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.

Exceptional work on my facelift
Dr. Daines is an exceptional surgeon who did a great job with my “everything” facelift.I had a deep plane face and neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyes), fat transfer, temporal lift and a deep plane lip lift, plus he had to deal with scar tissue from a previous face lift. Even though I had so many things done at one time, I never had to take any of the prescribed pain pills. As the weeks went on, it kept getting better and continues to improve. I am nearly two months post op and I wouldn’t change a thing. You can trust him with your face, he is a perfectionist!His team in the office and at the surgical center are also top notch

I've been consulting w a few doctors for a rhinoplasty. Dr. Daines definitely stood out because he actually listened to my needs and/or concerns. He was engaged in the conversation. I never felt rushed. He has a GREAT bed-side manner, and gets the joke. He has a wonderful sense of humor and conveys confidence in how the patient will look & feel post surgery. I can't think of anything more important during a consult -Cant wait to schedule my surgery with him!

Dr. Daines is the best from basic rhinoplasty to complex facial reconstruction. His qualifications, education, knowledge of surgical options, access to elite medical specialists, and facilities are the best. Yes, even the best in Orange County, CA where the best in plastic surgery hold their practices. I could not have selected a better plastic surgeon for facial reconstruction after having aggressive cancer removal. I am beyond pleased with my results and his care for me.

Five star Doctor!! I've been to a handful of facial plastic surgeons which is a funny thing to admit, but Dr Daines is truly the best of the best. He has an amazing bedside manner but most importantly he's a phenomenal surgeon. For the first time, I actually felt like he gave me what I asked for and more. Run to his office to make an appointment!!!

I love Dr. Daines!! I came to him in the summer wanting a rhinoplasty and a turbinate surgery. He knew exactly what I wanted my nose to look like without my having to tell him. Surgery day came and he took his time and made my nose PERFECT! I absolute love my nose now and feel so much better about it and I can breathe for the first time in close to 20 years. He really cares about his patients. He and his staff are amazing!!
