Review by Richard ***** November 12, 2025

5/5

Dr. Craig Forleiter is an OUTSTANDING plastic surgeon. He closed an open wound on my nose with an area 1.5 inches x 1.1 inches with a skin graft taken from my shoulder. Due to his skill and treatment, this wound healed completely in just two months. I am ecstatic with the results.
