Outstanding Care from Dr. Karolak & His Team FIVE STARS
I’d like to share my experience with Dr. Karolak, although I prefer to remain anonymous at this time because I was not entirely truthful with my workplace about why I was taking time off—I had a lower face and neck lift, and I was excited to have Dr. Karolak perform my surgery.
I first met Dr. Karolak years ago when he worked at another practice, and I was always impressed with him. I knew that when the time came for surgery, he would be my choice. So, several years later, I scheduled my procedure a year in advance, knowing how difficult it would be to take time off from my demanding job.
The surgery itself went smoothly. Because I didn’t undergo general anesthesia, I wasn’t groggy and felt great the next day. However, three days after surgery, I felt so good that I made the mistake of doing too much too soon, instead of taking it easy and letting myself heal. I didn’t fully grasp what light activity really meant. This set me back by about a week of recovery.
To get back on track, Dr. Karolak and his assistant, Paola, saw me every single day—even on weekends, evenings and early mornings before other patients arrived. They carefully monitored my healing, adjusted my bandages, and reassured me through what was a very stressful time. Their dedication was remarkable.
Now, nearly three months post-surgery, I am thrilled with my results. While the first 30 days were challenging because of over-exerting myself, I cannot overstate how much I appreciate Dr. Karolak’s commitment to his patients. His level of care is truly commendable.
A word of advice—no matter how great you feel after surgery, listen to your doctor's instructions and give your body time to heal. I didn’t, and it slowed my recovery. But thanks to Dr. Karolak and his team, I’m now fully healed and beyond happy with my results.
I highly recommend Dr. Karolak for any facial procedure. You will be in excellent hands!
