Reviews of Neil Fine, MD, FACS (Plastic Surgery)

Jacqueline Moon

Dr. Fine is amazing. I was originally sent to another plastic surgeon after my lumpectomy and it turned out horrible. Dr. Fine fixed the issues and made me feel so much better about myself. I cannot say enough about this lovely, caring doctor.

I could write a novel about my incredible experience with Dr. Neil Fine and his staff. Overall, I've never felt more cared for as a patient. Unfortunately, I've had my fair share of doctors. But nobody made me feel more comfortable, informed, or hopeful than Dr. Fine. I became his patient due to the fact that I wanted reconstruction after a double mastectomy. His skill puts him in the same category as the best of the best. And that also goes for his team-- that's exactly what they are... a team. My final results have surpassed my greatest expectations. Sounds cheesy but owe so much to Dr. Fine. From the time I was told I had breast cancer to the final stage of my reconstruction, I psychologically struggled more than I thought I would. But thanks to his patience with me and his drive to see me happy with what I see when I look in the mirror, I no longer feel the ware and tear of my surgeries. I no longer see scars when I look at myself; it's one of the best feelings in the world. And I owe that to Dr. Neil Fine. Love you, Dr. Fine!

I'm unable to fully articulate the exact words needed to express my deepest gratitude after working with Dr. Neil Fine and his Staff. Dr. Fine and his staff are sincere, kind and welcoming; I couldn't be more pleased with NSPS. From the time that I had my initial consultation to the time they gave their final "good bye", I was welcomed with open arms and the warmest smiles. The staff and Dr. Fine makes you feel like you are a member of their family, which you almost seemingly become based on the amount of time they spend with you during every visit, quickly return telephone calls and provide a genuine empathy for you during your treatment process. I am a breast cancer survivor and began my journey with NSPS. I was happy with my pre-cancer breasts and am even more happy with my "new" breasts after Dr. Fine worked his magic. I trusted Neil Fine that he would make them look as natural as possible and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. I look BETTER then when I first walked in their doors and feel better! For women that have lost a "part" of themselves - I can't stress how much this means to me. While some might think the reconstruction process was simply cosmetic, for Cancer survivors, we know that it is much more emotional than that. Jeff, the tattoo artist, put the icing on the cake or can I say the "cherry on top", with my nipple tattoo. I can't tell which nipple of mine is the one that was sparred or which is the "fake one"; neither can my husband. If you are going through cancer and need a reconstruction process, stop your search now and consult with Dr. Neil Fine and his Staff. I promise you there will be no disappointment and you will come out of your journey truly thankful for the decision you made. I am truly blessed to have NSPS in my life and can't thank them enough for what they have done for me.

Dr. Neil Fine performed my breast reduction surgery on 12/17/18. I am a very medically complex patient, and from the very start everyone in Dr. Fine's office made every effort to coordinate with my various specialists to form the very best surgical plan for me. They did an excellent job, also, of cooperating and coordinating with my insurance company to make my whole experience as minimally stressful as possible. I was purssuing this surgery strictly for reasons of pain control and to reduce weight/stress on my ribcage, I was honestly totally unconcerned about the cosmetic aspects. I had done a lot of research, and from what I had seen, post reduction breasts were not typically lovely, and I was perfectly okay with that. So I got the pleasant surprise of my life when the bandages finally came off, and I discovered what a fantastic aesthetic result Dr. Fine had given me! I feel like I regressed in age 25 years in 3 hours. My healing and recovery have been largely smooth, and when I did have a concern, they brought me in to see the doctor the very next day. What was really helpful was Dr. Fine showing me several pictures to illustrate exactly what he meant, giving me a clear frame of reference to what is "normal". I just could not be happier with my overall experience, and best of all I have already noticed dramatic improvement in my posture, and my neck and back pain. Hopefully time will show if it benefits my ribs the way we hope, but Dr. Fine was also very careful to manage my expectations. He told me clearly and upfront that he could not forecast that outcome, mine is a very rare condition and he had not done this surgery for that specific reason before, so he would not promise results he was not certain about. I really deeply appreciate the way he communicated with me throughout the entire process, too asdist me in making the very best, fully informed decisions possible. I just can not reccomend Dr. Fine, and his wonderful staff, highly enough.

I underwent a prophylactic double mastectomy in November 2015 when I was 27. Dr. Fine did the second half of the initial surgery and the reconstructive surgery. I could not be happier with the outcome and had a great experience (all things considered). Dr. Fine, Michelle, and the office staff were incredibly responsive (via text, email, and phone) and kind throughout the process and always made me feel comfortable. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Dr. Fine as a fantastic surgeon for breast reconstruction.

Cathy Lecompte

I was a model for 15 years before I was struck with breast cancer... I had my first mastectomy in the suburbs at a local hospital with less than good results. I was referred to him by a Dr friend of mine... He walked into the examining room, took one look at me and said, " Cathy we can fix this NO problem." Having been in the medical field for 30 years his confidence put immediately at total ease and the bond of trust was instantly formed.. He over the last two years, even through another mastectomy has been a rock that I could depend on for the TRUTH... I've never waivered in my faith and trust in him... From bilateral perfect reconstructions, to his incredible staff and tattoo artist... They gave me back my feminism... I could look in the mirror and once again feel proud of my reflection.. If you would like to talk to me about Dr. Fine and his amazing office staff, Barbra knows how to contact me... Never settle for less than perfection!!'

I’ve been seeing Dr. Fine for almost 12 years. I wouldn’t go & see anyone else. I highly recommend him. The staff is wonderful as well, they make you feel welcome every time. Thank you for all the support.

Mallory Dummer

Dr Fine is absolutely amazing, as well as his whole team and staff. I have been going to him since I was 16 years old. The care, compassion, and dedication he has towards his patients is so rewarding. I could never thank him and his team enough for all have done for me.

I wish there was an option to give more than five stars because it doesn’t feel like it’s enough. Dr. Fine, Michelle, Karen, Barb and the ENTIRE NSPS team deserve a 10-star, 5 Diamond, AAA+ and all other things amazing rating. And while the circumstances that brought me to the NSPS office were far from ideal, I am overjoyed to write this review because of my experience and I hope it helps others. I completed my last surgery at the end of October and have spent a lot of time thinking about how to accurately articulate just how outstanding Dr. Fine and the NSPS team is – (I don’t think enough superlatives exist to do this, but I will try). At 39 years old, and zero history of breast cancer, I was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer in 2017. To say it was devastating, unimaginable news, is an understatement. I was ready to do whatever my oncologist surgeon recommended -- he’s the expert. But when you’re actually told the best course of action is a bilateral mastectomy, it is overwhelming. That’s when I was given the names of a few plastic surgeons to research and pick one to be on ‘my team.’ I know my guardian angel, or someone from above, was looking out for me big time when they guided me to Dr. Fine and NSPS. Simply put, not only is Dr. Fine a surgical maestro, he is also a caring, kind, understanding and empathetic human. I underwent a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction plus a subsequent three surgeries, (due to complications from chemo). I couldn’t be happier with the results. Physically, I look better than I did before the surgeries. But, my experience with Dr. Fine was far more than just the masterful work of one of the nation’s top (if not the top) plastic surgeons. It was a long process – and there were bumps along the way with chemo. I spent a lot of time at the NSPS office. And sent a lot of texts. Michelle, Dr. Fine’s Physician’s Assistant, was with me every step – she’s been with Dr. Fine for a number of years and is the definition of top-notch. She patiently answered all of my questions (as ridiculous as they might be), replied to all of my texts and was someone I could count on to be there. Her passion for her work is palpable. And her genuine care for her patients unmatched. Then there’s Karen. She runs the office and is Dr. Fine’s wife. Every time I would see her, I would be greeted with a great big hug and words of encouragement. Her energy and positivity could best be described as rays of sunshine. Just being in her presence, I felt comforted and taken care of – I just felt better. I would be remiss not to mention Barb and the incredible front desk staff. Every time I walked into their office, I was welcomed like a beloved family member. I don’t think they really understand how much that means to someone going through what I did. It is life-changing to receive such incredible care. For as unbelievably awful as it is to receive a cancer diagnosis, it is just as unbelievably amazing to have people like Dr. Fine, Michelle, Karen, Barb + team there to get you through it. I do believe Dr. Fine, Michelle, Karen, Barb and the entire staff are angels masquerading as people. I'll never forget a nurse telling me after I was diagnosed that I was living in 'extraordinary times.' She was right. The care I received from Dr. Fine, Michelle, Karen and the entire NSPS team was extraordinary. I’m so very blessed they were with me during the scariest time of my life (so far). And I thank my lucky stars for them every day.

Dr Fine's office has been extremely helpful to me over the last five years. They have been with me through a double mastectomy, expanders, implants, and breast reconstruction. During this time, they have given me great information on my options up front and have always thoroughly answered my many questions. They are a warm, caring office that stops at nothing for the health of their patients. One time, I was on vacation and needed to speak to them and they worked with the time difference without complaint. Dr. Fine is fantastic surgeon, Michelle Grim is an amazing PA, and Barb keeps the office running like clockwork. I am very thankful to have this team of professionals working with me.

Songya Pang

Dr. Neil Fine & his team (Michelle Grim) are an outstanding breast reconstruction team following breast cancer surgery at NSPS. They are skilled & caring medical professionals based on my own personal experience with excellent outcome. With much thanks to Dr. Fine & his team at NSPS.

Debra Marcus

Dr Fine, his PA’s, Michelle and Lexie, and his entire office staff are amazing. It’s rare these days that you find a doctors office like this. From the beginning of my journey there, which was unexpectedly longer and more arduous than anticipated, everyone was so nice and so comforting; Dr. Fine and his incredibly kind and wonderful PA’s, always made sure I understood what was going on and what came next and when it came time for surgery my results exceeded my expectations and are better than I could have ever hoped for thanks to Dr. Fine’s exceptional skill. I will be eternally grateful.
