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.

Gaslighter. Negligent. Rude. Flippant.
Dr. Khalifeh performed a very routine mole removal on my leg that went horrifically wrong due to his NEGLIGENCE. The vicryl sutures never dissolved properly causing me to go into the hospital for a month for SEPSIS. When I REPEATEDLY told dr khalifeh I felt itching and burning inside my wound he laughed it off and gaslit me, saying that’s what the normal healing process felt like. He never tried to take responsibility and just kept prescribing course after course of topical antibiotics that weren’t treating my infection. I then was admitted into the hospital, had to have a PICC line surgically implanted, had to have 17 wound debriedments, and was on IV antibiotic vancomycin for three months. I would literally give this doctor negative stars and would seriously recommend no one ever go to him if they value their health and safety. I’m grossed out by this doctors flippancy. 0/5 stars

I had an awake mini facelift (neck & lower face) done. The results look very natural and I am very pleased with the outcome. Dr. Kalifeh is a skilled surgeon with an artistic eye. I appreciated his calm and caring interactions during my visits and the procedure. The office staff are also helpful and friendly.

Let me start by saying I am please with my results, I got awake smart-liposuction on my abdomen and flanks. I went in there with realistic expectations and Dr. Khalifeh did a good job, I have noticed a bit unevenness on one on my hips though but nothing noticeable and he explained it could be due to my bone structure. I decided to get the procedure done after I have lost all the pregnancy weight but those areas won’t improve not matter how much I worked out. I wish I could give four in half starts but only because there were a few things I wish I was told by the Dr or his staff for example when to stop wearing a garment or a few other things I experienced that weren’t stated on the documents I signed and that I found out doing my own research were very common after getting my procedure. But other than that they are all very professional and they work on a very clean environment. Like I said I’m very satisfied with my results and thank you for giving me my confidence back.

Dr. Khalifeh and his staff are absolutely amazing! He was the surgeon that came in to help my daughter in the emergency room when my daughter cut the tip of her finger off. It was a severe cut and we were preparing to tell my very girly four year old that she would not have a nail on her finger. We were beyond excited to see that when all the stitches and bandages came off she not only had a nail on her finger, it looks As if nothing had happened! Dr. Khalifeh and his staff were also very patient with my extremely scared and nervous daughter. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!

For 5 years I contemplated getting a mini arm lift but the scheduling always seemed to be an obstacle. I had consulted two other surgeons before deciding on Dr. Khalifeh. What set him apart was the ease of communicating, his confidence in what could be achieved and his honest opinion of the necessity or not of another procedure contemplated. I am extremely happy with the results. I had no complications and the healing process proceeded as expected. At 60 days post-op I am amazed to find the scar to be barely noticeable when I lift my arm so soon. Dr. Khalifeh ensured the scar would be carefully hidden and he did not disappoint. I am thrilled with the results and found Dr. Khalfeh’s team to be very kind and helpful

Dr Khalifeh is an Excellent surgeon who cares about his patients greatly. He listens and has excellent bedside manners. I couldn’t be happier with my results and knowing that I’m in great hands made me even more comfortable with my procedure. Also, Dr. Khalifeh has the most caring support staff, whether in the front office or staff that assist him with surgeries.

Dr Khalifeh preformed a tummy tuck on me about 6 weeks ago and I could not be more pleased with the results or the care that I have received! It took me about a year to decide on a surgeon but once I saw his before and after photos and read up on him, I knew that I had finally decided to follow through and had found the right surgeon to do the job. Not only is Dr Khalifeh gentle, kind and accessible when needed but his is a doctor and an artist of exceptional quality and I highly recommend him

Dr. Khalifeh is patient, knowledgeable and an artist when it comes to sculpting the human body. I had a tummy tuck, liposuction on my flanks, breast lift and augmentation. It was the best money I have ever spent. If you are looking to transform your body you need to meet with Dr. Khalifeh. You will be happy you did.
