Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have nothing but rave reviews for Dr. Bruce Chau and his team. I live in central New York and Dr. Chau was referred to me as an exceptional surgeon. From my initial zoom assessment to pre-op and post-op care, all of my expectations were met.
Dr. Chau set clear expectations for my breast reduction surgery, before, during and after surgery. His staff was supportive and helpful with billing clarification and in providing employment and insurance documentary support. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

Dr.Chau is such a wondrful doctor who my wife and I met
August,2021. We did a theory research regarding his practices and founded exactly what we were both looking for also expected such as satisfactorily ended results. Barring his excellent & final
results he administered also executed by Dr.Chau. In addition, he reshaped my wife by making her looking so amazing, she fitted
a dress that could not wear over eight years, she went from a 2x to a large. He also take time to explain what is to be expected including surgery process and procedures. And of such we both highly without any hesitation recommended Dr Bruce Chau for all types of plastic surgeries perform and needed. with all the above mention we sincerely wishes Dr Chau the best in his continual services.

Dr. Chau was extremely thorough in our initial consultation. He was very informative when discussing the options for breast augmentation and his experience with the procedure. He was very interested in my input and made sure I felt comfortable with the decisions we were making together. The surgery itself went great and I am very happy with the results!

My experience with Dr. Chau was wonderful. He fully evaluated my needs and took good care of me before and after my rhinoplasty. He explained every thing he was going to do and made sure I was comfortable with my procedure. He made me feel more confident and excited about my procedure. All my friends and family asked for who my surgeon was and they want to get procedures done with him. 10/10 would recommend Dr. Chau. What you dream of getting done, he will make it into reality.

It is obvious that Dr. Chau cares about his patients. He spent as much time with me as I needed and did not rush through our appointments. He did an amazing job on my rhinoplasty/septoplasty and gave me the exact results I wanted. I would recommend Dr. Chau to anyone looking to get these procedures done. He is truly an outstanding surgeon. Thank you Dr. Chau!
