Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I trust Dr. Daw with my life.
I had a tummy tuck with Dr. Daw, I ended up having a CT scan following the surgery by another doctor who complimented how fantastic the inside of my tummy looked. I'm even more pleased with the scar on the outside, you can't even see it. Total perfection inside and out!!! If you are looking for a perfect surgeon look no further. Dr. Daw is the best!!!

Dr. Daw is an A+ doctor for cosmetic surgery and liposuction. I wish I could give more stars. He is kind, knowledgeable and the end result is amazing. I consulted with many cosmetic surgeons before I found Dr. Daw and I will never go anywhere else. He isn’t arrogant and he doesn’t promise you results that are unrealistic. He doesn’t try to upsell you on a zillion procedures you don’t need done (and he often has a suggestion for a more cost-effective way to accomplish the result that you were hoping to achieve.) He doesn’t employ gimmicky techniques that “may work in a year or so.” He delivers above and beyond what you were expecting in a procedure. I have done multiple surgeries with Dr. Daw. He is accessible and the results look natural, but flawless. He has taken at least ten years off my aging and I look forward to continuing to "grow younger" with Dr. Daw for many years.

Got rhinoplasty from Dr. Daw and the result is horrific. My nose looks worse than it did before. He is the only one who thinks it looks good. At times I don't even want to look in the mirror. Definitely regret having rhinoplasty done by him.

Dr Daw has excellent skills. He recently removed scar tissue and reconstructed my left ear. I get compliments every day from friends and family on how great it looks now.

Dr. Daw is an outstanding surgeon and has excellent bedside manners. He listens and the results are mind blowing. No one in my immediate circle know I have had a facelift. They keep staring and asking if I lost weight or changed my hair. They commented I look rested. This is what you want to hear. You don't want to come out of surgery looking like you were in a wind storm. I have taken 10 years off my face and it is not extremely painful after surgery. Don't wait.

Dr. Daw has changed my life. I was apprehensive about looking fake after my facelift but the opposite happened. I look like me but a younger me. My friends tell me how great I look but don't know I have had surgery. This is a sign of a great surgeon. My self-esteem was low and I couldn't look in the mirror. Now, I feel like a million dollars. My husband is so proud of me when we go out. His assistant Ms. Andersen was kind and made the whole process go smoothly. Thank you Dr. Daw!!!

I had skin grafts performed on my nose after removal of a skin cancer. Dr. Daw's work was flawless. If I had a need for plastic surgery in the future, he would be my first choice. His nursing staff, both in the office and the hospital were first class and very attentive.

Truly a GREAT experience! I never liked my nose since being a little girl and wanted to change it but was always afraid.. Finally at the age of 35 I made an appointment. The moment I walked in and was greeted by a friendly staff my nerves were put to ease. I just had a good feeling. After meeting Dr Daw I knew I could have pure confidence in him. He took the time to listen to what I didn’t like about my nose and answered all my questions. I couldn’t be happier with my results! This Dr is superb!

I made an appointment to see Dr. Daw for a very painful keloid scar that developed after pancreatic surgery. The open appointments were so far out I had to wait months for this appointment. They called to cancel because of a group of breast cancer patients and so my new appointment was another waiting game. Today I went to my appointment and was told my appointment was canceled again. I was told they have to prioritize and this could very well happen again. (I need more space, continued)

Terrible experience. He performed a rhinoplasty on me and the outcome is horrendous. My nose looks way worse than before and he wouldn't return my calls or emails and didn't care about my results. Very unprofessional and I would never use him. BEWARE.
