I had been thinking about and talking about it for years to have a breast reduction. They were large and heavy. The older I got the more they hung, and my back, shoulder and neck pain continued to get worse from my body posture. A friend had referred me to Dr Palaia after her surgery and she was ecstatic with her results. I went for my consult, and new he was the surgeon for me, and I was then anxious and excited at the same time to get it scheduled. Bedside manner was pleasant,

Dr. Palaia and His Staff Are Amazing
Whenever you are thinking about surgery there is a tremendous amount of apprehension. Upon entering the offices of Dr. David Palaia all of those feelings disappeared. Dr. Palaia was easy to talk to with and answered all my questions. More importantly he took his time with me to explain the procedure. I would not go anywhere else for my plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Palaia and the people who work with him are warm, friendly and personable. This warmth and friendliness
Dr. David Palaia is an Excellent Reconstruction Plastic Surgeon
I had a double mastectomy, consequently I had Brest implants. I didn't have a good experience with the implants so I had to have them removed. Since then I have spent a lot of time searching for a doctor who can help me during this very difficult time of my life. My European background gave me the opportunity to consult with other doctors outside of the country which only brought me back here where I began. I choose one of the doctors that I originally consulted with, Dr. David

Exemplary cosmetic surgeon
I have had three cosmetic procedures over the years. Dr. David Palaia of Mt. Kisco, New York, performed the last surgery. He is in a different league than my prior surgeons. Dr. Palaia listened to me and truly cared about me as a person. Post-surgery, Dr. Palaia and his staff were always available to answer my many questions while recuperating. I am thrilled with the outcome and so glad I chose Dr. Palaia for this procedure.
You have chosen the best - Dr Palaia is an artist
Chances are you are reading this comment because you are considering Dr Palaia as your surgeon. I can assure you with a resounding “yes” that you will be absolutely thrilled with your results. While having a face lift was not my first surgery rodeo, I knew that when dealing with my face I did not want to settle for anything less than the best. I did my due diligence in researching the best possible surgeon. Dr Palaia was recommended to me by my dermatologist’s office.
Excellent Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Palaia is an amazing plastic surgeon. Having waited over ten years to make the decision to get a breast augmentation and abdominoplasty ie; the mommy makeover, I was very careful in choosing the right physician. Dr. Palaia was very understanding, and reassured me that he could address and fix the areas that I was so self conscious for so long. I am so happy with the results of my procedures, that I felt compelled to share my experience in a public forum. I must add that
Fantastic Experience with Dr. Palaia and his Staff
I first came to Dr. Palaia for injectables after seeing his excellent work on three friends. I was hesitant about surgery but realized the best and most financially beneficial outcome would be to have a mini facelift. I had the surgery in May of 2017 and couldn't be happier. Dr. Palaia and his staff are kind, professional and soothing. His work is impeccable and subtle. I am approaching 70 and wanted to look "rested," not pulled tight. I recommend him to anyone who is interested

45 Year Old with 2 Kids Needing a Breast Reduction and Lift with a Tummy Tuck
OMG....even I can’t believe the results. I love saying it "I LOOK FANTASTIC"! I was hesitant at first about going under the knife. I consulted with 3 doctors and went with Dr. Palaia. He was confident which made me feel comfortable and had a great reputation plus he worked out of a hospital and not an off-site facility. I took the bandages off after a week and couldn’t believe my eyes. It's like a lost 25 years. Minimal scars up and around in only a week. I'm over the
Excellent Surgeon, Professional, Subtly Stunning Results -- no one would know.
My mother had excellent results on an upper/lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Palaia early in his career, about 20 years ago. I always expected I would need it, too, but wasn't sure at what age. At 44 I started thinking about it and landed on age 46. I asked around quite a bit among people I know (including physicians) and Dr. Palaia was consistently recommended as doing excellent work -- namely, subtle and natural looking. My goal was to look like me, just refreshed, and 10 years
