Michelle R. Yagoda, MD

I feel like I will never find the words to truly express how much I trust and love Dr. Yagoda. She takes such a deep personal interest in her patients - something you rarely find anymore! She really cares, and goes above and beyond to provide individualized care. She is an expert Facial Surgeon - not only did she identify possible Basal Cell cancer during a routine visit, but she went out of her way to collaborate with a cancer surgeon through the process, ultimately performing the reconstruction of the area on my nose from which the cancer was removed. Absolute perfection! Her support and knowledge allowed me to get through the ordeal with heightened understanding and very little fear. Furthermore, she recommends wonderful, EFFECTIVE products that keep me looking and feeling so young! While others search for the fountain of youth, I've found it. I can honestly say that I feel blessed to be under Dr. Yagoda's care! An extremely satisfied patient, Jo-Ann Sperano

I hated my nose ever since I was 16. It had a bump on the profile and a bulbous tip. Simple to fix, I thought, but my first surgeon left my nose twisted and my nostrils pinched and uneven. I never thought that surgery could make it look worse! My surgeon told me that he was pleased with the result, but even if he had told me he could redo it, I don't think I would have let him. I saw many doctors for revision surgery, but I never felt comfortable enough to go on. That's in part because each one told me that the surgery would be difficult for them and the recovery would be difficult for me. They talked about grafts from my ear to bring my nostrils down and breaking bones. Then, everything changed when I went to see Dr. Yagoda. She told me that there were both surgical and non-surgical options. She told me that she could use filler to straighten out the twisted parts, and to bring down the nostril rims. She also described surgery to correct my nose with confidence. It didn't seem as scary. She explained that as the nose continues to age, grafts might settle and move. I decided to try the filler option first. Even though she used topical anesthesia and ice, the injections around the nostrils are painful! But, boy was it worth it...the results were immediate. For less than $1000, she fixed everything to sheer and delightful perfection! Now, I am finally happy with my nose!

Dr. Yagoda's expertise and excellence are incomparable! She shares her knowledge and professional opinion/diagnosis in a thorough, informative and patient manner. Her compassionate care, sincerity and attention to detail regarding her patient's individual needs are admirable! We were completely confident in her knowledge and ability throughout the consultation as well as the pre and post operative visits and the result was excellent! We highly and confidently recommend Dr. Yagoda and we are extremely grateful to her for her excellence and her expertise!

Saw Dr. Yagoda because was at a party and a friend looked naturally refreshed and younger. I asked her what she did and she told me she saw Dr. Yagoda. I couldn't believe it because it was sooo natural. Nothing was overdone or overplumped. You couldn't see those white shadows at all! So, I got up my nerve and decided to call. Cory, the receptionist, couldn't be any friendlier, warmer or knowledgeable. She made me so comfortable on the phone and in person. Emily, the online administrative assistant, sent me all the paperwork before my visit and she send additional information about the procedures I was considering BEFORE I got there. When I got to the office, it was gorgeous and understated....just like Dr. Yagoda. All of my nervousness disappeared when I spoke to Dr. Yagoda. She was comforting, thorough and competent. She put on a topical anesthetic and ice and I barely felt anything. I had been so afraid of the needles. It was so much easier than I thought. Dr. Yagoda expertly placed the just the right amount of filler (Restylane) in the nasaolabial folds, lips, chin crease and the jowls. I look awesome. I can't believe that I didn't do this earlier because I look so much better. No one can tell that I had anything done. They just keep telling me that my new job must be agreeing with me because I look relaxed and happy. Isn't that just what everyone wants?
