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.

Not practicing, provided no follow up
This doctor did a deviated septum and rhinoplasty and was paid up front for the entire process thru follow-up and revision if needed. He had a medical incident right after the surgery, which we feel bad about, but he has not communicated anything with his patients and when pressed his assistant Christina had a zoom call with us and they promised he would never leave his patients without another doctor specializing in rhinoplasty to take over for his care. He has not done that and this is unacceptable. There are 3 issues with the surgery and my child's breathing is much worse then before the surgery. Its nine months and still has pain on a specific spot on the nose. What are his patients supposed to do? This is unfair and needs to be handled. What are a patients rights? He has destroyed my childs self esteem feeling left in the middle of a very sensitive & emotional surgery. This is just awful. and is causing severe stressfor our family.

Highly recommend
Dr Newman is amazing. He took such good care of me before, during and after my rhinoplasty/septoplasty. And I could not be happier with the results! It’s so much easier to breathe, and I love how it looks - just enough of a difference for me to be very happy, not enough for anyone else to know what the subtle change is! Perfect!

I felt as though we worked as a team. Dr. Newman is very personable and has a very gentle way about him. Any fear I had at the beginning was addressed with a real and warm assurance that the experience would be one of comfort and the results would be pleasing. Everything was exactly as he prepared me for. I have to always remember that I am a new me whenever I feel insecure.

When i would go in for pre ops everything was very easy and all my questions were answered. After surgery my recovery was not bad at all and while waking up and even before having surgery the nurses were very nice and reassuring. I am very happy with my results so far and would recommend this doctor.

Dr.Newman was very thorough while explaining to me what he was going to do during my rhinoplasty. He made it very clear what my nose was going to look like after the procedure and definitely live up to what he said he was going to do. He was able to change my nose like I asked while still making sure that I still look like myself. In addition, he had experience with patients with the same blood condition as myself. I couldn't be happier with the results!

Doctor newman is an expert in his own right. I have had the pleasure of meeting him and his staff over a year ago. I have continued with various inquiries and procedures - all of which leave me extremely satisfied. I have met with other plastic surgeon’s over the years and while I have felt comfortable - Doctor Newman goes over and above with his patients. He truly cares and wants the best for you. He also has surrounded himself with a top-notch team. His staff continues with the caring and delivers every time. I love them all and trust them implicitly. The Aesthetic Center is where you need to go if you are considering any procedures. As for me, I had previously had a tummy tuck after my 2nd child and after 10 years became pregnant with twins. It was after this that I decided to meet with Doctor Newman to discuss my options. I didn’t know if I could do it again or what to do. Doctor Newman took the time to walk me through my options. Of course after breast feeding 4 kid

Dr. Newman was so professional, made me feel so comfortable and ready to jump right into getting a rhinoplasty/septoplasty without any hesitation. From the start he not only wanted to make me feel more confident about my physical appearance but help me in my troubles with breathing. I'm still swollen (as normal) but the healing and recovery time has been so speedy compared to other friends of mine who have gotten this surgery done--I was bruise-free after 5 days. Thank you so much to Dr. Newman and the Aesthetic Center for making this experience the best it could have possibly been!

I have been incredibly pleased with Dr. Newman and his staff. I came in for rhinoplasty to address minor revisions / enhancements to my nose, and I couldn't be happier with the post-op results. Dr. Newman listened to my concerns/desires during our pre-op discussions, provided insight/direction based on his experience, and more than delivered on what was expected. I would most definitely recommend him (and already have) to anyone considering rhinoplasty.

I used to be very insecure about my nose. I thought that I resembled Squidward from the hit television show Spongebob Squarepants. It was not good in the hood. But then the homie, Dr Newman, hooked me up with a new rig on my face. It's now much thinner and my septum is deviated no mas. I'm very happy with the results and I hope to do it again soon! Lol jk ;)))).
