“Dr. Papanicolaou is an amazing and caring plastic surgeon. He takes the time to get to know his patients and understand what they want. He has a tasteful, natural approach and focuses on results that are balanced and never overdone. I am SO happy with the results of my surgery. His staff is also wonderful. They are so friendly and make you feel like family. I highly recommend Dr. P!”
“I had injectables done and Dr P office is so clean and the staff is amazing. The medical assistant is so kind and caring , and the office manager is great also. Amazing office staff. Dr P is a great doctor very professional, with great bedside manners, and very understanding. Walked me through what he was doing before the procedure. Highly recommend the doctor and staff !”
“From my first consultation to my follow-up visits every encounter has been completely professional. The staff is courteous and caring and Dr. P. lives up to his reputation of being one of the top surgeons in Central Florida. I could not be happier with my results.”
“I got referred to Dr. Papanicolaou from my dermatology clinic due to melanoma on my face. I was pretty new to this whole process and one thing that impressed me immediately is that Dr Papanicolaou did not sugar coat the process, explained everything before I even asked a question out loud. There was no overselling. He triple checked pathology result and was thorough throughout the whole process, was always very timely, and direct, professional and caring. My skin graft looks great and got clean margins of melanoma.His office is very clean, staff is polite and friendly. I could give him 1000 stars if I could”
“I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Soma Plastic Surgery was disappointing enough that I feel compelled to share it for anyone considering a consultation/procedure here. I paid a $175 consultation fee, which I was later told was non-refundable because it "reserves the doctor's time." I have worked in a clinical setting before so I understand this policy. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect that rationale at all. My appointment was scheduled for 8:30 AM. I arrived on time but was not brought back to an exam room until approximately 9:20 AM. The surgeon did not enter until around 9:29 AM and spent only a few minutes with me before leaving. In total, I waited nearly an hour past my appointment time for what amounted to an extremely brief consultation. Delays happen, and I understand that. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of acknowledgment or apology. After waiting nearly an hour, the doctor entered the exam room and his basic courtesy or respect for my time was striking. It was as if this just "is how it is" when they are running behind/busy. The consultation itself further eroded my confidence. The surgeon touched me for an exam without wearing gloves and provided vague, uninformative answers to several questions. Rather than leaving informed and comfortable, I left feeling anxious about the prospect of undergoing any procedure at this practice. After expressing my concerns to the receptionist, she passed it all along to the manager Marisol who then had the receptionist call me and offer a $400 discount on a future procedure. This response perfectly demonstrates how the manager completely missed the point. My issue was not the price of a procedure—it was my lack of confidence in the surgeon and the overall patient experience. Offering a discount felt more like an attempt to quiet a dissatisfied patient than a genuine effort to address the concerns raised. What makes this particularly frustrating is the practice's insistence that the consultation fee is non-refundable because it reserves physician time. Yet the physician did not see me at my scheduled appointment time, and the consultation itself lasted only a few minutes. The policy seems to apply only in one direction, as I too reserved my own time by having to take off work to attend this appointment. Between the excessive wait, lack of professionalism, dismissive communication, and unwillingness to meaningfully address legitimate concerns afterward, I cannot recommend Soma Plastic Surgery. I would not return, nor would I feel comfortable referring any of my friends or family there.”
