I searched for over seven years and consulted with a few providers in and out of the country before meeting with Dr. Ariel Rad. What stands out immediately about Dr. Rad is how focused, attentive, and professional he is. In addition to being a skilled surgeon, I also trusted his artistic vision. I enjoyed peace of mind throughout the process of getting my septorhinoplasty. I feel so blessed to say that I now have restored breathing and improved facial harmony. Dr. Rad delivered

I am a healthy male age 60. My story is a bit usual in that I sought treatment because of a past eye issue called Ectropion. A previous face lift performed several years prior to me seeing Dr. Rad, caused my eye left eye to sag and droop away from the eye. That prior surgery was not performed by Dr. Rad. Because of my Ectropion, I did not feel, nor believe, that my left eye was attractive looking. In my research to resolve and fix this Ectropion, I sought out several

Months later, once I healed from radiation treatment, he performed my DIEP flap reconstruction. Dr. Rad is a consummate professional and a precise and skilled surgeon. He took copious amounts of time with me - whether in person or over the phone - and consistently answered my questions in great detail and with a tremendous amount of patience. My emails and calls

I had several facial procedures done with Dr. Rad about 6 months ago, including mid face implants, endoscopic mid face lifting, buccal fat removal, and hairline advancement. One thing that drew me to Dr. Rad is he has a great aesthetic eye and is able to help you come up with a plan to address your concerns. Often times it may not be the exact procedure you walk in requesting. For example, I did not initially think I would want facial implants but after the consultation I realized
...read moreMy first surgery was with Dr. Rad- from start to finish everything about the experience was amazing. Dr. Rad and his team made me feel so comfortable. Each appointment he took his time answering all my questions and concerns. 3 months post opt, my results are better then I ever could’ve imagined and exceeded my expectations in every way. Best surgeon and best experience. Cannot recommend Dr. Rad enough!
I felt in good hands with Dr. Rad since the very first consultation. He handled my breast reduction and I could not have picked a better surgeon, he was with me every step of the way and listened to my thoughts without pressuring me.
From consult to post-op, Dr. Rad has been incredible. He is kind, LISTENS, and has stellar bedside manner. His work speaks for itself as he is the king of subtle changes and beautiful results. I would highly recommend him and would absolutely see him in the future should I desire more work.
Dr. Rad is an amazing doctor and an even better person. If you want a doctor who is going to listen to your vision and execute this is the guy. He prioritizes his patients and their happiness along with being with you post op. I am blown away with my results and I am only a couple months healed. My nose looks natural and improved and turned out exactly how I had hoped. Couldn’t be happier with both my breast implants and my new nose that being said I recommend Dr. Rad 10/10!
Had a revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Rad as well as a lip lift. He gave me exactly what I wanted. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, he has an incredible aesthetic eye. Surgery recovery is always difficult, but I looked normal soon after and was able to resume daily activities after just one week.
