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.

One of a kind
Dr Pastana is a one of a kind Doctor. He truly does care for YOU! Extremely informative. Talks to you, not at you. I am blessed to have him as my doctor.

Had Rhinoplasty surgery four years, and could not be more pleased. The staff and Dr. Pestana were more than pleasant and very knowledgeable. When I got my cast off, I would show up to his office, and the front office staff, would allow me to speak with Nancy and Dr. Pestana, without an appointment. Highly recommend this physician and office. I have sent five friends to have this procedure and everyone has been happy.

If I could give Dr. Ivo Pestana and his staff 10 stars I would. He went above and beyond for a recent surgery. Impeccable beside manner that simply does not exist anywhere else today. Dr. Ivo visited several times in the hospital during my stay and checked on me frequently throughout my recovery. Not to mention he did an incredible job on minimizing scars from surgery. He is simply the BEST!! Wonderful experience with him, Nurse Nancy and entire staff!!

Dr Pestana first did reconstruction surgery for my nose from a previous terrible surgery . Dr Pestana took so much time explaning every detail of what I needed and has the best bed sidemanner I’ve ever known. I was 47 at that time but never required any pain meds just some swelling. My recovery was far better than I expected and my nose was amazing ! About a year later I had a lower face lift with a chin implant and liposuction around my waist. Again the results were beautiful...Denise

Great Surgeon! Takes time to explain each step of your Surgery and estimated recovery time. I can call anytime during office hours and get my questions answered quickly. Friendly staff and appointment wait time is fair.

Dr. Ivo Pestana and his assistant Nancy take the time to really listen to you. They help you figure out what you NEED, even if it means you shouldn't have a surgery right away. Most doctors out there just want your money, even if it is to the detriment of your health. He makes things very easy to understand, using common terms that make you get the picture. Hands down one of the best (if not THE best) plastic surgeons around.

I had abdominoplasty several years ago, and was very disappointed with he and his assistant. Once they had our money they were less than cordial along with their bedside manner. The drainage tube got infected on one side, and was bleeding quite a bit. I also had a problem with the way he replaced my belly button and it jutted out. He said it was scar tissue, and that I had put weight on, which was not true. Very dissatisfied with his work, and would never recommend him.

I am grateful for having Dr. Pestana, Nancy and his staff there for me, when I needed it. They have been an invaluable support to me since the 1sr visit through all the process and follow ups. Helping me deciding for the right treatment, treating me like family, giving me the attention and care I needed. Nancy was there at my side during surgeries, gave me confidence that all was going to be fine. Dr. Pestana Professionalism, skills are superb.

The best doctors! Dr Tatiana, Ivo, Elsa, and the nurse Nancy, each of them care about their patients on a personal level, for me they are as part of my family. Excellent front staff, with good care and professionalism. . They've been my doctors for over 9 years and I've never had a complaint. This includes all the girls who have worked in the front office and others who are still working as Keyla the manager. Love them !

I cannot recommend Dr. Pestana. While he seemed pleasant enough, the staff in his office was horrible. Because they couldn't schedule me for more than a month because he was going on vacation (which was fine), they said I had to come back before the procedure for another consult (at a cost to me, of course). When I asked if I could get by w/out that because I just needed local anesthesia, they got furious that I would challenge their extra $$ and asked me to leave. Terrible experience.

He has the most wonderful bedside manner. He makes you feel very comfortable and feel genuinely cared for. I felt a trust in him the first time I came into his office. He did a wonderful job on my nose. I feel much more confident and can breathe correctly finally! He was recommended by two friends that are very happy with their results and I will continue to recommend him to my friends .

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January of 2016. I decided to have a bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. Since the first visit with Dr. Pestana he has made me feel very comfortable and has made sure that I have a perfect understanding of any procedure he has had to do as part of the reconstruction process. Every part of the reconstruction process has exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be happier with my results. The most caring and knowledgeable Dr. I could have asked for

I had surgery last week withDr.Pestana.Since the first visit I felt comfortable that my anxiety for the procedure alleviated. I really like the fact that he took his time to first listen and explain every questions and past medical history. That alone made at peace. His staff has the same goal. I already recommended other people that I know to him. Nowadays when you find a physician that is not lead to finance only but really is focus to patient care it is a really a plus. Thank you Dr.Pestana

Dr.Ivo Pestana is a phenomanel doctor... I am so lucky to have found such a great doctor. He is the kind of surgeon that does what is good and great for your body. I was looking a plastic surgeon and I was afraid to look artificial on my rhinoplasty. But after I found him this fear was gone. He is such great doctor and my nose looks wonderful. I am looking forward for my next plastic surgery now :) Thanks Dr. Pestana for everything :)
