False Hope

I went to Dr Novick twice. On my first appointment Dr Novick performed a field subscion along with individual subscion on a few acne scars. After the appointment I was slightly bruised but it was very minimal and allowed me to attend work the very next day. After the first subscion I waited 6 weeks until I went back for another subscion hoping that my second appointment would yield better results than the first. After the first subscion I didn’t see any difference and was extremely disappointed yet still hopeful. During my second appointment Dr Novick performed individual subscion on approximately 16 acne scars and also performed TCA Cross on a few ice pick scars. It is now 4 months since both of my procedures and I have to say Dr Novick do not only FAIL at providing any difference in my acne scarring in addition the amount of money he charges is absurd!!! He charges $200 dollars to subscise EACH acne scar!!! Unless you are made of money and don’t mind disppointment I’d tell you to avoid going to him. I am a realist and was not expecting my acne scars to disappear entirely however, with two procedures completed $4700 down the drain I would expect at the very least a 10% progression rate. I currently see doctor rapport and he is not only an amazing doctor he is an affordable one! After just one session with Dr Rapaport I have seen such an improvement! I am an acne scar sufferer and I know the emotional toll it can have on you, I am writing this review in hopes of saving others from being let down with false hopes from this doctor as well as losing an excessive amount of money!

I'm sorry I wasn't contacted directly. I invite all patients to freely contact me which is why I provide my private email on my business cards. You are still welcome to do so. As is explained to everyone in advance, optimal subcision usually requires 2-4 treatment sessions. So I'm hardly surprised by your gratifying results elsewhere which were likely built upon the prior two treatments in my office. My fees are competitive with the Upper East Side and commensurate with 45 years of experience.
