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.
Excellent provider and staff!

Dr. Topal did my abdominoplasty in 2007. She was amazing leading up to the surgery, and her follow up was above and beyond what I've come to expect from MDs. She's knowledgeable, kind, and so so skillful. Highly recommend (and I have - to many)

Follow up care for post-surgical complication was miserable. Had to explain my symptoms over and over to front office (Donna) and still had to wait months for an appointment. The issue is unsightly and painful, and is clearly the result of the surgical procedure. It needs to be addressed by Dr. Topal. Donna called the day before to cancel my appointment because I had no insurance on file. Front desk interested in policy, not patient care.

I waited over two years to write this review. I have bad skin which resulted in loose skin and stretch marks between my breasts. I also wanted a breast reduction and I was honestly desperate to get it done. Dr Topal is very nice and welcoming, but I'm not quite satisfied with the results. I have a hanging hook between my breasts and the problem I went in to solve is not solved. I raised this issue in the aftercare meetings and she wanted me to pay for another procedure. I'm quite disappointed.

I would recommend Dr. Topal to all of my friends or family. She is so professional and kind and takes the time to answer your questions and work with you...and her work is exemplary. I felt very confident under her care and wouldn't hesitate to go back to her for any kind of work.

Saw injury. Finger cut in half, broken bone, tendon, joint blown open, and nerve in tatters. I thought the worst. Dr. Topal reassured me; got me into surgery right away. Her skillful work over the next 4 hours knit the pieces back together, under microscope, painstakingly and with exacting attention to detail. Dr. Topal resurrected my right hand which I depend for my livelihood. And her detailed stitches and care in repairing the cut have left me 7 weeks later with a normal hand! She cares.

Dr. Topal is an excellent doctor. She has great knowledge and expertise. Dr. Topal put me at ease almost immediately with an excellent bedside manner. Her staff is very welcoming and also reassuring. I am very grateful also that she accepted my insurance and fortunate that I was able to get on her cancellation list to be treated by her!
