Dr. Paro is amazing! Such a great experience. I would recommend Dr. Paro for any plastic or reconstructive surgery. He's warm. Funny. Puts you at ease. Knowledgeable. Confident in his abilities. I'm very happy with my experience. His staff is warm and friendly. What are we going to do next Dr. Paro? :) Thank you! read more

Dr paro is absolutely amazing. He is an incredible doctor. He is patient, kind, so knowledgeable and good at what he does. And he always made me feel comfortable and important. He did my surgery and he did an amazing job. I love my results! Also, i had a complication that was not his fault at all, but he was there with me through all of it. I'm talking he took timeout of his day to see me, and to make sure we got me better. He walked through it with me every step of the way. I absolutely adore him and recommend him to everyone i can. He listens to every concern i have and every single question. Doesn't make me feel bad for asking anything or make me feel rushed. Always gets back to me with online questions or calls. And if you're looking for reviews right now to make sure he is a good surgeon and won't botch you then this is your sign! I know it's hard to choose a surgeon. You don't want to be botched and you want to make sure they're good for you. It sucks when you're looking online and can't find any info and i wanted to make sure i wrote this. To support him and rave all about him. But also so you can know that he did absolutely amazing on my plastic surgery (i had a panni and abdominoplasty) and he will be my surgeon for any other procedure i have going forward. Every one. There's no one else i would want to go to. So if you're on the fence. Do it! You will be in amazing hands! read more

Dr Paro was very nice and caring . He made me feel very comfortable. He explained the procedure to me so I could understand, and asked if I had any questions. I'm looking forward to my procedure. read more

Dr. Paro is an amazing surgeon! He cares about each patient and is thorough when explaining your procedure! I would highly recommend him!

Dr. Paro is not only super knowledgeable but he made me feel very comfortable. He answered every question I had and made himself available through the PAMF website as well! read more

I've had my surgery and I could not be more pleased with the results and Dr.Paro. Any new work I need to have done, i will definitely be doing it here! read more

While I'd like to be able to review Dr. Paro's work, I am unable to do so because the heavyset nurse (I don't have her name, so I have no choice but to provide an accurate description as there appears to be more than one nurse in the office) that attended my mother at her pre-op appointment arbitrarily and cowardly decided to phone my mother hours after her pre-op appointment to cancel her surgery. My mother has white coat syndrome, a condition in which a patient's blood pressure readings are higher when taken at the doctor's office compared to other BP readings. This is stated in her medical record and she also explained this to Heavyset Nurse and Dr. Paro. While I can appreciate Dr. Paro being cautious, I find the comportment of Heavyset Nurse to be subpar! First, if Heavyset Nurse had read my mother's chart, she would've had better sense in taking my mother's BP more thoughtfully but instead, she brought in a trainee to observe and rather than waiting for the reading to finish to ask my mother questions, she started asking her questions while the cuff was on and taking the reading. Heavyset Nurse also failed to appropriately instruct my mother to uncross her feet. She only decided to do so AFTER I had looked down at my mother's feet to make sure they weren't crossed. When Dr. Paro came into the exam room to see my mother, he of course addressed his concerns about her BP and instructed her to contact her physician about lowering it. He also explained that if it remained high on the day of her surgery, the surgery would be canceled. This is the second time this office has canceled my mother's surgery. As far as I know, the first time, they didn't have their affairs in order, surgical center availability, or something. Back to the BP: Per usual, they wanted to take my mother's BP again at the end of the appointment to see if it had improved which it did not. I left the exam room and turned the lights off with the hope that her BP reading would be better but no luck there. At no point did Dr. Paro or Heavyset Nurse cancel the surgery while we were still in the office, so we continued preparing for surgery in two days. I cleared my work schedule (rescheduling meetings, etc.) and then hours after we left the office, Heavyset Nurse calls my mom to cancel. Rather than setting another appointment for her surgery, Heavyset Nurse very rudely stated "call us back when you get your BP under control." Secondly, my mother's pre-op appointment was on Monday and her surgery was scheduled for Wednesday. At her pre-op appointment, just barely 48 hours in advance of the surgery, Heavyset Nurse provided my mother with some arnica tablets which she instructed her to consume 72 hours in advance which was impossible to do since they were only provided 48 hours in advance. Had Heavyset Nurse done her job appropriately, she would've called my mother more than 72 hours prior to the surgery to instruct her about purchasing and consuming the arnica but Heavyset Nurse failed to do this as well. When I questioned this at the pre-op appointment, she just completely ignored my question, shrugged her shoulders, and kept on blabbing. I get that customer service overall is pretty much nonexistent, but I do expect slightly more from the medical community, not let's just herd patients in and out as quickly as possible with little regard for patient care. Incredibly unprofessional, irresponsible, and inconsiderate! While the arnica is not super essential, it could go a long way in easing some discomfort and bruising from the surgery. Lastly, while this is a plastic surgery procedure, in my mother's case, it is not for cosmetic reasons. The primary reason for the surgery is so that my mom can see better. I traveled to the Bay Area from Los Angeles for this surgery, only to have Heavyset Nurse cowardly cancel the surgery and fail to schedule for another date. read more

I am almost two weeks post procedure with Dr Paro and his wonderful team of OR and recovery staff. My journey with breast augmentation has been a long and arduous one. I truly had lost all confidence in cosmetic surgeons. I found myself wishing I had never started the journey in the first place. After 10 years and three BA surgeries, I wanted to be "me" again. A more proportional me, the me I used to be. The more BA revisions you go through, the harder it becomes to fix the fix. The surgeons I have seen in the past had in excess of 100 plus glowing reviews and my experience with them fell fall short of that. So I would echo another reviewer's comment regarding limited star ratings. In the case of Dr Paro, I had to do my homework to find him. Because I'd lost hope of finding a surgeon I could trust, I deliberately started to seek out a surgeon who didn't operate a private "store front", which is how I began to view the world of cosmetic surgery. It was important for me to find a surgeon in the very traditional sense. Dr Paro does incredible things and literally changes the lives of many people. He has already changed mine and I feel exceptionally fortunate that I finally found a surgeon completely committed to his patients as individuals. I found him to be the most kind, confident and humble surgeon I have ever met. All his team are an incredible support and provide the best care pre and post operatively. I would encourage anyone who is looking for BA surgery wether revision or first time, to consult with Dr Paro. I was a very complex case as I also have scoliosis, but you can be assured you are putting yourself in the very best hands. Thank you Dr Paro, Michelle, Mary, Rando, Julie and amazing anesthesiologist Dr David Lewis for my care. Also anyone else at PAMF Fremont who took such great care of me. I do feel very much "me" again. I couldn't be happier. I thank you all sincerely, especially the amazing Dr Paro. read more

Dr.Paro was recommended by my sister -in-law who is on the management team of radiologist tech and one of her speacitlies are mammograms. She can always tell which one is Dr.Paro's work. This is how impressive and stand out perfection over many other plastic surgerons. I am currently recovering from my breast augmentation and cannot say how comfortable, understood, welcomed, and excited I felt during each appointment with Dr. Paro and his team. I am still healing but I can already tell what an amazing job he has done. Everything was done at a hospital or surgery center. BTW my sister-in-law did a mommy makeover and her breast, stomach and belly button are stunning. Dr. Paro is a true master at his craft. read more

First off,I just had my surgery yesterday so I cannot talk about long term satisfaction just yet. However, all my appointments with Dr Paro and every person on his team were so professional a f kind. The day of surgery I was so nervous and couldn't find words to express anything. The nurses at the surgery center were absolutely amazing ! And the anesthesiologist was so sweet, he even called me the night before to see if I had any last minute questions. Dr Paro asked if I wanted more D or C cups for my frame and I said the smaller the better and I can already feel a different in How my neck feels. ( mind you I'm also on drugs). He asked once more before surgery to make sure I had t change my mind, and sure enough I still wanted the smaller size, a C for my 5'2 frame seems great. I can't wait to see how this looks in 4-6 weeks and then in 6 months. I'm so happy I went through with it and I'm so thankful for Dr Paro. I can't wait for my post - op! read more

Don't let the lack of Yelp reviews make you avoid this doctor! He is a real gem! He is probably in my top two of most personable doctors I have ever met. Honestly, it's a coin toss who number 1 would be. Dr. Paro is incredibly responsive if you send him a message on the MyHealthOnline message portal. He usually responds same day, or next business day at the latest. He doesn't ever rush you through an appointment, whether it's an initial consult, pre-op, post-op, or any of the myriad of questions you ask online. You feel like a friend when you go visit, not as a patient. My (first ever) procedure went well, no doubt in part due to Dr. Paro's expert handling. Although I cannot comment on the long-term prognosis/outcome of the procedure since it was fairly recent, I am confident that everything will be fine. I was quite a bit nervous prior to my first invasive procedure, and Dr. Paro did a great job with handling that stress. I also appreciated that he considered my unique case during more than just our visits. In fact, he even altered our original surgical plan based on reflection that he had done regarding my case. That's pretty unique nowadays. Great doctor, you won't be disappointed! read more

Long overdue review! Just love Dr. Paro! I had surgery three years ago and to date the results are still excellent. He is warm and friendly and addressed my concerns and questions regarding my surgery. He also was very honest about his experience in performing other procedures that I inquired about. I highly recommend Dr Paro and at the very least, schedule a consultation with him if you're considering cosmetic surgery. read more

Dr Paro is wonderful. Excellent surgeon and very caring. He has taken me through breast cancer surgery and reconstruction. Office staff wonderful too. Highly recommend. read more

I have seen Dr. Paro for a hand injury resulting from an extended golf trip and mores recently for multiple facial fractures sustained in a bicycle accident. Although surgical intervention was not required in either case he was quick to access the situation and provide a realistic assessment and treatment recommendation. I really appreciate his knowledge of his craft, his communication style, his openness and honesty. He responded quickly to all emails with relevant and carefully detailed responses. I would highly recommend Dr. Paro. read more

I have complicated nerve damage from a surgery done by someone else and have had many surgeries to fix it. Dr Paro had an idea to try and really engaged to address the issue. It is refreshing to find a dr who will own the problem to the best they are able. It didn't work as we hoped but he still is trying to find a specialist who can do something to relieve the pain I live in constantly. I'd recommend him in a minute . He doesn't rush you, he'll answer any questions with honesty and integrity. Highly recommend. read more
