Friendly, warm, knowledge, light-handed, and all-around nice guy. Very happy with his work. Having needles anywhere near your eyes is terrifying but he was reassuring and injected in a way that left no bruising. Oh, his staff is really kind, too!

I was so tired of looking tired. I did a LOT of research before choosing Dr. Kotlus and glad I did. "Spa" places and "clinics" were out - I wanted a licensed doctor who was trained - needles near your eyes aren't for pseudo professionals. Friendly, helpful staff. The appointment was 3mo away due to limited covid hours. Didn't regret it at all! Dr. Kotlus said it was reasonable to expect about a 50% improvement due to my personal situation. Honestly, I think it's more like 95% improvement. I think anything more would look fake. My partner says I look like we met 3yrs ago - and like I got a really good night sleep. So happy - now to call for another appointment for another little fix. (I should also add, this was the first time I had done any fillers or anything!)

Perfection! Artistic, smart, kind, caring, not a factory, does not talk you into unnecessary procedures, personal, great front desk Marissa, amazing touch, doesn't hurt, cutting edge, fabulous hands. What an absolute pleasure to find such a gem in the sea of NYC doctors. For 2 decades I went to my beloved injector who now resides in heaven and have been looking for his replacement for years. Found him! Run don't walk to Dr. Kotlus. I know you will have the same experience my face did.

Would highly recommend to see Dr. Kotlus for any of your face concerns. This was my first time for botox and fillers and I'll definitely be going back! Dr. Kotlus has great bedside manner and he will recommend what he thinks will help without being pushy or over the top. He gives off a 'less is more' type of approach so I didn't feel like he was going to overdo anything. The office is very clean, the front desk people are very friendly, and the procedure itself was 15 min. and virtually painless.

I have had drooping eyelids forever and at 45 I figured it is only getting worse. After a lot of researchers and meeting with several doctors I chose Dr. Kotlus. It's been 100% the right choice. He is and excellent surgeon and has a wonderful bedside manner. He really listens and comes up with the best game plan without upselling or giving you any false promises. I am 1 week out from surgery and have plenty of healing left but already the difference is amazing. I ended up having both upper and lower blepharoplasty and he also did a peel under the eyes to help with some fine lines. His offices are incredibly professional and his staff are all lovely. I was put out and when I woke up about 2 hours later it was done. I felt a little woozy from the drugs but otherwise pain free. Assuming that would change as the day wore on I was ready for it but the pain never came. I was certainly sore and felt my eyes swelling but there was no real pain. The next day, as Dr. Kotlus warned me, my eyes swelled and it made seeing difficult. I kept using the cold compress that he provided and that helped a ton, along with Tylenol for the discomfort. Day 3 was my worst, my eyes were slits and face was super puffy. But then it gradually eased and as of today, day 8, I feel terrific! I had my stitches out yesterday which helped with the last of my discomfort and I love the results already, knowing that I have a bunch of healing still left. I cannot recommend Dr. Kotlus enough! He's terrific. If you are thinking about the procedure, or anything eye related, he's fantastic.

I have dark circles under my eyes due to hollowness. I had seen really good results on Dr. Kotlus’s website. So I decided to give him a try. I am so glad I did. My results are beyond my expectations. First of all, Dr Kotlus is a true professional. His friendly demeanor put me at ease right away. He explained the procedure in detail. Answered any questions I had and then some. My end results are wonderful. So good, that even my husband commented several times over the next several days. I will definitely be going back for further treatments. Thank you Dr Kotlus. You are awesome!!!

What an amazing visit I had with Dr. Kotlus. I have been procrastinating about doing something to make me look more alive. This was the first time getting a cosmetic procedure and I am just thrilled with the results. Dr. Kotlus is a warm and caring professional that took the time to listen to my concerns and did the most conservative treatment that looks so natural. He explained everything he was going to do before and while I was having the procedures done. I can tell you that if you have been waiting please go you will be so happy you went!! I am 50 and so happy with my under eye fillers, and botox. P.S hands down to the receptionist she was so accommodating and pleasant to speak with and what a pleasure.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Kotlus. I've been to numerous surgeons and dermatologists for filler and botox and he is BEST!!!! He took the time to explain what can and be done and I am thrilled with the results. My eyes look 10 years younger and the botox is perfect...no droopy eyelids or raised eyebrows. I would HIGHLY recommend him!!!!!!
