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.

An artist who gives natural looking results
I have seen Dr Olding for 4 years. Simply put, Dr Olding is the best at what he does. 1. Injectors make all the difference. As someone who has had 'tox' done with 5 other providers in DC, I am blown away by how much longer Dr Olding's treatment lasts. Also, he makes me look refreshed but not stiff. 2. Filler. Dr Olding is not going to put filler in your face where it doesn't belong (no big overfilled duck lips). He will use it to replace volume lost, or to improve symmetry. You might even be surprised where he suggests you put it. In my case, he helped correct asymmetry I wasn't aware of and my face is more balanced now. 3. Rhinoplasty. My nose lost fat and collagen with age and revealed a crooked septum and slight dorsal hump that was not visible in my youth. Dr Olding gave me my old nose back, but much better! My results give my face better harmony without screaming 'nose job!' and I'm so pleased.

Excellent physician
Dr Olding explained in detail the procedure itself and after thorough evaluation he advised against doing the procedure. I trust him to be honest and as always follow his recommendations.

Great doctor and team
I had my first consultation with Dr Olding regarding a facelift and was both impressed and reassured. He was very direct and honest as well as compassionate. In a nutshell, Dr Olding was wonderful as was his office team who were all professional and super caring to the person. I feel well prepared for my procedure at the start of next year as I need to lose a bit of weight first!

Dr. Olding is a masterful plastic surgeon
Dr. Olding is a highly talented plastic surgeon. He came highly recommended to me and I highly recommend him to you. I just had a facelift, neck lift and chin augmentation with him and I have never felt so beautiful. Not only did he take 35 years off my face, but he knew just what to do to create the most beautiful, natural me - not overfilled, overdone, or pulled. I had spoken to other surgeons before I went to him. They were ready to execute what I asked for. Dr. Olding was different. He looked at my face and could immediately see what needed to be done to improve my looks, things I had not thought about. He was a partner from start to finish and I am sooooo glad I trusted him and his recommendations. I am so very grateful to him. His staff is incredible as well. It was a great experience from start to finish. No pain and fast healing. If you want work done, don’t hesitate. He is your man. You won’t regret it.

Wonderful surgeon. Takes time to listen. Performed liquid rhinoplasty in his office and I am very pleased. Great assistants as well. I will never go anywhere else for treatment.

I highly recommend Dr. Olding. We first met when I consulted with him about liposuction. He told me to lose more "baby" weight (I'd given birth recently) before having the procedure. Impatient, I had the liposuction done by another plastic surgeon and was not completely satisfied. So when I wanted to have eye surgery (underage bags removed and upper lids lifted) in 2009 and a lower face/neck lift and chin implant in 2019, I went to Dr. Olding and couldn't be happier with the results.

Dr. Michael Olding is honest and upfront. He will tell you that he is going to make you look natural and not overdone. If you are looking for that kind of look, go elswhere. His pedigree is beyond incredible: ranked in the nation's top 1% of cosmetic surgeons by US News & World Report and is the Chief of Plastic Surgery at The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. His accomplishments (over 20 years) are so numerous. I am beyond thrilled with my new look and choice.

I had loose skin around my lower ab area from carrying weight in my teen years. My skin never snapped back (waited nearly 5 years), so tummy tuck was the best option for me. I'm 27, m, and active. Now you can see my ab muscles and the contours in my stomach area. I obviously work for the abs (strength training) and keep a lean diet (little fat), but he reconstructed the skin so they could be revealed. He's to the point and very experienced. His lead nurse, Beth, is phenom and caring. No regrets.

Dr. Olding and his staff, specifically Beth McCann, are absolutely wonderful! If you are looking for a surgeon who is knowledgeable, professional and honest, I would highly recommend Dr. Olding. He made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience (consultation through 1-year follow-up) and I could not be happier with the results!

Dr. Olding performed a face, neck and eyelift on me. The result is very natural and a testament to Dr. Olding's surgical skill and artist's eye. Throughout the process (pre-op, op, and post-op) Dr. Olding and his staff were caring and supportive. Dr. Olding explained what procedures would work best, what they involved, why the were a better choice and what to expect. Post-op he carefully monitored my rapid recovery.
