⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had surgery with Dr. Rayess at the Laufer Institute of Plastic Surgery, and the entire experience was outstanding. From my first visit to the day of surgery and aftercare, every staff member was warm, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable. Dr. Rayess is incredibly skilled and reassuring, and my results turned out even better than I hoped for. I’m truly grateful for this team and highly recommend them.

About a month ago I had an eyelid surgery performed by Dr. Rayes, who delivered outstanding results. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Very arrogant surgeon. There was no real education post surgery and I found out about poor outcomes on his liposuctions.

I recently had a septorhinoplasty with Dr Reyess and I couldn't be happier with the results! From my very first consultation, the entire team was incredibly professional, kind, and supportive. I’m a physician myself and I am quite impressed and highly recommend Dr Reyess and Dr Gopman for any cosmetic procedure. Dr. Reyess and Dr Gopman took the time to understand exactly what I was hoping to achieve. They listened carefully to my concerns and explained the procedure in detail, which made me feel completely at ease. The surgery went smoothly, and the recovery process was far more comfortable than I expected—thanks to the detailed aftercare instructions and constant follow-up from the staff. Not only can I finally breathe now, but my nose is more balanced and refined and the results still look very natural—which was very important to me. I’m so grateful to everyone at Laufer Institute for their expertise and care!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Gopman and all of the staff at Laufer Institute. My surgery was successful and perfect as was all my aftercare. I could not ask for better care or results. Sincere appreciation to all!

Dr Gopman is so talented! And the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was an amazing experience. They were so comforting beforehand when the nerves started to settle in and afterwards. I had very good communication with everybody, I felt very informed of everything that was going on. Just walking in the door, the energy is so positive and uplifting there!

Best place for fillers!!! Some times you don't need a face lift, you just need to replace lost volume in your cheeks. It gives your entire fave a lift.

Breast reduction- not the size agreed upon (1-2 cup sizes too large), breasts uneven, scars very visible a year out, and "lift" was only marginal. Pain...
