He's an amazing surgeon and very highly trained and knowledgable compared to most doctors. I've had a few procedures done- breasts, lipo/BBL, tummy tuck, fillers/botox for twice a year now. He's a total perfectionist and spends more time every time. He has a sharp eye and has talked me out of a lot, he's very honest and has amazing taste. I'm so happy every time after and there's never been a time I look overdone. I look better than I thought possible and always get compliments!! I have so much more confidence. He's thorough when explaining everything, all pros and cons and considerations as something like even filler can have other effects. I seriously could not be happier. It's clear he's not in it for the $ THANK YOU DR ATTARAN!! - SHILA M read more

DR. Atteran is not only an amazing plastic surgeon and artist, but has the best bedside manner to say the least! I love him, and felt that I was treated like a family member. Thank you Dr Atteran for making me feel so special and beautiful ! Your are truly the BEST! read more

The staff was very nice. The doctor was very knowledgeable and patient in explaining to me what the procedures are.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Dr. Attaran. From my consult to post-op appointments, Dr. Attaran and team were professional, caring, and attentive to all my needs. He's not only a highly skilled surgeon but also an artist when it comes to creating natural-looking results. He took the time to understand and address my specific concerns and let me know the procedures that be unnecessary. The staff made me feel comfortable and confident through the process, they were always available to answer qs and provide support before & after. Thanks to him and team I'm thrilled with my results. My confidence has skyrocketed and I feel more beautiful and confident than ever before, I'd highly recommend him to anyone who's considering having something done. His honesty, commitment to excellence and the office's patient care truly sets them apart read more

He's the only doctor I trust, I will not trust any other doctor. Trust me when I say I've been around, and there's no other dr I've come across whos as honest, conservative, NATURAL, and will never so much as suggest something that's even slightly overdone or that you don't need.. and that's RARE. The fact that he's talked me out of multiple asks/procedures that would've been a mistake, I am SO grateful. THANK YOU DR ATTARAN read more

Gave me several "sales jobs" pictures, the works. Quoted me costs and I wrote them down. I returned to his office and had a relatively small procedure done and afterward price had gone up. When I attempted to communicate with him and he went into his office and refused to speak with me. I sense that is not physically-mentally well. read more

Dr. Attaran is a true professional. I have seen him for years and I trust him completely. He always asks what I want and is supportive of my "less is more" approach. He has guided me and helped me remain youthful without feeling pressured to do more. I wouldn't go anywhere else. He is very educated, kind, and always takes his time. I never feel rushed. I highly recommend him and am so happy I found him. read more

I originally went to Dr. Attarans office around 2019. I spoke with him about my space I had in my ribs after giving birth to two kids. He was very charming. I reached out to schedule with the office then they took my payment and was supposed to call me back with an appointment. I called them a few times and inquired about an appointment and they always said they will call me back. I then went back into the office because the office staff stated I needed a new appointment for him to look again. I believe that was in 2021. I went into the office, after working out in the gym and feeling better about my body, and the doctor stated he will have to cut even more then before. After that, they was suppose to call me with an appointment date and I still didn't hear anything from them. I call every year 2-3 times a year and I now want my deposit back because he obviously don't have the time to do the procedure, and the office would rather call me back instead of offering me an appointment when I call. I was told today that the office manager is never in the office and I won't be able to contact Nancy. Then I won't get a refund even though I did my part in trying to schedule but once they got my money, they just forgot about me. His office is rude and unprofessional. He isn't that bad but easily distracted and don't listen to your questions or concerns. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Attaran's for over 7 years. He is so talented! He is patient and never rushes through an appointment. I feel that he genuinely cares about me as a patient, and as a person. After my breast cancer surgery. Dr. Attaran performed my reconstructive surgery. I am so happy with the results. He is also amazing with non-surgical treatments. His office staff are so kind and helpful. If you are considering working with a plastic &/or cosmetic surgeon, I strongly recommend Dr. Homayoun Attaran, MD. read more

My mother had a tummy tuck done with him. She was unhappy with the results. She went in 3 times after her surgery for check ups and every single time he would say something different. He would not listen to her concerns and disregarded her pain. We ended up going to another cosmetic Surgeon to get it fixed. Turned out he performed lipo on her instead of the tummy tuck she paid for. He is unprofessional and rude. read more

I've been several times for Botox treatment: I have deep creases in between my brows, 3 deep lines on my forehead and I had also read that Botox can be helpful for TMJ issues. I'm usually very uncomfortable under the needle but Dr Attaran's attention to detail and slow, methodical approach really put me at ease. I'm so happy with my results- he made sure to place the Botox ST I would not have any residual creases. My girl friends in LA are pretty jealous that I got this kind of treatment in the Bay. read more

See all

This is a long overdue review. I had a substantial surgery done by Dr. Attaran back in 2018 and every day I am grateful I chose to do the procedure and for who I chose to do it for me. Dr. Attaran was professional, caring and helped inform me on the options and probable results of my procedure. I met with him several times in the months leading up to the operation to answer any new questions, check on my status and to finalize the desired results. He showed me many examples of similar procedures he has done, discussed the potential risks and potential scars, recommended slight changes in my diet and lifestyle to help me recover faster. It was an 8+hour operation for me. The team had the facility prepared, they prepped me and helped me relax for 45 minutes before starting and confirmed the plan with me. It was clear the whole team was dedicated to me for the whole day to get this done right. I am still pleased with the results and recommend Dr. Attaran to my friends and family. My results have been excellent, and I almost can't find my own scars two years later. This was a pivotal moment in life for me and I felt cared for, and well treated through this very personal journey. I want to thank Dr. Attaran again for his kindness, understanding and skill. I recommend that you meet with several surgeons, including Dr. Attaran, be honest with what it is that you want, do as much research as you can to educate yourself, and if you do decide to move forward with Dr. Attaran, he will take care of you. read more

Every diagnosis from Dr. Attaran has turned out to be true. Every course of treatment has turned out true. He is honest and a great Doctor. read more

I have been receiving botox and fillers from dr. attaran for years. He is patient and careful to explain what he is using and what to expect. He will refuse to give you a procedure if he thinks it is not suitable for you. I have also brought my daughters to him. Also, his office staff is always very pleasant. read more

Atienden muy Bien hace como 7 semana me hice una abdominoplastia y me están encantando mis resultados muy buen doctor 100% Recomendado asta mi auto estima se me subió gracias a Él read more

My wife had two consultations with Dr. Attaran, and so this evaluation is really hers. In her opinion, he takes the time that is needed, explains everything in great detail, answers your questions patiently, and gives you all the information you need to make your own decision. She also found him to be very polite. Rather than doing his utmost to make a sale, he is extremely honest, and puts the patient first. She also liked the office staff. They are nice, friendly, and helpful. read more

I first saw Dr. Attaran in September 2007 for a consultation. I really liked his bedside manner, but wasn't ready to go ahead with surgery. In July 2008, I decided to bite the bullet (due in large part to Melinda's friendly personality) and had a tummy tuck. The results Dr. Attaran achieved were nothing short of miraculous. I came away feeling like that "girl I always wanted to be". I almost cried the first time I put on a bikini and saw my new belly. I have since had liposuction on my hips to help smooth out some of the other problem areas. Dr. Attaran is very honest and intelligent. His sense of humor is very dry, but funny. He is honest and straightforward; this is not a doctor who will do needless surgery on you. If you don't needs something that you want done, he will flat out tell you it's a waste of money. Dr. Attaran is my surgeon of choice. Both times I have had procedures with him, there has literally been NO BRUISING. I was and am amazed at the results he achieved. One small complaint though, be patient. Dr. Attaran has a tendency to run a bit late, but his treatment of you while you are under his care negates this in it's entirety. Any procedure you have with Dr. Attaran will be done with absolute perfection and artistry. He's a true professional and a magician with a scalpel. read more

This is my first yelp review and I felt compelled to write this one! This is actually long over due. First of all I had breast implants 23 years ago by Dr. Hegg. He was an incredible surgeon and person. He cared about his patients and really listened to what they wanted. In 2016 one of my saline bags ruptured and I needed to have both my bags removed and input new ones. I went to Dr. Attaran since his office is in Dr. Hegg's old office. My husband and I had a consultation with Dr. Attaran and I explained that I wanted the same size and results that I experienced with Dr. Hegg. He advised that I should have a breast lift as well. He would make an incision under my breast and input the bags in that way. I was concerned because Dr. Hegg put them in through the areola. I figured since I was also getting a lift that would make since. A few days later I had an appointment to talk about specific size and type of implant. He showed me two pictures on his laptop. One was of a woman with what looked like natural breasts. Then he showed me a picture of a woman that was dressed provocatively and asked me to choose which one i liked better. He pointed to the provocatively dressed women and said this is porn. And said you probably like her better. I should have known that was my clue to run. I continued with the surgery. I saw the doctor a lot because my left breast was swollen. i saw Dr. Attaran at his Danville office and he told me to wait a few days then let him know how it was. I called his office (in San Leandro) and told them what was going on with my left breast. They scheduled me for a procedure to drain some liquid from my breast which cost me another $1200 on top of the $12,000 I already spent. When I went in, he looked at me and said why didn't you let me know how back this is. i explained that I went to his Danville office a few days ago. He claimed he never said to wait a few days. Ultimately, my right breast is great, however my left is hard and as my family jokes (Its the odd couple). Now I have to strategcly dress with my breasts in mind. I cannot wear tight fitting tops because it is obvious that one breast is 1 1/2" than the other. i did go back to the doctor and he told me he informed me about the risks and if I wanted to have them re-done, it would cost another $11k. I'm done with him. i am currently seeking another doctor that can correct me problem STAY AWAY FROM DR. ATTARAN. HE DOESN'T DELIVER WHAT HE PROMISES!!! Find another cosmetic surgeon; there are so many out there. Do your homework and really talk and listen to the doctor!!!!! read more

By far the most trustworthy and gentle doctor I've ever had. He truly has your best interest at heart at all times and does an amazing job. I moved to LA and still make the drive up because I can't get myself to trust another doctor as much. It's a one-stop shop! read more

This surgeon is incredible. I can not recommend him highly enough. I won't get into details but I severed a tendon in my hand and Dr. Attaran performed the "re connection". I was on only on local anesthesia and to be perfectly honest, I could have slept through the procedure, no pain. My hand is as good as new now. I felt his fee was very reasonable and he also made sure I came back for a few check-ups after the procedure, very helpful. His staff is excellent as well. If you need surgery, this is the doctor to go to... read more

I totally agree with Chele B and Denise P. The worst decision I could have made was walking into Dr. Attaran's San Leandro office 02/2019 for an inner thigh reduction due to a disfigurement. On the first visit he was nice and knew exactly what I wanted and said that he could make this happen. On the second visit he was nodding off to the point I had to ask him was everything okay. I was told he had taken some medicine hence I should have taken off right then and there "the writing was on the wall". Needless to say, after the procedure I complained of not enough being removed, he explained that it was too early and that I was still swollen, so we would revisit it in March. Well March came and the story changed to him telling me that he did what I paid him to do so I disappointingly said forget it. Looking in the mirror all these years later my inner thighs are still disfigured and now I'm on my way to a fantastic Dr. to correct Dr. Attaran's work. Don't know what took me so long to write this review better late than never. If anyone refers you to him RUN FOR THE HILLS. read more

This is the worst experience I've had in my life!!!! Before procedure I asked what I would look like. Dr stood behind me, pulling face & neck up. That is not even close to what I received. My 2nd visit (first w/Dr) I was told he would never work on me again if I paid $100,000. NICE Yelled at me loudly. I started shaking & ran out of office. After I had not seen any improvement having gone through a mid lift he told me I needed something else which if so I would have done. I do all or nothing & nothing I do is half ass. Turns out I do not need the next procedure At the beginning, middle & after kept showing me other pictures which was unimportant to me. We are all different. Probably used pics form another site. I took pics after & no differences except my new deformities. I'm so very said at my whole experience. The friend who took me & picked me up was treated poorly. Dr was no present on my 1st appt after surgery. Surgery center in SL was very old & dingy. I almost backed out. There was no reasoning with Dr. There is more I can say but for now this is the quick version.I can't stand it anymore that I will get this I must pay to have the botch job redone. read more

What a gentle, kind, knowledgeable doctor! He clearly explained what is possible vs. what is impossible and why. He warned me of the current fat-freezing fad which is a scam: "Fortunately it doesn't work!" I would absolutely trust him if I could benefit from his procedures, but he told me I couldn't. He gave me some great weight loss advice instead. For free. 5 stars all the way! read more

Dr. Attaran worked with all 3 of my sisters 10+ years ago, and they were all pleased. So, when I decided to have a minor procedure, I went to him. From my experience, he is clearly NOT the doctor he once was. I was not fully happy with my results, so i met with him about a month ago, we decided on revisions he would make, and the fee was reasonable. Based on that conversation, i felt good about my surgery date and our plan. Yesterday was my surgery, and I left without getting surgery,and frightened by the aggressive nature of this "dr". He didn't remember what we were doing. I asked that he pull out any notes he took so we could go over the plan. His description of the scars I would be left with was not the same as what we had discussed the previous visit. I asked if he had any photos I could look at for reference, which I think is perfectly reasonable. During the span of this 15 minute conversation doctor attaran became clearly agitated by my questions, and concerns. Instead of taking this time to make me feel comfortable and confident, he begrudgingly gave me short answers. He told me the questions I asked were as if "I asked a mechanic if he's ever put gas in a car before." I'm sorry- this is my body not a car you're working on. At this point I did not feel comfortable at all with following through with the procedure. I communicated my concerns with Dr. Attaran, which is when he told me that I could go somewhere else, and that he would give me a full refund. I really didn't have a choice at this point but to agree and leave, as there was no way I was going to allow this man to put me under anesthesia. The trust was gone. As I was standing there nude changing out of my gown to my personal clothes, Dr. Attaran barged back into the room leaving the door wide open behind him. He moved towards me very aggressively, and proceeded to slam the cancellation policy sign in the locker I was getting my belongings from. The sign would have hit me in the face had I not moved my head back- I was terrified. He then through gritted teeth and with his hand raised in a fist told me to read what I signed, to get out and that he didn't want to see me there again. I thought he was going to strike me. I was frightened, shaking, and in tears. I couldn't get out of the office quick enough. When I approached the reception desk, his wife who runs the front of the office, looked at me like she knew EXACTLY what had happened. I will never forget the way she looked at me. I didn't know what to do, so I walked to the hospital that is in the same parking lot that his office is in. I explained to them what had just happened to me, in tears, still in disbelief at my experience. The doctor there encouraged me to make a police report and to contact the American board of plastic surgery to make a formal complaint. I can only speculate as to why he behaved in the way that he did towards me on that day. I believe that once Dr. Attaran created his own in office operating room, and no longer needed to rent a room from the hospital in the same parking area, that this may have dropped his entire quality of work and professionalism. In the hospital, he would still have to abide by all of the hospitals ethics standards and policies- since he has his own operating room, he's free to do whatever he pleases without having to worry about someone else watching over him. I also know that his father was very ill during this time, but that is still no excuse for this behavior- you don't take your personal life struggles out on your patients. I urge anyone who has had a negative experience to say something, because I guarantee you this behavior is not new. I hope this is helpful. Please go somewhere else. read more

I have gone to Dr. Attaran numerous times over the years, and have always left satisfied. He always gives his honest opinion and I'm assured I'm getting the best possible care. Many of my family members also go to him because they appreciate his knowledge and his kind bedside mannerism. He really takes his time to explain what to expect from the procedure, and is never in a rush to send you out the door. The office manager is always willing to work with you to make your experience as easy as possible. You can tell Dr. Attaran is not in it for the money and always charges reasonably for his work. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good, knowledgeable plastic surgeon. read more

I had a plastic surgery procedure at Dr. Attaran's surgery center . The procedure was done flawlessly and beyond my expectation . I recommend Dr. Attaran to anyone who needs a top notch plastic surgeon. He is excellent in what he does. Everyone in his office is professional and kind. read more

Dr. Attaran was very thorough in explaining to me the procedures I wanted done and answered all my questions & concerns. He made me feel very comfortable and helped me have clear, realistic expectations. He performed liposuction of my abdomen, flanks and fat grafting to the butt. I had a small butt, and he helped me expect that I wouldn't have a Kim K butt, but just a fuller one and that's exactly what happened! A year later I went from using size small for underwear and swim bottoms to medium and it does look fuller! I'm very happy with my results. I'm also happy about the liposuction, my waist has decrease a few inches, which I'm super happy about!! It's been over a year and my dresses & jeans fit better. I'm extremely happier about my body. I full heartedly recommend Dr. Attaran, he's an honest surgeon and will do his best to help you have clear expectations and you will not regret going to him. read more

Dr. Attaran has earned the reputation as being "The Fixer". Do yourself a favor and see Dr Attaran first. It will save you THOUSANDS of dollars and disappointment. I won't go into the details of what a mess my first abdominoplasty was, but I can say that now, not quite 4 weeks post-op I am over the moon happy with my results! read more

I went to Dr Attaran in August 2014,specifically for Botox shots on between my brows, and when I did not get the results (no change whatsoever!!), I normally get when I get the shots from Dr. Hegg (who's practice he has taken over after Dr. Hegg's untimely death), I went back to Dr. Attaran - only to find out that he had injected me with some cheap stuff not approved by FDA and without consulting me first and without my approval to use any other product other than Botox. I would never use anything not approved by FDA. He was very unprofessional and unethical. I have a complaint with the Medical Board. read more

Dr. Attaran, is not what he appears to be. He starts out all kind of full of details and information, but by the end of your procedure, you're a bundle of nerves. I have never experienced anything like this before. The scar he was suppose to remove is larger than before. Also my tummy tuck was a disaster. I was left with an open wound for months. Please beware!!!! Read other reviews about him before letting him touch your body. The worst! Not to mention his temper. read more

OK... so had previous work done (nose - back in 2007) and was very happy w/ the surgery, the doctor, the experience as a whole. So when it was time to for my new boobs... yes - I said boobs... well - Dr. Attaran was the man to see. He spent almost 2 hours with me, discussing the procedure, taking measurements, showing pictures of other augmentation surgeries (good and bad), discussing over and under the muscle pros/cons and even spent some time telling me that he didn't think that I really needed to do anything at this stage (at first glance, that all changed once he started measuring my frame and such)... anyway - when all was said and done - he and I came to an agreement that it would happen... and in less than 2 weeks! I'm not one to wait around for something so exciting to happen!! I can't even begin to say how ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED I am with the girls... I told him a solid "D" - no less... and to actually "err on the side of bigger"... and he certainly delivered... it's been almost 8 months since my surgery - and I'm still a "DD" (same as the day after my surgery). As a side-note: they don't look as huge as they may sound - they are absolutely perfect for my frame - just as he said they would be... I tell everyone that he's the "man" for any plastic surgery. He is meticulous and amazing... if even a bit conservative. You must meet him... and see what he can do for you! You will be happy that you did... I promise! read more

Dr. Attaran is an mazing surgeon! He is the best. I found him to be very thorough thoughtful, caring, down to earth and an expert at what he does. Most importantly, his office manager Melinda (she has since moved on to another clinic) is completely knowledgeable about medical practice, billing, and the many resources at her disposal. Melinda has a soothing and loving manner about her, and she made all the paperwork easy. read more

Dr. Attaran is phenominal! I recently had my tummy tuck with him and I highly recommend him to anyone! He's incredibly generous with his time and medical knowledge! I will definitely use him again if I decide to have any more procedures! He's the best! read more

I wouldn't even consider going to another plastic surgeon for any procedures. My first procedure with Dr. Attaran was a rhinoplasty, which was something I'd wanted to do for a long time but couldn't bring myself to. Finally based on recommendation I scheduled a consultation, and he knew exactly what I should have done without me having to tell him. It was my first surgery so I was very anxious but the staff made me feel at ease. It went smooth and painless and I could not have been happier with my results. Before I could never take photos front view because my nose appeared so wide on camera. Now it's all I take, I absolutely love my nose! Since then I've gone in for botox and fillers, his work is always natural and unlike some doctors he is very honest. He's a true genius and the best at what he does, I can't say enough great things about Dr. Attaran and his staff! Note* If you're concerned about price and were thinking of going somewhere else because it'd cost less, don't. This type of work is forever so pay a few extra grand to have the best work done on you. read more

I had such an overall positive expereince with Dr. Attaran and his office that I was compelled to sign up for Yelp and write about it. I decided ten years ago that I wanted breast implants. I am a nurse. I have spent the last decade researching my options and saving money. A friend of mine, who is also a nurse, recommended I see Dr. Attaran as she was very pleased with her experience with him. I had already researched other surgeons in the area and was frequently turned off by their pretentiousness in their advertising or descriptions from friends/coworkers. From the minute I met Dr. Attaran I felt at ease. He spent an hour and a half conducting my initial consultation. He throroughly explained the procedure and my options. It was very apparent that he was a knowledgable and meticulous practitioner. I had appointments lined up with other surgeons which I decided to cancel because I was certain I had found the right doctor. He spent one hour at my pre-op appointment, making sure that they two of us had the same vision for my desired outcome. At the surgery center (which was very well run -- I even received a phone call from the anesthesiologist the night before my surgery to see if I had any questions), Dr. Attaran's bedside manner and professionalism calmed by fears. I am completely happy with my results. I have the breasts I wanted for a very long time. I never once felt uncomfortable, rushed, or ripped off. I felt that I got the highest quality of care possible. Additionally, Dr. Attaran's office manager, Melinda, is amazing. She helped me schedule appointments during my lunch hour, she emailed me paperwork and she called to check up on me a few days after my surgery. As you can tell, I am 100% satisfied with the care I received and I would recommend Dr. Attaran to my dearest friends and loved ones. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! I was interested in saline breast implants. Upon inquiring about them he literally said, "they are disgusting; they look and feel like shit." Then continued to say that he is a "man" and when he touches a woman he wants her to feel like she is real, not like that garbage! Then he said that if we were to place the implants, he would put them on top of the muscle. I looked at him very puzzled and explained that the other surgeon that I had seen said that he would go under the muscle. Dr. Attaran said, "good, go to him and let him turn you into a circus freak." These were all of his words. What kind of professional would say such a thing? I was completely shocked! He then quoted me a price that was $1000.00 more than I was quoted over the phone by his staff. When I told him this he said, "they lied" and walked away. I left his office in tears! I have NEVER been treated so poorly by someone who is suppose to be a professional. I seriously think this man needs medication! read more
