If I could give Dr. Casas and her staff more than 5 stars, I would. While this review is for breast implants, I’ve also been a patient for 15+ years for a reason and have had other treatments including laser, fillers, etc. In all situations, Dr. Casas has provided expertise and guidance beyond what I could imagine. There is never a rush to come to a decision on a procedure and she thoroughly explains all options and outcomes. In my most recent situation, she noticed that one implant had taken on a unique shape. After her exams and MRI it was determined that my old implants had a rupture. She fit me into the schedule immediately, walked me through all options and provided me with a detailed pre and post op plan to ensure success. Without Dr. Casas I would have never known there was a rupture. Her attention to detail is meticulous. My husband came along to appointments and she took the extra time to explain my situation and how we would move forward. She also “trained” him on how to care for me afterward to ensure a successful recovery. There is no other plastic surgeon like Dr. Casas. She is thorough, a perfectionist and has always provided honest assessments regarding my treatment interests. Would also say it’s very refreshing to walk into a surgeons office with the same staff in place for 15yrs. They know your name, your procedures and history with the practice. This entire group of ladies are experts who have always gone the extra mile to make me comfortable in and out of office. Hard to find this sort of care anywhere.
Dr. Casas has been my plastic surgeon for over 17 years — she performed my original breast augmentation and most recently, my implant exchange. She is a true perfectionist and unlike most surgeons who simply perform the surgery and send you on your way, Dr. Casas is involved in every detail from start to finish. Working with her takes commitment. She expects her patients to participate fully in the process — following specific nutrition guidelines before and after surgery, taking vitamins, using creams, and even customizing bras and taping techniques to ensure the breasts heal naturally and stay in perfect position. There are many follow-up appointments, but each one serves a purpose. She monitors every stage of healing and makes precise adjustments along the way. Yes, it’s a lot of work — but it’s absolutely worth it. My results look and feel completely natural, and I know that’s because of her dedication and meticulous care. Even after moving out of state, I still returned to her for my implant exchange. That’s how much I trust her skill and commitment. Dr. Casas truly goes above and beyond for her patients, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Significant weight loss left me with upper arms that I found embarrassing to the point of refusing to wear even short sleeves. As a patient that is older and with some additional medical risks, I was intrigued that Dr. Casas performed the surgery without requiring a general anesthetic. After reviewing her pre- and post-op photos, I decided to have her perform a brachioplasty. It was one of the best decisions of my life! From my initial consultation to the extensive post-operative care, she and her staff exceeded my expectations and went beyond the usual standard of care. Dr. Casas spent over an hour with me during our initial consultation. She is a natural educator and thoroughly explained the procedure, her pre-surgery regimen, and post-surgery requirements. My surgery was done under a local anesthetic, with sedation, and I slept through the entire procedure. The follow-up care is rigorous, with appointments two to three times per week to ensure proper healing, and minimize scarring. Her staff is knowledgeable and professional, and most importantly, friendly and caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Casas and her practice for anyone considering making this type of investment in yourself. I love my results and will absolutely be wearing sleeveless tops next summer!
I came to Dr Casas after I had a surgery to repair my upper lip (half of my lip was bitten off in a dog attack). The surgeon I saw was in another state and although the surgery went well .. recovery was brutal. One of the complications was severe contracture. Dr Casas was able to assess and provide relief ON THE SAME DAY I saw her!!! She taught me a technique to soften and massage the contracture. Several months later - the contracture is completely resolved. She - and her staff - are truly the kindest people you could imagine. She is knowledgeable and professional and does not rush you in any way. I would trust her to do any procedure. This is a doctor you can have complete confidence in because she delivers AND she cares.
Dr. Casas and her staff are very caring and thorough. Everyone in the office gets to know the patients and they have wonderful follow through and follow up. Jenina makes the experience more comfortable with facial massaging techniques as you need them, Jenny makes sure you can get in at convenient times and Dr Casa is very experienced and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them!
For years my turkey neck made me feel embarrassed, self-conscious, and severely affected my self esteem. Dr. Casas thoroughly explained the procedure, and answered all my questions and concerns. The surgery went well and her post op care was amazing. She called me on the weekend to ensure I was doing well and closely followed up with me leading the weeks after the procedure. I continue to go to her for all my facial injections for the past 20 years, and she never hesitates to tell you as it is, quenches any unrealistic expectations, and her treatments always result in a natural look that no one can guess I get injections/fillers. I fully trust her with her recommendations. There are many many plastic surgeons, but many are out to get your money. She is not like that. She is a rarity and I’m so fortunate to have her as my doctor.
I cannot recommend Dr. Casas highly enough for anyone considering breast reduction surgery. From the very beginning, Dr. Casas demonstrated exceptional care and compassion. She was always available to answer questions and provided outstanding support throughout my recovery. Even when I was out of the country, Dr. Casas went above and beyond by FaceTiming me to address any concerns I had, ensuring I was healing properly. Her dedication to her patients and her willingness to be accessible whenever needed truly set her apart. Thanks to her expertise and attentive care, my healing process was remarkably smooth and efficient. If you’re looking for a skilled, empathetic surgeon, Dr. Casas is undoubtedly the best choice.
Dr. Casas is the best of the best. Have been going to her for many years.I recently got Scultpra and am very happy with the results. She is always very knowledgeable and she keeps me looking amazing !
I have had an outstanding experience with Dr. Casas. She has followed up with me on a yearly basis every year after my surgery- which was 23 years ago. I don’t know of another surgeon who offers that level of care. Last year I needed to have a breast biopsy and consulted with Dr. Casas. She was extremely helpful and reassuring. I found out that Dr. Casas had even trained my surgeon, who has the highest regard for her as well.
I’ve always been insecure about my inverted nipples. I spent 30 years not knowing that they could be corrected. I did some research and found that Dr. Casas provided a procedure to correct them. I was nervous, but Dr. Casas and her staff were incredible. They make you feel comfortable and are easy to communicate with and schedule. Dr. Casas did a beautiful job with surgery and I am now a year out from having them corrected. I cannot recommend Dr. Casas enough. I plan to go back to her should I decide to have any other cosmetic work done. This is how all doctors offices should be. Friendly, easy to get a hold of, flexible scheduling, great communication, comfortable setting, and a real sense of care. 10/10 will use again!
