How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I sorely needed a face lift, but was scared....

I sorely needed a face lift, but was scared. Scared of having elective surgery that as my internist said, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But, my face - in its sagging neck and lined lower face - impeded my ability to work - whether in fact, or my own projection.
Dr. Richards team brought me through the process elegantly. My fear vanished as the team explained with great detail the nuances of the process: preparation, surgery and recovery. They actually made it quite easy. The surgery went smoothly, reinforced by Dr. Richards’ artistry, and that it is anesthesia free. My face looks about 15-20 years younger – no more hiding my neck. The recovery is quite quick. And, a month later, at meetings and social events, I have a new confidence, new friends. Someone even said I look “hot.”
I cannot say enough about the team – each person excellent in their own responsibilities and all integrated together for smooth transitioning.

Given Dr. Richards' experience with all manner of cosmetic surgery, burn victims, and his all round genuine sensibility, I highly recommend Dr. Richards and the Cosmetic Surgery Associates – as offering a gold standard. His work is both medically superior and as a profound artist, able to restore a face so that it is, remarkably, as it once was. See ratings below:
