Steven TeitelbaumDr

Most brilliant man!

Dr. Teitelbaum is a master at his skill. I had several consultations with other surgeons and immediately I knew he was the perfect surgeon for me. His bedside manner, knowledge and experience gave me all the confidence I needed that I was in the best hands. As a surgeon myself I was incredibly impressed by the seamless process of the entire surgery including my excellent post surgical results. I am one year out from my surgery and my results are outstanding thanks to the masterful work of Dr. Teitelbaum.

I had my breast implants removed by Dr. Teitelbaum about 2 months ago and although the surgery turned out as expected ( I only got the implants out, no other work was done) my aftercare did not go as planned. 7 days after surgery ( and 4 days after being told to told by the doctor to stop taking my antibiotics due to a “rash” ( which I directly texted him a picture of) and never put on different ones) , I contracted a cellulitis infection on my feet and chest wall. I spent 4 days in the hospital on IV antibiotics and had a 20% chance of dying according to Dr. Kang at St Johns who was my attending physician. If I had been home alone and didn’t have someone to get me to the hospital she said I most likely would have died due to delirium and not being able to know I needed help . When I showed Dr. Kang the exact picture of the “rash” I sent to Dr. Teitelbaum she said (and I quote ) “ WOW ..: that looks just like the cellulitis on you feet” . I understand infection is a risk with surgery but when I returned to the doctors office to see him not only did he refuse to take any responsibility at all , he tried multiple times to blame me for the infection and proceeded to try and makeup stories about my life to convince me it was my fault. Saying things like I walked around without shoes on or that my job was dirty and it happened at work. He never brought up the fact that I was taken off a 7 day course of antibiotics on day 3 which could of been switched after I sent the rash pictures and could of possibly protected me from any of these things he was making up about my lifestyle. And to be fair, I was REALLY nice and understanding when I first went back 3 days after leaving the hospital , most people wouldn’t have been. I really just wanted him to make things right and comfort me and assure me he would do anything to help , that we were in this together, but that’s not what happened at all. Not at all. He said “ this has NEVER happened to me in 30 years “. My best advise would be to ask your surgeon if he’s capable of making a mistake or if he’s ever made a mistake. Is he answers NO to one or both of those questions. RUN. If he says “ yes of course” , ask him how he would handle the situation if something like this happened to you post-op because it can happen and it does happen and no surgeon is right 100% of the time. Not even the best of the best like De. Teitelbaum.

I'm one week out from my breast augmentation with Dr T. From the very first day when I booked the appointment for my consultation I had a good feeling about...

Dr. Teitelbaum is first class. He is well trained, recognized by his peers and published in his field. He listens to his patients which not all doctors do. He is a true professional. I would highly recommend him.

Breast augmentation all the way back in 2004, and I could not be happier with it. Dr. Teitelbaum's work looks beautiful and natural. The whole staff was both approachable and professional. Most amazingly, I had almost no pain (still not sure how he accomplished that!) This was a totally positive experience all around.
