I recently had upper and lower eyelid surgery with Dr Loeb. From start to finish my exoerience was wonderful. Dr Loeb really listened and understood my concerns. I had complete confidence in Dr Loeb , the anesthesiologist and the rest of his excellent staff. I am thrilled with my results and would highly recommend Dr Loeb.

Dr. Loeb is the absolute A-list choice, and crème de la crème when there is a discussion of any plastic surgeon. His demeanor is outstanding, and he will set aside any reservations or nervousness you may have. Together with his fabulous, attentive staff, you will begin to feel like family almost immediately. I initially consulted with him regarding rhinoplasty (for obvious reasons after seeing a profile picture of myself) but while there we also began to discuss other "troubling" areas and the discussion turned to liposuction. He indicated both procedures could be performed on the same day, so I said let's do it all. It's now 2 years later and I couldn't be happier. My nose looks completely natural, and complements my face perfectly. It's the nose I should have been born with, and the liposuction removed what years of diet and exercise could not. Earlier this year I went back to see him regarding a breast lift and enlargement, and once again his patience, kindness, and reassurance convinced me to go through with the procedure. Once again the outcome is spectacular. My breasts look completely natural, not like two softballs taped to my chest. If you are considering any type of plastic surgery, I strongly recommend seeing Dr. Loeb. You won't be sorry. He is THE BEST! Liz - NY, NY

Dr. Loeb is the best of the best. Im 18 years old and went to Dr. Loeb for revision rhinoplasty. I had my previous rhinoplasty done by another NYC top doctor. However, after the first few months, my nose began to look more and more bulbous. The nose began to look like it had originally. My friend had undergone rhinoplasty the same time as me and she used Dr. Loeb. She had the most beautiful nose I've ever seen.

I went to Dr. Loeb for a consultation and he quickly explained to me that my nose had gone back to its droopy state because of the open rhinoplasty technique, rather than closed. My mom was hesitant about undergoing a second procedure at such a young age, but Dr. Loeb made her feel very confident. He was extremely knowledgable and explained to us the entire procedure and why this time it would work. My past doctor's office was like a factory, I had never seen him for more than 10 minutes at a time. However, Dr. Loeb spent a ton of time with us in each and every appointment. He was extremely personable and you can tell he really cares about his patients.

The procedure went smoothly and his nurses have great bed side manner. I felt very well taken care of, and the nurses can even FaceTime you if you have any concerns or problems. The day that I got the cast taken off, I was amazed. I'm not the easiest patient, and I'm very hard to please - but Dr. Loeb gave me the nose of my dreams. I could not believe he knew exactly what I wanted and was able to do it. Dr. Loeb is the nicest doctor I've ever met and it was nice to use a doctor who is so passionate about their work. Dr. Loeb also offered me great advice, he told me not to continue to look at my nose in the mirror - because it will continue to change and not to notice the minute details - just to realize that its much better than it was.

I'm beyond impressed with Dr. Loeb's work and his bed side manner. He has spent a ton of time with me in appointments, is passionate, personable, and extremely friendly. What a nice man and a talented doctor (practically an artist).

I highly highly recommend Dr. Loeb.

I recently went to Dr. Loeb for a tummy tuck and a breast lift and augmentation. About five year ago I went to a different surgeon for a tummy tuck and I was very unhappy with the results so I sought out Dr. Loeb to redo the procedure. I was reticent about undergoing surgery again because my first experience (with another surgeon) was so poor. I found my experience with Dr. Loeb to be very, very different and I am so happy that I chose to do my surgeries with him. First, the staff, in general, is attentive, kind and reassuring. Everyone took a personal interest in my procedure, my recovery and me. Dr. Loeb spent a lot of time talking with me before the surgery. In fact, because of my nerves, he did a second consultation with me and he took a personal phone call form me. By the time my surgery date arrived I felt comfortable and secure that he understood my expectations and that he could deliver on them. The night before the procedure the anesthesiologist called me to reassure me. The day of the procedure all personnel, including Dr. Loeb comforted me and by the time I was in the surgical suite I was extremely confident and calm. I spent the night in the office with two kind and caring nurses and I left the next day understanding my recovery plans. The entire process was professional. But here’s the best part: the result was everything I expected and more. Having been through a disappointing procedure with a disappointing result (from another surgeon), I am so grateful and happy that I went to Dr. Loeb. He expertise is expressed in his results and I am so, so happy with mine!

Dr. Loeb profoundly affected my life in a positive way. Having been born with my grandmother's large, fleshy, bulbous nose, I had always hated my nose. When i saw my wedding pictures, I wanted to cry. My nose was so big and ugly. But even when I managed to save the money for the surgery, I found myself procrastinating, until a friend at work recommended Dr. Loeb. I found my courage and visited him last February for a consultation. His professional, caring manner blew me away and gave me the self-confidence I needed to undergo the procedure. On the morning of his surgery, I was so nervous! But his warm, lovely staff, especially Lisa and Oreal, calmed me down and even made me laugh. Before I knew it, I was waking up on the other side on the surgery with Lisa and the other nurses and staff members taking care of me and making me laugh again. Dr. Loeb had told me all about the procedure, so I knew what to expect, but honestly, the recovery was not at all as bad as I had expected! I was afraid of packing, but he didn't do it, which I believe made the procedure and the recovery much easier. I sat on the couch and slept in a recliner for the first few days and nights following the procedure. The best was the "unveiling" a week later, when I saw my new nose for the first time. I was so happy!!! For the first time ever, I was able to look in the mirror without averting my gaze from my horrible nose. I think it is sleek and completely natural looking, and I receive compliments from people all the time. The bottom line is that Dr. Loeb is not only brilliant; he is also caring and honest and will make you feel very comfortable with your decision. I am so glad Dr. Loeb performed my surgery, and I cannot recommend him enough!

I never bother to write online reviews, but Dr. Loeb and the work he did for me impacted my life in such positive ways, I feel moved to share.

I discovered Dr. Loeb when I was 27 years old. I had been working as a professional actress in New York for about 3 years at the time and had been modeling for 1 year after a series of fortunate events. While I was relatively confident young woman, I had been plagued for years with hating my nose. My nose wasn't terrible or huge, just a little too bulbous at the tip and (after a break in college) a bit wide at the bridge. For years I tried to forget about it and be comfortable despite of it. But after seeing myself of TV numerous times and then in modeling pictures, I realized I was not able to shake this dissatisfaction with my face. I liked how I looked, except for my nose. And it began to effect my ability to be a good actress and model. I was too self-conscious. I was always worried about how my nose looked on camera. When I would see myself, all I could see was my nose.

After getting a referral from a model friend, who at first had told me a "friend" of her's had a phenomenal nose job from Dr. Loeb but later admitted it was her perfect nose that was in fact the work of Dr. Loeb, I decided to make an appointment. What struck me the most about my friend's nose was that it didn't look fake like a lot of cookie cutter nose jobs that you see, it looked like a unique nose that suited her face.

Soon as I sat down in Dr. Loeb's office I immediately felt comfortable. Dr. Loeb's bedside manner is phenomenal. He never made me feel flawed or scrutinized, he simply helped me see how a few slight changes to my nose could help me bring out the beauty of the rest of my face instead of overpowering it. The imaging he did really sold me on the procedure and I booked a rhinoplasty for a few weeks later.

After a quick recovery period, my bandages came off and there was the nose of my dreams, the nose he had projected with his imaging software, the nose that I had before I became a teenager and it grew just a little too round. I couldn't believe how much I suddenly loved my face!

I can honestly say, that personally this nose job was the best thing I could ever do for myself. I no longer was plagued with self-consciousness surrounding my nose, and as a result I became a much better actress and model. I was no longer obsessing in my head over what my nose looked like. I now trusted I was beautiful and really got over a lot of my vanity and insecurity and was able to focus on my job. My modeling clients didn't even notice the rhinoplasty, they just thought I was looking incredible all of a sudden (I dyed my hair to throw off the transition).

In the 6 years since my rhinoplasty, I have been in to see Dr. Loeb a couple more times. I now trusted him implicitly. When I asked him about the deepening expression lines on my forehead, he encouraged me to wait on botox, explaining the possibility of it changing my look while I was still this young. That only raised my confidence and respect for him, he really wanted me to look my best and most natural. When I went to him for a subtle lip enhancement, he gave me just that, an incredibly natural but fuller lip (using filler), that again no one could quite put their finger on.

I now tell all my friends considering having enhancement work done to go to Dr. Loeb. He is a true artist with his patient's best interest at heart. As an actress and a model, having bad work done could have completely damaged my career. I feel so lucky I found Dr. Loeb. He freed me from my self-consciousness surrounding my nose, made me more beautiful, and contributed greatly to my confidence and longevity in my career. I am still modeling into my thirties and a better actress then I have ever been. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Dr. Thomas Loeb is a miracle worker and he has changed my life tremendously. I am a 24 year old female and I had a rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Loeb on July 1st and the results are phenomenal. Keep in mind it has been 2 weeks post-op and I look amazing. You wouldn't even think I had anything done if you didn't know me before. I healed very well, swelling and bruising was very minimal post surgery. Prior to surgery, I had a humped nose and wide tip. We narrowed the nostrils and lowered the hump. I met with Dr. Loeb 2 times ( 1 time consultation and 1 time a week before surgery), he took pictures and with computer imaging I was able to get an idea of how the results would look. Dr. Loeb answered all questions I had and made me feel confident and comfortable from the start. I stumbled upon Dr. Loeb when I was looking for a good plastic surgeon on the internet. I saw he had been featured on TV and big time magazines such as Allure as one of the top doctors. He has extensive before and after pictures with results on his website. At first, I couldn't find too many reviews on Dr. Loeb that is why I am taking the time to write one on here to help you folks out there with your decision. I had wished more patients had taken the time to write reviews however, on his website there are extensive before and after pictures like I said before. Additionally, Dr. Loeb's entire staff is friendly, caring, professional and accommodating to your needs. Love all the lovely ladies working at the NYC office, O'real, Irena, Lisa & Heidi. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes. Post operation, the nurses were taking care of all of my needs, I don't have 1 complaint. Dr. Loeb is continuing to see me post-op to ensure everything is healing properly and always answers any questions I may have or concerns. Dr. Loeb is patient and has a gentle touch. Plus he is a perfectionist, this is a definitely a quality you want in a surgeon! I just had an appointment with Dr. Loeb last week and I am seeing him again on July 29. Unlike many others, Dr. Loeb genuinely loves what he does and he is great at what he does. If you are considering plastic surgery, I would highly recommend doing yourself a favor, and schedule a consultation with Dr. Loeb. Keep in mind it is a scary thing to trust anyone to do work on your face but I have 100% confidence and trust in Dr. Loeb. The results were so natural, he gave me the nose I should have been born with. All my colleagues at work keep telling me how I look even more beautiful but they can't quite tell what I had done! The way I am feeling is indescribable, I am forever grateful to Dr. Loeb. All my life when I looked in the mirror and pictures all I can see is my nose. Now, I love looking at myself in the mirror. Saving towards this self improvement and trusting Dr. Loeb to make this change was the best decision I have made in my 24 years. Like another patient wrote below, he is truly an artist.

I don't usually post comments on the internet, however I felt I needed to give Dr. Thomas Loeb the credit he truly deserves. I came to Dr. Loeb for a revision rhinoplasty after having had two prior surgeries with Dr. Norman Pastorek. My experience with Dr. Pastorek was more than terrible. Unhappy with my results feeling angry and cheated. I was anxious to meet Dr. loeb after my second surgery swelling was gone. Not only was he compassionate toward me and what I had been through, I felt really confident after the consultation that he was more than capable to do the job and in a different league than other surgeons. My surgery went smooth and painless and was done in his own surgery room. This I preferred to being a large hospital. Now that all the swelling is gone, I am very happy with the results! He gave me the nose I envisioned in my head all along. It's beautiful, straight, no hump and still natural looking. Dr. loeb is incredible, and will be my plastic surgeon for life.

Dr. Loeb is truly an artist. I can not even explain how happy I am with my results. While my nose was not terrible, I was always uncomfortable with the shape/size. He knew exactly what to do and made it softer and basically perfect. Most people do not know I had work done, but can see a change. I have received numerous compliments, and feel better than ever. He is truly an artist. I would go back to him in a heart-beat and recommend anyone to him for any work. He is smart, professional, and confident. His staff is also amazing.

I had a lower face/neck lift and when the bandages were removed after two days, there was no bruising and hardly any swelling. I was extremely happy with the results, which looked completely natural, yet eliminated the jowls and sagging neck. I was anxious not to look as though I had had cosmetic surgery, and I am thrilled that I could get such wonderful results and still look natural. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
