Botox and Juvederm

Dr. Laufer is the best in the business. I have received Botox and Juvederm from him and can honestly say his work is wonderful! He tells you the truth on what you need and will never try to up sell you on things you don't. He is a great man who really takes the time to spend with you. I have never felt rushed by him. His staff is just as great!! Anita, Trisha and Nicole and the nicest and most knowledgeable girls in the business who know so much about all the products too. I would definitely recommend The Laufer Institute to any friend or family member.

awesome

The doctor was incredible, he explained everything down to the T. The fact that he wanted me to completely understand the procedure and why he was choosing the specifics, made me feel very comfortable.

Rhinoplasty & More!

Came to Dr. Laufer after meeting another patient of his who had had rhinoplasty. Dr. Laufer and his office staff are friendly and professional from consultation through post-op and so far I'm very satisfied with my results.

Exceptional, professional, and talented Surgeon

Dr. Laufer had to remove a "deflated" implant which happened over a holiday. He was extremely accomidating and caring. In a matter of minutes he put me at ease and promptly schedule surgery for removal. Being in the medical field for over 30 years, I have never met a physician who is as understanding and caring in any specialty. If you are looking for a surgeon who listens, cares, and has incredible knowledge this is your practice you need to choose. I only wish he also had a family physician practice. The staff at this Institute is very helpful, friendly, and caring. I have to say Dr. Laufer is not the BEST plastic surgery, but also a great person.

Dr. Erel Laufer is a miracle worker!!! SO happy!

I have never had surgery before. Since the age of 18 I had wanted to get breast augmentation surgery. The whole team at the Laufer Institute goes above and beyond in every aspect of their business. Never once did I feel nervous, overwhelmed, or confused. They lead me through the whole process providing me with a sense of compassion, comfort and care. I was a AA cup. Dr Laufer was able to make a full C look 100% natural on my 105 lb frame. In conclusion, all I can say is that if you're looking to go anywhere for any cosmetic procedure, do not go anywhere BUT the Laufer Institute. My standards are extremely high relating to doctors, Dr. Laufer was is an amazing person, his incredible talent is matched with his wonderful personality.

Excellent first time surgery experience- reduction

From the consultation to post follow-up appointments the staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The level of customer service is outstanding and one of the main reasons I chose to have my surgery at the Laufer Institute next to the credentials and experience of the staff specifically Dr. Laufer himself.

great experience

My experience with Dr Laufer was exceptional. Compared to other plastic surgeons, I found him and his office staff to be very professional and personal. I felt right at home and confident with my decision to choose him for my breast lift with augmentation. The surgery unit more than met my expectations and I truly felt like everyone went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and taken care of.

From the first visit, I have felt very comfortable with Dr. Laufer and his employees.

I made an appointment with Dr. Laufer almost a year before I scheduled my surgery. I was't in a hurry to have a face lift so when I finally decided, I new I was ready, and excited. Through out the planning, I ask many questions. The DR. and Staff made me feel like every question I asked was important. This was such a nice experience, that when It was finally time to pick a day for the surgery, I wasn't anxious at all. It worked out that my husband could not be here the day of the surgery, which as much as I love him, I was fine with this. My closest friend, was able to take me.

We arrived the morning of the surgery. The Dr.. and Nurse were waiting for me, so we quickly got started. I was completly relaxed. The surgery was finished before I new it, although it was 6 plus hours later. It seems like a blur now, I went home and slept for at least 6 hours.

The recovery was what I expected, with some pain, and bruising. I went to my appointment on Monday, and was told I was doing great. All I did for my recovery was to listen, and do what I was told to do.

I was prepared to stay in the house, and that is what I did. All of my "ducks" were in a row weeks before the surgury. Sometimes I felt ill all over, but this was part of the healing process. I did have the blues, and cried easy. Sometimes I felt I was going to look like "this" which I didn't look like my self, forever. I talk to the nurse and at one point called them. They reassured me that this was a part of the healing process. By the end of week 2 I was smiling again, The swelling was going down, the blues and was gone.

One of the feeling I did experience right after, was quilt. How could I do this? I was a wife mother, and 'the sister" who could afford this", and now look at me. How could I spend this much money on face. My husband works so hard everyday, and here I sit recovering from a facelift. I now look at this as not depression, part of the healing process. I am worth this. I too have worked hard, a career, I raised 3 successful children all now married and none of them need us financially. I am not the women that dresses and acts a certain way to attract other men. I didn't have a face lift because I thought it would cure sadness. I was happy before. One of the most important reasons, I could have this work done, was that, I could afford it. I didn't spend money I didn't have. The only reason why I write this part is, I don't think anyone should have this done, unless they can afford, or absolutely need it.

This experience has taught me, to Do my homework before choosing a Dr.. Don't rush into surgery, just because I have time on my hands. To prepare to stay home, and not sleep all day. It has taught me pain tolerence. Yes I had pain, yes I took perscription Pain meds, but only for a few days. I then took advil.

This surgery hurts, it not for the weak, but it is so worth. it. I am now close to week 4 post op. I have hardly any pain, and I have no guilt. I sit here in Dr. Laufer office, completely happy and relaxed, just like when I walk in the first day, after doing my homework and choosing him to do a surgery that was only needed to make me look younger, and I do. Thank you to Dr. Laufer and all of his staff.

Fantastic experience!

I waited 41 years to have rhinoplasty surgery. They only doctor I would trust was Dr. Laufer. He is the most gifted surgeon and wonderful human being. From my initial consultation to post-op, he supported me through it all. You can also tell a lot about a doctor based on their staff. Dr. Laufer's staff is one of the best staffs I have had the pleasure to get to know. Dr. Laufer, his staff, and his beautiful facility will guarantee that all your surgery needs will be met and surpassed. Dr. Laufer has changed my life!

Exceptional Surgeon and staff

Dr.Laufer is not only an amazing surgeon, but very personable. From the first consultation I felt very comfortable with him and knew he was the surgeon I wanted to perform my procedure. I was hesitant for many years to have a breast lift with implants done, but after meeting with him I had no doubt I wanted to move forward. He is not only an exceptional surgeon, I consider him a true artist.

Over 30 years I waited for this surgery... I found the best surgeon for a rhinoplasty in Dr. Laufer

Dr. Laufer came highly recommended by a previous patient. I scheduled my consultation within a few days I was scheduled to see him for a rhinoplasty/ septoplasty consult. From the moment I met the staff I was highly impressed with their professionalism! Then I met Dr. Laufer! His bed side matter is truly wonderful. He is warm , kind and truly passionate about his profession! He listened to my concerns . I felt his truly concerned about me as a person and a patient. There was no doubt in my mind , I wanted Dr. Laufer to correct my issue with my nose. I am truly happy with my results! I can breathe! Plus my nose is exactly want I wanted. I could not have found a better surgeon to perform my surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Laufer as a surgeon but you can rest assure you will gain him as a friend.
