i went to doctor d'amore to remove my implants and he left me with terrible cuts that hurt me everyday. i don't think he could have done a worse job. i should have never gone to him as i felt he had a dark side. it was clear to me the first time i met him but i let it go. biggest mistake of my life. read more

This review is greatly overdue as I've had multiple procedures with Dr. D'amore. I highly recommend Dr. D' amore and his staff. From Edna at the front office to the nurses Natascha and Tera and patient coordinator Michele and of course the expertise and keen eye of Dr. D' amore himself. Last year, after realizing that my body no longer agreed with my breast implants I had them removed. After adjusting to my new shape, I'm very glad I had them removed. They had scar tissue around them and one breast was infected. Dr. D'amore and his staff truly care about the health and well-being of their patients and it shows. I feel good knowing I'm in caring and skillful hands for any cosmetic procedure I may decide to do in the future. read more

If you're considering surgery and looking for a Dr. that will truly hear your concerns and a Dr. with unsurpassed knowledge and experience, look no further. Dr. D'Amore is a rare find! He's compassionate and tries very hard to exceed your greatest expectations AND SUCCEEDS!! This Dr. was literally an answer to my prayers. I will sing his praises to all! I would....and do recommend Dr. D'Amore to ALL of my loved ones. If I EVER needed surgery again.... this is without a doubt the Dr. I would call. I love him and his office staff! read more

I had problems several years after reconstructive surgery, won a battle with breast cancer so I went to see this doctor upon recommendation of a friend of a friend. My friend had this doctor do a breast augmentation around the same time and her stitches tore on both sides and she had to go back multiple times and has never healed properly. I wish I would have know that before he worked on me. At any rate, he performed the necessary surgery, however I'm not sure what he did as there was a very noticeable protrusion on my right breast, looks like something is sticking out about a quarter of an inch!! I made another appt and he said he wanted to have a colleague consult during my visit. I am very timid and self-conscious about my naked body but wanted to feel normal and whole. So after I disrobed, they both came in and after looking me over his colleague said I don't work on breasts, I do eyes. I was absolutely flabbergasted, embarrased beyond words and completely humiliated, I grabbed my clothes and ran out of there in a paper robe! I can't even imagine why he would ask another doctor to consult who never did this type of surgery!! I couldn't bring myself to go back after such a traumatizing experience. I recently had a preventative CT scan on my lungs, thank God my lungs were OK but they told me both implants were ruptured, they said they couldn't tell how long ago it happened but I suspect it was sooner rather than later considering the pain I have felt for quite some time. I contacted the doctors office yesterday, telling him what has now happened to me, he said he wouldn't be doing anything about it. I will now have to pursue legal options. I am certain that my friend and I are not the only ones with serious problems after dealing with him, most likely they don't write reviews as my friend didn't, or he has been able to delete them and only keeps the favorable reviews. BUYER BEWARE!!! read more

Just went in for a consult and I felt an instant distrust of what he was saying to do with regard to fill on the left side of my face. Very cold and detached style. Edna was great as my first point of contact as was the other woman sitting on the lobby. read more

I had Liposuction last year to my stomach and it looks TERRIBLE!! My stomach is not even, I have more fat on side than the other. I have indents where he took too much of the fat away. I went into his office to talk about my concerns, the other staff members saw what I saw. When Dr. D'amore came in and said "sometimes the skin changes after surgery and it is not extra fat on this one side" "why don't you go to a Laser clinic and they can fix it??!!" What....I could not believe what I was hearing!! I just spent a HUGE amount of money, he did not even offer to fix the problem or even pay for me to go get it fixed! I was not looking for perfection, I wanted to look a little better in my clothes....I am now, very embarrassed of my stomach!!! read more

Dr. Tancredi D'Amore and his staff are AMAZING! They completely surpassed my expectations and have gone above and beyond in every possible way. I was suffering from Breast Implant Illness and a very uncomfortable contracture in my 5 year old silicone implants when I found Dr. D'Amore. His experience with implant removal, surgical skills with microsurgery, and his belief in BII are what drew me to choose him as my surgeon. Choosing him was the best decision I could have made. During my surgery, he discovered my contractured implant also was ruptured. Waking up to news like that shook me. The only reason I am at peace with that devastating news is because I know without a doubt that I was completely taken care of. All the silicone was removed along with the capsules containing my implants. I am so excited and confident for my future health. For anyone who is interested in getting implants or removing theirs, please join the Facebook group for more information, testimonials, and my own personal experience with BII and many pictures. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Healingbreastimplantillness/?ref=share Also, despite having my implants removed, I find that I actually look better without them! And that's attributed to the skill of Dr. D'Amore. He has my highest recommendation! read more

It's been almost 4 years and I still suffer from his work on me. I have gone to 5 plastic surgeons and they won't touch me because these plastic surgeons tell me to go back to him because they don't think they can repair what he had done to me. I had cancer and was told to have my implants removed. I had always gone to Dr. Minami for work but he has retired. I went to A'amore because of a review. It was one of the worst mistakes I have ever made. It's been very painful and the scars are still there. I have never had scars before. I had to go under a stem transplant for my cancer and the only thing that was painful were these scars. The Doctors at Cedars Sinai looked at the cuts and how he left me looking like a freak and would just shake their heads and tell me how sorry they were. I wanted to get new implants when I was in LA but the doctor told me he couldn't do it because D"amore cut too much skin under my breast . Before my implants were put through my nipples and they were beautiful. no scars just right. I can' wear a swim suit or bras with metal lining under the cup. It is too painful and to wear dresses I have to use tape to even get them in place as one breast is almost under my arm. I have prayed to forgive this man and I am now at peace with my self and what happen to me. I won't go on anymore but I had to get this off my chest. The only good thing is the doctors I have seen have taken photos to show what a bad job looks like. I even agreed to show my breasts at a meeting for cancer patients to warn them about how not to end up like me. So I have a photo in a pamphlet of my chest but not my face or name. And I have talked to many women that were left looking terrible and needed to talk to someone. It is my hope that D'amore will never do this to anyone else. And to end this I didn't sue because I was undergoing chemo treatments for years and I'am happy to say I survived cancer . My husband died of Covid and I no longer have the desire to undergo anymore treatments. I never let him see me as I worn lovely night gowns and bras that were beautiful and he always understood, Good Luck to you all. God bless you to keep you safe. read more

I probably saw every doctor in Marin and San Francisco, but when I met with dr d'amore, I had a good feeling about him and I'm glad I went with it. Results exceeded my expectations! Can not recommend him enough.. 10 stars!! read more

Hi just an update as I get many private messages. I got a call from Dr D'Amore's office with an offer of compensation. The woman said she worked in Dr. D'Amore's office. She was nice and after the call I googled her and found out.....she did NOT infact work in his office. She was partof/an employee of the insurance company. I wonder why Dr D'Amore could not have been honest. Really just added so much emotional stress when you cannot believe anything that come out of his office. Feel free to reach out to me and I can give you specifics. read more

Excellent Surgeon and staff! I had an explant with Dr. D'Amore and I can't say enough about him or his staff! First, my natural breasts turned out wonderful and are even. Second, Dr. D'Amore is so kind and really listened to me about BII. He called personally after the surgery to check on me. Finally, His staff is so nice - Natasha, Edna, Elizabeth, Michelle you guys Rock! Everyone else that I do not know by name were also wonderful! Thank you for being so wonderful! read more

I came to Dr. D'Amore about Botox and fillers (smile lines and lips) and was incredibly pleased with my experience and results. Dr. D'Amore's (and his staff's) warm and kind energy immediately put me at ease. He advised me on the most natural-looking route and--thanks to his expert and gentle touch--the whole procedure was practically painless! A friend accompanied me to the appointment and was in awe at how it turned out. It was amazing to see how just a subtle boost in volume totally rejuvenated my face. I highly recommend Dr. D'Amore for his eye for aesthetics and conservative approach. read more

Tancredi D'amore, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Corte Madera, California

I've had two surgeries with Dr. D'Amore now. The first was a breast augmentation 13 years ago and just last week I had them removed. He is beyond professional as his the entire staff ( I LOVE Edna, Terra and Natasha but I had the most contact with them, other than the dr himself- obviously. While I am still swollen I am so happy with my results.... I should add I had a tummy tuck as well, after two kids back to back and WOW, my husband and I are so impressed even with the swelling. Everyone made sure I was comfortable pain wise the entire time. I can't recommend Dr D'Amore enough. He also has great bedside manners. read more

After years of abhorring my badly wrinkled face, I decided to pursue a facelift. I met with several plastic surgeons, some highly recommended, some highly reviewed. One day, I stopped a woman at the gym after noticing a tiny scar behind her ear. She had just had a facelift and I was shocked to discover that this very young looking woman was 72. That led me to Dr. Tancredi D'Amore who, with surgical precision, has also made me young and beautiful. A warm, thoughtful, calm physician, Dr. D'Amore, along with a very attentive, very personable staff, has made the experience as smooth and painless as possible. I am very pleased to recommend Dr. D'Amore with highest regard and appreciation. read more

I adore Dr. D'amore and his staff. Yes this is as good as it gets. I felt Dr. D'amore had my best interests as though I was his daughter. I'm absolutely thrilled with the results of my neck lift. I have been to other surgeons. I wouldn't just call Dr. D'amore a cosmetic surgeon I would call him an artist. An artist knows when to stop. I feel I look natural and the neck lift I had to go along with an earlier facelift made all the difference in the world. His staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I would never trust my face to anyone else. He is without doubt in my opinion "the best of the best. read more

Tancredi D'amore, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Corte Madera, California

This was my first and only plastic surgery, a neck lift. Yes, the staff is nice, the office is pleasant, and the doctor has a soothing manner. However, two years after my surgery, my left ear remains COMPLETELY numb and the surgery left me with strange swellings on each temple. When I initially complained about these, I was told they would go down. The doctor gave me a cortisone shot to reduce the inflammation. The nurse tried to convince me that the bumps gave the illusion of high cheekbones, which frankly did not go over well. Well, here I am, two years later. Yes, I look younger and my turkey neck is gone, but I am stuck with a numb ear and two unsightly bumps on either side of my face that make me feel like an alien. My fault - I did not shop around. And besides, he had glowing recommendations. read more

I am a hairstylist and I see a lot of plastic surgery. This man does an amazing job. He's the first one I recommend when my clients ask. His scars are very clean and everyone I've seen heals quickly and cleanly. Believe me, I see a lot of surgery scars and some look terrible! D'Amore is meticulous and an artist. Everyone comes out looking natural and brightened up. Not stretched and surprised. This man also reattached my brother's finger 9 years ago. My brother's finger was not thought to get movement back or even stay attached, but he can use it and it looks good. If D'Amore can do that, he can handle anything! read more

I can't say that I have every reviewed a doc before, but this one is amazing. The surgery center is there in the office... my cosmetic surgery was painless, easy to do, and my recovery was very quick. Dr. D'amore is more artist than doctor, and he corrected my natural off-kilter shape to bring perfect symmetry... with the enhancements science gives us the ability to enjoy. My breast enhancement looks amazing.. several years later and no one can tell I had implants. (Unless I brag, which I do from time to time.) I chose the silicon gel... a touch more expensive, but totally worth it. They look and feel better than real. The surgery itself was amazing... if every doctor had that kind of bedside manner, people would LOVE to go to the doctor. They even had warmers on my feet so that when I woke up my feet would be toasty warm and comfortable. I was up and working within a few days... recovery was quick and painless. The doc is great, and if I get any more cosmetic enhancements, it will be here. read more

I went to dr. D'Amore for a breast explant. I had been having breast implant illness. My whole experience with D'amore was comforting and I feel like I was really listened to. I did removal of the implants no lift and he got me back to my pre-implant breasts . The surgery team was fantastic I am healing really well. The operating bed was warm so that made me very calm. Usually I freak out before surgery but this time I felt peaceful. I recommend him to anyone. read more

Wonderful person and passionate Doctor. He really cares about people and his patients. No one I would trust more...

As a clinical esthetician I have attended a view seminars and met couple of plastic surgeon's during my over 25 years long of practice. Doctor D'Amore really stands out. His patience , warmth and kindness not to bring the professionalism and generosity put him on top of my list. Terese Terese European Skin and Body Care read more

I have waited 5 years to write this review. Honestly because I thought at some point this man and his practice would do the right thing. Unfortunately they did not. During my first pregnancy in 2016 my right breast began to swell and throb. I went into the office. The Dr did not see me and a nurse did that told me it was probably pregnancy related. After I gave birth my breast swelled to the size of a watermelon. They drained a jar of fluid out of it twice. At 8 weeks postpartum I was told the implants needed to be removed immediately. I had a rare form of AFB in my breast. Dr DiAmore removed my implants while I was lactating. Immediately after one breast drain was draining breast milk. Dr DIAmore insisted it was not milk. It was. I developed a secondary infection. I had 2 drains in 30 days with a brand new baby. During this time this doctor and his office offered NO sympathy for my situation. My incision under my breast where breast milk was leaking was not healed 2 months post removal. Dr DiAmore had me put a bandage on it. I asked if I should see a specialist. He said why? I sought out my own breast specialist who immediately said I needed surgery again to repair a fistula. I was told a plastic surgeon should not have operated on a lactating breast as this is beyond his scope of medicine. I saw an infectious disease doctor. After months they ID'd my infection as a rare form of AFB, common as an upper respiratory infection in men found in Italy and Asia. How it ended up in my breast breaks down to him or the implant. According to the infectious disease doctor it was only able to enter my breast cavity during surgery. I am numb under both breasts. The breast surgeon had to remove more tissue due to the secondary infection and fistula Dr Di Amore ignored. I am disfigured and have been depressed over what happened to me. I wrote DrDiAmore an email after this happened and he never responded. I see his responses on here and it's clear it's just for his image. This man doesn't care. At all. I sat in his office with a brand new baby sobbing and he showed me not one ounce of sympathy. I had to be on antibiotics for a year. Fast forward to this year. I am done having children and I want to get my breasts fixed. I contacted sientra and found out he never reported explanting me, and never sent my implants to them for analysis. This is a vital step because this infection was so severe it could have killed me. Yet he threw them away. I have never gotten an apology. Or any type of compensation. This office did everything they could to brush me under the rug. Please please do not let this man disfigure you the way he has me. I regret my decision more than anything in this world. read more

My experience with Dr. D'Amore from start to finish was amazing!!! His staff is incredible, sensitive, mindful, caring and just all around lovely! Dr. D'Amore is such a kindhearted gentleman with wonderful bedside manner and his work is off the charts! He is truly gifted in what he does and I have never been happier! I have several friends who have been to him for various procedures and we all sing his praises! He truly is amazing and I will be forever grateful to him and his awesome staff for everything!!! read more

I had surgery 7 days ago. I am new to all of this. I am a healthy, fit 69 year old. I had a a neck lift, jowl lift, bags removed under my eyes and a mini-tummy tuck to remove a "pooch" from 2 c-sections 29 and 33 years ago. I could not be happier with the outcome, the staff, and the lack of pain. This will be a long review. Being new, I was looking for a "blow by blow" so that's what you'll get here. The staff put me at ease from day one. Whenever I called I felt they remembered me. There was nothing artificial about this. Dr. D'Amore is personable, professional and invokes confidence without any trace of self importance. To my surprise, I made my decision at my initial consult as was able to "sneak in" between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This was a bit of a gamble in terms of healing but so far so good. The day of surgery I was quite scared--that is until I walked into the office. The next 30 minutes was relaxed and painless and next thing I knew I was awake in a comfortable recovery chair. My husband drove me the 50 minute ride home. I dozed and continued to do so for the next 24 hours. I used prophylactic sleep meds and tylenol with codeine, not because I was in pain but to stay ahead of any I might have. I never had pain. My skin certainly felt "funny", and the lymph drainage was uncomfortable. I avoided the mirror but did take a daily photo upon rising and then after my shower and applying a bit of makeup. I bought a cheap "sun tanned" foundation which was perfect! I've made the choice to stay inside until I am "fully healed"/that is until I don't think people will ask questions! It's been hard keeping to this as I feel good and the healing is much faster than anticipated. I am bruised but I'd say this is minimal--again much less than expected. I'm someone who does best expecting the worst and being pleasantly surprised when things go better than expected. This has FAR surpassed anything I anticipated. It's really been a bit of a Christmas miracle! I'm taking a chance that 3 weeks until a family visit to the midwest will be enough healing to feel inconspicuous. My goal is look and feel "refreshed" and youthful and for people to think "she sure looks good" rather than, "she's had work done". At 7 days out--I think this will all be the case. Each day my "outside" looks and feels more like I've always felt "inside". I bet you know what I mean. I am deeply grateful to all the staff and fortunate to have had the resources to make this all come true. If you have the inclination, the money and a little time---I'd say "don't put it off a day longer" I hope this helps other "newbies" like myself. Elizabeth read more

I would recommend Dr.D'Amore to anyone looking for an extremely experienced and talented surgeon who stands by his work. He exhibits a wonderful eye for symmetry and proportion. I came to him to correct a problem with my breasts that made me very self-conscious when working as a fashion model.He was able to create a solution that resolved the issues in a very subtle and elegant style.His office is staffed with first class professionals who go out of their way to make sure you are informed,comfortable and safe every step of the way.I believe anyone can trust Dr.D'Amore and his team to deliver beautiful results. read more

Dr D'Amore did an amazing job on my implant removal/enbloc and breast lift. I highly recommend him, he is a true artist. What separates him from other surgeons is his compassion for his patients. read more

From the free initial consultation, to the warm and friendly staff, to the well-informed and highly capable nurses, to the very competent surgical staff, Dr. D'Amore's office offers wrap-around care. They are not only efficient and professional, they do everything they can to make one feel comfortable. Dr. D'Amore himself is a gem. His understanding of how to create a natural look reflects his extensive experience and his finely-tuned skill. He is kind, reassuring and expertly qualified. He clearly sets a high bar for the whole office. I couldn't be happier with the care I've received, and the results (only 3 weeks out) are fantastic! K. M. read more

This man saved my life! The best of the best! Breast implant removal and lift... I couldn't be happier.

Where to begin? I am so happy. I have been waiting years to get rid of my sagging neck and jawline. I couldn't have dreamed of a better result than what I received from Dr. D'amore and his staff. He is a warm, kind, and understanding doctor, and a consummate professional. His expertise and attention to detail cannot be overstated. During my initial consultation for a face and neck lift, he understood my goals, and explained what he could do to help me achieve a natural and "not overdone" look. Throughout my pre-op and post op visits, he kept at bay the normal fears and concerns anyone would have with his calm and professional demeanor; he really made me feel like he was going to take care of me, and he did. While not going into too much detail, I have to mention that I had absolutely no bruising post-op. What a difference that made to my post-op morale. Nor did I need serious pain killers after the first night, and overall I had zero complications. I'm so grateful for the impeccable care that I received from both the office and operating room staffs; thank you all so much, especially Jennifer, Sharon and Michelle! I am now 4 months post-op, and every day I am more pleased with my result. I cannot get over how natural it looks. In a matter of hours, Dr. D'amore skillfully and artfully removed more than 10 years from my face. Simply amazing! read more

Dr D'amore is the best of the best! He and his staff are kind, attentive, detail oriented, and have the best interest of the patient in mind. I can not recommend this office more highly. read more

I have had more than one procedure performed by Dr. D'Amore. I can't say enough great things about his staff, his professional manner and, best of all, the incredible results. His goal is a natural look; no one has ever asked if I had plastic surgery, but many are shocked when they realize my age. Look no further; he is the best! read more

As a dyed-in-the-wool skeptic of plastic surgery, I now completely recant my opinion. Dr. D'Amore changed my eyelids and changed my life! No more lines in my forehead from trying to lift those lids from my eyes and people continue to remark about how good I look. Most importantly, I LOVE how I look. Could not recommend Dr. D'Amore more enthusiastically. A Halsey Novato, CA read more

I just got home from seeing Dr D'amore. I was there for a follow-up for a breast reduction surgery 2 days ago. I am over the moon happy with the results. After having 3 kids, my chest was out of control. I could never wear a t-shirt. Now I can. He is an artist. I look forward to going back to have more tune ups on my face. I had the best experience ever !! His staff is wonderful Gina and Lisa. Scott was my anesthesiologist. Can't say enough about all of them !! 2/3/15 I just had my second procedure with Dr. D'amore and I am 2 weeks into my recovery. I am thrilled with the results. I wanted to feel refreshed and not done. it's no wonder Dr D'amori was the only Plastic Surgeon in Marin County in the latest San Francisco Magazine 100 Top Docs. Congratulations to the entire staff !! read more

When I tripped and cut my forehead just above my eyebrow, my husband took me to the emergency room at Marin General. Thank goodness Dr. D'amore was the on-call plastic surgeon that night. He came in and fixed me up and to this day I don't even have a scar. You never forget someone like Dr. D. He's a fine doctor and I recommend him highly. read more

Let me start with saying Dr. Tancredi is such a caring honest personable doctor. I have been to many consultation local and not so local (at least 8 different surgerons in the bay area alone). This doctor made me feel so comfortable and confident in his ability to care for my precious body. I could not have made a better choice. His bedside manner and entire staff was excellent! Let's talk about the actual procedure....SUPERIOR! NATURAL LOOKING! THIS MAN SCULPTED ME LIKE A PIECE OF ART WORK! I love it! Love it it! If you are considering lipo or abdominalplasty consider the best around. You will be glad you did. read more

I found Dr. D'Amore on the recommended list of En Bloc explant surgeons on HealingBreastImplantIllnes site. It was very important to me to have a surgeon trained in the En Bloc removal procedure. This is the safest way to remove implants. (When I had the implants done 30 years ago, no one knew about the side effects and the need for explant / re-implant especially if there is encapsulation. The original surgeon broke the encapsulation and I had suffered from chronic fatigue, brain fog all those years afterward.) I was very nervous about this surgery, Dr. D'Amore and everyone in the office put me completely at ease. They were friendly, welcoming and I felt very comfortable & taken care of. I was very confident in Dr. D'Amore, the anesthesiologist and everyone in the office. They allowed me to do what I needed to do to feel comfortable and were very supportive. I am feeling much better and am extremely grateful to Dr. D'Amore, the anesthesiologist and everyone in the office and would highly recommend them. read more

I just completed my second procedure with Dr D'Amore and I am so pleased. One year ago to this date he did a neck lift and it turned our so natural and I couldn't be happier. Now two weeks ago I had a breast reduction lift and I can't believe how nice the turned out. I have to say it was painless and I never took a single pain killer. Dr D'Amore is so gentle, so kind and his bedside manner is that of a prince. His talent in his field NEVER doubt..he is amazing and I would go to him forever! Thank you Dr D for another fine job. Biggist bonus is Dr D'Amore's staff is wonderful ..Big thank you's to Michelle, Edna and all the gals who where there for me every step of the way. Love to all Lora read more

His work truly is the best work I have ever seen. I am a hair dresser as well and have seen many scars as Tabra C. has. I have 2 friends that have recently had a " mini " face lift and they look amazing. They look better and healthy but you can't tell why. None of that " cat stuck in a fence " look. He did a breast reduction on me 6 years ago and I'm still recommending him. Best thing I ever did! read more

Dr D'Amore was highly recommended to me for lower and upper blepharoplasty surgery. I was a little reluctant prior to my initial consultation because I had never had plastic surgery but walked away with complete confidence that I was in the right hands. He clearly described the procedures and the result was fantastic. The sags under my eyes that I had lived with for years were removed and the result was dramatic to me but subtle to those close to me. I can't say enough positive things about the staff and Dr D'Amore. I am very happy with the procedures that Dr D'Amore performed. read more
