Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through implants or fat transfer techniques. Ideal for patients seeking improved proportions or post-mastectomy reconstruction. Our surgeons use advanced placement methods to achieve natural-looking results while prioritizing tissue health and long-term satisfaction.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck procedures remove excess abdominal skin and tighten underlying muscles. Particularly beneficial for post-pregnancy body contouring or post-weight-loss patients. We combine liposuction with precise tissue repositioning to create a flatter, more toned abdominal profile.
Hand Surgery
Our fellowship-trained hand surgeons treat carpal tunnel, fractures, and nerve injuries. We employ minimally invasive techniques for tendon repairs and arthritis management, restoring function while minimizing scarring and recovery time for both traumatic and chronic conditions.
Skin Cancer Reconstruction
We specialize in reconstructive surgery following skin cancer removal. Our team collaborates with dermatologists to restore facial and body defects after Mohs surgery, using grafts and flaps to maintain both appearance and protective skin function.
Belt Lipectomy
Belt lipectomy addresses circumferential skin laxity after massive weight loss. This procedure removes excess tissue around the entire torso while improving abdominal contour and redistributing remaining skin for smoother, more natural results.

I had the best experience with Dr. David Refermat! I was referred to him by my dermatologist and he was able to take care of a small cyst on my shoulder right away. He was very friendly and made me laugh throughout the procedure. The other nurses and office staff were great too! Definitely exceeded my expectations.

Doctor Refermat deserves way more than 5 stars! He was the first doctor to show me any bit of compassion for my situation. I've had a "funny feeling" in my finger on my left hand for a couple of years. but in January it escalated quickly to a mind boggling shooting pain that did not go away at all. When I came to the office he proved to me that he cared within the first minute of meeting. I instantly felt at ease.
He did everything he could to figure out what was wrong with me. Soon after, he took out two tumors from under my fingernail. Doctor Refermat was quick and the most caring healthcare professional I have ever met. I hope he and the office knows how thankful I am. You guys changed my life!

This was a great experience from the very beginning with the office staff and nurses & Doctor Refermat, Very pleasant. The first meeting with David H. Refermat, he told me exactly what needed to be done and addressed any concerns in advance so I didn't have any questions. I had the procedure done earlier today and it all went so smooth. Thanks again Doctor and to all involved.

In addition to being incredibly skilled, he demonstrated great compassion, a wonderful combination for any patient, especially one with a biopsy diagnosis pending. In addition, his entire office staff from reception through procedure are the gold standard for excellence in care! Sincerely grateful. JoAnne Ryan Pittsford, NY
