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.

Traumatic experience
Dr. Hatef put in the wrong size breast implants. They were extremely hard and didn't move at all. I had a hollowed out space in my chest above the implants that kept me from being able to wear a bathing suit or even a V neck shirt. He also ruined my stomach. He used liposuction in order to fill in around my breasts with fat. There was no care for how this fat was removed at all. I had weird looking lopsided rolls of fat left when he was finished. As far as the surgery itself, he didn't come to the hospital to release me like he was supposed to and I almost had to stay another night. After he took the tubing out, I got a terrible infection. I was in the hospital for several days. He said he would redo the implants but at that point I no longer trusted him. I was traumatized and depressed for a long time before finding a wonderful surgeon who repaired my breasts and stomach.

Needed corrective surgery
His surgery failed to fix my nasal problem, he instead performed unnecessary rhinoplasty procedure making my breathing even worst. Last year I had corrective nose surgery.

Awful Result
I had a breast lift + implant exchange with Dr. Hatef. The surgery itself came with its own set of complications, including another trip to the OR and a wound VAC, but the final result is much worse. My breasts are way smaller, saggier, uneven, and one has a disfiguring, painful scar. Even the areolas don’t match. At my 6 week check-up, he walked in and said, “yeah, we’ll have to redo these.” I was so desperate, that I agreed. He said his office would call me to schedule it, but I never heard from anyone again. My revision surgery is scheduled soon with another doctor. Additionally, I’m ashamed to say that before my breast surgery, he removed my buccal fat which is also uneven (because he took too much from one side) and resulted in an infection.  My advice is to ask around, talk to people in the beauty industry, ask other physicians and women who have had plastic surgery.

Dr. Hatef and his staff are absolutely wonderful. He did a rhinoplasty for me and I couldn't be happier with the results! He was very professional and put me at ease during my pre-op appointment and right before the surgery. His staff is all so welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Hatef and I will definitely come back if I ever decide to get more work done!

Dr. Hatef did a breast augmentation for me and I love the results. He and his staff are warm, welcoming and caring. I even went back in twice to look at different sizes and his staff helped walk me through it all to make the best decision. If I ever wanted anything else done to look my best I wouldn't go anywhere but here.

Dr. Hatef, I can't thank you enough for what you did for me. I love your staff, and how comfortable you all made me feel. My health was your concern, and you made sure that I was taken care of. I was in urgent need, because of health issues, and you and your staff were in my corner, all the way! You also listened to my concerns, and TALKED to me! That says a lot about a person, especially a doctor! Dr. Hatef was amazing, and every person in your office! Thank you, again!

There are not enough words to describe my experience with Dr. Hatef. If you are looking for a professionally educated person that knows what he is doing I absolutely recommend him. Since I requested information about my procedure he made sure to answer all of my questions and more. If I could give him 10 stars I would. All the good from his office are just so awesome as him. Big thumbs up to you all.

Dr. Hatef is a very caring and dedicated plastic surgeon. My surgery had to be performed in a hospital due to my airway difficulties. Without hesitation but with caution, he successfully removed my breast implants that were a major pain source and complication to my health. I will use him again, if necessary, and DO highly recommend him.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Hatef for a breast augmentation. I had mine done 9 months ago and am SO HAPPY with my results. I was hesitant to get the surgery done because of the healing process and the way they would look afterward. Dr. Hatef listened to what I wanted, concerns I had and was thorough beginning to end. The surgery went great, the healing process went well and my breasts are symmetrical. I am so glad I went to him! He is an amazing surgeon and the ladies in the office are so sweet!

Dr. Hatef did my facelift. My results are without a doubt the best I have ever seen. I had cared for a very ill parent for many years and had let myself go. The facelift surgery took me from looking like a very exhausted, run down - mid sixty year old to a really beautiful, mid to late 40 years. I wish I could upload my before and after pics for all to see the difference. Dr Hatef has trained at the best hospitals and with the best plastic surgeons all over the world and his results are reflective of this high level of training. I will never be able to thank Dr. Hatef for giving me my beautiful result. Thank you Dr. Hatef you are the most talented, skilled plastic surgeon and it is without hesitation I recommend you to others.

I cant say enough great things about Dr. Hatef. He is extremely thorough and has taken years off my face. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to achieve great aesthetics. I always see him for my injections, he is the only one I trust with my face. lately we have been doing laser genesis which has done wonders for my adult acne and fine lines. People are constantly complimenting my skin and I owe it all to Dr. Dan
