Dr. Gary Alter, MD

10 years I had a botched labiaplasty by an inexperienced GYN who lied to me and used me as his guinea pig. I was very devastated and thought my life was over. I searched over a year and saw over 12 surgeons. Many who did not want to take my case. Others who could not promise me anything, because I was high risk to them. Until, one day one of the plastic surgeon told me to search for Dr. Alter who may be able to help me. He was 100% right! Dr. Alter is amazing!He is a genius and a true artist at what he does. Dr. Alter was the first surgeon I met who was very confident. He was calming, reassuring, and showed me pictures of his work. He was very down to earth and not arrogant. I was very impressed with Dr. Alter. I knew he was the surgeon I can trust and It was the best decision ever. I don’t think there could be anyone better than Dr. Alter. My surgery went well. I experienced very little pain, it healed beautiful, and looked amazing! I couldn’t be any happier.

I had labiaplasty surgery a couple of years ago with Dr Gary Alter. I don't think the cosmetic results are good. I also have issues with pain. My pain issues sparked up again recently and I reached out to Dr Alter. First he replied saying he has no patient with my name. Then he replied again saying he had found my file and recommended I see a gynaecologist. I soon after called his office and set up a phone appointment with him and he confirmed I had a medical problem causing pain and recommended revision surgery. He said this was all in his notes claimed there was a "miscommunication". So after this recent phone call, his office sent me a quote for amount similar to the original fee I paid, even though my original surgery obviously did not address the issues supposedly noted in my file. Have emailed both Zena and Dr Alter with questions – neither have bothered to respond. Dr Alter is a horrible person and I don’t recommend going here EVER.

From the beginning, his staff was amazing, professional and kind. Dr. Alter, was excellent, from the point of consultation to post operation check up. Dr. Alter is caring, informative and a very accomplished Plastic Surgeon, the outcome of my surgery is beyond my expectations. Can't recommend him more highly.

If you need serious care please find someone else. He is very conceded with self motivating desires only for husband reputation. I searched for years for a doctor who could help relieve my pain, finally I thought I found someone. He directed me to get painful electrolysis treatments for a year to prepare for his operation only to have him back out at the last minute saying he never said he could help me. Now he ignors my calls and emails with no explanation. Please find a doctor who cares. Run!
