April 2nd Dr Kaniff did a Full Face lift & laser- as mentioned in previous review- I was so relaxed before & after my surgery I failed to mention the excellent care Simone & Kelsey gave me before during and after the surgery- I had no pain or anxiety whatsoever! Thank you Ladies! Today 5/11/22 had Dr do lip "kiss" injections to my lips - 8 years ago had fat added by another surgeon and my lips are now un even - Simone was there to prep me! She answered all questions- I anticipated pain! However it was a breeze with the numbing agent used- My lips now look even & beautiful! Thank you again for keeping the clock turned back a notch!

Dr Kaniff is a doctor who did not know the latest medical news on how fillers can be adversely affected by a vaccine. And that, plus his poor injection technique led me to have an adverse immune reaction to the fillers he gave me. He continued to treat me despite not knowing what he was doing after. He never reported my case to Allergen despite protocols to do so. And he was extremely abusive after things went awry. He tried to blame me and others for his mistakes. I am forever traumatized by his lack of expertise, his abusive bedside manners, and the damage that has occurred to my face as a result. Do not let him near your face with a needle.

I had a rhinoplasty done a few months ago. The entire staff is professional, kind and very accommodating. I met with 2 other plastic surgeons before seeing Dr. Kaniff. I knew the moment I met Dr. Kaniff that he was the doctor I wanted to perform this very important surgery on me. The results are beyond what I expected. He did the most amazing job. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking about getting their nose done to meet with Dr. Kaniff. 125% happy, ecstatic, thrilled patient.

I had a facelift with fat transfer and had nose reconstruction about 6 months ago. My face continues to look better and fuller as time passes. I am very happy with the results of all of the procedures. Dr Kaniff and his staff were professional and friendly, and addressed my questions fully.
