Dr. Joel Alan Aronowitz, MD

While it is certainly understood that Surgeons (and those specializing in Plastic, at that) in Los Angeles earn a great living... Dr. Joel Aronowitz puts Cedar Sinai and the medical community to shame with his blatant 'inside referrals' (to his own outside 'medical spas') and lack of true depth or compassion. Having survived traumatic cancer surgery, I was referred to Dr. Aronowitz for some light follow-up. I should have heeded the negative ratings from 2017... and you should heed this review while you're being led on by the plush trappings and phony 'I'm here for you' performance you're in for on your first visit to Dr. Joel's multi-million-dollar plastic industry: The first meeting, I got the 'warm, avuncular, caring' Dr. Joel - 'I'll take good care of you - you have nothing to worry about... we'll take care of all the pre-authorizations... I promise, you're safe." A week later, after learning that his several recommendations for 'superficial' fast-fixes to my face were going to… be rejected by my health insurance as 'frivilous' (he'd recommended expensive out-patient cosmetic procedures, IN HIS MEDICAL SPA he owns in the VALLEY)- rather than the more invasive but permanent and healthful procedures I'd come to him for. The day before I was to have the first of these 'cosmetic procedures' - his ice-cold assistant "Lisa" called to abruptly leave a voicemail that Dr. Aronowitz was 'no longer able to assist'... And when I called back pleading that I had cleared my calendar and took off work at his recommendation for this procedure - and inquired WHY Dr. Joel could 'no longer assist' me... I got the ludicrous, facetious response that, "The Doctor just doesn't feel the procedures will be effective.' That was that. No real explanation, no kind word from this 'benevolent' caring medical professional. I left a request that he at least have the courage to call me back and explain why the sudden about-face and at least some show of respect + kindness that he puts such a great show on for the wealthy who walk into his plush offices... Not a word. And the kicker?? He STILL BILLED my INSURANCE for his pricey 'consultation' (the one in which he'd assured me only a week prior that I was in great hands and not to worry...). I had a 'co-pay' he expected to be paid!! Classless, greedy, and unethical. A report was filed with the Medical Association, and my Insurance notified him that I would not be paying for the consultation. There are a LOT of over-priced cosmetic surgeons in Los Angeles. Find one with a conscience who will honor his word. Dr. Joel Aronowitz... is not that Doctor. Believe the negative reviews.

Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz is absolutely amazing. I had visited with three other surgeons before going with him. He spent a full hour with me where all the other surgeons were just in and out. His staff is so professional, warm and caring. . His nurse is so sweet. Above all this, his work is excellent - I couldnt be happier more than in any place. He doesnt charge a consultation fee, just visit with him and Im sure you will book.

Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz has really done it! How it is even possible for me to express my appreciation for all that he and his staff have done for me? I felt like an "ugly duckling" before I went to Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz and now I feel like a swan! Really!!!!!!

Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz was recommended to me by a friend who had breast implants and a tummy tuck. She was delighted with the results. When she learned that I was interested in some facial work, she immediately told me that the best cosmetic surgeon in town is Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz. She showed me the work he had done for her and I couldn't believe how incredible she looked. I couldn't even find her scars. I have also got the same result.!!!!

Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz was highly recommended to me from my friends who had been his patients in the past. He made me feel comfortable from the moment I met him. His calm demeanor and knowledge set my mind at ease that he would give me the best results possible. My overall experience of plastic surgery was excellent. I have more self-confidence and a better body image thanks to him!

Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz was recommended to me by a friend who had breast implants and a tummy tuck at the Maryland Plastic Surgery Center. She was delighted with the results. When she learned that I was interested in some facial work, she immediately told me that the best cosmetic surgeon in town is Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz. She showed me the work he had done for her and I couldn't believe how incredible she looked. I couldn't even find her scars.

From my first interaction with her kind and caring office staff and my individual consultation Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz, I knew I had made the right choice. The decision to even consider cosmetic surgery was not easy for me, but Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz was patient with this patient and took plenty of time to answer all of my questions. She made sure my expectations were realistic and discussed with me what I could expect throughout the whole process. I am so pleased with the results of my neck lipo.

I went to see him for a consultation for a skin surgery over a year ago. The staff was very helpful and prompt. Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz was very professional and took the time to explain everything and reassure me. He wasn't too pushy and honestly told me that between what he could do per my body structure and the expectations I had for my body to look like after the procedure there was a difference. I appreciated his honesty very much.

"Dr. Joel A. Aronowitz can expect a high degree of professionalism and fantastic results. He and his staff are always very pleasing and offer the most cutting-edge plastic surgery practices available. He is an experienced and caring physician who will help you achieve your best look--he would not allow a patient to go through with a surgery that he did not think would look good on them. "

Honestly, the best Dr anyone could ask for!!I went to a Dr. for reconstructive surgery after weight-loss. He said he could help me and made all these promises. All I asked was to be was normal; to me it was just about looking and feeling like everyone else (in a sense). Instead he ruined me. He destroyed my body and everything I worked so hard to accomplish. All his promises turned into excuses. Next I had to find another plastic surgeon to fix his mistakes and problems he caused. I went to numerous consultations until I found DR. ARONOWITZ. After my first consultation with him I was done felt relieved. He was so honest with me, even if I did not want to hear it. All Dr. Aronowitz wanted to do was help me be the woman I strived to be. Everything the other Dr. said he could not fix, Dr. Aronowitz did, plus more. He went above and beyond what I even imagined. I will always have a great deal of respect for Dr. Aronowitz and would never go elsewhere. I genuinely would and already have,… recommend Dr. Aronowitz to everyone I know, and even don't know for that matter!!!
