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.

Dr. Skolnick is a very talented, kind, brilliant and funny surgeon. He is empathetic. In nyc these qualities are very rare.

During the consult Dr. Skolnik told me that at 5' 5" & 129lbs., he would like to see me lose weight. For some reason i proceeded with the surgery. I am so very very disappointed with the results of my liposuction performed by Dr. Skolnik. Not only were the results very poor but they ordered & charged me for the wrong size compression garment. They made NO attempt to remedy the situation. Overall I would recommend you steer clear of Dr. Skolnik!

richard skolnik and i have a rare relationship. he refuses to do anything that is unnecessary and tells me so. the first time i saw him was after i fell flat on my face in paris. i already had a lovely nose. some of the cartilege had been flattened on the ridge of my nose. the first thing richard said to me upon our initial meeting was "you are a very pretty girl." after this and his visual examination of my nose he refused to touch my face. this is honesty and certainly not greed.

Had a very good experience with Dr. Skolnick. He's knowledgeable, direct, and has a great sense of humor. He spent time with me and explained everything being done. His office staff is excellent too.
