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 do not recommend him at all.
I agree with what everyone of his patience that gave him a one star rating have said. I ended up having to go to another plastic surgeon to take care of the flat droopy pancakes that he gave me . I was so depressed after seeing my breasts for the first time hoping that they would get better but they got worse as time went on and now that I have them fixed I am happy as can be and they look great. I can not recommend Dr langstein . I have never in my life had to write a review like this but I feel I needed to so this wouldn't happen to anyone else.

I have recommended Dr. Langstein about 5 or 6 time
Exceptional!!!!! Hands down the best plastic surgeon around. He held my hand practically through the surgery. He did an amazing job!!!! Whenever I have my mammograms a tech always seem to comment on beautiful his work is. He is so caring, patient, gives you all the time in the world and never rushes you. He is truly Exceptional!

Do your Homework before trusting Dr Langstein... I wish I had done so. I had a double meniscectomy with reconstruction. I was not happy with the results at all. When I went back to let him know, he said to me "it is what it is!!!" My breasts look like to smashed pumpkins. I am so disappointed in how they turned out. While reading the other reviews, I came across a few saying he shows off in front of the students. Which is SO true. Once he gets his money, he could not care less about you. I would not recommend him.

NEVER! Extremely arrogant as well as the staff. RUDE, Showed off in front of the staff and students. The people that work there especially his assistants and the front desk are very Rude and all are very arrogant. Changed my schedules 3 times in ONE Day! The staffs from DIFFERENT Deparments Blaiming each other's Nobody takes responsibility and Got differ answers from ALL of Them. Only acted nice (1 time) prior of your decision, but after He Got paid THEN You are OBSOLETE. HE'D Ignored YOU after.

I thought it was going to be a great experience very attentive before surgery , after the surgery I never seen Landsteiner again Matter of fact I had 4 to 5 pre-med students around me not a good experience. I had a tummy tuck and lipo suction on my iner thighs Inner thighs look deformed worse than before I have this bulge in the center of my legs he said it was normal I was only 154 lbs not normal. Tummy tuck not what I expected at all.. Truthly I didn't know students would be working on me.
