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.

A doctor you can truly trust.

It has been a year and my results have been spectacular! It’s hard to believe my synmastia could be corrected and look so natural. Throughout my recovery I was advised by Vanessa who always gave the best advice for a perfect outcome, frankly, the follow-up I received has been stellar.
There aren’t enough words to describe Dr. Chao, he is a perfectionist for sure. He thought one more tiny stitch would make my great result even better, he did it in office and didn’t charge extra. Doctors like that don’t exist anymore!
Dr. James Chao is such a skilled plastic surgeon and also a wonderful person. I only wish I had known about him 20 years ago, I wouldn’t have lived with my problem breasts for so long.

Beyond my Expectations

I had a huge synmastia problem with capsular contraction. From the first visit I knew Dr Chao was the only Dr who could solve my problem. He listened carefully and explained the options clearly. I had to see him several times and he was always patient and caring.
His surgery team is as professional as he is; the surgery went smoothly, I was pampered entire time.
My results are beyond my wildest dreams! He truly performed a reconstruction that looks like I never had a problem. The incisions are so fine, almost invisible.
Dr Chao and his entire team are wonderful. I could not praise him enough, he is a Godsend!
