I have always planned on being a doctor, as I came from a medical family where my father was a physician and my mother a nurse. Growing up in that environment showed me how much joy and satisfaction one could get out of serving others as a doctor. I was also provided with a wonderful role model in my dad as to how to treat a patient with care and respect.

Consult - My experience from the start with Dr. Pietrasek and staff has been amazing. I initially had gone to another office for a consultation and was set with just going to the first surgeon that I had spoke with. However, a few friends suggested that I consult with some other surgeons. I am not sure how my experience would have been with the first surgeon I met with but I do not regret my decision in choosing Dr. P! From the start I felt extremely comfortable as he was kind and very through he brought up topics I did not even think of about asking.
Surgery day - not surprising but he made me

I don’t ever write reviews but I felt I absolutely needed to about my experience at Dr. Pietraszek‘s office. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with warm welcomes from the front desk staff (every time not just on a good day). During my consultation, Christina was very sweet and informative and made sure to answer any questions I might have had. Dr. Pietraszek went over absolutely everything about breast implants (positive and negative). He is very knowledgeable, kind and gentle. I walked out of my appointment feeling very confident about my decision to follow through with breast implants

I cannot thank Dr Pietrazek and his whole team enough. I went to him looking into a breast augmentation and lift. That was a few years ago. Finally the time was right. But, I had different plans now. I wanted a tummy tuck too! I spoke with Dr Pietrazek at my consultation and he advised against doing both at the same time because it would be too risky to be under that long. So I decided to go with the tummy tuck first since the recovery is longer. Then a month later I will go back for my breasts. I am now 4dpo from my tummy tuck and I couldn't be happier! I honestly thought that if he could just

EXCELLENT in every way! Unfortunately, it’s hard to navigate through so many choices in doctors & the sad thing is that most of your options will provide you less than stellar results. Dr P was the first plastic surgeon I ever went to & I assumed they were all awesome like him. I was wrong & had to go back to him to have him correct surgeries by other well known doctors. These were doctors with great (prob paid for) reviews on Real Self. Don’t waste your time & money with the others! Go straight to Dr P. I write this review for no other reason than to help others. Dr Pietraszek’s work is

I typically never write reviews but was so impressed with Dr. Pietraszek's office, I wanted to express my opinion. Tamara was like an immediate best friend and Karen is so friendly. All my interactions have been "white glove" service and I felt comfortable the moment I walked in. I would highly recommend Dr. Pietraszek... anytime to anyone.

Dr. Pietraszek is an amazing doctor!.
I love how he listened to my questions and answered them thoroughly . He took a lot of time with me! His demeanor is of sincere kindness. As a surgeon, i couldn't ask for a better outcome.
I will revisit the office if I ever need anything done again. Also, the office staff - Tamara and Karen - are warm and wonderful, sweet, and caring.

I researched a lot of plastic surgeons and found Dr. Pietraszek. I went in for a consultation and really liked his hands on approach in examining my nose. I eventually booked an appointment for my rhinoplasty and had it done on July 28th, 2014. It was one of the best decisions I've made. His staff Karen and Tamara are extremely personable. The nurse Sandy was nice too and the anesthesiologist Richard was really great! He let me know step by step what he was going to do so it could be as smooth for me as possible. I think that the only thing I was scared of was going under anesthesia because I have
