CNY Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery

A hand fills in a checklist beside a manila folder on a desk by a rainy window, ready to note what to confirm with a practice.

CNY Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery is a plastic surgery practice listed in East Syracuse. This review quotes what its Google profile says and sets the published rating beside it.

What the profile says about the practice

Google Maps gives the practice's location as "Practice office at 5898 Bridge St, East Syracuse, NY 13057." That is an address. It does not describe services, surgeons or procedures, so those claims have to be read from the practice's own pages.

The rating and where it places the practice

Google shows a 4.9 rating across 881 reviews. The ordering used on this site ranks by Google rating, highest first. On that criterion, the score places the practice fifth. Three practices with a perfect score and one with the same score are listed ahead of it.

Pros and cons

  • Pro: a high score on a deep review base.
  • Pro: a stated street address on its Google profile.
  • Con: the quoted line says nothing about services or surgeons.
  • Con: fifth place reflects one number and no more.

Statements worth confirming

Nothing on the profile line describes procedures, so ask for that wording directly. Ask who would see you at a consult and which procedures that surgeon handles most. Ask whether the Bridge St office is where both consults and procedures take place.

Where it fits among the alternatives

Syracuse Plastic Surgery Skin & Wellness shows a 4.9 rating across 1424 reviews, the same score on a larger base. Crouse Medical Practice Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Stephan Barrientos, MD shows a 5 rating across 36 reviews, a higher score on a far smaller base. On the criterion, this practice sits close to both, and the deciding detail will come from what each says in writing.
