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.

Could not be happier with the result!
Thank you so so much to Dr. Handal and his entire team for taking such a great care of me before, during, and after my procedure. I could not be happier with the results, and I highly recommend Dr Handal to anyone considering plastic surgery!

Dr. Handel turned a catastrophe into a very pleasant outcome. I saw Dr. Handel after another surgeon in the area botched and covered up a medical procedure. Dr. Handel stopped major bleeding and preformed reconstructive surgery to great results. Dr. Handel is the best. He is the doctor among doctors.

Dr. Handal is simply the best in Florida, if not the nation. If you’re in search for a skilled and attentive surgeon that goes above and beyond, he is the doctor to go to. Prior to my rhinoplasty, my nose was curved downwards, and I wanted my rhinoplasty to look natural but also refined, which is a highly difficult balance to achieve. I had consultations with several doctors out of Florida, including in New York, but none of them compared to Dr. Handal. From my first consultation with him, I knew he was the surgeon with the talent and skills to do my nose. His kind and professional demeanor stood out to me, making me feel safe and confident in his expertise and judgement. Now, one month after my rhinoplasty, I can happily say that I am so thrilled with the outcome! From start to finish, Dr. Handal went beyond my expectations, and there is absolutely no other person I would trust with any cosmetic procedure. He continually put me at ease with respect to achieving my desired look but w

I went to Dr. Handal years ago, and to this day I still do not have feeling on the inside of my lower lip which he had to apparently use for my nose. My ear which he took cartilage from is so deformed, and my nose is all misshaped. With his cockiness, I'm sure he thinks he did a wonderful job.

Typically don't write reviews but my experiences w/Dr Handal and staff have been uniquely exceptional; hence why I feel obligated to document this review- A few years back I was looking for a surgeon to do some eye work and had two neighbors recommend Dr Handal- Since then I've had 3 procedures done and each one exceeded my expectations- In my opinion Dr Handal is an artist and skilled at bringing the art & science together in just the right ways- I've found him, the staff, and facilit

After many consultations I decided to go with Dr. Handal and his awesome team. He corrected a botched rhinoplasty which was affecting my breathing and also performed a breast augmentation. My results are absolutely amazing. I can now breathe and looks better a than ever! And my BA I’ve had numerous compliments and minimal downtime/pain. I couldn’t be happier. He’s truly a perfectionist and takes his time until he achieves perfection which is exactly what you would want in surgeon. Also his pati

Dr. Handal is not simply an amazing plastic surgeon, he sees his patients as people under his care. As a doctor myself, I can go pretty hard on the "fix the problem, ignore the patient" approach. Recommend him? I planned a mini-facial surgery with another surgeon. Not happening. Dr. Handal is too good to let go of.

I had several procedures done by Dr. Handal approximately ten years ago. To this day, I suffer from the poor results. I went back to him five years ago to request a minor procedure that would improve my disfigured nose. He refused to do it. I had to go to another plastic surgeon and pay to get it done.

I went to Dr. Handal from another local Plastic Surgeons Breast Lift and implants, that were horrible. Not only did Dr. Handal better then correct them, I am completely out of pain! Everyone at his office was very professional and seemed truly concerned about my outcome. I wish I could show every female around my before and after so you just go to Dr. Handal and get your procedure done properly the first time!
