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.

Horrible Experience
Dr. Salas gave me the worst possible plastic surgery experience. He is very unskilled and has no standard common sense of a basic doctor. The surgical center is very unsanitary. He has traumatized me in a huge way. I hope that I can find the strength to physically and mentally recover with the help of the higher powers. I wish I never met and found him and his fake office staff. PLEASE BEWARE!

Did an excellent job reconstructing a torn pectoral muscle and then performing a high profile/high definition breast augmentation. Dr. Salas is an awesome individual and glad I trusted him with my spouse.

Dr. Salas was the 5th consult I went on for my mommy makeover. I just wish I would have met him sooner! He took his time with me, answered all my many questions and made me feel super confident with moving forward with him. He did many different measurements ( other doctors didnt do any), explained the procedures in great detail and gave me a few options. He truly is a master of his craft! I'm extreamely happy with my results and have referred a couple friends to him that chose to move forward with their surgery, we are all ecstatic and highly recommend him! It makes a big difference with your results when the surgeon truly love what he does! I love Dr. Salas and know you will too! T. Stewart

After having done many research and visits to different doctors and places. There is no doubt that I chose the best place, on the first visit, I was convinced that Dr. Salas was the best option. He is patient, kind person, without hurry he answered each of the questions I had. I am very happy with the results of my mommymakeover just in one week ?? Another important thing, he keeps in touch with his patients all the time. Happy!!

Dr. Salas is the BEST at what he does. Outside of being a doctor he is caring and passionate about his patients. He is truthful and concerned about your wants and he will make your wants and dream body reality. I love the fact that i have no major scares from my breast reduction and lift. Only if i tell you where the tiny scare is will you be able to identify what looks like a scratch. I have gotten so many compliments for the work and scares. Dr. Salas is very open about your "What if" concerns my huaband had many queations and all of them were answered. However the best statement that Dr salas said to my husbamd and i was: Every one has a mother and in that family tree there are many loved ones and i will not do any procedures on any one that i would not do on my own family member(s). I have never had a doctor feel that strong and passionate about their patients. Not only is Dr Salas the BEST his Staff is outstanding. If you are looking to have any cosmetic surgery look NO FURTHER.

Dr Salas, Amazing work, thank you. I am complimented everywhere I go. The biggest complement is from my mirror. Dr Salas was an exceptional communicator, he took the time and had patience with my anxiety, to explain the what procedure would produce the desired results for my body type, and why. Always professional and went above and beyond any of my other consults. Since my surgery, have been back for other procedures and will not go anywhere else. Thank you again Dr Salas.

Doctor Salas did a great job! The team has been available from day one through the entire process. Dr Salas has an aesthetic vision of what he does and is able to look at the bigger picture, differently than many other Surgeons who only work on the specific area required. I would highly recommend Salas Plastic Surgery!

I first met Dr. Salas back in Feb 2017 and was automatically impressed on how personable, professional and caring he was. I met with about 10 other plastic surgeons and Dr. Salas was the only one to recommend that I lose weight. . So far I’m a month in and my results look amazing! His attention throughout my recovery has been exceptional! I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Salas to anyone looking for quality work and care. His staff is not far behind in professionalism, care & overall genuine people.

My experience with Dr. Salas has been amazing. I had a procedure done recently and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The recovery has been better than expected. Dr. Salas is very professional, talented, good plastic surgeon. I was extremely scared but he guided me through all the process, since the initial consultation through the day of surgery and made me feel calmed and confident. His staff is also amazing. His work is excellent and I definitely recommend Dr. Salas.

I got my lips injected recently with him & felt so comfortable getting the procedure done. He was informative and guided me in the right way to get the look I was aiming for. He was the first plastic surgeon I tried & feel no need to continue looking! Him and his staff are so professional but at the same time made me feel at ease. Scheduling an appointment with him is also extremly convenient.

Dr Salas and his staff were excellent from the initial consultation, to the surgery day and all the way through post op! Dr. Salas was very thorough on his explanation of the procedures I requested and I felt very at ease to move forward with his direction. During surgery day, he was very comforting and attentive to my needs. If you're looking for a doctor with amazing results and the one on one personal care, you have found it at Salas Plastic Surgery! I highly recommend!

I reccomend to use Dr. Salas with plastic surgery highly, I got a breast augmentation for the first time and loved the consultation that was very informative with information prior to the surgery. Pre-Op I was a little scared going into surgery and Dr. Salas was very caring wnd reassured me I would be ok. Post op was very smooth because of how caring Salas was. My breast implants turned out great and I reccomend all of my friends and family to him.

Dr Salas is an excellent surgeon as well as a great person. I had an abdominoplasty 6 months ago and am extremely happy with the results. He is a perfectionist and it shows in my results-he takes the time to go the extra mile and do things the right way. Dr Salas spent considerable time with me pre and post op and always made me feel like I was a priority and not just another patient. His staff and office are top notch and very welcoming. I would definitely highly recommend Dr Salas!
