I just had my rhinoplasty done by Dr. Edelson, and I couldn’t be happier. The day he took off my cast, I knew I’d made the right choice. I did tons of research, looked at before-and-after photos, and had consultations with other surgeons, but Dr. Edelson stood out. He listened to exactly what I wanted and somehow gave me results that were better than I imagined. With 37+ years of experience, he clearly knows what he’s doing. He understands how to give you the look you want while

Forehead Osteoma Removal
I have had a Forehead Osteoma for over 10 years, the last few years I was noticing it and it bothered me a lot.. I consulted with four Plastic surgeons, two of them were ENT/Plastic surgeon.. All of them are excellent doctors, however I decided to go with Dr. Edelson and i am really glad I did! He is very knowledgeable and kind yet very down to earth and easy to talk too, in addition he was the only one i consulted with who had done about 60 similar cases, wrote an article detailed
Dr. Edelson truly is a magician and an artist as some here have pointed it out. I was pretty scared to go through my revision surgery as my initial one did not go well, and I was extremely scared that my revision could possibly make it even worse. However, Dr. Edelson was very honest and extremely helpful along the way. He explained everything during his free consultation and set my expectations in the right direction. He also does not oversell you anything which is what I really
I would give him a billion stars if I could. Dr Edelson gave me the nose I’ve always dreamed of! Excellent bedside manner and answered any questions I had. Amazing experience and the anesthesiologist that work with him are also top tier!! I have the worst anxiety and he and his team really made me as comfortable as possible!! Thank you so much for this life changing experience!!!
I’ve had a growing osteoma on my forehead for the last 10 years or so. The last 2 years it has been really bothering me. After researching and reading lots of reviews I made a consult appointment with Dr. Edelson. A few weeks later I went in for the procedure and was done in about 15 minutes. The recovery took a little more time than I thought. I took a full three days off work. Other than that it was very much worth it and I’m so glad it’s behind me and I no longer have to worry

Dr Edelson is a Great Doctor!
I went in for a consult with Dr. Adelson about six months ago, thinking I wanted to get a mommy makeover. I never had kids, but overtime, my boobs have gotten bigger and saggier, and sadder looking, and my tummy wasn’t as small and tight as I wanted it to be. Dr. Edelson Cell recommended a breast lift, but felt is though doing a tummy tuck wasn’t necessary quite yet. Right off the bat, I appreciated his honesty, and his kind bedside presence and I could tell he was a doctor with
I found Dr. Edelson on realself. Dr. Edelson removed a lipoma from my forehead. I had a really good experience having this procedure done with Dr. Edelson. The office was beautiful and relaxing. The staff was all courteous and helpful. Dr. Edelson was the only Dr. I could find in the country that would do this surgery without general anesthesia. He used local anesthesia, which was preferable by me and actually a much healthier way to do the surgery. The surgery is actually
I did a ton of research and checked out hundreds of surgeons and feel completely happy with my decision to choose Dr Edelson for my rhinoplasty. He read my mind during the consultation and knew all the things I wanted before I even said anything. He definitely has aesthetic vision. The surgery was quick and painless, in fact the only part that hurt was getting the packing out around day 3 or so. The worst part for me was not being able to breathe out of my nose for a week. So
Beyond impressed with my results. Iam 5"4 190 most of my weight was in my abdomen area i wasn't expecting for a complete flat stomach but more of just an improvement. At my consultation which i was very hesistant to go due to embarrasment on how bad my stomach looked like. I can say that he made me believe in my body. The Anesthiologist was great she called me before surgery and got to know me once i met her in person i felt as if she was my friend i felt very cared for by Dr
Dr. Edelson is very caring. I had a what I thought was a forehead osteoma, Dr. Edelson removed it for me, at a very very reasonable price. I appreciate everything Dr. Edelson did, he really pays attention to details, and went out of his way to make sure I had the best results for my surgery. Thank you very much Dr. Edelson!
