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

Posted by ES_E

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

Posted by colvingirl

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.

No Need to Look Any Further - Washington DC, DC

Juvederm

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.
