Samuel Shatkin, Jr., MD

I had an amazing experience! After several consultations elsewhere, Dr. Shatkin and his team stood out by making the entire process smooth, informative, and reassuring. They took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions thoroughly. Never did I feel rushed, Dr. Shatkin’s and his team truly care! I had an abdominoplasty with muscle repair, mastopexy, and breast augmentation. The most discomfort I experienced was on post-op day 1, and from then on, it improved every day. The pain was manageable, and recovery has been easier than I expected. I’m thrilled with my results so far and can’t wait to see the final outcome once the swelling goes down. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the care and the process!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Dr. Shatkin and his incredible team! From my very first consultation, I felt heard, respected, and truly cared for. Every step of the process was explained thoroughly, and the kindness and professionalism of the entire staff put me completely at ease. I recently had a tummy tuck (with muscle repair), and I’m only a few days post-op—but I already feel like a new woman. The results are beyond what I could’ve hoped for. For the first time in decades, I looked in the mirror and saw a version of myself that finally reflects how hard I’ve worked—through 140 pounds of weight loss, healing from PCOS, and years of battling inflammation. Dr. Shatkin is not only a skilled surgeon, but also a compassionate listener and a true artist. He gave me my confidence back. I hadn’t seen my belly button since childhood, and now I can finally greet her again with love. To anyone considering this journey—do it. And do it with Dr. Shatkin. You’ll be in the best hands.

I really can’t say enough about how outstanding my experience has been with Dr. Shatkin and his entire staff. He is a very talented and caring surgeon. His entire staff has been excellent as well. I’m very pleased that I chose him for my cosmetic surgery needs.

Wonderful professional consult for both breast lift and face-lift surgeries. I also received helpful non-invasive skincare treatment suggestions. Dr. Shatkin is conservative with his recommendations which is comforting. The support staff was helpful and friendly as well. I've been super happy with all my appointments and communication. Dr. Shatkin is fairly priced too. I'm a happy patient!

S-lift and upper Bleph. Hands down the most amazing plastic surgeon! I had a tummy tuck, Lipo, and upper Bleph from a different plastic surgeon in Buffalo. My experience with Dr Shatkin and his staff compared to the other plastic surgeon was night and day. The moment I entered Dr Shatkins office they rolled out the red carpet. Every person I had contact with was smiling, warm, and welcoming. Something I feel should take precedence when spending part of your life savings (polar opposite to my experience with the other office). So yes, you read that right…my upper Bleph was re-done by Dr Shatkin. I’m 53, newly widowed, and after my s-lift and upper Bleph revision I look like my eldest daughters sister. I feel amazing. I’m also going to have modifications to my sloppy tummy tuck from the other provider. Dr Shatkins knowledge and experience is apparent and ingrained; his father was a plastic surgeon also. Aesthetics Associates in Williamsville, NY receives top marks from me. If I could leave a 10 star review I would.

I always get great results with my procedures from Dr. Shatkin. I can relax because he is precise, careful and takes great pride in his work. I highly recommend Dr. Shatkin for any beauty or ageless procedures.

Dr Sam was so awesome, patient with my questions, confident about his approach, and very helpful,,walked us out to the car! Helped me with the seatbelt,,just a great experience ..a blessing to have this in our home town..a true Buffalonian!

The doctor and staff were caring, and made you feel at ease.

Love Dr. Shatkin and all those that work with him!!! They are all knowledgeable, kind, and most importantly real; taking an approach that works for me, explaining each process and procedure, even suggesting the one that is not the most expensive if it is the right one. I don’t always write reviews but I do read them from real patients when looking for a good doctor!

I am 63, my face and neck were sagging making me feel old. I was unsure of any surgery because of recovery time , pain and scarring . It’s less than 48 hours and I have mild discomfort, little swelling and barely any bruising . Best of all my skin is tight and no neck sagging anymore .
