Paramus Office

Why Bergen County Patients Choose Our Paramus Office

Gartner Plastic Surgery is located at 3 Winslow Place in Paramus, NJ 07652, in the heart of Bergen County. The office sits minutes from the Route 4 and Route 17 interchange and is a short drive from the Garden State Parkway, making it straightforward to reach from Ridgewood, Fair Lawn, Hackensack, Teaneck, Englewood, Wayne, and Mahwah. Complimentary on-site parking is available directly at the building, and the entire facility is wheelchair accessible.

Care here is led by Dr. Michael Gartner, DO, FACS, a double board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 20 years in practice and over 25,000 procedures performed. The Paramus facility houses an AAAASF-accredited surgical suite, private consultation rooms, and a dedicated recovery area, so surgical and non-surgical treatments are performed on-site rather than at an outside hospital.

Whether you are considering a surgical procedure such as breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, or a facelift, or a non-surgical treatment such as injectables or laser skin resurfacing, Dr. Gartner personally handles every consultation, procedure, and follow-up visit at this location.

Directions to Our Paramus Office

Gartner Plastic Surgery is at 3 Winslow Place, Paramus, NJ 07652, just off Route 4 at the Forest Avenue intersection, near Bergen Town Center. Complimentary on-site parking is available at the building, so there is no garage, meter, or street parking to deal with when you arrive. Open directions in Google Maps.

From Route 4

Route 4 runs directly past the office. Take Route 4 to the Forest Avenue exit in Paramus — Winslow Place is immediately off this intersection, close to Bergen Town Center.

Route 4 has right-in / right-out intersections and jughandles through Paramus, so the final turn differs depending on whether you are heading east or west. Add the exact turn for each direction, plus a visible landmark, so patients don’t overshoot.

From Route 17

Route 17 meets Route 4 in Paramus. From either direction on Route 17, take the interchange onto Route 4 East, then follow the Route 4 directions above to Forest Avenue.

From the Garden State Parkway

The Garden State Parkway meets Route 4 in Paramus. Exit onto Route 4 East and continue to the Forest Avenue intersection.

Confirm the Parkway exit number so patients can watch for the sign.

Parking and Building Access

Parking is directly adjacent to the building entrance and is free for all patients. The entrance, restrooms, and exam rooms are wheelchair accessible. If you need any additional accommodation, tell our team when you book and we will arrange it in advance.

Public Transit

The office is reachable by bus. NJ Transit routes 168 and 171 serve the Route 4 at Forest Avenue stop, a short walk from the office. The stop sits near the Bergen Town Center pedestrian overpass.

Confirm walking time and the safest route on foot from the bus stop to the building entrance — Route 4 is a divided highway, so this matters.

I was very well received, the team is wonderful, polite, and treats you very well. The doctor is amazing, there's nothing bad to say about him; he's wonderful, polite, and makes you feel comfortable. I saw some results before a month had passed, and now I'm two months in. I'm happy with my results. I'm very happy, I have no complaints, and I highly recommend it. This is the best place if you want to have surgery of any kind; I recommend it many times over.

I had tubular breast implants placed 18 years ago, and for the past four years I’ve been trying to move forward with having them removed. During that time, I became pregnant with my second child, which required me to cancel my surgery and delay the process. Life happens—but throughout it all, Dr. Gartner’s office remained supportive.

When I was finally able to move forward, I met the surgical coordinator, Raven, whom I had already been in contact with for some time. She consistently ensured that I received the best assistance and patiently answered my many persistent questions. During the consultation process, Raven was not just amazing—she was the very BEST. She demonstrated exceptional safety awareness, empathy, and professionalism, which made me feel confident and supported throughout my surgical journey.

My body was a reflection of Dr. Gartner’s work of art for almost 20 years, and for that I am forever grateful. The level of care and expertise speaks for itself. Raven’s support truly completed this experience, and I am so happy that she is part of your team.

Thank you, Dr. Gartner and staff, for making what could have been an overwhelming process feel safe, compassionate, and empowering.

Dr Gartner and his team are amazing to work with. I am in my 50’s and had Dr Gartner perform a breast lift for me 3 month ago. Going from 40DD to 38C, making my life so much more easier and less stressful. Surgery and recovery went well. I was back on video meetings the next day. Stayed home for a week due to drains, but minor pain compared to what I was expecting. Loved my results! Great experience overall! Highly recommend

This was my first time getting surgery, and I had a breast augmentation. Dr. Gartner was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain every detail from the lead up to the procedure, surgery day, and post-op care. On the day of my surgery, he walked me through everything step by step, which I appreciated so much. He’s very skilled and knowledgeable, and I’m beyond happy with my results.

I’m about 6 weeks post op breast augmentation with Dr Gartner, super happy with the results & how incisions are healing. I had one other consultation somewhere else before coming to Dr Gartner & there was a vast difference in time spent talking with Raven & Dr Gartner that made me confident to book my surgery here.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m thrilled that our friendly, professional team helped make your second FUE seamless and comfortable. As a double-board-certified plastic surgeon, I work hard to deliver the natural, confidence-boosting results patients expect from a top plastic surgeon near you at the best plastic surgery clinic near you. Seeing such great progress at just 3½ months means we’re right on track—most patients notice even fuller, denser growth between months 6 and 9. Keep us posted, and remember my staff and I are here for any follow-up you need. Your confidence—and your wife’s or girlfriend’s smile—mean the world to us! — Dr. Michael Gartner

I had a BR done in April 2025 and what can I say, NOT a great experience. From the beginning I knew my breast is uneven and I have inversion of nipple issues and Gartner kept dismissing my feelings and concerns. I mean that’s horrible, what kind of doctor does that. Never cared about what I was experiencing or my concerns. Tried to confuse me in the process. He even yelled at me once and threatened me to remove another review I previously wrote otherwise he wasn’t going to see me anymore! Very shocking. I am inquiring about this because that is unprofessional and unethical. All he cares about is the money, so go elsewhere. I paid him a big lump sump and that’s all he obviously cared about ( the money). After my surgery he disregarded my feelings and concerns. I should have got a refund for the money I paid and the results I received. Not a good job! I WOULD NOT recommend this office for plastic surgery.

So so happy with Dr.Gartner and his staff! I had a Brachioplasty under local anesthetic with 360 lipo, the results are even better than I imagined. I’m getting married soon and this has given me the confidence to wear a strapless gown! My arms were always something I dreaded to see in pictures and this has been a dream come true. I definitely will be returning to Dr.Gartner for future procedures. Really appreciate the attention to detail during the healing process as well. Thank you very much guys.

I had surgery with Dr. Gartner at the Paramus office over a month ago — and he was my only consult. His reputation, plus the option to be awake under local anesthesia, and his honest, straightforward approach made me feel completely confident.

The procedure was painless, recovery was smooth, and the results are natural, flattering, and perfectly suited to my body and lifestyle. He truly listened and delivered.

The staff was also warm, helpful, and supportive every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier! I only wish I had done this sooner.

Natural, balanced outcomes that fit your body and lifestyle are exactly what I aim for. I’ll be sure to share your kind words with my staff — they’ll appreciate it just as much. Thank you again for your trust and for allowing me to be part of your transformation. — Dr. Michael Gartner

Meet Your Surgeon

Michael Gartner, DO, FACS

Double Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon — Paramus, NJ

When you visit our Paramus location, you are treated by Dr. Michael Gartner personally. He is a double board-certified plastic and general surgeon and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, with more than 20 years in practice and over 25,000 procedures performed.

Dr. Gartner is nationally recognized for his awake surgery techniques, which allow many procedures — including awake breast augmentation and awake breast lift — to be performed under local anesthesia at the Paramus office. Patients avoid general anesthesia entirely, and most return to light activity considerably faster.

He has been named a New Jersey Monthly Select Surgeon for nearly a decade running, a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctor, and was recognized among Newsweek’s America’s Best Plastic Surgeons 2026 for breast augmentation. Read Dr. Gartner’s full background.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Every consultation at the Paramus office is conducted by Dr. Gartner personally — not by a patient coordinator or a nurse injector. Here is how the visit runs:

  1. Check-in. Bring a photo ID and a list of any medications or supplements you currently take. If you have had prior surgery in the area you are asking about, bring the operative report if you have it.
  2. Your goals. Dr. Gartner will ask what is bothering you and what you want to change, in your own words. Reference photos are welcome and genuinely useful.
  3. Examination and photos. A focused physical exam, and standardized clinical photographs for planning. These are stored under HIPAA protection and are never published without your separate written consent.
  4. Options and honest limits. You will hear which approaches suit your anatomy, which do not, and what results are realistic — including when the answer is that a procedure is not right for you.
  5. Timeline and quote. Recovery expectations, time off work, and pricing.

Awake Surgery Under Local Anesthesia in Paramus

The technique that most distinguishes this practice is awake surgery. Dr. Gartner performs a range of procedures — including awake breast augmentation and awake breast lift — under local anesthesia in the AAAASF-accredited surgical suite at the Paramus office.

For the right candidate, avoiding general anesthesia means no breathing tube, no anesthesia-related grogginess or nausea afterward, and a faster return to light activity. You stay conscious and comfortable, and you can go home the same day without a prolonged recovery-room stay.

Dr. Gartner has performed more than 400+ awake procedures at the Paramus office, and is currently the only surgeon in Bergen County offering awake breast augmentation
under local anesthesia. 

Awake surgery is not right for every patient or every procedure. Whether you are a candidate is decided at consultation, based on your anatomy, the extent of the procedure, and your medical history.
