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.

I researched doctors for over a year and couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Sarbak. From my initial consultation to my six-month follow-up, everything was excellent. He truly listens, shares his professional recommendations, and works hard to deliver the results you’re seeking. His entire staff is kind and attentive. As this was my first cosmetic surgery, I was very nervous, but every single person on the team was supportive and helped calm my anxieties. Dr. Sarbak is an artist—I now have my dream boobs, going from almost nothing to a gorgeous, natural shape. I am beyond grateful for his talent and care. He's the BEST.

Dr Sarbak and his team are absolutely phenomenal, I never at any point felt alone in this experience. They answered cleverly question I had and the follow up care has been fantastic. Dr S and his team truly care about you as a person and your personal goals when coming to their office. I’m so delighted in the confidence Dr Sarbak has given me back and I will continue to see them and recommend anyone in need of one of their services as they are truly the best around!

Never Again
After a face/neck surgery, one whole side of my face blew up causing horrid black and blue marks and had to return to him a few times a week to reduce the swelling. As the result of severe spinal pain, I was taking a strong pain killer prescribed by a Pain Management doctor. At that point, in front of Brittany, his M.A., he called me a drug addict and nothing less. I told him it was best to stop the pejorative ranting which he ignored. After committing to a few remedies, he abruptly dropped me as a patient.

Dr. Sarbak is very caring and attentive. However, above all, he is a brilliant surgeon. He has made my breasts look better than ever. I had breast reduction. Highly recommend.

In 2020, I was looking for a plastic surgeon to repair a torn earlobe that a South Florida plastic surgeon had previously repaired 10 years prior and the lobe tore again in the very same place. A colleague recommended Dr. Sarbec, and I also did my own independent research, and found glowing reviews for Dr. Sarbec and scheduled the procedure. Dr. Sarbec and his team were wonderful and I was so pleased that I finally, at the age of 62, in February of this year, had Dr. Sarbec do a breast reduction that I was wanting to do for the past 20 years. My only regret is not having done it 20 years sooner. My results were life-changing and far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Sarbec is extremely attentive, displays a sincerity and exceptional bedside manner and at all times, put me at ease and always made me feel safe. His staff is also extremely professional and caring. His anesthesiologist even called me the night before my procedure to introduce himself. I am so grateful to Dr Sarbec!!

No one else I've known to undergo surgery has had a more attentive doctor and staff! I met with Dr Sarbak initially by video call, as I live in another state. I could tell immediately that he was a perfectionist who wanted me to have optimal results, as he suggested a few tweaks to make sure I would be pleased with my results. The surgeries went exactly as planned. Dr Sarbak checked carefully every few days in the first few weeks, then weekly, to make sure I was healing well. Dr Sarbak's outstanding team, along with his skills, ensures I'll be going back if I desire any additional 'corrective' surgery.

I went to one other consult before seeing Dr. Sarbak and I am so glad I decided to use him for my breast augmentation. He has been amazing from our consultation through surgery and every single post op appt I’ve had. His entire staff is amazing as well. Harmony and Brittany have been very helpful through the whole process.

He listened to what I wanted and needed, and from that he helped me make the best decision with my surgery, and always with a smile on his face and honest with his answers when I asked. My biggest thing was wanting to look natural, and he exceeded my expectations. When making what route we would go, I was worried about scaring, since I didn’t heal well from my c-section. So Dr. Sarbak recommended going through my belly button so scaring wouldn’t be an issue and the healing process would be faster. Within a few weeks I was back to working out, and having no issues picking up my son and no scaring!

Dr. Sarbak was able to repair the damage done by another medical “professional” in a severely botched liposuction . I was left with debits and lumps and scarring all over my limbs. I really never thought I would look normal again but Dr. Sarbak took the time to ensure the results would be beneficial. He literally changed my life. I couldn’t be more grateful.
