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.

Top Notch
In a city full of med spas and plastic surgeons, Dr. Monaco is the best. Every detail of the appointment from intake to follow up is outstanding. Dr. Monaco herself is a highly skilled, precise, and attentive surgeon. Dr. Monaco listens very carefully to her patients and then makes recommendations based on the patient's goals. I completely trust Dr. Monaco and recommend her without reservation.

Dr. Monaco was instrumental in providing her expertise and care in assisting my teenage daughter with the repair of a childhood nose injury. She was kind, compassionate and responsive. We are so grateful with the outstanding results and thrilled to have met Dr. Monaco. We recommend her wholeheartedly!

Dr. Monaco is truly the best of the best! She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and open to any equations and/or concerns you may have at any time. My family and I have been a patient of Dr. Monaco's for several years. We have received excellent medical and post treatment care after some minor surgeries. She has helped my daughter with some scarring issues above her eyebrow, after a pretty bad fall, and we couldn't be happier with the results. I suffered a fall a couple of years ago and needed several stitches right on the middle of my forehead. Dr. Monaco took excellent care of me during and after the procedure. Her post op treatment plan helped me through the healing process and I have to say that there is practically zero scarring! She is an extremely skilled surgeon who understands your needs and builds patient confidence during every phase of your experience. I highly recommend Dr. Monaco and wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

For my 6/30/20 emergency situation Dr Monaco rose above any expectations to extend herself. The surgery ended up being 55 stitches just above my eye, it was performed with calm, small talk and such gentleness i didn't even feel it. She is a perfectionist, very professional, follows up (at home) to avoid me going to her office (Covid19 !!) We became so close I consider her a friend although she is about my daughter's age. Truly a blessed encounter under trauma situation.. She's simply the best as a plastic surgeon and a human being.

Dr. Monaco is a top notch professional. She is talented, careful, and personable. She removed the stigma of facial wasting nine years ago, and I go back every year for maintenance. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. And she is a truly lovely person.

Dr Monaco is one of the rare doctors you actually look forward to seeing! She takes such time with each patient, never making you feel rushed or silly for you concerns. I am a total baby when it comes to needles or anything medical and she talks me through everything and distracts me at just the right moments. She hasn't a gentle touch, an engaging personality and does fabulous work. I always leave feeling good (and pretty!). She does the best Botox of any doc in NYC!

I have been a patient of Dr. Monaco's for more than 2 years. She is an honest, truly caring doctor who always has her patients interests at heart. I see Dr. Monaco for Botox and fillers. She always listens to my my needs and works with me to achieve the very best version of myself. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Monaco, she is always up on all ground breaking techniques and most importantly never disappoints.

Dr Monaco has been doing my botox for three years and I most recently had her do a breast augmentation. I think my results are great, natural and feminine. I think she's a great surgeon and she's thorough with her consultation. I would highly recommend her with my three year history in her practice.

I feel Dr JoAn Monaco is my savior! I had MOHS surgery for an Insitu Melanoma above my lip and had plastic surgery to repair the defect. I had a problem with pincushioning after this surgery despite massaging my scar for 9 months. I happened to meet Dr JoAn Monaco and she recommended massaging heavily with BioCorneum top help resolve the other surgeon's problem. Luckily, after 4 months following her advice, my pincushioning was totally resolved. I feel normal again!
