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.

I got dermal filler from Dr. Rapaport to give me better facial symmetry. After analyzing my fave, he gave me extremely honest feedback, which I appreciated. Then we went on to create a plan. He was gentle and was able to have interesting conversations. I felt comfortable and understood. Overall a great experience!

Excellent Experience!
I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Rapaport and his entire team! From my first consultation, Dr. Rapaport took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and provide honest recommendations based on what would work best for me. His attention to detail and commitment to natural, beautiful results made me feel completely at ease. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the staff was incredibly supportive throughout the recovery process. The outcome exceeded my expectations—I feel more confident and like the best version of myself. I highly recommend Dr. Rapaport to anyone considering a cosmetic procedure. Their skill and dedication truly set them apart!'

Great surgeon and injector!
Dr. Rapaport is an incredibly knowledgeable surgeon with a great eye for aesthetics. He points out improvements I wouldn't have thought of and I truly love my results. He always made me feel comfortable and ensures all of my concerns are addressed. When it comes to both injectable treatments like filler or more invasive surgical procedures, he's absolutely the best person to go to. I'm very happy with my experience and my results.

Dr. Rapaport is a superstar
Even with diet and exercise, after 2 pregnancies back to back, I could not get my abdomen area where I wanted it to be. Despite being intimidated by the entire process, I decided to make the call to Dr. Rapaport after being urged by other moms who raved about their results--and I am so happy that I did. He patiently listened to me, heard my concerns and recommended liposuction over a tummy tuck given I was unsure if I wanted more children. In just under 3 months I am finally loving my body after years of struggling. I finally feel excited to shop and dress up. He is not a doctor seeking Instagram 'likes' but a medical genius with the hands of an artist and really looks after the best interest of his patients. I am so grateful to Dr. Rapaport and his wonderful team for giving me back my life!

Rest assured that you are in the hands of a competent and highly trained surgeon. I felt it would only be right to share my positive experience & give the same advantage to anyone who may be considering a surgical procedure with Dr. Rapaport. The entire practice is very professional. His staff was kind & considerate. They were always accessible & competent in answering any questions I had. In fact, the office was extremely accommodating & kind due to a personal issue I had right before my procedure. Dr. Rapaport is the only plastic surgeon I would ever use. He is detailed & thoughtful about accomplishing exactly what will fit your lifestyle. I appreciated his conservative approach & his vast experience makes him stand out in his field. My procedure went smoothly & the results were exactly what I hoped for. My results are natural looking & beyond all my expectations! I have absolutely no regrets in choosing Dr. Rapaport for my breast surgery & I have no hesitation in recommending him as a plastic surgeon. Dr. Rapaport surpassed all of my expectations. He is no average plastic surgeon. I couldn't be more pleased.

Very rude and pandering surgeon
I had a terrible experience with Dr. Rapaport, not because of the quality of work but because of the disrespectful comments he made about me during my follow up appointment to have the ear repierced. I recently had a first part hair transplant surgery to alleviate gender dysphoria as I am a transgender woman. I have been countless offices for consultations, at least 15 for all types of plastic surgery to I know many of the personalities especially in NYC - and never met someone to make assumptions about the way I looked - quotes "who did this to you?" "how much did you pay for THAT?" "that technique doesn't work well..." "well my technician is much better than that look at my hair which is x number of grafts". he had me feeling completely insecure as I am just starting my growth process 2 months in. I felt completely disrespected and pandered to the entire time. I'm happy I never have to go back there again.

Dr. Rapaport is very thorough. He is an extremely caring and compassionate doctor with a great bedside manner. He performed an upper blepharoplasty procedure (upper eyelids) on me & Morpheus8 to help tighten my sagging skin. My recovery was effortless and I’m truly astounded by the results. I would have another surgery by him tomorrow.

Beware of Dr. Rapaport! He performed liposuction on me that I feel ruined my body. The liposuction left my skin looking unnaturally taut with indentations and uneven bands of flesh across my stomach. Apparently, the liposuction was far too aggressive and left my stomach looking gouged out. Immediately after the surgery I experienced intense nausea and could not get out of bed. I have never felt this kind of nausea after any other operation. Before the surgery I was not informed by Dr. Rapaport that such poor results were possible. Dr. Rapaport assured me that my abdomen would even out as time went on. After a few months passed and there was no change Dr. Rapaport finally acknowledged the poor results of the liposuction. His recommendation was that I wear one piece bathing suits. I've had two revision liposuction surgeries costing me thousands of dollars and my stomach still looks terrible. Frankly I feel I am disfigured for life. Stay away from Dr. Rapoport he is a hack!

Since the initial liposuction surgery I've consulted with other plastic surgeons and undergone two revision liposuction surgeries and several other procedures in an effort to correct Dr. Rapaport's work. This has cost me thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, there's only so much that can be done and frankly, I feel disfigured for life. There are plenty of other plastic surgeons in NYC stay away from this one. In my opinion he's a hack!

Beginning with my initial consultation through post-op care I could not be more pleased with Dr. Rapport and his team. The staff was organized, attentive and professional making me feel at ease, safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. It was apparent that Dr. Rapport holds himself and his team to a high standard. He took time to explain the procedure and answers all of my questions. Dr. Rapport is a true artist with an impeccable bedside manner. I am so pleased with the results!

DO NOT EVER LET DR RAPAPORT touch you! I went in for reconstruction of my left breast due to torn/rupture. I woke up with severe back pain from being flopped over on the surgical table while unconscious AND then my nightmare began. My breasts where completely different sizes post surgery and the pain was not normal. I paid to have have a post op MRI on my now deformed breasts as well as my back. This was after waiting 2 months hoping the pain would subside and maybe the breasts would some how right themselves. The back MRI showed 2 bulging lower back discs. L4 & L5. To top that the breast MRI showed that he left a valve in my right breast- hence explaining the intense pain and extremely abnormal HUGE size (right) breast. The left breast that slides under my arm- the MRI showed that he cut through my breast cavity hence why the implant sits away to the side. he places two diff size implants in me and greatly miscalculated. He now has a law firm threatening me for my review.

I highly recommend Dr. Rapaport. I went to him for my double chin that never went away no matter how much weight I lost. The results are better than I expected. He has completely changed my life with his medical skill and aesthetic eye. I look and feel so much younger, healthier and, importantly, natural. He took time to listen and go over various options to accomplish my goals. Also, I cannot say enough good things about the kind and competent staff. They kept tabs on my healing and were always available to answer questions. I will always go to Dr. Rapaport for my future needs and have been going for regular facials that maintain the health and well-being of my skin.

Dr. Rapaport is top notch! I had the good fortune of meeting him when he first started his practice in NYC back in 1998. I had liposuction of the thighs, knees, stomach and arms with tremendous results. 20+ years later (post child) I returned for additional underarm lypo, a tummy tuck plus a coolsculpt thigh procedure (Feb 2019). One year later and my my body looks better than it ever did, even as a teenager! My stomach is completely flat. And my recovery was exactly as he described. He is very patient and thorough and strives for excellence. His staff is terrific and there is no one else I would trust more. If you are considering any type of cosmetic procedure big or small, I strongly recommend you consult with Dr. Rapaport.

I've had a few small procedures from Dr Rap. Despite being small, they are extremely delicate and his attention to detail and expertise shows you why he's rated as one of the top plastic surgeons in NYC. I reccommend him to all my friends and family. His staff is also very friendly and professional and they do a great job of following up with you after your procedure to make sure everything is good with you. I like that extra care.
