Review from B.P.

Through my own selection process, I researched and met with various surgeons, all of whom had been highly recommended by their former patients. Dr. Klausner's medical training, surgical experience, general attitude, holistic approach, informative website, advanced techniques, and exquisite results were the most impressive by far. I am now fortunate enough to offer first-hand...

Lee Ann is kind, thoughtful, empathetic and ultimately the best doctor I've ever worked with. I came to her after a 10 year search for a practitioner that could also dual as a healer for an issue I had suffered with, being a perforated septum due to a previous invasive surgery that had gotten larger over time. I had seen many ENT's throughout this sea...

Dr. Klausner was one of many surgeons I met with for a revision (third) rhinoplasty. I met ten surgeons and traveled to Burlington, Boston, Albany, and New York City for consultations.

I was really unhappy with the large bump on my nose but wanted a doctor that would listen to my concerns about keeping an ethnic look to my face. She took all my concerns in and made me feel very comfortable. Could not have been happier that I was recommend to her office. Thanks Dr. Klausner.

Review from C.C.

I was sent to Dr. Klausner by a previous surgeon. I had broken my nose, was having trouble breathing, and the cartilage graft that had been previous placed had shifted.

Review from L.S.

I was very nervous about the surgery beforehand, because I was worried about the severity of the bruising and not looking like myself. As it turned out, I came out of surgery with barely any bruising at all which is unheard of, and Dr. Klausner did an incredible job of improving the look of my nose without making a dramatic change. I highly recommend Dr. Klau...

I had chronic sinusitis for years as a teenager which became so severe it was resistant to most antibiotics. I found Dr. Klausner online and chose her as she was double certified so she could work based on not only internal but external knowledge.

I met with Dr. Klausner to have a large cyst removed from the bridge of my nose in between my eyes. It had become infected and was very painful. My local ER doctor had sliced it open to drain it and I was left with a big gaping wound on my face. Needless to say, I was distraught and very self-conscious. Dr. Klausner was incredible. She inspected the prior do...

I had blepharoplasty done by Dr.Klausner 11 years ago. My eyes still look as good as they did when they were done so many years ago. I recently visited her to have some minor surgery and I must say, she is as kind, thorough and personable as she was years back. She IS the plastic surgeon to see for any of your facial needs!!!

Dr. Klausner did a terrific job with my eye lift. I had circles under my eyes and a droopy eyelid but no more. Everyone thinks I am years younger than I am, and the best part is how natural my eyes look.

I received ultherapy treatment from Dr.Klausner several months ago. She had recommended ultherapy as a new treatment she was offering that could greatly benefit me. I was looking for an overall tighter jaw line. The treatment is not pain-free (more like a sting) but Dr. Klausner was extremely gentle and attentive and I didn't feel the sting so much after ...

Dr. Klausner is an amazing doctor/surgeon. She takes time with her patients, listens, makes sure she explains everything in detail, follows up quickly, and is overall amazing at what she does.

If I could give Dr. Klausner 10+ stars, I would. After going to multiple surgeons, including the chiefs of plastic surgery at large academic hospitals, no physician felt confident doing my surgery due to complexity of my case.

Dr. Klausner is a fantastic surgeon and I'm so glad I found her!
