He was realistic and upfront about what limitations existed due to my facial anatomy, and what would be safe and flattering in the long term. I appreciate how personalized my consult felt, and that my surgical plan fit me rather than whatever nose is "trendy". Despite the significant changes made to my nose during my rhinoplasty, I didn't even bruise! I'm healing well, and I couldn't have asked for better results! I cannot stress enough how wonderful Dr. Ransom's team is. As someone who is usually a bit nervous with medical procedures, I really appreciate how empathetic and attentive his team is. Holly and Emily were very responsive and helpful with scheduling, notes, etc. Yesenia was amazing at answering all of my questions about my prescriptions and aftercare. Patricia is so kind, and I feel very grateful she was there for me pre/post-op. I would enthusiastically recommend Ransom M.D. to other rhinoplasty seekers!

My experience with Dr. Chang was fantastic from start to finish!…read more I had to wait 5 months for a consultation, but I'm so glad that I did. Dr. Chang listened carefully to my concerns and gave me her honest assessment of what she could and could not fix. I really appreciate this- she is very realistic and doesn't over promise on what she can do. It has been two months after my surgery and I'm already absolutely delighted with my results. It's such a relief to look in the mirror and not look like I'm exhausted every day. I have no doubt my face will look even better in the near future. Dr. Chang's staff members- Lisa, Niloo, Jerri, and Kellie- are all warm, inviting, and knowledgeable. It's always a pleasure to interact with them. I chose Dr. Chang not only because she's one of the best surgeons in San Francisco, but also because she's a woman in a field dominated by men. I'm so happy that I could support this team of kind, intelligent, and hard-working women. Thank you for giving me my confidence back!

For context, I received 3cc facial Renuva injections in Beverly Hills two years ago but that…read moresurgeon didn't numb my face and those injections were more painful than actual surgery. Fast forward to this year, I read that Dr. Rajagopal was the number one Renuva provider in the country and her website stated that numbing cream was used. I was terrified of more pain but hopeful that this experience would be less painful. At this office, numbing cream was literally applied to my face for 30 minutes and then ice was applied afterwards. Although the injections were still painful, they were much more tolerable. Dr. Rajagopal has a gentle hand, a kind demeanor, and good aesthetic sense. I've seen four other different plastic surgeons but Dr. Rajagopal has given me the most faith in doctors. I wish that I had known about her earlier. I would definitely come here for Renuva injections or other treatments as needed. They are not inexpensive at 2500 for 3 cc. Dr. Rajagopal clearly cares about people and their comfort. This is very important as any surgery or injection is a stressful experience so bedside manners and genuine concern is priceless. The only odd thing was that I was presented the bill during numbing by a staff member. Payment is expected after treatment and I knew the cost beforehand so it was strange to get the bill during the middle of the procedure and then after the procedure again. I would have been happy to pay in advance if they are worried about people leaving without paying. In any case, the office staff was nice. There was easy and free private parking provided. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Rajagopal for her keen aesthetic eye and caring demeanor.

She spent a full hour with me, not just discussing surgical goals, but really getting to know me - my life, my family, and what I was hoping for. I left that appointment genuinely moved. She and her team made me feel seen, supported, and completely at ease. It was a stark contrast to other consultations that felt rushed and impersonal, like I was just another patient on the schedule. Choosing Dr. Horton was an easy decision. That level of care carried through every step of the process, from pre-op to post-op. Dr. Horton is warm, approachable, and truly invested in her patients' happiness and outcomes. I'm absolutely thrilled with my results, and honestly, my only regret is not doing this sooner. I also want to give a special shoutout to the front desk and nursing staff. They consistently go above and beyond to make every visit feel welcoming and positive. I can't recommend Dr. Horton and her team highly enough.

You can tell from the first moment you meet her that she loves what she does and truly cares about her patients. The entire office staff is warm and encouraging, making you feel like family rather than just another patient.

She was genuinely compassionate while also being honest about what she thought would be most effective for addressing my concerns. The value of being able to stand, undressed, with a new person, and to talk with them about your body is such an intimate act - and Dr. Xu handled this with me with expertise and grace. She validated my progress and was encouraging about future potential. Dr. Xu was professional and caring in every encounter. The office staff is welcoming and encouraging and humorous. The space is lovely and feels comfortable. The most wonderful thing is ... the outcome of the surgery, the contouring specifically is truly beautiful. I feel like I have my own natural arm shape and it feels freeing and makes me so happy. Surgery comes with scars and they are a trade off for me. I love my arms so much, even with the scars, which are still young and will heal and fade further. Scar tape works incredibly well and is a very low cost resource I highly recommend. For me, Dr. Xu's personality, her skill set, and her eye for esthetics are simply incredible. It is also clear that the office team is trying to provide an experience for their clients to feel welcomed, held, cared about, and supported throughout the process, including into recovery. One thing I would prepare others for who are considering this option is that the surgery center and anesthesiologist were an expensive part of the overall package. While I trust and feel confident with Dr. Xu, there are other people who also support the surgery. The anesthesiologist was trying to put an iv in my foot, which was painful, before Dr. Xu arrived and advised him to put me under first. That seems like something the anesthesiologist, with all his years of experience, should have known to do himself. The surgery itself went beyond the estimated time and both the surgery center and anesthesiologist had additional fees, increasing the overall cost by ~2k. With that said, I do highly recommend Dr. Xu to others. Go meet her and her team and hear her thoughts and see if what she can offer will meet your needs.

Where to even begin? I LOVE Dr B and his office crew. Dr Bermudez is not only exceptionally skilled…read moreat his craft, his practice is run with an exceptional level of integrity andd transparency. He leans just a bit more conservative and natural in his aesthetic sensibilities vs that average already very conservative and natural approach in the Bay Area and he has a sculptors eye, in addition to being an excellent plastic surgeon he is also an artist and created all of the sculptures adorning his office! I met Dr B when my infant son needed earwells and the wait at UCSF was too long to get in within the recommended treatment window - little did I know what a stroke of luck this was for my family. I'd done my research ahead of time and watched countless videos of earwell treatment (a non surgical ear reshaping procedure for newborns) where a doctor just pops the mold on real quick so that was my expectation. Not Dr B, he took time consulting with me and assessing my son's ears and their symmetry, I think he sensed that I was a little nervous and he told me that he had done his own daughter's earwells which I found very comforting. Then I watched as he very carefully and precisely used the earwell components to sculpt and shape my son's ears into a perfect shape being careful that both sides would come out the same. The level of care and attention that Dr B gave to the procedure was like nothing I'd seen in all my research. Quality was top notch for sure but then his office worked their magic on the billing and I was able to get my son this treatment at no out of pocket cost which was an extremely pleasant surprise. I decided to see Dr Bermudez for injectables when I started noticing some issues that needed a careful eye and Dr B came through for me again. It wasn't my first time getting Botox but I'd never gotten this level of care or patient education. Dr B first talked with me about options for the issue I wanted to address including risks/benefits/long v short term cost - he followed my lead but offered his opinion when asked. Then he took a look at my face and walked me through his thinking as well as a cliffs notes in facial musculature and anatomy. I have never felt so comfortable. The injections were super easy too thanks to his super powerful numbing cream and the results are truly extraordinary. You pay more per unit with Dr B but it is so worth it. Most of my friends get Botox and even so they were shocked to learn that my refreshed look was thanks to the tox too. It just looks like my face reverse aged with none of the telltale frozen cheer mom look, IYKYK. I will never let anyone else touch my face with injectables again. Finally, when I first went to see Dr B I read his reviews and saw folks mentioning bringing their family members to Dr Bermudez and I admit I thought that was weird but then I brought a family member in because when you trust someone like I trust Dr B you just don't want your family going anywhere else. Anyways Dr Bermudez won over my family member with his bedside manner and talked them out of a cosmetic procedure they were considering (this guy is the real deal with the integrity). They ended up deciding to see him for injectables and got some great aesthetic and medical advice in their consult and walked away feeling confident in their next steps. Dr Bermudez and his team are the best.

The eye redness he noted was from something I did (false, I followed his post-op regimen) and he had no remedy for it . I sought outside opinions and most noted it was a bit excessive and to wait and if the eye redness didn't fade to then try to laser it with a laser specifically for red or get an injection 5fu to help the deep red scarring. The chest after a year still doesn't match and was told if I'm lucky the pigment may come back . He also took an additional Hour of OR time which cost me another $1000 at Hayes valley surgery center in SF. I've been told by several laser experts it should have taken less Then 1 hour if equipment and skill were correct. So as a retired OR nurse I've never spoke poorly of a surgeon but as they say there's a first for everything ! I'm hoping this saves others from the anguish and cost of a poorly done procedure ! Do your homework - I should have done more !
