    • "Maria, Dr. Colen's assistant is terrific. I think she makes a big effort to make me feel comfortable and let me know what to expect. She told me about shaving downstairs for my surgery prep and thank god I did since all the bandages and markings would have been painful and embarrassing too. She was a lifesaver!

      "Dr Helen Colen is a warm, friendly and highly talented surgeon. She performed multiple procedures on me in one day, fixing mistakes that other surgeons had created. Her work is flawless and she is a true perfectionist. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has had plastic surgery go wrong and who needs someone to correct the mistakes.

      Her staff are also friendly and are very helpful. My entire experience with Colen MD was great and I don't have any complaints at all.

      "Excellent. Dr. Colen's observations were perfect - absolutely on-target as to what should be cosmetically done and why. (She was the 5th doctor I went to for a consultation)The staff I met were professional and courteous. All of my questions, that I had at the moment, were answered and I felt very much at ease and comfortable with Dr. Colen and the office environment. I actually look forward to the procedures that will be done in March and have waited so long to do because I was unable to find a surgeon I felt comfortable with and who understood that all I want is an improved version of me, not a 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 year old me, just a better version of what I currently am so I have self confidence and self-esteem again."

      "It just doesn't get better than this. Dr. Colen is major talented and delivers more than even promised. She is patient with questions asked repeatedly, allays apprehension by spending as much time as the patient needs to address concerns and fears at EVERY appointment and is at the top of her game in expertise. Her office manager, Dee and her nurse, Jennifer are exactly the same-kind, caring, sensitive, thoughtful, and also experts in their respective fields. I required the services of a nurse during the first 24 hours after surgery. The best in the world was chosen for me. I can't imagine anyone seeking the services of any other cosmetic surgeon anywhere ever but Dr. Helen Colen and all she offers."
