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.

Best plastic surgeon in Philadelphia area
Had alar base (nostril) reduction and cannot express enough how happy I am with the result. Dr. Pontell is a true artist and can see what suits your face. My nose finally looks like it fits. I love it. Such a quick, easy process for a huge improvement.

Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty
I had recent rhinoplasty and septoplasty with Dr. Pontell. From the initial consultation to the final post op visit, I was extremely pleased. Being a physician myself , my perspective was somewhat different. Over the many years in practice, I have seen and heard from patients about their experiences with this surgery along with all the other aspects of medical and surgical encounters, both positive and negative. Dr. Pontell is an extremely caring, professional, and incredibly competent surgeon. The cosmetic outcome met and surpassed all of my expectations. His office staff were also very amiable and helpful. I would strongly Dr. Pontell to anyone who is considering this procedure. Dr. C.

Highly recommended!!
Rhinoplasty. Dr. Pontell's office was phenomenal. He was very thorough, as was his staff. Prior to surgery, I had a million and one questions and no one seemed bothered by any of my questions, but instead acknowledged my concerns. I also love that Dr. Pontell was very straightforward, given I initially had an unrealistic expectation as to how I wanted my nose to look post surgery. I would highly recommend from start to finish.

I love this place! I have been here once before for a consultation, and had a nice experience. So it was an easy choice for me to come back again and see Dr. Pontell. He has a friendly and calming demeanor, which suits my nervous personality! The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Cannot wait to come back for another procedure!

I had a revision rhinoplasty. I was so unhappy with my first procedure with a different Doctor. Then, I came to Dr. Pontell's office and everyone was so incredible! The ladies in the office are so sweet and helpful and Dr. Pontell was very informative, detailed, and seemed so calm and trustworthy. The bedside manner was unbelievable! They made me feel so comfortable before and after. 10/10 experience! I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone, hes the absolute best!!! I LOVE MY NEW NOSE!

Dr. Pontell is such a talented surgeon! I had an upper blepharoplasty and a mini facelift. My results are amazing, and look very natural! Dr. Pontell has done surgery on two of my family members as well, a rhinoplasty and a lower blepharoplasty, and their results were fabulous! I would definitely recommend Dr. Pontell!

Happy Outcome
I’m very satisfied and I would recommend him for sure but he does always seem hurried. His staff is great but the schedule was almost always wrong when reminders are sent. I had to call in several times to see if I should come in at the different time I was sent or the one I actually scheduled. For me it wasn’t that big a deal but for people with children or employment it would be a inconvenience.

Dr. Pontell performed my rhinoplasty in 2018 and I was thrilled with the results. However, my very loving but rambunctious 8 yr old son broke my nose while I was kissing his head a year after the surgery. The break resulted in several noticeable dents on the bridge of my nose. I consulted with Dr. Pontell and we decided to try filler to help restore the look from the surgery. I could not be more happy results! I have my beautifully sculpted nose back thanks again to Dr. Pontell!

I had a mini-face lift at Dr. Pontell's. He is wonderful. In the initial visit he takes as much time as needed to make sure he understands your expectations. He fully explains the process ensuring you are fully aware of what to expect. The mini-face lift went very smoothly. I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Pontell.

I went to Dr. Pontell for a rhinoplasty as well as a chin augmentation. I am beyond happy with the results of both operations, it looks incredibly natural while achieving my goal of more symmetry and a beautiful side profile. Dr. Pontell's office, Kathy and Marie especially, are wonderful, kind, and go above in beyond of making this an easy process. Dr. Pontell has great bedside manner, answers all questions, and I will continue going back to him!
