Summit Plastic Surgery & Dermatology

My first time with Dr. Shedlofsky. I was very pleased to be able to schedule an appointment 2 weeks out for 2 suspicious spots. The office location is convenient, and the space is quite pleasant. Front desk staff is friendly and helpful. The wait was acceptable. Dr. Shedlofsky is very upbeat, congenial and friendly. She was very attentive and thorough. She discovered a spot I was not aware of, and offered options for treatment for another spot of concern. I felt very comfortable during the visit and trust her evaluation. I was very happy with my experience and look forward to remaining a patient and returning again in the near future.

I highly recommend Dr. Ricciardelli at Summit Plastic Surgery. From the first consultation to the end result, every part of the process was excellent. I was nervous and excited to consider a procedure to lift my neck and lower face area. After meeting with the doctor and his staff I felt immediately confident that I was at the right place to get the procedure. Doctor Ricciardelli is very talented and accomplished. He explained what would be right for me. His head nurse Alison is amazing and they all took great care of me before, during and after surgery. The results have exceeded my expectations and I am so happy. Very grateful!

After much consideration I finally decided to consult a surgeon to discuss options for Septorhinoplasty. I had a great experience with Summit right from the start. Their level of professionalism was beyond my expectations. Going into an unfamiliar practice knowing you will be discussing surgery can be overwhelming but I did not find that to be the case at Summit Plastic Surgery and Dermatology. The staff exhibited such a professional and caring demeanor, I felt like I had known them for years. They immediately put me at ease. I think the environment is so comfortable because they really love what they do. Dr. Ricciardelli was just as accommodating as his staff. I had a lot of concerns and he listened and responded to every one of them. He explained all the risks and was very honest about the expectations and the length of the healing process. He guided me through careful consideration and did not rush my decision or try to “sell” surgery to me. He presented a very detailed and accurate description of the procedure and outlined exactly what to expect during recovery. Everything happened just as described and I followed all post-op instructions without any unpleasant surprises. They took great care of me at my appointments after the surgery. Dr. Ricciardelli wasn’t just there to check my nose. He always greeted me with a handshake and a smile and then settled on a seat in a relaxed manner and began to talk to me as if he had nowhere else to be. I felt like I was his only patient and had his undivided attention. I do not regret my decision to allow Summit to perform my procedure. I know I received the best quality of surgery Wilmington has to offer. I was very lucky to have found a skilled surgeon with a caring staff. I am pleased with my results. For anyone considering cosmetic surgery, this team will not disappoint!

Dr. Shedlofsky was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable during my appointment. She explained everything to me from start to finish, from what caused the issues I was having to how to fix them to potential side effects. I really appreciated her honesty and willingness to walk me through all of the choices I had. I truly felt so comfortable and cared for by the entire staff at Summit.

After a disastrous experience with Summit Dermatology in Shallotte, I decided to go to Wilmington to an actual doctor rather than a PA. I was told it was too soon to be seen again and had to schedule another visit to be treated for precancer sun spots known as Actinic Keratoses. So, three months later, I get the same diagnosis for a new skin condition as I got in Shallotte: wisdom spots. Really? I'm not a child. I know I'm old. But it isn't age related anyway. It's Seborrheic Keratoses and I have a bunch of them. My real concern though, is being treated for Actinic Keratoses and again, the doctor didn't see one, but pretended she did and gave me a couple of random half azz sprays to appease me. I wasn't appeased. Moreover, when asked about my family history I told them that even though I found my birth family, they were not cooperative sharing information because my birth mother was drugged and raped at age 17 and I am the product of that encounter. It must have made them uncomfortable because Dr Shedolfsky gave me the bum's rush and set my next appointment for a year later. ( I have been treated for AK every 6 months for many years.) For insurance reasons, I had to wait a year to see another Dermatologist and I did so yesterday. There i got the professional, knowledgeable treatment I have been accustomed to getting with concern, compassion, and care. I also had a concern at my last visit with Dr Shed. My back had developed places that my wife was really concerned about. Dr Shed said, "there os nothing going on with your back that isn't related to years of sun exposure." Really? Because it cleared up on its own. I'm sorry, but Summit Dermatology is clueless and childish.
