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 went to Dr. Swift for a BBL and had a really bad experience. Dr. Swift preformed lip on my stomach and it is extremely uneven with divots all over my abdominal area. I have scar tissue that you can see thru the skin. I have spent thousands of dollars with a different surgeon doing revisions and I'm learning that some of the mistakes cannot be fixed. They will be permanent, which is really hard to accept. Dr. Swift also preformed lipo on the inner and outer side of my thigh and took out way too much fat, which held up my butt. One side of my butt was sagging because of it. This doctor does not know how a woman's body should look. He ruined my waist to hip ratio that every woman wants and I will never get it back. My legs look unnatural and you can actually see indentions in my leg. My BBL came out square and unnatural looking. The technique that Dr. Swifts uses left large scars that are unnecessary. I have two large symmetrical scars on my lower back that you can see with every s

I still cannot believe that I got botched with Botox, by a Park Avenue plastic surgeon. I should’ve known that the Groupon had a catch. I got a Groupon almost two weeks ago for 40 units of Botox with Dr. Swift. I checked all his reviews and he seemed like he was a well reputable surgeon, I questioned why he had to go on Groupon, but I thought he just needed some quick cash and it all made sense. I made the appointment for the next day, Tuesday, because I was traveling on Wednesday and I didn’t

Dr. Swift walked me through the entire SmartLipo process during the consultation to ensure I was comfortable, and walked me through the process again during my Pre Op appointment, scheduled for just 2 weeks later. The day prior to my surgery, the anesthesiologist called me directly to ask if I had any questions or concerns. Very thoughtful. The day of the surgery, Dr. Swift greeted me, and explained the process yet again. (character limitation; remaining review on Google reviews)
