Dr. French and his colleagues -- the patient coordinator and nurses -- are knowledgeable, well-organized, friendly, and put me at ease. Everyone communicated a genuine sense of caring about patient satisfaction. I had to postpone my surgery due to recovery time and rehab for an unrelated fracture. Nobody pressured me to stick to the original date but instead worked with me to find the best time for the surgery. My questions all were answered clearly, and the written materials given to me were exemplary. The same-day surgery at Sibley Hospital went smoothly, and I was satisfied with the professionalism and attitude of the staff there. I was very impressed by Dr. French's work -- results were fully in line with my expectations. My recovery has been easy, and the follow up care makes it clear that the patient isn't neglected once the surgery is over.

Dr. French and the entire staff at The Center for Plastic Surgery were fantastic. My initial contact with the office, when I scheduled my consultation was caring and pleasant and I was extremely pleased with the staff. As soon as I met Dr. French I knew I wanted him to perform my surgery. His demeanor, professionalism, and focus were impeccable. I felt relaxed and comfortable during our initial meeting which continued during the entire procedure and follow-up. The pre-op package was outstanding and with the short time between my decision and the date I wanted to have the surgery was short however, the entire staff made sure I was ready. I have and will continue to recommend this office because of the great experience and care they showed me. As an added bonus I am extemely happy with the results of my surgery and know I made a very good decision that fit my life.

I had my proceedure done on a holiday (New Year's Eve) and the post-op hospital staff was in complete disarray. The pre-op and surgical team, including the anastesiologist, however, were wonderful. I was 100-percent confident that I was in good hands.

The time and attention Dr. French spent making sure I was comfortable with my procedure and understood the process was incredible. I was a little nervous going in to my consultation and even pre-op appointment but after speaking with Dr. French, I felt I had not only made the right decision regarding my procedure, but without a doubt, had made the right decision about my surgeon. He goes above and beyond and his work is flawless.

Dr. French is simply the best, most outstanding doctor. He listens, he explains, he understands. He is the ONLY doctor I trust with plastic surgery. He has helped me make the changes needed to get my body where it needs to be. I eat clean and exercise, but there are physical changes that cannot be corrected by diet and exercise and Dr. French has been a partner in helping my physique best project all the benefits of a clean diet and regular exercise. His staff is exceptional! The nurses, the front desk, Sherry - all outstanding and second to none. I have referred several friends and my husband to Dr. French, most of whom became patients. There just aren't enough words for how wonderful an experience it is to work with Dr. French and his staff.

I felt the price was several thousand dollars more than another reputable surgeon quoted, and more than other friends had paid, but I really liked theoutcome of a friends surgery with Dr French.

Dr. French is very approachable and is known for doing beautiful work. I am very happy with the outcome. The patient coordinator is very professional and willing to listen. The front office staff are very courteous. The waiting area for the surgical suite is a little it claustrophobic. When I got there no one was around for a while. I wasn't sure if I should go across the hall to sign in. The room itself is very close." Some music might help."

I am thrilled with my entire experience with Dr. French, his staff, and my results. Dr. French listened to my questions and concerns and truly tailored my surgery based on my individual needs. I am so impressed with the level of professionalism by him and his staff. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. I couldn't be happier with my results.

The entire experience from beginning to end was beyond my expectations. The surgeon was exceptional in both his skill and verbal skills making me comfortable with the procedure, and the entire staff could not have been any more professional, kind or given me better information for preparing myself for the procedure.

I had the same procedure with the same surgeon and hospital 10 years ago, so I was well prepared and not as anxious as I would otherwise have been. Dr. French is very reassuring and I have no complaints; but it's his staff at the Chevy Chase office that I was very grateful for. In his absence, they were tremendously helpful when I developed an awful rash from the tape.

The entire staff was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. Dr French was awesome - his expertise and bed side manner were unmatched.

- Tummy Tuck
Dr. French made me feel like my safety came first. When I told him I had a clotting disorder he wanted me to discuss the surgery with a hematologist before he would consider doing it. I had a consultation at another plastic surgery practice and the physician made light of this information and didn't suggest how he would handle this problem. I also liked that Dr. French didn't suggest additional procedures. The entire staff is helpful and friendly. Most of my interactions were with Summer and Erin. They answered all of my questions and always made me feel comfortable while I was in the office. I'm a FNP so I'm familiar with interactions with health care providers and my entire experience with Dr. French and his staff was exceptional. Thanks.

9/6/2012
- Tummy Tuck
Dr. French was honest, confident and thorough. The entire experience was very professional. I had another consultation with a doctor in my local Ashburn area who does mommy makeovers" and I was horrified. His consultation consisted of me opening my pants and him making comments and rushing me out. In Dr. French's office I felt like a patient, not a piece of meat. I was self conscious at my 4 month follow up and didn't show up because it was after the holidays and I put on three pounds, but I wish I did go! I never took my "after" pictures and never got input on the final results. I will probably return to get some small work done on my hips to even things out. "

I do not feel that I should have paid for my second surgery correcting a ruptured implant. It had not been 5 years before my implant ruptured. The rupture was not due to my negligence either. I feel that Dr. French should have at least performed the procedure for no charge". I have friends whose implants are warranteed against the situation which happened to me. Their plastic surgeon is not Dr. French, but they do operate out of Northern Virginia. They were surprised when I told them I was responsible for all of the costs except the implants, themselves."

I felt that Dr. French and his staff addressed every concern I had about the surgery. They always made me feel I could take as much time as I needed to ask questions.. The printed materials were most helpful as I could refer to them over and over again. I was made to feel that Dr. French and his staff were genuinely concerned with my health and well-being.

I had to have an adjustment made to one of my breasts and had to wait about 2 hours for the touch up" surgery. If I had known the time of surgery I would've come later, but it wasn't clear to me what my scheduled time was. "

There was an air of seriousness and professionalism -- in contrast to the glitzy atmosphere typical of cosmetic surgery practices -- that instilled confidence in undertaking such a potentially painful and definitely expensive procedure.

I felt the post-op appointments were valued w withless importance and I found the wait time after check-in for these exceedingly long, at one point 30 minutes late.

Great results that were in line with expectations set by Dr French. He listened to my needs and understood quickly what my wants were. My results proved that he understood exactly what I wanted. It was great to have several check up" appts post surgery. I felt really supported at all times and like Dr French and his staff really cared about me and my happiness with my results. I would recommend to fam/friends in a heartbeat."

Dr. French is the best! I have told everyone! This is my third surgery with him and I may come back! He really makes an effort to ensure the patient is delighted with the results .... we had a real snafu -- the oxygen tank broke -- and he more than made up for it! I cannot say enough overwhelmingly positive things about him!

I was referred to Dr. French by a friend who had the same procedure down 6 months before. Upon my consult with Dr French I was made to feel comfortable and at ease with my decision to have the procedure done myself. Dr French and his staff have pleasantly answered every question I had prior, during and after my procedure. Dr French is a wonderful, compassionate and patient, doctor. And my results are better then I could have hoped for. I would recommend Dr French to anyone that would have the same procedure done.

In addition to Dr. French's surgical skills, he is a genuinely likable person. His staff is amazing as well. Totally professional but also warm and personable. Every office visit was a pleasure! Finally, the results are amazing. Even better than expected. And according to Dr. French, there will be more improvement in the future.

I was very very satisfied with my experience in Dr. James French's office. The only things that could slightly lower my satisfaction include not feeling completely competent about the healing process after the first week. I am an avid exerciser and would have appreciated a more detailed outline as to how and when to get back to exercise for someone in my circumstances and fitness level. Additionally, I had a number of questions and concerns about the healing process that I had to address online. I understand that the team at Dr. French's office cannot realistically be on call for my every whim and worry, but I would have appreciated more education on specific changes in healing and surgery itself prior to the procedure.

I was highly satisfied with all aspects of the process and the lower eye lid procedure. The staff was professional, caring and educating. They really made sure I understood what the procedure involved. Having that knowledge was key to my recovery. I wish all Drs. treated their patients as this staff and Dr. French treated me. I highly recommend Dr. French and appreciate his professionalism, bedside manners and sense of humor!

- Eyelid Surgery
Dr. French has a wonderful bedside manner. Every interaction with him was good. He is friendly and warm. He explains the process including the procedure and the recovery in simple terms. The frequent visits before and after were helpful to answer my questions and concerns and to set expectations. As for the surgical skill of Dr. French, my eye lid lift looks great -- no scars are visible. His surgical staff was top notch. Their warmth and friendliness in addition to their experience led to a wonderful pre-op and post-op experience. I was extremely nervous about the procedure and about using the surgical center. Having been a nursing student, I was also worried about the medications. Their professionalism throughout the operating process was impressive. I would highly recommend this practice and Dr. French to friends and family members looking for a plastic surgeon. The only slight negitive was the cost. It is top dollar. But for me, it was worth it for something this important, to have the personalized service, experienced operating / surgical staff and top notch surgeon (both his skill and bed side manner).

Dr. French was the first surgeon that I consulted and I immediately felt comfortable, respected, and that the overall experience would be positive. For comparison, I consulted another surgeon (who shall remain nameless) and, ugh, there was a HUGE difference... the staff was not as organized, the facilities were not up to the same standards as CPS, and the pre-op and post-op care seemed to be an afterthought. Plus, it was more expensive! I knew I would be returning to Dr. French. Even though it had been a year since my initial consultation with Dr. French, I picked up the phone and the patient coordinator and I picked up right where we left off. Basically, I am pleased with the overall atmosphere at CPS, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, the convenience of a surgery center nearby my home, the caring and demeanor of Dr. French, the detailed instructions provided regarding what to expect pre-op and post-op (including emotional feelings about the recovery)... not to mention the desired results of the procedure. I could not be more happy! I recommend Dr. French to everyone who asks.

First, Dr French is your best friend right from the start as is his staff. The staff is friendly, knowledgable and gives you their time until you feel comfortable with the visit re your surgery - you are never rushed. This is my second visit to Dr French - I am very pleased with my breast implants from 94-95 and they still look so natural. I plan on using his services a few more times in the years to come. Thank you Dr French!!

Visited with Dr. French for the first time over 20 years ago for augmentation and eyelid surgery. He was so professional and easy to work with and the results were great. Fast forward and nothing has changed. The office and staff and the relaxed nature and really wanting you to be happy feeling that come through to you as a patient could not be any more reassuring.

I felt that Dr French listened and understood what I wished done, and did not push" any additional procedures. His surgical skill produced a result exactly like what I was hoping....just looking more "rested" without any obvious plastic surgery. The staff in the office were extremely helpful, and I felt they were interested in me personally. The option of having the surgery in Sibley Hospital was particularly convenient for me, and saved the difficulty of needing to find company for the first post op night. The certificate for a complimentary facial is a nice touch of appreciation from the practise. "

Materials provided prior to surgery proved to be very useful because whenever I had doubts or concerns I could review the materials and find an explanation. The surgeon did not over-promise results and continues to provide me with check ups after the surgery to ensure that healing is proceeding adequately and to answer any questions that I may have.

Dr. French and his staff are absolutely amazing. Sherri, Maryann and everyone I spoke to was warm, helpful, and informative. I met with 4 other surgeons but no one made me feel as comfortable as Dr. French. He really puts his patient's best interests first and is very caring. He hand delivered my glasses to me as soon as I awoke in recovery after my surgery. Dr. French is so thorough and informative. Having surgery with him was one of the best decisions I ever made.

My facelift turned out beautifully. It looks totally natural. My one concern is that the skin under my chin is still loose and I am afraid that I will have my turkey neck back too soon. It's possible that there is a medical reason why the jaw is not more defined and I'm sure my surgeon will have an explanation.

Dr. French came highly recommended by a friend/former patient, but I chose his practice because of the highly professional manner in which he and his staff operate. Every question was answered in a thorough manner and every detail of my pre-op preparation was explained completely and in a way that was easily understood. I'm very pleased with the outcome of my procedure and would recommend Dr. French to anyone considering plastic surgery.

They answered my questions and helped me understand the risks of the procedure I had. They also helped my husband feel comfortable with my decision. He was not 100% sure about me undergoing surgery until he met the staff and Dr. French and saw the surgical facility. I feel great with my result and will work with this practice again should I choose to have future procedures. I made a great choice and am very pleased with the result. Thanks Dr. French and Team!!

I have been to Dr. French and feel that he is remarkable surgeon. I've referred close to 10 friends to him all of which had a procedure done. One thing I was not satisfied with was the original appointment. I was given a 10:45 appointment to which the moved to 10am without notifying me. I called that morbing to double check the time (i live about 50 min from their ofgice( The patient coordinator Sherri got on the phone and sounded quite annoyed with my expiation and said stop waiting time and just drive"...the tone was quite rude. During the consultation, she was a lot more professional. LOVED all of his nurses in the OR! "

He puts the patients interests first and gives excellent advice. He has high ethics and morals in his practice. Everyone in the office is an extension of him. They all are brilliant professionals who enjoy their work and take pride in giving excellent care and attention to every patient. I felt 100% confident and relaxed on the day of my procedure.

The surgeon had a relaxed approach and yet very professional...this made me feel very comfortable. I felt he cared very much about my anxiety that was present, I'm sure. He emphasized the need to get answers to any/all questions that made me anxious, which in turn would add to my good health as well as comfort. I liked the feeling that he and his staff truly cared about this procedure pleasing me and were doing all that would add to good healing and health.

I found the Surgeon and staff to be friendly, courteous, professional and genuine. I was referred to this practice by an associate and I would refer anyone to at the very least have a consult with Dr. French. I plan on scheduling my procedure within sixth months.

I found all of the support staff at the practice to be very friendly and very efficient. My dealings with Sherrie were very good in trying to set up my surgery, even though booking dates were filled up early. Last minute concerns switched me from being scheduled at the Woodburn facility to Sibley, so my timeframe had to be pushed way back. My overriding decision to use this practice was the openness and warmth of Dr. French himself. He has an endearing bedside manner and I feel very comfortable discussing my issues with him. He makes you feel like your surgery is of top importance to him.

The staff is professional and friendly. Very informative and patient. Surgeon inspires confidence. The procedure (face lift) is something I had thought about but not seriously considered because of concern over the results. I felt safe in the hands of the surgeon and staff to actually set a date for the surgery.

I had experience with Dr. French when he did two breast surgeries on my daughter. He impressed me with his knowledge and the delicate nature of which he treated her (she was only 16 the first time). When it came time for my eyelid surgery, I did not consider anyone else but him.

From my initial consultation to my post-surgical follow up - I couldn't have been more excited and blessed to be apart of this journey with Dr. French and his staff. I am beyond pleased with the outcome of my breast augmentation (enlargement). My friends and family have commented on how Dr. French's work are a true work of art" and how "perfect" they look. Dr. French and staff were very professional, very accommodating, and answered all of my questions. I felt right at home at CPS, and highly recommend Dr. French and his staff. "

Dr.French is just a wonderful person overall. He is very professional and his credentials are very impressive. The patient coordinator he has is very helpful and is an asset to his team. She is very professional, friendly and accommodating. His front desk staff are a nice group of girls but not memorable and I do not think they effectively live up to the practices expectations based on how his clinical staff and management staff approach a patient.

With Dr. French, Erin, Sherrie, MaryAnn as my team, I couldn't have asked for anything better! I was amazed and still am at the care I have been given from Consult to PostOp. INCREDIBLE! I can not express how grateful I am. My team" was so competent and so thorough, that there was never ANY doubt or questioning over any issue. I felt like my best interest was considered in every aspect of my surgery. Dr. French is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Again, I am ever so thankful for everything!"

- Breast Augmentation
I think in any medical practice that is relatively high volume - you don't necessarily feel like the service is super personal especially when it's a common procedure. Everyone was helpful and nice - but 'highly satisfied' would mean I felt they went above and beyond to proactively contact me/prep me for the procedure. There was confusion over the procedure time and I was told several times the patient coordinator would confirm but she never did, so I had to call in a week before to confirm.

I was extrememly confident with the credentials of the surgeon prior to meeting him and my confidence increased after the consultation and subsequent surgery. His demeanor and bedside manner was extraordinary; warm, caring and he was exacting with his answers to my questions. He is a consummate professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery.

I was very satisfied but did have to wait a bit, would have liked more than one date that fit my schedule, and was hoping it was less expensive. However, I have every confidence in Dr French's ability as a surgeon and would not choose another Dr. Thank you.

After many consultations with other doctors offices, Dr. French was able to suggest a solution to my concerns and help me to devise a plan. Dr. French and his staff are personable, informative, professional and thorough. From start to finish my experience was very positive. Once I made the decision to go with Dr. French, I never second guessed that decision, I knew I was in good hands, I knew what to expect, there were no surprises and everything went smoothly. Dr. French and his staff are professionals.

Dr. French was personable, frank about the non-desirability of liposuction, which I had also been interested in, and took time to show photos of before and after of his patients and the different procedures they had had done.Unlike others, he examined my face closely to get a feel for my skin, and showed me where the stitches would go.He answered all questions I had at that time.

Dr French is highly regarded and has a wonderful, friendly demeanor. He is the only surgeon who told me I did not need certain procedures rather than the up-selling I have been subjected to by others. The office staff is knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. My surgical experience was easy. It's too early to determine to finals results but Dr French and his staff put me at ease as to the outcome. I completely trust him and will be back.

After consulting with other surgeons, who seemed baffled by my problem, post-op improper healing left a hernia and large buldge on my abdomen, Dr. French was able to immediately grasp the problem and offer a comprehensive solution that would correct the problem. I had been told be one surgeon that it was not correctable and I would have to live with it!
