    Dr.Creasman did a great job with my eyes. I was having some excess skin on one side over my eyelid and he gave me a twilight anesthesia. he made me look really good. About 28 years ago, he did a breast augmentation and that lasted me nearly 27 years Bravo very well done I had no problems and my nipples were perkfect. Both came out the same size. I really appreciate his work. (As I have had more experiences through the years with other doctors that were not quite as good.) I highly suggest him. I do feel like a valued patient here.

    I've seen Lauryn for now my 2nd chemical peel and have been loving the results. After my first peel she got me on a skincare routine, I've gotten SO many compliments on my skin and seen such a difference. The peeling can be scary to look at but it's worth it! I also moved out of the area and fly back JUST FOR LAURYN.

    If you're a lazy girl with makeup like me and just want your face to look good without any makeup, GO SEE RACHEL. She's like Picasso except she uses needles instead of a paintbrushes. She also used to be an icu nurse for babies so for someone who is a giant baby like me when it comes to pain, she has the system down and really goes above and beyond to make the experience as comfortable as possible. She also does my Botox and laser treatments and ngl I am obsessed with all the results she delivers. My skin looks 10 years younger and my pores are invisible. She keeps it natural not-natural if you know what I mean so the results look real af. Love her! Now let's discuss Jess. If you're looking for a hydra-facial... look no further. I hate when people use the products sparingly for this treatment like yo it's an expensive facial... Jess is VERY generous and delivers what you paid for. I've tried so many options from SF to SJ and she's better than every option by an order of magnitude of 1000. I also get derma planing from her and she's a master. Hands as steady as a brain surgeon! Feels like hitting the jackpot that these two both work in one office.

    With a week before leaving for our wedding and vacation, I was able to snag an appointment for Botox. I've been to the original and new Palo Alto facilities, however this is my first time in the new South Bay location. Stunning! This office is absolutely gorgeous. You walk in to a very modern, yet cozy environment and are greeted by very friendly front desk staff. I was quickly checked in and brought back to see Molly. Molly has done my Botox for about 7 years now - I might not be super consistent, but I'm loyal to her. She is a master injector and a great person. She will go over what results you are looking for, make her suggestions and you will feel confident with the results. So happy I was able to get an appointment!!

Hollie is always a sweet, warm presence to be around and she is a wonderful listener and very compassionate. I would definitely recommend Hollie for her expertise as well, as she has done a wonderful job with my treatments.

    Nearly three years ago, I had a mommy makeover (tummy tuck and breast lift with implant…read morereplacement), and choosing Dr. Maser at Reveal Plastic Surgery was one of the best decisions I've made. Before moving forward, I consulted with about half a dozen plastic surgeons across the Bay Area. Dr. Maser stood out immediately as the most knowledgeable, thoughtful, and honest. He wasn't trying to "sell" me anything. No add-ons, no unnecessary procedures--just a clear, thoughtful approach focused on what would actually deliver the best outcome for me. That alone was refreshing. From start to finish, the level of care from Dr. Maser, his nurse, and the entire office was exceptional. Every detail was handled, every question answered, and the follow-up was just as strong as the prep. The whole experience felt seamless and incredibly well run. And the results? Truly incredible. The kind where you quietly think, why didn't I do this sooner? I also want to call out the transparency and integrity of the practice. Other offices quoted extremely high prices and then followed up with repeated calls offering slight discounts to try to win my business. Reveal was the complete opposite--one fair, straightforward price from the start. No games, no gimmicks. I've continued to go back to Reveal for Botox and facial laser treatments with Hollie, and the experience has been consistently excellent. They never push treatments or try to oversell--everything is thoughtful, appropriate, and tailored. It's honestly refreshing. After my last treatment (just last Friday), they sent me home with a cooling face mask, a handheld fan and a cute hat--which honestly felt like the spa version of a mic drop. Such a fun, thoughtful touch. You leave every visit feeling confident, cared for, and like your best self, and I genuinely look forward to going back.

    This review is long overdue! First, I have to express my gratitude & respect for Dr. Lisa Hwang…read morefor her expertise, gentle care throughout the process, eye for details and is no doubt the whole package. I have been interested in a breast augmentation along with other breast changes for years as no matter what I did with my yo-yo weight loss journey my breasts remained to be a big concern. Last year, I was at a point of frustration with my breasts and pulled info for 2 surgeons. Two appointments were made with both surgeons and fortunately, the first appointment was scheduled with Dr. Lisa Hwang. I was nervous and anxious but I was ready for a change. After my initial consultation, Dr. Lisa Hwang who listened to my concerns/ wishes and answered all my many questions. She also presented all my options, reviewed the whole process step by step to post surgery recovery schedule and after conversing through it all, I felt confident I found my surgeon to do my boob job and scheduled surgery date a couple of weeks later. Surgery Day - I was ready! I was excited and had anxiety, too. Once Dr. Hwang walked into the room, I became calm and relieved where she started to outline my breasts for surgical prep. I had confidence in Dr Hwang's attention to detail and she truly understood what I wanted in the final results and executed it on point. Post Surgery - I will not lie that I was in discomfort, cried, struggled and hated most my restricted sleep position as part of the healing process but had to follow through on doctors instructions. Dr. Hwang was amazing. We were communicating daily via text and via the secure web platform where I uploaded breast pics, too. I felt I was in genuine care with Dr. Hwang and her responses were exactly what I needed - prompt, thoughtful, thorough and clear. I did experience a hiccup in the healing process for a breast a few weeks post surgery which is not uncommon and had to undergo a mini surgery to remedy the issue which was completed in her office. After this procedure, the healing went much more smoothly and without altering the breast aesthetic too much for it to be noticeable. It's 7 months post surgery and I'm so pleased with the final results and so is my longtime boyfriend, too! I'm so happy and in I love that my breasts have enhanced my body silhouette. I can see my waistline! If anyone is looking for a female surgeon with integrity, trustworthy, an expert and knowledgeable in her field and genuinely cares for her patience, Dr. Lisa Hwang is the doctor of choice. Dr. Hwang is a friend for life. Thank you so much, Dr. Lisa Hwang.

    I had an excellent experience with Dr. Hwang. From the very first consultation, I felt heard,…read morerespected, and genuinely cared for. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, which made me feel confident and comfortable moving forward. The surgeon is incredibly skilled, professional, and detail-oriented. My results look natural and exceeded my expectations. The care didn't stop after surgery either -- follow-up appointments were attentive, and any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly and kindly. I would highly recommend Dr. Hwang to anyone considering a breast augmentation. You're truly in expert hands here.

This review is related to communication and billing issues, and I will remove this review as soon as a someone from their team contacts me. If you call their clinic to address scheduling or billing issues you communicate with an AI. It took a few calls for me to actually get a person where I was quoted the cost of the session. I have Kaiser and was planning to pay out of pocket, and I wanted to ensure the appointment was within my budget. I was quoted $240. When I arrived for my appointment I confirmed the cost again with the front desk staff was $240. After the appointment I paid the $240 in full. This is a self pay session, so there should be no additional fees for a simple dermatology appointment. Now I am receiving bills for $360. I called their number and was able to get the AI to connect me with a representative at a call center in India, and he said the cost of the appointment was $600. I think originally what may have happened is that I was quoted the cash rate and charged the cash rate, but now I'm being charged the insurance rate in error. The representative I spoke with at the call center in India said the clinic would call me back. I have requested a call back multiple times, but no one from the clinic has called back and I continue to receive bills. I have spent a lot of time on this already. I'm worried this will end up going to collections if it is not resolved. I live 40 minutes away from the clinic and I don't want to have to drive all the way there in order to address this issue with an actual person that works there. If someone from the clinic would call me back so we can handle this billing issue then I will remove this review right away. I am only leaving this review because no one will call me back and I was quoted a rate that I paid in full at the appointment time, and now I'm getting additional bills. Please call me back at 831-428-5785.

Why Dr. Rosenthal? For me it was a decision based three primary criteria. Connection, credentials, and reviews. I then met with or had conversations with the surgeons I believed might be a good fit for me. After these initial meetings I got the underwhelming sense that I was either not welcome or insignificant somehow. Although subtle, it felt potent. Connection: However, in Dr. Rosenthal's office, I felt validated as a person and after meeting her I felt assured that she would perform the procedure with precision like accuracy. After just ten minutes of talking with her I had no doubt in my mind that I would be in good hands. Credentials: Dr. Rosenthal completed her residency and chief residency in plastic surgery at Stanford University. She received her medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco. She holds a bachelor-of-arts degree with high honors from Brown University. In addition, she has completed fellowships in both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Dr. Rosenthal is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and has received many awards and accolades. Impressive! Reviews: Well, you can see them on Yelp for yourselves. There are a couple concerning reviews about communication with the front office. Despite these reviews my experience with the staff has only been warm and welcoming. The staff is extremely prompt and professional, in addition to kind and courtesy. I would not let these reviews be a deterrent from meeting with Dr. Rosenthal in person and having a discussion about what you want to achieve and how she can help support you. With the three criteria were met I decided to schedule the operation with Dr. Rosenthal. In terms of the logistics of the operation both leading up to and after the surgery, the staff and Dr. Rosenthal were very supportive and thorough about how I should prepare myself to be in the best possible condition for the operation and to heal after. All in all the surgery itself took about an hour and was painless (I was awake for the operation). Swelling was normal and stitches came out in a few days. Results? In all sincerity Dr. Rosenthal exceeded my expectations! Quick contextualizing story: I was in a car accident over a decade ago and my right upper eyelid was torn apart by glass from the shattered front windshield. It was sown back together quickly and didn't heal properly. It has been droopy ever since. It resembled a lazy eye, but with visible scar tissue. I would have been happy just to get the scar tissue and the bothersome extra skin removed from my upper right eyelid even if it didn't match my left eyelid. Dr. Rosenthal didn't just remove the scar tissue and extra skin causing the lazy eye, but she also made the eyelid symmetric to the other eyelid and it appears as it would naturally. The scar is hardly visible and virtually invisible when my eyes are open. The scar will eventually fade with time. I am beyond thankful Dr. Rosenthal did my surgery. I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. All the internal stress I caused myself being self-conscious about my eyelid has completely evaporated. I can look people in the eyes and listen to them fully without the internal chatter of insecurities running through my head about my eyelid, which may not seem like a big deal, but really is for me. I never thought having the surgery would make me a happier person with a new perspective on the importance of self-care. So... I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rosenthal!
