Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Professional and Kind Team
I have been working with Dr. Burns team the past 3 months and my experience has been excellent. Treatment times are punctual, everything is explained well both verbally and on paper, technician is intelligent and highly trained , and the entire staff is courteous and caring. I'm already loving the positive results I'm seeing.

Meticulous and caring
I have gone to Dr. Burns for two cosmetic procedures. He is an excellent surgeon with a great bedside manner, and he shows true care for his patients. He addresses all questions and follows up after procedures to make sure everything he has done has met expectations.

Quality, Integrity, Confidence & Kindness
Confidence and kindness coupled with exceptional quality and integrity are found in few places. Each encounter I’ve had with RSMD—reception, aesthetician, nurse or doctor— exude all those amazing substances of good character. I have greatly benefited from surgery, laser and light treatments, products and counseling on skin care. I love referring family & friends, even giving services & products as gifts because the team @ RSMD is trustworthy.

EXCEPTIONAL CARE
EXCEPTIONAL from start to finish! I was extremely impressed with Lauren Leid, a Certified Advanced Aesthetician (CAE). Lauren is professional, courteous, and competent. She fully prepared me for what to expect with my Halo procedure, walked through it step-by-step, and provided excellent after-care instructions, which resulted in very little down time. The team is very accommodating and kind. The added amenities of complimentary valet parking and a pre-procedure massage chair were icing on the cake.If you want high-quality service from a caring and compassionate team, this is the place for you.

Dr Burns is a truly gifted surgeon. He has an artistic eye for natural looking results. Never over done. Just a beautiful and refreshed looking "you". I had an eyebrow lift along with an upper blephoraplasty. I was amazed at my results. He is very honest and straight forward with you. But never pushy. I will be back to Dr Burns in the future for a lower facelift

Dr. Burns and his staff are excellent! We bought our daughter to him to have a Port Wine Stain treated. The procedure was explained fully and expectations were laid out clearly. We were in and out of the hospital each time in just a couple of hours and someone always followed up the next day to make sure we were doing okay. We will be seeing Dr. Burns in the future!

I did a lot of research before my consultation with Dr. Jay Burns. After we talked I knew he was the one to do my surgery. His compassion and true concern for the welfare of his patients is unparalleled. I have recommended him to several friends that have also had "work" done. Everybody just loves their results.

The care was good, but the result was NOT good. I was left with a drooping right corner of my mouth (he touched a nerve he shouldn't have) and my right cheek has a deep dent in it after my facelift. When we could see that my cheek was never going to fill out, Dr. Burns performed a fat injection procedure which also did not work. He also offered to inject filler as often as needed, but I was required to go to a clinic in Dallas, which I could not do forever. I am left with a deformed face.

I have undergone one surgery under his gifted hands and it's already been 7 months since, and I have amazing, beautiful results. I trust him and would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Burns performed my surgery over three years ago and I am still getting compliments. He did a neck, chin, upper and lower eyelids and brow lift on me and I am very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Burns and his staff to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. He truly cares about his patients and his staff is wonderful.

Dr. Burns is an amazing surgeon: my results were beyond what I expected. My friends are all jealous of my new looks (face lift)! I have recommended him to friends and family and will continue to do so! I also chose him to do my breast augmentation of which I am extremely pleased. Dr. Burns is an intuitive surgeon with a great eye for symmetry and aesthetics of the face.

Dr. Burns performed a tummy tuck on me 3 years ago, and it still looks great. I had gone through 3 c-sections and had a flabby pouch below my belly button. He did an awesome job and assured me that he was my doctor regarding that procedure forever, and that I could come back anytime if I experienced trouble. His entire staff is a delight, and they all make you feel very comfortable.

Dr. Jay Burns is amazing and his staff is outstanding. He gave me free advise when I have a parotid tumor and even took time to speak with my Oncologist. Because of his reputation and the free advice when I was ready for a brow lift - Dr. Burns was my choice. I recently had a new face lift procedure. I had no pain and the swelling went away within the first 1 - 2 weeks. I am amazed by the results. I highly recommend Dr. Burns and his staff. I trust him 100%!
