Premier Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery of NY

A desk lamp lights a printed page and pen on a desk by a rainy window, set up for reading a listing closely.

Premier Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery of NY is a practice listed in East Syracuse. The sections below set its published description beside its Google rating.

What the listing says about the practice

The plasticsurgery.org listing states: "Leo Urbinelli MD is medical director and founder of Premier Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery of NY." That is a statement about one person's role. It does not list procedures, and it is not the practice describing itself.

The published rating and review count

Google shows a 5 rating across 23 reviews. On Google rating, highest first, the practice is listed second. Its place rests on that one figure, and the review base is small.

Pros and cons

  • Pro: a top score on Google, shared with two other practices.
  • Pro: a named medical director and founder, according to plasticsurgery.org.
  • Con: the review base behind the score is small.
  • Con: the quoted line covers a role and says nothing about services or results.

Statements worth confirming

The role of medical director and founder comes from a third-party listing. Check it against the practice's own site, premieraestheticsny.com, and ask whether Leo Urbinelli MD is the surgeon you would see.

Where it fits among the alternatives

Crouse Medical Practice Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Stephan Barrientos, MD shows a 5 rating across 36 reviews, a larger base at the same score. Syracuse Plastic Surgery Skin & Wellness shows a 4.9 rating across 1424 reviews, a much larger base at a slightly lower score. Which matters more to you, a perfect score or a deeper set of reviews, decides how these three line up.

Background reading helps with the terms. The Cleveland Clinic's article on plastic surgeons is a plain guide to their work, certification and procedures. For the area, see Wikipedia on Syracuse, New York and University Hill, Syracuse, and the Onondaga Historical Association for local history.

Questions to put to the practice before signing

  • Which procedures does the practice perform, and who performs them?
  • Is Leo Urbinelli MD the surgeon for my case?
  • What does the estimate cover, and what would add to it?
