This NEEDS to be shouted from the rooftops! Dr T. is the BEST doctor I have come across in any specialty! It took me a while to find a surgeon I trusted and felt comfortable with. I looked high and low in 3 states before and after our relocation. I am so grateful I found Dr T. because there wasn't anyone else I wanted to use! Truly grateful for this brilliant surgeon and compassionate, honest human who treats his patients like family! A rare gem indeed!
I have trusted Dr. Tattelbaum twice with breast augmentation (17 years apart) and have been immensely satisfied both times. Most recently, I had an exchange as one implant had deflated. My chest wall is not symmetrical, but Dr. T was able to balance me both times. He and his staff are wonderful!
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about my experience. I had an abdominoplasty with Dr. Tattelbaum last summer, and the results were absolutely flawless. From my very first consultation through recovery, I felt completely cared for and supported. I struggled with pretty significant post op anxiety. Dr Tattelbaum went above and beyond. Not only was he incredibly responsive, but he took the time to reassure me every step of the way. There were moments I felt overwhelmed, and he quite literally held my hand through it. That level of compassion made all the difference. His team is incredible as well. Because my experience was so positive, I decided to move forward with breast augmentation a few months late. Once again, everything was seamless. The results exceeded my expectations in every way. My body honestly looks even better than it did before pregnancy, which I didn’t think was possible. I feel more confident, comfortable, and like myself again. If you’re looking for a surgeon who is not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely cares about his patients, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
...read moreI had an exceptional experience with Dr. Tattelbaum. From the first consultation, he truly listens and takes the time to understand your goals, creating a personalized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I especially appreciated his honesty—he gives realistic advice and always prioritizes what’s best for the patient. His focus on natural, balanced results is exactly what I was looking for, and he absolutely delivered. My breast augmentation looks elegant, proportionate, and completely natural—just a more confident version of myself. Beyond his impressive expertise, he is compassionate, thoughtful, and genuinely cares. The entire experience was seamless and professional from start to finish. Highly recommend.
...read moreWords cannot describe how pleased I am with Dr. Tattelbaum, his medical expertise, and his craftsmanship. He is a true class-act medical professional who genuinely changed my life. For reference, I am a 27-year-old woman, 5’6”. For most of my life, I struggled with being overweight and with body image. At 23, I decided to completely change my life and began a weight-loss journey through diet and exercise. Over the course of a few years, I lost 120 pounds, going from 285 to 165. While I was incredibly proud of this accomplishment, my confidence was still held back by the loose skin left behind. Despite becoming healthier, I still felt like a stranger in my body and didn’t feel the confidence I thought I would. That’s when I began researching options for loose skin removal and breast augmentation. I began my plastic surgery journey in April 2025. I did extensive research on RealSelf, Google, and Top Doctor publications in the area. I created a list of my top five surgeons and scheduled consultations with each of them. As a younger patient who had experienced extreme weight loss, there were not many examples of patients who looked like me, so I wanted to be very thorough with my research. Dr. Tattelbaum was my first consultation, and the only one that was complimentary, so I admittedly did not go in with very high expectations. I was completely wrong. Dr. Tattelbaum spent over an hour with me, answered every question I had, and thoroughly explained everything I needed to know. He offered his professional recommendations while also taking the time to truly listen to my goals. I really appreciated how realistic he was—he never made promises that couldn’t be delivered. I left that appointment knowing he had set the bar extremely high and that he would likely be my surgeon. I still completed the rest of my previously scheduled consultations that week, but each one felt lackluster compared to my experience with Dr. Tattelbaum. I paid $100–$300 for consultations where surgeons spent only 20 minutes in the room. After finishing my consultations, the choice was clear. I immediately scheduled my surgery with Dr. Tattelbaum, which was set for six weeks later. Leading up to surgery, Dr. T, his PA Eve, his executive assistant Pei, and the entire staff ensured that every question I had was answered and that everything was prepared. The process was truly seamless. Everyone was incredibly responsive and supportive, and I always felt like I was in excellent hands. My surgery took place on June 6, and everything went exactly as planned. I had an extended tummy tuck with muscle repair, along with a breast lift and augmentation. Prior to surgery, Dr. Tattelbaum carefully walked me through the pros and cons of an extended tummy tuck versus an FDL tummy tuck based on the amount of loose skin I had. We also discussed different implant sizes and ultimately chose an option that would provide the most natural and realistic results, especially considering my age and the possibility of having children in the future. I truly appreciated how thoughtful and thorough this process was. I went home the same day as surgery with clear instructions for recovery. What really stood out to me was Dr. Tattelbaum’s bedside manner. He personally called me in the days following surgery to check on my progress in addition to several in-person follow-up visits. Recovery was not easy—the first two weeks were definitely challenging—but looking back now, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Around the 6–8 week mark, I began feeling like myself again and gradually returned to light activity. Today, I am nine months post-op and absolutely blown away by my results. For the first time in my life, I feel like I am living in a body that reflects the hard work I have put in. At the gym, people frequently compliment my results, and it has given me a level of confidence I never thought I would have. My stomach is flat, my breasts are full and beautiful, and my scars have healed incredibly well—something I was initially concerned about since I have very fair skin. Choosing Dr. Tattelbaum for my tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation was hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made. His experience, skill, and numerous awards are incredibly well deserved. He is kind, knowledgeable, honest, and truly a class-act professional. I cannot thank him enough for the life-changing work he has done.
...read moreDr. Tattlebaum is a skilled artist who is caring and kind. He transformed my floppy belly with an ugly belly button (from a childhood umbilical hernia) into a bongo drum with the tiniest, most beautiful belly button. I had my procedure done in 2011, and I can’t imagine how much more expertise he must have now 15 years later. I am so happy I had the procedure done with him. It’s the best money I have ever spent.
I had an excellent experience with my breast augmentation from start to finish. The process was educational, personalized, and completely free from surprises. Dr. Tattlebaum was professional, caring, and clearly an expert. From the very first consultation, he guided me honestly on what would look best and what was realistic. On the day of surgery, I felt incredibly well taken care of, and the entire staff was kind and professional. Recovery was smooth, and I truly appreciated the regular follow-up calls that made me feel supported every step of the way. I’m thrilled with my results — they look natural, and my confidence has increased tremendously. I would highly recommend this practice and Dr. Tattlebaum.
...read moreDr Tattelbaum is the most honest and professional plastic surgeon I have consulted. Pre-Surgery he answered all of my question, gave me realistic expectations and informed me comprehensively about all the risks. He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear and didn't try to "sell me a product" which is common in the industry. Surgery went without complications and he puts high emphasis on aftercare. Overall a great experience, thank you Dr Tattelbaum and also big thanks to your team and the nurses who distracted me from my nervousness before surgery!
...read moreThis was my second procedure with Dr. Tattlebaum. Both procedures were excellent. Dr. Tattlebaum is very professional, efficient and experienced, all which are obvious during appointments. He is very thorough and is happy and patient to answer any and all questions. I highly recommend Dr.Tattlebaum for anyone looking to have plastic surgery.
Dr. Tattelbaum is amazing!!! He is as kind and caring as he is in his profession. He did my first procedure years ago and with this second procedure he was even more caring and interested in my well being since I had a problem to over come. He talk to me kindly, gave me the information and the best choice for my individual case. After the surgery he personally called me twice to check up on. His staff....also amazing! those lady are awesome, they are on it! Honestly, I first went to another surgeon who was cheaper and closer to home but after talking to Dr.Tattelbaum in the consultation you leave with a sence of confidence that he is a great surgeon who knows his craft and you will be in good hands. I say he is worth every penny and worth the drive.
