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.

Absolutely the best plastic surgeon
Dr. Applebaum reconstructed my nose after extensive Mohs surgery left me with the tip of my nose gone. Now I look like I did before the surgery! I am so grateful for his skill and incredible artistry. Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but he is a very kind and caring man - he listens to questions and takes time answering them. His staff is extremely helpful and personable - my appointments are always on time and never rushed. I thank Dr. Applebaum every time I look in the mirror!

Dr. Applebaum is a master of his craft. He is so amazing at what he does that nobody can tell that anything has been done to my face, yet people always comment on how great I look! Even my family hasn't figured it out! A true gentleman and a very warm and caring doctor. His entire office staff is wonderful!

Dr. Applebaum is one of the highest quality physicians I have ever known. Both he and his staff take patient care to its highest level, with their knowledge, high standards, thoroughness, empathy and phenomenal service. I would never consider using any other plastic surgeon!

5 stars is so completely insufficient!!! I give Dr Applebaum and his entire staff 5 to the 10th power stars!! So incredibly nice, professional, and beyond exceptional at what they do. I broke my nose in a car accident and Dr Applebaum expedited seeing me. Every person I came into contact with was caring, considerate, responsive, professional, and simply pleasurable to work with. They do not strive to be the standard, they ARE the standard. I cannot recommend Dr Applebaum highly enough!

I have been a patient of Dr Applebaum’s for 6 years and I have to say, not only is he the greatest doctor ever, he cares not just about his patients cosmetically, he Is compassionate, kind and caring regarding all aspects of YOU, his patient. His office and staff is like an extended family, and the aesthetician has done an amazing job on my skin. The only doctor appointment I like going too!

Aside from being a phenomenal plastic surgeon, Dr. Applebaum has the ability to make a person feel at ease from the moment he meets you. In my opinion, he is extremely talented, and highly skilled in his field. I have total trust in Dr Applebaum. The staff that runs his office is exceptional as well. I highly recommend Dr Applebaum and have been thrilled with my results every time I have been to see him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Applebaums's for over 25 years. I would never go anywhere else because I feel he is the best plastic surgeon in the area. No one believes I'm 68, and it's all due to his ability to make me look more beautiful, but in the most natural way. Whether I was there for fillers, or my face lift, his work was perfection. He made me feel like I was his most important patient. He listens and then explains. Fabulous follow up care. This is a doctor who really cares!!

I have been wanting to do my upper eyelid surgery for 5 years. I’ve been to many doctors for consults. Dr. Applebaum was incredible. He was realistic and extremely thorough. He spent a LOT of time with me and answered all of my questions. He promised ne I’d Still look like ME! I must tell you, it was worth the wait. He is beyond talented and an incredible artist. My surgery was one week ago and I have minimal bruising and swelling and NO pain. I highly recommend Dr. Applebaum.

Dr Applebaum is the most wonderful plastic surgeon that I have seen.. His ability to make one look the best that they can look is an art form. He is such a perfectionist yet still leaves you with an expression and a youthful look without looking artificial.. Besides being a wonderful person and a caring physician, he does the BEST filler work that I have seen.. His expertise is beyond words.. it is hard to describe a plastic surgeon that will do less, just because he cares.. LOVE HIM!! A+++
