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.

Best decision ever
Dr. Shuster went above and beyond my expectations, easing all my nerves and turning my lifelong dream into reality. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shuster and his team time and time again.When I first went in for my consultation, I was overwhelmed—after all, surgery is a big decision, and altering my body felt daunting. But Dr. Shuster and his team provided unwavering reassurance, patiently guiding me through every moment of doubt and uncertainty. Their expertise and support gave me complete confidence, and the results were beyond anything I could have imagined.My recovery was smooth—I experienced no pain, minimal bruising, and was able to return to my normal routine quickly. Now, I love seeing myself in the mirror, dressing up for date nights, and, most importantly, feeling confident and beautiful in a swimsuit.There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude for making this process seamless and restoring the confidence I didn’t even realize I was missing.

Professional
From the moment I met the doctor, I knew I was in the right hands. He came highly recommended by a friend who had a very complex case, and his work exceeded all expectations. The consultation confirmed he was the one I could trust completely. The entire experience, from the seamless operation to the exceptional post-op care, was handled with the utmost professionalism. I can’t recommend him enough.Olga

Amazing team, amazing doctor, amazing results
I came from NYC to meet with Dr. Shuster, as my family is all in North Miami Beach. It was truly an amazing experience from the start. Dr. Shuster and his staff took the time to discuss the procedure I was looking for (eyes) and made great suggestions, even recommending a different (and more cost effective approach) from the highly acclaimed doctor I saw in NYC. It's been five weeks and my results are amazing. I absolutely trust and recommend Dr. Shuster. He has been around and knows his craft and excels in it. Additionally, I can't begin to express my appreciation for both his amazing staff but also the hospital that he performs at. He spent so much time with me, both before the procedure, and after. I am very thankful and appreciative; the entire experience has been amazing, better than I could have ever expected.

Beyond My Expectations
Dr Shuster recently performed my neck lift and I am beyond thrilled with my results. He totally exceeded my expectations both in terms of my results and the entire process. He didn't try to upsell anything, was thorough in his description of what I could expect and he clearly is both incredibly talented and compassionate. His staff is outstanding as well, and most of them have worked with him many years, a clear indication of how well he manages his business. I highly recommend him, and in fact, my daughter has decided to have a procedure with him as a result.

Choosing Dr. Shuster for my implant removal and replacement was a great decision. I spent 25 years working as a plastic surgical nurse so I knew what I was looking for in a surgeon. I booked a consult with Dr. Shuster after reading about his qualifications and looking at his extensive pre and post-op photos. His work speaks for itself and it says excellent surgeon. I really didn't care about the reviews that just said how nice he is, I wanted a good surgeon, not just a nice person. Well, he is both! He is a great listener and his response to your questions and input is sincere and on point. I appreciated my interactions with him and his entire staff. His medical practice is well thought out and is centered on the patient. Many medical offices are simply geared to profit, not the impression I got at all. Dr. Shuster is enthusiastic about his career. It appears he truly loves what he does, really likes people and takes pride in every detail. I highly recommend Dr. Shuster.

Last year, I was called after my surgery and informed that healthcare workers at the surgery center had COVID and I had been exposed. A couple days later I was sick. I also got MRSA from the surgery center too. When I talked to Nicole, she said it was all my fault and I brought it on myself. I'm not angry at the healthcare workers or the facility but I will never go back and definitely NOT recommend this facility simply because of the way I was treated by Nicole.

I couldn’t recommend Dr. Shuster and his staff enough. They are kind, accommodating and very knowledgeable. My entire proceeds from consultation to post op (breast revision and rhinoplasty) has been the best experience I have had. My results look natural and exactly what I have asked for. Dr. Shuster’s subject matter expertise in plastic surgery really shows in his work. THANK YOU!!!

I'm not a high maintenance patient but the staff at the surgery facility he rents was awful. I needed help and they ignored me let me lay there for 45 minutes. The only time they were great was when Dr. Shuster was near. After asking a couple of question, his assistant rolled her eyes and sighed in frustration.

After a delightful consultation with Dr. Shuster, his assistant will come in and say whatever is necessary to prevent you from leaving until you give them a non-refundable deposit. Get ready for the hard-core sales pitch.

My experience with Dr. Shuster and his staff was incredible from start to finish. Everyone is so kind and helpful--a complete class act. I knew immediately during my consultation that I was going to have the best care possible. I am completely thrilled with my implant revision surgery. The results were better than I could have imagined! I just wish I had found Dr. Shuster's practice sooner. Tami, Nicole, Beverly and Areanna are amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Shuster and his staff!

I had my surgery 1/16/2020 with Dr. Shuster and I have nothing but GREAT things to say about him. I had several procedures same day - Upper and lower eye lids, chin lipo, rhinoplasty, fat transfer from inner thigh to check area and exchanged my breast implants that were leaking from a previous procedure with another doctor back in 2012 (Saline, manufacturer defect). My results have been amazing, I interviewed about 10 other surgeons and he impressed me the most. My face looks great and its been almost 8 weeks and all areas are healing the way he mentioned. I am happy I decided to go with him. He has perfect bedside manners and really paid attention to my needs. He looks out for his patients best interest and his patients are not just dollar signs to him. He will shut you down if he feels its too risky. Honest, kindness and Professional along with his Team in the Office and at Surgery. - Thank you again for all you did! I will be back when I need more work. : ))

One of the best decisions I ever made was going to Dr. Shuster for my tummy tuck and brachioplasty! He and his team have always gone out of their way to ensure my well being and comfort. It has been 2 months since my surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with my results thus far! I lost 75 lbs and had so much excess skin hanging that it pulled my self confidence down with it...until now! Dr. Shuster worked his magic and I’ve never felt so good about myself!

After weeks of research and consultations with 3 plastic surgeons, I am glad to have found Dr. Shuster. He is one of the few surgeons who are skilled enough to perfect breast augmentations without any scars on the breasts by using the transaxillary method (incision along the natural crease of the armpit). The surgical incision was so nicely made that it looks just like my natural armpit crease even during the recovery process. I now have naturally voluptuous SCARLESS breasts! Recovery was easy.

Dr. Shuster did an excellent job, as always. I have had four procedures with Dr. Shuster. The most recent was a mini-lift re-do. Dr. Shuster is a very talented and meticulous surgeon. He is pleasant and funny and has a wonderful bedside manner. He is not arrogant at all. He also really cares about his patients and you can tell that. His staff is also wonderful.

As far as the rhinoplasty Dr.Shuster has performed for me SAVE YOURSELF AND FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR! The job he did is just short of botched. My nose is now asymmetrical. The first procedure he did left me with a bump in my nose which I did not have before. After the unsatisfactory result from the initial operation, he offered to do a 2nd operation to correct this and make my nose look better. He failed and I'm stuck with a crooked nose! I now hide from taking pics and cameras. I regret doing this!!

I highly recommend Dr. Shuster for breast augmentation surgery. I had my surgery just over 3 months ago and am extremely pleased with the results. Dr. Shuster and his staff made the whole experience as pleasant as possible. His staff was friendly and helpful and they answered all my questions and put me at ease. Dr. Shuster was meticulous in all details of the surgery and made every effort to make the results look as natural and flattering as possible. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Shuster!!
