Words from our patients. We are committed to forming lifelong bonds.

“From the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt welcomed and supported. I had been meeting with several plastic surgeons to find the most trusting MD for my mommy makeover.

Dr. Piazza was incredibly thoughtful and kind, he didn’t take out a sharpie and started circling imperfections (that happened at two other clinics and was awful) but rather complimented me on all the things that were right. He listened carefully to my concerns and spent a lot of time educating me on realistic expectations. I do CrossFit and he clearly outlined what my recovery timeline would look like. After my consultation there was no doubt that I would choose the Piazza Center.

After breastfeeding for a total of 4 years, I desired natural looking, fuller breasts. Dr. Piazza gave me just that.

From the initial appointment to my 6-month post-op, I have had a great experience with Dr. Piazza and his staff. Everyone there is friendly and makes you feel comfortable. I am extremely happy with my breast augmentation results. After breastfeeding for a total of 4 years, I desired natural looking, fuller breasts. Dr. Piazza gave me just that. I recommend him to anyone that asks about my breast augmentation.

All I can say is WOW when I looked at my before and after photos. He is definitely an artist of the body and knows how to get the results you want. Forever grateful.

I, at 68, knew very little about how to pick a plastic surgeon. The moment I set foot in Dr. Piazza’s beautiful office, he and his assistants made me feel so comfortable by assuring me that they were there to help me achieve my surgical goals. After the surgery and following Dr. Piazza's protocol of vitamin supplements and scar treatments, here I am 7 months after, and my scarring is minimal. All I can say is WOW when I looked at my before and after photos. He is definitely an artist of the body and knows how to get the results you want. Forever grateful.

From the pre-op visits, to the day of surgery, through the follow-up post-op visits, I ALWAYS felt a special level of care. I couldn’t be happier with the results and the confidence I have gained as a result.

The procedure I had was to remove extra skin around my abdominal area. My decision was not based purely on cosmetic reasons but was the final step in a weight loss journey I began years ago with diet and exercise. From the first conversation I had with his staff to the personal interaction with Dr. Piazza, I felt there was a real interest in understanding my perspective and motivation so they could provide the best care. That is exactly what they did. From the pre-op visits, to the day of surgery, through the follow-up post-op visits, I ALWAYS felt a special level of care. I couldn’t be happier with the results and the confidence I have gained as a result. At Dr. Piazza’s office, you truly are a “patient for life”.

I did one session of Cool Sculpting, and the results were great. Down a belt notch in a matter of a few weeks. Will go back for more.

As a guy, I didn't have a lot of knowledge in my network about cosmetic procedures. I wanted to soften my look a little and target some abdominal fat that was stubborn. I take care of myself, but this was taking it to another level. I was confident they were going to get me where I wanted to be without over-treating. I did one session of Cool Sculpting, and the results were great. Down a belt notch in a matter of a few weeks. Will go back for more. They did an excellent job on my BOTOX and softened the look around my eyes without looking unnatural. Will go back and see them more for both treatments.
