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.

Dr. Markowitz is remarkable!
I am the luckiest person to have known Dr. Markowitz for the last 25 years. As a person, as a friend and as a doctor. He couldn't be more professional, respectful and in a lifetime if you know him, your life is complete. I'm a professional in the motion picture business for the last 53 years. I feel very comfortable to recommend him, for not only enhancing one's self esteem, but any reconstruction surgery anyone would need in regards to an accident or a medical disfigurement. He's kind and gentle. His office is as kind and gentle. His professionalism is remarkable. There isn't anything I can't say that he has to improve. I'm grateful to know him and to respect him.

Do not go to him
Horrible result. Left me with terrible cobra neck not even 6 months out and constant swelling and pain. Left permanent plastic sutures in without even telling me about it until afterwards. Worst and costliest decision I've ever made both aesthetically and for my health. If he was a decent person he would give me my money back so I can fix it.

Dr. Markowitz is the Maestro of Face Lifts
A “maestro” is defined as a “master in the arts.” That is, a person who has merited acclaim in the field through decades of investigation into what makes a work “great”. Dr. Bernard Markowitz is a maestro in the field of plastic surgery. He has the skill needed to reclaim a more youthful look without losing the essential nature of the face. His work deals with harmonies: subtly harmonizing changes while honoring the original. He can adjust your skin to change where the light falls on your cheekbones. (I have cheekbones again!) There are no “tracks” or stitches that are visible. (I have a tauter neckline!)The skin under my eyes looks bigger. (No bags!)I’ve been told that I look better. I’m asked, “Did you change your hair?” “Did you lose weight?” No to all these questions. I just went to a maestro for my surgery. With Dr. M. surgery is an art.

I had Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty surgery in April of this year. From the consultation, to the surgery and post operative treatment, I felt at ease, informed and valued by Dr. Markowitz and his wonderful staff. The day of the surgery I was a bit anxious, but the anesthesiologist and nurse who assisted Dr. Markowitz, were first rate, and helped to make me comfortable. Not only do I love my new nose, but Dr. Markowitz also repaired a broken bone in my nose that I did not know I had. I now breathe easily, without the decades long pressure in my sinuses, and the headaches that went along with it. It was a great experience and I feel like a new person. I highly recommend Dr. Markowitz and his staff, for anyone interested in cosmetic surgery.

I scheduled my surgery immediately after my first consultation with Dr. Markowitz. During the virtual consultation, he was thoughtful, observant, patient, and a careful listener. He agreed with part of what I wanted to do, said “no” or “not yet” to a few other things and provided clear explanations for his answers. In my pre-surgical office visit, he was the same. His passion and high expectations for his work shines through. He is a perfectionist and demands the same of his team. It takes a superior leader to build an outstanding team - exactly what Dr. Markowitz has done. The team is composed of high caliber & dedicated professionals who take pride in the outcome of their work and truly care about the patient. I am delighted with the surgical outcome and I strongly recommend Dr. Markowitz. He insists on follow-up visits after surgery - I have never known a surgeon to remove stitches. His work is amazing and there is no question where I will go for future procedures!

Let me start this by saying my husband is a physician in Beverly Hills. I follow several Instagram accounts, and I can honestly say that some of the most popular social presences are not commensurate with their work. I'm 62 and was tired of looking so tired and haggard when I looked in the mirror. Makeup no longer helped cover my age up. I asked my husband for advice in finding a plastic surgeon. We both know that some of the most famous reputations have had some big mistakes, and their social presence isn't necessarily accurate. Anesthesiologists see everything during surgeries. My husband asked around, and Dr. Markowitz's name came up as being the most committed to detail with fastidious elegant work and results. He is truly an artist. If you looked for scars with a magnifying glass, you would not see mine. I'm so grateful to him. I look fresh, a little more feminine and soft. I look like I feel when I play with my grandchildren.

I have had 2 facelifts & my upper eyelids done once by Dr. Markowitz. I recommend him highly & would not trust my face with any other surgeon. The results are consistently flawless with a very natural appearance. No one will know you’ve had work done...you’ll just look many years younger & feel 100% better about what you see in the mirror. In addition to his expertise, he is kind & personable. It is my opinion that it would be a mistake to choose any other surgeon when you have the best as an option.
