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.

Dr. Chiu did a wonderful job with a filler on my face. I’ve been to other plastic surgeons For similar treatments, and my results with him were definitely the best. Very happy.

Dr Chui is wonderful, he is caring, very thorough and very talented. He has helped me gain so much more confidence with the procedure and recommendations that he has done thus far. I am grateful to have Dr Chui as my doctor and he has the patient's best interest as priority.

I went to Dr. Chiu for rhinoplasty. Right away, I noticed my nose was significantly crooked, it was difficult to breathe, it is stuck up like a pig, and there’s a bump. I had alar base reduction, and my nostrils are offensively unsymmetrical. He’s to arrogant to admit he does not have enough experience to be performing alar base reduction. When I noted the bump, he told me he didn’t touch the shaft of my nose just my tip and nostrils. I paid him over $11k for half/terrible surgery. He’s awful!

I had a perfect experience with rhinoplasty from Dr. Chiu. The results were very conservative and natural, exactly as I wanted. I am living with the best possible outcome of a surgery that can be very risky as far as results. Not to mention, the recovery post-surgery was much easier than expected: no bruising, no pain, and just a few days off to recover from the anesthesia. I would recommend anyone interested in getting a nose job to see Dr. Chiu first! Detailed examples, great advice. Thrilled!

Dr. Chiu was extremely attentive and patient with every question I had about my nonsurgical nose job. He took careful time to explain the procedure and followed up to make sure all was well. His facility is clean and very welcoming. His wife Sara is the first face you and completely puts you at ease with her kind disposition. I am beyond grateful and excited about the simple procedure that gave me the nose I've always wanted. I strongly recommend Dr. Chiu

Very professional & gentle. He has an amazing eye for aesthetics. His work is more conservative so the result is very natural looking which I like. Sarah is wonderful. I won't trust my face to anyone else.
