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.

Talented Surgeon, excellent results
Dr. Cimino is a personable, caring, extremely talented plastic surgeon. He achieved excellent results, and the healing process has just begun. I would highly recommend Dr. Cimino as a gifted plastic surgeon and as a patient, he makes you feel comfortable. Very personable, listens, answers questions in detail.

Proven talent
Meeting Dr Cimino in 2011, he successfully reconstructed my son’s jaw after a catastrophic accident. When I decided to go the treatment/eye lift route, I looked him up. I’ve been seeing him for a few years for facial injections and now have had him perform an upper eye lift. I’m still in the healing process, but he and his staff have been caring, patient, and thorough professionals. I look for appropriate personal engagement especially with such an intimate surgical process. He and his staff have certainly lived up to my high expectations!

I’ve been seeing Dr Cimino on several occasions since 2017. He’s amazing! He doesn’t over freeze your face and you get the hands of highly skilled plastic surgeon administering the shots. I’m a salon owner and hairstylist myself so I refer all my clients to Dr Cimino. They all rave about their visits with his him as well. His staff is very friendly and accommodating. Thank you Dr Cimino for taking years off my face!

Rude, with the poorest bedside manner I've ever experienced. Awful plastic surgery job. I feel scarred for life at this point. Interrupts when you're trying to ask a question. Makes excuses and tries to put the blame on the patient. This was the worst experience I've ever been through. Spends more time with his students than with the patient.

Dr. Cimino has treated me on several occasions; I have seen him for both cosmetic and medical/surgical issues. I would highly recommend Dr. Cimino! He is not only a high skilled surgeon, he genuinely cares about his patients and working with them to achieve the very best outcomes. Also if you do a little searching on the internet you will also see that Dr. Cimino is consistently rated highly by his peers (i.e., Chicago Magazine - Top Doctors). He is one of the best!

Dr. Cimino is that once-in-a-lifetime surgeon everyone wishes they knew. Dr. Cimino performed a scar revision on my abdomen from a surgery I had over 10 years ago. What was once an ugly scar that made me feel very self-conscious is, today, virtually undetectable. Dr. Cimino is compassionate, honest and patient. He genuinely listens to his patients concerns. I have plans for facial cosmetic surgery and he is the ONLY surgeon I will trust. Thank you, Dr. Cimino!

I've been a patient of Dr Cimino's for several years and have had a number of procedures and surgeries. I keep going back and recommend him to all my family and friends because of his knowledge of plastic surgery and medicine in general. He's thoughtful, kind, considerate, and doesn't promise what he can't deliver. He's one of the best doctor's I've been to and highly recommend him!

Dr. Cimino is an incredibly dedicated and professional surgeon. I am so happy with my results and couldn't have asked for a better doctor. I was so uncomfortable with my condition, but Dr. Cimino put me at ease pre-surgery. I am incredibly satisfied with my results and would recommend Dr. Cimino to anyone that is considering cosmetic surgery. Thank you!

What a fantastic surgeon! Dr. Cimino is incredibly thorough and precise, not to mention has a wonderful bedside manner. I have been going to him for over 5 years, and after experiencing his work, I could never go to another doctor. I would highly recommend him for any and all cosmetic/aesthetic needs. His knowledge and talent, coupled with his ability to understand his patients needs make him top in the industry.
