I love Doc Galitz bc he knows his stuff. He was very sensitive to my AA dark skin and repeatedly told his nurse how to treat me carefully to prevent scaring. My face looks beautiful. And no matter how late you come, he treats you like his 1st patient of the day.

Richard Galitz, MD, FACS, is an expert in facial plastic & reconstructive surgery. I rate Dr. Galitz and his staff five stars based on the overall professionalism of the office staff, care and attentiveness provided by Dr. Galitz, and staff throughout the entire pre and post-surgical process, his years of experience, artistic talent, and most of all, the exquisite result I received was far beyond expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Richard Galitz if you are considering any type of facial reconstructive or cosmetic facial surgery. You won’t be disappointed.

Very happy with my results. Had fillers and Botox previously and just had upper eyelids and mini lift. Extremely happy. He and his staff are knowledgeable and very professional .

Dr Galitz is an excellent plastic surgeon. He not only gave me a great face, neck and eyelids lift, for a reasonable price. But when there were some scars that were not to HIS full satisfaction, since my scaring color turns white, he easily (because it’s done in his office clinic, w local anestesia) touched them up right on the spot. I am not only satisfied with the results, but I am so thankful to have chosen a Dr that is truly caring about his patients, their results and their satisfaction! I highly recommend Dr Galitz and his great staff! Lysandra
