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 had breast reconstruction surgery due to breast cancer, Dr. Coccaro was very patient explaining the procedure to me. The surgery went well and I healed beautifully, the results turned out great. The staff is so understanding, there number one in my book. I would recommend this Dr. to family and friend. Wonderful Doctor

I am 6 weeks post op after having an umbilical hernia revision , modified tummy tuck and liposuction . I have to say I am thrilled with the result and I know this was no easy task as Dr.Coccaro had to fix what a previous doctor botched . I am grateful for his skill and attention to detail that has given me back my body . From Botox, to fillers Dr. Coccaro is the best !

I’m 70 years old and have a 20 year old butt right now! Dr stephen Coccaro performed a self-augmenting buttocks lift and even without implants, having my sagging skin removed, my buttocks are now firm and smooth and shapley. Its like a tummy tuck but on my back side. most of my back-fat disappeared too. I have a sleek and firm silloette. I look great. it really made a difference in my life and how I feel about myself and appearance.

I chose Dr. Coccaro after getting several consults, I couldn't be happier with my decision. He performed a hernia repair, tummy tuck and liposuction in several areas with precision. Recovery was easier than I anticipated. This doctor is not only amazing, but the nicest, most patient doctor I have ever encounter. Never loses patients with endless questions, full explanations. Office staff very accommodating. I highly recommend him.

I was referred by my surgeon to Dr. Coccaro for post surgical wound care. I was aware of his exceptional surgical skills since my husband and son were both previous patients.. He takes the time to explain procedures and is willing to answer any questions you may have. I find Dr. Coccaro to be both professional and compassionate and would highly recommend him.

the tip of my left pinky got amputated Feb 21, 2015. Went to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital. Because the bone was showing the tip had to be re-attatched. Dr. Coccaro did such a fantastic job. He's kind, understanding and was patience with me. Which he needed that with me. Dr Coccaro did a fantastic job. You can't really notice that the tip was amputated. My nail grew back normally & it's the best nail that I have.
