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.

Beware and steer clear
He performed an additional procedure that was unrelated to the surgery planned. This was done without consent and beyond his area of expertise. Dr E never mentioned the need for this procedure during the two preop exams and never mentioned the fact after post op in recovery. What started as a procedure on the face resulted in another on the neck and chest completely unrelated and involved removal of a gown. He caused pain, blisters and over 20 permanent marks on a body part unrelated to the agreed upon procedure, and failed to mention any of it until it was brought to his attention. Unprofessional for sure, creepy for certain.

He performed my breast reduction and continuously recommended that I be bigger than I want to be “proportional” which I felt was incredibly inappropriate. I wanted an BR so that I wouldn’t feel constantly objectified. Every interaction I had with this man was very rushed including right before the surgery. He tried to leave the pre op room without asking me to confirm my desired size, something he told me we would discuss at that moment. I never genuinely felt listened to. All my post op appointments felt as though I was an inconvenience, I had so many questions I didn’t have the opportunity to ask because he was always trying to leave after a minute or two. That being said, i had no complications and he did a good job, just much larger than I would have liked.

Neck Lift Issues
Dr Evangelisti preformed a neck lift last year leaving a deformity on the left side of my head. I also have permanent nerve damage. The neck left did not even fix the sagging skin under my chin… The issue I had visited Dr Evangelisti for. Multiple surgeons I visited to fix it said..the left side was done completely different leaving the fold. This surgery was not done completely. Dr Evangelisti would never take responsibility. I have now had two surgeries to fix it….I still have nerve damage.

Dr. E did a phenomenal job on my breast augmentation. He was very professional and made me feel very comfortable about my decision. He explained the procedure in detail and made professional suggestions that correlated with what I aspired to have. My recovery time was a lot quicker then I expected. I was up and walking around within a couple of days. I highly recommend getting the pain pump as well. Thank you Dr. E!

I had a breast reduction back in September. From start to finish I was treated with respect, warmth, and kindness. Professionalism at its highest. Dr. E changed my life and the way I feel about myself. My scars are almost gone and my breasts look natural and incredible. "He and his staff are the best"

A desire for renewed confidence was the most significant reason for reaching out to Dr Evangelisti. The entire staff is professional, responsive and very warm. Dr. E himself is extremely kind and modest. You always feel his attention is on providing the best treatment for your issue. I am extremely happy with the results of my lower face lift and my confidence has returned. I have recommended Dr. E to many of my friends. i really thank Dr. E!

I recently had surgery by Dr Evangelisti. The process from beginning to end was efficient and thorough. I felt safe & very well cared for throughout the surgical experience. Further, I am very pleased with the results, and feel he is a highly skilled & talented surgeon. I would not go any where else for related surgical needs. Mary Ann, Nurse Practitioner.

What an incredible experience I had... I consulted with multiple surgeons in the area before I decided to proceed with Dr. Evangelisti. I was extremely nervous until I met him and his staff. I had my breast reconstruction completed a little over 4 months ago, and could not be more happy. My family and I are very thankful to have met Dr. E.

Unlike the wonderful reviews on this site, I not only had botched work done by Dr. Evangelisti, but he refused to repair his work, instead blaming my anatomy. I was initially pleased with him but once surgery completed, I received nothing but heartache.

I have had breast augmentation and liposuction procedures with Dr. Evangelisti. I am thrilled with the results, Dr. E is truly skilled. Dr. E and his entire staff are extremely warm, caring and professional. They each take the time to answer EVERY question in a thoughtful way and never rush through an appointment or a follow up phone call. Dr. E and his staff provide an environment of health and healing with step-by-step instructions to help ensure the best surgical outcome.
