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.

He's a talented Doctor, I'm eternally grateful he's covered by my insurance

Dr. Rizvi Reassures Concerned Patient
Nearly two years of searching for the cause of my debilitating right thumb pain, Dr. Rizvi diagnosed with such confidence and taught the solution to properly repair it, I felt a wave of assurance so right I authorize moving forward having surgery by him and his team. I look forward to this replacement procedure being successful and FINALLY healing away this tiring pain. Meeting him was a good experience. Thank you.

Best. Doctor. EVERRR! I have been going to Dr. Rizvi for years now (this review is well overdue)! I was getting my botox shots and fillers from him for the past few years. He is the only one who injects the right amount so I do not look overdone. Did a breast aug and rhinoplasty with him a year and a half ago, which looks amazing. I could not be happier. Just last month I did the "vampire face lift" (AKA PRP) with him. I am literally glowing! He is the only doctor I trust going to.

I'm so thankful to Dr. Rizvi!! I made a consult appt. with Dr Rizi to talk about my concerns over a previous FtM chest surgery I had done with another surgeon that fell short of my expectations. I have been to enough consults to be able to really understand the importance vetting surgeons. The reality is that, as a patient, I could have reasonable expectations or unrealistic expectations. He explained very clearly what he could accomplish and I was thrilled with my results. The Best.
