I had a perfect deep plane facelift and neck lift outcome and an easy recovery at Split Rock. I traveled from the Midwest to have a deep plane facelift and neck lift with Dr. Neil A. Gordon who practices in Wilton Connecticut at his split rock surgery center and retreat. I researched surgeons for over one year and interviewed several across the United States before making my decision. Dr Gordon doesn’t advertise because he doesn’t need to. His advertising is consistently excellent results spread by word of mouth. He is the clinical director of head and neck surgery at Yale and double board certified in otolaryngology and facial and reconstructive plastic surgery. When I came to Connecticut to meet Dr Gordon, he explained what he does and discussed what would be best to return my face to what it used to look like before gravity set in. He said, I don’t want you to look like someone else; I want you to look like a refreshed version of yourself. And, I do! The Retreat at Split Rock is amazing located on 5 acres of lush rolling hills near Greenwich. All the staff ( nurses, patient coordinator, inn keeper are excellent. ) From my initial consultation with Patty, to my delicious meals custom-prepared by Christine and my perfect care from my nurse Maureen, everything was 5 stars! Unlike other surgeons, doctor Gordon performs 1 surgery per day and doesn’t have staff help him. He has nurses and a board certified anesthesiologist ( which is so great) in the room, but Dr. Gordon does all the meticulous work himself 4 days per week. Yes, it is expensive, but it is your face and you deserve the best outcome in the safest most comfortable environment. Thank you Dr. Gordon and Staff!!

AMAZING!!! Traveled from the West Coast per my Derm and found Dr. Gordon's team very supportive for someone who was alone and nervous. Anyone looking into this surgery should do their due diligence and research much deeper than any review!! I was put off by the lack of before and after photos online but decided after researching Dr. Gordon's background and trusted referral from my Dr. that I at least hear what he has to say.... Found my consultation more than I expected, making complete sense and was pleasantly surprised to be shown in person many before and after photos for reference. I love that I was the only surgery for the day and no one else participates but him! I realized by spending so much money on consultations and time vetting different surgeons that many do not tell you that they only do a portion of the surgery and have a fellow (that you never meet) working on you or stitching you back up!! Some do 3 and 4 a day!! I felt at ease knowing I was the only surgery for the day and I could recover right on premise at the inn (which was fantastic, thank you Kristine and Pamela) Dr. Gordon checked on me daily and the staff and nurses were available to answer any and all questions putting my mind at ease and making this a great experience for someone who had their first encounter with "plastic surgery"
