After my deep plane face lift, neck lift and CO2 laser treatment, Gayle’s care made all the difference. She cared for me for three days, and was attentive, calm and very professional. She managed all of my medications, kept me comfortable and monitored my healing. On the second day, she identified a hematoma at one of the incisions and immediately contacted my surgeon and took me to his office without a moment of hesitation to have this addressed. Her quick action and clinical judgement prevented me from having to have an emergency surgery. I felt completely confident in Gayle’s hands and I couldn’t have asked for a better nurse. - Carrie D.
I decided to hire Gayle based on a recommendation from my plastic surgeon’s office. After several calls and email exchanges, I felt very comfortable trusting her with picking me up after my surgery and getting me to my hotel room for 24 hour care. I honestly can’t remember getting to the hotel room, but I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She provided the upmost care anyone could ever ask for. I also enjoyed her company. If anyone doesn’t have a family to accompany them for care, I highly recommend Gayle. She came prepared and even created my very own chart to track my medication that she left for me. Go with Gayle! She is trustworthy and such a nice person. - Tania D
This was my second plastic surgery procedure, and I knew I wanted a private nurse for my recovery. The first time, my husband took care of me, and while he did his best, it was overwhelming for both of us. I was in a lot of pain, felt faint frequently, and had multiple medications to manage. He was caring for me around the clock, and we both ended up exhausted. The more stressed he became, the more anxious I felt.
For my second surgery, I knew I wanted a different experience. I spoke with several private nurses, but from our first conversation, I knew Gayle was the right choice.
She took care of everything. She stayed on top of my medications, kept my pain well controlled, made sure I was eating and drinking enough, and anticipated my needs before I even had to ask. Most importantly, she gave me complete peace of mind. I never felt stressed because I knew I was in experienced, capable hands.
Hiring Gayle was one of the best decisions I made for my recovery. - Kate A.
Gayle came highly recommended by my surgeon to care for me after having a very complicated revision rhinoplasty, and I’m so glad I hired her. She provided excellent care for me for two days. She monitored me constantly, and gave my surgeon frequent updates on my recovery. She made sure all of the incision care my surgeon wanted was done and that my medications were taken on time. And she made sure I was as comfortable as possible. I would recommend her highly to anyone having plastic surgery. - Daniela B.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care I received from Gayle Frankel, RN following my surgery. From the moment she arrived, she was incredibly attentive, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to making sure I was comfortable and well cared for during a very vulnerable time.
Her professionalism was exceptional, but what truly stood out was her kindness and the genuine warmth she brought into my recovery process. She anticipated my needs before I even had to ask, monitored everything carefully, and provided such reassurance and comfort throughout the two days she was with me.
Beyond her outstanding nursing skills, she brought a level of compassion and personal care that made all the difference in my healing experience. I felt safe, supported, and truly cared for every step of the way. I am deeply grateful and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone needing exceptional post-surgical care.
I had the privilege of receiving exceptional post-operative care after my thigh reduction, and I cannot speak highly enough of Gayle. She brought a rare combination of professionalism, grace, and genuine compassion to every part of my recovery. Her presence was calming, her care was meticulous, and her attention to detail made a meaningful difference in my healing experience.
She took the time to ensure I was comfortable, informed, and supported at every step. What stood out most was the sincerity of her kindness and the confidence she inspired during a vulnerable time. I felt truly cared for, not just as a patient, but as a person.
I am deeply grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking refined, attentive, and compassionate post-op care. - Melinda G.
I hired Gayle for two days of post-operative care following my facelift and it was one of the best decisions I made surrounding my surgery. Her clinical expertise was evident from the start. She knew exactly what to watch for, kept my surgeon informed, and made sure my recovery was as smooth and comfortable as possible. My healing exceeded my expectations and I credit a great deal of that to the exceptional care Gayle provided. - Ava H.
After my double mastectomy, I was scared and completely unsure how I would get through the recovery with having drains to take care of and manage all of the medications that I was prescribed. Gayle recovered me for three days, and I don’t know how I would have managed without her help. She took care of everything. She was constantly monitoring me, and she made sure I took my medications on time and that I was eating and drinking enough. She made sure that my pain medication was taken when due even in the middle of the night so I would be as comfortable as possible. I will never forget the care she gave me during this very difficult time in my life. - Beth M.
I can’t say enough about how supported and cared for I felt from Gayle during my facelift recovery. She was not only highly skilled but genuinely kind and caring. She handled all of my care with thoughtfulness and calm reassurance. I felt truly looked after. Any concerns I had were met with patience and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Gayle to help with their recovery. - Kelly B.
I truly felt I was in the safest hands possible with her! Gayle is the best. Lying in bed weak and insecure I remember feeling so grateful that she was there. Her presence brought me real comfort and peace of mind. She has such a fabulous personality; warm and genuine, and at the same time is incredibly professional, knowledgable and attentive. She is caring in a way that goes beyond expectations-you can just trust her completely. I’d honestly want her as my nurse and my friend. I was in the best hands possible. - Joy L.
I’ve been waiting to get a mommy makeover for a while but was terrified of the recovery, especially the pain. My surgeon recommended Gayle to take care of me and it was the best decision I could have made. I had four drains and I take a lot of medications in addition to the post-op medications, and Gayle managed all of this. She made sure I was as comfortable as possible. She gave me my pain medications in the middle of the night so I wouldn’t wake up from the pain. She monitored me constantly. Neither I nor my husband could have managed all of this because we’re not medical people. Gayle made every aspect of my recovery feel safe and completely under control. I felt completely taken care of in the truest sense of the word, and I know my beautiful results were in large part due to her excellent care. - Emily T.
I received the best care from Gayle after my facelift. She was attentive and compassionate. I ask a lot of questions and she answered them with clarity and patience, and eased all of my concerns. She monitored me day and night, and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. She also made sure I was eating and drinking enough. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side during my recovery.
I’m incredibly grateful for the care I received from Gayle after having a blepharoplasty. She was knowledgeable and attentive and alleviated all of my worries during those first few critical days. She managed all of my incision care and medications and made sure I was comfortable and reassured. I truly believe that my smooth recovery and results was a reflection of that level of care. I couldn’t have asked for better care from a cosmetic surgery recovery nurse.
Have used Gayle’s services twice and am very pleased. She’s prompt, prepared and knowledgeable, always having my best interest in mind. Personable and very patient. Would highly recommend. - Carol G.
Gayle helped me recover for the first 72 hours after a mommy makeover. She was gentle, accommodating, fun to be around (more important than you realize while recovering), and took great care in making sure my recovery went well. I highly recommend her support and service! - Alice C.
Gayle is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive as a nurse. Recovering from plastic surgery can be stressful, especially when your partner is loving but not medically trained. Having Gayle there removed an enormous amount of anxiety—for both of us. I never once felt like I had to manage or explain my own care. She kept my medications perfectly organized and administered on time, monitored me closely, and handled everything with quiet confidence.
I hired Gayle last minute to help me after my rhinoplasty revision when I realized the recovery was tougher than expected. Best decision ever! Gayle was a lifesaver especially during the first couple of weeks when recovery was at its toughest, always touching base with me even when she was not in my home, helping me out with anything and everything from picking up prescriptions to doing my dishes and laundry to coming with me to post-op appointments. Gayle is kind, warm, professional and incredibly supportive during a time when I was vulnerable during my healing process. I can’t recommend Gayle and her services enough - even if you have a spouse or friend around to take care of you there’s nothing like having a true medical professional providing that extra dose of quality care right from your own home.
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Gayle to care for me post-operatively at my home. Gayle was lovely, sensitive, very knowledgable, came with her own supplies, and was very hands on with post operative care. She handled my post-op wound care, dressing changes and kept me on track with my medication scheduling round the clock. She also reminded me to eat, rest and took care of minor household needs while caring for me. Even after leaving, she texted to make sure that I was doing ok in the following days. As a medical provider myself and a recent post-op patient, I highly, highly recommend Gayle for post op care or any type of nursing care that one might need! - G.
Gayle is an outstanding nurse! So caring, thoughtful and kind. Gayle made me feel ever so safe and she was great company! I can’t recommend her enough. - Eva D.
I cannot express my gratitude enough for the incredible care Gayle provided after my double mastectomy. From the moment she arrived, she brought a sense of calm, compassion, and professionalism that made all the difference during my recovery. - Hannah G.
