Steven Turkeltaub, MD

I was referred to Dr. Turkeltaub by a friend of mine who had a lift and breast augmentation performed by him. From the first appointment to my surgery follow up- I've had nothing but the best care. Shannon is very attentive and responsive when it comes to phone calls and emails. I emailed her several times a day and she replied to them in a timely matter.

The time she spent explaining the surgery process when booking my surgery date put me at ease. The receptionist Nelly is very professional and always nice. Now to Dr. Turkeltaub... Wow! I'm extremely happy with my surgery and the care I received. He sat down and explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I never second guessed any information I was given.

He was very straight forward and worked with me to ensure I was getting what I wanted and what would look best. I can't thank them enough for everything they have done for me. The staff are great, the surgery center was awesome and Dr. Turkeltaub is amazing! He will always be my first recommendation and the only one I trust with my body.

Things seem to be healing up nicely. I just started the scar cream. I am also using a skin lightening cream before the silicone scar cream. I go back in 3 months to see my surgeon.
My right breast is settling a lot quicker than my left and is less swollen. I am excited to see the full results in a few months.

It’s been two months after my surgery, and I am BEYOND happy with my results! I would highly recommend Dr. Turkeltaub or as I call him Dr. T to ANYONE looking for an amazing surgeon! Once you meet him, you’ll be thankful you found him too! I went to a few doctors for consultations and he is by far the best.

He cares about his patients and explains thoroughly the procedure and healing process. He doesn't give you any false expectations. The staff is warm, welcoming and kind. You’ll be very well taken care of. I’m grateful for my experience and plan on singing his praises to the world… my results are amazing!

AMAZING. Not only is Dr. Turkeltaub a very skilled and knowledgeable surgeon; he is compassionate and listens to his patients. Being transgender it can be scary to walk into a doctors office and worry about them using incorrect pronouns or not being “heard.” I never experience anything negative with my experience with him or his office staff. His bedside manner is one of the best I have ever experienced. My scars are minimal and my nipples look FANTASTIC. His office staff is also above and beyond with their care, communication, and ease of everything (you will have no worries with communicating with insurance etc) I’m lucky enough to live in Arizona so I did not have to travel to him; but if I did live somewhere else I would absolutely travel to Dr. Turkeltaub. There aren’t enough compliments or kind words I can say about his and his office’s knowledge, skill, and compassion.

I could not have asked for a better doctor nor surgeon than Dr. Turkeltaub. He exceeded my expectations with my breast reduction. I cannot recommend him enough. I feel and look fabulous!! Thank you!!!

From day 1 of my consultation with Dr. Turkeltaub I knew I would be in great hands and he gained my trust from day 1 based on his experience and knowledge and results he has provided other patients with! His team Shannon and Savana make you feel welcomed and make it a stress free environment and make everything easy for you. From day 1 of my consultation to Surgery day to my follow up visits I haven't had a bad experience or a stressful moment ever! Dr. Turkeltaub and his team in the office as well as his team at the hospital showed nothing but respect and always treated me with integrity and have always been professional, transparent and honest and welcoming. I'm truly thankful I chose Dr. Turkeltaub for top Surgery due to his experience and knowledge and his technique! My surgery truly changed my life and I can't thank him enough for that! Since surgery I have self confidence and self esteem and I can actually look at myself in the mirror or during my shower without feeling depressed and for the first time I don't start my day off with depression! I am 2 months post op and I didn't expect to see my results like he has given me until around maybe 6-7 months after surgery,I'm beyond happy with my results and to know they will get even better is amazing! My results truly exceeded my expectations and what I could have imagined. Seeing my chest for the first time a few days after surgery truly shocked me as I had no bruising and very minimal swelling! I never had any issues post op or during my surgery. I can't thank Dr. Turkeltaub enough for a life changing Surgery and I can't ever put into words how this surgery and my results have changed my life completely and has allowed me to finally feel happy for the first time in life,so thank you! And again thank you to all of his staff they have been nothing but amazing and supportive.

FTM transgender man . Top surgery. Couldn’t say thank you enough to Dr.Turkeltaub in Scottsdale AZ!! Highly recommend Dr. Turkeltaub for the best results !!!
I’m truly happy and blessed! Not my 6months post op this past Friday ! Not even a year yet and I am beyond satisfied with my results.

He’s a very kind doctor and has a great staff and a great nurse Shannon! Best doctor and team not only in Arizona and the states that I have done research on prior to my surgery when I was selecting my surgeon!

I’m truly now happy in life and in my own body! I’m free and I choose to be ME

I can not recommend Dr. Turkletaub highly enough! He is a fantastic surgeon and his work always looks naturally impeccable. He is very easy to feel comfortable around and to his credit he has a really great staff of competent nurses who are always warm and caring. Shannon always makes me feel relaxed and at ease with her personable bedside manner. Dr. T takes the time to discuss my concerns and desired results and gives me his full and undivided attention in explaining the procedure and what to expect as well as providing alternatives to consider. He work is consistently superb and natural. With many plastic surgeons to choose from I know for certain that I would travel out of state if necessary to see him, I only trust his work. I can age gracefully knowing he will help me appear so! Best. Plastic. Surgeon. Around!!

He did it again!!! I am blown away by my results!!! Dr. T did my tummy tuck after a large weight loss and after having issues with my neck, he was able to help! I love how personable and realistic he is! The results are amazing! I am a little over a month past my operation and it’s better than I bought!!! I will always go to him for my surgeries!!

Dr. T and his staff are extremely knowledgable and made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. I had many questions leading up to my surgery that him and his staff were able to answer. Dr. T is by far the best of the best and I am so happy with the results of my breast reduction surgery!

Amazing. I went to a few places to get quotes on this treatment and everyone wanted to "put my under" and for me to spend at least 5k. I finally found Dr. Turkeltaub and the consultation was quick, easy, and the price was VERY reasonable. The outcome is even better. I was so self-conscious and now I've never felt better about my...you know lol.

I truly can’t say enough good things about this doctor, his practice and my entire surgery experience. From the moment I had a consult with Dr. Turkeltaub, I liked him. He isn’t going to tell you what you want to hear just to earn your business, he is going to tell you the reality. I went on a ton of different consultations and I struggled with making a decision to finally have a tummy tuck, but making the decision to go with Dr. T was easy. I am two weeks post op and he FAR exceeded my expectations. His staff is probably my favorite medical staff I have ever encountered. I spend a lot of time going in for check-ups and I LOVE how informative and helpful everyone has been. I have two friends that will eventually have this same
procedure and they will be meeting with Dr. Turkeltaub. Again because I have met with SO many plastic surgeons, I wil say it is rare to find one that is out for the PATIENT’S best interest.
