My Doctor


His name is Dr. Frank Barone, MD. His practice is called Evolv Urban Spa. They also do all types of massage, make up artistry, and other non surgial treatments in the spa like chemical peels, Botox etc.

There are many reasons that I chose Dr. Barone. First, he has done my cousins nose job, fixed my sisters botched nose job (originally done by a Doctor n Phoenix), and most recently another relative's breast reduction. They all speak highly of him. My experience with him has been that he is a good listener, friendly, patient, and confident. I was most impressed by him when he told me that his goal was not for me to lose my ethnicity. This was a relief as I am not out to look like some little Irish girl with a tiny little nose when clearly the rest of my features prove otherwise. I had a list of questions for him and he patiently answered all of them. his office is modern, clean, comfortable and up to date. His staff is caring and friendly.

I went to about 4 other plastic surgeons for consultation but was not necessarily impressed by any of them. Their prices ranged anywhere from 5 to 6 thousand for the surgery. Dr. Barone was far more expensive at $11,000. Still I trust him and felt most comfortable with him. Also his after care (included in the price) comes with 4 post op appointments one of which is with a makeup artist to help hide the bruising.
