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.

Eyelid surgery
The staff is amazing and the procedure was so easy. Dr Badran was so nice to his staff, he was professional, he was able to remove the excess skin from my eyelids in his office without general anestehesia. I can now wear makeup and my mascara doesn't smear all over! Thank you!

Artist rhinoplasty
Dr Badran is incredible. I had a septoplasty 20 years ago and my nose started falling and looking worse over the last 3 years. I found Dr Badran online and he and his team were incredible. From Susan at the front desk to the entire OR nursing team the process made me feel comfortable. My surgery was a success and people thought I looked YOUNGER after my beautiful rhinoplasty result. I owe him a new life and couldn't be happier. Thank you Dr Badran!!

Facial Paralysis after injury
I recently visited Dr. Badran for treatment of facial paralysis, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. From the very first appointment, Dr. Badran displayed exceptional professionalism and expertise, making me feel at ease during what was a very stressful time.Dr. Badran took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, the potential causes, and the available treatment options. I appreciated how patient and attentive they were, addressing all my questions with clarity and compassion.The treatment plan was carefully tailored to my specific needs, and I began noticing improvements after just a few sessions. What truly sets Dr. Badran apart is their dedication and genuine care for their patients.
