Gary Takowsky M.D
Cosmetic plastic surgery of the face can "turn back time" by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines, sun damage and sagging skin that can make you look angry, sad or tired. Women may decide to undergo plastic surgery to enlarge or reduce their breasts, to achieve a balance in size or shape for their breasts, or to reverse the effects of aging or pregnancy.

Sometimes, our bodies just do not respond to diet and exercise the way we want them to. Cosmetic plastic surgery procedures can reshape many areas by removing excess fat and skin and toning muscle. Skin rejuvenation and resurfacing can be achieved in a number of ways, ranging from laser, light and other energy-based treatments.

Great staff, great service, amazing deals, the doctor does amazing work. He’s open and honest about all procedures. I will be going back for more. Thank you Dr. Takowsky, Renee, Leslie, & the late Robbie for taking such amazing care of me through my procedure.

Not sure how this Dr. even has 4 stars.
My mother went in to get multiple procedures done at once. Off the bat, the Dr. insisted on having additional procedures done and convinced her she needed these things badly. Got to give some credit for the salesmanship.
On the day of the procedure, a very very old nurse (that should be retired at her age, she’s like 80) was sent in to do the paperwork, it appeared even she was confused with the documents and kept getting everything mixed up. They then provided my mother with a cheap paper gown that literally ripped when she was putting it on. We had

I'm honestly shocked at the amount of negative reviews, and for those stating Dr. T isn't licensed or certified...his qualifications are easily Googled AND also are hanging in the exam room.

The waiting room is cozy and inviting. Obviously with COVID, not a plus, but I wouldn't mind having to wait there pre pandemic.

I had an extended tummy tuck, breast augmentation and lipo in three areas at another facility that Dr. Takowsky works with and am two weeks post op. Both post op appointments were at his personal office. The office staff and nurses are warm and friendly and have worked

Be super careful from this Butcher !!!he will take your self-esteem for zero he's not a plastic surgeon.... plastic surgeons don't need to put the patient down tell them they're ugly to get their business be careful you will feel the surgery The pain you will get insults and hear the insults in your hears and feel the pain because you're not fully nome .be careful the surgery is not a real surgery might take even 15 minutes ...the most important for him is to take your money he doesn't care about the outcome he doesn't care about the damaged emotional damage that is

I contemplated long and hard about posting this review. At the end of the day, the public should beaware. You are great risk by letting Dr. Takowski change a bandaid. PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS. I was a client.. I had a tummy tuck.. I am currently being treated by Kaiser ( by a licensed medical professional) for the butcher job.. DO NOT fall for the certificate and certifications talk that Dr Takowski brags about ( it's all paper, you'll never see a license number, certification numbet). DO NOT fall for the warm, inviting, friendly demeanor of Dr Takowski and his staff.. after the chopped

I got the best advice from Dr. Takowsky on what to have done and also what not to have done. Listen to him. He has a talent for seeing you at your best. Years later I'm still so grateful I did the work he suggested!! Love the staff too!! They are the best ever!!

Saw Doctor Wickwire on Tuesday for a procedure and all went well so I wanted to comment on the doctor, office staff, and everything in general. It is so comforting to walk in to an office where you are greeted with a smile and meet my appointment ON TIME. All my questions were answered with care and understanding and I felt like these people really care about what they do and are very good at it. Thank you doctor, thank you staff. If all offices were run like this one it would make visits a breeze and a pleasure!!!

I had an appointment with Dr. Takowsky about a month ago, during which we discussed about a very small surgery that I was supposed to have and the Doctor said that my Insurance covers the cost of it. I had already filled out their application with my information and with my insurance card, and he stated that my Insurance covers everything. He told me that he will call me in 2 days or so. About a month passed and I still heard nothing from him, so I called them back and they told me that they'll call back in 10 minutes... they did not. I called them the next day and they picked up and told

Hi had serveral procedures completed by Dr. Gary Takowsky, my fist last November 27, 2017 I had a upper and lower abdominoplasty. My procedure went well I stayed over night and went home the following day. Dr. Takowsky, was attenuative to my needs addressed all concerns in which I had. I didn't have much pain or discomfort I went home followed up weekly for about a month.

My second procedure was completed Jan 3rd 2018 some more skin removal and contouring to my torso area. The second procedure was more better than the first procedure Dr. Takowsky administered a stem cell infusion which aided

I have been going to Dr Takowsky for 6 years for filler and botox, about 4 years ago I had a medical condition where the muscles in my face dropped.. I went straight to him, and he literally fixed everything and did an eye lift too (my eye lids had dropped too). His work was absolutely amazing! They way he did the eye lift, it only looked like I had eye liner on while the stitches were in, and no one could tell I had anything done when I went to a mandatory function for work 4 days later. To this day, my face and eyes look completely natural (yeah, it does make me look younger too!) I could not

Do not trust this doctor. He claims to be skilled at fixing botched plastic surgery, however, he botched my initial surgery leaving me physically scarred in areas that should have never been cut in the first place. As a result I've had to spend thousands with another doctor in order to fix Dr. Takowsky's mistakes.

I love Dr. Takowsky. I recently had a rhinoplasty consultation with him and was very impressed with his knowledge and portfolio. While I was there I asked about removing some moles. He has this amazing machine that literally zapped the moles away. I was so impressed how they healed, especially around my face that I recommend him to a friend that also had some moles to be removed. She has since been and we both want to go back for more.

My husband had one droopy eye which he had (actally both) corrected by Dr Takowski (Dr T). The incisions were virtually undetectable.
So, when I decided to have my eyes and neck lifted we headed to Dr T for a consultation. He suggested a couple other procedures for a natural look, which I opted for because the price was very resonable. He also offered a great interest-free payment plan, so I took the plunge, even with a two hour drive.
The recovery time was a bit longer than expected (by about a week, due to also having my 12" stomach scar corrected from a previous emergency apendectomy,

Horrible Dr.! Big ego and zero bedside manner. Check out his reviews on Yelp where they ensure the reviews are real unlike his site where his staff posted the good reviews. Check out Yelp. Do yourself a favor and pick a different Doctor that will care about your results!

Competent, knowledgeable, and skilled. He was referred to me by a former patient and I had a positive experience and excellent result. I have referred many friends and even family to Dr. Takowsky because I believe he is in a category of his own.
