Dr. John D. Rachel Reviews

"When I decided to have the S-lift I did a lot of research and went on 4 consults with other surgeons before choosing Dr. Rachel.

I am 10 days post procedure and amazed at how great everything looks. I still have minor swelling but every day I see improvement, and I'm excited to see the final result.

I chose him because he is humble and the triple- board certifications are meaningful. I wanted a surgeon who's main focus was reconstruction of the face. Also, his team was so welcoming and friendly. Thank you to Rose, Chandra, Alicia and Heather. They always made me feel like I was taken care of, displayed empathy when I was nervous and are good listeners.

I wish I could say I look like my younger self but I can't- I look so much better!"

"I have been a patient of Dr. Rachel for ten plus years. I have never trusted a Doctor's opinion as much as I trust Dr. Rachels. He is methodical, very easy to talk to, and recommends the best procedure to deliver superior results.
Due to "gravity" starting to weigh in on my appearance, I decided to move forward with an upper/lower lid Blepharoplasty and a mini lift. The results were great, and I felt at ease with Dr. Rachel's "AWESOME" staff. They made me feel at ease!
I recommend Dr. Rachel to any patient seeking a doctor with excellent bedside manners along with a patient, caring, and very knowledgeable doctor."

"The initial consultation was for injections but I had to ask him about my nose, which was moving to the left of my face. Because of the shift, I was grateful that I had to wear a mask but I was also hopeful that COVID and mask wearing would not last forever.
Fast forward two months and I am healing so well and so fast from the procedure. I am so excited to look like myself again. I always looked young for my age, but the injections and the surgery on my nose make me feel so good about myself.
As others have said, John Rachel is humble and kind. The fact that he is triple-board certified is reassuring. His training and expertise in noses complemented by his experience and training in plastic surgery made me immediately comfortable in accepting his plan of action. I am so glad I did.
His staff, with the exception of one person (whom I thought was rude in her comment about how my nose "had a real twist"), is comprised of welcoming professionals.
I am so excited to stop wearing a mask outdoors."

"I recently had a lateral eye brow lift by Dr Rachel. This man is absolutely amazing at what he does! I am only 1 week out and my eyes look absolutely beautiful. I had VERY minimal swelling and brusing and no pain! If you are considering having ANY work done especially on your face... the ONLY Dr to see is Dr Rachel. He is by far the absolute best! In the past I had friends who had work done by other Dr 's and once they saw my results they were amazed. I also had Dr Rachel do an upper eye lid lift about a year ago and I have absolutely NO scar line. Unlike some of my friends, who went to another Dr. Every day when I look in the mirror, I can't thank Dr Rachel enough for the wonderful job he has done!!!!"

"This man is not only a MASTER surgeon, he's one of the kindest and most humble people I have ever met. I first went to him for a lower bleph over 10 years ago. The results were and still are spectacular. Last week (for my 60th birthday present to myself) I had a mini-face lift. I'm only 5 days post op and cannot believe the transformation! Dr. Rachel is thorough, professional, caring, and patient, as is his entire staff. Most importantly, his work is nothing short of perfection. Would recommend him in a heartbeat!"
