Dr Kneesey is not only an amazing surgeon he is kind, caring and compassionate. Very rare to find these days. My surgery went better than expected and the results are beautiful. He is an extraordinary man with impeccable talent. I highly recommend Dr. Kneesey and will be seeing him again in the near future. Referred many friends to him and they cannot thank me enough for the referral. Dr. Kneesey is the BEST!

I have been seeing Dr. Kneessy for several years. I have not had surgery performed by Dr. Kneessy but have seen him for other problems. He is a first rate Doctor: very professional, kind, you feel you can talk to him and he listens. I highly recommend Dr. Kneessy. If I needed or wanted surgery by a Plastic Surgeon I would only chose Dr. Kneessy.

Dr. Kneessy was the kindest most patient doctor I have encountered. He was very gentle and takes great pride in his work. He is clearly a perfectionist who will make sure he aligns his work with the patients wants. Best experience I could've asked for. I consider myself lucky and am very happy I chose Dr. Kneessy.

I went to dr Kneessy after being diagnosed with breast cancer for the secondtime and being told I needed a double mastectomy. He (and his nurse) was so caring and really helped me thru a Horrible time. I really feel if I had chosen another doctor I wouldn’t have been able to make it thru all that I had to go thru. He also goes out of the country and performs Cleft pallet surgeries on children in need. You’re making the best choice choosing this doctor

From the minute you walk in, the ladies at the desk are always smiling and happy to help. Never a long wait to see the doctors either. Dr. Kneessy is very friendly and thoroughly answers all questions, you never feel rushed. Its a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I definitely made the right choice when I decided to use Dr Kneessy. He, along with his staff, are professional. I was very nervous and everyone made me feel less so. I am so glad I chose this office I had liposuction of my hips,flanks,abdomen and upper arms 4 weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. Dr Kneessy is an amazing artist. I now have the figure I always wanted. He knew exactly what I desired and made it happen. Thank you Dr Kneessy and Suffolk Plastic Surgeeons
