Summit Plastic Surgery & Derm: Ricciardelli Edward J MD

Results so bad, I had to fly out of the country to get it fixed. His coordinator said that rhinoplasty is Ricciardelli's "wheelhouse". If rhinoplasty is his thing, I would hate to see the results of his other surgeries. I even gave him another chance to fix it, at my expense. He ended up refunding his surgeon's fee the 2nd time. I basically paid this guy about $10k to experiment and play plastic surgeon. The fact that this is legal, is beyond me. If there is anyone else out there that has had a similar experience with this surgeon, please reach out.

I can’t say enough about the positive experience we had with Dr. Ricciardelli. I had a very bad scar on my stomach from a previous abdominal surgery and he made it look amazing. He and his team treated me with the upmost compassion and made me feel like what I wanted was going to be top priority. Dr Ricciardelli is a gifted surgeon and is at the top of his field. Thank you for changing my life.

I had a bad experience getting my rhinoplasty from Dr. Ricciardelli. I had the procedure done April 3rd of 2023, so it's been over a year and a half and I am very unsatisfied with the results. My nose had no crookedness before but now my septum is wavy and thick with scar tissue. Very asymmetrical. One of my nostrils is now significantly smaller than the other. I told Dr. R about how I wasn't as satisfied as I had hoped and he told me for a year to wait for the swelling to go down, which wasn't my main concern, then told me to use Flonase allergy spray. When I started crying because my concerns were avoided and I was frustrated about it all, he told me to LOOK INTO COUNCELING. He even finally agreed it was crooked but tried to tell me it already was before. That was hard to hear and its a shame that he treated me like that after he messed up my nose. I have not gone back to get it fixed there because he said the procedure would be of no cost but the anesthetics would cost thousands. Not risking him making it worse. The nurses and front staff are nice at least.

I saw Dr. Ricciardelli in Supply and Wilmington for a melanoma surgery on my face. He felt like a friend who was genuinely interested in my care and outcome. Even more than me. I only cared about getting the melanoma out of there whereas he also cared about the scarring afterwards. Allison and all the other staff were great as well. They all made me feel genuinely cared for.

From my very first appointment, my experience with Dr. Ricciardelli and his staff was excellent. Since I have never had plastic surgery, my husband and I researched all of the surgeons in the area and found Dr. Ricciardelli to have the best credentials for what I was looking for(abdominoplasty); we were not disappointed. Dr. Ricciardelli took extra time and care to answer both my husband's and my questions, and he took even more time to make sure I understood what I would encounter and expect before, during and after surgery. This was extremely important, as this surgery is not to be taken lightly. Everything went according to plan, and there were no surprises for me (and I followed Dr.'s orders!). Although I am still a little swollen (8 wks post op...which is quite normal), I look and feel fantastic. The small football size pouch is no longer popping out of my dress. The staff is warm, friendly and professional, and I have moved all of my skin care to summit.

Dr. Ricciardelli's years of professional experience along with his confidence made it that much easier to trust him with my surgical procedure. His staff is very personable and friendly creating a very happy-go-lucky atmosphere. I would recommend Dr. Ricciardelli above all other plastic surgeons in the Wilmington area.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ricciardelli for about nineteen years, and his work never ceases to amaze me. Since I have been visiting, I have had chemical peels, Botox injections, and Juvederm; each experience being of the highest quality. Dr. Ricciardelli, as well as everyone on staff, are consistently welcoming, personable, and flat out wonderful. I have never felt uncomfortable or unwelcome in this office. Everyone is so helpful. As far as the actual technique of the procedures are concerned, Dr. Riciardelli makes medical procedures seem like an art form. He always asks about what you want and is considerate of your pain level, making it as comfortable as possible for you. Each time, I have had amazing results and he always calls to check on you after procedures. These results and constant caring of the staff has kept me coming back to the practice for close to twenty years. I have the utmost trust and respect in Dr. Ricciardelli! He and his staff are top notch, and I would never even question going anywhere else.
