He is not friendly at all, don't make your feel comfortable at all when he speaks to you, without looking exactly what you need to be done, right away mention I can't do it sorry. What kind of surgeon is that.

I've been playing around with the idea for years about having breast augmentation. I've seen several doctors. My consult with Dr. Alkon was very comfortable and relaxing. There was no pressure or any sales tactics. He was very open and honest. His staff is very friendly and informative. It was a smooth process from beginning to end. It's been four months and I couldn't be happier. My breasts are absolutely beautiful! If you're looking for a top notch plastic surgeon, look no further!

I LOVE DR. ALKON, HE IS THE BEST! HE IS SO HONEST THAT HE GAVE ME MY MONEY BACK AND TOLD ME TO GAIN WEIGHT SO I COULD GET A FAT TRANSFER AND THEN COME BACK FOR AN APPOINTMENT! I WAS DISAPPOINTED BUT HE WAS HONEST, NOT MANY DOCTORS WOULD DO THAT THEY WOULD TAKE YOUR MONEY AND TELL YOU AFTER THE FACT YOU DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FAT! HE DESERVES MORE THAN 5 STARS!
