Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible experience!
I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Dr Pillersdorf’s office. While I had hoped for a compassionate and professional environment, what I witnessed was appalling. Dr. Pillerdorf's behavior towards his staff was consistently rude and heartless. I saw him belittle and demean his team members in front of patients, creating a toxic atmosphere that made everyone uncomfortable. As a patient, I don't want to support a practice that tolerates such behavior. The lack of respect and empathy Dr. Pillersdorf showed his staff was staggering, and I won't be coming back.

Crooks, told me ins would pay LIED
i was sent for an eye exam Dr, Hafts office, said Sabina ( has lied to me many times) called me and said "wow your insurance is great it covered everything. Not so I proceeded to have all the pre opt done, then went the day before surgery then they told me it would be $5500. out of pocket. Well it was only an upper eye lift, II was so upset already to have surgery the next day. I called my insurance co, Atnea They explained to me they did not even submit all the insurance info. They are crooks. I have been a client for many years and it sure has changed, I would not recomend ANYTHING Sabina office lady is such a fast talker and lier. do not be caught up in their web

I never wrote a review before but felt I had too. While I truly feel Dr Pillowsdorf is an excellent Dr. his office staff is worse than unreliable. I would never use him as I never received return phone calls, always referred to another person person, totally uncaring for the patient. If I had this much trouble trying to get surgery I could only imagine what works happen if I had a problem post surgery. When I cancelled the surgery, the office manager called me as to ask why. When she said her name, I realized she was the one who never returned my calls. The procedure was for a precancerous surgery which I was going to self pay. Stay away from this office!

Horrible doctor. I woke up from surgery all bloody and one breast much larger than the other. Surgery had to be done over a few weeks later. Never turned out the way it was supposed to. He is totally incompetent

This office fully exceeded my expectations. Professionalism from start to finish. State of the art, immaculate surgical center with assistants who went above and beyond in every way. My surgical procedure was minor (cyst removal), but I was made to feel as though I was the most important patient of the day. I actually found myself enjoying the surgery, if that makes any sense. And as an added bonus, the surgery was performed so well that I have no viewable scarring. I highly recommend this office!

I absolutely love him. He did a fantastic and perfect job on my breast augmentation. He is a perfectionist with his work. He is very funny and makes you feel very comfortable.

This man should not be practicing medicine. He has no compassion. No skill. If you have absolutely no complications you may be ok. Get another opinion

Dr Pillersdorf has proven to me that he has the technical skills, the heart and compassion to be considered amongst the best Plastic Surgeons in Florida. He did an excellent job with my Panniculectomy. While doing this procedure, he found a hernia and fixed that as well. No infection, 35" of incision, and all neat and clean. My outlook is terrific. He was caring and explained everything. I very highly recommend Dr Pillersdorf for ANY Plastic Surgery.
