Syracuse Plastic Surgery Skin & Wellness

Hands hold a stack of index cards at a desk by a rainy window, ready to note questions for a practice.

Syracuse Plastic Surgery Skin & Wellness is a Syracuse practice with a Google Maps profile and its own website. This review reads its listing, then sets the published rating beside it.

What the listing says about the practice

The doctor.webmd.com practice listing states: "Multi-surgeon practice at 3107 E Genesee St, Syracuse." Two facts sit in that line. There is more than one surgeon, and there is a street address. The line does not say which surgeon does what.

The published rating and review count

Google shows a 4.9 rating across 1424 reviews. On Google rating, highest first, the practice is listed fourth. The review base is the largest of any practice in the ordering, which gives the score more behind it than any other practice here.

Pros and cons

  • Pro: a very deep review base behind a high score.
  • Pro: more than one surgeon, according to doctor.webmd.com.
  • Con: a rating for a whole practice cannot tell you about one surgeon.
  • Con: the quoted line gives an address but no services.

Statements worth confirming

"Multi-surgeon" is a statement about the practice, not about the person who would operate on you. Ask who the surgeons are, what each treats most often, and who would handle your case. Ask whether the address on the listing is where consults take place.

Where it fits among the alternatives

Premier Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery of NY shows a 5 rating across 23 reviews. Crouse Medical Practice Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Stephan Barrientos, MD shows a 5 rating across 36 reviews. Both score slightly higher on fewer reviews. CNY Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery shows a 4.9 rating across 881 reviews, the same score on a smaller base.

For background before booking, the Cleveland Clinic's article on plastic surgeons explains what they do, certification and procedures. Wikipedia covers Syracuse, New York and University Hill, Syracuse. For the area's past, there is the Onondaga Historical Association.

Questions to put to the practice before signing

  • Which surgeon would perform my procedure?
  • How does the practice describe each surgeon's focus?
  • What does the written estimate include?

Keep the answers in writing, next to the line quoted from doctor.webmd.com.
