Reviews of Adam R. Kolker, M.D., FACS (Plastic Surgery)

Daniella Paulson

I have one word to describe Dr. Adam Kolker and his staff: amazing. I had been researching breast augmentation for years, and had even met with several doctors but never felt confident to go through with it - until I met with Dr. Kolker. I must say that before my consultation I was really impressed by Dr. Kolker's credentials and before and after pictures, but as soon as I got to the office, I was blown away by the warmth of the staff and the calming atmosphere. When I met Dr. Kolker, he was charming and thorough, and incredibly informative and honest. I knew immediately that this was where I was going to have my procedure. I was always an A cup and hoped for a C cup, but did not want to look " implanty". My results are so awesome!! I had silicone implants and they look so incredibly natural. I just love them. The surgery and recovery was so much easier than I expected. Almost 1 year later, I feel like a new woman. I was inspired to write this because I met a friend recently who confided that she had her breasts done (she looks amazing too), and that she had the best surgeon... and as I began to insist that mine was the best, it turns out that both of us had Dr. Kolker! He is an artist, a professional and a true gentleman. The girls in the office are incredible too. The entire experience was so easy, and my results are amazing. Cannot thank him enough!

So I went to Dr. Kolkers office for a consultation. My girl friends are regulars, going to him for whatever they need. Decided to finally try it out. Before I went, each and every one of them told me I would love Dr. Kolker, but absolutely hate his staff. And they were totally right. They are completely rude, snobbish and talk about you RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!! HELLO, I HAVE EARS!!! I AM NOT DEAF!! They don't even try to hide it! They absolutely made me feel uncomfortable from the moment I walked in there. Mind you, I am not a person who gets uncomfortable easily. But it's definitely hard to ignore when you hear the comments! Dr Kolker please do yourself a favor and hire a new staff! You are too good for that girlish, immature BS! I did not book a follow up. My friends deal with it because they love Dr .Kolker. His work is amazing. His staff? Not so much. (this came from 7 of my friends, feeling the same exact way!!!) Highly disappointed.

I work at Pediatric Associates of NYC. Dr. Kolker and his staff go out of their way to accommodate our patients during emergencies. Wonderful office and staff!

BEST EXPERIENCE AND RESULTS!!! WOW!!! I recently had surgeries done with Dr. Kolker. From the moment I met Dr. Kolker and his staff, they made me feel safe and comfortable. They are sincere and genuine from start to finish. Dr. Kolker is an incredible surgeon. A true master in his profession. The results of the surgeries were BETTER than I expected or could ever hope for. I've never received as many compliments as I have now, and I am still healing, as it's only been a week. I highly recommend Dr. Kolker and his practice to everyone. I would go back in a heartbeat if I needed anything else done. Shea the nurse, was simply wonderful. Empathetic , sweet, professional and thorough. She clearly explained to me everything before and after. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST EXPERIENCE AND RESULTS!!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such great care for me. YOU GUYS ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

The best bedside manner. Fantastic staff. Impeccable work! The greatest plastic surgeon a 6 year old can have on call.

I cannot find the words to express how glad I am that I selected Dr. Kolker to perform my breast augmentation last year. I chose him because in photos his worked appeared infinitely more natural than that of other surgeons, and I was not disappointed. It's clear that he has an impeccable sense of balance and proportion. I'm an artist myself, and on the day of the surgery when I recognized a familiar look of artistic focus on his face as he drew the guide lines, I knew I had nothing to worry about. On one hand, I want to say that I continue to be absolutely thrilled with my results, but on the other hand, they are so very good that I often forget I wasn't born this way; I think this is the best compliment I can give. In addition to being a gifted surgeon, Dr. Kolker is a warm and genuine person and is supported by an equally lovely and proficient staff.

Amazing surgeon ! I would highly recommend if you are looking for natural and beautiful results. I had breast augmentation with Doctor Kolker and I am very pleased with the outcome .

Stephanie Wieczorek

Dr. Kolker and staff have been nothing but phenomenal in my experience. Since the very start any nerves or trepidation were immediately soothed by the wonderful bedside manners. Everyone is very informative and answered all of my questions without missing a beat. I don't regret this decision in going with my first choice. Anyone considering having a procedure done, look no further. Dr. Kolker is the man with a gift, made apparent by the team he has in his office. Thank you for changing my outlook in life and making me a more confident person.

Cannot express what an amazing doctor Dr. Kolker is !!!!!!! Changed my life forever with breast augmentation and fat transfer. I had about 10 consults with “top doctors” throughout New York City until I met Dr. Kolker. After my consult, I knew he was going to be my doctor. He is warm, so knowledgeable and looks at you from so many angles to achieve the best results. He answered all my questions and enlightened me on things I had no clue about. I am so so so so so happy with my results. !!!!! If I could post a pic here I would but I can’t (haha) i am happily the size I wanted to be as well ☺️

The staff is polite but extraordinarily unhelpful. I finally got an appointment and waited 4 months to only be cancelled on weeks before. Then when I attempt to make another appointment the staff isn't interested in helping me at all. If you have a job with normal hours good luck getting in to see him. Very disappointing. Snobby. I don't mind paying up for good results but you actually have to have results first.

My experience was v good! I live in S FL and my son in NY needed a recommendation for a mole on his face. I don't know Dr. Kolker or his staff but when I called they gave me a wonderful recommendation w/o any attitude at all!

I had a consultation with Dr. Kolker for a breast reduction. The exam was very thorough but the one thing thing that I didn't feel 100% about was he told me that I was bordering being too overweight to do the surgery, and that I should drop my BMI at least 4 points before the surgery (15-20 pounds). BMI wasn't an insurance thing- he doesn't take insurance and while research still uses BMI, it is a simplistic and in my mind a dangerous measurement tool, as it doesn't account at all for muscle mass or body type, just height and weight. Seeing that I'm a size 8 and visibly just slightly chunky I didn't think this was justified. I have never been a skinny girl without starving myself, no matter how hard I've tried. Luckily, Dr. Kolker and I had an extremely thorough and empathetic follow up talk about how this was upsetting to me and he really heard me out and gave me a refund on my consultation. I really appreciated him going the extra mile to do so. It is not his fault that research is based on BMI, and I hope soon research and surgeons will find a better measurement tool to judge if an individual is safely eligible for surgery.

Dr Kolcker goes above and beyond to help his patients and he does fabulous work! He is a tremendous doctor.

If I could give this physician and his practice 20 stars, I would. I actually left his office in tears- because I was so touched by his kindness, honesty and integrity. In my 8 years in Manhattan, I have been repeatedly shocked by how money hungry everyone is here- even doctors and psychologists, whom I always thought would be more empathy driven. Meeting Dr. Kolker gave me hope that good people still exist. Long story short, I went in convinced I looked grossly unsymmetrical and fat, and was ready and willing to spend a lot of money for lipo. He very honestly assessed that I didn't look as bad as I thought, and talked to me about diet and exercise. And then, after spending a long time talking to me, he didn't even accept his consultation fee! So he basically made no money off me after spending a long time talking to me. I would wholeheartedly recommend this doctor to anyone and everyone who needs a plastic surgeon. His reputation as a skilled surgeon is already well established.I learned about him from Allure magazine and then spent a long time researching him. I do think if you are a good surgical candidate, you will be pleased with your results. But on top of that, you will have the experience of dealing with an amazing human being, and equally charming and amazing staff.

Dr. Kolker and his staff are absolutely wonderful. I felt welcomed from the first consultation to the very end of post care. I am so happy with the beautiful and natural breast augmentation, Dr. Kolker is an absolute artist! He knew what he was doing and the outcome is better than I could even envision.

Dr. Kolker and his team literally changed my life when going through my breast reduction procedure. I went from an H to about a C due to severe back pain and other complications. Everyone in this office is extremely helpful and was always available to answer all of my questions before and after surgery. I had paperwork that I needed to handle and during every step of the way I was assisted with everything that I needed. Dr Kolker not only answered all of my questions about my breast reduction but he made me feel extremely comfortable and was honest through every step of the way. He genuinely cares about his patients and his team does too. When looking at my before and after pictures I am in shock and am so grateful because Dr. Kolkers work is amazing. Everything is perfectly proportioned and lifted. It’s amazing to see how a doctor can be gifted with such talent. He truly changed my life and if I could give him and his team a million stars I would. He is truly an amazing doctor and his office is clean and organized which I loved.

Dr. Kolker and his Team (shoutout to Shea) are absolutely AMAZING! I have felt nothing but welcome in his office. The natural appearance that Dr. Kolker is able to create for his patients is beyond words... His work has changed my life in a positive way and I am so thankful that I chose him as my plastic surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr. Kolker to anyone who is looking to have any form of reconstructive plastic surgery. You won't be disappointed!

Jayne Phalen

Dr. Kolker is a superb plastic surgeon. He is truly an expert in his field and is able to articulate how he will accomplish the goals you intend to accomplish no matter what surgery you are having. Not only is he knowledgeable about his practice but he also shows compassion and kindness when explaining the surgical process. The staff at his office are amazing as well , they are kind, considerate, well-organized and basically fantastic. Dr. Kolker is the best-if I could give him 6 stars I would.

Angela Brennan

Nearly 3 years after my breast augmentation and lift I am STILL happy with the natural, perky results Dr. Kolker was able to achieve. The friendly and informative staff are simply incredible. I honestly didn't even go on any other consultations... once I met Dr. Kolker I knew he was the doctor for me, even after hearing that a lift would be necessary to give me the results I desired. Totally worth it. I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for natural looking breast augmentation, easy recovery and qualified, friendly staff.

I first walked into Dr. Kolker’s office just over 1 year ago after being diagnosed with a BRCA2 mutation to discuss the possibility of having a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy. As a 28 year old woman this was the biggest decision that I had ever been faced with and to say the least, I was overwhelmed with what lay ahead. When I first walked into Dr. Kolker’s office I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and was immediately calmed by the serenity and beauty of the office environment. I did not wait long before being taken back into a room and was quickly greeted by Dr. Kolker and his nurse. Dr. Kolker immediately made me feel at ease by taking the time to answer each and every one of my questions. I did not feel rushed through the appointment AT ALL. Suffice it to say, I chose to move forward with the procedure and chose Dr. Kolker as my plastic surgeon. Over the past year both Dr. Kolker and his entire team have EXCEEDED my expectations on every level imaginable. Everyone in his office from the receptionist to the nurses to his coordinator, Jillian, has been professional, flexible and extremely supportive. Dr. Kolker was available and willing to answer questions at any time of the day (or night)! I have never in my life met a doctor that is so reachable. In regards to my results, I am thrilled – he is truly an artist. Dr. Kolker has changed my life forever and words cannot describe how grateful I am to have found and chose him as my surgeon. I would recommend Dr. Kolker to anyone who is considering either breast reconstruction or any other surgery. In my eyes, he is an absolute saint!

Having recently undergone surgery, for the first time at 19 years old, I experienced first hand that for Dr. Kolker treating the patient also means taking care of the patient. From my first appointment when I received his consultation and advice, until the day of my procedure, Dr. Kolker supported me and took care of me every step of the way! Under his care and profession, I felt as though my needs and concerns were truly listened to and my hopes were achieved. Since the procedure and now in the check-up phase, it is wonderful to return to his office, where I am greeted with the same excitement and consideration I was welcomed with from day 1. Not only was this journey unforgettable, but now the results... are amazing and beautiful!!!

Dr. Kolker’s skill as a surgeon is matched by his kindness and warmth. My first appointment was a few years ago. I recall how Dr. Kolker spent so much time with me as if he had all the time in the world for me. It is a great feeling having the utmost trust and confidence in Dr. Kolker. In fact, when I see new patients filling out forms in the waiting room I am tempted to tell them how lucky they are! My interaction with the nursing and front office staff has always been outstanding. The team is responsive, patient and kind - very much in the spirit of Dr. Kolker’s personality. I am always impressed how smoothly everything runs and how proactive the staff is. I bless the day I met Dr. Kolker and his amazing staff!

I have been a patient of Dr. Kolker's for almost 9 years and all I can say is that he is quite simply the best! He is a perfectionist and made me feel 100% comfortable immediately. Since my surgery was non-elective and I was dealing with a scary diagnosis, finding a brilliant plastic surgeon as well as a kind and caring doctor was very important to me. I also have found his office staff to be very helpful and accommodating. I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kolker and his staff other than I would HIGHLY recommend him to my closest family and dearest friends!

Valentina Villani Conti

My name is Valentina, I come from Italy and I was operated on a breast augmentation by Dr. Kolker on 10/16/18. I have faced a long journey for this intervention, traveling from italy to nyc but the final result has been more than satisfactory infact incredible. Dr. Kolker is a real professional and above all he proved to be very human. He explained everything to me in a very clear and gentle way taking into consideration my needs, carefully evaluating my physical structure trying to respect it with a proper breast size. In fact, my advice is to rely completely on him because he really knows what is best for your body. Furthermore all the staff was so welcoming and helpful that I felt like I was at home. there was always someone ready to help me. I have enjoyed the professionalism of the surgeon and the availability of all staff, before, during and after the operation. To every woman who tries to make a change in her life, improving some aspect of her body that does not make her feel good about herself, I highly recommend to rely on Doctor Kolker and his staff. He changed my life and couldn't have had a better experience. All my love to everyone. Thank you!

As I am approaching the one year anniversary of my breast augmentation, I could not be happier with the results! Dr. Kolker and his staff were so helpful and supportive in helping me making my decision, and I can not thank them enough. I was always self conscious about my breast size, I never felt like they fit my body type. After my surgery, I feel great about the way my body looks and feels. As an avid runner and work out enthusiast I was worried about my new look and what it would fee like to work with bigger breasts. I am happy to report that the girls have not effected me in any negative way. Through out the entire process Dr. Kolker and his staff were always available to answer any of my questions, and help me in any way I needed. I always felt comfortable in the office. I am so happy with my decision and want everyone at Dr. Kolker's practice to know how much I appreciate them! You guys are the best!

Dr. Adam Kolker not only met my expectations, he exceeded them! I am so thankful that I was referred to him and am so thrilled with my breast augmentation results! I have always been uncomfortable with my body type, tall with virtually no breasts! Looking back, I’ve always toyed with the idea of one day having a breast augmentation, and so I decided to just do it. I had met 3 surgeons before meeting Dr. Kolker and when I met him I knew instantly that he would be my doctor. He was so kind and informative, and kept reiterating that the goal was to look natural. That was music to my ears as that was my greatest concern. I booked my surgery on the spot and had never been so confident and excited about a decision! The day of surgery was actually wonderful. The office staff is beyond amazing, and they made me so excited about the process. Dr. Kolker was calming and reassuring and I felt so comfortable in his presence. My outcome is just incredible! I look more natural now than I did before my surgery. I feel like I hit the jackpot with my surgeon. My body is so much more in proportion now and I just absolutely love my breasts. Thank you Dr. Kolker and everyone one at the office for making my breast augmentation the best thing I have ever done for me. I will always be thankful to all of you!
