An engaging and informative read,
By Elizabeth (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets of a Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon: The Expert's Guide to Safe, Successful Surgery (Hardcover)
I recently saw Dr. Kotler's book featured on Fox News Your World with Neil Cavuto. I was very impressed with the information Dr. Kotler shared in the segment and since he mentioned that all of the imformation was in his new book, I decided to purchase a copy. After reading the book, I felt as if I had just consulted with Dr. Kotler. The book is packed with everything one considering cosmetic surgery could possibly want to know. The book was very thorough and very engaging. I recommend this book to anyone thinking about cosmetic surgery or just simply in the mood for a good read about a very interesting subject.

Top Cosmetic Surgery Guidebook,
By Elizabeth (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets of a Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon: The Expert's Guide to Safe, Successful Surgery (Hardcover)
I have been considering cosmetic surgery for some time now. I wasn't quite ready to begin consulting with doctors but wanted to start learning about my different options. I purchased Dr. Kotler's book after it was receommended to me by two other friends who had read the book prior to having surgery. I ordered the book and just finished reading it. I feel well equipped to start the surgeon interviewing process thanks to Dr. Kotler's book. I had many reservations and this book helped to allay most of them. I feel more confident than ever that I am ready to go ahead and start the process of consulting with doctors. For anyone considering or even wondering about cosmetic surgery, this book is an excellent start. I promise you won't be dissapointed.

A TV Reporters review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of a Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon: The Expert's Guide to Safe, Successful Surgery (Hardcover)
As a news reporter, I am always looking for the most understandable and comprehensive information on the subject at hand, so when I started seriously thinking about cosmetic surgery, I went to the bookstore and started searching for answers. When I found, bought and read Dr. Robert Kotler's Secrets Of A Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon, even though I live thousands of miles away, I felt pretty much like he was there to comfort and guide me. He offered the pros and cons and seemed to really care about his profession with a passion and care if his reader had a successful, safe experience. Whether you are thinking about some type of surgery, or have already made up your mind, I would recommend reading Dr. Kotler's book because face-it, when you are about to do something this important, you need all the support and all the facts you can find.
