“Often times people go on without expressing their gratitude for excellent work, so I definitely wanted to make sure you know that you’re amazing at what you do! I can’t express how grateful I am to have chosen you to be my plastic surgeon. I am sooo happy with the results! I can say that you have made my dream come true, to have everything fit me and still look natural and intact. Keep doing what you do best! A million thanks!”

“I am so grateful that I was recommended Dr. Brown by my Ob/Gyn for my tummy tuck and he was also recommended for facial plastic surgery by one of New York’s most prominent plastic surgeons who I saw in the past when I lived there. Dr. Brown is the most kind, approachable and skilled doctor I’ve ever been under the care of. And I couldn’t be happier with the results.”
— Nicole “I had a great experience with Dr. Bruno. I had to have cosmetic work after a breast cancer diagnosis and at the same time as a partial mastectomy. I am very happy with the result and my experience there. He did a terrific job and he couldn’t have been nicer. He even returned one of my calls at 9 pm at night. And his office is well run and the staff are friendly and efficient. I highly recommend.”
