Profile

Dr. Caridi will fully admit that he is a different kind of guy for sure. He is not your typical surgeon in many ways. His practice philosophy is straightforward: he is a consummate professional who offers his patients his talent with performing surgery in the context of doing the right thing. This means only offering treatments to his patients that make a real difference, done safely and reliably in a comforting and personal environment. He will often not recommend treatments if he feels you are not a good candidate or if there are extenuating circumstances that will interfere with the safety of your treatment. There are simply no compromises made in his practice. Plastic surgery is a big deal, and it is his responsibility to take great care of you, and he takes this responsibility very seriously.

He takes great pride in the strong, personal relationships he has with his patients. They are treated like family. Dr. Caridi will tell you how time flies. He has been in practice for over 30 years and is as motivated and enthusiastic as ever. Although he continues to perform all aspects of cosmetic plastic surgery, his focus is now on female breast cosmetic surgery, mommy makeover procedures, rhinoplasty or “nose jobs,” and, of course, gynecomastia treatment. Dr. Caridi has a bustling clinical practice that draws patients from all over the world and is busy doing research and publishing papers on areas of plastic surgery that interest him and for which he has a lot of experience.

In his free time, Dr. Caridi likes to be outdoors doing all sorts of things. He exercises regularly and loves to learn about the world and different cultures with extensive travel. He will tell you that he has hit his “sweet spot” in that he is having a lot of fun doing what he does best and very much enjoys making a positive impact on all his patients.

He has assumed more of an “advisor/mentor” role because of his age and experience. It’s part of giving back to a world that has offered him vast opportunities and happiness. Dr. Caridi believes in complete transparency regarding who he is and where he comes from- as such, he encourages all prospective patients to review his credentials carefully. He is very proud of his education and practice history.

I had an excellent experience at Austin Gynecomastia Center. The staff were incredibly nice and easy to talk to, providing top-notch customer service throughout. They made me feel safe and comfortable from start to finish, and their communication about both pre-op and post-op care was clear and thorough. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend anyone considering their services to give them a visit!

I've waited a year after my surgery to write this review. I went to Dr. Caridi for my 2nd revision surgery. My first two surgeries were excision-only without liposuction. My case was very minor - my main concern was getting rid of the small amount of remaining gland. Unfortunately he has left my chest looking much worse than before. The incisions at the areola look sloppy and healed poorly, the nipples fold into themselves when warm, and there's severe cratering and loose skin. It's clear he was way too aggressive with liposuction. After the initial follow-up the day after surgery, Dr. Caridi and his office never reached out to me again to ask how I was healing up. And the healing was not easy. Following his massaging protocol didn't help much, if at all. At 6 months, left with terrible results, I finally reached out. Dr. Caridi was very dismissive about my concerns in the following months of email and photo exchanges. He kept assuring me the results would improve with more time. The language he used in his correspondences was highly unprofessional - at one point even saying that I was "torturing myself". After more complaining he finally offered to do a FaceTime call but I ultimately declined as I had lost all trust in him by that point. In hindsight, my first FaceTime consultation before surgery was rushed, casual, and non-specific. I only found out I was to have liposuction (in addition to excision) after the call when they forwarded me the bill. During that call he said some bizarre and unprofessional things which I won't repeat here. It was personal and inappropriate. I foolishly glossed over these red flags. Give a look on the Gynecomastia sub-Reddit and you'll find other folks who have suffered from a similar experience with Caridi. Wish I had done more research. Other reputable surgeons have since informed me I'll need up to 2 more surgeries to correct Dr. Caridi's mistakes with scar revisions and fat grafting. Please consider my example as a warning. I highly suggest you look elsewhere for surgery.

I drove over 12 hours from Florida to Austin because I truly believe Dr. Caridi is the best gynecomastia surgeon in the country—and after having my surgery, I can confidently say it was 100% worth it. From the first consultation to post-op care, everything about this experience was professional, smooth, and reassuring. Dr. C and his staff are not only incredibly skilled, but they also treat you like a person—not just a patient. You can tell they truly care about the outcome and your confidence. For years, this surgery was something I thought about daily, and now it’s finally behind me. I’m healing well, the results already look amazing, and I can’t wait to hit the beach without a second thought. If you’re struggling with gynecomastia and searching for the right doctor, this is the place. Dr. Caridi changes lives—I know because he just changed mine. Thank you, Dr. C and team. You guys are the real deal.

After a substantial amount of research I landed on trusting AGC with my gynecomastia procedure and I could not imagine having a better experience anywhere else. All of the nurses were incredibly informative and available for any and all questions that I had pre and post operation. All of the staff truly make you feel apart of the AGC family. Dr. C is the best, hands down! His resume speaks for itself but he truly stands behind his reputation of quality care for patients and he is amazing at doing it in a very direct but kind manner. There is a reason men travel from all over the country to trust Dr. C and his staff to handle a very personal/life changing experience. I am thankful that I am one of those people! I am 2 days post surgery and though still swollen and bruised I am so thankful to have a reconstructed chest, it’s truly life changing. AGC has clear directive on what my duties are at home post op to complete this process and I’m confident if I am diligent in doing MY job then the results will exceed my expectations. Thank you Dr. C and staff!
