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 I sit here, just one day post-op, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and happiness. My journey to a better body was marked by the exceptional care and attention of Dr. Dubrow and his incredible staff. From the moment I decided to undergo a tummy tuck, I knew I was in the best hands. Dr. Dubrow's reputation precedes him, but experiencing his care firsthand was beyond anything I could have imagined. His attention to detail and his genuine concern for my well-being made all the difference. Before the surgery, I was understandably nervous. Surgery is a big deal, and it's natural to have apprehensions. But Dr. Dubrow had a unique way of making me feel at ease. His cheerful demeanor and infectious laughter instantly lightened the atmosphere, turning my anxiety into excitement. He took the time to explain every detail of the procedure, answered all my questions, and never made me feel rushed. It was clear that he was not just a skilled surgeon, but also someone who genuinely cared about his patients' mental and emotional well-being. The staff at Dr. Dubrow's clinic were nothing short of amazing. From the receptionists to the nurses, everyone I interacted with was kind, compassionate, and incredibly professional. They went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable at every step of the process. On the day of the surgery, their warmth and reassurance were exactly what I needed to calm my nerves. One particular nurse stood out to me. She held my hand as I was being prepped for surgery, chatting with me about everything and nothing, just to keep my mind occupied and my spirits high. It's these little gestures that make a huge difference. Now, just one day after the surgery, I am amazed at how well I feel. The recovery process is just beginning, but I am already thrilled with the results and the care I continue to receive. Dr. Dubrow and his team have been in constant contact, checking on my progress and ensuring that I am comfortable and healing properly. I cannot express enough how thankful I am for the exceptional care I received. Dr. Dubrow's expertise, combined with his ability to make his patients feel genuinely cared for, created an experience that surpassed all my expectations. His staff mirrored his commitment to excellence, providing a seamless and supportive environment throughout my journey. If you are considering a tummy tuck or any other cosmetic procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Dubrow. His skill as a surgeon is matched only by his kindness and dedication to his patients. My experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and I couldn't be happier with how I was treated and how my body feels post-op. Thank you, Dr. Dubrow and team, for making this journey a positive and transformative one.

I would absolutely not recommend using this doctor for anything. He really messed up my rhinoplasty. It has collapsed completely on the right side and the left side is getting there. I voiced my concerns immediately after surgery and all the follow-ups. The standard answer was "give it time". It never healed correctly. I went to see him again recently to see what he would do about it - compensation, etc. He wouldn't even talk to me about it and referred me to the other doctor in his office (he doesn't even do rhinoplasties anymore) Wonder why! The doctor in his office wants to charge me $34,000 for a revision to fix something that Dubrow clearly botched. He doesn't care about your opinion and whether or not he did a good job. I had a facelift and blepharoplasty at the same time. Each had their complications which he just shook off. Visible scars where the stitches kept coming out - actually 4 times before they took. Do your homework! This doctor only cares about his TV show

Horrible customer service! I sent online inquires and emailed Dr. Dubrow's office numerous times regarding whether or not he does a particular procedure, but NO REPLY. Ever. Seeing all these reviews though, this clearly was a blessing in disguise!

If there was a way to give a ZERO star that is what I would give. I spent over $90,000 on several procedures. Seven hours in surgery, my incision line busted open in his recovery room. It's not like I was out playing tennis, I simply went from a 45 degree angle to a 90 degree angle, my back incision line dehisced/opened at least 5 inches. He had to be pulled off the show to come stitch me up bedside in recovery. His surgery center is so small there wasn't room to take me back to surgery. I had to endure horrific pain being sewed up bedside. Ran a fever that evening, day six I ended up in the ER with a 102 fever. Dr. Dubrow cleared me less than four hours later to fly back to Texas. Day 8 my inner thigh incision busted open. Long story short, two hospitalizations, 17 nights in the hospital, surgery to remove foreign objects left in me, I had an ESBL bacteria obtained in his surgery room, 21 days on IV meds, I almost died. I was botched by the botched doctor.

awful. don't sign all the paperwork and record your conversation, for he forgets things and makes you pay for it again. Absolutely the worst experience ever. Went in requesting something specific & was talked out of it since he's the "expert" and also told if I didn't like his results, that he'd correct it. So that's 26k initially and then another 16k to redo it the way I wanted it in the first place. Don't sign the paperwork and run for the hills. He gives OC a bad name.

I would NEVER recommend Dr. Dubrow to my worst enemy. He's nothing more than a money hungry, rude, phony excuse of a doctor. I should've known better than to go to an ACTOR. He does not care about patients - horrible bedside manner, he left me in pain, tears & distress several times. Left horrid scars that conveniently had to be revised numerous times on MY dime - many doctors have remarked that he BOTCHED my tummy tuck & breast reconstruction. Kim is just as bad as he is-HORRIBLE to patients

Total phony. This guy is a great television personality and a terrible doctor. Had to redo two surgeries he did. Left a hole below my right breast that required 4 months to heal. Made my flat stomach bumpy after a tummy tuck. After problems, he and staff avoids calls, emails or texts. It's all about the money and nothing about the patient. Did not follow up, ask how I was doing and when there were problems, promised to fix them, but then did not take any further communication. Horrible.
