Highly recommend Potomac Plastic Surgery. Did Botox with Amanda NP great experience very knowledgeable. The best staff! Extremely satisfied with my results.
Superb staff and excellent doctor. He knows his stuff. He will not treat you unless you need it. Went to him for under eye filler his work is really good. He also refers you to his network of other doctors if needed. Before and after added for reference. If you are going to do filler go for the best.
I recently saw Dr. Chaboki for a rhinoplasty and am so thrilled with the result! From start to finish Dr. Chaboki answered all of my questions clearly, and addressed all of my concerns, in-person and virtually. Both Janet and Lauren from the office were as kind as can be and were super helpful walking me through every step since I reached out in Oct of 2020. Further, I've dealt with breathing problems and terrible allergies for so long, which led me to look for an ENT/Plastic Surgeon to help correct the issue. After looking throughout the entire DC/MD/VA area, I landed on Dr. Chaboki, and can confidently say it was the best choice. My breathing has completely improved, and I can sleep better than ever before. Dr. Chaboki had a calm manner throughout the entire process, and is truly remarkable at what he does. I think I said I loved the result about 20 times as soon as he took off the splint. I truly do love it. Oftentimes, you read about scary stories or mishaps when it comes to this type of surgery, but so far everything has been perfect, and I feel so lucky. Potomac Plastic Surgery is top notch. Thank you so much to Dr. Chaboki for the work you did!
I've come here twice now for varying reasons (masseter botox and a liquid rhino) and each time I felt welcomed and had a pleasurable experience. Dr. Chaboki is very patient and answers any and all questions thrown his way, he has never pushed procedures/suggestions that I didn't personally inquire about, he walks you through the procedure as he does his work to make sure you're okay/liking the work so far. Tonya, who is at the front desk, is also very kind and so nice. She answers all your questions as well, she relays price ranges for procedures openly which I appreciate here very much. This office has a very nice staff and welcoming which makes this nerve wracking experience much easier to deal with which I appreciate. (and of course the work Dr. Chaboki does is great as well, I'm very pleased with the results of my visits there and can see myself returning as long as I'm able).
Dr. Chaboki and his staff provided a professional, friendly, stress-free experience for my mole removal (cheek). He, Amelia, and Tonya always kept me informed and were eager to answer any questions - you will never feel ignored or patronized. 5 months later and I'm very happy with the minimal scarring.
I had an extremely smooth and stress-free experience with Dr. Chaboki and his amazing staff . It has now been almost 2 months since I had surgery on my nose/deviated septum to improve overall breathing. I can already say without a doubt that my breathing has improved and the surgery itself was close to painless. Recovery has also been very smooth. After the cast removal, I was back to doing most everyday activities after 1-2 weeks. The swelling went down significantly in the first 3 weeks, and I would say I still have about 10% left in the tip as I have thicker skin. However, this amount has been unnoticeable to my family. I'm very happy with the progress so far. It's also worth mentioning again that his staff are all very kind and professional. I've been in contact with Amelia since my consultation and she has been so patient and thorough in answering any/all of my questions; as well as assisting me with paperwork. All in all, I would highly recommend Potomac Plastic Surgery (Dr. Chaboki and his staff) to anyone seeking a rhinoplasty or improvement to their nasal breathing.
I'd recommend Dr. Chaboki to anyone. I went to several surgeons before deciding to undergo my procedure with Dr. Chaboki. Three months later I'm so happy with my decision! I wasn't 100% which procedures were right for me, and Dr. Chaboki's recommendations made the most sense. I didn't feel like I was being pushed into anything. I love my results! The procedure wasn't as difficult as expected, and the recovery process went exactly as he described.
Its been five months since my surgery and I'm very pleased with the results. Dr. Chaboki is an extremely skilled surgeon, very professional and always answered all of my questions during my healing process.
Dr. Chaboki and his staff are amazing! Maggie and Amelia made me feel super comfortable during my Botox injections. I will definitely be back.
I’ve been seeing to Dr. Chaboki for years, starting from before he opened his own, current practice. There’re two positive qualities of his, among the many, that I’d like to highlight. First, he’s a board-certified otolaryngological surgeon. I believe he branched out to performing cosmetic injections to maximize his “down time” from surgery to expand his business. Here’s what’s important - I’ll always trust him over a dermatologist, who’s commonly not a board certified surgeon, when it comes to having needles stuck in my face and not hit the wrong nerves! (Though not necessary, I’ll always choose a surgeon over a dermatologist to inject my face - as long as it’s an option.) Second, he’s very chill, especially for a surgeon. When interacting with him, you’ll see how extremely easygoing he is - not arrogant at all despite his qualifications. Plus, he doesn’t push sales on you. He might recommend new procedures but won’t be pushy about it. I’m a very happy customer, and hope my review helps with any prospective customer who’s on the fence. Not to mention that his office management team (Amelia and Tonya) is extremely friendly. Cheers!

Dr. Chaboki is honest and talented. He knows what he is doing and will actually tell you if he doesn't think you need a procedure. He is also willing to answer questions and to spend as much time as necessary with you. I've been to him numerous times over the course of several years, and my experience has been consistently positive.
I have previously had dermal filler elsewhere (two other respected board-certified plastic surgeons in the area), and it was extremely painful and left me looking like I had been socked in the face for a week each time I did it. I bruise easily and figured that was the price I paid for deliberately sticking needles in my face. However, the last time I had more significant complications, which is how I found my way to Dr. Chaboki. At the time he convinced me not to do anything that could make the situation worse and to wait things out, and he's convinced me to hold off on other filler for several years running.
Well...he finally did a small amount of filler, and it looks great. Minimal pain, minimal swelling, and I was able to walk into a meeting an hour later with no issue. Same with the Botox...I usually bruise with other injectors, but not here. Since this is not my first rodeo, I can tell you this kind of result takes real skill.
After what happened to me several years ago, I take a while to trust someone, but I trust Dr. Chaboki. I even brought a relative to him from out of town when she needed a potentially major skin graft on her face. Again, he was patient and honest, and spent a ton of time answering our numerous questions. Highly recommend.

I came into Dr. Chaboki's office to discuss my options for a Rhinoplasty procedure to improve the profile of my nose after a bad nose break resulted from a soccer injury a few years back. Dr. Chaboki did a great job outlining my options for me and appropriately setting exceptions. In the end, I ended up committing to the Rhinoplasty as well as Septoplasty and Turbinate Reduction to help improve my breathing & appearance. All of this work was done in the same procedure, and I can say today that my nose looks great and breathing is much improved. Dr. Chaboki was very thoughtful and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chaboki to anyone considering similar procedures, and I plan on coming back for follow up procedures as well!

I had chin implant with Dr. Chaboki, and he is very genuine and caring. The procedure went smoothly, and the result turned out very natural. Highly recommend him!

I was referred to Dr Chaboki for a cyst removal on my face. Apparently, dermatologists don't want to do much in the way of removals on the face to cut down on scarring. He is my dermatologist's go to cosmetic and facial surgeon.
Sparring too many details, the cyst was near my eye and infected and he did a quick and painless job of calming the inflammation and removing the infection. I've not had facial surgery — and I hope to never again — but the scarring is minimal and Dr Chaboki did a great job. I'd definitely recommend for any facial procedures.

I went to see Dr. Chaboki for what I thought would be a routine removal of a cyst on my neck. Turns out the cyst was a rare cellular dermatofibroma and I've had to go back for repeated samples to be removed to ensure negative margins.
The entire time, Dr. Chaboki has been responsive, patient, kind, and incredibly thorough. He even called me to follow-up about my lab without prompting. His staff is also wonderful, both his awesome assistant Gabrielle and the receptionists are extremely nice and competent.
I was nervous to have this done by a plastic surgeon but Dr. Chaboki is an absolute pro - sent my samples to a reputable dermatopathology lab and spoke with them to ensure best practices. It would have been easy for a doctor to send my samples to a lab that might not have been the right type, but Dr. Chaboki can be trusted 100%. I would recommend him to anyone.

Incredible surgeon and human. I cannot recommend enough. He is patient, punctual, and really has an eye for natural/beautiful results. I am still in the early stages of enjoying the outcome of a cosmetic procedure I had done with Dr. Chaboki, but it's not a stretch to say this is the single best encounter I have ever had with a medical professional.

Dr. Chaboki was recommended to me by my dermatologist. I did a bit of shopping around before getting anything done to compare prices, although it was like pulling teeth to get a price estimate from them. Appointments are on time and efficient. The procedure was easy to schedule (although exclusively during business hours), was done professionally, and is healing nicely. He actually refused to do anything to my nose because he thought the scar would take attention away from my eyes! Although he does not have a warm and fuzzy bedside manner and may not return phone calls efficiently, I think he is a doctor who has his patients' best interest in mind.

He did a great job with a post trauma evaluation when I had a broken nose and orbital and didn't take my money unnecessarily. He gave me the option for surgery but told me he didn't recommend it.
I opted to get it two years later. He did really great work with the Septoplasty to fix my deviated septum. Was thorough with the explanations and was pretty much pain free.

I'm writing b/c I had an excellent experience with Dr. Chaboki! I chose Dr. Chaboki b/c his office is very close to my office and saw he had pretty good reviews. He worked on my ear and it looks great. However, I wanted to comment on the customer service. He is extremely punctual and professional and very easy to talk to. I never waited more than 5 min before an apt.
He always asked me if I had any questions and never rushed me during my apt, something I see in a lot of doctors. Excellent customer service; my ear looks great! I would highly recommend!
Selected Reviews of Dr. Chaboki from RateMDs
I saw Doctor Chaboki for a recurrent sore throat and ultimately adult tonsillectomy. His friendly staff made getting immediate appointments easy, I was always able to see him same day. His bedside manner was suburb. Appointments never felt rushed and he placed emphasis on answering all my questions and addressing my concerns. He was knowledgeable about different options and helped me decide when surgery was right for me. The tonsillectomy went smoothly and Doctor Chaboki made himself very accessible for questions during the healing process; he even called to check on me the night after surgery and the following morning. I recommend Doctor Chaboki as a knowledgeable doctor who made appointments feel relaxed and helped me feel comfortable through a stressful illness.
