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.

Dr. Brahme is disgusting. There’s really no other word for it. He’s rude and condescending and comes across as super shady. He’s one of those guys that is clearly 100 but thinks that wearing teal pants and Vans makes him look young.

Review I felt fully confident with Dr. Brahme for my breast augmentation. He put safety over beauty— I asked him about gummy bear implants or tear drop shaped ones, and he said that he doesn’t use those since they are textured and associated with a risk of lymphoma. He also told me that he would not go any bigger than I asked for, nor would he go with my request if he felt it wouldn’t be safe or feasible during surgery. He also addressed my concerns about breast implant illness and emphasized how his decision making is driven by research and evidence-based practices; he backed up all his answers to my questions with research and his extensive clinical experience. I was super nervous at first, and getting surgery during covid is especially nerve-wracking because you can’t have anyone with you in the waiting room. The nurses, anesthesiologist, and Dr. Brahme were all so kind, caring, and professional. I had no complications. Dr. Brahme and his nurse did a good job following up with

AWFUL. My inner thighs are now ASYMMETRICAL and my chief concern was not addressed. I gave him a chance to redo the surgery and my body still does not look any different!
