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.

As a journalist, I've written at least 50 articles on plastic surgery, and got to know the work of top L.A. surgeons-- and Dr. Svehlak, in my opinion, is one of the very best. I've also been his patient for the last 15 years. He can do everything, from noses and eyes to breasts and body sculpting. Check out his web site, the before-and-after pics speak for themselves!

DO NOT CHOOSE THIS SURGEON IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO DO A RHINOPLASTY OR AN UPPER LIP LIFT!!! I am tremendously disappointed with my results. In fact, there is hardly any difference!! He performed both surgeries TWICE because first one was unsuccessful with hardly any results!! What a waste of money!!!! Not to mention all the time and stress this has caused me. Too bad this site doesn't provide a photo option for reviews. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY OR GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!!!
