experience I had with Dr. W and…read morehis team. I am now one-year post op after primary rhinoplasty (open) and neck lipo. I quickly forgot about my old nose and double chin. Those only exist in the horrific photos I sometimes come across and that is the only place they belong. So I'm going to break this review down into categories, so that it is easy for you to locate the part that is important to your search: 1. Results: - Very natural, essentially undetectable by a third party, but seriously impactful for me (in a positive way). My face has softened, feminized, and I no longer obsess over my nose on work calls. The feeling of disgust I felt every time I looked at myself in the mirror throughout the last few years has disappeared. There really isn't a price tag for that. Just going about your day NOT thinking about your nose.. imagine that! Even members of my family don't notice a thing. The kind of thing I hear often is: " you look younger somehow!". I"ll take that compliment any day! 2. Why Dr. Weintraub: - Other than the obvious - decades of experience, beautiful real patient post-op-photos , and elite credentials including industry groups like the Rhinoplasty Society (look it up), what struck me was that he immediately noticed what was RIGHT about my face, not just what needed improvement. I consulted with only the top rhinoplasty specialists in NYC and I am confident they all would have done a great job, but I couldn't shake the feeling of :"He's the one. I want him to operate in the center of my face." because I knew he actually really noticed my natural beauty and he would work to highlight that. Also - his patient results all truly looked unique. He didn't have a "style", which even the top NYC rhinoplasty surgeons have (you can always tell they add their own personal touch and you notice the pattern if you look at enough photos). Dr. W had no style - everyone looked like a hotter version of themselves, which is what I wanted for my look. I wanted no part of looking mass produced. 3. Experience: super smooth, easy and pain free recovery. I was back to normal in two days. Obsessing over my healing ups and downs was the hardest part, but Dr. W was there with me every step of the way, responding to my obsessive text messages promptly and answering all my questions. 4. His team: excellent - efficient, courteous, and all around treat you like royalty. Everyone from the administrative staff (Jill, Nicole, Justin) to the nurses, surgical assistants, and the anesthesiologist - everyone brought their A game to work. 5. I also really respect Dr. W's long term thinking ethos. He gave me advice regarding my neck/chin area that was very different from the advice I got from other surgeons, but it made a lot of sense to me, so I went with his (less is more) approach, so that in the event I wanted work done at some point later in life (and let's be honest, I'll be getting a facelift when I'm in my mid-60s), so that I would have the best outcome. In summary: I look like a younger, fresher, more feminine version of myself. My own parents, who were terrified about the whole thing, are thrilled that I still look like their daughter.

I underwent my initial gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Weintraub. He claims to employ a unique…read more"basket" cannula to excise firm gland tissue without cutting the nipple, instead accessing it through the armpit. However, I am here to inform anyone who is apprehensive about scars, hesitant to travel, or facing any other concerns that if you opt for a surgeon like this, you will only receive liposuction, contrary to what you were assured. In my case, the results of liposuction alone were aesthetically inferior to my previous appearance. In stark contrast to what Dr. Weintraub promised and what he advertises on Instagram, he did not remove ANY gland tissue. A different surgeon recently removed gland from me and verified it with photos. The second surgeon confirmed that I had previously undergone liposuction alone. Worse, even the lipo only procedure that Dr. Weintraub performed was uneven, removing way more from one side. I'm still dealing with the asymmetries. For this he charged me over $13,000. I believe there's only one reliable way to remove gland, and that's through the areola. I now understand that a skilled surgeon can minimize scars and can prevent cratering. Don't let an unscrupulous surgeon play on your fears.
