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.

Amazing Surgical Experience
I found Dr. Taranow on real self and scheduled a free consultation for liposuction. Dr. T is very knowledgeable, approachable, and very personable. The exam was very thorough and he gave me honest and realistic expectations. I never felt like I was rushed or persuaded into anything.
I came back a few weeks later for a second consultation and that’s we went over the procedure in detail and any questions or concerns I had. I signed all the paperwork and gave my deposit. Everything was smooth sailing. His surgical coordinator Bea is amazing. Anytime I called with a question I never felt like I was being rushed at all. Bea is so sweet and very knowledgeable in this area so she always reassured me.
The day of my surgery Dr T was amazing! He knew how terrified I was of the anesthesia (more so than the surgery itself) and he made me feel so calm and made me laugh to take my mind off of things. The anesthesiologist was extremely sweet and also had amazing bedside manner. Dr. T held my hand the whole time while the anesthesiologist was setting up my IV. The next thing I remember was waking up covered in a warm blanket. I was probably in recovery for about an hour, maybe less. Dr. T and Bea monitored my vitals while also giving me soda and crackers until I was ready to go.
When I got home I rested most of the day but I also did get up and walk around from time to time. Dr T called me that night to check on me and he called me the following day as well. He provides patients with his cell number so you could also reach out with any concerns.
I’m about 5 weeks out now. I still have swelling which is normal and expected, but I am loving my results. I will try to upload some pics.
Side note: if you’re someone like me who suffers from low blood pressure, vasovagal, orthostatic hypotension/intolerance I cannot stress this enough please stay hydrated if you decide to have surgery. I am prone to this but after the surgery it was 10xworse! I felt like I was gonna faint every time I got up and it was because I wasn’t hydrating enough.
