He and his staff are very informative about all procedures. He was clear and honest about all results and possible outcomes. Dr. Tamburrino’s staff are spectacular and willing to help no matter what. If I could give him a 10/10 I would. Dr. Tamburrino and his staff were there every step of the way from beginning to end. I felt comfortable and safe asking him any and all questions and they had answers for all my concerns and questions. Anna provided me with her direct number to call in case of any questions. My results of my procedure are life changing and make me feel so at home in my body. I would definitely recommend Dr. Tamburrino to anyone!! Dr.T, Anna and Andrea, thank you so so much for everything ❤️
Dr Tamburrino did my arm lift, AKA brachioplasty in December 2024. He listened to my concerns and answered my questions during my consultation. I found his examples of arm lifts to be the best in the area. I am very happy with my results. His staff, Anna and Andrea, were very helpful getting me prepared for surgery and the post-op care. Everyone in the office was friendly and professional.
I had an outstanding experience at this practice and truly cannot recommend it enough. Dr. Tamburrino is not only exceptionally skilled, but also very thoughtful and detail-oriented. He took the time to really understand my vision and how it aligns with my measurements, listening closely to my goals. He worked with me over multiple pre- and post-op appointments to achieve results that felt natural and aligned with what I wanted. What truly sets this practice apart is the genuine care. Dr. Tamburrino, his wife, Anna, and their surgery coordinator, Andrea, were all so invested in my well-being throughout the entire process. They consistently checked in on me with texts, calls, and in-person appointments to make sure my recovery was going smoothly. Beyond the procedure itself, they went above and beyond on a personal level. They showed real interest in my journey toward medical school, offered encouragement, and treated me like more than just a patient. That level of warmth, support, and personalized care is rare and deeply appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Tamburrino and his staff for any aesthetic treatment—you’ll be in excellent hands.
In the past year I have had both a breast reduction and a deep plane facelift performed by Dr. Tamburrino. I’m delighted with the results of both, and couldn’t recommend both Dr. T. and his practice more highly! I was well informed in advance of both procedures and my expectations were managed very well. Both Dr. T. and his wife/nurse Anna are genuinely charming and personable. Follow-up on both procedures was meticulous. Office staff members Andrea and Susan are also friendly and helpful. Both were great experiences, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
