Joseph Franzese, MD (license on probation)

I've purchased two rounds CoolSculpting on my flanks and get my first in two days but first about the office and consultation. The office is well appointed and offers great creature comforts as a coffee bar and cold drinks. The office staff is professional and efficient. DR FRANZESE is definitely knowledgeable and never seemed frustrated with my myriad of questions and concerns. I'm looking forward to the results and sharing my male perspective on CoolSculpting.

This is a no brainer. I was anxious for no reason. Everything was great. I had four cycles and napped through two of them. Erin made everything comfortable and relaxing. Dr. Franzese was engaging and patiently addressed my last minute questions and concerns. I had no pain and only minor discomfort.

Still early for results but no pain or itching. I still have slight numbness on flanks but not on abs. No more swelling either. Going for “after” pics in two more weeks. I’ll share photos then.

Dr Joe was very open and inviting. I didn't feel like he was selling me on anything. I left feeling better bout myself and decided on four applications of CoolSculpting. As good as his bedside manor was he should be most proud of his ability to hire the best medical staff I've ever encountered. Thanks Doc

I’m definitely seeing results. My weight is stable but I have more room around the waist. I just feel more comfortable in my skin.

I can definitely feel and see a difference in the treated and untreated areas. I’m very pleased and will continue with more treatments. The areas blend in well. I’ve had my second treatment on my flanks and this one was even more comfortable. I’ve had lipo on other areas and this is much better for a quick easy and effective body shaping. Easy as a haircut but the fat doesn’t grow back. Thanks Erin.

I had another round on my flanks but more towards the back. I’m not seeing much yet but I’m confident I will. Much less discomfort this time.

I had a great experience with dr. Franzese. I never felt so safe and secure with a doctor like I felt with dr. Franzese. He told me everything and gave me enough time to ask all my questions. He did the procedure perfectly no pain at all. I asked him to put some music for me and he did put my favorite ones. He operated on me with a smile. Finished with confidence and smiled and beautiful spirit all the time making his patients feel positive all the time and for me this was very important because I was totally scared, nervous, and intense. I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for me.

Today is my ninth day after the surgery so I decided to write this review about the surgery how it went, the effects and the feelings.

The surgery went very soothing. I took some seductive medicine before the surgery, and then the surgery begun 15 minuets I guess after that. I felt that the doctor didn’t take a long time. I didn’t look to the watch but I felt it was nothing like maybe 20 minuets max not sure. After the surgery (LITERALLY NO PAIN AT ALL) I dressed myself and walked out myself but I had to remember that I had a procedure and to take care of myself and to not do to many activities and to take the stairs slowly step by step not holding 10 pounds stuff or heavy stuff not pending no piking,and many stuff mentioned by the doctor to not damage the surgery. I took care of myself, eat healthy relax alot, and walk little by little. I feel the difference in the ninth and decide to write this first review to update the society of realself since it was my first was for me do discover all about dr. Franzese. But unfortunately there wasn’t alot of details about this procedure or the questions I had in mind before doing this surgery so I decided happily to share mine with you and maybe will help someone in my position. Dr. Franzese is so nice he is always with me all the time replies on my emails day and night, weekdays and weekends. He replies no more than 10 minuets. He evaluated you like a person with needs before and after the surgery. I can’t thank him enough. I got some pictures after the surgery and couples days after the surgery and the last one on the ninth day .

I got labiaplasty done by Dr franzese. The results were exactly what I wanted . I thought it was great he was so nice . I am happy I got it done. The pain was terrible and I couldn’t work for two weeks but it was worth it. I am so glad it’s done and over with. I finally feel comfortable about it.

Just had my liposuction procedure today! Dr Franzese and his team were very attentive and professional. The procedure was quick and easy and I felt NO PAIN! I will be coming back and referring all my friends!

Dr Franzese performed smart lipo on my inner thigh. Over twenty years ago I had liposuction that was botched. My inner thighs were very uneven and unsightly. Dr Franzese and his staff understood my issue and agreed that the only fix was lipo. Because my previous lipo was so uncomfortable, I was very anxious about a second surgery. Dr Franzese and his staff (amazing women) did their best to calm my fears. The procedure itself was very easy. I was awake of it and chatted with them the entire time. I am now one week out. The recovery has been easy with very little discomfort. More importantly, I'm tickled with the results. I can now wear a swimsuit without a skirt. I can wear skinny jeans without feeling self-conscious. During my consultations, surgery, and follow up, Dr. Franzese was kind and personable--not the usual superior Dr attitude. He and his staff are just good kind people--oh and the practice is really well run.

only one day post op, but the procedure went very well with very little pain, (oral pain medication of course) , staff very helpful, kind thoughtful, Doctor worked hard for about 5 hours, while I rested and napped. First night very little pain, still woozy from meds, second day, very reasonable discomfort, very very low pain. Only took tylenol. very surprising,

I had abdominal smart laser lipo 3 weeks ago, from the first time I enter this office I experienced A one service. The nurses and Dr. Franzese explained and answer everything so professionally during my consultation. The day of my procedure I was nervous, but Dr. Franzese assure me it would be ok. He was very careful to make sure my abdomen was completely even, and explained everything during the procedure. I am so happy with my results, of course you do have some pain afterwards but I realized that going in. The nurse made follow up calls to check on me. I would definitely recommend Dr Franzese.

I had smart liposuction on my back bra area down to flanks. I took 1 Valium and 1 percocet 1hr prior to my appointment. The procedure took approximately 7 hrs. I felt a pinch during numbing and that was it. It was sore and about a week later felt way better. Swelling tool almost 2 weeks to go down but no bruising. :)
I just went back on February 25th to have my lower/upper abs and flanks done. I will post pictures soon.
