Strong track record on minor procedures like cysts and moles, with patients praising clean technique and patient comfort. However, a significant subset report serious problems: one cyst regrew after incomplete removal, another keloid worsened, and an older review alleges major body contouring failures. Wait times and receptionist responsiveness vary widely.

One patient reported a successful minor procedure that boosted confidence. However, most reviews describe arrogant behavior, botched cosmetic work that worsened the original condition, refusal to refund, and pricing confusion. Evidence is limited but strongly negative.

Most reviewers experience professional surgical outcomes paired with staff who remember their names and make time for urgent needs. Yet a minority report unnatural-looking results, nerve injury, and a sharp shift in the surgeon's demeanor when complications surfaced or cosmetic upselling was declined. The gap between five-star devotion and one-star grievance is stark. The clinic spans multiple surgical categories: septorhinoplasty, abdominoplasty, body lift, breast reduction, rhinoplasty, and fat transfer. Staff members Diana, Brenda, Wendy, and nurse Mina receive specific praise. Home care coordination after surgery has been arranged for out-of-town patients. Pricing for some consultations and procedures is not fully disclosed upfront.
