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.

If you're looking for the best, keep looking.
I went in for a breast reduction to help with severe back pain. I came out too embarrassed to take my top off in front of my husband. I also need a breast pad in one bra cup to look even in clothing. That should tell you of his work. I'm afraid to have reconstructive surgery. Don't go to this man.

Stay Away
Two of my family members have been patients of Dr. Babycos. Both instances have been terrible experiences requiring multiple unplanned surgeries. One of these women has had seven reconstruction surgeries over the last three years and continues to have problems. I am a breast cancer survivor as well and having had reconstruction myself, and I can say from experience that this doctor has zero bedside manners, no professionalism, and apparently little competency. Even if you can look past bedside manners for care, I recommend avoiding becoming his patient. Your body will be thankful you made this choice.

Absolutely Professional
Dr. Babycos was highly recommended by my primary physician after a 100+ pound weight loss. I do need skin removal surgery—and wished to discuss a fleur de lis panniculectomy, which is a bit more involved than just the pannus removal. Dr Babycos quite honestly & very thoroughly (and kindly, I might add) explained what is necessary to move forward with a fleur de lis panniculectomy. I was grateful for the in depth information he gave me. I will heed his advice to me and hope to have surgery in January.

He is highly recommended I just got my second face lift...14 years apart and his work is excellent. If you want the best, Dr Babycos is it. His patience, professionalism and talent is unsurpassed. Truly the highest recommended given by me for you.

My visit with Dr. Babycos was excellent. He has a great bedside manner and made me feel very at ease. He was very informative and explained his part on the team very well. These days it is very rare to find a physician that will ask for input from their patients. But since February each physician that I have met concerning my care have been excellent. Q&A was great. Dr. Babycos gets all the stars.

Horrible experience. Basal cell cancer on my lip - he was suppose to close wound after surgeon removed it. On my consult, he laughed at me when I asked how will he close wound with no scar. Even said I better hope scar doesn't have to cross my lip line. He walked out of the room saying he had 5 or 6 scars on his face (which none were visible) and left me standing there in shock. Maybe he needs to leave some of his humor at home. I am finding another plastic surgeon of course!

Went in for a breast reduction consultation due to back pain. He explained that the procedure likely wouldn’t help my pain, which was good to know. We discussed some other options that were helpful. He then went on to tell me, unasked, that a breast lift would make me look better. I went in for pain, not to get this guys opinion on how my naked body looks! I was very, very uncomfortable and upset upon leaving. Just terrible bedside manner. Very disappointed and super creeped out!

Had breast surgery by Dr. Babycos last year. Everything went very smoothly in both surgery & recovery. The results were even better than I expected! Dr. Babycos is very competent, experienced & professional. I highly recommend him.
