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.

Answered Any questions or concerns I had very thoroughly. Never felt uncomfortable with the private issues that as a patient I may have.

Kind and thorough
Great from start to finish. Amazing reception staff who was wonderful at answering questions and even worked to get me in sooner as I had a concern. I was seen in a very timely manner which I appreciate and Dr Breit was kind, thorough and unrushed with my questions and our discussion.

Exceeded my expectations!
I originally went to a different Dr. And left feeling deflated and worried about the procedure. It took me a year to get a second opinion and I’m so thrilled that I did! Dr. Breit did a fabulous job and completely exceeded my expectations!

Went in for a fairly simple cosmetic facial procedure (or so I thought). Chose to overlook the fact that he seemed to recite the same Wikipedia article I had just read prior to coming in. The procedure went well but his LACK OF EXPERIENCE with this procedure lead him to make an error in judgment which then lead to a seemingly never ending nightmare. He and his colleagues are glorified boob job artists, and nothing more.

Best experience ever! Dr. Breit is so amazing, kind, knowledgeable, professional, easy to talk to and makes you feel like number one. He took his time to answer all my questions and explain everything to me. His staff is also amazing. The moment I walked into the clinic I felt comfortable and at ease. This place is the place to go! I will be recommending Plastic Surgery Associates to everyone I know!
