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.

Wonderful!
Dr. Antell and his staff are simply wonderful! Dr. Antells' skill and easy manner are exemplary, and the care and attention I received before, during, and after my procedure (lipoma removal) were everything I could have hoped for. All my questions were answered, all my anxieties assuaged. I knew I could call upon the doctor (or his capable staff) at any time during my recovery, which was a great comfort. Dr. Antell, thank you so much!

Double Board Certified Artistic Genius: The Best
I am now absolutely beautiful while looking like myself thanks to Dr. Antell. He is an artistic genius--far exceeded my expectations. I can't stop smiling in the mirror. His approach is to improve upon one's features without looking like you have had plastic surgery. Dr. Antell listened carefully, thoughtfully discussed my concerns and made specific recommendations that addressed my issues, made a few suggestions as it related to my physicality. I have no scars. He's a genius. The recovery was easy and comfortable. There is a reason why celebrities, high profile individuals and successful professionals quietly hire Dr. Antell to perform plastic surgery. Privacy, unbelievably conservative medical expectations, first class care. If you want to be significantly more attractive in a manner that looks natural with a surgeon who is safe, this is your plastic surgeon. He was recommended to me by a double board certified neurosurgeon. I don't think you can get a more qualified recommendation.

Keeps me coming back!
This man is thorough, honest, he listens, he explains, he’s patient, and gives his patients what they want but also what looks natural and what is safe. I’ve been treated by Dr. Antell twice. It’s been a long process of self-improvement to correct the mistakes of my past. I’m so glad I found him. I’m happy he’s part of my story of becoming more whole. Nurses and staff are attentive. You won’t regret coming to this practice. Give transparency and you’ll get it in return. No funny business. You get what you pay for—quality product and skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable professionals.

I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.
My experience with Dr Antell was a nightmare.. He ruined my life and I am lucky to be alive after he left 12 inches of dressing in my nose that went into my throat.. He is not honest.. I would not recommend anyone to go to this man.. Worst experience of my life.

I Agree
My experience was just as good as the previous reviewers’. I followed Dr Antell’s recommendations on a blepharoplasty with excellent results. Nurse Nancy and the staff were friendly and courteous, and the doctor was always available for follow-up, even on Mother’s Day.

Wonderful staff, excellent results!
Dr. Antell, nurse Nancy and the entire staff were wonderful from start to finish. They were attentive to all my questions, and I am exceedingly happy with the results of my gynecomastia surgery. The work they did was superb, and I recovered quickly and without any complications. I always felt that I could get in touch if I had any questions or issues. I now wish I had done this procedure a decade or two ago! Additionally, my anesthesiologist Dr. Krystyna Marable was also fantastic; highly competent and also very personable. I highly recommend Antell Medical!

I’ve had several minor and major procedures with Dr Antell and wouldn’t go to anyone else. He is honest, explains everything in detail and has a very gentle demeanor. As a health care professional myself, I have very high standards and he consistently meets them. His nurse Nancy and Office Manager Rosa are wonderful! The entire experience is calming and comfortable.

Excellent surgeon and staff
I recently had a surgery with Dr Antell in December 2023. From my consultation to my post-op visit, everything was excellent. The staff made the process go smoothly. I am an RN and have worked with many surgeons and Dr Antell is the best! Not only is he a skilled physician, but he has an excellent bedside manner. Nancy, his nurse was excellent and Rosa facilitated the scheduling of everything so easily. I highly recommend this doctor!

Excellent Overall Experience
Dr. Antell and his assistant Nancy were very professional, and they were also so warm. I went in for a small ear lobe repair procedure, but was very nervous. They went out of their way to make me feel safe and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Antell to anyone. Thank you to the whole team for making my experience as painless as possible!

Chin augmentation
I was always self conscious about my facial profile. I used to think my nose was too big; turns out , I had a weak chin! Dr. Antell did an amazing job at inserting a chin implant that looks very natural and balances my profile. He has an excellent understanding of facial balance and aesthetics. His staff are reassuring and attentive. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful! I had Breast Implant surgery with Dr. Antell over 10 years ago and now had Breast Explant surgery. Both experiences were wonderful. This procedure went smooth, and I felt surprisingly well post op. Pain was mild, and I did not need the antibiotics prescribed. I was also pleasantly surprised with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Antell.

Everyone at Dr. Antell’s office was pleasant, prompt, and so helpful. Dr. Antell is patient, kind and very good at explaining facts thoroughly. I have been to several dermatologists on the upper east side and this is the best experience I have had by far. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Saw Dr. Antell for lipoma removal and gynecomastia. Results were better than I hoped, confidence and comfort have never been higher. Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable staff. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, they genuinely cared and followed up often post-op. Dr. Antell is brilliant and there is no doctor I would recommend more than him.
