    I went to Dr. Maloney to consider getting a breast augmentation and it what a great decision it…read morewas. From the appointment, to the consult, to the surgery, everything was very smooth; this office deserves more than 5 stars. Maloney was incredibly thorough in reviewing my options, sizes and what the entire process would look like. I had seen some other doctors who let me tell them what I wanted instead of guiding me based on their experience. You see I was very apprehensive not to go to big but after reviewing the images and talking with him I trusted his expertise and boy am I grateful I did!! For the first time in my life I feel like my breasts match up with my body. As an avid gym enthusiast and athlete breasts are not something you can regulate but after just a couple weeks this is one of the best choices I have ever made for myself. Every member of his team matches his energy; offering a seamless and professional process. Their office is a reminder that customer service has not lost its game. To any woman or man seeking a cosmetic consultation I would without a doubt recommend Dr. Maloney and his team! You will not be disappointed.

    I've hesitated for weeks since my review is not among those…read moreraving about this surgeon. I'm really not one to complain, but my experience with this doctor has left me disappointed, disheartened, frustrated and angry. I had implants for years and was always happy with them but one started leaking saline. I went to Dr. Maloney as I felt they might need replacement. He did say he could replace them and when his assistant asked if he was going to do a lift (mastopexy)he said no. We went forward with the augmentation replacement and I regret doing it --it was 'after' the surgery he told me I would've been fine without replacement. I was furious I had spent thousands of dollars only to be told I really didn't have to. But that's not the end of it. The surgery he performed is pitiful and botched. The replacements nearly hang to my waist. I can't even wear the tops that I have. He should have never! performed this surgery without a lift or never performed it at all. I believe it was all about the money. Would never recommend this doctor to anyone. Keep looking, especially if you are an older woman.

    Dr. Duerksen is amazing. My elderly mother had ectropion eyelids that led to frequent eye…read moreinfections. Her opthalmologist contacted Dr. Duerksen to ask her to try to squeeze her in, and her office called me a day later to offer someone else's canceled slot the following week. In the interim, Dr. Duerksen already had contacted me directly to let me know that I could reach out to her with any questions about the procedure. Dr. Duerksen's office is comfortable and clean, and the staff is friendly. Yes, we had a bit of a wait past our appointment time to see her. But, Dr. Duerksen clearly takes her time with each patient. She built rapport, explained the procedure, made a facility recommendation (she uses more than one), and answered our questions. After mom got clearance from her primary care physician, we scheduled surgery for the next week. My mom got sick the day before surgery, so I contacted Dr. Duerksen's surgery scheduler, and she worked with me to get her back on the schedule. Right before the rescheduled surgery date, mom had another illness, and Dr. Duerksen's scheduler worked with me to get her back on the books again. Unfortunately, this illness progressed, and my mom passed before she could have the surgery. When I notified the office, the staff member I spoke to offered her sincere condolences. Then, three weeks later, right before mother's day, I received a handwritten note from Dr. Duerksen with her condolences and thoughts for me on my first Mother's Day without my mom. To her, patients and their families are more than a list of medical problems and medications. Her kindness to my elderly mother and me in all of our interactions, her team's flexibility in getting my mom scheduled/rescheduled, and her kindness/empathy after my mom passed speak to this.

    I didnt get a correct answer about anything from the staff. The amount of time i would need to take…read moreoff work, the time to be at the hospital, the estimate cost of the surgery was off by two thousand dollars. After the surgery they called to collect on a bill I had paid almost 2 months earlier. The eye surgery was fine but I would go somewhere else. There were too many mistakes by her staff.

This time I felt every bit as pampered as that first time. She & her entire staff are the BEST! After careful consideration, I opted for the no-anesthesia procedure which uses local pain blocks & nitrous oxide rather than being put completely under. I know it sounds scary, but I experienced only a bit of occasional discomfort & likely snoozed through a lot of my brow lift & lateral facelift. It's nearly 3 months now since surgery, and I can hardly believe how GOOD my face looks!! Seriously, I haven't looked this happy (!) since I don't know when, and oh my gosh, my grandma isn't looking back at me from the mirror anymore! I LOVE Maxwell Aesthetics!!

Sarah truly listens to what I want and always makes sure the results look natural and amazing. If you're considering any injectables, I highly recommend booking with Sarah. The entire office is wonderful, from the moment you walk in, Vanessa greets you with a big, welcoming smile, and the rest of the staff is just as kind and professional. It's always a great experience. Definitely check them out!

    I had a breast reduction with an abdominoplasty and 360 liposuction completed in Sept. 2025. From…read morethe consultation and including every interaction to follow, Dr. Rao was very kind, professional, informative and patient with any questions I had. This level of professionalism was also seen while interacting with his office staff, including Patricia, Summer and Este! Communication from front desk, the office manager and Dr. Rao himself is exceptional! My results are incredible! I never could have imagined my "mommy make-over" looking this GOOD! Even with a history of breastfeeding two kids, my breasts are perky and the perfect size! Incisions are barely visible on my breasts and around the nipple. My abdominal scar is more noticeable but can be completely hidden beneath underwear or a swimsuit. I will continue to use scar tape to help the color fade over time. I went from a size 14 in jeans to a size 8. My belly went from fupa to flat and the 360 lipo helped create perfect curves! As expected, the first week involved lots of resting and small movements (with the help of my cheese pillow and a walker). Pain was manageable with RX pain meds in the beginning and then strictly Tylenol through week 4. Post-surgery, Dr. Rao would call and check in with my husband and I to be sure things were on track and I was recovering well. I am entering week 14 and my healing process continues to be going great! I had one small tear at the "T" point beneath my right breast. Dr. Rao monitored the area closely, coached me in how to change the dressing, answered all my questions and assured me it would close without needing additional sutures. All of this was true, the tear closed weeks ago, there was never any pain associated with it and there is zero additional scarring in the area. Aside from being a very common place for a tear due to pressure, I have small children and am very active. I think this may have played a role in creating the tear. I am ecstatic about my results and I am so grateful I chose Dr. Rao as my surgeon! I would recommend him and his staff over and over to others. Dr. Rao's office will be my go-to for any future procedures.

    My husband picked out Dr. Rao after working with him at a local hospital. My husband works with…read morehundreds of different physicians in the community from every specialty everyday. When I told my husband that I wanted a mommy make over he did not hesitate to contact Dr. Rao. He told me he is that best, and rest assured he is. I had my breast augmentation done over a month ago, and my results were amazing. He takes time to listen to your concerns and address all of your issues. Most of of all, he isn't reckless. If he doesn't think your implants will fit your body, he will let you know. My best friend thought my boobs were so fantastic, she saw Dr Rao and had a breast augmentation as well. Highly recommended.

He removed the hanging skin but before my surgery, he did not mark me or anything. I mentioned that i did not like my "dog ears" and he said, "well you look better than you did before!" and then scheduled me for a check up 4 months later. I scheduled an appointment for him to fix my dog ears ASAP! My incision scar is THICK and horrible and my belly button is right through a stretch mark. I wish I did more research and went to a REAL plastic surgeon. I will be going else where to have my stomach fixed, wish I could get my money back. I am currently 6MPO and I absolutely HATE my results.. My front sides still hangs over and i can pull at a lot of skin, above my belly button is still loose and i look pregnant because i did NOT receive muscle repair. Nothing can be fixed because I have posted negative HONEST reviews online. Oh well, I will go to someone with more experience on tummy tucks and revision!

He made a large ridge, scar, around my eye. I now was supposed to go back for another surgery, this time up thru my nose. After being cleared by my primary Dr. and an ENT Dr., I was set up for my surgery on the 28th. I went to. Joseph Hospital, went thru the registration and was sitting in the waiting room waiting for the nurse to take me back. My phone rang and it was Dryden's office and she told me that he had canceled my surgery. I went out to my car and decided to call back and ask for a reason for the cancellation. The receptionist at Dryden's office said it was due to"the covid". I explained that I had been cleared. She said she would call the Dr and get back to me. After a long wait and no call back I made the call and was told that the Dr. put me back on the schedule. I then went back into the Hospital and went up to the surgery lounge. The receptionist looked at her papers and told me it was cancelled. I told her the Dr. had rescheduled. She contacted the nurse for pre-surgery and she came out and told me she had just spoken with the Dr and he was not going to do my surgery. We live in Hereford,AZ which is a 2 hr drive. We of course got a hotel for 2 nights since we had to be there for a checkup. That cost was $220.00 . So, I made a 2hr drive, got a 2 day stay in motel and NO surgery. The Dr.(?) certainly could have and should have called prior to my trip there since he knew he was not going to do my surgery. If there even was a covid issue, there wasn't, he could have called and ordered a "rapid" test. This Dr.(?) needs to be brought up on total incompetency charges. I would like to see this happen.

His office staff are always welcoming and supportive, answering every question I have with patience and understanding. Walking into Tucson Plastic Surgery, all patients are greeted and treated like special guests that deserve the world and more! Thank you to everyone at Tucson, Plastic Surgery for the love, support, and care!

Dr. Mahabir performed my double mastectomy with direct implants flawlessly and provided exceptional care, especially during such a vulnerable time so close to finishing chemotherapy. He genuinely cares about you as a person, is very honest through the entire process, and his confidence provides a place of assurance and trust. Later, both Dr. Mahabir and Dr. Kurtović performed my DIEP flap reconstruction, and the entire process went beautifully. Dr. Kurtovic cares for her patients on the deepest levels possible- from the impeccable physical care, to the emotional, theraputic, and energy body healing. They are simply experts at what they do, and choose to always go above and beyond. As a team, there is no greater gift to the community they serve. What makes this team so special is that they care about so much more than the surgical outcome. They truly understand the emotional and physical journey of reconnecting with your body and healing, especially after cancer. They pay attention to every single detail, listen deeply to every concern, and make you feel seen, heard, and beautiful through every stage of the process. Their care is genuine, and you can feel how deeply invested they are in each patient's healing. Beyond their work in the operating room, their commitment to the breast cancer community is extraordinary. Through their Reblossom charity, which they run together, they provide incredible opportunities, support, and resources for people facing breast cancer. Their dedication to giving back and creating meaningful connections for survivors and those still in treatment speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. Their office itself reflects that same level of care: it is comforting, impeccably clean, beautiful, and truly feels like a healing space. The moment you walk in, you are greeted by friendly smiles and incredible staff members that genuinely care. From the environment they've created to the way they treat you, everything feels intentional and supportive. I also have to mention Virginia, the patient care coordinator, who is absolutely exceptional. She made every step feel organized, incredibly personal, and made me feel supported, loved, and cherished. This entire team has given me so much more than excellent surgical results- they gave me confidence, comfort, and a path back to myself after cancer. I will forever be grateful!
