Dr. Samuil D. Rafailov is triple board-certified in general surgery, cosmetic surgery, and facial cosmetic surgery. Dr. Rafailov is well-versed in the width and breadth of his surgical fields and believes that spending time with patients before surgery is just as important as spending time operating. Along with his utmost interest in patient education, Dr. Rafailov is also highly interested in minimally invasive surgery, breast enhancement surgery, liposuction, liposculpting, as well as body contouring surgery.

Dr. Rafailov comes from an immigrant family and grew up in Brooklyn, NY, where he earned his undergraduate degree from Brooklyn College. He completed his medical degree at New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, and postgraduate training in general surgery at Flushing Hospital Medical Center in Queens, NY. After successfully completing his surgical training, Dr. Rafailov sought additional training in cosmetic surgery through an accredited fellowship in Spokane, WA.

While training in Spokane, Dr. Rafailov also served the community as an acute care surgeon at several local institutions, including Deaconess and Valley Hospitals. After completing his training, Dr. Rafailov moved back to the east coast to be closer to his family in New York. Dr. Rafailov accepted an attending position as a general surgeon in Newton Medical Center and Hackettstown Medical Centers and continued practicing cosmetic surgery in Manhattan, NY.

Soon thereafter, the community began to show interest in cosmetic surgery locally. This desire inspired Dr. Rafailov to open his own practice in Northern Jersey to meet this demand and provide services previously unavailable to our community.

Dr. Rafailov is an active member of the American College of Surgery, American College of Osteopathic Surgeons, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and American Osteopathic Association.
