When you go to a plastic surgeons office, you are usually going there because you are self conscious about something, so you should feel like you are in a safe place. I did not feel this way here. I was told on the phone it would be a no charge consult - at the end I was told it will be sent to insurance and whatever they do not pay I am responsible for. Dr Taubner seemed very full of himself and not down to earth. I did not feel comfortable asking him any questions. He did not even have a portfolio of his before and afters. Felt like a quantity, not a quality. It all happened very fast like get in get out. This is something I was excited about and have been wanting to do for a long time and finally got the courage to get going about it. I did not get to express that here which was a disappointment. I felt uncomfortable. I will not be pursuing this office - I have scheduled a consultation somewhere else.

This review comes after about 4 years and you’ll know in a minute why. I went here to get surgery for my eyes and a tummy tuck (which by the way I didn’t really want, I had a fupa I wanted gone. my stomach was not bad at all just a little chunky) anyway I got the tummy tuck and it was a full one and the recovery was awful but that is what it is,
I go home and am recovering, wearing that girdle thing and about 2 weeks in I feel a small pop (mind you I was resting and doing basically nothing during recovery) and my upper stomach inflates like a balloon. I was like what the heck happened. So I go to the office and he’s like ohhh I don’t know what happened maybe talk to a gastroenterologist (come to find out recently if he didn’t know what happened, perhaps he should not be performing surgery) anyways I’m like cool now I go through the humiliation of a colonoscopy and that dr says everything looks fine. Ok now I am walking around looking like I have a huge beer belly that has never gone away it feels like a watermelon.
I miss my old beautiful curves and wearing form fitting clothes because if I wear anything tight it looks awful.
Fast forward to why this took so long to write:: I’m sitting down watching an old episode of botched lol and this woman comes into their office with the same stomach and I’m like omg. So lo and behold what they told her is surgeons are supposed to bind the outer muscles together and when it’s done well the stomach will stay flat, otherwise it sort of pops.
I’m glad I got to the bottom of my 4 year mystery. I want to also add I am not wealthy and this was from a lot of savings. I will never have a revision surgery and will have to deal with this permanently.
I really got a long with the dr and liked him and trusted him, but for me to go into your office and you knowing exactly what it was but making me believe you didn’t so I had to have a colonoscopy is not cool. It’s also not cool that I detest my body now. For anyone considering plastic surgery please please be careful.

One month ago I had upper and lower Blepharoplasty (eyelid) surgery done. I had hooded eyelids and bags under my eyes for years due to severe allergies and sinus issues. Dr. Tauber and Lori were absolutely amazing. Lori helped me coordinate everything I needed for the surgery to happen and was patient, helpful and professional.
I couldn’t be happier with the results of my surgery. I feel alive again! I will continue going to Deluca Plastic Surgery for all of my cosmetic surgery needs! Here are before and after photos:

This was the best experience, for surgery, i have ever had. Dr. Yan is one of the most respectful, patient, caring, informative doctor I have dealt with in a long time. As a transgendered male there is a lot of discrimination and dislike out there, the people in this office made me feel so safe! I would, will and have recommend Dr. Yan for any and all surgeries, especially for those looking for gender euphoria. I can’t thank him and the entire office staff for making me feel whole again.

After much research, I chose Dr. Deluca for my breast augmentation. I have to say, I am extremely glad I did! I was in and out for my surgery. He made me feel very comfortable. I knew that I was in good hands! I trusted his judgment and expertise and I couldn’t be happier with my results. During my recovery process, if I had an issue or question I would call the office and a nurse would call back right away. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. I’m so glad I chose Dr. Deluca. It’s a shame he is retiring from surgery this year because I would refer everyone to him!
