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.

I went to the office multiple times for steroid injections. I was told to wait a few years to see if it would flatten out. It did not. I just left from his office after a consultation with him, he is going to fix the dogs ear himself. He was very polite and explained a lot of things about how the procedure was preformed that the other doctor who had done the surgery did not. I am looking forward to seeing the progress :)

As of this date, November 11th, 2024, I have had two major surgeries to help with the unbearable…read morediscomfort I am still living with. And a few minor surgeries as well. I have now consulted with 20 plastic surgeons. I have tried almost everything - acupuncture. LLLT stands for low-level laser therapy, massage, nerve pills, etc. Two different NYC surgeons performed the two major surgeries. Each surgery helped somewhat; however, it was not enough as I am still in search of relief. The nightmare continues as my bank account dwindles. I would trade my discomfort for a visible scar running across my face. Please learn from my mistake, and let me say it is better to feel good than to look good.

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!!

The staff makes you feel very welcomed and were very attentive with any questions I had. They always responded right away and were very kind. They are honestly great. If you're considering rhinoplasty surgery, I would strongly recommend Dr. Pearlman as it is literally his area of expertise. He has experience, is highly regarded by other highly regarded surgons, and my recovery time was very easy (seven days) thanks to his skill. It's been one year since my procedure and I am so glad I did it. Zero regrets.

This was one of the most jarring medical experiences I've ever had. From the moment I arrived, the…read moretone was cold, dismissive, and completely devoid of compassion. I paid for a consultation and left feeling disrespected. The surgeon seemed disinterested from the beginning, interrupting constantly and responding to concerns with smug, passive-aggressive and slightly creepy remarks. Rather than listening or engaging with empathy, he treated the entire conversation like a performance--one in which he needed to feel superior, and I was expected to play along. Here's the truth: It's already hard enough to go through surgery. To live in a body that doesn't feel like your own. To come in seeking help. But what makes it worse--what adds lasting damage--is when a doctor chooses to be cruel instead of kind. Especially when that cruelty is completely unprovoked and done to a vulnerable person seeking support. It's perfectly reasonable for a surgeon not to want a case. But what's not fine is treating someone who showed up with hope, vulnerability, and money in hand like they are a nuisance or a problem to be managed. This wasn't medical care--it was an ego trip. And it left me feeling icked out, with a negative perception of a person who could have helped me. If you value a sliver of emotional intelligence, integrity, professionalism, empathy, or even basic respect in a dr, look elsewhere.

**** Graphic hospital photos attached!…read more Writing this review for a friend that does not have an account. Last time this year I was in the emergency room to hear a dr. telling me that I would need my arm amputated due to a horrible accident. Imagine waking up in the emergency room frightened & flat on your back... a group of doctors and nurses huddled over you with grim faces... and hearing the words amputation... thus ending my career as a painter. I call him my "Angel". Dr. Rayham... he was on his way home to have dinner with his wife. As he passed through the emergency room he heard the words amputation- he walked over read my chart & looked at my xrays. Like a scene in a movie he parted the crowd with confidence and authority and said Mr Abramo "I can save your arm, but we need to do the surgery now!" I agreed and was prepped for surgery... I was in the hospital for about 2 months recovering and then home with therapy. Most importantly I am so pleased to say I have use of my arm, hand and fingers. Some people look at my arm and are take aback... but I think it's beautiful. God bless Dr Rayham.

Nearly two years later, I couldn't be happier with the results, and every time I look at my new breasts, I'm reminded of what an amazing job Dr. Rayham did. I was nervous since this was my first major surgery, but from the moment I walked into his office, I felt at ease. The staff was friendly and professional, and Dr. Rayham took the time to ask me detailed questions about my goals. Unlike other consultations, he didn't pressure me when I said I wasn't interested in implants. Instead, he was straightforward about the procedure I would need, explaining everything thoroughly. He also offered a competitive price compared to several quotes I had gotten from doctors in Manhattan. Dr. Rayham was incredibly attentive, asking about any medications I was taking to ensure there wouldn't be any interactions with my recovery meds. He even inquired about my future weight plans to help determine the best sizing and shape for my breasts, which I really appreciated. The office staff kept me well-informed throughout the entire process and provided all the documentation I needed before surgery. On the day of surgery, Dr. Rayham's calming words and reassurance made all the difference. As he prepped me for surgery, he kept telling me, "You're going to love them, you'll see." His confidence and care put me at ease. After the procedure, he checked in on me personally, and both he and his staff followed up later that evening and the next morning. It was comforting to know he was just a phone call away if I needed anything. Recovery went smoothly, and I appreciated the extra care, like the additional surgical tape provided by the office. I also purchased more from them to help minimize scarring. After a few follow-up visits, Dr. Rayham continued to show the same level of care and attentiveness he had from the start. As a bonus, I received a generous discount for future services. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Rayham at RR Plastix. He's not only a talented surgeon but also incredibly personable--plus, he's quite handsome! I'm a very satisfied patient.

Doctor canceled follow-up visits many times, didn't listen to complaints, pushed off concerns. Procedure was not done correctly and one side of the tummy looks better, but the other side looks like I never had the procedure other than the scar across the abdomen. When the doctor finally deemed it appropriate to acknowledge that the procedure had not worked, I was offered some perks but no correction to the botched tummy tuck; no refund, no new procedure. If I wanted to correct the error, I would have to pay for it out of pocket. Needless to say, learn from my mistake and stay away from this place.

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.

I had an endoscopic brow lift performed by Dr. Rosenberg…read more During two consultations, Dr. Rosenberg and I discussed my specific goals--maintaining my brow shape and overall look while discreetly lifting my brow and leaving me less tired-looking. Maintaining my distinct brow shape was vital since I have been a professional model for 30 years. There was nothing wrong with it; I just needed to look refreshed. The outcome was very disappointing. Dr. Rosenberg changed my brow shape; not only did he change it, but my brows were arched in two different directions. Dr. Rosenberg has a formulaic approach. Just as there is a "Dr. Rosenberg nose," there are also "Dr. Rosenberg eyes," both of which are generic and lack refinement and personality. This cookie-cutter approach to surgery is outdated. It is more about the surgeon's ego than skill. For this kind of work, you can go to any plastic surgeon; there is no need to pay his overblown prices. When I expressed my dissatisfaction and concerns, Dr. Rosenberg reacted poorly. He was condescending, rude, and dismissive. Finally, he instructed me, "It will drop; just give it two years. This is why people don't like this technique. It does not last." My office experience was unsatisfactory. The office tends to run late, cancel and reschedule appointments, and lack respect for other people's time. There are a few nice nurses.

I did receive a call from his office asking if I could come in earlier than the scheduled reception date. I was thrilled, and of course, I said yes, even though I would have to show up at 7:00 AM. Once I was there, I realized I was not going to get a real consultation as he was performing surgery on a different patient. Dr. Rosenberg ignored my questions, excused himself twice to check on the patient he was about to operate on. Five hundred dollars later, I learned nothing; I wasn't heard. Why would one of the top face-lift surgeons need $500? The experience turned out to be a total disappointment; It made me feel completely taken advantage of.
