Very arrogant, completely unprofessional. There’s a good reason Dr. Chim left. He was the best!! Avoid Dunkin’ at all costs. Comes off like a smarmy unctuous used salesman.

Contracted with Alan Durkin for upper and lower eyelift and neck up lift
and paid $15,000 for all three procedures. Unbelievably, he neglected to perform the neck lift. Follow up visits as he scheduled for me were unreal. When I complained that I was in lots of pain behind my ears, he examined them and said it needed more time to heal. When he walked out of the room, I also complained to the nurse who was still in the room with me, and he took a look. Amazingly, there were 2 staples left in behind each ear. He seemed quite embarrassed for the Dr. , but thankfully the nurse removed them and I had instant relief. If you ask Dr. Durkin too many questions you’ll soon see his Jekyl and Hyde bedside manner. Avoid him at all costs.

The worst of the worst. He injected filler into the epidermis and it resulted in a very lumpy uneven appearance. He also missed the areas completely making issues way way worse. Bedside manner is the worst I have ever seen . And he’s too arrogant to admit he messed up my face . Other drs were appalled when I showed them and I’m starting dissolving. The worst experience ever .

Dr. Alan J. Durkin's response
As cosmetic care providers, our role is to connect with our patients to understand their concerns and hopes and create a plan of care to best achieve their goals. Throughout the process, the patient is in the driver seat. The depth and placement of fillers is a collaborative process, and we only act in accordance with our patients' wishes. In your case, you literally drew where you wanted it placed. I provided what you asked for.
After you had a concern with your treatment, we offered to see you for free for weeks. You elected not to. We pride ourselves on being accessible to our patients should they have any concerns. On the rare occasion that a patient is unsatisfied, we are highly supportive in providing guidance and treatment to improve their outcome. If we can be of any further help, please reach out to our office. We are always eager to discuss.

Disparaged me on line. Denied his wife had made a nasty review of my husbands architecture firm. I have copies of her remarks! Even he denied ever contacting architectural firms. Guess what. well if anyone needs to see it, let me know. Questioned my mental faculties! Not good. The worst of this was he called me up to rail about something I never did, yelled at his staff. If he can be so very wrong on this, just makes me wonder.

We have no idea who you are. We are a Plastic Surgery office, not an architectural firm. Good luck moving forward.

Had reconstruction (again) only because I was told he would put an internal slingshot alleviate some of my discomfort. However when I was under hr changed his mind because he was sure I wouldn't like the results. I have since asked another surgeon to remove the implants but the surgeon I went to refused. So here I am uncomfortable and very disappointed.

Submitted Aug. 23, 2021

Dr. Alan J. Durkin's response
Nothing in this statement is even remotely factual. There is not a single plastic surgeon on earth that would refuse removal of implants. Further, I can only provide what you consent for. The reverse of that is also true: I CANNOT provide something if you do not give consent. I urge you to consider this before looking for further healthcare. Nobody here has anything but support and positivity for you, and our actions have always shown that. Good luck moving forward.

Sadly, the worst lip filler experience ever... complained several times very nicely , trusting they’d actually care, only to be told my lip was scarred, when in fact the filler was poorly done and lumpy/ uneven since last summer NO further filler could be injected until this filler dissolves on its own.... I take a medication that doesn’t allow dissolvable to be injected ... I have been lopsided and lumpy for over a YEAR... but since I’m as was described by Dr “on a budget” I have been dismissed and extremely depressed over the disappointment of how I was treated... how sad that I trusted this office and amazing Surgeon to actually care that my lips were left looking so badly...

I went in planning on getting a facelift but instead, he did a combination of laser, fillers, and Botox and I love it!! I'm so happy. I know I'll go back to him when I'm ready for my facelift.

Dr. Durkin did my facelift in early September, just in time for my medical school reunion. Needless to say, primary care practice and parenthood took their toll. He was my fourth consult, and by far the most comforting. Superior before and afters, felt completely safe in his care. Worth traveling from Boynton. I'm trying to steal him from Vero to come down here!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. While we love Boynton Beach, Vero is our home for good. Hope to see you soon!!
