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.

Infection and uneven results
My experience was absolutely horrific, I ended up at the hospital every day needing intravenous antibiotics. I had two doctors in this office work on me. After surgery, in the hospital, I asked for antibiotics to prevent infection & the doctor refused. Two weeks later I was sick with a high temp, went in & doc finally gave me antibiotics. When I came back two weeks later I stated that I still did not feel well, felt infection was still there & maybe needed a stronger antibiotic. He would not give me another antibiotics. As a result, I woke up and my incision had burst open and I was drenched in fluids & infection. I was then referred over to infectious disease, where the doctor there was very upset that the doctors in this practice had not given me preventative antibiotics & had let this infection get so advanced. I was sent to the hospital for daily intravenous antibiotics. This was 4 yrs ago, I still have pulling pain, terrible scarring, & lopsided results.

We are so pleased with my daughter's procedure. The entire staff from start to finish was completely professional. We never waited more than 5 mins for any appointments. My daughter had no bruising or any issues. We very much appreciated having everything in one place including the outpatient facility so that we didn't have to go to the hospital during Covid. The facilities were VERY clean and all proper protocols were followed. I would highly recommend Dr. Passaretti!

There are no words for how amazing Dr. Passaretti and his medical and office staff are! I became a patient three years ago for reconstruction following a mastectomy, and several surgeries that followed. His knowledge, humor, care and compassion throughout this time has been extraordinary. I can't imagine going through this process with another surgeon and I am beyond grateful.

Dr. Passaretti is an awesome doctor. He is very skilled, knowledgeable and professional and an all-around nice person. He and his staff do an amazing job and are always very patient and ready to answer any questions. I would definitely recommend Dr. Passarelli, he gets an A+ plus in my book!

I highly recommend Dr. Passaretti. He and his staff are excellent and take great care of their patients. I had an abdominoplasty the past year and when I had a few complications during recovery, Dr. Passaretti and the nurses were so attentive and always available to answer question or concerns that I had. My primary doctor in Stamford only recommended that I see two plastic surgeons for my procedure and Dr. Passaretti was at the top of the list.

Dr Passeretti was very professional and knowledgeable. I was in great hands between him and his staff. I would definitely go to him again for other procedures. He reduced my large breast from DD to B and they look proportional on my bodhi frame now. I feel and look so much better.

Dr. Passaretti and his staff all deserve 5 stars. I considered 4 doctors when I decided to have breast reconstruction along with a dbl mastectomy. He and his team were top notch. I could not have asked for a more professional, calm, informative, and highly skilled team to help me through a very difficult time.

Dr. Passaretti is one of the most caring, kind, and gentle doctors I have ever been to. My eyelid surgery performed in May 2017 came out beautifully with no complications. His explanations before and after the surgery were exactly what happened. No surprises. His team of office staff and nurses were so caring and efficient, I can't say enough good things about them. I will be sure to refer them to all my family and friends!

I had to have breast reconstruction surgery following bilateral mastectomies. My surgeon recommended two plastic surgeons she works closely with. I interviewed both and chose Dr Passaretti because of the way he described the procedures and provided me with thorough explainations as to each. I also went with him because of his experience in doing this procedure. I am thrilled with the outcome from state to finish (2 yrs later). He and his staff were always professional and compassionate.

Dr. Passaretti did my breast reduction. I am not happy with the results since one breast is very noticeably smaller than the other and he would not correct it. I would not recommend him.
