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.

Not board certified
He is a terrible surgeon!!! He is NOT board certified because he can't pass the boards. He doesn't take insurance because the insurance companies won't work with him. Please do yourself a favor and find a better plastic surgeon.

He should be embarrassed by his work ethic and knowledge. He ruined my lips. Do your research before going to this disaster of a “dr.” He’s not board certified, terrible attitude and arrogant for no reason. Stay far away from him.

Awful. Terrible bedside manner. Go elsewhere. I had to put this one star just to post this. Otherwise he’s a negative star.

Very arrogant. He made several mistakes with the surgery he performed. I later learned he has malpractice suits going back to when he was a resident.
