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.

My experience was a solid "10"! The staff is friendly, empathetic, humorous and understanding. I was never made to feel silly for any questions or concerns I may have had. The environment is like a day spa; relaxing and very female focused. Doctor Riolo herslef was nothing short of amazing. She listened, counseled and guided in decisions and expectations. I would recommend anyone I know and love to this facility for sure.

Dr. Riolo is unlike any other medical doctor. She is truly the marriage of art and science to perfection. She listened so carefully to what my goals were for my long journey of weight loss and what I could achieve for my own real situation. I'm so grateful for her gifts that she was able to design and assist with the changes that allowed me a body I didn't even have when I was 20 years old, now at 47. I only have this one body and I'm so glad I trusted it to a gifted surgeon at her craft.

This is my second breast augmentation with Dr. Riolo, and both times have been absolutely amazing. Whenever I had any doubts, or would change my mind, she was always willing to listen and give me her honest advice. I love her and the stuff, and my new boobs.

I really like Dr. Riola. She is very thorough in everything she does. She always takes the time to listen to me and encourages me to ask questions if any. She is also a perfectionist, as am I, and I think that it extremely important in this line of work.

I had breast cancer and after surgery and radiation I was in need of reconstructive plastic surgery on my breasts. I wish I had never let Dr. Riolo do my surgery. My breast are horrible. One breast is saggy and the breast which had cancer has a big dent and is hard as a rock...Dr. Riolo did not follow through with the procedure of filling my breast with excess tissue that had been removed following my breast cancer surgery. Terrible job...
