Craig Baldenhofer, MD

With doctor dr.b there so many thing I
I can say he’s one of the best doctor ever met when I first went to him I didn’t know my breast size when he asked me so I say I wear any size a bra just of looking at me he say you’re 38 triple D and I Brough me one bra 38 triple d and I was amazing I was surprised and I was like thinking in my head yes I am 38 tripple d For the first time I put my true size of bra just for 2 months. Make the story short before my surgery I was getting ready doing my physical, Waiting for my results before surgery boom come so I could not get surgery came out to be that I was anemic so I had to wait two months so I when on vitamin D shot and everything ready so everything when fine I did my two months of all my medicines I took my vitamins and then October 12 was my surgery date All my result came out fine so we went ahead and had my surgery the doctor was so nice ,I don’t have other words to explain him, he also did surgery on my sister a breast reduction and she happy with her result and me lost in words(happy beautiful no back pain now I can wear bottom down :-) the best

I first found Dr Baldenhofer in a facebook group about people sharing their experience with chin liposuction. I gave him a call and had a consultation with him. I was happy by Dr. Baldenhofer’s bedside manner and his transparency about the outcomes of the procedure. Most surgeons tell you unrealistic expectations to just make you preform the surgery, but what stood out to me was dr. Baldenhofer’s honesty about the process in seeing what my expectations were and how he can meet them.

The scheduling process was relatively easy especially I wasn’t from NYC, Elizabeth helped coordinate everything and helped answer all my questions. Even the day of my surgery, the dr was always present for me to send photos of my progress and ask questions, I am still in recovery its day 7 post chin liposuction and I already love the result. I totally recommend him for your beauty needs.

I went to Dr. Baldenhofer for a bilateral breast reduction. It’s been almost 6 months post-op. I never felt so good about my body before. Of course I still need to work on my stomach area but my breast limited me from doing a lot of things. I can finally imagine my ideal body with smaller breast. I’ve been growing my breasts since elementary school so imagine almost 15 years later, I’ve finally got the balls to get the procedure.

Before the procedure, I measure 38HH and now I can wear a 38D or 40C. I just hope with my continuous weight lost do not effect my new size.

Everything about my interaction with Dr. Baldenhofer and his team was amazing. His bedside manner was unexpected pleasing. Days after the surgery he even contacted my mother to see how I was doing. I remember one day I was freaking out about the pains and the healing process, I called his office and less than an hour later the Dr called me to reassure me that everything was okay and that if I needed to come in he’ll make time for me. Maybe it’s just me, but I never had a doctor take interest in my well being like that. On my 2 month post op appointment, I consulted the doctor on getting a BBL and liposuction and he told me he wouldn’t do the surgery on me because he believes that I can work my ass off to get my body where I want it to be. That statement alone made me believe that he is a not money hungry doctor to do a procedure he doesn’t agree with. And for that reason alone, I would always recommend Dr. Baldenhofer for his services. He still gonna do my BBL tho !

I went to Dr. Baldenhofer for a consultation in April 2018. It took me a bit of time to schedule the surgery. But after meeting with the Dr. I felt comfortable and each time I called the office - He always got back to me to answer all of my concerns and answer all of my questions. I am 25 years old. My breast reduction surgery has really been a life changing for me. I am looking forward to running (I really could not before the reduction) and getting into the best possible shape for 2019!

I am very happy to write this review about Dr. Baldenhofer. I had my surgery on 12/6/2017 and it was the best decision for me. I had no pain and no need for the pain meds that were prescribed. I am now back to work 2 1/2 weeks post op and I feel great. I would definitely recommend Dr. Craig Baldenhofer!!!

AMAZINGGGGG!!!!! I love this man not only did he change my life. I'm feel more confident now that I had my surgery..I got a Brest reduction Jan 24th 2017 and it was the best decision of my life. Dr. Baldenhofer was such a perfectionist and made me feel so comfortable. He checked on me the same day I was released home and days later..I thought that was awesome..I would recommend him to anyone..

Let me start by saying Dr. Baldenhofer is a great Plastic Surgeon. I went to his office after shopping around for a surgeon to correct/remove a Hemotma I had developed after getting surgery outside the USA (in Dominican Republic). I had no problem with my tummy tuck, except I didnt follow all my first surgeon's instructions. I developed a seroma and when that was resolved I developed a hemotma a month later.... to make a long story short, I had to find a Doctor in the States that would treat me. After an emergency room visit, I found a dr but he was more concern with re-doing my tummy tuck and insulting the first surgeon's work, when in fact she did a great job. I soon realized he was not being honest about necessary treatment therefore he was NOT the doctor for me. I shopped around and found Dr. Baldenhofer! My consultation was free, and very pleasant, he was upfront and honest with me about all possible and ideal treatments and risk...even if it meant not retaining me as a patient, he did not judge me for having surgery outside the country nor did he talk negatively about the doctor that performed my tummy tuck , he was impressed (I showed him pics). Dr. Baldenhofer told me we can wait and see if the hematoma resolve itself or remove it, after going over things with my husband, we decide the sooner its resolve the better. We scheduled the procedure which was within two weeks. Arlene, his surgery consultant is great with scheduling and communication; she was on top of things. After I made my payment for the procedure everything else fell in place. I am 4 days post op and has already seen Baldenhofer once (scheduled appt) I am scheduled to see him in 2 more days for the second time. He is a hands on Doctor, answering all inquiries urgency immediately. Right now I have lots of swelling but soon I will upload pics...before and after. My pain is minimum but can get hectic at times. I will be back in a few with more on my journey....extended journey. Lol

I've been an under ground rs member for some time now????.Now that I've finally made the decision to depart from my sag bags,I want to share the moments with you. I've seen 2 docs Scot Glasberg & Craig Baldenhofer both scheduled surgery for July 18 my insurance has the last say. I will keep you posted

Hi Ladies I made my final decision and I decided to go with Dr Craig Baldenhofer. I love his personality and his bedside manner was great. I also love his surgical assistant Arlene she is a sweetheart very pleasant and always available to answer my questions/concerns either phone or email. I bug her a lot and never once did she make me feel as if I was a pest even if I was????. Very pleasant. I know he'll deliver what I want don't get me wrong Dr. Scot Glasberg is an excellent surgeon however his bedside manner and non existence personality was one reason I didn't choose him. Also his surgical assistant Lisa and Secretary I believe her name is Diane had attitudes too .Lisa seem like she was annoyed at times when I asked certain qustions/concerns. I'm happy and content with my decision and I can't wait for my reduction.

I'm so excited Dr. Baldenhofer office submitted my case to my insurance yesterday afternoon and by this afternoon They already received the pre authorization. It only took about 2-3 months for the whole process because I needed a few doctor's to authorize me. My surgery is hopefully going to be at Winthrop Surgical Center I'll hopefully be his first patient that day. Can't wait 30 more days????

Schedule to have a breast reduction, I'm scared and excited at the
same time. Any ladies who can share their experiences or any advice will
be greatly appreciate. I'm starting to feel emotional as if I'm
secretly getting rid of an longterm friend or partner. I'm also worrying
about the surgery itself & the healing process

My breathing has been bothering me for a few days maybe because of the weather and my nerves. I can't wait for this to be over with. 2 more days to go.

I was at the center for about 11 hrs ( Anesthesiologist, surgery, and recovery). The staff was great from the beginning of my first initial meeting with Dr. Baldenhofer and his surgical coordinator Arlene to the very end the Recovery room staff. Dr. Baldenhofer made it so comfortable for me which put my fear of surgeries at ease. I was a little nervous when he mentioned the possibility of free nipple graft which he mentioned at the consultation. However Dr. Baldenhofer is so talented he did a beautiful job with my saggy balloons. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Trust me I'm not a easy person to please. I love my new boobs Thanks Dr. Baldenhofer for changing my life? I"ll post more photos as time goes on. Thanks ladies for all the support.

I'm not having any pain. My throat was extremely sore due to the breathing tube. I was extremely exhausted which is without saying. No real pain and I have a low tolerance for pain.

Constant lower back pain. Pain between my shoulder blades and neck. Sweat and breast discomfort. Always re-adjusting my breast to sit comfortably in my bra, which caused indents on my shoulders and a hump behind my neck. Inability to sit for long periods, stand for long periods and lay down as well.

I've been wanting a BR ever since junior high, my mom wouldn't let me.Years later I've done my research and found a board plastic surgeon, went for consultation, then I got an approval within a month, but since it was before the holidays, I decided to do the surgery after the holidays. Then Jan 12, it happened!
