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
“My Nose Job Made Me Look Better but Still Like Me! - Palo Alto”
Rhinoplasty
"See review -- but to sum up he did a fantastic job and I am completely satisfied with the results."
“Difficult Rhinoplasty Recovery, but Well Worth It...”
Rhinoplasty
"I spent months searching around for the best ENT and a plastic surgeon. I traveled to different cities; I also interviewed two of the top surgeons in Rodeo Drive/Beverly Hills area; And finally picked Dr. M at Stanford.
Dr. M is by far the best doctor for my procedure. I am very happy with my decision as he did a fabulous job. I had a rhinoplasty and septum deviation surgery. Dr. M was very professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and very caring. Unlike several of the plastic surgeons who I met, Dr. M never tried to act like a sales man; He has very high confidence about his area and takes the extra time to explain difficult questions with a lot of patience. Dr. M has assembled a highly capable medical staff/residents from top tier medical schools around the world. They all said “looking up to him as a role model” for his expertise and experience.
On my first visit Dr. M was able to show me the future result of my surgery using computer graphics and even gave me options to choose from with his recommendations. Amazingly the result of the surgery is exactly as he had on the graphics and the option I picked.. I get lots of complements every day, even thought it just 30 days after my surgery, my nose is looking very natural and I can breath 100% better than before... thank you very much for the superb job Dr.M…I would strongly recommend DXr. M to anyone who is looking for a Dr. they can trust."

“Rhinoplasty Review - Stanford, CA”
"I recommend Dr. Most for anyone who is considering getting a Rhinoplasty. The overall service that I received by the staff and doctors working with Dr. Most was professional and top-rate. I was very satisfied with my results, and though very rare, my final results matched the before and after pictures which Dr. Most predicted at our first meeting. Dr. Most cares about the aesthetic result, as well as, the functionality of what he is operating on and expresses apprehension when he knows that what you are asking for is not practical and could do harm in the future. I appreciated his honesty and how he explained technical elements of the surgery to me, this made me very confident as a patient-in a few words,he doesn't sell an idea and he is honest with his patients. On an aesthetic perspective, I felt that Dr. Most listened to the concerns I had, worked with me to achieve a practical result, and shared the same wants of sculpting a nose that matched my facial features. I had a very natural result and I recommend Dr. Most to anyone looking for a good surgeon. He's the best!"
“Talented Surgeon Matters - Palo Alto, CA”
Facelift
"Dr. is well named. He is Chair of Facial Plastic Surgery at Stanford. But he is more than technically competent. He refuses (I know, I argued with him) to do any procedures that will result in an undesirable outcome. In my case, I would not have been able to close my eyes at night if he had removed too much skin above my eyes.
He is very approachable and accessible. He answers phone calls and emails. He explains each step and/or recommendation so the patient doesn't have unrealistic expectations or disappointing outcomes."
“Great Experience, Love my Results - Stanford, CA”
Nose Surgery
"After serveral consultations, I chose Dr. M because he is not only one of the most experienced surgeons I spoke with, but he also was very well spoken, professional and knowledgeable."
