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.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Dr. Gary Russolillo
Today marks two years since my abdominoplasty (and muscle repair due to diastasis recti). From the beginning, Dr. Russolillo was incredibly professional, compassionate, and thorough. He took the time to fully explain the procedure and what I could expect, answering all of my questions with patience and care. His expertise gave me confidence in moving forward, and I can honestly say that I’ve never looked back. The results of my surgery have been nothing short of life-changing. Not only do I feel more confident in my body, but I’m also no longer dealing with the discomfort and physical limitations that come with diastasis recti. Dr. Russolillo’s skill in repairing my muscles and performing the abdominoplasty was truly exceptional, and the transformation has positively impacted every part of my life. I am beyond grateful for the care I received. It’s rare to find a surgeon who combines such technical excellence with genuine concern for their patients, and Dr. Russolillo is exactly that.

Dr. Russolillo, how does anyone thank a Cosmetic Surgeon, such as you? who over the course of decades has unselfishly devoted your life to enhancing the lives, of God only knows, how many patients. You've been instrumental, not only in the physical reshaping, but also in the emotional aspect of many lives, including mine. You are beyond superior as a Surgeon and human being! Little will many of us realize that as we go about our daily activities and life marches on -an element of you will always walk along with us. Your dedication to your profession and patients is quite evident! Thank you, for who you are- the brilliant Surgeon you are and for the honor of having you as my Surgeon !

Dr. Gary Russolillo is a true Artist & perfectionist! I’m Absolutely ecstatic and in love with the results I’ve seen in only a few days post op. I came to him with a deflated implant on the right side and capsulated implant on the left side & was concerned he may not be able to assist since he didn’t perform the initial surgery, but he welcomed the challenge! The results are absolutely amazing- I never imagined they could look like this & I couldn’t be happier with my decision to choose him

Dr. Russolillo is one of the most unprofessional people I have ever met. When I saw him in the office he made terrible comments that made me feel like I was ugly and he was pushing unnecessary procedures on me. Regardless, I went to him because his prices were not that bad. But now I realize that I should have payed a little extra to go to somebody else in the area in the first place. The infection I had was terrible and I had to have additional surgery (NOT by this DR) to revise my scars. Not
