I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Berkowitz. He is truly a rare combination of…read morebrilliance, artistry, and genuine compassion. From the moment I met him, I felt completely at ease. He listens deeply, understands exactly what you want, and offers thoughtful guidance without ever being pushy. His eye for detail is extraordinary -- he sees things other surgeons completely miss, and his creativity allows him to deliver results that are both natural and beautifully refined. What stood out most to me was how much he truly cares. He is patient, warm, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. He checks in, makes sure you're comfortable, and approaches every step with professionalism and kindness. I always felt that I was in the absolute best hands. And the results? Truly exceptional. Better than I could have imagined. He enhances your natural features in a way that still feels like you-just the very best version. His work is elegant, balanced, and meticulous. If you are looking for a surgeon who is not only technically gifted but also compassionate, intuitive, and dedicated to achieving the highest level of excellence, Dr. Berkowitz is the one. I am so grateful for him and would recommend him without hesitation.

Nearly three years ago, I had a mommy makeover (tummy tuck and breast lift with implant…read morereplacement), and choosing Dr. Maser at Reveal Plastic Surgery was one of the best decisions I've made. Before moving forward, I consulted with about half a dozen plastic surgeons across the Bay Area. Dr. Maser stood out immediately as the most knowledgeable, thoughtful, and honest. He wasn't trying to "sell" me anything. No add-ons, no unnecessary procedures--just a clear, thoughtful approach focused on what would actually deliver the best outcome for me. That alone was refreshing. From start to finish, the level of care from Dr. Maser, his nurse, and the entire office was exceptional. Every detail was handled, every question answered, and the follow-up was just as strong as the prep. The whole experience felt seamless and incredibly well run. And the results? Truly incredible. The kind where you quietly think, why didn't I do this sooner? I also want to call out the transparency and integrity of the practice. Other offices quoted extremely high prices and then followed up with repeated calls offering slight discounts to try to win my business. Reveal was the complete opposite--one fair, straightforward price from the start. No games, no gimmicks. I've continued to go back to Reveal for Botox and facial laser treatments with Hollie, and the experience has been consistently excellent. They never push treatments or try to oversell--everything is thoughtful, appropriate, and tailored. It's honestly refreshing. After my last treatment (just last Friday), they sent me home with a cooling face mask, a handheld fan and a cute hat--which honestly felt like the spa version of a mic drop. Such a fun, thoughtful touch. You leave every visit feeling confident, cared for, and like your best self, and I genuinely look forward to going back.

I have to share how happy I was throughout my experience with Dr. Jerome Liu and his team!…read more Dr. Liu is one of the kindest doctors I've ever met. After going through multiple consultations meeting other doctors he by far made me feel the most comfortable. I had a lot of nuances in my case and he carefully thought them through with me.

On top of all of that I am also very very happy with my results! You can tell he is a competent and talented doctor. Post surgery he and his team took amazing care of me.

Dr. Bates is an incredibly skilled and humble surgeon. After interviewing several surgeons locally…read moreand out of state, he was the only one who truly listened and ultimately delivered on all my requests. He's approachable, easy to talk to, and his work speaks for itself. In a single day, he performed a lower blepharoplasty, fat grafting to the face, chin liposuction, and a breast lift with a small reduction. Natural, tasteful results are totally possible for younger patients like me approaching 40. The combination of procedures complemented each other beautifully, giving me a refreshed, balanced look without anyone being able to pinpoint exactly why. Every post-op appointment felt smooth, and all my questions and concerns were addressed, which put me at ease. If you want refined, natural results and a surgeon who truly cares about delivering on your goals, Dr. Bates is the one to trust. Make suer to ask him to show my before-and-after results in the office. His fees are also very reasonable for the Bay Area.

He genuinely cares about his patients and with that, gave me the upmost confidence in him being my surgeon. At my consultation, I expressed to Dr. Bates the concerns I had regarding my nose: hump, frontal drooping of my nose, etc. He also noted changes that would compliment those adjustments, creating a symmetrical and natural canvas. What I respect the most is while he strives to achieve the patient's goal, he's realistic - he provides his professional opinion and feedback based on what suits your facial structure. It's a personalized experience and the morphs he created were spot on. At my pre-op appointment, he thoroughly went through what to expect on surgery day and recovery. He was clear, answered all my questions, and I never felt rushed. On the day of surgery, Dr. Bates made his presence known, making me feel at ease and reassuring me that everything will go well. Recovery was another defining experience as to why I knew Dr. Bates was the right choice. My swelling and bruising was minimal and manageable, which tells me he has a light and careful hand in surgery. What's even more surprising is that at my splint removal appointment today, I look identical to my morphs, which was refreshing considering many people have told me that they didn't with their surgeons. All in all, I can't recommend Dr. Bates enough.

This review is long overdue! First, I have to express my gratitude & respect for Dr. Lisa Hwang…read morefor her expertise, gentle care throughout the process, eye for details and is no doubt the whole package. I have been interested in a breast augmentation along with other breast changes for years as no matter what I did with my yo-yo weight loss journey my breasts remained to be a big concern. Last year, I was at a point of frustration with my breasts and pulled info for 2 surgeons. Two appointments were made with both surgeons and fortunately, the first appointment was scheduled with Dr. Lisa Hwang. I was nervous and anxious but I was ready for a change. After my initial consultation, Dr. Lisa Hwang who listened to my concerns/ wishes and answered all my many questions. She also presented all my options, reviewed the whole process step by step to post surgery recovery schedule and after conversing through it all, I felt confident I found my surgeon to do my boob job and scheduled surgery date a couple of weeks later. Surgery Day - I was ready! I was excited and had anxiety, too. Once Dr. Hwang walked into the room, I became calm and relieved where she started to outline my breasts for surgical prep. I had confidence in Dr Hwang's attention to detail and she truly understood what I wanted in the final results and executed it on point. Post Surgery - I will not lie that I was in discomfort, cried, struggled and hated most my restricted sleep position as part of the healing process but had to follow through on doctors instructions. Dr. Hwang was amazing. We were communicating daily via text and via the secure web platform where I uploaded breast pics, too. I felt I was in genuine care with Dr. Hwang and her responses were exactly what I needed - prompt, thoughtful, thorough and clear. I did experience a hiccup in the healing process for a breast a few weeks post surgery which is not uncommon and had to undergo a mini surgery to remedy the issue which was completed in her office. After this procedure, the healing went much more smoothly and without altering the breast aesthetic too much for it to be noticeable. It's 7 months post surgery and I'm so pleased with the final results and so is my longtime boyfriend, too! I'm so happy and in I love that my breasts have enhanced my body silhouette. I can see my waistline! If anyone is looking for a female surgeon with integrity, trustworthy, an expert and knowledgeable in her field and genuinely cares for her patience, Dr. Lisa Hwang is the doctor of choice. Dr. Hwang is a friend for life. Thank you so much, Dr. Lisa Hwang.

This review is related to communication and billing issues, and I will remove this review as soon as a someone from their team contacts me. If you call their clinic to address scheduling or billing issues you communicate with an AI. It took a few calls for me to actually get a person where I was quoted the cost of the session. I have Kaiser and was planning to pay out of pocket, and I wanted to ensure the appointment was within my budget. I was quoted $240. When I arrived for my appointment I confirmed the cost again with the front desk staff was $240. After the appointment I paid the $240 in full. This is a self pay session, so there should be no additional fees for a simple dermatology appointment. Now I am receiving bills for $360. I called their number and was able to get the AI to connect me with a representative at a call center in India, and he said the cost of the appointment was $600. I think originally what may have happened is that I was quoted the cash rate and charged the cash rate, but now I'm being charged the insurance rate in error. The representative I spoke with at the call center in India said the clinic would call me back. I have requested a call back multiple times, but no one from the clinic has called back and I continue to receive bills. I have spent a lot of time on this already. I'm worried this will end up going to collections if it is not resolved. I live 40 minutes away from the clinic and I don't want to have to drive all the way there in order to address this issue with an actual person that works there. If someone from the clinic would call me back so we can handle this billing issue then I will remove this review right away. I am only leaving this review because no one will call me back and I was quoted a rate that I paid in full at the appointment time, and now I'm getting additional bills.

After 12+ months of research and numerous internal conversations about whether or not to get…read moresurgery to correct my upper right eyelid I decided it was time to do so and I chose Dr. Rosenthal to perform the blepharoplasty. Why Dr. Rosenthal? For me it was a decision based three primary criteria. Connection, credentials, and reviews. I then met with or had conversations with the surgeons I believed might be a good fit for me. After these initial meetings I got the underwhelming sense that I was either not welcome or insignificant somehow. Although subtle, it felt potent. Connection: However, in Dr. Rosenthal's office, I felt validated as a person and after meeting her I felt assured that she would perform the procedure with precision like accuracy. After just ten minutes of talking with her I had no doubt in my mind that I would be in good hands. Credentials: Dr. Rosenthal completed her residency and chief residency in plastic surgery at Stanford University. She received her medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco. She holds a bachelor-of-arts degree with high honors from Brown University. In addition, she has completed fellowships in both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Dr. Rosenthal is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and has received many awards and accolades. Impressive! Reviews: Well, you can see them on Yelp for yourselves. There are a couple concerning reviews about communication with the front office. Despite these reviews my experience with the staff has only been warm and welcoming. The staff is extremely prompt and professional, in addition to kind and courtesy. I would not let these reviews be a deterrent from meeting with Dr. Rosenthal in person and having a discussion about what you want to achieve and how she can help support you. With the three criteria were met I decided to schedule the operation with Dr. Rosenthal. In terms of the logistics of the operation both leading up to and after the surgery, the staff and Dr. Rosenthal were very supportive and thorough about how I should prepare myself to be in the best possible condition for the operation and to heal after. All in all the surgery itself took about an hour and was painless (I was awake for the operation). Swelling was normal and stitches came out in a few days. Results? In all sincerity Dr. Rosenthal exceeded my expectations! Quick contextualizing story: I was in a car accident over a decade ago and my right upper eyelid was torn apart by glass from the shattered front windshield. It was sown back together quickly and didn't heal properly. It has been droopy ever since. It resembled a lazy eye, but with visible scar tissue. I would have been happy just to get the scar tissue and the bothersome extra skin removed from my upper right eyelid even if it didn't match my left eyelid. Dr. Rosenthal didn't just remove the scar tissue and extra skin causing the lazy eye, but she also made the eyelid symmetric to the other eyelid and it appears as it would naturally. The scar is hardly visible and virtually invisible when my eyes are open. The scar will eventually fade with time. I am beyond thankful Dr. Rosenthal did my surgery. I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. All the internal stress I caused myself being self-conscious about my eyelid has completely evaporated. I can look people in the eyes and listen to them fully without the internal chatter of insecurities running through my head about my eyelid, which may not seem like a big deal, but really is for me. I never thought having the surgery would make me a happier person with a new perspective on the importance of self-care. So... I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rosenthal!
