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 Quatela took the time to discuss with me what he proposed to do and answer my questions. He checked to make sure I was okay during the injections. The resullts are just what I hoped. Front office was friendly and helpful. I had practically no wait time.

Thrilled
I’m thrilled with my new youthful appearance. Dr. Quatela did a fabulous job with my face and neck lift along with a temporal lift. I’m so happy that my family physician Dr. Roopa Korni highly recommended that I have Dr. Quatela do my surgery. She had seen the great results Dr. Quatela had done on one of her other patients. I highly recommend Dr. Quatela and all of his wonderful staff.

Dr. Quatela is absolutely SUPERB and by far the BEST plastic surgeon you could ever ask for. I have been under his care for years and couldn’t be more pleased. He is compassionate and truly cares about his patients and their needs. His expertise is second to none! He has given me a more positive outlook on life and improved my self image. If I could rate him Ten plus plus I would! You couldn’t possibly be in better hands!

June 22, 2021 Early in Dr. Quatela's career (1990), I presented with a broken nose (from childhood) that had grown very crooked to block my breathing. Admittedly, it was also long, thin and had a noticeable bump. Dr. Quatela did rhinoplasty to correct my breathing and make subtle changes to the appearance of my nose. I could not be happier with the result, and I can honestly say it was a painless procedure. Any discomfort was addressed with medication and the recovery period was surprisingly short. Friends who have had the same procedure with others enjoy sharing details of their trials. I’m the smug one who remains silent. Recently I returned to Dr. Quatela’s care. I decided to stop pulling at my face, remove the bags under my eyes and tighten up the wrinkles and sagging skin near my mouth. What a difference! The outcome is even better than I expected. In recovery I made huge strides every day. I am very pleased and most grateful for the doctor's amazing skill.

I am from Rochester, NY. I had a facelift done by Dr. Quatela back in July, 2020. I happened to talk to many ladies that told me that Dr. Quatela was the person to see for a facelift. He came very highly recommended. Everyone from the very start were very kind. The place is beautiful and clean. I was having a hard time in my life at that time and Dr. Quatela was so supportive every time i saw him. He did a fantastic job!! I wish i had it done years ago. If you did not know me there is no way you can tell that i had it done. I absolutely love it! It made a huge difference! Great place!

Dr. Quatela and his staff are amazing! I had the best experience. I am 53 years old and recently divorced from a 30 year abusive marriage. My face showed all the worry and pain over the years. I felt like I had lost 30 years of my life. It took some time for me to get enough nerve to get the facelift. Dr. Quatela was so kind and assured me which gave me confidence. After the surgery I could not believe the difference. It took 15 years off my face. I feel it gave me 15 years back to my life to start a new beginning and a beautiful life. Dr. Quatela is a wonderful Doctor I will forever be thankful to him for giving me this gift. All the staff including Brook, Santina, and wonderful interns. Thank you amazing!

I would recommend Dr. Quatela to anyone and everyone I know. He is a magnificent surgeon and an artist all in one. He has a great manner and listened to all of my concerns before and after surgery. His staff is lovely, professional and extremely friendly. If I had known the results were going to be so wonderful, I would have done this sooner. At 63, I look and feel my most beautiful, and that is a wonderful thing to be able to say. If you are looking to have any work done (necklift, facelift, under eyes, brow lift, etc.) he is the surgeon to entrust. I am so happy I did.

My son unfortunately inherited my father's large crooked nose (both Rhino and Septo) and we waited until he was 16 to have the procedure done to correct it. Of course, I spent a lot of time researching to find the best doctor to perform this very difficult operation. I could not believe the incredible results and how wonderful the entire experience was for my family. We are so very pleased. Thank you Dr. Quatela for improving my son's life- you are an amazingly skilled doctor

The right side of my nose needed to be reconstructed in 2016 following Mohs surgery (skin cancer) which meant the loss of most of the nostril and the area above it. Dr Quatela and his staff were informative and informed. The reconstruction of the left side in 1997 meant that the 2016 surgery was somewhat more complicated. Dr Quatela had to compensate on where to harvest the skin and inner workings of the new nostril. His confidence and explanation were reassuring, with good support staff.

Dr. Quatela performed a facelift, temporal lift, liposuction and skin resurfacing treatments on 2/28. The results are astounding. I look 20 years younger. Dr. Quatela is a kind and caring individual and a meticulous surgeon. This is not my first surgery with him. He reconstructed my nose more than 20 years when it was damaged by another doctor in a failed septoplasty. Dr. Quatela leads by example and his staff are courteous and professional. Lindsay House is beautiful, immaculate and convenient

Dr. Quatela performed two hair transplants (FUE and FUT), an upper blepharoplasty and a mid face lift on me. I am very particular and do not give credit where it is not deserved. Dr. Quatela did an absolutely amazing job on each of these procedures. I couldn't be happier with the way I was treated and my results. I have recommended Dr. Quatela to several friends and family members and will continue to do so. If you want the Best go to Dr. Quatela.

I would not recommend doctor quatela . He preformed rhinoplasty surgery on my nose. My nose looks awful. My nose looked pinched and turned up way too high. After two years of torture he agreed it wasn't right and preformed a tip revision. I'm still very unhappy with the results. It doesn't fit my face at all. Every appointment was at least a 30 to 60 minute wait. The office is run down and the furniture is dirty and old. Waste of money....
