What recent reviews say

Dr. Heller has built a strong reputation for surgical skill and thorough work, with many patients crediting her with life-changing or life-saving care. However, recent experience suggests significant variability in patient interactions; one reviewer found her abrasive, dismissive, and impatient despite adequate surgical outcomes, a sharp contrast to the compassion others describe.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Most satisfied patients praise Dr. Hynes' skill, the staff's warmth (especially Karen at front desk), and smooth healing. Yet serious gaps emerge: one patient experienced asymmetry after abdominoplasty with zero follow-up from the clinic despite repeated contact; phone lines are consistently busy or divert to an unrelated device seller; and complications go unaddressed. Past reviews glow, but recent ones flag a stark decline in accountability and communication. Since review evidence is limited, note that detail provided here reflects only these 17 reviews.

Strong track record across multiple procedures: breast surgery, hand reconstruction, and body contouring earn consistent five-star praise for technical skill and staff warmth. Office is clean and attentive during consultations, though some patients report minimal post-op guidance after hand work and past friction over deposit policies.

Dr. Levis delivers hand surgery with lasting pain relief: reviewers report straight fingers after Dupuytren contracture repair, no pain after carpal tunnel work, and full thumb function restored years later. Her team at St. Joseph's is described as compassionate and professional.
