“First Class - Sacramento, CA”

"Dr. Kaniff is an artist. At my first consultation for cosmetic surgery, he listened. Then with a mirror he demonstrated what he saw could be done to improve my overall look.That was 1997 when I had a facelift, browlift, cheek implants and laser under the eyes. The end look was so natural my siblings in Il. said that Ca.kept me young. Today I see Dr. Kaniff for botox, fillers, etc. I trust him both for his skill and his honesty."

“Complete Trust - Sacramento, CA”

Facelift
"Two THUMPS UP for Dr. Kaniff. I have had lipo/facelift/necklift/chin implant/botox/ and injectibles done by Dr. Kaniff. Not only is he a skilled and experienced surgeon and fully board certified and professionally affiliated, his doctors' fees for surgery and lipo are extremely fair and reasonable. His staff is TOP NOTCH. I have complete trust in Dr. Kaniff--I've been his patient since 2002."
