Changed my life… Amazing work!
After going back and forth for years about getting my breasts done, I spent another year deciding which doctor to choose. Dr. Sarkos was the absolute best choice. He and his staff are extremely professional and comforting. I personally had very little down time and my results were far beyond my expectations. The attention to detail and the aftercare process was also great. Highly recommended from beginning to end!!!

Excellent, skilled doctor w/ great bedside manner!
Dr. Sarkos was my surgeon in 2015 & did an incredible job! So much so, that although I moved to Cleveland in 2019, when I decided to have another procedure done 7 years later, I immediately knew that the only and best doctor for me was Dr. Peter Sarkos. I had the option to chose a doctor in Cleveland but because of his excellent work, and caring manner the hour plus drive didn't matter! I highly recommend Dr. Sarkos and his staff for any of your dermatologic and cosmetic needs!

Great experience
I saw Dr Sarkos for a breast augmentation and overall I am very pleased with my results and also with the whole experience! He is a great surgeon, very professional and takes his time to answer all of my questions about the preoperative phase, and described to me what to expect during my immediate post op and recovery phases. Dr Sarkos listened to me and understood my goals and helped me achieve the look I wanted. The office staff is also very supportive and professional- I would highly recommend Dr Sarkos. He is, experienced, professional, and truly cares for his patients.

Great Doctor
So recently I decided to have breast reduction surgery. I found Dr Sarkos. Had a consultation which was very informative. He spent an hour with me going over the procedure and made me feel very comfortable. I knew he was the surgeon I would want to do my procedure. Surgery day he reassured me that all would be fine. Had the surgery and here I am 2 months later and feeling good about myself again. He did an excellent job and I would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone. Don’t let me forget his staff. They were just as wonderful. If you are thinking about any kind of cosmetic surgery he is your Dr.

Breast Reduction
I highly recommend Dr. Sarkos. He and his team are so friendly, caring, and very knowledgeable. I began my journey into getting a breast reduction when I was 17. I had a consultation with another surgeon that was closer to me but I just didn’t feel like he was the right doctor for me, so I put the process on hold for a few years. I finally had enough of having large breasts and I found Dr. Sarkos when I was searching for plastic surgeons within a close radius and decided to just make an appointment. I immediately knew he was the right fit for me! As a 22 year old, getting a surgery like this was scary, but his team made me feel comfortable. Scarring was never a concern of mine, but the incisions were placed where they are barely seen which is great. I am 6 weeks post-op now and I am VERY pleased with my results. In my opinion, he is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone considering any type of cosmetic/plastic surgery.

For many years I considered a lower blepharoplasty. In fact, I talked with Dr. Sarkos about the procedure on more than one occasion. However, undergoing an elective procedure on my face was not an easy decision to make. Dr. Sarkos had perfectly repaired my lip after I’d had a basal cell cancer and I was confident that he would perform an excellent job. I am so pleased with the results!! I no longer look tired and sad when I am well rested and happy! Thank you so much Dr. Sarkos! You are the best and such a treasure here in Ohio!!

After months of researching and a few consultations with different surgeons, I finally found and met with Dr. Sarkos and his staff. Dr. Sarkos was very thorough, answered every question I had and made me feel at ease and comfortable. The girls in his office are super nice and helpful as well! I decided to schedule the breast augmentation surgery I had been desiring for numerous years with his team. Everything went very smooth and I am super happy with my results! I couldn't have picked a better doctor! I recommend Dr. Sarkos and his staff to everyone planning on surgery. You will not be disappointed!

It was always lack of Courage, and fear of Surgery that held me back from a Bi Lateral Breast Reduction. From the Initial consult with Dr.Sarkos thru the procedure and on to Recovery this has been the most amazing experience of my Life. Dr.Sarkos and his Wonderful?? Staff, held my hand when the panic attacks came up...They guided me thru the surgical procedure with care, and reassuring confidence! My entire body has improved in so many ways, ?? I am healing really well and am headed to a post op visit today! My body is standing taller, the neck, shoulder and back tension from being “ top heavy” have nearly 100% gone. It brings tears to my eyes because I am feeling like a totally new , and much happier person. I am so grateful and HAPPY... ( which the girls would keep telling me) ... for having made this choice for myself...and having the most caring professional “ Dream Team” you could ever imagine. With Utmost Gratitude.., ??

At age 51 I decided to finally do something about my stretched out, bulging, abdominal area that was covered in stretch marks. Dr. Sarkos performed my tummy tuck with liposuction. The first time that I saw my stomach after surgery I was AMAZED!! I could not believe that I was looking at my own body. It was better than I could ever have imagined, life changing in fact. My scar is very low and won’t stop me from wearing anything that I want. Dr. Sarkos and his staff have been so supportive and kind. They made me feel like I was their number one priority patient. They keep such a close eye on you after surgery and during the recovery process. I have such confidence in him as my surgeon and I plan on having other procedures done by him in the future. My only regret is that I did not find him and do this sooner. Today is my 52 birthday and I’m buying myself a BIKINI!! Thank you, Dr. Sarkos!!

LOOK NO FURTHER...He is truly amazing! I0 years ago I selected Dr. Sarkos for my surgery(breast) and never thought twice about utilizing him AGAIN in May 2021 for my surgery. I've referred several friends and family to his office and will continue to do so in the future. Plenty of doctors can achieve great results, but not as many look at it from a patient-centered viewpoint and really take the time to get to know their patients. He understands the importance of the patient, not just the procedure, and he puts that at the forefront of his practice! High five to his staff! Hillary & Heather are professional, courteous, knowledgeable and personable. The rapport built through the communication and office visits only helped to build trust and confidence in choosing his practice. Words cannot express how appreciative I am for a speedy recovery (both times), amazing results and regaining my self-confidence. Thank you!

I (36-year-old female) recently had liposuction performed on my abdomen and flanks area by Dr. Sarkos. I am only nine days post-op and already ecstatic about my results. I cannot wait to see the end result in ~ six months. The entire process was seamless; Dr. Sarkos is communicative and committed to achieving optimal results while prioritizing patient safety. For those individuals seeking liposuction, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of having this procedure performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Do your due diligence; this procedure needs to take place in a sterile environment, i.e. a surgery center (not in-office), and requires proper follow-up care. Take advantage of having a highly-trained plastic surgeon in your area! Additionally, I would like to echo the other reviewers' sentiments. The staff is professional and incredibly welcoming - shoutout to Heather for helping me feel comfortable and at ease. And Dr. Sarkos is the most unassuming surgeon I have ever met

I got a breast augmentation on April 30th with Dr. Sarkos, I am a month post op and loving my results. Not only are they exactly what I wanted and asked for they look amazing. He is such a skilled dr. Very natural looking with minimal to no scarring. He is very knowledgeable and even helped me decide what would be the best fit for my frame. I highly recommend him ladies for any surgical needs.
