Verified Patient Reviews for Balikian Plastic Surgeon
I had a friend that referred Dr. Frew to me a couple of years ago. I began following him on Instagram and quickly realized that he not only had great outcome on his patients, he was still going to seminars and discussions to keep up with updated techniques and treatments. I finally found the time to go in for a consultation and meeting the staff and Dr. Frew, himself, I realized that I was in the right place. I knew what I wanted, but he, too, had his suggestions and "vision." Throughout the pre-op appointment, day of procedure and post-op, I don't feel I could have been in better hands. He took my wants and desires into consideration and he fulfilled all of my expectations! I had breast aug surgery 20+ years ago. At that time, I didn't have the money to pay for the much-needed lift, so that doctor just "filled them up!" Well, after all these years, I knew I didn't want to live the rest of my life with "them." I wanted to be more proportion to my size, I definitely wanted them smaller and I wanted them lifted. While I wanted a natural look, I wanted them perky enough to be able to go braless. I got all of that!!! At the same time, I figured it was time to get my body back. Why did I wait so long? 38+ years ago, my first pregnancy, I was on bed rest, on my left side, for my final three months. This resulted in loose skin and a belly that I hid in clothes and one-piece bathing suits. No work out or diet would help me with the extra skin. Obviously the up and down weight loss over the years didn't help much either. From the first meeting with Dr. Frew, he assured me that it would be a BIG change, but he could give me the shape and stomach that I wanted. Not only is Dr. Frew an expert in his work, he is caring and assuring. He and his staff with forthcoming about what to expect through the weeks following surgery, and they never hesitated when I had any questions or concerns. They kept the line of contact open and never made me feel like I was a nuisance. And I did ask a lot of questions!!
I felt so comfortable with Dr. Frew from start to finish. His staff is absolutely amazing they made sure I was taken care from start to finish. I'm 3 days out from surgery and already love my results.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Dr Frew was amazing through all procedures. Very informative and a perfectionist.
I truly felt like Dr. Frew had my best interest at heart, listened to all of my concerns and answered all of my questions with as much information as possible. I left feeling extremely informed and prepared for the next steps.
Dr. Frew was honest about what he thought about my areas of concern and explained why he would or would not recommend the procedures. He also guided me to a non-surgical procedure for my lower stomach instead of having a tummy tuck. I appreciate when doctors give me enough pros and cons on procedures for me to make an informed final decision.

The overall experience, from the initial consul with Dr. Frew to where we are now has been outstanding! Dr. Frew is not only a very gifted surgeon, he is also extremely thorough with after care. The result is beyond what I was expecting, and I've had many compliments. I have recommended him to several friends and will continue to do so.
Got me scheduled quickly. Doctor was very informative and staff very helpful.
Both Dr. Frew and Misty were so kind and patient with me. My situation is different because I had a reduction by another surgeon and my scars are horrible. I feel very comfortable and heard by Dr Frew and Misty
