I couldn't be happier with my experience with Dr. Hilinski! Friendly staff, short wait times, extensive pre-operative information, great follow up. I was satisfied with every step of the process and so happy with my results. I would highly recommend Dr. Hilinski to any family member or friend!

Dr. Hilinski is truly committed to the care and healing of his patients. The after care following my procedure has been exceptional- he effectively communicates his care plan, and he is very knowledgeable regarding the procedure and the delicate process of healing related to his practice.

I believe other doctors would have shuffled me along by now, but Dr. Hiliniski has been invested in the optimal outcome, and his dedication has worked to achieve the results I was hoping for.

His staff is amazing, scheduling is always easy and efficient, and patient comfort throughout the whole process is clearly a priority. Overall, a great experience!!

Dr Hilinski did my revision surgery and I am in disbelief with the results. Other surgeons had refused to operate & Dr. Toriumi had suggested a 20% improvement. Dr Hilinski somehow gave me 100%. Truly a great surgeon. And an ever greater human. If you’re looking for revision, you are safe with him.

I have been researching and wanting to get my ears reduced for a while, so when I finally got the opportunity, I jumped on it. I was a bit nervous about it, but I immediately felt at ease with Dr. Hilinski and his friendly, professional staff. Except for some minor pain from the initial anesthetic injections, the procedure was painless and was over before I knew it. As expected, I had some pain afterwards once the anesthetic wore off, but that was easily taken care of with some medication. It's been less than 48 hours since the procedure, but despite the swelling and redness, my ears already look so much better. I am glad I chose Dr. Hilinski and am excited to see my ears only look better and better as they heal.
