She has been providing an integrated approach—to beauty, aesthetics, ear, nose, throat, voice, and cosmetic surgery—since 1990 in New York and Manhattan! This does not mean a bubbly fountain of river rocks in her reception area or general platitudes about “wellness.” For Dr. Yagoda, an integrative approach means taking the best of multiple disciplines and combining them to deliver patient care that’s greater than the sum of its parts.

Trained in both cosmetic facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat medicine and surgery), Dr. Michelle Yagoda is regarded as the doctor other doctors choose when they want the very best. A top female plastic surgeon for aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, she is also an otolaryngologist, sub-specializing in the medical and surgical treatment of sinus disease. In laryngology, she focuses on the care of the professional voice. In all areas, she combines natural, prescription, and holistic treatments with cutting-edge laser, injectable, surgical and non-surgical techniques.

I met Dr. Yagoda through my husband who is also her patient. She is fabulous! I was diagnosed last year with a basal cell carcinoma on my nose. My dermatologist said I needed to undergo Mohs surgery. I really didn't know what it would involve and I was extremely nervous. My husband told me to call Dr. Yagoda for her advise. I reached out to her and she called me back immediately. Not many doctors would have a response time like this. She completely put me at ease, explained the Mohs procedure and what to expect afterwards. After the Mohs surgery I went to Dr. Yagoda to perform the repair. I had a sizable hole on my nose and was emotionally drained from the ordeal. She was comforting, and confident in her expertise. I knew I was in good hands. She is an extremely skillful surgeon and has a wonderful bed side manner. Although Dr. Yagoda doesn't take my insurance her office will always process the paperwork for my claims. I had a case where I needed to appeal for payment and Dr. Yagoda took the time to speak to the insurance company as well as submit an appeal on my behalf. She really went above and beyond. Thanks to her, and her assistant Alexa, I received full reimbursement.

Having a facelift was a major decision for me. Dr.Yagoda was straightforward in explaining facelift surgical procedures as well as expenses . She was honest in outlining the final results of my facelift. However, it was not until I actually underwent plastic surgery that I fully realized that it is a very long process. Not only is the skill and aesthetic touch of the physician important, but the patient’s role during the healing process is vital. Dr Yagoda is a compassionate surgeon with outstanding technical skills , and a strong aesthetic sense. She made my facelift surgery experience quite tolerable. My results were well worth the great expenses and length discomforts. Thanks to Dr. Yagoda, I am now an updated classic!

I went to see Dr. Yagoda on the recommendation of my eye doctor who suggested a functional blepharoplasty or eyelid lift because of the extra skin on my upper eyelids and the heaviness I felt when reading. She and her staff were awesome! Her office is an oasis...clean, quiet, and zen. Dr. Yagoda was extremely thorough during my consultation and spent time explaining everything about my options and what to expect during and after the procedure. Cory, the office manager, got approval for visual field testing, and then approval from my insurer because the surgery was medically necessary. They explained all the details about my insurance and coverage and there were NO surprises! The hospital staff were warm, friendly, kind and caring at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. I had minimal swelling and bruising and basically no pain except after the surgery except for the first two hours in the recovery room. My results are amazing! I look natural and refreshed and I can read for hours without becoming exhausted. Dr. Yagoda is top notch and I highly recommend her!
