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. Longo cares about his patients like family
Dr. Longo’s experience and wisdom in the realm of plastic and reconstructive surgery are above and beyond but it’s his caring approach that stands out. He treats you like family and sometimes that means telling you the truth that you might not want to hear. He will tell you the truth about whether your wants are realistic and beneficial for you because he cares. He doesn’t say “yes let’s do all of that” just to make money, he wants expectations to be realistic because he actually cares about you as the patient, not his wallet. That’s a rare characteristic that stands out when you are trusting someone with delicate procedures. Thank you Dr. Longo for caring about the patient rather than the money.

Exceptional surgeon
Dr. Longo is the best surgeon in town. His life long experience of practicing medicine in more than just plastic surgery speaks volumes to his credibility and skill. He has taken care of several friends and family now who all speaks highly of his work and devotion to his practice. Can’t recommend Chuck enough!

Dr. Longo is the best of the BEST!
Dr. Longo is an exceptional physician. He’s very straight forward & honest with aesthetic recommendations. He’s got such a fine eye for detail and knows what will look great for you. Dr. Longo is a genius and very caring. He really takes the time to get to know his patients and their needs. Dr. Longo has the surgical skills to deliver on all cosmetic procedure needs or complex surgical cases. My firsthand experience begins withDr. Longo performing a very complex & lifesaving surgical repair for my father. No other reconstructive surgeon would do this complex procedure for my father! Since, several of my family members have gone to Dr. Longo for reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. We/I trust Dr. Longo’s opinion and expertise. Reconstructive & Plastic Surgery is not only Dr. Longo’s profession, it is his calling in life. My family & friends would never consider going to any other surgeon. Dr. Longo is the BEST! 100% recommend Dr. Longo to anyone.

His EGO IS BIG! He doesn’t listen to you!
I went 4 facelift. He concentrated on my forehead, which I wasn’t concerned about. I had 2 lines btwn my eye brows. I wear bangs. I was concerned about my jowls. Bottom line, 3 years later my forehead & head R still numb. I still have jowls & my forehead is smooth & shiny. I don’t recommend him. He barely touched my face on subsequent follow up visits. When he removed the staples he left 1 in. He made me wait a year when after 3 months it was apparent I still had jowls. Then he did lipo on my jowls & made me wait another year before he agreed to do corrective surgery. When I was scheduling corrective surgery I questioned how much he was charging & was told “he’s basically doing your facelift all over” by Ruth, his nurse & ofc mgr. I didn’t like hearing that because at 1 point he told me he had my face layer out on table. So I said I was going to get a 2nd opinion before I scheduled the corrective surgery. He called & yelled at me 4 wanting 2nd opinion. His EGO again! $15k lost!!!

Honestly I have never experienced such a caring and knowledgeable doctor. He and his staff were responsive, supportive and kind. I would recommend Dr. Longo because he is not only the best plastic surgeon in my opinion but he honestly cares and treats you like you are family. I feel like I not only got a better body but a new friend.
