    My journey began in March 2019 when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer. After my mastectomy…read moresurgery in April 2019, Dr Valerie Ablaza from The Plastic Surgery Group performed the 1st phase of my reconstruction surgery with the insertion of breast expanders. I recently had the 2nd phase of my reconstruction done, by having the expanders replaced with silicone implants, again performed by Dr Ablaza. Going into surgery for the 2nd time, I felt such peace, knowing that Dr Ablaza would be there. Her calm & compassionate demeanor quieted my fears, which made all the difference for me. As an added bonus, Teresa Hartman, PA-C, assisted Dr Ablaza with my surgery. I have come to know Teresa thru my numerous visits the Plastic Surgery Group. Teresa has personally attended to me. You will never find a more friendly & gentle soul than Teresa. Her smile is contagious, lights up the room & makes a dreary day bright. When I saw Teresa enter the Operating Room, my morning was complete! The passion, warmth, care & support of Dr Ablaza during one of the most devastating traumas of my life, was a cornerstone of my successful reconstruction & the beautiful amazing outcome. I look in the mirror & feel like my old self again. I am so amazed at how my reconstruction looks. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would look so great! Dr Ablaza captured my vision & executed that vision to perfection. I cannot begin to express my gratitude, appreciation & satisfaction with Dr Ablaza, Teresa & the entire staff of The Plastic Surgery Group & The Surgical Center. From the front desk, to the nurses, and the doctors. You are ALL a compassionate, friendly, devoted, supportive & highly competent staff. Each & everyone of you are courteous, professional & made my visits there as comfortable as you possibly could. The best team of medical staff you'll ever meet. I am so endlessly happy that I chose this practice for my reconstruction. I would highly, highly recommend The Plastic Surgery Group in Montclair, New Jersey. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH. YOU ARE ALL PHENOMENAL.

    I was scheduled for neck surgery at Chilton Medical Center, The Hospital itself is clean and…read moreorganized. The staff is friendly and Professional. They go above and beyond. I was blown away by their expertise. Dr. ZBar (who is awesome with a capital A) walked into the room and put my mind at ease instantly. I don't know if it was his friendly personality with me or how I could see his staff loved working with him, or the maybe it was the cool music playing in the room. : ) All I can say is my mind was at ease as I was ready to have my procedure. He took a golfball sized tumor out of my neck. Now one month later, you can hardly tell there is a scar there. Communicated with me to see how I was doing and how I was healing. A true professional. As good of an experience that it could of been. Dr. ZBar and Chilton Medical Center I highly recommend !!! Thank you !!!

    In fairness my mother did not get into see him. After the office switching her appointment 3 times…read morein the week before, they settled on a time. Because of the prior switching, her health aide had to bring her rather early... 35 minutes or so. Well they would not let my very elderly, vaccinated and masked parents sit and wait. So they limped downstairs and waited for me to gather them. My mother did not want an unkind man touching her after that. Furthermore when I tried to connect with them (I arrived to the office 25 minutes before her allotted appointment time, one of the office ladies told me the nurse took them away and they were coming back at 1. This was indeed a falsitude. They were actually kicked out and told they could not be there. For shame. What a mean bunch!

    If I could give a negative I would. 1 star is too much. This doctor ruined my life. I had a…read moretechnique he invented a suture suspension or string, this has been an ongoing nightmare. Pain, disfigurement, excessive scarring...he attempted to do a revision only after I had to convince him the suture broke in my neck. He said it was a quick fix. My fix costs another few thousand dollars and did not work. I actually was convinced by him and his staff that he could fix by redoing whole thing. I think because he was scared I would sue which I should have and probably will. Now years later I am still disfigured, in pain, sutures sticking out of my neck and it looks horrible. They cancelled two of my appointments because he is doing research on a grant. If he cared about his patients he would have called to see how I was or had staff follow up. I have now spend thousands on consults with other doctors...9 of them. Not one believes or uses his technique or some of the other quick fix procedures. All other doctors said I should have had a standard neckllift after his was causing issues and pain. Dr. G was also dishonest with me and did not tell me before surgery he was changing his technique and putting a suture he uses in a man and also added extra sutures to tie in my muscle so they don't rip through. I would never trust this man again. Look and research him. He has many patients that have posted similar experiences with other types of surgeries. Please read and avoid him at all costs. There are way too many good doctor out there. Please, please, please do your homework.....it's your life and you reach out to these doctors to help and make you feel better. Do not think any plastic surgeon will do, each has different ideas, techniques, personalities and your choice should not be taken lightly. This man has changed the path of my life...that is a fact. Years wasted hibernating and not living because of what I look like from what he did. Good luck to all...

    In considering procedures for what amounted to a "Mommy Makeover", my fiancé entrusted to me the…read moretask of finding a reputable plastic surgeon. After four months of reading reviews and viewing before and after results, we felt we had the right doctor. Wow! We were more than impressed with the entire procedure!!! From the courteous ladies who keep the office running at peak efficiency to Dr. Racanelli's confidante and transportation manager, the entire operation is First Class! Whether the facility in Newark, NJ or Morristown, NJ, everything is just perfect. (Soon to have a New York City Office) This is not a high pressure office where you will feel like you are being rushed into a procedure. All questions are answered clearly and explained in detail. I cannot stress enough the type of professionalism employed here. Doctor Racanelli has an incredible bedside manner, and as a patient under his care, you can expect to experience a personalized acumen which with these procedures is so important. More importantly, Doctor Racanelli is meticulous in his methods and a true talent in this field. When under his care, only his very talented hands will perform your procedure. Post op attention is part of the process. You can only teach so much in a classroom or internship. There are certain talents that one is born with...this is such a doctor! We are so pleased with the results after less than two months post op. Actually, I should say that we are more impressed than we thought we would be. Doctor Racanelli belongs on anyone's shortlist when considering these very personal and sensitive procedures...you will not be disappointed!

    I recently was seen at Dr Racanelli's office for a check up and the staff was beyond amazing. They…read moremade me feel very comfortable as I have numerous problems going on in mouth. I highly recommend Stunning smiles

Two weeks ago, I had my lips dissolved with my preferred specialist, Monica, and booked a refill appointment for October 4 at 12pm with Kelly (since Monica was out of office). I started my commute from NYC to the Verona location, but found it odd I never received a reminder -- so I called, only to learn that my appointment was never actually booked, despite scheduling it over the phone 2.5 weeks ago. They managed to squeeze me in later in the day with Megan. However, when I arrived just five minutes past their 10-minute grace period (after calling ahead to let them know I'd be slightly late), I was told I had missed my appointment and the most she could offer was a conversation -- not the actual service. I found this incredibly disappointing and frustrating, especially given the effort it takes to travel from NYC without a car, and the fact that I've been a loyal client for years. It's unfortunate to end things on this note, but I can no longer recommend Montclair Rejuvenation Center after today's experience.
