Dr. Schlesinger with His Kind & Qualified Staff Gave Me my Life Back! - Honolulu, HI
Posted by happynhawaii
"Thank you" does not express the gratitude my gratitude my family and I have for Dr. Schlesinger. After 2 botched surgeries & over $15,000 with a different plastic surgeon, I was referred to Dr. Schlesinger being told, "He is the best in his field". I am still recovering, but can honestly agree with that statement. His knowledge on new procedures, skill level and ability to always reassess what is currently relevant to my personal situation is remarkable. No question or worry is too small for him to answer & explain. His post-surgical care is where I have been most impressed with countless free visits to ensure a successful result. Dr. Schlesinger, Jenna & Jennifer continue to take extra care to monitor all aspects of my healing and make my appointments feel like a visit with friends vs. a tedious doctors exam. I can already see the day that I am sitting on the beach no longer ashamed, embarrassed or in pain, and that is all thanks to Dr. Schlesinger and his amazing staff correcting the mistakes of a less qualified plastic surgeon. I can only wish that I had found Dr. Schlesinger first and for that I would recommend that anyone even thinking of doing anything, take advantage of his fee consultations and see for yourself.

Overall, a fantastic experience. My body looks great, the surgery went great and I healed without any issues. He is obviously very experienced in what he does. I had a liposuction in my back, abs, inner and outer thighs, inner knees and hips as well as a BBL. I'd definitely come here again and I recommend this doctor to my friends.

I chose Dr. Schlesinger after having consultations with other Doctors. The moment I met him I knew that he was the one I could trust without hesitation. I first met with Dr. Schlesinger because I wanted to live the rest of my life without the crippling insecurities that consumed so much of my energy. The moment I met him, I knew that he was sincerely invested in helping me overcome these struggles. He was honest about the expected results and optimistic that he could give me what I was hoping for. The results of his work have changed my life. For the first time in my entire life, I love my body. I am proud of the way I look. The incredible results from the Liposuction to my abdomen, thighs,waist, and butt have literally set me free from the debilitating insecurities I once had. Dr. Schlesinger is amazing.

I gave Dr. Schlesinger 5 stars for my wonderful experience. If I could give him an extra star for having a fabulous staff I would! I had consultations with a few diffferent plastic surgeons in Oahu but never felt very comfortable until I had my consultation with Dr. Schlesinger. He answered all of my questions and eased all of my fears about surgery. He was also very helpful with sizing although the finaly desicion was my own. He wasnt even upset when I changed my mind about what size I wanted to be and he had to squeeze me into his busy schedule for a 3rd consultation! If I ever wanted or needed another surgery Dr. Schlesinger would be my first choice. It has been a wonderful experience thanks to Dr. Schlesinger and his amazing staff. Obviously, I would reccommend him to anyone who is interested in changing their life through plastic surgery.

The doctor and staff were all friendly and attentive. They always remember you and details about your procedure. They seem to genuinely care about their patients and ask questions about their lives. Dr. Schlesinger's work is amazing and he goes to great lengths to make sure his patients are happy and well after their procedure. I Have already recommended dr. Schlesinger to my friends and I would recomend him to anyone wanting plastic surgery. Dr. Schlesinger and his staff were readily available to answer questions throughout the process, which was very comforting.

Perfection - Honolulu, HI

Dr. Schlesinger was recommended to me by two other people, and I'm so glad that I listened to them and chose him as my PS. From day one, I have been treated with respect by him and his entire staff. Even more importantly, I am so pleased with the results of his work. For years I wanted to get surgery and just never did it. So I finally chose this doctor, he did the surgery, and now I feel like a whole new person; it really changed my life. I went to a few other consultations before choosing Dr. Schlesinger. They seemed competent and likeable enough, but not even close to Dr. Schlesinger. For anyone considering plastic surgery, I would recommend them talking with this doctor. I know you'll be as happy as I am.

Five stars for this doctor, absolutely!! The only reason I rated "Wait Times" four stars is because once in a while there is a wait at his office. However, the reason, I'm sure, is because he is a popular surgeon and more importantly, he spends the time needed with each patient to answer their questions. So really this isn't a complaint, just a comment.

I could not be luckier or have had a more amazing experience then I've had so far with Dr. Schlesinger and his staff. I gained so much trust and respect for him right away after he was exactly on point about the ways in which my nose could be improved, which resulted in as perfect a nose as I think can be accomplished. I've actually had several procedures now with Dr. Schlesinger, and the results of each are as perfect as the next. Dr. Schlesinger genuinely cares about his patients, is extremely knowledgeable, and is a highly skilled surgeon. He doesn't hesitate to give you an honest upfront assessment or answer to your questions. The entire journey has just been wonderful.

I researched him on the interet and was very impressed with his experience. From my first phone call on, Dr. Larry and his staff were amazing. I had a neck lift, face lift and lip lift. Dr was so wonderful before, during and after my surgery. His suggestions as to what he thought I would be happy with were nothing short of perfection. I had to fly to oaha and his team went over And above helping to make my stay easy. I love my lip, especially since I never had one! My neck was something that had bothered me all my life,now I have a jaw line! With the face lift, even tho I'm still swollen, I feel 10 years younger. I will recommend him to everyone.

A friend of mine and I talked about getting plastic surgery. She made her consult appointments right away and convinced me to finally make mine. After meeting with Dr. Schlesinger and two other doctors, I felt that my consult with Dr. S. was the best! He takes the time to sit and listen to your concerns and explains the details of the surgery and which procedures will work best for you individually. The office staff also makes you feel important and well taken care of each and every time you enter the office. I personally appreciate, Jenna, the patient care coordinator who accompanied me during my consult and made me feel very comfortable from the very beginning and has been my "go-to" whenever I stressed out before surgery day or any questions I've needed answered since then.

Overall Dr. Schlesinger is a great doctor and I thank him for everything he has done for me.

I attended two of Dr. Schlesinger's seminars and was recommended by multiple friends. I have been a patient of Dr. Schlesinger's for many years - seven years ago I had a facelift, tummy tuck and liposuction. Following that, I had a breast augmentation and now I come to see Dr. Schlesinger for facial injectables. All of my surgery outcomes have been superb and beyond my expectations. His artistic ability is clear each time I come to see him for various facial injectables. Dr. Schlesinger is extremely caring and also professional. He takes the time to address all of your concerns and is extremely thorough in all that he does. His staff is fabulous and I would recommend (and often do) Dr. Schlesinger's practice to anyone. I am now pleased with my body and more confident in the way I look. I know I could not have achieved the fantastic results I did without Dr. Schlesinger's help and expertise.

Good Experience Considering You Just Let Someone Beat the Crap out of Your Body - Honolulu, HI
Posted by Lmb2013
Liposuction
Lipo isn’t just for people who are conventionally considered overweight. Just because your 5’4” 137 lbs doesn’t mean you don’t struggle with weight and body image too. How many times have you heard “oh you don’t need to lose weight” in a condescending tone or you feel embarrassed when you need to explain why you watch what you eat only to look around the room and see aversion on the faces of other females. But the truth of the matter is clothes hide a lot (why else were they invented other than to maybe prevent sunburn on the unmentionables). It’s not what everyone else sees but what we see when we are standing in front of the mirror naked. Some people can carry a bit (or a lot) of extra weight and still be bold, beautiful and sassy. I unfortunately am not one of those people; my back looked saggy and my stomach was depressing. After years of frustration that healthy diet and exercise just wasn’t working Dr. Schlesinger finally allowed me to give myself a break. Maybe you need to give yourself a break too. I’m glad I did.

My breast cannot look any more natural and my stomach and legs look phenomenal. I now feel more secure in my own body and feel like a real women. Dr. Schlesinger went above and beyond to make my experience one of a kind. I really got to know him and vice versa. He knew exactly what I was looking for and went the extra mile to make sure I got exactly that.
Trust Him with my Life! - Kailua Kona, HI
Posted by Thankyoudoc
I highly recommend Dr. Schlesinger and his staff. I met with one doctor whom I did not feel comfortable with at all. A few months later a girlfriend of mine recommended Dr. Schlesinger. I met with him and immediately felt at ease. I continued to feel more and more comfortable as he started communicating with my other doctors and coming up with a game plan so that I could move forward with my procedures without any concerns. By the time I finally had the procedure, I was completely confident that I was in safe hands. Not only was there so much extra care taken before the procedure, but after the procedure Dr. Schlesinger continued to give me over the top attention. There was one night when he called me right up until 10:00 pm and then called me the following morning at 5:58 am. I don't think anyone could have shown genuine concern more than he did. You can definitely tell that Dr. Schlesinger takes pride in what he does and that he has tremendous skills. If anyone is considering having some upgrades done to their body, I wouldn't suggest having anyone else perform them than Dr. Schlesinger and his staff, they truly are the best!

Facial Reconstructive Surgery
I needed the help of a Cosmetic Surgeon for a recent facial injury as a result of a dog attack to the face. Dr. Larry Schlesinger has been there for me. He is the consummate surgeon/specialist,...but that is not exactly what I mean. He has been there FOR ME! He has gone above and beyond my expectations as a physician. He continues to demonstrate that he truly cares about me. His empathy, and concern for me before, during, and after my procedures has been remarkable, and memorable. I will never forget his kindness and care. He has promised to stay with me until I am completely satisfied with the results. No matter how long it takes. One of the most significant attributes that Dr. possesses is that inspite of his wealth of experience and knowledge, he is always keeping up to date and open to new techiniques. He is not only a wonderful doctor, but a wonderful person. I find it difficult to find the right words to express my gratitude. I have complete trust and confidence in Dr. Schlesinger and highly recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.

Everything excellent. Reason for wait time only being 4 stars: Dr. S has a lot of customers and takes necessary time with his patients. If your appt is later in day, expect delays because there are a lot of patients and I know some will take more time than allocated. How I resolved and why I don't have to wait: I secure earliest possible appt in the morning :) Key point I want to emphasize: I get responses from Dr. And staff even if I'm inquiring on a Sunday, 6am in the morning, or after normal business hours. Top notch sincere quality service. Genuine care, responsiveness, and attention by entire staff excellent. Motivation: improve personal appearance. I did quite a bit of internet research and made some individual calls and email inquiries to come to final conclusion with selecting Dr. Schlesinger. Anything in question, I questioned. What I wish I knew beforehand was how intensive this procedure is, most women I've talked with or read about on blogs, and sites about the procedure don't talk about, look for, or are prepared for the post operation impact prior to having the procedure done. My thought is it's because they're so stoked about the end result (if results are favorable) they forget about the details of recovery.

I did some research and I found that he is the best. He is a very good doctor. I am really happy with the results. Also, he knows what he has done. Overall I am reallly grateful that I chose him as my doctor. I will certainly recommend him to others. The things that I have complain about is the time waiting in the office. However, I realize that he is a very busy one and he gets tons of patients to see.

But when it's your turn, he answers all of your questions or any of your concerns that you have.
