Reviews of Facial Plastic Surgicenter (Plastic Surgery)

Chandra Cherrnay

I am completely satisfied that Dr. Kontis understands my condition and how to improve it. She was kind, friendly, and very informative answering all of my questions and concerns. She called me later the same day as my visit to go over CT scan results. Her office and staff are friendly and welcoming. Her administrative support answered every question right away and was a pleasure to work with. I really found her website helpful as it is packed with information and pictures. Every photo shows real improvement. I'm happy and looking forward to my procedure. I have waited years to do this and I'm glad I did so that I could find Dr. Kontis. I am now writing post surgery. Dr. Kontis performed the surgery to correct my deviated septum, build a better internal nasal structure, increase sinus functioning and improve the appearance of my nose. At every point before, during, and after the procedure I received the utmost in care and consideration. It was a really good experience with resulting benefits I am so very pleased with. I love the look of my new nose and it works! Now I can: - run up a flight of stairs (13 steps) without gasping for air at the top, - do yoga without dizziness on certain postures, - sense the smell of food and the smell of a room as I enter, - sing with a clearer voice and improved resonance, - have no pressure or pain in my face, - have more energy, - easily clear away drainage, even on days with allergy symptoms. All these benefits and more I experience daily and it has made a huge change in my life. I thank you sincerely.

I had a “small” spot of basil cell cancer on my nose and by the time my doctor removed it all...a third of my nose had disappeared and this occurred 2 days before Thanksgiving! To add to the drama....I had 16 out of town family members coming to my house for the holiday! My doctor contacted Dr. Papel who spoke to his staff and they all agreed to stay past their scheduled early holiday closing time to repair my damage! I was blown away by their generosity!! Not knowing what to expect, and having not researched or planned for this unfortunate occurrence, I was completely at their mercy! Not only did they put me back together again!!! but I was so impressed with their practice and extremely pleased with Dr. Papel’s reconstruction of my nose...that I went ahead and scheduled additional facial enhancements including a brow lift and neck lift. I can not say enough how well I was taken care of and how grateful I was for Dr. Papel and his team!! And completely thrilled with all of the results!! I highly recommend Dr. Papel and his entire team and give them a ten out of ten score!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Papel!! I was referred to him by my ENT for reconstructive nose surgery after a failed surgery about 2 years ago and more declining nasal issues. My nose problems were causing me to feel ill on a daily basis. I was not only having limited air space but also repeated infections. From the moment I walked into his office, his staff was so kind and their office is very welcoming. This actually happened to be my 2nd time meeting Dr. Papel; as we discovered he did work on my nose about 15 years ago and even then... he was nothing short of wonderful and highly recommended for the repair. On my visit with him he took his time, clearly discussed with me in depth what could be done and what could not. He made sure there were no false expectations and provided me with the worst case scenario. With no hesitation he agreed to perform the needed procedure. Without the procedure, my ENT told me that my nasal problems would continue while worsening and eventually both nasal valves would collapse. I left his office feeling so confident in him. I had absolutely no hesitations .. no questions. I was so very grateful. Upon wakening up in recovery the very first thing I said was "I can breathe through my nose"! That was a first for me in a very long time. Dr. Papel was exact in his explanations of the procedure, the pain, the recovery, and where I am today . . .about 10 days out from surgery. 5 days after surgery I was able to sleep at night closed mouth breathing. At my followup, Dr. Papel removed the bandages, stitches and cast and I took a look and became teary . . I had to give him a hug. Dr. Papel's procedure has made such an improvement not only in my daily life but also the look of my nose. I no longer have the saddle nose . . the collapsing sort of roller coaster looking nose. I now have a still slightly swollen, but normal nose. and I CAN BREATHE!!!! I think Dr. Papel's staff and office is top notch and I would highly recommend Dr. Papel to anyone without hesitation. I am very grateful to him.

Dr. Papel removed a scar of mine and intended to make the scar look less noticeable which he did not. Once they opened the skin care division, I started going for laser treatments. A lot of the good nurses left (they were friendly and thorough) and now 1 is left that I am familiar with and they hiked up the prices for laser hair removal ( no packages now) and 1 15 minute session is now $125. Normally I get my session and book for the next one in 6-8 weeks, told them I'd call this time but will not be back and I've been going since they first opened. Also, Dr. Papel seems a little egotistical or maybe a tad racist but I'm not sure and some of the office staff seems like that as well but not all. I would say go at your own risk! When the laser and skin care division first opened it was good, but now it is pricier and not that great.

2 years and a lot of money wasted trying to remove a tattoo. They told me the machine was not making them any money. It was evident they were not turning the laser all the way up so that I had to continue coming back. Finally, 2 years later she finally said to me, "We will turn it up all the way this time." They were not honest about how many sessions I would need. Every time I bought a new pack of sessions they would tell me this should be all I need. My tattoo is STILL very much there with barely any difference. Save your money and your time and go somewhere where they actually care about their patients.

I wouldn't go any place other than Facial Plastic Surgicenter.

Came four different times for laser hair removal and laser tattoo removal. They use picosure for the laser tattoo removal which is why I went in the first place. The first time I saw a little bit of fading. The second time the machine was making a weird noise and had turned off. Then they had to turn it back on and it took “30 minutes to warm up.” I saw no fading after that session. So I went to a different laser center, received one laser treatment on my tattoo and it worked so well it is almost gone, after ONE treatment. This place was a waste of time and money. There are settings for the laser treatment and I believe they gave me low settings to make me come to receive more treatments than I needed to remove it, in turn spending more money. Would never go back here.

Dr. Kontis is one of the best there is! Her office was very neat and clean. Her staff was very warm & wonderful. And she was very polite, professional and caring. I am so grateful to have been referred to her. I've already told several friends and colleagues about Dr. Kontis. #YouGuysRock!
