Dr.Chaboki and his staff go above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience from the scheduling of the first consultation to the follow-up appointments to make sure everything went according to plan. I did a septoplasty and a rhinoplasty...I likely would not have done either on its own, but going under for the benefit of breathing better through a better-looking nose made sense to me. The results? I can breathe! And the nose looks like the prototype that I discussed with Dr.Chaboki pre-op. Obviously, it takes time (up to 1 year) for the swelling to go down and the true nose to come to light, but so far so good. Overall, very happy, would recommend!
If I could give six stars, I would. Dr. Chaboki not only knows his craft, but performs facial surgery like an artist.. There is NO question that I chose the right doctor for face and chin lift, facial fat transfer + fat reduction on the neck. The works. Since I was in my 30's, I always had bit of a double chin. I have seen some neck fat reduction aftermath where unpronounced vertical lines were left on others, but Dr. Chaboki left a smooth surface; a natural and chiseled look all around. The staff are very personable, professional, and fun to talk with. I am very pleased. Look no further. There is no need to.
Dr. Chaboki did an incredible amazing job on my facial contour. I’m very happy with the result.
Great office! I have loved the results from the treatments I have gotten done there. The office staff is kind, they are courteous and just a great group. Dr Chaboki is competent and skilled
I had a fantastic experience getting my Lips done for the first time by Rachel Hankinson! She is such a great injector! I told her exactly what I wanted and she clearly explained everything. She is very knowledgeable and list to what I wanted. As I really wanted my Lips to still look Natural. My results are fantastic! I had minimal swelling and no bruising. Friends just commented on how great I looked, but didn't know what it was that I did cosmetically. I highly recommend Rachel for injectables especially for Lips! I am so happy with my results!!!!!!! I absolutely love my results!
I have been here twice and the experience has been great so far. I’ve been to a few places like this but here is now my favorite. The staff are so sweet and humble just great vibes and they do excellent work. I always leave with a smile and feeling good/excited. I’m loving it here so I will be coming back for other things. Parking- research parking before you head out if driving, it always makes me late.
Had to reset a broken nose - could not have picked a better doc - I am so deeply grateful to have gone with Dr. Chaboki. No surgery - just manually reset it - and zero issues, no pain. I would easily fly from abroad for Dr. C.
I had a liquid rhinoplasty. Dr. Chaboki was not only welcoming and informative, he was detailed in every aspect of the visit. He answered all my questions in depth and provided the guidance I needed to feel comfortable during my visit. I traveled from NYC because his reputation precedes him, and the results are just as telling. I am very happy with my results and hope to continue to go for his services.
I had such a great experience with Dr.Chaboki! I went in for a non surgical rhinoplasty. I was so nervous about what that meant and how it would look and Dr.Chaboki was so amazing in walking me through the process, all the steps, and helping me feel comfortable in his office. I love the results and am officially addicted to the look. I will definitely be back!
I really like Dr. Chaboki. He is personable and takes the time to answer all of your questions. His pricing is also reasonable. He has repaired my ears after splitting (2X) from heavy earrings. He also re pierced my ears after complete healing. Two years later I began to develop a keloid near one of the piercings. He treated it as follow-up w/o even charging me the office visit! I highly recommend Dr. Chaboki. A fsmily friend visiting me this summer from TX even plans to make time for an office consultation after seeing what Dr. Chaboki did for me.

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!

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.
