Dr. Evan S. Garfein

For Dr. Evan S. Garfein, every successful outcome begins with an honest conversation. “For elective procedures, there is never a rush,” he says. “I like to take all the time necessary to make sure that when we're going to the operating room, we are both completely comfortable and confident with our plan.” After earning his medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Garfein completed his surgical training at Harvard before returning to New York for a microsurgery fellowship at NYU. As Chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery at Montefiore Medical Center and Professor of Surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, he brings the perspective of both a reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon to every patient, believing the two disciplines strengthen one another. At Greenwich Street Aesthetics, he's known for breast surgery, advanced 3D surgical planning and a less-is-more philosophy. “There is nothing worse, in my opinion, than looking 'done,’” he says. “Patient happiness and great results mean everything.”
