From the reviews

Dr. Kotick is the only surgeon that sat with me, answered all my questions, listened to me, was compassionate, and allowed me to feel seen and heard. I believe I was suffering from BII. Dr Kotick is a believer and committed to making you feel better! I would highly highly recommend Dr Kotick.

Our son's wedding was August 30th. My dermatologist noticed a basal cell on the tip of my nose (of all places) in May. We were away for the month of June. The basal cell was necessary to be removed by MOHS surgery, then closed by a plastic Surgeon. WHO?? Wedding coming up quick. I was referred to Dr.

★★★★★ — Robert, Sep 2025

I have had the extreme pleasure to cross paths with such a gifted, highly skilled, professional and personable plastic surgeon. As a nurse myself, sometimes we meet surgeons who do not have the best bedside manner. With Dr. Kotick that is not the case.

★★★★★ — Sheila, Mar 2025

Where do I begin…I can not say enough about Dr. Kotick and his amazing staff. I have never met a surgeon like Dr. Kotick before. From his amazing bedside manner and the kindness and compassion he has is absolutely heartfelt! These traits are not taught in school, someone either has it or they don’t. Believe me Dr.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
