Where do I begin? Here's a good place IT HURTS SO BAD! I went to Dardano one and a half years after cervical spine surgery where they make a less than one inch incision in the front of your neck. The stitch job from the surgery did not heal well causing me a lot of pain. I went to Dardano to re-do it properly and stop the pain. He evaluated it and left me with every indication this was no problem and routine work for him. 5 months later after Dardano's surgery it hurts just as bad and I have an uneven pocket of skin that sags on the opposite side of my neck. As seen in the picture. He told me it was not a big deal he understood I was in pain and he said he could help me. If privacy is a concern for you well that's just not going to happen. He always has 1 to 3 students with him at all times, so on my last visit he told the student I came to him with an infection and he had to drain it. Where did that come from? Again this was one and a half years AFTER the original surgery. If it was infected and needed to be drained I would have wound up in the emergency room and not making an appointment on the phone then waiting 2 weeks to be seen for evaluation then scheduling an appointment to do his surgery 6 weeks later. Dardano's scar from the cut he made where there was a less than one inch incision was a good 3 inches long and was very bumpy and jagged. He began to push $40 a week visits to see someone who rents space from him to do Ultrasound therapy. This came out of nowhere. I told him I was not prepared to spend $40 a week for an undetermined amount of time. With that the office called me and said Dardano would pay for the first 4 visits. To his credit I appreciated that but I don't believe ultrasound is effective at all. I did however decide to get a second opinion because the scar was so bad so I went to a Dermatologist who recommended cortisone injections which sounded better to me than $40.00 a week ultrasound treatments and I wound up doing two treatments with her 6 weeks apart and I believe this is what saved me from the Frankenstein scar in the picture I added. He does not tell you about the $40.00 ultrasound treatments until after you wind up with a horrible scar. On a follow up visit I told Dardano I went to a Dermatologist for a second opinion and this agitated him. He sternly said "I am your surgeon speak to me if you want cortisone injections". Well I never knew about Cortisone injections for this and he never offered. He only offered $40.00 a week Ultrasound treatments AFTER he did the surgery and he does it so casually as if $160.00 a month for unexpected Ultrasound treatment is nothing. I called the office about his fairy tale story about coming to him with an infection that needed to be drained that he told the student and the excuses started flying all over the place to defend him. Well maybe he got you mixed up with someone else she said. He knew exactly who I was when I came to him and why I came to him. The office manager called me back two days later with even more excuses. She asked what can we do for you when she should have said the doctor wants you to come in to resolve these issues and then ended the call with your always welcome to come back to our office in the future as if I would ever go back there. Dardano is a plastic surgeon you go to him so you don't wind up with visible scars and sagging pockets of skin. So after 2 years I have the same pain, a visible scar that's still healing and a sagging pocket of skin that will never go away. And now to add more insult to injury he sent me a bill for the last office visit where he lied and made up that fairy tale story. This was a follow up visit that is not chargeable. I now have to call the insurance company and do more work to get this bill taken care of. Dardano absolutely does not care. That last visit meant nothing to him that I was still in pain and I had a sagging pocket of skin he was full of nothing but excuses and fairy tale stories. Just like so many other doctors these days its all about seeing as many patients as you can, the money and NOT the quality of care. I would never recommend him. read more

Dardano is very rude and unprofessional. he performed abdominal surgery on me , I am ten months post op and having horrible pain and difficulties ... I went to see him and he has declined to order appropriate testing to find out what's wrong .. He asked me to call another doctor to find out why I'm in such pain !!! I wish that was all... but no..... Katherine , the front desk lady is the most despicable in attitude ... Shes probably in her late 70s and acts entitled and rude almost very time.... today she yelled at me asking me to leave the office because my baby was crying... Full blown yelling.... a nightmare ... Dardano may have been a good surgeon 10 years ago... not anymore. read more

Send A bill to my insurance co for over $1700 saying he spent over 45 minutes with me while I never saw him. A nurse changed a bandage on hand and I was there about 20 minutes. I was told it would cost me $315.00 and they waived 150.00 because it was my first visit. read more

Ladies and gentlemen let your search for the perfect surgeon end here!! Dr. Dardano is by far the best it gets for any procedure you are looking to have done. Not only is he beyond qualified, he is also the perfect gentleman. I had been debating my procedure for quite some time. When I finally came around to searching for a doctor and being in S. Florida, I of course began my search in the Miami & Fort Lauderdale area- huge mistake. Don't even waste your time looking for these "top notch" doctors. During one of the consultations I went to for a doctor who was "the best" I wasn't even examined! No measurements, no discussion- just literally "here's what I'm going to do. Go pay with the secretary and schedule a date" I was honestly appalled at how anyone like that could even be in business. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Dr. Dardano and his wonderful staff! From the moment you walk in you are greeted by smiling faces, treated with professionalism, and no rush to get you out. Not a penny was discussed during my consultation with Dr. Dardano after patiently answering all of my five thousand questions, I was directed to his Patient Coordinator Ms. Stein- also amazing! Answered every question. No pressure to book anything, no pressure for payment. This office is incredible. One day my mom just happened to be in town from out of state- Dr. Dardano & Ms. Stein took the time to meet with her and answer the same five thousand questions I had already asked, but they did so with grace and smiles- even commending her for the thorough research. I had never been under anesthesia, I had never had any major surgery ever. So needless to say, on the date of surgery I was a nervous wreck. And then Dr. Dardano just walks in and all of a sudden, I swear he has this immaculate aura that just radiates a sense of calm and bliss. The last thing I remember [before the drugs kicked in-LOL] was him coming up to me, telling me I was going to be fine, and giving me a gentle hand squeeze. It's those tiny details that have driven me to absolutely adore him, his colleagues, and all that they offer. Those details make the difference. I would not consider seeing any other surgeon than him. Please take my advice. Schedule a consultation. He won't disappoint you. **UPDATE: over a YEAR after my procedure and he still always welcomes me into his office for little checks ups here and there whenever I want to ease my nerves and simply ensure everything is where it should be. One year later and my 5 star review stands! This is the best place to be, they treat you like family** read more

I have to say I went through one of the worst or deals I've ever been through in a hospital. I was stitched up wrong after getting jumped by a couple people and I have to say that the recommendation to go to Dr. Dardano was absolutely the best recommendation I could get I was so self-conscious that I had this huge bubble on my face and not only did he reassure me that it would be more than fine after he perform surgery on it I did hesitate. I have to say he was 110% right and I recommend anybody that has any scarring problems cosmetic problems or anything to this office. Not only is the staff absolutely friendly warming and makes you feel right at home the doctor is an amazing man who is gentle and walks you through and makes you laugh and makes you feel amazing throughout the whole time. Thank you so much for everything you did for me Dr. Dardano and I highly again suggest that every single person that is looking for an amazing cosmetic plastic surgery please think about this office I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

I absolute love going to Dr. Dardanos office. He and his staff goes above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and knowledgeable about my options. They are honest and I always leave happy. I highly recommend anyone to this reputable highly trained office read more

Dr. Dardano is nothing short of an angel and a miracle worker. My abdominal wall was severely compromised after a perforated bowel, emergency surgery and seven subsequent surgeries to save my life and get rid of the multiple infections caused by the perforated bowel. I had a colostomy for over eight months which thankfully was reversed but left me with a scarred and horrible looking tummy. I was excited and scared when it came time for me to finally have my reconstruction surgery which involved fixing a huge ventral hernia, using biologic mesh to reconstruct my abdominal wall and a tummy tuck. Dr. Dardano used his "sandwich method" of using layers of biologic mesh to reconstruct my abdominal wall and I could not be more pleased by the results. He explained everything in detail, answered all my questions and the result was outstanding. When they took the wound vac off at the hospital and I saw my new tummy for the first time, I cried tears of joy! All of the original scarring had vanished and was replaced with a very thin scar that I know will fade in time. It was truly unbelievable. If you are looking for an excellent plastic surgeon, look no further - this man is a genius! read more

BAD tummy tuck. After one year still have stomach and now also bulge on left side. Not "flat" as Dr. Dardano said it would be. Feel like I still ned a tummy tuck. Very disappointed. read more

"Dr. Dardano Delivers Real Results" I had my first breast augmentation when I was 22 years old. They never really looked quite right or felt comfortable. They were also causing me discomfort on a daily basis. I suffered for years and finally decided at age 46 to fix these ill positioned, sadly separated, asymmetrical messes! I had enough with using painful tapes, push up pads, and cleavage gadgets! At my consultation with Dr. Dardano, I felt very confident he was the surgeon for this challenge. After examining me he explained to me that my implants were completely under the muscle and that I had an animation deformity. My implants were not in an optimal position physically and aesthetically. He described his surgical plan in a way that I could understand. I was very relieved to know of his expertise in fixing these types of complications. I immediately knew that Dr. Dardano was my number one choice! He stated that I would need a good deal of work to get the implants in proper place and may need a breast lift (mastopexy) as well to correct the sagginess and asymmetry. This would entail scars around the nipple as well as vertical scars down the breasts. I was ok with that. As a nurse, I had realistic expectations but also as a woman, I of course wanted perfect results. I showed Dr. Dardano a picture of full round breasts with heaping cleavage! I did not want to pressure him but deep down I was hoping he could deliver those perfect breasts to me. He did not promise that he would make me look like the model in the photo, however said he would get the best results possible. Incredibly...my results are Off-The-Chart!!! I woke up with the most voluptuous looking cleavage where I used to have a wide gap of unsightly chest bones! Second surprise was that he did not need to perform a lift so I have no visible scars!!! They look so natural and have a beautiful shape, I still can't quite believe they are mine. It was a home run for sure! Dr. Dardano came to me highly recommended for his breast and body work and now I see why! If it was not for him, I would have never had the courage to go through with it. I will be forever thankful! Importantly, his office staff is more than fabulous, I could have never done it without their support! Can I mention how beautiful they all are too! Starting from Kathryn at the front desk with her warm and inviting welcomes, to smiling Nicolette, to Lydia (ARNP), making me feel so comfortable with the surgical plan, to Lisa (Surgical Coordinator ), preparing me both mentally and physically! And now, Nany (Medical Aesthetician), doing my postoperative Ultrasound/Lymphatic Drainage massage to promote healing, decrease swelling, and break up scar tissue. As far as I know, Dr. Dardano is the only surgeon that offers this in-house service to his postoperative patients. I highly recommend this! Thank you for giving me the breasts I have always dreamed of! Dr. Dardano Delivers Real Results!!! read more

Saw him for rhinoplasty...results were horrible. He was known for boob jobs but I went to him for a nose job. I told him I wanted subtle results as my nose was wide. I have no idea what he did but my nose bone was shaved in the wrong places. There is a big dent in the bone and causes what looks like a shadow on my nose. When I called to complain they kept telling me it was still healing and the shadow appearance would go away. It never did and I was told I'd have to pay for surgery again. I had to borrow money then just to afford the surgery so could not afford another one and didn't trust him to do it again. Now I'm stuck with it and people constantly ask me how did I break my nose? It's horrible and embarrassing. I would never recommend this doctor! He totally ruined me! read more

I am 8 weeks post Explant and breast lift and am thrilled with not only the surgical outcome but the post surgical care and therapy Provided by Nany! I know when choosing a surgeon there are thousands to choose from. Dr Dardano is in my opinion one of the best. He is on a recommended list at Women's Health Partners for a reason. He is kind, considerate, patient and his surgical work is artistry. He takes pride in his "work" and it shows. I came to Dr Dardano a few years ago inquiring about changing out my implants but was suffering from random health issues so decided to wait until I felt better. Fast forward to November 2019 when I realized my body was dealing with bii. So ... I went to Dr D again asking options. I struggled with the decision to simply explant as these girls were in me for 16 plus years but he assured me I would be perky and petit and I am! He removed my implants and capsule in tact and then gave me a lift and used my own tissue to augment. One breast had more tissue and he made them look even. My itty bitty titties are a work of art. I am so grateful! Post surgery I had a zillion questions and he answered them all with so much patience. I know that the body takes time to heal and no matter how good a surgeon is a post surgery protocol of massage therapy is important for healing. When Dr D introduced me to Nany at his office and suggested a protocol I signed up immediately. Nany uses ultrasound and manual techniques to break up the scar tissue and she is brilliant! The blood is flowing, the body is healing and I am thrilled. I highly suggest all surgical patients do post surgical therapy. The body will thank you! The fact that DR D has the service in his office and suggests it is just another reason why he is ahead of the game. Thank you Dr D and Nany for your professionalism, compassion and patience.

Dr. Dardano is a truly breast augmentation specialist. He had to re-do my surgery from another doctor due to a capsule contractual. My breast now look amazing, natural and soft. Also, I have no pain at all, no spasms, nothing. My surgery was done just 5 days ago and I don't even feel that i just had a surgery. I am feeling great and my breasts are much better than before. He put a gummy bear silicone (350HP-both). Dr. Dardano is an excellent surgeon. read more

Dr. Anthony Dardano is a saint in a lab coat. I cannot say enough about him and his wonderful team. From the moment you walk into their offices, you sense that they are there to make you comfortable, and ready to listen to all of your needs. Without getting too much into the complications that I had from a prior surgery, I contracted MRSA from a local Hospital that left my abdomen with a 13" x 6" open wound. From the moment that it was discovered that I would need some evasive work done, Dr. Dardano and his team set up a plan, and I am thrilled with the results. My disastrous scar from the complication is not noticeable at all. I would highly recommend this team to anyone for any plastic surgery needs or reconstructive surgery needs. I would truly like to thank Dr. Dardano, Lydia, Lisa and Morgan for making this experience an incredibly positive one. read more
