disgraceful. made appt with dr CarTera and come at 1 as that is when he sees patients. when I arrived, they sent me in to see a man that said he was dr Devine. I find out he is a fellow but they represented himas a doctor. No business card, no proper attire! He set me up for tests. Scam!Scam!!! read more

I can't say enough about Dr Cabrera. His staff is second to none and he is highly skilled with a wonderful bedside manner. I highly recommend him! read more

OMG, why would my derm recomment him? I always check reviews. People, I have amazing plastic surgeons in Mexico and Costa Rica that I sent very weathly upscale women too (and men) back when I was working for Gorgeous Getaways and we did an Entertainment Tonight show on this for Australia. The plastic surgeon back in AU said it was the best breast reconstruction he ever saw and this woman was beyond repair; being older, smoked, no skin left after her double mastectomies, etc. I'm not selling anything here as I am looking for a plastic nearby instead of having to travel to Costa Rica or Mexico (all board certified- one was president of the Plastic surgeon board in all of Mexico). And they are no less expensive in those regions either. They have really raised their pricing. Anyway, I'm thankful for all the honest reviews here as I will not be seeing this Cabrera guy with a humungous ego. My docs in CR and MX- none of this ego sh-t. read more

Well I haven't had any surgery yet, but based on my one hour consultation with Dr. Cabrera, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Nice office, easy to find and park and a very welcoming receptionist. I didn't wait very long to meet the doctor. A handsome man with a good bed side manner and a great sense of humor. I thought very honest and didn't push any other procedures other then what I was inquiring about. He made a couple knowledgeable suggestions. When I decide on what I want to do , I will definitely use Dr. Cabrera! read more

Dr. Cabrera altered my face on May 13th 2020 and I look terrible. He filled my checks and now I have hard uneven lumps on my face. I look so awful and don't look anything like my old self before this painful surgery. I waited to write a review hoping my face would get better but every year it has become more distorted and lumpy. OMG what a mess I have to live with. Heartbroken and embarrassed to ever be photographed! read more

Rafael Cabrera, MD, FACS - My face is ruined - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

My mom went there for Melanoma surgery. He got her in for surgery very quickly. Everything seemed to go well, and seemed efficient, courteous, and professional. All signs so far (months later) are that the surgery was successful. No problems reported read more

I can't believe all the horrible reviews I have read. I wish I did my homework. I had my breast reconstructed because of an implant collapsed, and I trusted him. When I got a lawsuit money, I went back to him for face surgery. He did a fat graft and facelift. The results are supposed to be permanent. The healing is supposed to be within eight months for the final effect. After three weeks, the wrinkles that I had the surgery done because of totally came back. All the fat disappeared after a month. I am stuck with all of the wrinkles. I have painful, painful, saggy lumps down around the bottom of my mouth that make me look like a bloodhound. My cheeks feel like somebody is hammering them with a sledgehammer on a daily basis. It has not been three months and I am in agony. They don't know it yet, but they will find out very soon. I am speaking with a Plastic Surgeon medical malpractice attorney who says I have an incredible case. Not only is he, arrogant and rude, it says that Melissa is a business owner and she's so sorry that people feel this way. She is just a friggin worker there. She assist with surgeries and takes pictures. I was at the office when the administrator - the quacks wife Wife told everybody that called for the Melissa to say she was a nurse and that Laure, the administrator and his wife, is in a consultation. That's what I got all day and was there when she said it again. They are rude. She is exactly like a flea market hustler. Selling you everything. She is a bitch in person but how nice she can be over the phone and when you have a complaint. She says wow I've never seen this happen before. Or you look so good. When I look horrendous. He offered to do another surgery to quote tighten things up. Are you kidding me? I wouldn't let my worst enemy. Go see him for a consultation. Please do your homework this guy as a horrible, horrible guy. He is rude, abrasive, arrogant, and dismissive. His wife seems to make everything OK. NOT OK!!!!! read more

it's been 6 months since Dr. Cabrera repaired Mohs surgery done beneath my eyebrow. The remaining scar is still the first thing I see on my face in the morning and every time I look in the mirror, I cringe. Even worse than the appearance of this scar was Dr. Cabrera's arrogant, nonchalant, rude and uncaring attitude when asked about fixing it. I sincerely hope that other patients do not suffer with the same experience with Dr. Cabrera. read more

I recently made the mistake of going here. Prior to my appointment I was told I had to pay $100.00 just to be seen, and the money will go toward a procedure if I decide to get one through Dr. Cabrera . I thought that was really odd to ask for money a week ahead just to talk? I decided 24 hours prior to appointment I was not going to the right place. My issue is scarring on face that I wanted to see if it can be fixed. I called to let the front desk know I don't think I'm making an appointment in the right place , as I don't want to waste time or money just to be passed around. Well my gut was right. They didn't seem to want to offer me a refund, and said you might as well come you already paid . So I go. The Dr was knowledgeable and looked at my situation and suggested micro-needling and PRP. I have never heard of it, but was willing to do whatever to fix my issue. So the same person who billed me over the phone(HIS WIFE) like a hustler at a flea market was the same one who decided what the price of ONE PROCEDURE of micro-needling would be. 2,850!!!!! I almost made a HUGE mistake and put money down to have this done. Thank goodness the front desk advised to take my time and look into it. I'm sure she knew IT WAS AN INSANE QUOTE! I went home to look it up ..it runs between 3-800 dollars with PRP. I found a groupon for two sessions with PRP for 170.00 ! (I'm sure businesses are trying to revive from covid) . I was so upset that this retched hustler would treat patients in such a criminal manner. That price is criminal and ROBBERY! There isn't a place in the USA that is past $800. That was the highest price and it's NYC. It's a location thing . Dr Cabrera is only by FAU Hospitol . Nothing screaming a License to steal. He was a nice guy..so it seemed. His wife ..that's a different story. I imagine those poor girls have a terrible time working for her. read more

Rafael Cabrera, MD, FACS - This is the receipt I almost made a huge mistake in making an agreement ! CRIMINAL! - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Trust your doctor cares about you, he does. Know that they will take the time to explain the procedure, he does. Feel assured that he is skilled in all various protocols for the results you desire, he does. The office staff are polite, patient, skilled in the ancillary contributions to insure you are attended as needed. I recommend that you owe yourself, at a minimum, to visit and evaluate before you chose another surgeon. You will not be disappointed. read more

I keep coming back to Dr. Cabrera's office because he does a really good job. The Bottom line, I trust him. He has a lot of patience. He answers all questions multiple times I'm sure. He also really, really looks at you and is able to offer options if there are any. He doesn't rush. He embraces new ways of doing his work and new technology. read more

Dr. Cabrera, Lori and the entire staff were amazing with my 17 year old daughter. They were patient, thorough, kind, attentive, professional and cautious with their care. My daughter had liposculpture to remove a slight double chin and to provide definition to her jawline. Other doctors recommended chin implants but Dr. Cabrera had a different approach and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Her chin is the perfect size- we wouldn't want it any bigger. We are so happy and we absolutely recommend Dr. Cabrera. read more

Dr Cabrera is tremendous. Not only is he brilliant (not puffing) he and his office team is especially friendly, caring, and very professional. My family has had two great experiences within six months. First, his surgery on my mother's Merkyl cell cancer was well run and his repair of affected areas is healing up very well. One of the repaired areas is now barely visible. His care for her was very heartwarming. Other physicians I've met also think really highly of him. After meeting him, I returned for advice about my own spasming forehead muscles. His advice worked very well. I had been told by a few doctors that to try Botox-type injections might help. After years of fretting and then observing his care of my mother, I trusted him and knew he'd have a great understanding of facial muscles. He took the time to carefully consider how to help me and explain what he could do. I'm glad that I met him and had the injections! The process was again professional with very happy, satisfying results. Thank you!! read more

Lori, the wife of Dr. Cabrera, was so kind and caring. She took her time to address all of my concerns. She made sure I was completely at ease before I decided to have Dr Cabrera take care of my skin. If you are looking for a high quality result, I highly recommend Dr. Cabrera and his entire staff. read more

DR CABRERA IS NOT A COSMETIC SURGEON This is the 3rd review I leave on google review and somehow he pays to get it removed. Dr. Cabrera is not a "cosmetic" surgeon. He is a surgeon alright. The reason I am saying that he is not a "cosmetic" is because Dr. Cabrera left the shape of my breast with a boxy and very flat shape after a breast reduction surgery. Dr. Cabrera left the scars sitting high almost in the middle of the breast instead in the fold of the breast. The nipples are not centered.. I have constant pain along the lateral chest area due to the scar tissue developed after the surgery. I feel horrible looking at my "butchered" breast. I discussed these issues with Dr. Rafael Cabrera and wanted 1/2 of the cost of the surgery refunded to me since I must have a corrective revision breast reduction but he refuses to do so. Dr. Cabrera saids he is willing to redo the surgery but since I had this very bad results with Dr. Cabrera. I am not willing to submit myself to another surgery with Dr. Rafael Cabrera. The surgery with Dr. Cabrera cost me more than $10K and now I have to expand more money in the revision surgery of my breast. I am very sad and I take responsibility that I have corrective revision surgery because I did not do my homework regarding the expertise of Dr. Cabrera. read more

My consultation with this "quack" was on April 4, 2016. I had seen the positive reviews and thought I had done my research well before making the appointment. I had a deep, caved in 1/2" scar on my left cheek with a "doggie ear" bump above it for several years due to a prior mole removal surgery that didn't go well. I confided in Rafael, trusted in his words to do a scar revision. He's a smooth talker. Reassured me, showing me exactly what the procedure he would do. I trusted him. I believed him when I was told that there would be a fine line left by the time it healed. I decided to trust him and do the procedure the next day April 5, 2016. Upon arriving on April 5th, I was disrespectfully, rudely talked to by his staff member "Jackie" I believe. My nerves with the upcoming surgery didn't appreciate this behavior and I informed Rafael's wife and manager of the situation. She didn't seem to care. This should have been my main red flag that this is not the right "doctor" to do this procedure. But I paid my $1,500 cash. The operating room was intense. Rafael explained to me during the procedure that he was cutting out the old scar, getting rid of the "doggie ear" bump and using more stitches than normal. I wish I could attach pictures of the before and after.. After 6 months, I had noticed that this new scar was about 2 inches long now, very red/pinkish, and that the "doggie ear" was still there. I also noticed the scar was "caving in" as well. I emailed the office about what to do about this and I received no response. I had always received an email response prior fyi. After 2 attempts at email with attached photos of the scar situation and no response, I called the office. I spoke to one of the nurses (very kind--the only asset in this office) who put me on hold for 10 minutes. I'm guessing in hopes I would hang up. Which I did after 10 minutes. Called back and was told that Rafael could not "tell" from the photos (total b.s. I showed other doctors in New York who had no problem seeing the problem with the scar.) I was told I would have to make another appointment next time I was in Florida. Why would I ever let this quack touch my face again? I can't say anything negative about the other procedures he does and seems to have rave reviews about. I am strongly warning anyone who needs a scar revision done on their face---stay away from this guy. This guy who has rave reviews about his work, made my situation worse than it was. So before I had 1/2" scar with doggie ear, now I have 2" deep caved in scar with doggie ear. I went to a top plastic surgeon/dermatologist in New York City who said he didn't understand what Rafael did=-the surgery, the stitching, was not done properly. read more

Dr. Cabrera, and his team, are in my opinion the absolute best in Florida! I had put off a breast augmentation surgery for 10 years until I walked into his office- first and foremost, he got me and understood my vision where other doctors had always pushed what they wanted. That said, I am 4 months pre-op and the results speak for themselves. Subtle, super natural looking, and the best decision I have ever made. The surgery was done in his office with his wonderful staff there for support, but it was dr Cabrera's care and expertise that really made the difference. You can tell he takes pride in his work and the results are a reflection of his perfectionism. If you are looking for a Doctor that you can trust not just with their intentions but with results beyond anything you could have ever anticipated than here he is!!!! read more

Don't waste your time. Dr Cabrera only cares about money, he or his incompetent nurses do not care about the patient's well-being whatsoever and will speak negatively about you once you're out of earshot. The only reason he's gotten so far is his abilty to lie and charm the pants off older women. read more
