Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

Blown Away - Skill, Talent, Experience, Bedside Manner - 10/10 Amazing Experience
Do you want a TikTok doc who takes great before/after pics but has zero bedside manner, rushes through your appointments, and makes you look like a one-size-fits-all blow up doll? Or do you want a true surgeon and artist who works with your body, spends time connecting with you and setting your mind at ease, and meticulously restores you to your unique self? When you are under anesthesia and any one of a million things can go wrong, who do you want as your teammate, someone without board certifications or experience, who is more concerned with how the "after" photo will look on his instagram, than doing things properly and ensuring you are safe and proportional? Or a surgeon who has two board certifications, multiple hospital privileges, experience as an ER doctor, vascular surgeon-turned-plastic-surgeon, and decades and tens of thousands of surgeries under his belt? For me, as the mom of four, three with special needs, the choice was made based on ensuring I'd open my eyes again to see my kids. My safety was number one. But what surprised me most, is that Dr. Tsujimura is actually an artist and alchemist. He is truly talented and skilled at what he does. You get the best of both worlds: experience and artistry.
First, I don't write reviews. Not a fan of reviews in general. However, I feel compelled to tell my story because I understand how stressful this decision is (or was for me) and how I painstakingly researched for months and months to make my decision. If this review can help someone make their decision, then it was worth it. Deciding to do an elective non-essential surgery for me took some soul-searching. After four kids, full-size 7.5lb each twins, pumping/breast-feeding for multiple years, and my weight fluctuating, I had tons of loose skin, an extreme separation in my abs, hernias (which were found during surgery and stitched up), and just an overall "sad" looking body from everything I'd gone through. I couldn't wear pants normally because of the apron of skin. My belly button even frowned. Even after diet and exercise, it was impossible for my skin to snap back from all the stretch marks and laxity. And to be upfront, I am not a small woman. I am 5'11" and close to 225 lbs. I was not looking to be thin and Kardashian-like. I just wanted to be restored to who I used to be before my body had done so much hard work. I was ready to put it behind me and move on to the next phase of life with no regrets.
I decided to do this for me, and it was 100% the best decision I've ever made. I am only 3 weeks post op and still swollen, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. Was the recovery brutal and one of the hardest things I've ever done? YES. Was the result what I expected? NO. The result WELL EXCEEDED my expectations. Honestly, the result surprised me so much, there is a photo of my bandages coming off with my mouth literally agape and my jaw dropped open and I cried. I also threw up on one of the nurses and she went on business as usual without missing a beat. THIS is Dr. Tsujimura's team and they are STELLAR. From the top down, everyone has been sweet, gracious, down-to-earth, skilled, and treated me with respect and dignity. Even when I went in about a small question I had, Dr. T took probably one hour to answer all of my questions and personally walk me through my concerns.
What strikes me as most important about Dr. T is his heart and soul. He wants to be there. He has a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face EVERY. TIME. I. SEE. HIM. I have had experiences with different doctors where they would would talk golf over my gurney as I was being wheeled into the cold operating room, and who would walk in after I was put under. It's honestly terrifying to be put under, and even more anxiety inducing when nobody connects with you. Your final thoughts are of being scared. Of note, Dr. T sat at my side and locked eyes with me, making me smile and feel at-ease as the anesthetic kicked in. This really stuck with me. I told him at my last appointment how touched I was by that and his answer was that he did it because he had been on the other end and understood the importance of those small personal connections throughout the process. This is who you are getting. Someone whose mission in life - even to a spiritual level - is making people feel better about themselves. He's in it for the right reasons.
During my consult, Dr. T also had some recommendations that I had questions about. Rather than dismissing my opinion, he was firm but spoke to me as an equal. He has a way of setting you at ease with his ability to answer any questions from a scientific and experience-driven perspective. You never feel hustled, rushed, or dismissed. You feel educated, empowered, and confident.
I will reiterate that Dr. Tsujimura has beyond exceeded my expectations. He has taken a very emotionally- and anxiety-charged life event and made it feel safe, positive, and valuable. This is a big investment - monetarily, emotionally, physically - and you are setting aside the time and the energy to do something for you. I would 10/10 recommend Dr. Tsujimura, no questions asked. I am blown away.
