Stephanie Shultis is wonderful!. I had went to a previous dermatology center and I wasn't getting the results that I wanted. I was immediately at ease with her after I had explained what my goal and concerns were. She was very informative and guided me throughout the whole process. I honestly had complete trust in whatever she decided to do for my services without a question. my skin is looking great and I'm feeling much more confident and happier. I am very grateful and would highly recommend

I have been impressed with the Peer Group since my first appointment. The office modern, clean and comfortable. Every employee I have spoken with has been kind, helpful and informative. Dr Starker asks you what you are hoping to accomplish-he truly listens-results are phenomenal. Very welcoming atmosphere

Do you want someone to take 200 dollars from you for no reason? Then come here! I called the Peer Group to make an appointment and when they asked for a credit card to hold my appointment to charge a 75 dollar cancelation fee, I told them I would call back as I was driving. They said no problem. I never called back with the info. When the peer group called to confirm I did not give them my credit card info.

I went to my appointment and received an estimate for some tweaks. When I left the appointment I decided to think about it. As I left, the office said that my appointment cost 200 dollars. Stunned and shocked I handed over my card and proceeded to go to my card to see where it said that a consultation costs 200. After reviewing their site and realizing it doesn't say anything about the fee of 200 for a consult, I reentered the building to speak with the office staff.

I asked how I were to know about the 200 dollars? They said we tell everyone when we take their credit card information. Ah ha! They never took my cc info, so no one told me about this. I said they only told me about the 75 dollars for cancelation. The lady in the office with an accent knew she messed up because there was no credit card on file. Therefore, she kmew she didnt tell me aboit the 200 dollar fee.

She was so dismissive and acted like it was my fault. I asked for them to refund my money. I explained they should post a sign like they had on the wall about the 75 dollar cancelation fee. She said it is actually 100 dollars l, not 75. The sign said 75. I was thinking to myself that this office is a mess. You can't even update your policy on the wall next to your little sliding glass window?

You obviously aren't closing the loop on appointments by getting credit card information. After about 20 minutes of me stating my very reasonable case, she said you can apply it to future treatments. I was like you think I am going to come back here? I came here to feel and look even more beautiful. do you think that is how I feel? I have been tricked, you cannot believe I would want to come back here.

I am disappointed in the way I was treated. This is a plastic surgeon mill. They pretend to care and want to help but will take your hard earned 200 dollars for 15 minutes of their time. The office staff here is a mess, they are rude, and clearly disorganized. So this business took my money for a 15 min consultation. Save yourself the grief and potentially being misinformed or not informed so they can take money from thwm which they clearly do not need charging an arm leg, and head for simple procedures. Avoid avoid avoid this place.

I couldn't be happier with my facelift! The procedure went beautifully and the results are fabulous! The entire staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Colon is a excellent surgeon and he is a very caring physician. I would highly recommend The Peer Group and Dr. Colin!

I could not have asked for a better experience. From the very first visit to waking up from the procedure the entire staff kept me calm, confident and excited. Dr. Colon is a magician and his team in the OR are fantastic. Both Dr Colon and the anesthesiologist were some of the top doctors I've encountered. I cannot thank the staff up front and all around enough for making me feel at home the entire time. If you are thinking about treating yourself, this is the only place to do so Thank you guys!

I can't say enough GREAT things about Dr. Colon and The Peer Group for Plastic Surgery. My post surgery results are better than I ever imagined! I suffered from and repaired several hernias over the years, (as a baby and post being pregnant three times, all three C sections). I was very apprehensive about having surgery again. This time I needed a hernia repair and I wanted a mommy makeover too!

I had met with many plastic surgeons and general surgeons before selecting Dr. Colon for the plastic surgery. My case was a bit more complicated with the hernia repair as I was also experiencing other pain that we were not sure of the cause. Dr. Colon helped me find a general surgeon who was up for the task of helping me in collaboration with Dr. Colon. The partnership in figuring out the best steps for my surgery and the care and surgical expertise Dr. Colon and his group provided was exceptional.

Dr. Colon and staff were a pleasure to meet. He took his time to examine my face since this was the first time ever getting injections on my face. Dr. Colon suggested where he would inject Botox and explained his reasons for doing so. He allowed me to ask questions and I felt that I was understood. I was looking for just some slight changes in my appearance, specifically on my forehead and eyes.

He was gentle and gave me a ton of information about what to expect within the 7-14 day window. I had a follow up appointment 2 weeks later with Dr. Colon to see the changes. I am very pleased with his honesty and the time he took with me. Lina, Dr. Colon's medical assistant, was also informative and personable. I enjoyed speaking with her about my skincare goals and needs. I highly recommend The Peer Group and Dr. Colon for anyone looking for a honest opinion about enhancing their appearance.

I had an excellent experience at The Peer Group. I needed major abdominal surgery & Dr Colo'n was my surgeon. He is very friendly with a good bedside manner. He explained everything very thoroughly to me about my surgery. I did not feel at all hesitant about going into that operating room. The nurses were so nice & supportive, and my surgery went as planned. I highly recommend Dr Colo'n & The Peer group.

My skin is feeling the love after my treatment with Karen! She is so wonderful and really took the time to understand my skin concerns. I was suffering from acne and has cleared up dramatically since my Diamond Glow treatment. She also took the time to educate me on how I should be taking care of my skin at home and the products I went home with are really working. I will definitely be seeing her again. Thank you Karen!

Beware do not get a facelift here i was botched and now I am looking for a doctor to correct the damage. When i decide to do this facelift and upper eye lid surgery i was just starting to have slight signs of aging and loose skin. bit of aging. Why did i go ahead with this procedure? I rationalize. if I had plastic surgery done when i did needed only a little done It would be less invasive less chance of having a botched job and the healing time would be quick Well it is all about about who does the surgery.

And i did my research (i chose the wrong doctor) The surgery was down in Spring 2018. I am writing this review oct 2021 Every time i look in the mirror it is alarming. I also had my upper eye lids done. My right eye lid droops I do not wear eye shadow any longer it is too apparent. Right eye lid droops down considerably it's very noticeable. The Facelift was uneven too it is very very noticeable.

My face is lopsided. I made it clear to the doctor that i want to have some loose skin and under the Chin addressed and muscle tighten. needing a minor tweak a mess much worse the before the surgery. I look much older then before the surgery. The surgery in 2018 spring and Spent $$$$$ There is no reason for what was done to me. I took it upon my self to get answers.

I need to find out what was done and options to fix my face I got 2 plastic surgeons to Assess what was done to me not to fix just to assess The professional Consensus is that this doctor just pulled the skin but did not tighten any of the muscles underneath or when he did he damaged the muscles Basically he dropped the ball the the day he operated on me.

Now what? I am afraid I have not taken the plunge to try and have my face fixed at this time Even though i am extremely self-conscious I must definitely definitely taking my time in picking someone to try and help me fix this botched surgery I want to look normal again. Yes of course I realize that everyone's face is asymmetrical and results vary when getting these types of procedures But a noticeably lopsided face is lopsided.

It was not that way before the surgery. My left eye lit droops now and did not before. Also my mouth looks like a puppet I have marionette lines on either side of my mouth. Which were not there before. The surgeon pulled my face downward

Definitely recommend this practice! Everyone was very professional, kind, and helpful. Jackie was so helpful when I reached out, she was able to accommodate me with my busy schedule for a consultation. The front staff was very diligent in making sure to sanitize my hands, check my temperature, and getting me in to the room quickly. My nurse explained to me all the paperwork, took my pictures, and answered all of my questions and concerns. Dr. Starker is amazing!

He's very thorough when explaining different types of procedures and understood exactly what I wanted. He explained everything he was doing and as a person scared of needles in my face he truly made me feel comfortable and safe. I am in love with the end product and I can't thank this group for helping me accomplish that.

I had a facial rejuvenation session with Dr. Colon and it was amazing! I had botox injections on my forehead and chin, as well as some fillers on my cheeks. He explained everything in detail in a way I could understand and I felt very comfortable during the procedure. It was painless and the downtime was minimal. I would recommend Dr. Colon and The Peer Group to anyone!

I have been a patient of Dr. Colon's at the Peer Group for several years now. I have never been disappointed in any procedures that I have had done there. Dr. Colon truly has a gift for knowing what will improve ones appearance and his surgical skills and knowledge are top notch. From small procedures such as fillers, to the more involved facial procedures, I have always had complete confidence in his abilities and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who is seeking plastic surgery.

I highly recommend The Peer Group. Everyone who works here makes it their mission to make you feel comfortable. They make sure you understand your procedure, including all the little details. Dr. Colon spends a lot of time getting to know you, and also explains all the details of what you are going to experience. His manner is kind and understanding, you feel like a real person not a rushed patient.

He is a perfectionist, and strives for the best results. I felt so comfortable with the entire experience. The follow-up is top-notch I highly recommend, this is THE place to go.

I had an impressive first appointment with Dr. Lange. He was highly recommended to me by a friend so I had some lofty expectations going in, and they were surpassed. Dr. Lange was knowledgable, patient, safety-minded, encouraging, and supportive. He spent over an hour explaining various options to me, did an examination, reviewed some photographs, and was honest about what he could and could not provide.

There was no hard sell, but rather an array of choices from which to choose. I have been to other MDs who were pushy and that seemed unprofessional. They would talk about my poorly aging skin in a critical way. I suppose it was intended to motivate me take care of that under their scalpels, but it made me uncomfortable. No one knows my skin better than I do, and I do not need to feel worse.

I have been looking for solutions, not confirmation of the problems. In contrast, Dr. Lange did not comment in the same way. Instead, he told me what he could offer. I appreciated Annrika who explained the financial part of the practice - again, no hard sell, just the facts. The office staff was friendly and efficient, and the office space is clean and beautifully designed. I recommend Dr. Lange and the practice without hesitation - and my friend's eye lift was magnificent! Treat yourself!

The staff and Dr Lange are very professional and pleasant. The bags under my eyes were HUGE and following surgery they are completely gone. I had this problem for 50 years and am still amazed they are completely gone.

After 15 plus years going to Laura Toscano at The Peer Group for Plastic Surgery, it is time that I share the reason for the compliments I get on my skin. Laura started me with a regimen of products which I faithfully follow morning and night including her emphasis on sun block. It has not been inexpensive but now that I see others my age I am glad that Laura has encouraged me to have the discipline to follow her guidance and come for my every 7-8 week treatments. Laura is a calm and competent esthetician whose emphasis is caution and accuracy.

She always checks to make sure I am using my products correctly. She double and triple checks everything she gives me and Has never made a mistake in the countless purchases I have made. She asks me questions to ascertain what is going on with my skin care. I don't have bad reactions to her treatments because of how careful she is in choosing what to use on me.

The time I have with Laura is always relaxing because of her demeanor and her skill. I wish I had not waited 15 years to write this but hope you will be inspired to book an appointment at Peer Group with Laura for a consultation.

In 2001, I had my first abdominal surgery for ovarian cysts performed by an OB/GYN. In 2002 and 2003, I again needed the same surgeries for cystic ovaries. I was encouraged to have children due to ovarian issues. In 2005, I gave birth and had to have an emergency c-section. 5 months later, I had an appendectomy go wrong and the doctor not only hit the artery but didn't complete the procedure. (Unbeknownst to me).

After months of illness, I found another surgeon in the Morristown area, he removed the piece of appendix left in me and after months of illness, necrotizing fasciitis, 2 debridements gallbladder surgery and hernia, I was on my way to healing. I had another child under careful eye and the last c-section was 2009. 13 abdominal procedures in all inclusive of drainages.

Through the hell, the mistrust of medical doctors and the shame of weight gain and body scarring from all the surgery, in 2013 I started karate and took control. Through diet and exercise, I went from 240 lbs to 185, however had all this unsightly skin and scarring. My GYN recommend Dr. Colon. Knowing my history, he knew I would only go to the best.

My consultation with Dr. Colon was comforting, relaxed and no pressure. He is not arrogant as you would expect with the "typical" plastic surgeon. The staff is friendly, no pressure and gave me options to take home and consider. I even asked about piggybacking a breast augmentation along with my abdominoplasty and he didn't want to do it for my health and previous surgical past.

This showed me it wasn't about the money with him, it was for my benefit and for what my major concern was and that was fixing my abdominal area. The procedure was professional, the results amazing and the recovery exactly as explained so far 2 weeks post op. I have received 5 calls, 2 from the doctor himself and 3 from his staff following up on my recovery which means so much to me.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Colon and his practice, his professionalism and mostly his amazing work on fixing my stomach. I actually have a belly button instead on a 7 inch scar and my kids say " mom, you don't have all that giggly skin anymore, we are so happy for you!" I am so happy too and couldn't recommend him more

The one star review referring to Dr. Lange is completely absurd. He has the best bed side manner of any surgeon I have been treated by. He is very kind and courteous. He went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and taken care of during all six of my fraxel laser surgeries. I had scarring on my face from a trauma I suffered. He was extremely sensitive to my situation and genuinely cared about my well being. My results have been amazing. I am able to feel more confident when I look in the mirror and none of it would have been possible without him.

Dr. Colin Failey is excellent from the Peer Group. I had an accident and shattered my knee cap. Ended up having to have a pedicle flap to cover knee due to a large open wound. Fantastic job, compassionate doctor, very nice doctor who truly cares and takes an interest in his patients. Highly recommended him.

I can't recommend enough to stay away from the Peer group. I should correct that, the Peer group seems fine, it is Dr. Lange you need to stay away from. After having one of the worst personalities I have ever experienced in a doctor, he then screwed up the order for my wife's implants and after having sedated her scrubbed the surgery when his distributor could not get him the right size fast enough.

When he told me it was our fault that he ordered the wrong size, I called him on his screw up and he said he did not want to do the surgery at all. So after waiting for my wife to come around, I took her home, and swore I would tell the world what an awful experience we had.
