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've known Dr. Vonu for years and have referred several of my friends to him. He's knowledgeable, experienced and professional. Dr. Vonu is a good listener and will make recommendations that are reasonable. I had consultations with four providers years ago before choosing Dr. Vonu. My choice was based on his years of experience and bedside manner and I will continue to follow him for any issues in the future.

Dr. Vonu is the BEST! I have had him finish two Mohs surgeries that I had for skin cancer and you can hardly see where he did the work (side of my face and on the side of my nose). And, he just did a third finish of another Mohs surgery on the top of my head. He is a professional, is very knowledgeable and caring. His staff is top-notch also.

I am in my middle 60's and have spent all my life taking care of family and others. Rather selfless. When I got a little inheritance, I decided it was time to take care of me and I knew of Dr. Vonu's reputation. He has done an eye lift and later a tummy tuck as I had lost a great amount of weight. I could not be more pleased. Very professional, a sense of humor, but, most importantly, an eye for detail and the wisdom and experience to deliver the best outcomes possible. Plus, the office staff is top notch! Let's see...what can I have next?

Dr. Vonu was very professional and personable. He transformed my body and helped reassure me that I was going to get the results I wanted even after surgery. He takes the time to talk to you and really get to know what you want what procedures are best for your body and works a plan from there. I will definitely go back for more work!

Dr. Vonu is someone that I would highly regard if you are having any procedure done. He is very professional, has a wonderful bedside manner and made me feel at ease as I was going in for my surgery. I also have two family members that chose him for their procedures in the past. I am very happy with my results! I will be a repeat patient in the future. Thank you Dr. Vonu!

Doctor Vonu is incredible. He keeps me looking young. He has done a facelift for me and breast implants and every 4 months he does Botox injections in unsightly face wrinkles for me. He also has a great bedside manner. The people in his office are all a-one!

I am a woman in my mid 70s who wanted a fresh look. I chose Dr. Vonu because of his excellent reputation. At my first appointment, we discussed my options. Together we decided on a laser resurfacing around my mouth and a mini facelift. I am extremely satisfied. The results are fantastic and I look 10 to 15 years younger. In addition to being an outstanding surgeon, he is professional, kind, competent, and caring. I strongly recommend him.

Wonderful doctor and practice!! I would highly recommend Dr. Vonu and his staff as he did an excellent job on my eye lift and laser wrinkle removal surgery around my mouth. He is an artist in the most caring way. Several people I know have also used Dr. Vonu and all have been extremely happy with their outcomes. His staff is friendly and caring and always available for questions and concerns. They are the best!!

Dr. Vonu was recommended to me by a friend as top in his field. "The only one" to go see were her words. I had a lower face and neck lift along with lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) plus removal of a fatty cyst on my leg. No scars are evident. He is an artist and extremely precise. I am a patient for life.

My experience with Dr. Vonu has been nothing but excellent. After a major weight loss he did a tummy tuck, breast lift, lower body lift, inner thigh lift and an incredible upper arm lift with a minimum of scarring and pain. Fabulous results on all. Later, he did a lower face and neck lift and a lower eye lift. I can tell you that he is a master of his craft and a true artist in the field of plastic surgery. I will be 64 this year and my age is always guessed in the 40's. Rhonda Brogden (Stahmer)

Dr. Vonu seemed in a hurry and somewhat irritated by something the day of my Mohs cancer removal reconstructive surgery. Very fast reconstruction resulted in very scared, bumpy appearance on my nose. My 2nd skin cancer reconstruction on my nose, with this being the first by Dr. Vonu, and I would NOT recommend Dr. Vonu for anyone who must have cancer removal reconstructive surgery.
