I’m beyond grateful to have found Dr. Gikas. I underwent a rhino/septoplasty with him two months ago, and it was absolutely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From my first consultation, Cheri and Dr. Gikas made me feel genuinely welcome, comfortable, and at home. I had consulted with several other surgeons in the city prior to finding Dr. Gikas, and he was the first surgeon to take a look at my nose and tell me I had a deviated septum that needed to be corrected for better breathing (which I'd always wondered). He also took the time to ask and really listen to what I wanted to change about my nose. My recovery process was smooth and painless. Not only can I breathe so much better, but the aesthetic result is beautiful and better than anything I'd imagined. My nose fits my face SO well. Dr. Gikas truly has a gift for both artistry and detailed precision. I couldn’t recommend him more! You will be in great hands.

Dr. Gikas did my rhinoplasty October 3rd, 2025. My primary care doctor actually referred me to him which already made me feel safe knowing that the doctor I've been seeing since I was a baby had recommended him. He is so attentive and knowledgeable, he already knew starting from the consultation what I wanted. He is very talented, it was a scary surgery for a 19 year old to go into but the results changed my life. It truly was so worth it and I'd do it 100 times over again. Gikas is so underrated, he truly is so good at what he does and I'll never forget how amazing my nose looks now. Recovery was painless, I didn't even need the pain medication I was prescribed. Results looked amazing even with swelling when we first removed the cast. Every time people ask me where I got my nose done I refer them to Gikas without a doubt in my mind. If you're thinking about any kind of plastic surgery, please schedule a consult with Dr. Gikas!!! Best decision of my life.

I'm extremely grateful to have received care from Dr. Gikas and I am confident in having the best outcome functionally and aesthetically. It is a blessing to breath so much better and I appreciate that his approach was meticulous and he refuses to rush his time in the OR. Not only is he an extremely talented surgeon, one can quickly see that patient wellbeing is genuinely a priority and great source of motivation for him. Cheri was incredibly supportive and kind as well. Dr. Gikas is a truly a legend and I will always remember what he did for me. Thank you, Dr. Gikas.

From the very first consultation, I knew that Dr. Elias Gikas was the right doctor, and I trusted him 100%. He did everything exactly as we discussed, even though others said it wouldn’t be possible. After the surgery, he has been very attentive and always available to answer any questions. Sherry in the room is incredibly kind and caring, making the whole experience very comfortable. I’m so glad I chose him!

Choosing Dr. Gikas for my nose procedure was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I struggled with breathing issues from a deviated septum, and Dr. Gikas is truly an artist—my breathing has completely improved, and my nose looks amazing! Sherry was also incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend Dr. Gikas and his team!
