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.

After consulting with many other surgeons/ offices I was beyond satisfied just with my consult alone. I get so many compliments about people not even knowing I’ve had a breast augmentation or how natural looking they look! 10/10 recommend

Dr. Vanik is awesome! I got into see him on short notice (within 1-1/2 hour from when my surgeon notified him of my needs), and spent an hour with my husband and I on his plan for immediate breast reconstruction after a nipple sparing mastectomy. Always attentive and professional!! Thanks Dr. Vanik for all your hard work!!

I came in to see Dr. Vanik for a procedure on my face. I was real nervous at first because who wouldn't be nervous about getting cut . Dr. Vanik spoke with me before and explained what he was going to do and such (now mind you I was still a little scared). He then proceeded to start the procedure or at least he told me he did because let me tell you I didn't feel anything. Dr. Vanik was extremely gentle and caring. I would recommend him 10 times over to anyone looking for a great doctor!!!!!

I am 65 and had a panniculectomy performed by Dr. Vanik. Very professional and spends time with you explaining everything so you understand the procedure he is going to do on you. I was very anxious about the surgery and he made me feel very comfortable having it done. His office wait is less than 5 minutes and his office team is very friendly and helpful. I could not be any happier with another Dr. or his office help. If you are thinking of having plastic surgery done; go to Dr. Vanik!!!!!
