I can't say enough good things about Dr. Chow. He is an expert at his craft, he is honest, and explains things thoroughly. He made me feel comfortable and at ease. Dr Chow is a true professional. If you are looking for someone you can trust and desire natural looking results then this is who you should see. The best thing is that no one will be able to tell you had a little help looking younger! read more

Excellent service all-around. Office is very nice and calming; never rushed and never left waiting like other doctors. All the staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. Dr Chow is excellent, explaining everything positive & negative so a sound decision can be made me! Never ever have I felt pressure or talked into anything like some other doctor's do. I would and have recommended Dr Chow numerous times, and I have always heard positive feedback. Thank you Dr Chow and the entire office! read more

pros, he is honest. he is conservative and thinks for you. he is with humanitarianism... not a cold-blood surgery doctor! His assistants are also nice persons! He is smart at school, that is important to be a cosmetic surgery doctor, but not the most important thing, or not the whole thing...... Doctor Chow focuses on face cosmetic surgery, and he has a lot of ideal after-surgery pictures of rhinoplasty... I don't think he is really good at asian cosmetic surgery . But in fair, I search a lot in los angeles, i don't really find an asian doctor good at asian cosmetic surgery. hi everybody, let's go back to taiwan or korea hahaha~! And remember, I hear that he is especially good at facial lift surgery. their boss is doctor sun. you can try to see him also. But I think Doctor Jen Chow is more handsome haha ,and not cold-blood, not 2-face hypocrites! (I need to say, there're a lot of cold-blood surgery doctors and two-face hypocrites cosmetic business men in LA! ) read more

Dr.Chow and his staff are very comforting and professional! I had been to other plastic surgeons before but never got the service, low rate and amazing natural work that Dr. Chow performs. When I got my work done nobody could tell what was done but knew something looked fresh and great. Thank you so much! read more

Dr. Chow and his staff are the only people I trust with anything that has to do with my face, be it plastic surgery or a sinus infection. I turn to Dr. Chow's office for all other recommendations for other specialty doctors as well, if Dr. Chow trust them that's enough for me. I honestly did at least 4 months of research before selecting Dr. Chow to preform my surgery. He let me call, come in or email anytime I had a question or was just feeling anxious about my upcoming surgery. I went to 3 other plastic surgeons in the area and I found Dr. Chow to be the most thorough and comforting. I love my results, I recommend him to everyone... I will forever only go to him... Trust me, I did all the research on facial plastic surgeons for everyone.... DR. CHOW IS THE BEST.... read more

I recently went for a rhinoplasty consultation with Dr Chow and let me tell you he made me feel very comfortable, was patient with me and explained the process. The staff was very helpful as well, when I walked in I was greeted by the front desk Jessica, she was very sweet and welcoming and offered me refreshments. After my consultation Diana spoke with me and was so helpful and nice in providing me pricing. Once I am ready i will be scheduling my surgery date! read more

I absolutely love Anita the esthetician here at Dr. Chow's office. She is so nice and goes far out of her way to ensure you are happy with the results of the procedures offered. I wasn't happy with the results of a chemical peel I received at Dr. Chow's office, mainly because I didn't understand my skin and did not wait long enough to understand the results before jumping the gun, and Anita saw me twice since then trying to help my skin in whatever way possible, and even gave me a free facial. :) She is so sweet and patient I would definitely recommend her for your skin needs! read more

This review is way overdue. The doctor and Cassandra were very thorough and attentive before, during, and after I had my procedure done at the office. I had 2 moles removed off my face. One of them was about an inch away from my left eye and the other was right at the arch of my left eyebrow. I knew the risks of getting the mole removed from eyebrow. It would obviously leave a scar on it and I'd be without hair on that area of my eyebrow. I am very sad that I do not have a little bit of hair there, but I do try and fill it in with makeup. Nobody could ever tell that I had it done until I point it out to them. As for the the one by my eye, I wish it could look better because it looks like something is there. During the procedure, I did not feel a thing. The doctor is very gentle and caring. He will answer any questions and concerns. Thank you! read more

The doctor is ok but the receptionist is a little rude. I always felt like I got a slight disdainful vibe from her every time I called, but I was like whatever, I am here to work on my face, not make friends. read more

Dr. Chow deserves five stars. It is hard to find a Doctor that looks out for your best interests and doesn't try to push their agenda and sometimes unnecessary treatments on you. Each time I visit him I am pleased with not only the treatment I receive but also the personal touch and kindness he provides. My skin glows and it has never looked better. I am often mistaken for the younger sister, even though I am the oldest! Dr. Chow, more like Dr. Wow! read more

If you're looking for a compassionate doctor that will guarantee the result you want, Dr. Chow is the perfect choice. I went in for a deviated septum and before mentioning surgery, he gave me an alternative choice, a nasal spray. Unfortunately, it did not completely fix my issue, so I decided to get a septoplasty and rhinoplasty. During the consultation, I told him what I wanted to do with my nose, and he looked at my features and recommended the best shape for my face. Honestly, his work is amazing it more than a procedure, it's quite literally art! He went through everything I needed to know and there's not one thing he forgot to tell me about. I knew exactly what was going to happen, the good and rough parts of the procedure. Right before surgery, I was extremely nervous but he came in right before and told me a little tip to calm down and was cracking jokes. Also, all the other nurses and doctors that helped him during the procedure were so caring! When I got home from the procedure, I immediately got a call from Dr. Chow checking on me. He is one of the best doctors I have ever met, he is so compassionate and makes you feel special. For one week after surgery I had to go in so they could take the cast off etc., then I went back a month later, and i'm waiting for the sixth month point to see him again. Now I can finally breathe out of my nose, and it has a cute shape that looks super natural and makes me feel so confidant. I really can't thank Dr. Chow enough but when your deciding which doctor is best for you just know that choice is Dr. Chow. read more

Dr. Chow is everything you want your plastic surgeon to be. He is cautious, honest, and caring. He considered my profession in ultimately deciding what was best for me and he was right. I had a complex reconstruction and he handled the issue with precision and ease. I can only imagine what great work he could do for someone without the added burden of reconstruction. I am overly pleased with my results and recommend him to everyone. I even sent my mom to him and trust that he will take great care of her. There is no need to travel to the West Side or out of state. Dr. Chow is easy to access, his office is clean and relaxing and he and his staff made my procedures easy. A+. read more

How could you not love Dr Chow, he is amazing!!! He is so knowledgeable, he went above and beyond to make sure that all my questions where answered. He was very attentive and was available anytime i had questions. His staff is so polite and caring. The waiting area and rooms were very clean and relaxing. Every bit of the experience was just perfect he is a great doctor and I'm so happy that I found him. read more

If this review was solely based on Dr. Chow then I would give a 5 star review but the 1 star is for Jessica at the front desk. We had an appointment for my mom to get botox today at 2 pm we got there an hour in advance and just waited outside and figured they were on lunch. But at 2pm the door was still locked, we called multiple times, Nobody picked up the phone until 2:15 and Jessica informed me rudely that she tried to leave a voicemail and that she opened the door to look for us, which she didn't because I was sitting outside waiting the whole time. She was beyond rude over the phone and when we walked in she did not welcome us at all, she just stared with a smirk like she was annoyed from the moment we walked in. My mom asked for a tissue and she just pointed and said "their over there" She took my moms paperwork and the lady who called my mom in for her appointment had very good customer service! While my mom was in her appointment I was waiting in the waiting area and every time I would look up Jessica was staring at me with a dirty look, everyone else who would walk in she was soooo nice too, but treated us like crap. I recommend Dr. Chow 100% because I have family who have been long time patients with him, they definitely should consider hiring a new front desk receptionist though, if you are considering coming here then prepare to deal with Jessica leaving you outside 15 mins after your scheduled appointment and her lack of customer service skills and crappy attitude problem! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Chow as of this coming November will be four years. I had the good fortune of being introduced to him by my best friend who is also my Esthetician. I can speak honestly from my own experience. For the past 13 years I have recieved Botox/Dermal Fillers from three Plastic Surgeons(including Dr. Chow),one Registered Nurse and three General Practicioners. Of all the Medical Professionals this gentleman is the best! Dr. Chow's professional expertise, skill and artistry create beauty. He has for me. I look great after my visits. I recommend this Physician with all my heart. Dr. Chow has a lovely staff too. They are kind and professional. It is Dr. Chow only who administer's your treatment. P. Cristo read more

I had a very traumatizing experience form another dermatologist. My right cheek area was sliced by the MD. The MD said it was a hematoma. It was not. It was a cut. I asked to be taken back into the operatory for the MD to reassess the cut ( over 1 inch) and again, i was told it was a hematoma. I know the difference bet a bruise and a cut. I was left to tend to this cut on my own. A week later after the wound closed, I saw Dr Chow. I figure, a plastic surgeon can help guide me in the right direction. I did not knw anything about him. Dr Chow patiently looked at my photos I took immediately after the incident. He listened to my concerns and was very patient. Most importantly, he did not try to sell me anything. He addressed my concerns and gave me this whitening cream that worked wonders. He said use this cream and spf,spf,spf... It's been 8 weeks since that incident. I have brown-olive skin and the cut I have is healing really well. It's barely noticeable now. I was supposed to have a follow up appt today with him but my garage door is stuck. Great timing! Anyways, my point is. He treated me with patience, was very professional and was very realistic in how my cut was going to heal or not heal. He was honest about other txs to treat the darkness of the cut (that could've been suggested and done by other MDs for the sake of making money ) but he was honest in the limitations of such txs relative to my skin tone. I do not write reviews but for this, I had to write one. Dr Chow is a keeper. When I need any future facial tx done to my face ,I will definitely seek his services again. I truly appreciated his time. Sorry I missed his appt R from San Gabriel read more

I saw Dr. Chow for a Latisse consultation. The receptionist (Annie) was super friendly and helpful. I filled out some forms and really didn't even have to wait more than 5 minutes before I was called in. Dr. Chow came in for the consultation and was very thorough about my medical history. He made sure there was nothing conflicting with the Latisse eyedrops, so I knew he cared about his patients very much. He was also very friendly and chatty so there was never any moment of awkward silence. You never feel like he is trying to rush you out to see another patient. He's a very intelligent and professional doctor! He thoroughly explained every answer to any questions, and took his time making sure I knew how to use Latisse. My experience here was fantastic and I would recommend him to anybody seeking cosmetic changes. I've seen his Botox work (have not had any done though) and he's probably the best at what he does! Stop in for a consultation, you won't regret it. read more

Dr. Chow and his staff are very professional, friendly and attentive. Dr. Chow has a great bedside manner. He answered all of my questions and took the time to listen. Cassandra is wonderful! She's efficient and sincere, very helpful. read more

I very seldom post any sort of comments virally but Dr. Chow and his team deserve a thorough one in every aspect (and I seriously made a yelp account to specifically leave this comment). Originally, I checked out Dr. Chow because he was local, he had great reviews here on yelp (including his staff and not that many people bother to take time to compliment every employee) and most importantly, his bio off of his website. Accountability Front desk. Even though the receptionist isn't the one performing the surgery, everything starts at the front desk and I'm going to personally call her out because she deserves credit too. I basically emailed the office asking about the pricing, how long it takes, recovery time and what not and Diana got back to me very quickly. Of two other places I contacted they were literally the only office that got back to me. Both Diana and Edith are very pleasant and welcoming. Honesty Dr. Chow was honest from the beginning. He explained the process (otoplasty) thoroughly and mentioned that there may be scarring, etc. My fault anyway (I had my ears gauged back in high school). He's very friendly and overall, presents himself very well. After my procedure I had one follow up followed by a few more which I think is nice because it wasn't just like, "ok, you're done, I never have to deal with you again." Healing takes time and they make time to be able to check up on you afterwards, this tells me that they actually care about their work and that you're also satisfied. I'm a beautician/ aesthetician's personal assistant which means I'm constantly meeting people who generally speaking, want to improve something physically. The first thing people notice about you is your face and embarrassingly enough to admit to, Dr. Chow also fixed that. He basically gave me a skin analysis and prescribed a topical gel as well as a retinal cream that I've been using for no more than one month and I very seldom wear foundation now. There are still some scars but huge, huge improvements. I can wear my hair up and at most mascara and feel 100 times more comfortable than I have for the past few years. I honestly owe this team everything and this commentary is the least that I could do. My only hope is that when I'm old and wrinkly he's still around because he's the only person I trust with my face. Thank you (SO much)! read more

Dr. Chow is awesome! I am a healthcare professional myself and unfortunately more often than not, I deal with substandard medical care...especially when it comes to bedside manner...Dr. Chow excels in this area. He takes the time to listen to all your concerns and offers a series of options with an explanation in detail of the pros and cons of any procedure you are interested in or have questions about. He gives you information spoken in lay terms so that as a medical consumer you can make an informed decision that is best for you. Of course Dr. Chow like most reputable Drs. have outstanding credentials but it is his genuine interest he has in YOU as HIS patient which makes him stand out from all the rest. I wish all Drs. were like him and wish I could make him my primary doctor for ALL my medical needs! read more

I just had facial surgery with Dr. Chow at the Chow Center in Arcadia. I researched for four years for the right cosmetic surgeon for me, someone Who will only do the most natural work. He's highly gifted and it was my pleasure to not go to a Beverly Hills doctor, rather to Dr. Chow in Arcadia. His prices are extremely reasonable and I feel so confident in him, a genius in his field. He continues learning and is a teacher at Yale University. When you go in for a consultation, please do mention my name. read more

Would not recommend. Very nice doctor, but lacked skill when performing face lift procedure. Unhappy with outcome and all he did afterwards was try to sell me on additional procedures. read more

Three stars for my experience. First of all, yes, undeniably, Dr Chow is super nice. Very patient and takes time to explain things. So I chose him for facial plastic surgery. Unfortunately the results were more than disappointing. .. i was left with very visible scars for a procedure in which 99 percent of people are left with no/or hidden scars. And a few other visibly noticeable problems post surgery. During follow ups there was surprisingly no effort or offers to correct or try to reduce the problem areas free of charge, despite his agreement that the problem areas existed. Instead each time I went in, he tried to sell me services of botox, fillers, or their new esthetician, etc. In the end I would have preferred to have a less "nice in person" surgeon and someone with more surgical skill and willingness to at least in good faith offer to do some correction steps free of charge. read more

Dr. Chow is a dream come true for me. Five stars is absolutely not enough for me to express the happiness he has given me in the past 2 years. The nurse and his receptionist are so sweet and very comforting to everyone and this helps alot. Dr. Chow really and trully cares about his patients and I from day one could feel I had found the right doctor. What I loved about him and also cassandra his nurse is that do not for a second try to talk you into getting ANYTHING and even if you ask them for some type of procedure you want and they do not feel as if you need it they won't do it. now where can you find someone like this anymore? I will tell you where...Dr. Chow at the chow center.. I promise you that you will walk out of the office a very happy person just like i did. I refer all my friends to him and they all cannot thank me enough for doing so and just like me feel as if they have found " A DREAM COME TRUE DOCTOR" read more
