Testi "Dr. Kolker's office is always a lovely place come to. The interior itself is warm and inviting, luxurious and comfortable. It is a calming and soothing atmosphere so unlike doctor's offices I've experienced in the past;

It's almost as if you're sitting in your friend's living room waiting to have tea. Everyone in the office is wonderfully friendly and inviting. The same can be said of Dr. Kolker who is amiable and sociable, yet pleasantly professional. He emanates a kind of calmness that is fabulously reassuring, especially if one is dealing with certain insecurities a patient may face. It is obvious that Dr. Kolker is extremely knowledgeable, and with him I can be sure I'm in good hands."
A.P.
Testi "My experience with Dr. Kolker has been nothing but pleasant and satisfying. I had bilateral breast reduction in August of 2007. I must say that I felt great, had minimal pain afterward and was able to continue to go to school the following week."
H.M.
Testi "I could no longer condemn myself to a lifetime of insecurity and ugly padded bras. I began to research the best plastic surgeons, starting with New YORK Magazine's Best Doctors list. After looking at hundreds of pre & post breast augmentation images on several surgeons' websites, Dr. Kolker had the best work by far. While I made several appointments with other surgeons for breast surgery, I immediately cancelled them after my first consultation with Dr. Kolker.

Being overweight most of my adult life, I couldn't help but envy those 'lucky' women with perfect bodies and perfect breasts. Having a fitness/nutrition guru for a boyfriend didn't help. With a lot of love and support, he encouraged me to simply start going to the gym with him and after months of weight training and proper nutrition habits, I improved my general health, finally had definition in my arms, legs and even abs...almost 'lucky'! I was in love and committed for the long term, no pun intended!

Unfortunately after months of all that hard work and sacrifice, my breasts took quite a beating and I discovered asymmetries in my breasts that I never noticed as it only became evident after I lost the weight. I had two absolutely different breasts, neither one pretty, on my new beautiful body. Desperately hoping no one would notice, I lived in ugly padded bras. I even slept in them when we had guests sleep over.

So there I was in Dr. Kolker's office, with an enlarged image of my asymmetrical breasts in various views on a big screen. It was surprisingly liberating. I was literally facing my fears and insecurities, while Dr. Kolker went over each asymmetry in great detail, how he'd approach it, possible risks and his recommendations. Although many would find this experience mortifying, I felt a huge relief. His professionalism and attentiveness is indescribable. The fact that he was able to make me feel like we were simply discussing a medical procedure and nothing more unusual than that was unbelievable.

And the staff completely exceeded my expectations! They were friendly, attentive and so helpful. I cannot count how many emails I sent them and with each email they were prompt to respond with valuable and detailed information and continue to encourage me to contact them with any other questions or concern.

It's been almost half of a year since my surgery and I absolutely love my breasts and so does my boy friend. I get compliments on them all the time, many from women. What Dr. Kolker did with my breasts is a miracle. I continue to be athletic and to love my body, it is complete now and I'm officially 'lucky' and it's thanks to Dr. Kolker and his staff. You will not regret it!"
A.R.
Testi "From the moment I stepped into Dr. Kolker's office he instantly put me at ease with his professionalism, knowledge and expertise. He gave me the confidence to proceed with breast implant surgery, which I have been contemplating for years.

My breast augmentation has given me a tremendous boost in confidence and I will forever be grateful to Dr. Kolker. As an extra bonus, the pleasant and wonderful staff are absolutely delightful and went above and beyond to accommodate me."
J.M.
Testi "When I made the decision to have a breast augmentation I knew how vital it was to find an excellent surgeon. When I met with Dr. Kolker and his staff I was extremely impressed and knew I wanted him to be my surgeon!

The experience has been amazing thanks to Dr. Kolker. I am so happy with my breast implants. They look and feel very natural, which was one of my concerns. I have also gained a lot of confidence and feel complete as a woman. Dr. Kolker has certainly exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend him!"
M.C.
Testi "Going through with any kind of surgery can be extremely nerve racking, even if it is an elective breast augmentation procedure. That is when choosing the right "team" will make all the difference. I am so happy to have found Dr Kolker and his team! They truly have made my experience special.

Visiting the office is always pleasant, unlike your typical visit to the doctor. The staff is always so cheerful and charming and when you first meet Dr. Kolker you will instantly see that he is passionate about plastic surgery. Dr Kolker and his staff always make you feel comfortable and are always available and eager to answer any questions you might have.

You can count on Dr Kolker to give you the results you are looking for because he genuinely cares about the happiness of his patients. Make a consultation and you will see for yourself!!"

Testi "I am so happy that I finally had my breast augmentation and feel so thankful that I took the time to find Dr. Kolker! On the day of my consultation, as I sat in Dr. Kolker's office discussing what kind of results I wanted, I knew that I had found the right doctor for my breast augmentation surgery.

Not only did he understand my needs, but he also allayed any fears that I had regarding the actual breast augmentation surgery. I left his office feeling so excited that I was finally going to do something that I had thought about for 3 or 4 years! All of the thinking, researching, procrastinating, and frustration of not being happy with my breast size was finally being put to rest and being replaced with a feeling of excitement.

During the eight weeks prior to my breast implant surgery, I felt total support from Dr. Kolker's staff. Jacki and Jillian helped me to feel at ease and were always available to answer any questions or concerns. As it got closer to my surgery date, I began to get nervous again but Dr, Kolker's compassion and ability to effectively communicate his knowledge, put my fears to rest. When the day of my surgery actually arrived, I felt totally prepared and this is because I had been given all of the information that I needed about my breast augmentation, was able to express any and all of my feelings to Dr. Kolker, Jillian, and Jacki, and was treated with complete care the whole way through.

I can honestly say that when I look back on the day of my surgery and the days that followed, it was a really positive experience. Going under anesthesia was the scariest part for me because I had it once before and had a really negative experience. But because I had discussed this with Dr. Kolker, he worked with their anesthesiologist (who was also great!) so that I had the perfect result and I woke up from surgery feeling fine. The next few days were spent resting, getting lots of nice attention, and loving my new breasts, even though they were in the healing process. I have nothing but positive memories of this time, which is the exact opposite of what I feared.

It is now four months later and I am more than just pleased with my results. Dr. Kolker did such a wonderful job of giving me just the right size for my body build, so that my breasts look completely natural and the shape is beautiful! I had told myself that if I have a breast augmentation, I'm going to find the best doctor possible, and I feel that I definitely accomplished that."
S.N.
Testi "I just want to tell you that my experience in Dr. Kolker's office was absolutely wonderful. The environment in the office was welcoming. The staff is so nice and it is always a joy being there. Dr. Kolker is just a wonderful doctor.

I was very uneasy speaking about what was bothering me, but upon meeting Dr. Kolker and listening to him explain his technique, he made me feel very comfortable and I had a feeling at that second that I could trust and believe in him. My inverted nipple was corrected successfully! It changed my life and the way I feel about myself. Thank you Jillian for being such a wonderful and kind person and thank you Dr. Kolker for everything that you did."
M.C.
Testi "After years of being extremely self conscious about having inverted nipples, I decided to begin research on how I could go about correcting this condition.

At first I was unsure of what my condition was and began reading online that I along with 2-10% of women have one or two inverted nipples. I was relieved to know that I was not the only one that had this problem. During my research I came across Dr. Kolker’s website and decided to make an appointment for a consultation.

When I met with Dr. Kolker he was extremely professional, friendly, and gave me hopeful options. He not only explained the procedure he could perform very clearly, but he also explained my options and possible outcomes. I was very excited, and for the first time I felt a sense of hope that I could finally overcome my self conscious body complex that I had battled for years.

I felt at ease with Dr. Kolker because his office and staff was beautifully maintained, welcoming, professional and caring. Thus, I allowed Dr. Kolker to perform the procedure; now I am more confident, and I no longer agonize about this problem.

I want to thank Dr. Kolker for his kindness, as well as his ample ability to correct my inverted nipples. I believe Dr. Kolker is a gifted plastic surgeon."
T.P.
Testi "How can I begin? From the age of 13 I knew something was not right so I knew that one blessed day I would be able to get my chest corrected. Upon my graduation from college I thought it a great time to begin my search for a New York breast surgeon.

Dr. Adam Kolker was the first doctor I consulted with and I was blown away by his warm character, medical merits, stunning beautiful office & staff. I thought this is a great place with amazing results but I could not left myself choose the only doctor I had ever seen. So I continued to have consultations with various surgeons none with whom I instantly liked or felt comfortable. I then gave Dr. Kolker another call & set up a second meeting.

Going in I knew that Dr. Kolker & his staff we the angels I wanted to put my trust in. I felt so comfortable and safe in his office, with his staff, and his plan of action for my breast asymmetry. The day of my surgery I was of course very anxious , excited & scared naturally because this would be the first time in my life I would be going under the knife.

When I awoke I felt fine just a little sore, they turned on my favorite soap opera and I was happy as can be. In the days after surgery I was great, feeling fine no bleeding or pain. I took my medicine as prescribed and waiting to get the bandages removed.

Then the fateful day came; my post-op consultation. All I can say is that they looked phenomenal I could not believe my eyes. Dr. Kolker had done something ALL other surgeons had told me was not possible. He made the impossible, possible I could not believe it took a possibility and turned it into my reality! They looked amazing no visible stitching, scars or lollipop incision others had told me were unavoidable. I will forever be thankful to him for correcting my asymmetrical breasts an making me so happy. Dr. Kolker & staff are my angels; they made me complete, finally. What Dr. Kolkers’ office does is truly an art form and I will forever be thankful to God for leading me to him and to Dr. Kolker himself for doing the best he could do for me and changing my life for the better each and every day. I love you ALL."
N.S.
Testi "Dr. Kolker changed my life… I am 27 years old and for at least the past ten years I have been seriously considering having a breast reduction, but have always been hesitant about going through with it.

I would go through phases where I couldn’t take it anymore and needed it done right away. I had even been to see other plastic surgeons, but I would always leave with a feeling of something being wrong. With constant back pain and a limitation to physical activities I decided to try and see another doctor. Through a recommendation I ended up at Dr. Kolker’s office.

After my extensive first meeting with Dr. Kolker, I left knowing that the time was finally here for me to go through with this life-changing event, and that Dr. Kolker was just the person to perform my breast reduction surgery. My emotions leading up to the surgery were everywhere, from excitement, to curiosity to sheer panic, but Dr. Kolker and his staff were there for moral support and reassurance whenever I needed it.

The morning of my surgery was very scary for me, but I knew the whole time I was in good hands, and I couldn’t wait for the final result. Walking into the operating room I broke down into tears (of course overreacting on my part). Dr. Kolker stood above me before we got started and wiped the tears off of my face; I was shocked to see a doctor have such compassion, and knew right then that everything would be fine. Leaving the hospital after my one night stay, Dr. Kolker gave me his cell phone number and encouraged me to call at any point, which I did take him up on once or twice. The care that I received from Dr. Kolker and his staff after the surgery was just as impressive - from the phone calls at home, check up visits, and emails to check in.

I am now at near full recovery and can’t believe how different my life is. The pain is gone, vacations in a bathing suit are much more enjoyable, physical activities are easier, and my confidence is at an all time high. The final result that Dr. Kolker left me with is astounding – he is an extremely talented surgeon. To top it all off I am about to purchase my wedding dress and I now have so many more options.

Knowing that I only have one or two more follow up appointments with Dr. Kolker leaves me bittersweet. I know it means I had the courage to finally finish this process, but it also means that I won’t have any more visits with him, which I have now come to really enjoy. I can never thank him enough for what he has done for me, and the entire time with such love and care."
H.B.
Testi "If someone asked me to name the number one thing I took away from going through with my breast reduction surgery, it would be confidence.

As a ballet dancer of 17 years I was used to having a small figure. When I matured late in life and developed a DDD chest size my life drastically changed. I was forced to leave the ballet world and slowly lost confidence in my image. I wasn’t comfortable with my appearance anymore. I felt like I was defined by my chest size and not by my personality.

Dr. Kolker was the first doctor I spoke to about my surgery and from that initial interview I knew he was going to be my doctor. He made me feel like family from the moment I entered his office. His staff took my under their wings and helped me throughout the entire experience. Dr. Kolker’s expertise is unmatchable. Each step he told me I’d experience throughout this process was accurate. I can honestly say now that I love my breasts! My entire perspective on life has changed. I am finally confident in my body, which has helped me gain confidence in other areas of my life.

Since my surgery I’ve grown in the workplace and socially. I owe my new outlook to Dr. Kolker. He’ll always remain one of the most important people in my life."
M.D.
Testi "For many years I was embarrassed by my large breasts. It affected my self esteem so deeply that I use to wear a sports bra over a regular bra trying to make my breast appear smaller. I wanted to have a breast reduction

but my fears kept me from doing it. I am so grateful my gynecologist listened to my cry for help and referred me to Dr. Kolker. It was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

I met Dr. Kolker during my consultation, and was I impressed! He was very kind, understanding and thorough in explaining the breast reduction procedure. Best of all not only did I feel good and reassured but so did my fiancé. When we got home after each visit, we would discuss what took place during the visit and both agreed that I was making the right choice with the right doctor. The surgery was great, pain was minimal, recovery was quick and I was out of work for only 2 weeks. All of my fears were put to rest, and the markings are hardly noticeable.

In closing I would like to say thank you Dr. Kolker for reintroducing me to life. I have not felt this good in years. Not only do I feel good but thanks to you I look great. You are not only an excellent doctor but an amazing individual. You are the best."
D.S.
Testi "My experience with Dr. Kolker and his staff made it obvious that I should never consider another surgeon! I had several consultations with other cosmetic surgeons before making the indisputable choice to go with Dr. Kolker.

He was very professional and thorough in his explanations and made it clear what was realistically possible. I felt that he and his staff valued my personal situation and recognized that the choice to have cosmetic surgery has an emotional element as well. His bedside manner is wonderful. The staff in his office is a reflection of the high standards Dr. Kolker has for his practice. They are warm, personable and very accommodating. My breast lift results surpassed what I thought was ever possible!"
S.K.
Testi "I am very, very happy with the results of my breast augmentation surgery. I think that this has been the best thing that I've done for myself.

Dr. Kolker and his staff are warm, knowledgeable, and responsive. My own GYN, (who referred me), didn't notice that I had implants because they looked so natural. I've already referred a friend to Dr. Kolker."
B.P.
Testi "I never thought of myself as a "plastic surgery" person but I couldn't help seeing my body change in ways I just wasn't happy with. This wasn't about vanity; it was about seeking peace with myself to enable me to get on with other, more important things in life.

When I was happy with my breast size, I hated my hips; when I worked out and lost weight around my thighs, my breasts were almost non-existent. So I did my homework and decided to do something about it.

I investigated with the American Board of Plastic Surgeons, and found Dr. Kolker. My first appointment with him was grueling - I asked all kinds of questions, including moral questions about his personal philosophy; and for each question Dr. Kolker had a thoughtful and insightful answer. He was patient and well-measured. I think my first consultation lasted over 2 hours. Then, after over a year of thinking about it, I decided to go ahead with the breast augmentation and throughout the entire procedure, Dr. Kolker and his office were caring, professional and detailed. My boyfriend was probably more nervous than I was, and they were accommodating of his queries and questions.

The surgery itself was exactly as I had been told and the recovery was also as I had expected. I worked from home for a few days and was back in the office within a week. And as for the result - amazing! I still smile to myself when I catch my reflection in the mirror. I can finally wear clothes I never was able to before. My breasts are so natural-looking, and so perfectly proportioned, I catch women looking at me in the changing room at the gym who are internally scratching their heads, wondering if they are real or not. My scars completely healed within 3 months and now are absolutely invisible.

The personal attention, professionalism and treatment of me as an individual is what drew me towards Dr. Kolker and his staff, and what I recommend him to others for. If you have been struggling with your body image, I honestly recommend that doing the hard work of self-acceptance is key. I tried to do that, and realized I needed more. After overcoming the internal struggles, I can honestly say it was a good decision for me. I'm finally happy with my body and I can now use that part of my mind previously reserved for the express purpose of self-deprecation!"
F.S.
Testi "Although Moscow is a city in which one can find everything including great plastic surgeons, I flew over four thousand miles to see Dr. Kolker. Never did I regret this decision.

Dr. Kolker is not only the most attentive doctor but also is a great professional who delivers promised results. It has been over two years after my procedure and I am still very happy with the results."
A.K.
Testi "I had been thinking about getting a Breast Augmentation for quite some time and did extensive research, but was still too nervous to actually go through with the procedure. I talked about it with my husband and he recommended I make a consultation appointment with Dr. Kolker.

Several years ago he went to Dr. Kolker for a procedure and was extremely happy with the whole experience and his results. Dr. Kolker and his staff put me at ease and answered all my questions. I was still nervous, but never felt pressured and was encouraged by Dr. Kolker to take my time in deciding. When I called the office with any questions I felt the staff went out of their way to be helpful and definitely made me feel like more than just another patient. I booked my surgery and felt I was well taken care of from beginning to end. I am very happy with the results and would highly recommend Dr. Kolker to any of my friends."
C.P.
Testi "A year after my breast augmentation surgery, I met the man who is now my fiancé. The first time he saw me topless, he exclaimed, "Your breasts are perfect".

After I recovered from breast augmentation surgery, people constantly asked me if I had lost weight, that was because my body, post-surgery, was evenly proportioned and not just with bigger breasts, but with beautiful breasts that exceeded my expectations.

I may be 47 years old, but thanks to Dr. Kolker's deft skills as a plastic surgeon; I have the breasts of an 18 year old."
C.N.
Testi "I had a breast augmentation after spending many years thinking about it. I visited several plastic surgeons and after meeting Dr. Kolker and his staff I knew he was going to be my surgeon. It is the best decision I have ever made and I am just thrilled everyday with my results.

The in-office surgical experience is luxury at its best. It is the most beautiful office I have ever seen and Dr. Kolker is just awesome. He was always available to me throughout the process, and even called me the night before and after the surgery! The recovery room was very private, elegant and so comfortable. I could not have dreamed of a better place to have my procedure.

The surgery was so easy! I met Dr. Kolker early in the morning on a Friday and was home before noon the same day. The pain after surgery was minimal. I took it easy for a couple of days and was back at work the following week. I was pleasantly surprised by how the recovery was so effortless.

It has been 8 months since my operation and I feel wonderful! My breasts are perfect. The level of care and service that I received from Dr. Kolker and his staff throughout my pre and post surgical process was the ultimate experience. I would highly recommend him to anybody who is considering plastic surgery. Not only did he help change the way I look, his wonderful work changed the way I feel. I will never be able to thank him enough; he is not only a great surgeon but a true gentleman!"
J.D.
Testi "From the very first time that I stepped foot in Dr. Kolker's office and met him and the staff there, I was completely at ease. I had a breast augmentation, and the overall experience, from the consultation through my last check up after surgery, was wonderful.

Dr. Kolker and his staff were there to answer any questions at any time before and after surgery. I'm so pleased with how the surgery turned out. There was virtually no pain (only minor discomfort) and they look completely natural.

Since my first breast enlargement with Dr. Kolker was such a success, I went back to him for a rhinoplasty. Again, another great experience. It looks as though I was born with this beautiful nose thanks to Dr. Kolker.

I've also seen Dr. Kolker for botox and restylane and have seen the medical aesthetician for laser hair removal who does a great job and makes you feel very comfortable during laser procedures.

Walking into Dr. Kolker's office is like walking into a friend's home. Dr. Kolker, Jillian, Jacki and team are so friendly and the best at what they do. Surgery can be a scary thing, but not in this office... you couldn't find better care elsewhere."
J.G.
Testi "My experience with Dr. Adam Kolker and his staff exceeded all of my expectations. I first had thoughts of breast augmentation after the birth of my second child. I wanted to reclaim my body and was not happy with the way my breasts had decreased in size after each pregnancy making my body disproportionate.

Being small in frame I had concerns about how natural they would look. I wanted to fill out my tops, feel proud of my body but still look professional at work.

Dr. Kolker eased my mind from the moment we met. From the bedside manner that Dr. Kolker has to the warm and friendly staff that works in his office, the entire experience was the best I have ever had. They literally held my hand through the entire process making me feel like so much more than a patient. I looked forward to each of my appointments and left feeling so well taken care of and secure in my decision. I was taken aback at how involved Dr. Kolker was with each concern or question I had and how quickly he returned my calls- even at home. In the end, Dr. Kolker created the most natural and balanced look for my frame.

There is not a day that goes by that I do not wake up and smile over the results of my surgery. Getting dressed went from something that I didn't look forward to, to a happy experience because of how great I look and feel. When visiting my ObGyn for the first time since having the surgery I was thrilled to hear her reaction to my surgery- she was so impressed at how natural and perfect my breasts were for my body- she even asked me for Dr. Kolker's name and number so she could tell her other patients who were interested!

Since I can't get enough of Dr. Kolker and his amazing staff I have since gone back to the office on a monthly basis for facials, injectibles and laser hair removal. I leave Dr. Kolker feeling like a mini-celebrity from the glowing results of the visits. He is so gentle and patient, I actually look forward to my Botox and Restylane treatments. They are the best I have experienced in the city and I get asked all the time what I use on my skin to look so bright and youthful.

Even my son has seen "Dr. Adam" for minor scrapes & cuts. He now insists that Dr. Adam is HIS Doctor making him a true family favorite.

My "mommy makeover" was the one thing I did for "me" after having children and it's the greatest gift I gave myself.

Thank you to Dr. Kolker and his wonderful team. You have given me such confidence and true happiness with my body and appearance. It's a gift that I am grateful for every single day!"
K.F.
Testi "I had put off my long desired breast augmentation out of fear until I met Dr. Kolker. The minute I sat down with him I was at ease and knew I was ready to go forward with enhancing my look.

Dr. Kolker's reputation of being an incredible surgeon is well known but his humble personality and caring nature are truly what makes the entire process of plastic surgery exciting and enjoyable. In addition, he surrounds himself with a staff of compassionate and gracious professionals who are there for you and willing to hold your hand every step of the way. I wish I had met Dr. Kolker and his staff years ago because I look and feel great!"
