Syracuse Facial Plastic Surgeons Reviewed

Ordered by Google rating, highest first.

A hand pulls a folder from a desk file sorter by a rainy window, going through practice listings one at a time.

These five entries run fifth through ninth in a Google rating ordering of practices around Syracuse. Each entry says only what the practice's listings publish. The ranking sits next to the individual reviews, which quote those listings.

Two Wikipedia entries give the local setting: Syracuse, New York and University Hill, Syracuse. For history, try the Onondaga Historical Association. For terms such as certification, the Cleveland Clinic's article on plastic surgeons is plain reading.

What the ranking measures

The criterion is Google rating, highest first, taken from each practice's Google Maps profile. CNY Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery has a 4.9 rating across 881 reviews, which puts it in fifth place. A rating is one number. It says nothing about which surgeon you would see or what that surgeon treats.

The ranked window

  1. CNY Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery
  2. Natural Face Clinic
  3. Dr. Prashant K. Upadhyaya
  4. Eye Plastic & Reconstructive
  5. Philip A. Falcone, MD, FACS

Entry by entry

CNY Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery gives its office on Google Maps as "Practice office at 5898 Bridge St, East Syracuse, NY 13057". That is an address and nothing more, so the services need to be read from the practice's own pages.

Natural Face Clinic carries a 4.8 rating across 387 reviews, a deeper base than the next three entries. Medifind.com says "Sang W. Kim MD practices facial plastic surgery at the East Syracuse office on Brittonfield Parkway". Of the five entries, this is the one whose listing names facial plastic surgery outright.

Dr. Prashant K. Upadhyaya is listed in Syracuse with a 4.4 rating across 18 reviews. For anything beyond that figure, ask the practice what it treats and who performs it.

Eye Plastic & Reconstructive is listed in North Syracuse, and its profile shows a 4.3 rating across 22 reviews. The name alone does not tell you which procedures are offered, so ask.

Philip A. Falcone, MD, FACS closes the window with a 4 rating across 4 reviews. It is the lowest rating of any practice in the ordering that has one, and the review base is very small.

Claims worth confirming

The Natural Face Clinic statement above comes from medifind.com, which is a third-party listing. It is not the practice speaking. A surgeon's name on a listing can go out of date, so confirm who currently practices at the office.

Pairing the list with the reviews

Use this window to decide which practices deserve a closer read, not which one to book. Open the individual review for each practice you shortlist and compare its quoted listing with its rating. Then call and ask for the key claim in writing before you sign anything.
