I recently had a breast reduction revision with Dr. Marc Everett, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. He truly does amazing work and gave me exactly what I asked for. After a disappointing outcome with a previous surgeon, finding Dr. Everett was such a blessing — his skill, precision, and attention to detail show in every part of my results. I also want to acknowledge the junior doctor who assisted in my surgery. I didn’t catch her name, but she was warm, attentive, and made me feel even more confident going into the procedure. Her presence and professionalism added to the comfort I felt throughout the process. Dr. Everett’s office is clean, modern, and comforting. The front desk staff is incredibly sweet, always patient, and quick to answer every text and phone call. I was so grateful for the support that I even made a gift basket to show my appreciation. They kept me reassured from start to finish, and that meant everything to me. The hospital Dr. Everett uses — MEETH in Manhattan — also exceeded my expectations. The staff who cared for me after anesthesia were some of the best I’ve ever had: gentle, attentive, and genuinely kind. If you’re looking for a surgeon who combines talent, professionalism, and a warm, supportive environment, I highly recommend Dr. Everett. My results speak for themselves, and the entire experience was exceptional.

I am two weeks post op from a breast reduction and lift with Dr. Everett. I could not be happier with the results! The overall experience from start to finish with Dr. Everett has been a great one! Not only is he extremely informative and personable, he is also just a really cool guy. He takes the time to chat with you and makes you feel very comfortable. As he was marking me up before surgery, he asked how I was feeing and I admitted I was a bit nervous. His response was “well I’m not” and that truly put me at ease before going under. As for the breast results… he has forever changed my life! Highly recommend Dr. Everett and his entire staff.

I am currently three weeks post-op from my breast reduction surgery. I couldn’t be more happier with the outcome. Dr. Everett, Aleyni and the rest of his team are very welcoming and kind. Meeting him is a life changing experience to me because he helped regaining my confidence back. From the first consultation to my post-op he listened to all my questions and concerns without any judgement, which helped me feel heard and understood. Words cannot express my gratitude, you are truly a blessing to me!! I would highly recommend Dr.Everett.

I am 6 weeks post op from a breast reduction performed by Dr. Everett. I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience and results. From the very first consultation, Dr. Everett and Aleyni were welcoming, informative, and supportive. They made me feel comfortable and confident about the procedure, and all of my questions were answered with care and clarity. One of the biggest relief was that the office handled the insurance approval process seamlessly. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery was better than I expected. I experienced little to no discomfort and didn’t need to take any pain medication at all. I followed the post op instructions and I’m already seeing that the scarring is fading beautifully. I am so grateful to Dr. Everett and his incredible team for their professionalism, compassion, and skill. Highly recommend to anyone considering this surgery!!

Getting a breast reduction with Dr. Everett was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From my very first consultation, he made me feel heard and understood. He explained everything so clearly, answered all my questions, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. I left that appointment knowing I could trust him completely. The day of surgery, Dr. Everett and his team went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, cared for, and supported. My recovery has been smoother than I expected, and I felt guided through every step. Didn’t even need to reach out to chat gpt lol he was always there to answer any questions I had! The results have already changed my life and it’s only been 3 weeks. I feel lighter, more comfortable, and so much more confident in my body. It’s not just the physical change, but the way I feel about myself. I’m truly grateful for Dr. Everett’s skill, professionalism, and compassion. I’ve never looked better! For anyone considering a breast reduction, I can honestly say you will be in the best possible care with Dr. Everett. I would recommend him without hesitation.
