Best plastic surgeon - I cannot express how happy I am
I recently had a mini tummy tuck with him and I cannot express how happy I am with the results. It has only been 3 weeks and a half and I'm already loving the results. I can easily hide my scar wearing a tiny bathing suit! I will recommend him to all my friends and family. Also, her patient coordinator Laramie is the sweetest person!

World Class Customer Service!!! Best in Its Class!!!
I honestly don’t know where to start so I will give you a short background of my journey. I am a bariatric patient who had bariatric surgery in 2012 I lost 120 pounds and was left with a significant amount of loose skin. I decided to start looking into having a body lift for skin removal in certain areas of my body. I initially looked into going to Doctors in Miami Florida and even put a deposit down. After my husband doing some intense research about plastic surgeries in that
My Experience Was Beyond my Expectations.
I am highly satisfied, I got the results as I wanted. He is skilled, knowledgeable and respectful. He explained everything in detail. His office staff and his surgical coordinator are superb. I will go back to him without hesitation.
Best decision I made - I look better now than I did in my twenties
Although I was unlucky to receive a diagnosis of breast cancer, I was extremely lucky to have obtained Dr. Rao as my plastic surgeon. From our first meting Dr. Rao greeted with me care and compassion understanding the fear and anxiety I was experiencing without my expressing those feelings to him. The cosmetic outcome from the pending surgery was not foremost in my mind at this point in my treatment. Cancer is a scary diagnosis, the journey to healing has highs and lows but I
Dr. Rao is the Best!
Dr. Rao was very straightforward about options for various procedures, and he takes the time to answer your questions thoroughly. He was very personable and set me at ease the day of the procedure. He is a perfectionist and he will work with you to achieve the outcome that you are looking for. I highly recommend Dr. Rao!
J Plasma Results and Dr. Samir Rao Are Superb
Come see Dr. Samir Rao. He will listen . If you have an area that affects your self esteem, or need reconstruction, come see Dr. Rao. His surgical talents will make it worth your while, and his genuine kindness are apparent. His colleagues and staff are terrific make you feel special. I mostly had saggy, wrinkly leg skin and some dimpling for over a decade. I know this is not tragic, but it bothered me daily. I started buying long shorts which I hated. I am a healthful eater

Great Choice for Me!
I am at the beginning stages of the breast reconstruction process. I met Dr. Rao when I was deciding between a lumpectomy with a breast reduction or bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction to mitigate future risk. I was very afraid of the mastectomy and really had no idea the role that plastic surgery plays in the process. He sat down with me and really listened to my concerns and then showed me numerous photos of outcomes of plastic surgery with mastectomies so that I would
Dr. Rao is the only choice for reconstructive surgery
Going through breast cancer is life changing experience, even with the best support team. Having Dr. Rao as my plastic surgeon through this tumultuous time was one of the best decisions I ever made. He is the consummate professional and excellent at what he does. He makes you feel so comfortable and listened to. He is sensitive to what you are going through and has an excellent bedside manner. I had a few setbacks after my surgeries and he was with me the entire way. I am so impressed
