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.

Preparation for surgery.

I was happy from start to finish with Dr Sclafani. He explained very clearly what he was going to do regarding the closure after my MOHS and an upper bleth. I had the surgery at NYP- Weill Cornell and Dr Sclafani and the whole team were phenomenal!! ( his secretary Julia is lovely as well.

I am so glad I found Dr. Sclafani to do the second stage of Mohs surgery on my nose. I am certain, if it weren’t for his excellent care, I would have been permanently disfigured. His follow up care is also exceptional, as he continues to work to achieve the best outcome possible.

Great Doctor
This man is a very talented and down to earth Plastic Surgeon. I had skin cancer removed via mohs surgery and then he did the closing up the next day under anesthesia. Both spots on my face. One week and it looks amazingly great. He took stitches out two days ago. He is a great communicator. Great personality and not in a rush when talking to you!

Repair of torn earlobe
Dr. Sclafani is an excellent doctor. I went to him to have a torn earlobe repaired. He did a great job repairing it, explaining everything beforehand and answering all my questions along the way, in a friendly, easy manner. I even opted to have the second earlobe done (it had stretched out), in order to get the best possible symmetry between the 2 ears. I am so glad to be able to wear pierced earrings again after many years of putting off the surgery and I highly recommend Dr. Sclafani.

Consultation
After reading Dr. Sclafani's reviews, I was very impressed. So, I decided to make an appointment to discuss a facelift revision. I made the right choice. Dr Sclafani took the time to explain all of my concerns. His knowledge, listening skills and patience were outstanding. There was no pressure to make an immediate decision, and I left the appointment with all the information I needed to think about my options. Dr. Sclafani is a true medical professional.

Good Experience
Broke my nose in an accident and my regular ENT doc does not do that so referred me to Dr. Sclafani. Got an appointment within 5 days. Very caring, assessed the CAT scan I brought with me and took the time to explain. Thorough in his explanations and took time to answer all my questions. Was very reassuring. Really good experience. Lucky for me no further actions needed at the moment but he assured me that if I changed my mind as swelling went away I could get back in touch.

Incredible surgeon
Fourth Mohs surgery on my nose. Expected the worst as area was so compromised over time. Dr. Sclafani explained all options for repair in a reassuring, easy to understand manner. His presence on day of surgery was calming and all possibilities were explained. One week out and I could not have asked for better results. Even follow up appointments were quick but thorough. Must also mention what a joy it was to deal with the doctor’s surgical coordinator. She helped make a stressful time that much easier. I cannot say enough good things about this doctor.

He's the best!
Dr. Sclafani is the best! He’s the most effective communicator, incredibly detailed, always kind and helpful. He’s consistently thorough, patient, and supportive. I’m grateful that I was referred to him and feel confident in his approach to a very complex upcoming surgery. He’s also identified and resolved a long-term sinus infection that was causing me a lot of discomfort and pain over the past year. I’ve seen many providers for some of these issues but he’s the only one that immediately understood what was going on and quickly came up with an effective treatment plan. His team is also great! Julia has been very helpful and responsive throughout the process. Highly highly recommend!
