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.

Not a good doctor
He started to treat me at San Francisco and it was for Cancer prevention. I had many repeated complications. Then one visit, he said he could not do what we had planned and was referring me to another Doctor! Found out later, after my complaints of being left in my situation, that he was moving to New York City!

“OVERJOYED” !!
Dr. Sbitany did such a gorgeous Breast reconstruction for me I’m so happy I’m overjoyed !! I was a very complicated case , but he took excellent care of me . He is the most genuine, kind person I have truly ever met . But his experience and expertise is well worth my four hour drive from Boston to New York , I would fly across the country if I needed him . You are in the Best Ever Care with Dr. Sbitany . I wish I could show the world what he did for me , I feel whole and pretty again, after two years of being flat and depressed in pain . Skip the rest and just go to the best !!

AMAZING BREAST RECONSTRUCTION
I am only four days post op and my breast reconstruction looks AMAZING, Dr. Sbitany is truly the best Plastic Surgeon on the planet. I came to him in horrible shape from damage done by another doctor. I felt hopeless. He has the kindness and a great personality, makes you feel right at home , even if you’re far away from home like me . I came from Boston. His work is perfection!! I’m so very grateful!! I had the Diep flap .

Dr. Sbitany made this process as easy as possible
I of course wish I never had breast cancer years ago. My doctors were wonderful, but mastectomy and radiation were challenging to heal from. I am so glad I finally made the decision to have reconstruction this year. I chose Dr. Sbitany as my plastic surgeon, and I am thrilled with the outcome. He performed my DIEP flap, and I have the breast I never thought I would have again. I feel and look great, and am so grateful.

Grateful in Massachusetts – Nov 06, 2022

A total and complete disaster
I have spent nearly 2 years trying to recover from the totally unprofessional work of Dr. Sbitany and his staff. Before the surgery, Dr. Sbitany was totally attentive, but once it failed, I was treated like an emotionally impatient person, until he finally and coldly told me to live with my pain or remove the implant. This is after months of telling me what I was experiencing was just part of the healing process. After the fact, I learned that doing an implant or even a flap should not be done on skin that had radiation. He not only should not have done the implant, but I was abandoned in the recovery room until midnight because one of his staff didn't discharge me. I was alone in the room with two wonderful nurses who kept trying to reach a doctor to discharge me to my room. I will having a procedure from a doctor at Memorial Sloan Kettering who explained it might help somewhat, but that the scarring is so bad nothing will really improve my breathing problems and pain. Good luck.

So grateful!!
Dr. Sbitany impacted my life in such an incredibly positive way, I can't thank him enough. I had such a complicated situation after my mastectomy and radiation, and he was able to handle everything, and offer me an amazing surgical outcome and beautiful breast reconstruction. It really makes a difference to see a top expert in the field, and that is exactly what Dr. Sbitany is. I will always be grateful to him!! I also always appreciated his kind bedside manner, and willingness to listen.

Dr. Sbitany treated me for Breast Reconstruction in his NYC office. I was a challenging case, and he was wonderful, both in treating me, and my surgical outcome. Other surgeons told me reconstruction was not possible, given my treatment history and radiation, and Dr. Sbitany was able to successfully offer me DIEP flaps, and I look so good. Will always be grateful.

Met Dr. Sbitany for breast reconstruction after mastectomy, at Mount Sinai NYC. He offers all the options for breast reconstruction, including microsurgery, so can give good unbiased advice. Performed my operation, and I am thrilled with my outcome. He is a talented surgeon.
