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.

There are not enough stars to rate this surgeon!!!

A few months ago I choose Dr. Frank Ciminello as I 'thought' with his specialty experience and my injury he would be a Great physician to treat my condition. From the beginning he showed me a very uncaring, rushed and unfriendly physician personality. I only choose to continue treatment with him as I was and 'ARE STILL' in a bad place with my condition. My last treatment with Dr. Ciminello he basically, informed me there's nothing else he can do, to better my medical condition, with no recommendations, or anything. I left there in tears, and AMAZEMENT THAT A PHYSICIAN CAN TREAT A PATIENT IN THIS MANNER. I called after this visit and left a message with the office with no return calls ever. This is a very INSENSITIVE, UNCARING PHYSICIAN. I wouldn't refer my worst enemy to him. I'm sure if my insurance was different he would have given me better treatment.

Dr. Ciminello is great!
On 11/20/21 I went to my dermatologist and he cut off half of my nose. I was referred to Dr. Ciminello to close my wound. Everyone at his office was so friendly and accommodating. I experienced no pain and after several visits, my nose has looks great. Out of 10 I would give him a 15/10. If I ever need further plastic surgery I will come to see Dr. Ciminello and his PA, Dominique.

Couldn't be happier
I recently had a procedure by Dr. Ciminello. Both he and his staff have been incredibly helpful, provided full assistance before and after the procedure, and I am very happy with the results thus far (still a long way to go but info provided was on target). Office visits are promptly adhered to and everyone on the staff is/was super nice, helpful and highly competent!

Excellent, skillful, compassionate - these are the words I use to describe Dr. Ciminello. My six year old daughter needed surgery on her face. As a mother, I was distraught and anxious. Dr. Ciminello reassured me that everything would be alright and it has been. He did a wonderful job on my child. I am so grateful to him and his caring staff. She recovered quickly with great results. I highly recommend him!

My 5 year old daughter had a terrible fall which left her with a deep gash over an inch long over her left eyebrow. After our trip to the emergency room we went to Dr. Ciminello. He was very thoughtful in his manner with my daughter, and did an incredible job stitching the laceration. Three months later, and you can barely see the scar. Best results we could've hoped for. Highly recommend Dr. Cimonello.

Very happy with my experience at cimisurgical. Dr. Ciminello did surgery on my two month old daughter to remove a hemangioma in her nose. He did a fantastic job and I could not be anymore pleased with the results. I was worried that the shape of her nose and nostril would change from the removal, but he executed the procedure perfectly and you could never tell she had anything done. He is a great doctor and plastic surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone.

My special needs daughter had to have plastic surgery when her ear lobe split open and Dr. Ciminello was recommended to me by her pediatrician. The procedure went better than I expected, and he was absolutely wonderful with her. He understood her needs and did everything to make her as comfortable as possible so she was able to stay calm and focused during the procedure. He is truly a caring surgeon and takes time to explain what is involved before and after the procedure. My daughter's ear lobe healed beautifully, and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Ciminnello has to be one of the top surgeons in New Jersey .. If I could give him an award my self o would. My daughter has had 4 cleft lip reconstruction and he did an amazing job.

He performed a life-changing midface lift on me. I haven’t seen any pt on the internet sharing what they did with an “aged” Leforte III fx, eye enucleation with an asymmetric droop. Mine happened 30 years ago and now I’m 57. If u have this type of injury and r on the fence about getting back in the “ring” start with him. He is gifted, kind and understanding. When I look in the mirror, I still can’t believe he lifted it! If you need xtra specialty surgeons make the chain at HMC. Cyork.
