How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I Expected a Lot Better
Firstly I would like to say that Dr Gerarchi has a wonderful bedside manner and is super nice, so it pains me to write this review.
He performed a neck and face lift on me - 47 year old - back in December 2018. My one main concern when considering surgery were my hanging jowls, and this was explained to him in the only consultation I had with Dr Gerarchi. In reflection, as I had been to another surgeon to talk about the same procedure, I did not ask as many questions as I should have. With Dr Gerarchi I did feel a bit rushed (he was running behind on schedule), so I didn't ask the questions I should have asked. I naturally thought my sagging jowls would be addressed and this was wrong. I still have them - $25K down.
What I will say is that the neck lift was a success, and though my neck before had never bothered me, it certainly is an improvement now. The scars were tidy behind the head, but a good 1.5cm below my hairline - another thing I did not discuss properly with Dr Gerachi. Again I just assumed he would hide them in the hair like my previous doctor said he would do. I have since had a lot of treatment on them (at Dr Gerachi's) which did nothing and cost a lot. I recommend to all of you to go and do tattoo camouflage, do not spend the money on the IPL and fraxel. The scars around the front of my face were amazing, and very hidden. It was only at the back that caused me concern... again only because they were not hidden. They were very neat but thin white lines, so very noticeable.
In all do I wish I had it done? The neck lift was great, but it wasn't my big concern and to be honest, wouldn't have had it done had it not been part of the procedure. But it was a success and if you are going to Dr Gerarchi for a neck lift, then you should not have any concerns. But my face lift was a failure, and I still have saggy jowls exactly the same as I had before. I am beyond disappointed in myself for the poor decision I made.
I think the final proof to me was Dr Gerarchi did not take any after photos to keep on record. He didn't ask me back for any further appointments. And had I not gone in there for worthless IPL and Fraxel on the neck scars, I would never have heard from their office again.
On a side note, Samantha their nurse, was super amazing.
