I first went to Dr Greco in 2009. Results were perfection. The staff are professional and knowledgeable. I went back in 2018 and the entire staff was still there, and they remembered me! Just amazing. Dr Greco is straightforward, and gives you options. He calls you at home after your surgery. I was just there 2 weeks ago, and everyone on staff, nurses and admin are still the same team from my first visit 11 years ago. This is quality and care not a flashy plastic surgeon with hundreds of breast augs and butts on his website. Outstanding results every time. I would never try anyone else.
