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.

Dr. Scharf removed two moles around my eye, and you wouldn’t even know I had them now! He not only did a phenomenal job on the removals, but he made me feel very comfortable during both procedures. I look forward to getting the last two on my lower face removed, and will now do so with ease since the first 2 complicated ones were done so professionally. I am so much more confident with my appearance now! If you have any doubts about using this Doctor, please don’t! Thankyou Dr. Scharf!

After having a “botched” rhinoplasty elsewhere, I visited Dr. Scharf to see if he could fix my nose. He gave me several options including a non surgical one. I decided to give it a shot and I am so happy I did. My nose looks beautiful! I can’t thank Dr. Scharf enough for giving me back my confidence.

Thank you Dr Scharf for your expertise and precision results. I had a large mass removed from my ear which was disfiguring and now now it is gone without any perceptible scarring. I am grateful for your services.

I have only the highest praise for Dr Scharf who successfully corrected a poorly performed rhinoplasty from another plastic surgeon. I too had poor self esteem,but rather than attempting to trash someone’s reputation online, sought out the knowledge and expertise of a qualified surgeon and luckily found Dr Scharf. He corrected my nasal deformity and feel much better about my overall appearance . There are many talented plastic surgeons such as Dr Scharf so get help if you don’t like your results

Dr. Scharf is the best in the business!! I will never go anywhere else again! He takes the time to listen to you, and is unbelievably beyond talented. I have never seen anyone create with such precision and beauty and yet makes you look so natural! His attention to detail is superb. I had been to other plastic surgeons before for Fillers and Botox and was never fully satisfied with my results but after one visit with him I'm hooked! Thank you Dr. Scharf for allowing me to grow old gracefully.
