Incredible Doctor, Extremely Knowledgeable
He really knows his craft, especially when it comes to breast augmentations. He's definitely on the conservative side and will point out things other doctors won't even realize. I am very happy with my results and his entire team is incredible. He is truly one of the best.

Completely Trust
I chose Dr. Teitelbaum a year and a half ago for my brachioplasty. The surgery went incredibly well, his office was amazing, and even the anesthesiologist was top-tier (no soreness in my throat at all!). I unfortunately developed an infection that impacted the scars—which was absolutely not the doctor's fault. He was fantastic about managing it, and we will be doing a scar revision shortly. Because of that experience, I decided to trust him with my upcoming breast lift and tummy

Incredible Experience and Results
I had a breast augmentation just over a month ago with Dr. Teitelbaum, using the Preserve technique. I’ve been absolutely blown away through every step of the process! I wanted something natural that would fit my body while making me feel more feminine and confident. My results are amazing. The entire process and recovery have been seamless and I am so, so happy with my results. I would absolutely recommend (and have recommended) to my friends. If you’re looking for the best,

Best Results!
I am beyond happy with my lipo results! I am naturally pretty thin but have always carried a tire around my middle and flanks. After losing 20 pounds and still looking at the waist and back fat I decided to finally get it handled. I cannot believe I waited for so long to this. It was relatively easy, no pain, just some tenderness and lots bruising .I wore compression garment for 6 weeks which felt good to me. I could the results pretty quickly and now 3 months later ,I am ecstatic!

Amazing Process Start to Finish!
My experience at Dr. Teitelbaum office from my first consult to my most recent post op visit has been nothing short of incredible. I was very well prepared leading up to my surgery date and the day of was a much more easy going process than I had anticipated. Everyone in the office was very kind and knowledgeable each step of the way, which took out a majority of any surgery related anxiety I had. I am so satisfied with my results and the recovery process sped by very quickly.

Breast Reduction and Lift - A Very Happy Patient
I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my breast lift and reduction. I am so much more comfortable every day. My bra strap is not pulling and leaving an indent on my shoulder anymore and my headaches have lessened since the surgery. Dr. Teitelbaum is a true artist and a compassionate doctor. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. His expertise and the care of his entire team were exceptional. I highly recommend Dr. Teitelbaum to anyone looking for

Five Stars from an Anxious Patient
I am writing to give Dr. Teitelbaum and his staff my highest recommendation and sincere thanks. I am an attorney and I sue healthcare providers. This makes me extremely picky about my doctors and cautious about the procedures I undertake. This is why I chose Dr. Teitelbaum: • He came highly recommended by two separate board-certified physicians. • He works with an anesthesiologist he has known and trusted for decades. • My procedure was performed in his own surgical center,

Breast Augmentation & Fat Transfer from Hips & Outer Thighs
I am SO happy with my results and I did hours of due diligence. I was previously an A. 6 doctors consultations, a spreadsheet to cross reference and I am so glad I picked Dr. Teitelbaum. He was honest in what he was able to perform based on my body type, intelligent and listened to my concerns. He dictated notes after the consultation which made me feel that he listened. He was very natural which was the result I wanted. The doctor and nurses were punctual and professional.

Short version: Mid-40s female; 1 month post capsulectomy and breast implant exchange to correct capsular contracture. I am shocked by my gorgeous results, and have been treated like a VIP throughout the entire process by Dr. Teitelbaum and his caring, professional team. I would highly recommend Dr. Teitelbaum's practice to a friend or family member with zero hesitation. Super long version: I am NOT an easy patient for any doctor.

True Artist Doctor + Very Happy Patient
My experience with Dr. Teitelbaum exceeded any and all expectations I've ever had of plastic surgery. I've always been somewhat skeptical of any procedures but I wanted a small breast augmentation pretty much my whole life. The quantity and quality at which they perform instilled a lot of confidence in me, from the confidence that was exuded from the office. The consultation, procedure and healing all happened so fast or truly amazes me. Dr. Teitelbaum is a master of his craft
