Joseph J. Hirschfeld, MD (retired)

Dr.Hirschfeld is a very skilled talented surgeon. He did a wonderful job with a lower blepharoplasty for me. Im very happy with my results. I will be going back again to see him for more work when I'm ready.

Dr. Hirschfeld did a great job, and was very attentive and caring through out the whole procedure. I found it refreshing that he was a straight shooter, and gave me realistic expectations. I would definitely recommend him.

Dr. H is absolutely amazing. He's smart, talented, and respectable. He uses his knowledge to guide you through your procedure and gives you realistic expectations and BEYOND delivers them. His staff is amazing; the nurses, front office staff, and every face you see while in there has a smile and positive attitude. If I could leave more stars I 200% would! Forever a family member of Bay Area Cosmetic Surgical Center!!!!!

When I reached my late 50s, my hereditary under-eye bags really puffed out and I could no longer stand to see the ever-present pouches. Dr. Hirschfeld provided excellent care before, during, and after my procedure. However, he can only do so much: the majority of care falls on the patient. If you follow his instructions, you will be happy with your results. Carve out the proper amount of time so you can recover in the privacy in your home (not the office).

I first met Dr Hirschfeld in 2013 after my Dermatologist recommended him for skin cancer surgery that was beyond his own skill set. From that first surgery to the last 2 most frequent surgeries he has been the consummate professional performing excellent work. In my eyes, he turns a procedure into an art form, and that speaks volumes in itself.
He has put together an excellent staff around him starting with Candice in front who is a pleasure to work with.
I can not recommend Dr. Hirschfeld highly enough.

At 60 years old, I had never before had any type of plastic surgery. I had contemplated breast reduction surgery for over 35 years, but never followed through because of my fear of plastic surgery. With aging came the usual neck, back and shoulder pain from my large, heavy breasts, and I also realized that this problem would only get worse with age. After searching for the right plastic surgeon, my husband and I decided to have a free consult with Dr. Hirschfeld. Within the first 10 minutes with Dr. Hirschfeld, we sensed that he was genuinely concerned with what is best for his patients, not just what they desire. We both felt very comfortable and confident with his expertise, vast experience, and straightforward honesty about the potential risks of plastic surgery. We were also very impressed by his very personable, professional and efficient staff--his receptionist, Candice and his nurse, Danielle. Dr. Hirschfeld advised us about the specific procedure he would recommend, and showed us several before/after photos of the results on other patients he had performed this surgery on. We both felt completely confident and I was put at ease about my surgery. I decided to go ahead with the surgery, and although I was a bit apprehensive in pre-op, once Dr. Hirschfeld walked in and spoke with me I was calm and confident to proceed with the surgery. Afterwards, both my husband and I are ELATED with the results. Dr. Hirschfeld had been very upfront about the scars that would result from the surgical procedures, and I am still dealing with some pain from some scars 4 months post-op. However, Dr. Hirschfeld recommended some scar repair gel, which I have been using and I am feeling improvements in pain reduction. Since having the breast reduction and lift surgery, I have felt relief in neck, back and shoulder pain. Also, I no longer need to wear underwire bras, so my even my ribcage thanks me! I give my highest praise and endorsement of Dr. Hirschfeld and his entire staff. Should my husband and I ever need any other type of plastic surgery, we know without a doubt who our surgeon will be!

I had the most incredible experience beginning with the consultation. Dr hirschfeld and his staff are warm and welcoming. The office environment is clean, neat, fresh, and organized. Dr hirschfeld asked appropriate questions related to my surgical requests, listened to me, explained thoroughly and kindly, and made me feel safe and secure from the very beginning. Surgery was performed in office in an accredited surgical operating room that was clean, neat, as well as aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. I had minimal bruising and pain and attribute a majority of that to having an educated and experienced surgeon like dr. Hirschfeld. My procedure was about a couple hours long and went smoothly. My anesthesiologist took very good care of me and i did not awake with nausea or vomiting, in fact i did not experience either at any point in my recovery. I am 8 days post op and feeling complete. Love Dr. Hirschfeld and his staff.

Got juvederm for my nasolabial folds. They were making me look tired and haggard and old. I was embarrassed to leave the house. Now they are unnoticeable and I feel so much more confident! I had no bruising, swelling or red marks at all. Those who know me just think I am suddenly happier and more rested. So worth it!
