Like LinkedIn and Facebook, doctors decide what to feature on their RealSelf profile. They may dispute a review and choose not to display it in their profile, but the review will be counted towards their average star rating and appear under the treatment reviews section and on the reviewer's profile.

Featured Patient Reviews
“I Say She is the Best - Los Angeles, CA”
Breast Reconstruction
"I have seen Dr. D since I was 9 yrs.old. Now I am 30yr.She listen and observes your situation. Tells you as a professional what you need and respects your decisions. Tells you the complications, side effects, and follows up. She tries to help any way she can. She is not like those so called " plastic surgeons" who want $$ and don't care about you."
