dr. skolnik is the finest surgeon i have ever been to. one should overlook his bedside manner as he is meticulous, does not do procedures he deems unnecessary, and he simply knows what he is doing in every sense of the word. he is caring and i thoroughly trust him - which for me is saying a great deal.

an angel and a master plastic surgeon ! I had a very complicated nose that i wanted improved. He explained everything to me in detail and I am so happy with my results. Oh, and his staff was amazing! You can't go wrong with this man.

I have seen Dr. Skolnik for two procedures a few years apart. He questions patients very carefully, is not pushy, explains everything thoroughly, then does a fantastic job in the Operating Room. Unlike some plastic surgeons with fancy offices, he is all about the work. And I should know. I'm an MD myself.

After extensive "shopping" I found Dr. Skolnik. Both he and his office are treasures. His patience and sensitivity are surpassed only by his skill and talent. I have had two procedures with him and would do them again. His follow-up care is above and beyond any care I've ever received with any other physician. No one takes better care of his patients than Richard Skolnik. His medical aesthetician, Vilma, has taken care of my skin to the extent that I put nothing on my face without her input.

I was hesitant to visit a plastic surgeon but wanted to rejuvenate my face...being of a certain age. Dr. Skolnick was highly recommended by friends and I am now a devoted patient. He made various suggestions and I never felt that he was out to make money on me. I look and feel better. And I continue to see him for maintenance. His office staff is wonderful and they have always accommodated my crazy schedule. I can honesty say that his practice is extremely professional.
