My experience with Dr. Nykiel’ practice has been wonderful. All of the staff in the office are warm and friendly. With their guidance on the Semiglutide program, making better food choices, and exercise I’ve managed to lose over 40 pounds. Thank you all for your support!
Incredible Experience with Dr. Nykiel & His Team! I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Nykiel and his amazing team! From the very first appointment, I felt completely taken care of. Everyone was so kind, professional, and knowledgeablethey made sure I understood every step of the process and always took the time to answer my questions. I never once felt rushed or unsure. Pricing was great in my opinion too, since I had quite a few consultations done prior. I booked my surgery the same day of my consult! I knew I was in great hands. The day of surgery was smoother than I ever expected. The atmosphere was calm and comforting, which really helped with my nerves. The procedure itself was quick, and I felt confident knowing I was in such capable hands. Recovery has been surprisingly easy. I only needed pain medication for the first couple of days, and by day three, I didn’t need anything at all. The results are already amazing, and I’m so happy I chose Dr. Nykiel for my breast augmentation. If you’re thinking about getting this procedure done, I highly recommend him and his team. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel safe, informed, and completely supported from start to finish. With having a natural looking(but bigger) goal, Dr Nykiel made sure the keep that in mind with every discussion. I couldn’t be happier with my results and it’s only been 2 weeks!
I am officially two weeks post-op and couldn't be happier with my results! Since my first consultation, to my post-op appointments, I have known I was in excellent hands. Dr. Matthew J Nykiel took the time to listen to my goals and review before-and-after photos with me. He was very thorough discussing different implant sizes and types and never made me feel rushed. I have always wanted to get a breast augmentation and lift to correct my asymmetry and sagging breasts due to breastfeeding and Dr. Nykiel was transparent about what was realistically achievable for my body type and thoroughly explained the procedure and recovery process. His entire team has been amazing! I loved how they always patiently answered all of my questions and kept in contact with me throughout the entire process. Every visit was a pleasant experience because the staff was so kind and professional. Dr. Nykiel surpassed all my expectations, and I am extremely appreciative of his outstanding work. For anyone on a similar journey, I strongly advocate for Dr. Matthew J Nykiel. He is an outstanding Board certified plastic surgeon with a caring demeanor and a staff that will provide reassurance, expertise, and kindness throughout your entire experience.
I’ve been a patient here for some time and I can honestly say this is the most welcoming and professional medspa I’ve ever been to. The front desk team is always so kind, organized, and accommodating—you instantly feel at ease the moment you walk in. I primarily see Trish for injectables and aesthetics, and she is truly exceptional. She listens carefully, never pushes treatments, and always prioritizes natural-looking results. I really appreciate how thorough she is in explaining every option, making sure you feel informed and comfortable before moving forward. She has an incredible eye for detail, and I’ve always left feeling like the best version of myself—never “overdone.” I also see Eva regularly for facials, and she is equally amazing. She is so gentle, detail-oriented, and takes her time to customize the treatment for your skin’s needs. Every facial feels like a reset for my skin—my complexion always looks refreshed and glowing afterward. This office is the perfect balance of professionalism, expertise, and warmth. If you’re looking for a medspa where you’ll feel cared for, educated, and confident in your results, I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel is an incredible Doctor and a genuinely kind person. From the very first consultation, he took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I felt comfortable and informed about every step. He’s not only highly skilled but also very approachable and honest, which made me feel like I could really trust him. His team is just as amazing. Amanda was wonderful in helping me get started and patiently answered all of my many questions. Trish is so knowledgeable and makes every visit feel easy and stress-free. What stood out the most is that no one here tries to upsell or push unnecessary treatments. They truly care about what’s best for you and listens to all your concerns. Dr. Nykiel and his team are the real deal, and I couldn’t recommend them more!
The staff here rocks and are so helpful with whatever your goals are. Have had procedures with dr.nykiel in the past and have medspa visits with trish and love it all. For semi glutide-Side effects were minor at the beginning, headaches the first few weeks and on the 2nd month dosage the nausea hit me hard for 2 days but havent had any side effects since then. Tapering off now and about to start the last dosage back down to .25 and have not gain any weight back which is fantastic, even with some cravings coming back. I make healthier choices on snacks and portion control and seems to be working for me.
I am six weeks post breast augmentation and couldn’t be happier! My experience with Dr. Nykiel and his team was absolutely amazing. From the very first consultation, he took the time to listen to my goals, explain my options, and make sure I felt completely comfortable. His professionalism and eye for detail gave me so much confidence going into surgery. The procedure and recovery went so smoothly, and his staff was supportive and attentive every step of the way. The results are beyond what I imagined—natural, beautifully proportioned, and exactly what I had hoped for. Choosing Dr. Nykiel for my breast augmentation was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Nykiel on four separate occasions, and each experience has been exceptional. Dr. Nykiel’s expertise, precision, and commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect of his work. His results are consistently natural, refined, and exceeded my expectations each time. Beyond his surgical skill, Dr. Nykiel is professional, compassionate, and genuinely attentive. He takes the time to understand your goals, thoroughly explains all aspects of the procedure, and ensures you feel informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. His staff reflects the same level of professionalism and care, making every visit smooth and stress-free. Dr. Nykiel has earned my complete trust, and I am truly grateful for the care and results I have received. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking the highest standard in plastic surgery.
Dr. Nykiel and his staff are simply AMAZING!!! Being a mom of three boys and breastfeeding all three, my body needed some work. I wanted and needed a Tummy Tuck and I wanted full breasts!!! So the research began and I found Dr. Nykiel. From the consultation to Pre Operative to Surgery and Post Operative appointments the process has been exemplary. Thank you to Dr. Nykiel, Krista, Marie, Erika, Amanda Vanessa and additional staff members for making my dream possible!!! I will be definitely recommending to all my friends, family and colleagues.
I’ve had nothing but the best experience with Dr. Nykiel and his practice. I was looking for a breast augmentation and had no idea where to start. I looked into a few doctors in my area and found Dr. Nykiel and his practice. I had a few consultations with other doctors, but after researching Dr. Nykiel and reading all the great reviews, I decided to meet with him. He’s board-certified and has a lot of experience, and I just felt like he was the right person for me. From the moment I walked in for my consultation, the staff was so kind and attentive. They always had a great smile and made me feel welcome. Dr. Nykiel took his time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. He was very caring and made me feel safe and comfortable. I decided to go ahead and schedule my surgery that day. I had my surgery on June 26th and I’m about four weeks post-op. My healing has been great, and the staff has been amazing in checking in on me. Dr. Nykiel has also checked on me many times since the surgery. I’ve met with him in person and he’s so reassuring that everything is going the way it should. I’m so excited for my results! I can’t wait for the healing to continue. I’ll definitely be coming back for other procedures in the future, and this will definitely be my go-to place. I want to thank the staff and everyone there for all their help and support.
