Had a mole on nose since birth that I've wanted removed my whole life. Was so afraid to do it. Saw Dr. Backstein eventually after years of being self-conscious about it. He was straight-forward and told me what to expect and the risks involved. Did not try to convince me at all despite the relatively high price tag. I took a leap of faith and did it. So glad I did. Results are very nice and experience was seamless.

Had my ear lobe piercings fixed by Dr. Backstein. Really easy experience and it looks good.

I had the privilege of Dr. Backstein’s skill’s recently to remove a troublesome spot on my back. He was prompt, friendly, clear in his explanation and didn’t make small, idle chitchat. All his efforts were spent concentrating on the task at hand. His nurse and all the other staff at Lynne Institute were professional and efficient. Sadly, my spot is melanoma, but he’s been quick to contact me and now organizing the next steps for me. I’ve great faith in this doctor and you should too.

I saw Dr. Backstein at the Centre for Minor Surgery. The facility is gorgeous and the staff friendly. No waiting around like at other doctor's offices. The surgery was basically painless and he had a friendly but professional manner. Most importantly, the surgery was a success and I am happy with my results.

Dr. Richard Backstein removed a cyst from my scalp. His bedside manner was cold and removed. The procedure felt rushed. He did not confirm that the numbing had taken effect, and I felt the incision and each stitch.

Years ago my ear lobe piercings tore from heavy earrings. I couldn't be bothered to do anything about it, but I inherited some beautiful diamond earrings and just couldn't stop dreaming of wearing them. I did some research and found Dr. Backstein and the Centre for Minor Surgery. I was literally in and out in 30 minutes and my ears are as good as new. Just a few more weeks to let them heal and I'll be good to go to get them pierced again and wear those beautiful diamonds. I never would have imagined how easy a process it was. Highly recommend.

I had an excellent experience recently at the Centre for Minor Surgery with Dr. Backstein. He was on time, courteous and professional. The results were exactly as I had hoped for and the staff were friendly. He and his clinic are top notch.

I would just like to thank Dr. Backstein for everything he's done for me. For years doctors were telling me not to remove my moles because they would leave terrible scars. After reading some reviews, I finally took the plunge and had them removed by Dr. Backstein because I was really self-conscious about them. The results are beyond fantastic and I couldn't be happier. The entire experience was also efficient and friendly. I would definitely recommend him and his staff at the Centre for Minor Surgery.

Finally a doctor who actually explains things! He has a very calm manner, which helped relax me during what would have otherwise been a stressful experience. My cyst removal was basically painless and the scar is coming along nicely. He was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad I took her advice. You get what you pay for.
