This doctor got his formal training in PM&R, which is NOT anything REMOTELY close to dermatology or cosmetic surgery. Please go find yourself a properly trained dermatologist or plastic surgeon in cosmetics, don't gamble with your own body and health by going to someone who has no fundamental training and clearly is in this for money.

Dr. Bracci does not know what he is doing! After his fillers injections I was swollen and bruised for a month. After the swelling went down the sagging and wrinkles came back with filler balls under the skin at the injection sites. Horrible! He needs to spend time on learning the techniques not on advertising his awful service and ruin faces. Now I have to remove these filler bumps with a help of a plastic surgeon.

Doctor Bracci is awsome. He is an excellent cosmetic surgeon. I personally feel he is the best, honest, ethical and very knowledgeable. HE MAKES ME FEEL SAFE when i am in his hands and that is very important to me. My experience is always positive and he recommended the best treatments for me. He was very pleasant and attentive and extremely involved every step of the way.

I like to also mention that the staff was very professional and specially organized during the covid crisis. their customer service was excellent and exceptional. I personally enjoyed the experience and the office and the results exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him.

I love doctor bracci. I visited verve medical several times for Botox. This time my visit was related to my dark circles. The doctor suggested the eye rise, the doctor fully explains to me what this procedure was about.he answered every question that I had in my mind and made sure I fully understand everything. Not only I had the eye rise done but the base lift as well.

The result were speechless. I was very impressed. The money is worth it. I look younger and more confident about myself. I Am A make up artist and for me the natural beauty of woman is very important. I look very natural just younger -, rested not more dark circles. I will highly recommend doctor bracci not only to my friends but colleagues and family.as well.

The verve medical is an space very welcoming very bright and clean. The staff is amicable supportive and professional. This is important for me because it makes me feel Comfortable. And this is exactly the same relationship that I establish with my client when they come for a make up consultation. Is a good investment for your face. Highly recommend these procedures

I came back to verve after several years on west coast only to find dr bracci condescending and dismissive when I requested a "free" consultation which is an advertised perk at his practice. Dr Bracci was astonishingly rude in fact which was crazy considering how much $ I have spent with him in the past 12 years. What a creep and his staff was acting terrible too.

Love Dr Bracci! He's very professional! I have been to other doctors and was disappointed. I am always 100% satisfied when I am at Verve! This staff is great, I feel so comfortable from the moment I arrive. I recommend this place to all of my business associates and friends. He's changed the way I look.so happy!

Obvious they just want your money and it's all a scam. You walk in and before you can even address your concerns, they just immediately give you a price sheet for fillers at a ridiculous price. Besides the nicely decorated office, it's a mess. Avoid this place by all means.

I had the EyeRise procedure done with Dr. Bracci after a lifetime of despising my dark circles and under eye bags. I was very apprehensive about having anything cosmetic done to my face. I worried about it hurting. I worried about not looking like myself. I worried about not seeing a difference. You name it, I worried about it. But seriously none of my concerns ever came to fruition.

I honestly couldn't be happier with my decision to have this treatment. There is a considerable difference in my appearance and others agree. Do not hesitate to book this procedure with Dr. Bracci, or any of his other services. He is a very gentle, patient and meticulous injectable artist, and his results will have you looking perfectly natural. Not to worry! =

You guys, read the reviews and educate yourself about this place before making an appointment. I went in a couple months ago and I've been meaning to write about how bad it was, but, it wasn't until I recently went to a different doctor to realize how terrible my experience REALLY was at Verve medical. Firstly, they put you in a tiny room and a woman will talk to you about what you want done before even seeing the doctor. Then, they make you pay before anything even happens.

I find this very un-classy. I was forced into getting "organic" Botox. I'm not even sure what the name of it was at this point but it lasted about a month. He inserted it like he was Edward scissor hands- shoving the needle in and out for 30 seconds using a vibrator on my head. He swore this "technique" was the best. I couldn't believe what had just happened.

I was shook. I left with bubbles all over my face where he injected and wasn't even given an ice pack or a water bottle!? It was such a gross experience and I would never recommend this place to anybody. I feel bad for people who go here for their first injections, thinking this may be the "norm". it IS NOT. Stay. Away.

I'd had a previous treatment at another UES establishment that was less than satisfactory, so I was wary. Dr. Bracci is fantastic. He worked with me to achieve the results I'd hoped for and was very attentive and fair. He's a skilled medical practitioner and really something of an artist with his ability to visualize and carry out natural effects. His staff members are warm and also forthcoming about their own cosmetic experiences. Highly recommended!

I had an experience so traumatic at this office that only years later am I able to write about it. I was injured and maimed by Dr. Bracci after a simple Botox injection. He was so aggressive in his technique that he blew out several veins in my forehead. I developed shingles from the nerve trauma. I was sick for more than two months and the bruising and discoloration took years to resolve.

This man is neither a cosmetic dermatologist nor is he a plastic surgeon, and I was wrong to assume he has legitimate board certification in either of these specialties. There are so many qualified physicians in Manhattan to see for facial rejuvenation where you will be in good hands. One of the worst decisions I ever made was to see Dr. Bracci and I believe I have PTSD from the experience.

I've visited Verve multiple times now for botox and fillers, and Dr Bracci and staff are wonderful! Compared to other places I've had these services done in the past, Dr Bracci is extremely fast and precise, and I experienced no bruising afterwards and almost no pain during the injections due to his technique. Dr Bracci and staff listen to what you'd like to achieve, and ensure that you are satisfied with the results. I highly recommend!

Dr Bracci is a FACIAL ARCHITECT!.I have been to many GOOD Doctor's over the years BUT Dr Bracci is a GREAT Doctor with the eye of an artist. He puts various fillers in my face in unusual places and he ALWAYS brings fullness to the places that need it. I keep my body trim so my face really needs fillers to stay youthful Dr Bracci is the reason i look the way i do at 70 years old. Energy Up V

Dr. Bracci is a miracle man. I have been working with him for two years. He knows what to do, when to do it, never too much, but always building towards a healthy, full face. No one has ever asked if I have had work done, but I am constantly complimented on how happy and healthy I look. I have a lot more attention from men which is nice at this point.

You cannot go wrong here. And the staff is professional friendly, and discreet. Enjoy! Two years later, I am still a happy camper. Though there is occasional bruising, which is hard to explain, I feel Dr. Bracci keeps improving his technique and the choices he offers. I love VERVE. And I am still loving it. He has a wonderful eye lift, under the eyes that opens the whole face.

I wouldn't go anywhere else! I am so glad a close friend recommended Dr. Bracci to me 2 years ago. Dr. Bracci's technique is unmatched- he pays careful attention to my skin goals, listens to my feedback and then successfully performs procedures that give me a natural look just as I prefer. I have sensitive skin and tend to bruise quite easily.

Since I switched to Dr. Bracci, I have also have not experienced anymore skin bruising and feel less pain overall during my treatments. I wouldn't recommend anyone else but Dr. Bracci & Verve. I am also very grateful to all the wonderful staff at Verve whom are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They always make my experiences feel like spa visits. 10 out of 10.

Great experience! I recently went for a light touch up. The staff and Dr. Bracci were delightful, informative and attentive. The new office space is modern and welcoming (& has a gorgeous outdoor space). I'm glad I revisited after taking a long break from my regular routine. Definitely recommend!

Dr. Bracci is truly an artist. He has treated me several times and I continue to be more and more impressed. He focuses on making me look natural and not at all "done." He also takes his time answering my questions and explaining the procedures. He continues to make me look better and I would recommend him to anyone. His staff is also extremely warm and welcoming which I greatly appreciate. Thank you, Dr. Bracci & staff.

DO NOT GO HERE. He is a FRAUD & RIPOFF- another doctor who over-dilutes the botox, with no result. When you go back for a "free" re-injection because the 1st one for $300 had NO RESULT whatsoever, they treat you like you're crazy & they have no idea why you're back. You can show them your face moving & same lines as before & its as if you're speaking a different language.

Then he comes in, seemingly obligatory & annoyed that your back, drills you with his vibrating needle, that gave me the first bloody bruise ever from getting botox and in less than 6 seconds, he says he's done & quickly scurries out. This place is sleazy. Read the other negative comments & there you will find the truth.

As a medical professional (my specialty is esthetic dentistry) I would like to give Dr. Bracci an unqualified review. I went for a consultation at the age of 68 - I was preparing to have some facial surgery to take off some of the aging that has occurred. He presented a well thought out treatment plan and I underwent a major facial rejuvenation about three weeks ago.

I was realistic about the outcome that was to be expected. Here are my thoughts: 1. Consultation was accurate and my results FAR exceeded the expectations. 2. There was great value for the fee I was charged. 3. The results were a tad unnatural for first 48 hours and no pain was experienced during the approximate hour and half procedure. 4. I would judge the results a B+ 72 hours after the procedure. 5.

I would judge the results an A++ two to three weeks after the procedure. My gut feeling is that for 20% or less of the proposed plastic surgery fee - I ended up with 99% of the results. BUT UNLIKE SURGERY I ALWAYS LOOKED NORMAL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I would judge only a rare and very talented clinician has the critical eye that he has. I have had other facial fillers before and consider they were well done.

He has set a new bar. Dr. Bracci is in my opinion a superb physician and a Zest for his work. Passion for results counts in my opinion. I feel my money VERY WELL spent and am happy that I avoided surgery. I had no work done on my eyes as he felt it was ill advised. He take great pains to steer patients in the right direction and away from procedures do not deliver results or value. He has 100% of my trust.

I was initially attracted to the Ads for the $200 botox special and knew it was a good deal after shopping around. They even give an incentive that if it does not take well that you can come back within the week for additional injections. I thought at first that this was a very good business practice until i found myself having to constantly inconvenience myself with coming back for another visit after a week.

I asked why this would be happening and i was told i had a high tolerance to the product. I believed that the Dr was a stand up guy so i shrugged it off and went with his recommendation to increase the amount and area coverage. With age i was concerned about the lines starting to show around my eyes. Each treatment now cost me $375 and being unaware i trusted his suggestion.

After 6 days i had the same results as before so i called for the free touch up. Granted, you can not fake this because either the injected area is moving or its not. When i came in for the touch up he seemed to be in a hurried mood as if, "Your back again?" He could obviously see that his prior injections did not work but remained agitated at me as if i had something to do with it.

I told him that i realized that they have to dilute the botox at the office and perhaps his dilution ratio was off and that i read that some Dr's dilute 2 to 3x more which would give them more product but with less effect for the patient and in reality actually ripping the patient off. I asked if he could actually dilute the product in front of me instead of in a separate room but he said his staff already had an open bottle and refused.

Now here is the crazy part. The assistant hands him the needle and he starts by pinching the skin on the side of my eye and shaking it while injecting vigorously to the pint where it was really hurting and his assistant was wincing. He now went to the other side and i stopped him and told him not to do that again but to do it normally like before.

This time with each injection he held the needle in longer than ever before and actually was moving it around while inside. I prayed for it to be over. He abruptly left the room while his assistant wiped blood off of my face and pressed an ice pack against the treated area. She actually asked me if i was ok because she also knew the Dr was overly aggressive and how he did the procedure was not the proper way.

I had to stay in the office for almost 30 minutes before the bleeding and redness would subside enough for me to go out in public. That night the areas remained traumatized and by the morning i had a black eye on the side he was pinching and light bruising on the other eye. I was upset and decided not to leave the apartment. Even with sunglasses on i could see the bruises.

I wanted to take legal action but when you sign in they have you sign a waiver and if his assistant testified she would be fired or plagiarize herself to keep her job. It was a horrible week for me and it still haunts my memories to this day.

Where do I start? Dr Bracci and his staff are wonderful. I was apprehensive the first time I went to the office. The staff and Dr. Bracci took the time to explain the procedures to me. They made sure that I was comfortable before we started. Dr. Bracci is a true artist. He is so good at what he does. He takes pictures, shows them to you, tells you exactly what he is going to do and then does it.

I am so happy with the results that I have been back to the office many times and have NEVER been disappointed. His talent is unbelievable. I highly recommend Verve, and Dr, Bracci.

I went to Verve for the "Eyerise". I am a tough customer and I was more than happy with my entire Verve experience! I felt very comfortable that Dr Bacci was making the right decisions for me and the results were exactly I wanted. It gave me a lot of confidence and I couldn't recommend this practice enough! Thank you Verve!

This is exactly what you DONT want in a surgeon! I was first seen by "Isabelle", who asked what I wanted done, then tried to give her own explanation of the procedure as if she was sharing real medical information. Then she immediately gave me a quote. Dr Bracci then came in for approximately 3 minutes, sat back, explained the procedure (while giving me only negatives on all other options - If I wanted to look "younger and rested, he could do that. then goodbye), then left me back with Isabelle. Isabelle asked if I wanted to have the procedure done right then - a $3k plus filler without even giving me a moment to think about it. When I said no, she offered me a reduced price. I wouldn't buy a car from these people, let alone let them put a needle in my face!

I really give this Dr. and the treatment 0 stars. The best part of the process is the office. It looks very nice and they strategically play soothing almost hypnotic music. Dr. Bracci was done in all of 3 minutes and just like he tells everyone he told me $1200 he can make me look about 7 years younger but if I really want great results I should get the cheek injections for an additional $1000 to look over 10 years younger. (The old bait and switch).

I think for $1200 I should see a good amount of results. It's a scam. For as quick as the procedure took I knew it would be too good to be true. He showed me the mirror after telling me it was all done and then he asked if he can take a picture to show other people how good the results are. Well after I left and went home thinking my main insecurity had been taken care of, in two days the swelling went down fully and it looked like I'd never had anything done.

So basically that's why they take pics of people right after the treatment because when your face is a little swollen from the local anesthetic and the injection, it creates the illusion that you're eye bags are blended in. And just like that I was another sucker out of $1200.00 in a matter of 2 minutes. I wouldn't suggest this waste of money to anyone who likes their money and expects results.

I have been seeing Dr. Bracci for a few years, now. His bed side manner and professionalism is highly appreciated. He is warm and caring and - more importantly he is an artist. I also appreciate the fact that Dr. Bracci always listens carefully and he understands what I desire. He takes his time to hear my needs. The results always look natural, even when I ask for a little more 'drama.' All you need to do is communicate with him and he comes through for you.

I feel so much more confident after leaving his office and I also love his staff. They are friendly and make you feel emotionally supported and physically comfortable. I highly recommend him. Any detractors don't know what they are talking about. He is never pushy never brusque and he asks you to come back for a follow up visit to make sure that you are happy. How many doctors do that? Dr. Bracci, thank you! I used to be a model and you have kept me looking my best! I'm very happy.
