“Definitely Worth It! - Bellevue, WA”
Facelift
"I saw so many photo's of Dr. R's work, that I felt comfortable I would get a natural look, which was very important to me. I also have a dramatic change, which I also wanted, but it looks natural. When I got out of the operating room, the anesthesiologist told me I was going to be one of the Wow's. I knew someone who had another procedure done by Dr. R and she was 100% satisfied, so that was important to me also."

"There's a reason why Dr. R is chosen by his peers as a Seattle top Dr. He is a consummate professional, and working at the medical tower of Overlake Hospital gave me complete peace of mind as I decided to have the surgery. Beyond being a top surgeon, Dr. R listened to and supported me as he helped guide my choice of size and style of breast implant insuring that I would receive the natural outcome I hoped for."

“Mommy Makeover - Bellevue”
Mommy Makeover
"Excellent care
Excellent bedside manner
Wonderful work
Dr. R is not only a wonderful, talented cosmetic surgeon. He truly is a one of a kind professional. Once I began seriously considering the mommy makeover, I did alot of research on the procedure, costs and the type of surgeon that I would trust to do this for me. In doing so, I was excited to find a surgeon with Dr. R's reputation and credentials near my home. Upon scheduling a consultation, I knew that I found the surgeon for me. It's very easy to fall in love with Dr. R and his staff. I was also happily surprised to find that his costs were reasonable - especially considering what he could be charging for his services."

“The Best Thing I've Ever Done for Myself - Bellevue, WA”
Breast Lift
"He is everything that you would want in a surgeon. His credentials are excellent, his work is beautiful, and his team is great. His operating facilities are very nice and you can tell that he and his staff pay attention to detail. He will make you feel comfortable and safe from start to finish. After leaving his office, I never felt bad about myself (I cannot say the same for another surgeon I visited). My results are everything I could have ever wished for. If you want the best, please choose Dr. R.
Update: It has been over 5 months since my operation and my progress has made me even happier that I chose Dr. Rand. My results are beautiful and natural. My scars are tiny, faded, and you'd have to look very hard to notice them. I have no doubt that Dr. Rand's incredible skill was instrumental in creating such nice scars. If you live in the Seattle area and you want breast surgery, I would urge you to visit Dr. Rand's office. I'd love for every woman considering surgery to be as happy as I am with her results."

“My Breast Lift and Implant Results Couldn't Have Been Better”
Breast Implants
"I would definitely, without a doubt, recommend my Dr. to anyone interested in a breast lift with an augmentation. He and his staff are very professional, but also very friendly. They really care about you and your well being. They make you feel important and comfortable at a not so comfortable time. An example would be the night of my surgery, he called my home to see how I was doing even though I had a follow up appointment with him the very next day. This staff is one of a kind, and if the day ever comes that I choose to have another procedure, they'll be the ones I call. -JB"

Chin Liposuction
"Dr. is extremely talented and has a great track record working on the neck for liposuction, neck lifts, and full facelifts. His surgical team is great, and they walk you through every step so you know in advance when new sounds or sensations are going to occur. His assistant will even hold your hand, which is surprisingly reassuring even if you've had minor surgery under local anesthetic."

"Dr. Rand and his staff exceeded all my expectations and were extremely professional. What won me over was the fact that Dr. Rand personally replied to my questions within 24 hrs. I never once felt like I was bothering them or asking silly questions. After my surgery, Dr. Rand also personally called to follow up with my recovery.
Dr. Rand did a wonderful job and I couldn't ask for anything more! I would definitely recommend Dr. Rand to all my friends and family. If I was planning to have another procedure, Dr. Rand would definitely be the only doctor I call upon."

“Best Breasts and Tummy - Bellevue, WA”
"Dr Rand and his team and kind, caring and professional. I felt as though I was treated as family. It was about me and what I wanted. They listened and helped me regain the body that had seen the changes motherhood and a previous surgery had created.
They were supportive and encouraging and answered any and all questions and concerns I had no matter how silly they seemed to me.
I was treated with warmth and respect through my entire care. The follow up I received was above and beyond what most offices would consider adequate.
I truly love the results I have and I feel like I have regained my true self again. I feel great and am confident!"

“I Feel Beautiful Again! Mommy Makeover a MUST! - Longview, WA”
Mommy Makeover
"Dr. R was the ideal surgeon! To help him figure out what I wanted for the breast augmentation, one of the first things he did was set a sheet of approx. twenty pictures in front of me. The pictures were of different breast size models in their bras. From the very natural looking to the bowling balls on the chest rediculous sizes. After choosing the most natural looking size he explained that the next step was to make sure we fit my chest width. He said it was like fitting a shoe to a foot. This was nothing like I had anticipated. In the consultation I placed a bra on, placed the proposed implants in the bra and put a tank top over that. It was very helpful in solidifying my choice in size. Because I live so far away they let me do my pre-op over the phone. The staff is so friendly and helpful! I have fallen in love with them all! The tummy tuck was pretty straight forward explainations, mostly post op questions and answers. There were pre-op preparations I had to do as well. Dr. R and the staff were very thorough with making sure I understood what was to happen. I felt very comfortable with them and the procedures. On the day of surgery Dr. R made his marks and asked ME if it looked right! While on the surgery table getting my I.V. place he put his hand on mine and reassured me that everything was going to turn out great. I am an RN and let me tell you....it is a rare thing to have a surgeon with that kind of bedside manner!! I feel as though he and his staff really cared about me and what I wanted. Not one time did I feel like a herded cow pushed though a line....we've all been to doctor's offices were the people were so disconnected they did not see you just another "patient". Not so here! I would cross states to go again if needed! I believe my longest waiting room time was like 5 min. Follow up appointments have been excellent! I have been able to get all of my questions answered and the patient rep Rose has been wonderful in helping with FMLA at work as well as any billing questions I had prior to surgery."

"Dr. R is one of the best plastic surgeons in the Seattle area and worth every penny. I went to multiple consultations with other surgeons that just left me confused but Dr. R is extremely professional and his confidence and manner put me at ease instantly. He is truly a surgeon that has the best interests of the patient in mind. I was nervous about the profile and size implant we selected together but put my faith in him and now I have the breasts that I've always wanted. He is truly gifted and I highly recommend him. Don't go cheap ladies, go for quality."
