Upper Ear Repair - Washington, DC
Posted by Susan1378
Ear Surgery
The upper part of my left ear was nearly destroyed by an infection. Dr. C used MY OWN cartilage, skin and fat not only to close the HUGE hole in my ear, but to make my ear look perfectly normal!! No one can believe how good it looks!! Dr. C is an incredibly skilled surgeon who is interested in the total health and well being of his patients. If anyone even has a question they need answered by someone they can completely trust, call Dr. C.
Rhinoplasty for Deviated Septum
Posted by RSC
Nose Surgery
Once I knew I had a devited septum, I had it repaired which made it easier to sleep. I suffered for many years with not being able to sleep on my back since it felt like I was suffocating so the surgery improved my quality of life. Also, due to my ENT in DC, he referred me to an allergist prior to my surgery and again I found out that I was allergic to many things and that I had asthma. I am also being treated for those 2 conditions which has improved my quality of life. I would highly recommend going to a doctor if you think you have a medical condition so it can be treated.
Great Experience with Sculptra - Washington DC, DC

Sculptra
I was very selective with my choice of plastic surgeon, as I wanted someone who understands the problem, was interested in solving it, and would spend enough time to get on the same page with me on the esthetic look that I wanted. So, I’m glad I chose Dr. Chaboki. He is very professional and did such a great job on my face. Dr. Chaboki and his staff made me feel special. I understand that for him it is very important that his clients are satisfied with their looks. He listened to me, understood what I wanted to achieve, and found the best solution for my case. It is important that he is very conservative, and may tell you something like, “Well, it’s not going to look good because…, but I would recommend… it will give you the best result …” He will never push you into any procedure just for money or simplicity, and always gives great advice. Later on I returned to Dr. Chaboki for Belotero for my nasal folds. They look great! It gives me a very natural, soft and smooth effect. Thank you Dr. Chaboki and his staff - especially Irama (his lovely assistant) for such a great experience.

Huge, Shapeless Nose Refined & Reduced in Size - Washington, DC

Asian Rhinoplasty
I'm actually a returning patient of Dr. Chaboki's, so I know from experience his high level of surgical skills and patient care. There are some very well-known surgeons in California who specialize in Asian cosmetic surgery, but I wanted to find a surgeon closer to home due to time constraints & financial reasons. Thus, I needed to find a doctor on the East Coast who rivaled those renowned surgeons' skills and expertise, and Dr. Chaboki (again) was it! *In addition, I had some specific requirements: I only wanted a closed rhinoplasty (which Dr. Chaboki is known for), and I did not want a synthetic implant. In fact, I didn't want to use ear/rib cartilage either, so Dr. Chaboki's methods really ended up working well for me.

Great. Professional. Quick. Painless. Satisfied - Washington DC, DC
Posted by bxn4205
I saw reviews from this site and saw that many people were satisfied with their results so I went to him for my procedure and I am happy to say that I am very satisfied with his work, intelligence, and professionalism. Dr. Chaboki is very professional and intelligent in his plastic surgery business. I found him using reviews and saw a lot of good reviews about his work. I scheduled an appointment in Washington and I live in Pittsburgh. Being on vacation for only a week, I told Dr. Chaboki my situation and he was able to get me in and perform what was needed so I can get back to work ASAP. During my consultation, he reassured me with any questions I had and helped me understand what is best for my condition. I had double eyelid surgery to fix one of my eyes since one was mono lid and the other was double lid. Dr. Chaboki is well known for his procedure known as "Asian Eyelid Surgery". In a coupe of days, I came back and got the surgery done and the procedure took a half hour and it was painless throughout the process. The healing time was 8 wees and Dr. Chaboki would call me to check up on how I was doing and any questions I would have. His follow-ups were painless and simple and scheduling was really flexible for my schedule. Overall, I am very satisfied with the surgery and Dr. Chaboki is a trusted surgeon in my view.

Dr. Chaboki’s patience, bedside manner and attentiveness to his clients cannot be measured. From calling the night of my surgery to ensure I was recuperating nicely to his availability to answer any and all post-op follow-up questions is beyond refreshing. He and his staff are absolutely wonderful and I would recommend his office to anyone seeking similar surgery.
Dr. Chaboki - Best Dr. for Conservative Rhinoplasty - Washington DC, DC
Posted by happypatient123
I am also extremely pleased with the cosmetic portion - Dr. Chaboki was very conservative (which I wanted) and the results look identical to the computer simulation he did beforehand. No one (except for friends and family I told about the operation beforehand) can even tell I had a nose job. In addition to his surgical expertise Dr. Chaboki and his staff are extremely kind and always available. Do not hesitate to schedule a consultation with Dr. Chaboki - he truly is the best!
Fantastic Experience. Been a Little Over 3 Months - Washington DC, DC

Septoplasty
I really have no complaints. I found him to be exceptional. I consulted one other plastic surgeon/ENT in the DC area, whom I did not like and then found Dr. Chaboki. I found him to be immediately serious and professional but warm at the same time. He took out a mold of a skull and showed me the septum and went through what would happen during the spetomplasty. He also took photos and then showed me on the computer what a changed aesthetic might look like. He really won me over with that first visit. He kept asking if I had questions after each explanation he gave. I was apprehensive about the surgery, and he was very reassuring. I also wanted a very natural look, and this is what he gave me. He has both a refined sense of aesthetics as well as a gentle bed-side manner, in addition to being a top-notch clinician. The experience has improved my inner life as well as my appearances in unexpected ways. I feel more confident and open to the world and believe I carry myself in kind now more than before the surgery. His advertisement of "the real self" is true and I believe the perfect description for what can take place.
No Need to Look Any Further - Washington DC, DC

Dr Chaboki is a very knowledgeable doctor and good at what he does. He knows his stuff and is very easy to talk to. His office is convenient and the staff are pleasant. I have used facial fillers before and while I liked the person who did them for me in the past, I needed to find someone that was more convenient for me. I did some research and found Dr. Chaboki on this website. It turned out that one of his offices is a block from where I work. I went to his website and filled out the appointment information and I received a call back from one of his staff within hours. I made an appointment for the next week. The office is nicely done and immaculate. The front desk staff is polite but the young lady at the front seemed confused that I was self paying and not using my insurance at my second follow up appointment. Not a big deal comparatively speaking to my entire process. The back room staff are a bit more friendly and responsive than the front desk but the people at the front are also answering phones so I didn't expect them to interact with me that much. I waited for about 15 minutes -- which is a little better than average for DC in my opinion - and I was brought back to the room. A nurse talked to me a bit about what I was looking for and completed my paperwork with me and left to get the doctor. He came within a minute or two. He was extremely nice and he really knows his stuff. He told me about himself and the practice -- there are also ENT's there and the Dr. himself does many procedures dealing with the face - not only fillers and the basics. He also teaches at GW hospital. He is obviously a very smart man but he is also very easy to talk to. We talked about what I was looking to do - fillers - and he explained to me how it would work and why your face does what it does - sagging, loss of volume as we age, etc. This was the first doctor who took the time to explain to me how time affects our face and loss of facial fat etc contributed to the look I was trying to get rid of. One thing that impressed me was that he didn't try to get me to do more than necessary.
Botox Jaw Reduction - Washington, DC
Posted by ElissaR
He is very talented aesthetically and artistically. I achieved amazing results, which you will soon be able to see on his website. He is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain all the options, pros and cons of each, and answers all questions. I was surprised how much time he spent with me. His nurses also spent a long time with me. He has gained my complete trust, and I am so happy I chose him as my facial plastic surgeon.

Great Botox Experience - Washington DC, DC
Posted by Ira338
Doctor Chaboki has done, again, and amazing work and now I look even younger! I live in Washington DC and his office is convenient and accessible for me. On the other hand, Dr. Chaboki took his time to explain the procedure and to show me the variety of choices I had, according to the features of my face, to reduce the wrinkles around my eyes, until we agree that the botox was the best option for me. I'm very grateful with Dr. Chaboski's procedure.
Great Diagnosis and Great Post-op Care - Washington DC, DC
Posted by mortezaoz
Dr.Chaboki is both knowledgeable and friendly, I visited him the first time because I wanted to reduce the size of my nose, but he told me that the reason that my nose looks big is because my face bones are under developed, so I did chin and jaw augmentation with him, I'm very happy with the results and my nose looks proportionate to my face now, He saved me from doing an unnecessary surgery. I completely recommend him to everyone.
Happy with the Result - Washington DC, DC
Posted by jamieja
This is second time for me to see Dr. Chaboki for the Botox jaw reduction procedure. I loved the result from the first visit and went in for a six month follow up. Just like the first time, it went smoothly. Besides his expertise, I feel that Dr. Chaboki really cares for his patients, because when I was with him, I was never rushed and he takes time explaining things to me as well as answering my questions before the procedure.

Juvederm Made my Eyes Ugly, Hyaluronidase Gave my Confidence Back!! - Washington, DC

Hyaluronidase
Dr. Chaboki took time to give me his background and asked all about mine. He's great! I thought it was strange that the nurse came into the medical room just before my injection to ask for payment while I was icing. She said it was standard which i'm sure it is there but it payments should never mix with the care.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. C and his staff when I had several moles from my face removed. My procedure was covered by my insurance, which was an added bonus. All the members of his staff are professional, kind, friendly, and helpful. They responded to all of my emails within a few hours. Dr. C has an approachable demeanor, and goes to great lengths to make sure that all questions are answered. As for his skills as a surgeon, I am extremely happy with the results, as my scars are healing very nicely. The only thing I wasn't too keen on was the wait time. On my first visit, after being taken from the waiting room to the exam room, I waited about 25 minutes before being seen by Dr. C. So bring something to do just in case there is down time, because Dr. C and his staff are definitely worth the wait.
