Jeffrey Ptak, MD, FACS - Account Suspended

From the first consultation, surgery, follow ups, and the entire healing process my experience with Dr. Ptak and his office staff has been excellent. They are professional, caring, and compassionate. I had breast reduction with a lift and am extremely happy with my results. Dr. Ptak takes great pride in his work and is a man of his word. I chose him to do my surgery because I was impressed with his years of experience and his amazing reviews from other patients. I will never go to another plastic surgeon after working with him. If you are considering plastic surgery and are looking for the best of the best. I highly recommend Dr. Ptak.

Dr Ptak is an amazing plastic surgeon who is not only progressive but is also an artist. Over the last twenty years I have always been beyond happy and feel so lucky to have him as my surgeon. As I am aging, I like the options of nonsurgical procedures that help me build my own collagen like Morpheus8, along with FaceTite and fat grafting. These procedures are a game changer for the aging face looking for help with contour and laxity in the lower face. Fat grafting is an added plus to help with achieving natural and subtle fullness. Dr Ptak is meticulous and skillfully takes these new procedures to another level. The pros are amazing results with little to no downtime and the cons, are wishing I had done it sooner. Lastly, Renea and Kimberly, who I have seen for years and years, have also taken very good care of me. M.G

Dr. Ptak is amazing. His office and staff are welcoming and answer all of your questions. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ptak. He answers all of your questions and really shows he cares and is very skilled.

I met with Dr. Ptak twice before finally pulling the trigger on my surgery for Gynecomastia. I could tell right away he was a very educated and intelligent doctor and his accolades sort of speak for themselves. I was very nervous the day of surgery, I elected to do a local anesthesia / painkiller combo route for the surgery (instead of full knock-out anesthesia) and I was wondering about how much pain there would be during the procedure even though I was assured practically none. They were right. It turned out to be not that bad whatsoever. I basically didn't feel any pain except mild (maybe a 3 on scale from 1 to 10) towards the end of the surgery, which Dr. Ptak was always aware of my comfort level and increased local anesthesia when needed. Recovery after the surgery was pretty easy also and after only a month, I'm already happy with the results and I know they will continue to get better through proper post-op care. If you're thinking about getting Gynecomastia Surgery, I would highly recommend Dr. Ptak and also highly recommend that you should decide to do it if it's been weighing on you for years like it did with me. My only regret was that I didn't do this sooner.

Had the surgery almost a year ago and I am sooooo happy with the results. It definitely helped me not only physically but mentally be ready to continue to get back on shape and get the confidence I once had back!!! The staff is amazing and Dr Ptak was always straight forward and extremely professional! Thank you again

Before seeing Dr. Ptak, i was extremely nervous to have such an invasive surgery. After my consultation with him, I felt so much more at ease. He really made me feel like I was in great hands and I was so much more excited than nervous. My surgery and recovery went very well and my results are even better. I am so glad I chose Dr. Ptak as my surgeon and even happier with my body for the first time in my life!

I am a 69-year-old woman very experienced with cosmetic procedures. I feel that I could be considered an expert patient if there were such a thing. After extensive research, I chose Dr. Steve Ptak for my complicated requests. Of course, the fact that he has been on the best doctors list for many years did help with my decision. I found Dr. Ptak to be the kindest and most empathetic doctor I have ever been to. No doctor ever took so much time with me thoroughly explaining my procedure options, potential downsides, and what results I could reasonably expect. I was requesting a lot while stressing my need to stay within my budget. I wanted both arms as thin as possible, reduced back and armpit fat, and lastly a reduction of a thick ugly scar that curved perfectly under my breasts. (This is how they did heart surgery 50 years ago). After surgery, I was so overwhelmed when I first took my bandages off that I actually cried with joy and appreciation. The existing scar was halved and less visible, looking more like a tight bra line. It was my beautiful arms and loss of back fat that thrilled me so. At the six weeks post op exam, I barely mentioned that one arm looked a little smaller and smoother than the other. I could have lived with it because to me it would have been unreasonable to expect absolute perfection considering all that he did that was perfect. This wonderful man immediately scheduled me for the small repairs and didn't charge me a dime! I now knew that this amazingly skillful artist was a perfectionist and didn't want me to leave until I was totally thrilled with my results. I highly recommend just meeting Dr. Ptak, and you will see how his calming manner and unrushed consultation sets him apart from the others. I know that my search is over.

I'm a 30 something male and he performed a gynecomastia surgery on me. His bedside manner was great and calming. I didn't want to go under general anesthesia for an elective procedure, and Dr. Ptak had a great solution for me.Everything went exactly as I was told it would and the procedure was pain free. Very happy client!

I was told to undergo this procedure 3 years ago by my dermatologist. I wasn't ready at the time. This time around my Plastic Surgeon recommended it, stating that I would achieve the results I was looking for without undergoing major surgial procedures. I went into the drs office the late afternoon before treatment. Levulan was applied to my face with very little discomfort. Went home and slept with the product on my face. Went back to the Drs office the next morning to have the blu light therapy. This was the most PAINFUL cosmetic experiecne I have ever had. I was in instant pain. We had to do the treatment only a few minutes at a time, whiched eventually totaled 12 minutes. The pain I experienced was worse than natural childbirth, which I have done. It felt like my face was being torched. Below are before pictures, day of pictures, and day after pictures. I will continue to follow up giving my final review in a few weeks.

I researched several doctors before choosing 5 to interview for my procedure. Yes, doing your home work is crucial. I chose Dr. Ptak for a plethora of reasons. First, he is very thorough in his explanations. Second, his note worthiness in many publications and references. Third, his amazing techniques and staff. This review would be complete if I didn't say how wonderful and caring Marilyn is. I had something tragic happen to me when I was in my teens that caused me to want breast augmentation later in life. My results were phenomenal. Dr. Ptak' techniques were flawless. Now I feel confident in a swim suit. Once again do your diligence and a add Dr. Ptak to your "Must Visit list"
