11/21/25 I’m one week post-op from a tummy tuck and liposuction (stomach and hips) with Dr. Shatkin and I am so impressed. Even with the swelling, my results already look amazing and far beyond what I expected this early on. Seeing my new body in the mirror actually brought me to tears. From the very beginning, Dr. Shatkin and his entire staff were incredibly comforting, supportive, and professional. I never felt rushed, and every question I had was answered thoroughly. Even on the day of surgery, he was so kind and reassuring while I was on the table, which made such a difference in calming my nerves. His attention to detail and the level of care he provides both before and after the procedure are outstanding. Also, his pricing is fair, his quality of his work speaks for itself, and I’m already planning to return for future procedures. I’m truly so happy I chose him. I highly recommend Dr. Shatkin and his team!

Very happy! I went to a few other surgeons who told me I was too old to have a neck lift and told me they would only give me a full face lift which I did not want. Doctor Shatkin’s was amazing, told me exactly what to expect and he was not wrong. I am only two days after the surgery I could not be happier actually virtually no pain and absolutely zero bruising, still swollen but I can already see that the results will be amazing! I was so excited to have the surgery but also so nervous but he made me feel very at ease and confident. So happy I picked him to be my surgeon for this procedure. Thank you 🥳🙏🏼

This is a review that ive been contemplating for some time. Approximately two years ago i scheduled with and visited Dr. Shatkin for a bullhorn lip lift.... After waiting over 30 min past my appointment time i was FINALLY called back to be seen... Dr Shatkin listened to my request and then quickly "examined" me for about 10 SECONDS. He then looked me in the face and told me that the procedure was "EXACTLY what you need"...... THEN told me HE would NOT do it. His exact words were " i dont want you to leave here with a different issue than you came in with." This response told me that the good doctor wasn't so convinced of his own skills. He mentioned scaring to me ALMOST IMMEDIATELY even though he looked at formerly healed sites on my body and stated that i didnt seem to have any healing issues. I am African American and have light brown skin. If the doctor is UNCOMFORTABLE with performing on melenated skin types JUST SAY THAT!! I wasted my time going to a consultation AND was still up sold fillers that i dont even need.

Dr Shatkin and his office staff are truly so personable, professional and we're able to answer every question and calm my fear about a procedure I have scheduled. I know im in the right place to handle my needs. Dr Shatkin took so much time with me, If you are thinking about any procedure please call for consultation./ I am now 3 days post surgery from my lower face lift (S-lift). I am so extremely happy with my results. I cant believe the difference in my neck and face already. We talked prior about my concerns. I am 71 years old and was just not happy with the jowel and neck areas, Dr Shatkin not only addressed my concerns but the results were beyond my expectations. The experience and again I am only 3 days post surgery no pain medication other than Tylenol. If you are thinking about this procedure no matter what age, I highly recommend it. Dr Shatkin is an artist :)

Dr. Shatkin and team made the whole process great. I had an arm tuck done and at only 6 weeks out I’m already thrilled with my results! I can’t wait to see what they look like in a year

I had an amazing experience! After several consultations elsewhere, Dr. Shatkin and his team stood out by making the entire process smooth, informative, and reassuring. They took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions thoroughly. I had an abdominoplasty with muscle repair, mastopexy, and breast augmentation. The most discomfort I experienced was on post-op day 1, and from then on, it improved every day. The pain was manageable, and recovery has been easier than I expected. I’m thrilled with my results so far and can’t wait to see the final outcome once the swelling goes down. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the care and the process!

Michelle is the absolute BEST! She takes the time to answer any questions and makes you feel so comfortable. She is a skilled injector, and will take the time to explain the details and process of how things works. I really value the fact that she will advise against “overdoing” anything if she doesn’t think that you need it.

Had my ear lobes repaired here. Surgeon, nurse and front desk girls were all so nice. Fast & easy process. They healed beautify and the doctor was even able to re pierce them in the office after the healing process.
