I think Dr. Raphael did the best he could do with my body type. The lipo and incisions feel really balanced. I felt affirmed the whole way through and found the whole process to be efficient. Recovery was not nearly as hard as I expected with the no drains technique. Pain was pretty manageable. I don't even remember it. The scars are healing well and are relatively flat and thin still. My quality of life feels drastically better. The surgery has changed my life :)
The time Dr. Raphael took to help me understand what procedures he recommended as well as did not recommend. He has that magic touch. His bedside manner is the best!
After going through the stages of healing I like the outcome of the combined surgeries.
Staff... amazing, nice, great personalities, all pleasant, felt like I was at a modeling agency LOL
Both Dr. Rapheal & his staff are extraordinary. My results are perfect and I look 10 years younger. Rapheal is very good at listening to the patient's desires and creating the new look. He is amazing!
I loved the staff, and how they took time to make me feel comfortable
This was my first consultation on this type of procedure. They made me feel comfortable and had detailed answers for all my answers.
From the consultation to the follow ups I have been extremely happy with my experience with Dr. Raphael. My only regret is that I waited so long to get the surgery because I feel great and look great. The entire staff has been amazing and I highly recommend
The staff were patient and informative and answered all my questions in depth and detail
Friends immediately saw a difference in me after surgery. I got what I said I wanted...I wanted to look like my sister.
The staff is incredible! Dr. Rafael is truly gifted and I can't imagine being in better hands. I I am in all of his talent. My skin looks amazing and I couldn't be more thrilled.
I love the results from my surgery. My chest looks so good and the lines are clean and small. The nurses were kind and answered all my questions and Dr. Raphael was also kind and made you feel at ease.
Im very very picky with results and have spent the last 5 years thoroughly looking at different results. Despite all of that I was still very concerned that after my surgery I would never be happy with what I saw. However, after my consultation I felt confident for the first time in my life that I would come out of surgery actually happy with my chest.
Great team/staff. Doctor was amazing and took the time to hear my concerns about going under, listened to how I wanted chest to be shaped, etc. Explained everything perfectly. Amazing bedside manner and such a wonderful team in the office.
I was greatly cared for by the staff and all of my questions were answered.
FTM Mastectomy with Free Nipple Graft
Because my surgery came out very superb in wonderful didn't have to do too drying didn't have no complications I'm healing on time and the facility and nurses professional thank you Peter Raphael for doing a good job see you soon
All procedures were thoroughly explained and all questions answered. Results were even better than I anticipated.
Dr. Peter Raphael is a surgeon, is an active listener, he listened to what my goals were for facial feminization surgery and provided realistic recommendations and expectations that balance the features of your face.
I could not be more pleased with the personal concern and manner I was treated. The quick response to my concerns and the professional and personal way I was treated is way past my expectations.
They were on time, efficient, warm and caring. I felt like I was in good hands.
I absolutely love my new breasts! The entire experience was so easy and the team made me so comfortable and sure of my decision. I couldn't be happier! I love my results! I've always wanted a larger chest and finally having it has made my confidence skyrocket!
The team was amazing since the first time i walked in. LGBTQ friendly. I love the outcome of my results. They made me feel welcome and made sure I knew what to do with my whole surgery process.
I was a patient of Dr. Raphael 20 some years ago. I was 100% satisfied with my procedures at that time. I have stayed in contact with Catherine Walker-Paul and decided to travel back to Plano for Dr. Raphael and his team for a mastopexy. The office and surgical team were so kind, helpful and professional. In fact, several members remembered me for all those years ago.
Dr. Raphael was very professional. He was very helpful about talking about my options and I am very pleased with my results. I am much happier with how I present to the world and am at ease.
Lack of communication between office personnel and surgeon caused me to get the nipples that are way to small.I told the pre op nurse I wanted nipped that I could pierce.My surgery looks and fels like it was done by 2 different surgeons because on left side the lipo was way overdone and is still concaved with the scar going much further back and a nerve stapled (said the post op nurse) the other side was fine.I was told be everyone (up to the morning before by the pre op nurse) that my surgery was to be in the morning.When the surgical nurse called me the evening before she said my surgery was in the afternoon.I had told my support that surgery was in the morning.They had rearranged their work schedule it was extremely stressful.Leslie was my admin person and messed up on my requirements because of my age even thou I emailed her to ask if there was anything special I needed to do because I'm 62.3 days before surgery she realized that I had to do a lot more before surgery.After paying cash in full instead of just my deposit, I found out that a cash discount had been offered.When I asked Leslie about it because I had been out of work since covid she said I had to ask up front.
Highly professional. Completely informed me of all risks. Made sure I was comfortable in my surroundings. The patient coordinator was absolutely amazing and Dr. Raphael respected my transition.
[Single best thing is...] wonderful results. My recovery was quick and my surgical scar looks wonderful. Thank you.
All the staff was so great, made me feel safe, and Dr. Raphael was super with explaining and answered all my questions. Couldn't be more grateful for the way they made me feel.
Dr. Raphael was quick and to the point. Him and his nurses were very thorough and comforting. They took away any anxiety I had and their team works so well together to educate and comfort the patient. The amount of inclusiveness and knowledge that came from the staff was incredibly helpful. Even during COVID procedures when I had to go alone I felt okay enough to follow through because of the staff.
Staff and Doctors were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive of my needs.
The staff was sweet. The doctor that did the consultation was very informative including the nurse. I felt at ease once I spoke more in depth about the surgery including the payment methods.
The surgical team was attentive during a pandemic as well as Dr. Raphael taking time to explain the surgery and the process again right before the procedure. The post operative staff was at the bed the entire time. Hands down the best care.
Dr. Raphael is an excellent surgeon. He has one of the best bedside manner. He is a perfectionist. He has been my Doctor for 23 years. I had surgery during a pandemic and everyone was so comforting. Dr. Raphael and his team and all the staff made me feel very safe and cared for.
I was satisfied with my whole experience like always. I got my lip lift almost no pain and no scarring at all, that’s the number 1 satisfaction. And doctor and staff kind and very helpful at all times. Finally a doctor that cares, it not just about money to him. Want to say thank you to Dr. Peter Raphael and staff for everything. [Single best thing is...] Dr. Peter Raphael's magic touch and care he puts into his work, and I guess number 1 is not having a visual scar at all. Thank you again Dr. Peter Raphael.
Proven successful results of FFS. Check in process was easy. COVID precautious were in place. Dr. Raphael & Leslie were amazing, professional.
The customer service is wonderful. They’re also very patient and seem to know what they’re doing. I have been speaking with Mrs. Cristal who’s indeed kind.
This gentleman not only his a an expert doctor but also he is an artist, with that many years of experience he knows exactly what is the best for you and he able to deliver what it fits your needs, I am super happy that I did my upper eyelid reduction with him, I strongly recommend him.
Dr. Raphael is wonderful! He spent time answering all of my questions and his work is amazing. I am three months out and so happy with the results. My scars are minimal and my breast shape looks natural (just what I wanted!). His team is also incredible! I had to fly home to London a few weeks after the procedure and was worried about a small rash I had near the incision. They got me in between his surgeries just so he could make sure everything was okay. It was just a small reaction to the tape and all fine, but it meant a lot that they took the time to fit me in so I could travel back with some piece of mind. I have been so pleased with the entire process!
The surgery went well there was no drainage, almost no pain and the staff and doctor was professional while catering to my needs and making me feel comfortable. The best thing about this surgery was feeling reborn and the staff being respectful understanding and very professional. They really made me feel comfortable and that I could trust them.
Dr. Raphael was very compassionate and understanding. He was very professional, and surgery was a great success. His staff was awesome.
The process from beginning to end was handled professionally and efficiently. I felt that the staff and doctor really knew what they were doing. So seamless that at times it felt like a well oiled machine (this could easily be taken negatively but the human interactions were reassuring).
My Doctor and his nursing staff were amazing!! They were so professional and so welcoming! They took such great care of me:)
Dr. Raphael is highly skilled, professional, and knowledgeable. Moreover, he makes personalized recommendations for his patients. The single best thing about my surgery is the natural look.
Everyone treated me and family like family and there’s no other place I rather go to do my surgery.
The staff was very helpful with guiding me through the process. I felt safe and well taken care of. They were very helpful with my questions after surgery.
Finally meeting Dr. Raphael was great...his honesty and directness. Meeting Leslie...my coordinator, with whom I'd had multiple dealings with via email and phone. Leslie's willingness to listen and talk about any and every aspect of the surgeries I wanted helped me decide what to do and when.
They are super helpful with everything. They're great at answering my questions in a timely manner. They're very thorough and give a lot of explanation about the surgery and what the expect and how to best recover. I feel confident going into the surgery.
Not only did I get the results I wanted, but I also had a great experience with the staff and surgeon. I had almost zero inflammation post-op and I believe it's due to the methods used here by the surgeon. I am so happy with my flat chest!
Dr. Raphael did a great job with my surgery. The staff was friendly and everything went smoothly. I am highly satisfied with my results.
3rd time I’ve seen Dr. Raphael for a procedure. He is a perfectionist, which is so important when ‘reshaping’ your body. Professional, clean facility and everyone that helped me. Dr. Raphael has improved my body from my breasts to my knees. He has chosen the perfect profession to be in.
Dr. Raphael and nurse Leslie, exuded the perfect amount tenderness and medical confidence I was seeking! I was delighted with Dr. Raphael‘s personable nature and was pleased that nurse Leslie had undergone a similar body transformation, which in turn gave me great comfort and trust in the procedure and in their expertise!
Dr. Raphael was soo sweet an made me feel really comfortable. He seemed like a perfect fit!
I was highly satisfied when I walked in first to see everyone wearing a mask and sanitation stations. After meeting Dr. Raphael I felt he was very genuine and listened to my concerns.
The staff was amazing. Answered all questions I had in mind. Also the energy in the office makes you feel welcome!
The surgeon explained the procedure thoroughly and in language that was easy to understand. The nurse was very prompt with answering the questions I had post op sent via email. The staff was very welcoming and friendly the day of surgery.
I am highly satisfied with my experience thus far because Leslie, the coordinator was very very kind, patient and extremely helpful!
Dr. Raphael was very personable and informative. I felt comfortable with him and knew right away he was the one to perform my surgery. He answered all of my questions and was very thorough.
Dr. Raphael and Catherine took real time to explain the procedure. They both listened intently and really show they care.
This is my first surgery, so I was very nervous for the experience. Dr. Peter Raphael and his assistant, Leslie, made me feel very comfortable and also respected me as a transman. Dr. Raphael was also enthusiastic and made me feel masculine.
The staff was very respectful, the whole facility was very clean and they were helpful throughout the whole process.
I feel great. I like the way my clothes fit now. So far I’m getting positive feedback from people.
My breast augmentation was my first time going under the knife for surgery. It was a great experience overall. Dr. Raphael was amazing. He was very informative and didn't push me out of my comfort zone. He also was amazing about recommending a breast size that truly looks good on my body instead of pushing that bigger is better.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
From the moment I made the decision for the consultation, I knew I wanted to have Dr. Raphael as my surgeon. His bedside manner and his overall success at performing top surgery surpassed my expectations.
I just love how they handle their patients and take everything into consideration.
The secretary, Leslie, was very prompt and friendly. She was patient and answered any questions I had clearly and throughly. They work with your time to allow you to move forward with surgery in a pace you are comfortable with.
The price was right - Dr. Raphael was super sweet and explained everything step by step - the nurses where also sweet and got everything set up for me.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
The staff was friendly and accommodating. Leslie has taken care to answer all my questions and provide reassurance throughout the consultation process. The price is extremely competitive for the quality and type of procedure I'll be getting at the end of Aug.
The results were more than expected... Expectations were establecido y fueron exentos. [translation: established and were exempt]
Dr. Raphael was very professional and outlined everything for me in simple terms.
The staff is highly professional and outstanding. They are prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous. Thanks!
The experience was effortless and efficient. The staff was very accommodating, warm and friendly. I believe Dr. Raphael is down to earth and actually listens to his patients and memorizes what we said! I love the warm blankets in the pre-op room! Completely makes a difference.
The surgery experience itself was much easier than I expected; I had an incredibly easy recovery and the staff were great. Dr. Raphael clearly understands what dysphoria is and how helpful these surgeries are. He treated me like I was just a regular guy coming in to get surgery for gynecomastia rather than constantly being reminded that I'm trans. I'd definitely recommend him and his staff. Coming in for my consultation, I knew that I would have to be shirtless while still pre-op, which was not something any pre-op trans man would want to do as something like that causes enough dysphoria just being alone. However, Dr. Raphael treated me just like I was a cis man who was getting treatment for gynecomastia, making the experience a bit less dysphoria-inducing.
Dr. Raphael was extremely informative. Catherine has been patient and full of answers.
As soon as I had my consult, I knew Dr. Raphael was the plastic surgeon for me. He had the best bedside manner and was very helpful explaining my procedure and what to truly expect for results. The entire staff was super caring and friendly. My aftercare nurse was amazing and made that first night comfy and restorative for my start to recovering.
I had no idea how much my gender dysphoria about my chest bothered me until I had the operation. I feel free in a way I would never have felt without the surgery. The recovery is going very smoothly and I've had no complications either.
I'm thrilled with the results, but I'm even happier with how I was treated. I had a lot of questions and the doctor and nurses have been great about answering them all. Throughout the process, they made sure I was comfortable and that all my concerns were addressed. [Single best thing is...] The level of attention given at every point. I never felt rushed. I always felt welcome to ask as many questions as I had, which is HUGE for me.
The results were better than expected with the tummy tuck also, on the lip lift and implants I could not have asked for a better result.
I didn’t know what I wanted but Doctor Raphael knew exactly what he needed to do to reach the end goal. To have put my blind faith in him is insane but the run the end the gamble paid off in dividends. That is the mark of a skilled and caring surgery to listen to what his client wants and accomplish it in the first try! I’m forever grateful! The communication was on point from the beginning with Leslie. She answered every annoying question I had and didn’t make me feel as if I was bothering her. Dr. Raphael was so nice and the results were better than I could have expected!
Haven’t had my surgery but they have been most helpful in guiding me through the process.
Every person I met, including Dr. Raphael, has been wonderful. Thank you for answering all my questions and being informative. Everyone has great bedside manner. Very pleased with everything. Thank you so much!
Dr. Raphael is an amazing doctor with the utmost respectful bedside manner. I’ve seen him for two separate surgeries and he is patient, answers all your questions, makes you feel completely comfortable during the entire process.
Dr. Raphael and his assistant was very friendly and personable and informative about the entire process..They made me feel very comfortable..They made me feel like they really care which helped me to relax and open up more..I knew that I was going to choose him as my surgeon the moment that he walked into the room..He has such a warm and pleasant spirit.. and I connected with him the moment he shook my hand..Oh yeah and plus he does awesome work!!!
They were very informative and open to answer all of my questions. They worked with me on dates and were speedy with my date. I felt comfortable with my decision thus far.
Katherine was very pleasant and helpful and remembered me from my last visit. Dr. Raphael was very kind, listened to me and advised me as to what I needed. They were both very easy to talk to.
Everyone was extremely friendly and very helpful. I feel they have gone above and beyond what other offices do to make their patients feel special and comfortable. I would highly recommend this office to my friends and family.
Catherine is my absolute favorite. Dr. Raphael is the only surgeon I'd let work on me! He's amazing and the reason I am returning for more procedures.
The consultation was very easy fast, easy, and thorough to set up. The staff are very professional and give great respond time. I’m also satisfied with how quick the waiting time is.
You have a beautiful facility which is clean and comfortable. The staff is one of a kind. Not only are they all very knowledgeable on anything you ask them about but they are super nice. And Doctor Raphael was the best! He was so nice and explained everything to me and my mom which made me calm down and also my mom.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
The atmosphere was extremely professional. I felt prepared to handle recovery before the procedure was performed. My results were better than I could have imagined. Surgery is like sculpting, of course. You have to adjust or remove things to reveal what the artist imagined was underneath. Well Dr. Raphael imagined the man I always believed was there, and sculpted everything perfectly to reveal him. I couldn’t be more validated by my results.
I am highly satisfied because everything was explained thoroughly and I was helped with everything I needed. Scheduling the surgery was a smooth process.
Results were very good, and the staff made me comfortable every time I visited the surgery building.
The staff was so friendly and made me feel comfortable about my body both before and after surgery. The doctor was able to produce the exact results I wanted and schedule me very quickly.
The staff is kind, flexible and took their time to simply explain the answers to my questions.
I was given all the information and what to expect from my surgery ahead of time so I was able to plan accordingly. The after care I received at the hotel was phenomenal and I was always comfortable. My doctor made me feel at ease and excited about the procedure. The whole staff is awesome here.
The staff was so efficient and Dr. Raphael was amazing, engaged and made me feel totally comfortable
I was extremely comfortable discussing what I wanted from the surgery. They explained everything very well and I left with a total for what I wanted. They didn’t pressure me to pay something down or scheduled the surgery which was nice as it t gave me a relaxed time to think. After thinking about it I have scheduled the surgery.
The staff is very kind and helpful. They're always available to answer questions, and genuinely show that they care about you getting the best results. Definitely recommend. [Single best thing is...] They helped with all instructions and made the aftercare very easy
The only reason only reason I would ever go back to Dr. Peter Raphael he’s the best of the best of the best.
My results are amazing! Beyond what I could imagine! I went from having a horrible, deformed stomach, to a tight, flat stomach! I feel like I have my life back! And super motivated to continue my weight loss journey.
Dr. Raphael did an excellent job. Quick recovery time, great nurses. I looked great after 2 weeks of surgery, eyelid and face/neck lift.
I LOVE my doctor. Peter Raphael was amazing and my breast augmentation surgery went great. Looking forward to seeing him soon!
Everyone on Dr. Raphael's team was super nice every single visit and amazing all the way around. Surgery day was super easy and relaxed and the team was super accommodating. Overall a really pleasant experience.
Despite me informing him of my OWN lack of concern, regarding the aesthetics of Meta, Dr. Raphael ignored me and told me that he was unwilling to operate based off HIS opinion of what I should want my genitals to look like. Not to mention his unwarranted and unwanted opinions that I would look better after dropping 20-30 lbs {at least}.
Mrs. Leslie is very knowledgeable about my procedure. She is freaking AWESOME and made us feel super comfortable as if me and my wife were part of her immediate family. Dr. Raphael is a very caring down to earth. His approach is very inviting. This has been the best doctor I have come in contact with. I cannot wait until I have my surgery.
Leslie thoroughly went through the payment process and surgery procedures. I was informed of how to prepare myself for surgery such as what to eat, medications not to take and also a list of things to bring with me. We successfully set a date and I am looking forward to surgery with Dr. Raphael.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
Staff were very professional and showed deep concern for me.
Dr. Raphael and Catherine are amazing! I went for a 2nd opinion consult and scheduled my surgery the next day! I can’t wait to see my results soon! Just need COVID-19 to leave so we can proceed!
The customer service was amazing. They were patient and kind. They answered my questions in a timely manner and offered continuous help.
At my age, 74, Dr R said he could improve my neck by 50%. That's what he did and I'm satisfied with the result. I have a pleat behind one ear but it will smooth out.
We were very satisfied with the result he was a very caring and easy-going professional and friendly doctor it took a very good interest in my case any fulfilled my dreams [Single best thing is...] I look great now
Dr. Raphael always makes you feel very comfortable and that everything is going to be okay, and is honest in his opinion on what you want to do and what he thinks the best results would be. Catherine is able to answer most questions I have and we always have good conversations regarding the procedures I'm interested in, and she gives me honest feedback on her thoughts and it helps me in making decisions on what I want to do.
Dr. Raphael was amazing. He made me feel comfortable and confident from the first visit. Everything went smoothly and I am more than satisfied with the results!!!!!
Great atmosphere, such great communication with Dr. Raphael and all of his staff. Nurses took great care of me with regards to pre-op and post-op information and just caring for me. Really put my mind at ease with how easy it was to get ahold of someone in his office. I felt so at home here and I'd recommend everyone come here for their LGBTQ+ needs.
The staff that I was met with at the surgery center was wonderful and very respectful and comforting. Everyone was knowledgeable and able to answer any questions presented. There were no concerns by the center itself and everyone was very professional. [Single best thing is...] I never expected the surgery results I have to be as great as they are. I am 3 months post-op and look better than I expected. Sensation is also coming around and I have never felt more at home in my body. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Everyone was extremely nice and incredibly helpful in answer any and all of the questions I had. Dr. Raphael was very quick and thorough in his examinations and real put my mind at ease. Dr. Raphael and Mrs. Leslie really made me feel comfortable and I knew I was in good hands. They both were very nice, helpful and easy to talking about all of my questions and concerns.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
Everyone was kind and professional. The preparation before the surgery and instructions were all communicated well & clearly. Dr. Raphael was awesome both in interactions and in his work. The surgery was made easy on me by the staff and Dr. Raphael's results were all that I hoped for and more!
Dr. Raphael made me feel very comfortable while he was explaining the information about the procedure that I am interested in. He took the time to answer my questions and what I enjoyed most is that he did not make me feel like a number. He actually made me feel as a human being by taking the time to explain things without rushing out of the office. I appreciate him very much.
I was always treated with the utmost respect from the time I first contacted to the office, through the surgery, and to months afterward when I would email or call about random questions or concerns.
I think the dr and staff are absolutely great at putting you at ease. This is a big surgery and as nervous as I am, they’ve been nothing but the best in answering my questions and concerns.
Discussed the procedures with me thoroughly. I felt very positive that we will get the desired results. We scheduled my surgery date.
Wonderful staff! Dr. Raphael was thorough and answered all of my questions and calmed all of my fears. His staff were kind and supportive and they offered me very fair pricing on all the procedures I was wanting!
Being that I am out of town some hours away, the office staff was quick to respond back to my questions through email. They were able to get my initial paperwork completed and got me scheduled with an appointment quickly. They provided me with all the initial information I needed. I am excited to meet the staff in person.
Dr Raphael is very gifted at what he does. He cares about attaining the best outcome possible for his patient. His staff is well qualified and attentive.
[Single best thing is...] Dr. Peter is perfect and careful very satisfied with my eye upper and lower Sx!! Very professional tender care!
[Single best thing is...] How easy it was to reach the staff and how informative they were. Dr. Raphael and the entire staff were welcoming and kind from the moment I came in. They made sure I was comfortable, informed and prepared every step of the way.
Dr. Raphael made us feel comfortable and right a home. He is down to earth and his bedside manner is second to none.
Dr. Raphael and Catherine are both friendly and easy to talk to. I felt comfortable knowing I can rely on them to help me achieve great results.
Dr. Raphael made me feel very comfortable during the consultation, and I hardly felt dysphoria while I was there.
Dr. Raphael is so kind. Leslie is absolutely amaze to work with and I also want to go to Happy Hour with her. The office staff was wonderful.
Professional office. Dr Raphael changed my self image along with my self confidence. I am so happy with my results. I look better now than I did 30 years ago. Unbelievably great surgeon. So glad he hasn’t retired yet
The most important thing is I felt comfortable with both Catherine & Peter Raphael. They were very polite and professional.
Satisfied with explanations and directions to be able to decide what procedure was best. Loved all the help I received from Leslie. Quickly scheduled my procedure and follow up appointments
I have had procedures done before with Dr. Raphael and trust him totally. He and his staff are always professional, courteous and pleasant. They always take the time to answer any questions that I have. I would (and have) recommend them to anyone.
From my first consultation visit to my surgery date I was well informed. The staff are patient and caring. Dr.Raphael was absolutely professional and caring and always took time to answer any of my questions which helped me feel completely comfortable.
Dr Raphael took the time to examine my surgery's healing and I didn't feel rushed.
Very caring staff, immaculate facility. The procedure was explained beforehand and the staff was always available after the procedure to answer questions about recovery.
I’m a returning patient of Dr. Raphael from several years ago. I’ve been extremely satisfied with the work he did and I’m so excited about my upcoming surgery. I would never go to anyone but Dr. Raphael. I highly recommend him to all my friends and family.. He’s truly the BEST & has a great bedside manner.
My eyes look great. I was never kept waiting [Single best thing is...] I was never kept waiting
There is no one else I would recommend other than Dr. Raphael! He was beyond impressive and he made me feel very comfortable from the start! His staff was amazing! They were incredibly kind and accommodating when scheduling appointments and checking in. The final result for my surgery is beyond spectacular and even more amazing than I could have imagined!
Everyone makes you feel like you are important and listens and take care of you. [Single best thing is...] Feeling good about myself
I chose Dr Raphael because of his vision and skill, and he did not disappoint. I’m 8 weeks out from a lift with implants and my scars are so faded they’re hardly visible. The shape and size are perfect - I told him what I wanted and his judgment and skill made it a reality. [Single best thing is...] Going under with absolute trust in Dr Raphael.
Dr. Peter Raphael is one of the best doctors to perform plastic surgery, his work is amazing, artistic skill...Good doctor, great character! Very pleased with his care. Thank you!
Healed fast, hid the scars on the hairline advancing in my hairline and I’ve gotten lots of compliments on the nose already.
Dr. Raphael and his staff were excellent! The facility was beautiful and pristine. My results are amazing! All of my questions were answered beforehand and the results are exactly what we discussed.
Dr. Raphael had to be the nicest doctor we have ever met with. He explained things simply and then a little more technical for my sister who I brought along as she works in a plastic surgeons office.
Staff was kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. Dr. Raphael has a great bed side manner and must be a great surgeon because I had no complications and very precise incisions. Really a great experience all around.
Everyone was so amazing, kind, cheerful, happy and overall seemed to really love what they were doing. It was a warm friendly positive environment.
Dr. Raphael and his staff were extremely caring and very considerate during my consultation. I have no doubt I will be well taken care if during my procedure.
The staff were very professional and relaxed. They calmed me down because of how comfortable they were; I knew I was in the hands of experts.
Felt super comfortable. Can’t wait to get my money saved to have this surgery performed!
Physician was extremely informative and very helpful with any and all questions that were asked of him, I have scheduled my surgery for Dec. 26th.
I received clear information on the procedure and I really liked the clear information on the exact pricing to expect.
After having a horrible, and painful experience by having my breasts deformed by a so called plastic surgeon, I can finally recommend a highly skilled, caring with an amazing team, Dr. Peter Raphael. This Doctor followed up throughout my whole process of reconstruction of the damaged cause by the other Doctor. I would like to thank Dr. Peter Raphael, giving back my smile, and confidence.
My results were amazing. I felt seen and respected by staff. The staff were available for any questions and concerns I had before and after surgery.
Dr. Raphael was very kind and knowledgeable. I felt extremely comfortable letting him know my concerns. He was very attentive and professional. I am very pleased with his entire staff and the outcome of my surgery
The entire staff at the American Institute for Plastic Surgery was incredibly professional and respectful. I felt completely comfortable and informed going into my procedure and the results from my surgery were even better than I anticipated. I had top surgery done by Dr. Raphael and I am more than pleased with the results. The bilateral incision and nipple placement is exactly where I wanted them to be. The more top surgery pictures I see on the internet, the happier I am that I made the extra effort to have my top surgery done by Dr. Raphael.
Dr. Raphael and his staff are AMAZING and highly skilled and professional. I have been very impressed since the consultation and even 3 months later post operation.
I can not be happier with the staff. The surgical experience and recovery were beyond my expectations. The cost was extremely reasonable and the scheduling was easy with a very open calendar. The surgical results are so far beyond what I expected that even my friends are amazed.
Staff was phenomenal...Dr. Raphael answered all questions and concerns. He did a stunning job on my breasts. Worth every penny!!! Thank you so much for changing my life....The results are better than excepted. Very easy process and wonderful staff!
From the initial appointment to the operating room I felt well taken care of and listened to. I'm now 3 months post-op and feel incredibly happy with my results. [Single best thing is...] being able to live daily life without accommodating for parts of my body that don't fit with the rest.
He explains the outcome, he take time and answers all my questions, I don’t feel pressure even though I kept canceling my schedule surgery, the outcome did not meet my expectations but he kept his promises to fix it, be sure I’m happy, I feel very secured and his staff is very nice, his clinic very clean and convenient, I would recommend everyone.
Dr Raphael was kind and made me feel comfortable in a situation that could of been uncomfortable. He spoke truth to me and helped me figure out what was best for my body. The staff was also amazing.
Amazing, caring staff that were very thorough in explaning everything that was happening. Every single person we interacted with made us feel at ease and well prepared for what to expect afterward. The results of the surgery are very impressive, and healing is going very well.
Staff was veey helpful and friendly. They answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease about the procedure.
Dr. Raphael & his staff are AMAZING! From the time of consultation to pre-op to surgery to post-op - It has always been a good experience for me. Dr. Raphael is a PERFECTIONIST and that's what you want in a plastic surgeon.
Dr. Peter Raphael goes above and beyond to make sure that patients feel comfortable, and he gives his honest opinion about why or why not he recommends a procedure. He is truly an artist ❤️ He makes you feel at ease and at home. You aren’t just a patient, you are in the care of him and his staff.
The doctor saw me twice before the procedure and answered all my questions, without charging me a fee. All the interactions I had at the clinic were great, I never had to wait to see nurses or the doctor. I loved the results of the procedure.
Dr. Raphael is an amazing doctor and made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the whole process. My results are basically perfect and healing went smoothly. I felt comfortable asking any and all questions I had.
Staff was very warm and really listened to what I wanted and took notes. The Doctor came in quickly and didn't waste time with small talk but still made me feel important and comfortable. I can see why this practice is highly recommended.
Dr. Raphael was thorough in explaining what he was going to do. He listened to what I wanted, and the surgery looks amazing!
I was apprehensive going in, I have hidden my stomach for more than 35 years from people as it’s a huge dysphoria for me. Dr. Raphael’s assistant Leslie was super quick to calm me down and talk real with me. She gave me much comfort in making this decision. When Dr. Raphael came in to look he clearly made it ok and reassured me he was able to help and I’d be pleased with the outcome.
Dr. Raphael was running late, but instead of having my husband and I just sit in the exam room one of the ladies let us know of the delay, asked if we'd like something to drink, and another stayed to get to know us. In a very professional manner each of these ladies made us feel very at ease.
I was treated very good like family. Every question I had was answered in a timely manor.
The staff and Dr. Raphael were extremely nice and informative during the consultation. They were very aware of patient's gender identities, pronouns, etc. The office itself was clean, welcoming and made me feel more comfortable.
I’m very happy with the shape of my scars and how thin they are, and the care I received was great.
Dr. Raphael is highly skilled. I had a complicated breast revision surgery done and he knew exactly how to correct it. I have had two breast surgeries before and the prior surgeon although highly recommended botched me. Dr. Raphael is amazing and I wish I had gone to him from the beginning. Everyone on staff is excellent and very experienced. They all answered my questions thoroughly and Dr. Raphael is extremely good. He looked at my body and knew instantly what would look good for me. The size implant and the type.
Aesthetically he elevated my appearance. Such neat incisions, and welcoming staff it’s been a joy to return back.
The employees were very nice and welcoming. I was seen in a timely manner and Dr. Raphael was very nice and informative
Dr. Raphael was very friendly and made me feel confident that I was in good hands. He always came into the room with a smile. I am very happy with my results.
Top surgery looks fantastic. Little scaring and healing process went great.
Dr. Raphael is the most caring and genuine individual I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for over 20 years and I have complete trust in him. I look 10 years younger but I still look like me! ;)
Dr. Raphael, was very warm and engaging. He was easy to talk to and seemed to really listen. The scheduling person was equally as nice and knowledgeable.
There seems to still be more skin than there should be. I have seen another patient that Dr. Raphael did a great job on. Skin is pulled tightly without folds left of extra skin. I am not at the 6 mo point yet. He didn't think it was a big deal and seemed to think there will be a difference in 6 months, so if that is the case I will be happy. Otherwise, I think too much skin was left in place.
Dr. Raphael and his entire team were so kind and listened to all my needs.
I received undivided attention and was never rushed. My questions and concerns were answered calmly and with compassion. I was never told that I “needed” the surgery by Dr. Raphael, he provided his professional opinion based on the outcome of what I desired.
Warm, welcoming staff who all described simply and thoroughly exactly what to expect through all steps of the process. Everyone has been both professional yet friendly and made us feel welcome and relaxed. My son is 17, so I was much more nervous than he just going into the consultation. The level of detail everyone provided while still remaining casual put me at ease.
As a trans person it is very hard to find competent and respectful care, especially in Texas. I appreciated the entire teams care and consideration, as well as validation and confirmation throughout my experience thus far. They are amazing
Dr. Raphael was very professional and knowledgeable right from the first time I met him for the consult to the last follow up appointment. He was confident and knew what he was doing and that showed in the results of the surgery he performed. I am very pleased with the breast mastopexy as now my breasts are literally perfect. I am also very pleased with the tummy tuck procedure he performed and finally have a flat tummy after two pregnancies! Not only was he very knowledgeable, professional and great at his work, he does not try to get extra money out of you or charge you high prices for his surgeries, in fact he worked my quote around to help save money that I would have otherwise had to spend. I would highly recommend Dr. Raphael for any plastic surgery needs. The absolute best thing is that my breasts are literally perfect now. Perfect size, perfect shape and perfect location on my chest.
Dr. Raphael is extremely experienced with consistent, wonderful results. Expectations and needs were clear, recovery was easy to complete, and results were amazing. The staff was incredible and friendly. I’ve never felt so empowered and whole in my body.
My chest looks great. I received the best care both pre and post op. [Single best thing is...] The staff and surgeon were extremely friendly and made me feel very comfortable
Dr. Raphael and his team are so amazing. This was my first ever surgery experience and they were very comforting the whole way through. Going to the Dr. as a trans person is usually not very fun but Dr. Raphael and his staff made me feel very comfortable and respected. [Single best thing is...] I can finally stop wearing a binder and go outside bare chested.
Not only were the nurses extremely kind and professional, so was the surgeon. The money I walked in, I felt comfortable knowing I was having my surgery done here. Dr. Raphael gave me the chest of my dreams! [Single best thing is...] Throughout the whole process, the staff made me feel at ease.
The staff made me feel extremely comfortable and were always nice. Dr. Raphael was very personable and very sensitive to me being nervous. The results were amazing.
The staff were friendly and professional---and put me at ease. Dr. Raphael was great and I love my results. Also--The facility was very nice.
Dr. Peter was absolutely wonderful. He's an experienced surgeon and you can definitely tell. He's had so many successful outcomes and that's why I chose him. He's honest and gives the best recommendation to what would be best for you and your body. The surgery was flawless and I couldn't ask for a better experience. I know any future plastic surgeries would be done with him; no questions ask.
Dr. Raphael has an amazing bedside manner. Catherine made me feel comfortable and is very personable. The support staff and surgery staff are professional and compassionate.
Listened to my needs. Honest opinions. Great feedback and care. I felt well informed. Any questions I had they responded to immediately. I am looking forward to my upcoming surgery. I am happy with choosing this office and doctor. The consulting staff are amazing and attentive. I would recommend them to anyone.
Very informative and helpful. Great customer service and they made me feel comfy. Loved the photos of previous patient outcomes.
I loved the phone call, the nurse I spoke to was very friendly and it was very clear the next steps I needed to take. I also really enjoy the nurse I am paired with to communicate with over email, Leslie. Very friendly, quick to respond to my messages, overall your staff seem very lovely.
Ms. Leslie answered all of my questions that I had. The main reason I wanted to get my surgery done here is because of their reputation in the trans community and they didn't disappoint. I loved that I could provide all my information electronically.
The whole process from consultation to post op was so easy. Everyone that I met was so nice and knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. My results are everything I wanted and more! Dr. Raphael and his staff truly aim to perfection.
Dr. Raphael listened to what I wanted and made the appropriate suggestions. He reassured me that everything would look great. He’s very knowledgeable about the work he does and It was easy to trust that he would do an amazing job.
I had 30 yr. old implants replaced-everything went well-I'm very pleased.
Catherine Dr. Raphael’s nurse was great as well as him. Made me feel very comfortable.
He is genuine, doesn’t try to “sell” you anything but presents options and tells you when he believes you shouldn’t do anything.
I did this consultation via email. Responses were prompt and highly detailed so I didn't really have to ask any questions since everything was covered. I am very excited to have this procedure done and just having it scheduled has improved my quality of life, I'm glad it was so easy to do that.
The person I've been working with in regards to any questions I have seems entirely helpful and kind.
Best Dr. that I had ever worked with. Kind Knowledgeable and especially respectful.
From the 1st consultation to post-op checkup, Dr. Raphael and his team were amazing. I am very happy with my results. I have since returned for lip implants and will DEFINITELY be back for more work! I would have to say the best thing was Dr. Raphael and team's bedside manner. They were all so caring and inviting making it feel like I've known them forever.
Great attitude from all the staff. They always make me feel at home.
I had many questions about my upcoming surgery. My first question was about insurance codes and was answered professionally and completely. My second question was regarding aftercare and I was provided with excellent information on what was going to be needed. I believe that I have been provided information which will make everything go smoothly.
My overall experience with Dr. Raphael and the staff at AI4PS was great! I felt I was well taken care of and really comfortable. I am extremely happy with my results and couldn't have had a better surgeon or team! I highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you all.
Great staff and very sweet. Dr. is truly amazing and I look forward to having my surgery performed by him. He came highly recommended.
Dr. Raphael has the best bedside manner I have ever experienced with any Doctor (even my OB). He explains everything and makes you feel comfortable and confident. His staff is just as wonderful!
The staff was really nice and super efficient in responding to my emails. Dr. Raphael’s assistant Leslie was very helpful when answering all my questions.
I had a lip lift done about 4 weeks ago. It was a quick, easy 20 minute procedure. It made such a huge impact on my appearance and my self confidence! I just love it! I no longer have a long upper lip and people can see my beautiful white teeth now when I talk! His staff is amazing and his bedside manner is top notch! Thank you Dr. Raphael and staff
The warm loving professional setting made the experience a breeze, not only was it welcoming, my surgical experience gave me peace of mind just based off how personable the entire team is.
I had never had a surgery before and was terrified. The team made me feel perfectly safe. Since the surgery I’m more confident in my own skin than I ever thought possible.
Dr. Raphael and his team were phenomenal! This was my first surgery ever and they made me feel safe and comfortable and everybody was so nice. Dr. Raphael’s work was great, my scars look amazing and I feel amazing!
Great facility. Very friendly and helpful staff. Dr. highly professional and made me feel comfortable.
I was instantly made to feel welcomed and part of a group. Dr. Raphael is very knowledgeable in his profession and I look forward to working with him more.
Team was very thorough. Felt great care when I spent the night after surgery. Love the results.
Overall I’m satisfied! I would like Dr. Raphael to spend more time with patients instead of being rushed.
Dr. Raphael is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. I loved the fact that a price was given which includes everything before, during and after the surgery. There are no hidden fees and I am a former patient of his.
Dr. Raphael and his staff all provided exceptional care throughout the whole process from inquiring about surgery all the way through several weeks post-op. I was always treated with respect, and all of my questions and concerns were addressed appropriately when I had them. I could not be happier with my surgical results, and they 100% match what I expected to receive from my experience with Dr. Raphael.
The staff were able to answer all of my questions and were very easy to talk to.
The Dr. and his assistant were extremely warm and inviting from the moment we connected. There was nervousness going in, and that was immediately laid to rest. The comfort and openness was very relaxing and provided an overall pleasant experience.
Dr. Raphael and his team are phenomenal. I received my double incision FTM mastectomy with liposuction from Dr. Raphael and his team in January. The experience was amazing and I definitely recommend AIPS for this surgery. The center was warm and welcoming and all of the staff were eager to help. I truly felt accepted and appreciated, and well taken care of! I love AIPS. From pre-op to post-op, they are easy to contact and provide great details for care. AIPS you rock!
Dr. Raphael was the best surgeon I could have hoped for. I am thrilled with my results, and his bedside manner was superb. He was kind and made me feel comfortable at a very hard time, as did all of his staff. They were very quick to respond to emails, to answer any questions, and to make me feel at ease. I would and do recommend him to everyone.
Catherine was very thorough helpful and kind. The experience was very pleasant and helpful with Catherine and Dr. Rapheal. Thank you!!!
Dr. Raphael went over the Procedure in great detail and I am currently working with his assistant Leslie.
I love Dr. Raphael and his staff. He is the sweetest doctor, ever. He understands and is so compassionate. This will be my 3rd surgery with him.
Comfort level with doctor and staff were great. Love the knowledge Catherine had and how easily she was able to answer any questions we had. Dr. Peter was great and to the point as well. We trust his suggestions in regards to the various sizes that would be ideal. thank you for the honest opinion.
The staff is very friendly and accommodating. My surgeon was amazing and gave me all the information I wanted. The process was quick and easy.
I felt respected, listened to, and valued not only as a patient but as a human!! Since I was there for gender confirmation surgery the staff used the right name and pronouns. Doesn't sound like a big thing but it is. Also, I felt very confident in Dr. Raphael. Gender confirmation surgery is the most life enhancing procedure it seems like anyone can have. To find alignment and be so supported with Dr. Raphael and his staff was more than I could have asked for.
I have been seeing Dr. Raphael since I was 20 years old and I am now 42. His level of patient care and bedside manner are excellent! Dr. Raphael exceeds any expectations with patient care and results. Dr. Raphael listens to make sure that you are guaranteed the best results to be the best to you. Dr. Raphael will not perform a procedure that he deems unnecessary. I have wanted this specific procedure for almost 8 years and until I did my part he would not perform the surgery. My results are perfection. I received the exact results I wanted and expected. The recovery was very smooth. The level of professionalism by Dr. Raphael and his entire staff goes above and beyond.
My mother and sister have had surgeries done by Dr. Raphael. They do not trust any one else but him, that is why I saw him only. He was professional and down to earth, I feel 100% comfortable with him.
Dr. Raphael and Catherine were both very professional and informative--They answered all of my questions and gave me a prompt estimate :)
I have my breast augmentation done by Dr. Peter Ralphael before, I'm very happy with the outcome, now I'm going to have face lift done. I trust Dr. Ralphael, I recommend Dr. Ralpheal to anyone.
Everyone was nice and I never felt ostracized during any appointments. Anything I needed to know was explained and any questions I had were answered. Even getting the option to call back with any questions. The result of the surgery was the result desired, as if I had just been born that way.
All staff friendly, respectful, and comforting. Everyone was very friendly and chill. This was my first time having a surgery and I would have been nervous, but all the nurses were so relaxed that I felt more comfortable.
Dr. Raphael is a gifted surgeon but also an artist. His work was superb and his patient interaction is flawless. Dr. Raphael, Catherine and Debbie were all very helpful, caring and professional.
Dr. Raphael, Debbie and Lori are amazing. They are kind, compassionate and highly skilled. I’ve been a patient due to a chronic issue for 16 years and I'm so grateful for their care!
First off, the facility was an inviting place where I felt completely comfortable. Next the staff was warm and friendly. Finally Dr. Raphael, was friendly and attentive to what I wanted!
Dr. Raphael and his team are absolutely amazing! They kept me comfortable and informed through the entire process. Even when I needed some assurance everything was healing correctly post-op they were there and answering all my questions. Not to mention Raphael is an artist! I’d recommend them any day. Raphael and his team were extremely supportive and helpful throughout the whole process. Honestly they saved my life.
The nurses were very funny and respectful. They helped with every question I needed answered. [Single best thing is...] The outcome of my scars
My consultation with Dr. Raphael was absolutely incredible. He and his staff made me feel so comfortable and were very reassuring about the work that I wished to have done. In the past, surgeons were quick to dismiss my thoughts and feelings about said work, so it was comforting to hear someone validate my wishes for the procedure that I will be having.
Dr. Raphael and his team were welcoming and kind from start to finish. They made sure that I was taken care of and my needs were met. He and his staff were super respectful with my pronouns and experience with gender. [Single best thing is...] The feeling of waking up and knowing that I had made one of the best decisions of my life. I was able to gain so much confidence from this surgery and Dr. Raphael's work.
I liked Dr. R. and his right hander. I thought he made sense and he came recommended to me through a couple of friends. I have not made up my mind yet. I'll do something eventually but I've not pulled the trigger yet. Thank you for reminding me that I need to move forward with this in my life.
My surgery results are spectacular! My experience from beginning to end was first rate.
Staff was incredibly kind, it was something I'd been desiring for years, relatively painless
This is my third time to test Dr. Raphael's skills. As always he is an excellent surgeon. The staff and facility are top notch. Dr. Raphael listened to my goal for end result. He has an awesome bedside manner.
Staff was friendly and respectful. Dr. Raphael was a great guy and answered all my questions. The facility was very clean and very comfortable.
I was completely comfortable, all questions were answered to my satisfaction , the girls were very friendly and informative.
The staff was super friendly, professional and understanding. My wife and I were extremely comfortable with everyone there. Dr. Raphael is an amazing doctor and artist. I am thrilled with my results. I have received many compliments about the naturalness of the results. A weight has literally been lifted off my chest. It was well worth the time and expense to fly out.
The staff was awesome and so helpful. Dr. Raphael was a nice guy who immediately made me feel at ease. On top of that I love my results! :) The freedom after healing from surgery was the best experience.
Dr. Peter Raphael is amazing in his work and he treats his patients like he actually cares.
The nurses were very helpful and they answered all of my questions and there was a lot of communication before the surgery took place. They got my paperwork for work filed very quickly. And the surgery was very well done and I love my results and get constant praise for the outcome I would genially recommend anyone to the clinic if they were looking to get surgery.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
I feel like my best self, and the most confident I have ever been. I love my chest. I no longer feel dysphoria regarding breasts and it is genuinely life changing. I love walking around without a shirt.
Goals were achieved. Very happy with the results and my experience. Little to no pain after surgery. Incisions are almost unnoticeable. Would definitely schedule next surgery with this doctor.
I didn’t have any post op nausea and I’m pleased with my nose and I can wear sunglasses without discomfort.
I am very satisfied with the results from my surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Raphael and his surgical team.
It was a positive experience with a very positive outcome. I am happy with my Rhinoplasty. Nothing but good things to say. I love it! Doctor Raphael did a fantastic job.
Best Care I’ve recieved. I love the staff and my Doctor. I no longer have to hide my tummy. I’m okay with getting naked now
The facility was immaculate in terms of cleanliness and atmosphere. It didn’t feel like a surgery center at all, it appeared more as a spa retreat or something of the sort due to how welcoming and inviting it was, which greatly reduced any stress I had prior to arrival. The staff’s mannerisms and respect were unrivaled, I felt like I was coming in and meeting my family with how they spoke to me. It was a very easy and quick experience, everything was explained and questions were answered in ways that I could easily understand. Dr. Raphael was also a pleasure to meet, he ensured that my comfort and happiness came first and always treated me with respect during my pre op appointment and just before surgery when he met with me. A big thank you to reception, the nurses, and everyone who assisted in my surgery. You guys rock.
The staff was amazing and so respectful. I was very nervous about my surgery but they made me feel at ease which made it easier to have done. I am very satisfied with my surgery. It truly changed my life. Thank you! [Single best thing is...] Confidence!! I can now walk around with out a shirt with so much confidence. I look in the mirror and see the body I was always supposed to have.
I’m very satisfied with the results. I’ll recommend my friends and family members.
I have no depth, and was told 6 inches wouldn’t be an issue. I now have to pay for a revision. Communication post operative was difficult, callous, and without any satisfactory answers!
Even though I had surgery on my chin I was told that I must wait 4 months to a year to see the results. Therefore, I can’t really say yet because not much has changed. They told me usually there’s not a big difference until it heals, so when it heals completely I’ll be able to say if I’m highly satisfied or not. Although I do see a bit or a difference.
2nd time I've chosen Dr Raphael for my elective surgery. He is the very best at what he does, is totally honest ( in a fantastic way ) and it is obvious he is a perfectionist. He perfected my body and I am forever grateful that he has chosen cosmetic surgery as his field. If choose to have something else done, I will see Dr Raphael for whatever I choose to do. I'm SO glad he has not retired yet. The staff is a reflection of him. The entire experience was a '10'. I am very conscious of my body. When I had my breasts done by Dr Raphael in 2004, I was ecstatic with my results. My new breasts improved my body, and, in turn, my self image. My most recent surgery was in September 2018, and I am still recovering. Still a bit sore and swollen, but I am so happy with my results (and I'm still swollen ), and I can't say enough about American Institute of Plastic Surgery. I live in Denver, and didn't hesitate at all to fly to Dallas to see Dr Raphael for my surgery. He is the BEST!!!!
From the staff to the atmosphere to the office. Everything was above par for me. My results are fantastic. And I felt heard which was important. My life was changed drastically by how easy it is for me to go through every day life. My happiness has completely changed. I’ve never been so content in my own skin.
Everything went smoothly. My instructions were easy to follow. My results are beautiful. I’m completely comfortable in my skin now. It has helped tremendously with my mental health and my confidence has skyrocketed.
I was satisfied with the overall experience, and I am absolutely delighted with my new body. I did feel left in the dark on some aspects regarding recovery, such as swelling possibly lasting for up to one year, and just overall expectations during recovery. The office staff seemed a bit hasty every time I visited with the exception of the free evaluation visit. Highly satisfied with the surgeon, excellent job from the first visit to the last.
I had all my questions answered to my satisfaction and was treated respectfully by the doctor and staff.
The staff was very friendly and provided me with all the needed information to make a well informed decision. They took the time to walk me step by step through what would be happening the day of surgery. From my experience I believe doctor Raphael is a top surgeon in the industry and I trust him with any future procedures I may decide on. He was a gentleman through the entire process. I had [unsuccessful] surgeries from previous doctors and this procedure has helped me to get to a more natural and beautiful shape that I am now able to add to with exercise.
The entire staff, facility and experience was incredible. I am in the health care profession and understand how demanding it is to provide excellent care, my experience at this office was beyond my expectations. This is the place to go if you need any of the services they provide. An overall awesome experience from start to where i am now
The entire care team was amazing. Dr. Raphael is an excellent surgeon, very personable, easy to talk to. My eyes look great. I'm just thrilled about the whole experience!
The consultation was informative and I did not feel pressured or rushed. Dr. Raphael was extremely caring and patient.
I am more confident in my appearance! My body has totally changed and I look great!!! Dr Raphael was the best as well as the staff. They answered all of my questions and reassured me every step of the way. The pre and post op information was very thorough and I knew exactly what to expect. Would higy reccomend to others. I. Fact, I already have!
I have always had a problem with severe nausea after surgery but dr Raphael prescribed we a great mixture of anti nausea RXs and I have had no problems. The pain has been very minimal. The doctor and staff are awesome. I’m I am delighted!!!
I had thought about having an augmentation after my 2 kids were born but just wasn't impressed with the phots I saw from other doctors. I waited 10+ years to decide I was ready after a friend recommended Dr Raphael. The details of everything explained to me from A to Z, start to finish and the friendly staff.
It was the best experience I have had. Everyone was so nice and really made me feel very comfortable!!!
I feel like I have had a jumpstart on getting my shape back. I always feel like Dr. Raphael and his staff care about me and aren't just trying to make money
My results . I had several complications and they office nurses where always very helpful and patient with me
I look and feel great. I am so happy with the overall experience. Thanks Dr. Raphael
The Surgeon and his staff were very helpful in answering all my questions. They understood where i was in my goals.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
You all are genuinely the best most inclusive medical team I have ever had. Thank you for my life saving top surgery. My body was a prison and you freed me from it.
I feel the hernia repairs and abdominoplasty has strengthened my core and enabled me to move more easily and helped to reduce by back pain. Dr. Raphael and staff were friendly,knowledgeable and thorough in providing all the information that I needed and I was given excellent nursing care by Kim Allen the night of my surgery thru the following morning until I was discharged into the care of my family.
I came to Dr. Raphael to correct a previous breast augmentation where I developed capsular contracture. I was in constant pain every day. He changed my life and every day health. . Dr. Raphael took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure to me and made me feel at ease with the corrections he would be making to my previous surgery.
After binding my chest for five years, I was sure that my top surgery results would be ruined. However, my chest looks amazing! As I begin working out regularly they will only improve. I no longer have to bind my chest and can take my shirt off as I please. This surgery changed my life. It has improved my confidence, comfort, and posture. . I loved the entire experience I had with Dr. Raphael. The staff treated me with respect and kindness. I never felt unwelcome and everything felt very personal to me, unlike some surgeons who can tend to act robotic towards their patients. Before my surgery, Dr. Raphael looked at my mom and girlfriend and said that I would be treated like I was one of their own. His confidence, charm, and amazing bedside manner comforted my terrified mother. The nurses made sure I got to see my surgeon at least once before pre op and post op, which shows how much they care. I'm now three months post op (as of tomorrow) and I'm so grateful for the amazing work of Raphael and his staff. I cannot get over what an amazing experience I had; it was my first surgery and i wasn't even nervous because of the staff. 10/10 and I have zero complaints. I would recommend ai4ps to anyone.
I love Dr Raphael ‘s surgical skills and his fine cosmetic results esp with respect to the scar.... fine post surgical scar compared to my previous surgery with another plastic surgeon
The results were great couldn’t be happier . Experienced professional team and doctors
Dr. Raphael is a pro! So is his staff. I still can believe the results are real and lasting! The way people react to me is more positive!
I was super satisfied with my new breast! Dr. Raphael was very helpful in helping me choose the right size and what looked the best. Would definitely recommend anyone to go see him. He is great at his job and makes you feel very comfortable. The surgery was only 45 minutes long, I was amazed!
The post surgical results were even better than we expected. I am very, very happy with the results. The removal of the cankles has improved my confidence greatly.
Staff were friendly, anesthesiologist was very knowledgeable and took time with me to help me feel comfortable. Very little wait time at surgical OR.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
Everyone was very friendly and informative with a genuine care and desire to help.
The doctor and patient coordinator were very knowledgeable and professional and took their time with me answering all my questions. I did not feel rushed. I am impressed with Dr Raphael with his experience, knowledge and credentials and will use him to perform my procedure when I am ready to do so. I don't feel that I need to look any further for doctor, I am very pleased with Dr Raphael.
The doctor was very friendly and easy to talk to. His confidence put me at ease as we discussed my concerns with the surgical procedure.
The doctor and staff were great! The answered all my questions, offered advice and suggestions and were very friendly and accommodating.
I definitely am HIGHLY SATISFIED with my consultation with patient coordinator and surgeon. I requested consultation for my possible procedure through reference from my son who is in last phase of process of an extensive surgical procedure beginning in 2008. The information I received from surgeon and coordinator completely explained the procedure and extent of recovery based on my health and age. At their concerns and suggestions, I was completely in agreement that I should not continue further interest in this procedure. I am extremely impressed that the surgeon and coordinator cared more about my health and recovery to deny the procedure rather than what the financial benefit would be to the hospital and staff.
Highly Satisfied because I had a procedure done in the past with Dr. Raphael and I can't imagine going to consult any other plastic surgeon in the DFW area. I trust Dr. Raphael literally with my life.
I love my new tummy! Super flat and allows me to wear outfits like a bikini for the first time in 13 years. I am more confident and happy with my appearance in all my clothes. Dr. Raphel and his staff made me feel comfortable and explained everything in detail. Any question I had was answered and all my needs were met. He advised me on the procedures that would be most beneficial to me based on what I wanted done and I am very pleased.
Satisfied with the overall experience. The materials provided and explanation of the procedures and how to prepare before hand and afterwards. The only major pain was the cleaning of the face the day afterwards from laser. Wish I had known to take the pain meds before I got there but not sure it would have made a major difference as you will experience some pain and I knew that ahead of time due to other surgeries. Nothing is pain free. But over all it went well was only on pain meds for about 3 to 4 days and I would do it again.
The medical team at American Institute for Plastic Surgery is amazing. It is clear that everyone from the front desk to the surgical team truly care about all of their patients. This facility is a true asset and ally to all communities. This office has worked with me on several instances. I have never not felt safe, happy, or valued. I love the results that I have experienced! I love Dr. Raphael, Catherine, and Debbie, they always go above and beyond... in every way. I am very happy with my results.
Dr. Raphael and his team were absolutely amazing. Their attention do my procedures was outstanding. I’m able to wear clothes I haven’t been able to in years. I have more confidence.
Dr. Raphael explained things thoroughly, the entire staff was helpful every step of the way. Good results!
Dr Raphael & the staff I came into contact with were extremely friendly and reassuring. I felt like a VIP each time before and after my surgery visits; although I'm quite sure all of the patients feel this way. I don't remember a follow up call but I'm quite sure they did. If my husband agrees, I love to have more liposuction. Dr Raphael and the staff there provided me with excellent care& services. [patient name]
Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I felt comfortable and felt the Dr. had my best interest. He has such an amazing bedside manner.
I had family members waiting for me and I felt that someone could have informed them that the surgery was over and I was doing ok. Also, I felt that the post visit should have been with the doctor and not a nurse. I understand that he is busy working his magic, but it would have been good to see him, maybe if something was wrong he could have picked up on it. Overall my experience was good and I think I had a great doctor and the staff was great as well. Especially Katherine she really made me feel at ease. Dr Raphael is the kindest man, and very reassuring as well.
Every single person is extremely friendly , professional , and Dr. Raphael is the nicest, kindness physician I’ve ever met! The office is beautiful, and I’m a returning patient for surgery with Dr. Raph. I have many friends trying to sell me on their “ GREAT” doctors in DALLAS. Woooooo. I do not care, I trust and love Dr. R.
Dr Raphael came highly recommended by a close friend’s friend who has had several procedures as well as a physician that I work with who’s wife utilized Dr. Raphael’s services. I read his reviews & visited the website multiple times. I researched several plastic surgeons; however I kept coming back to Dr Raphael. After my then fiancé (husband at time of surgery) was assured that he could perform the service we wanted along with recommendations, we scheduled the surgery....6 months out. Although I know that my husband loves me unconditionally & would have rather me not have the surgery; he is very pleased with the outcome & so am I![name].
Informative, to the point, listed pros and cons, down to earth staff, great surgeon that is kind and a highly talented artist. He enjoys his work and it shows. Very knowledgeable staff.
It appears very natural. Removed years off my appearance without appearing over done. The end result is natural and superior to any I have ever seen. My hair dresser said people ask her all the time if she knew of a doctor for this procedure. She has seen many and would not recommend anyone. She was overwhelmed with my result and asked for your contact information. I am more than happy to share with anyone that I ask!
Look much better! Great Doctor.. excellent bedside manner Nurses were very attentive and professional.Explained everything well!Returned after 19 years for this surger, and very satisfied!
It was my third time going back. Dr. Raphael shows he truly cared about my outcome. He was a good listener and knew how to answer my questions thoroughly and with emphasis in what I really wanted targeted. I recommended my aunt to have breast augmentation with him and she also loved the experience. Overall 10 out of 10. If I ever know anyone needing a plastic surgeon I will be sure to recommend him and his great staff. His main nurse Catherine Walker is amazing, charming and caring as well. Amazing experience.
Dr Raphael makes me feel comfortable through the whole process. He is a great and professional doctor!! The anesthesiologist also did a great job as well as the nurses. Overall service is great!! Thank you. I have a perfect tummy after 4 c-section in 29 years!!!
Catherine and Dr. Raphael made me feel comfortable and relieved my fears. This office has been highly recommended. I have also had great experiences with all staff during all medspa appointments and procedures. I am confident in my selection of Dr. Raphael performing my Mommy Makeover.
Love the results...have a tiny bit of tweaking that I'll bring up at my 3-month visit. Everyone in the practice was accommodating and friendly, and they made me feel like I mattered and was not just a number. I would recommend Dr. Raphael to anyone looking for an improvement, and have done so several times.
Peter Raphael Md is one of the most highly qualified Plastic Surgeons in the United Stattes, his expertise is outstanding as is his understanding of patient needs.. His staff is caring and knowledgable. The follow up and care I recieved far exceeded my expecatations. Dr Raphael is amoung the best and the brightest!
Dr.Raphael bedside manner is wonderful and caring for his patient . He did a GREAT Job! Thank you ! . Everything was done professionally. No complaints whatsoever.

I was very impressed with the abundance of before and after photos. Entire staff was welcoming and beyond friendly. I have already told numerous people about my awesome, life changing experience. Thanks!
I came in for my consultation and was very pleased and impressed with the staff and Dr. Raphael. He was professional, warm and answered all of my questions. I went home to discuss with my husband and scheduled the surgeries (liposuction and breast replacement and augmentation) the following morning. I have already recommended Dr. Raphael to 2 friends of mine. He came highly recommended to me by my doctors office and I was extremely impressed with his professionalism and ability to make me feel comfortable with the procedures I am having.
I was very nervous about the procedure before going to the appointment, but after meeting with Dr. Raphael, he made me feel very comfortable, and provided me with all the information I needed, as well as before and after pictures. After speaking with him and seeing all the before and after pictures, i had no doubt that he is the Surgeon I'll be using for my surgery. He does an amazing job.
Overall staff were competent, helpful and nice The best thing was the reconstruction of my stomach and loss of fat
A very simple and straightforward office, doctor and overall experience. I lived the almost immediate results that I achieved after surgery.
I just felt that the dr , while nice and friendly, did not offer any suggestions or specifics about the procedure.
I love and trust Dr Raphael. He listens to my concerns and is conservative when I ask him to be subtle with the procedure. The fact that his staff has been with him so long and adores him says so much.
Dr. Rafael made us feel very comfortable during the exam and answered all of our questions. Pleasant experience
I work for a cosmetic surgeon but after meeting everyone in Dr Rafaels office I saw what a REAL plastic surgeons office does things. They all were happy, knowledgeable, kept me well informed and the results are spectacular. I had breast augmentation that has made both my husband and I very happy.I also has a tummy tuck to remove excess skin only and it has been life changing, I no longer have to be embarrassed or hide myself. I also had an arm lift and no longer need to only wear long sleeves!!!
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
As I have visited many surgeons recently; none of them had many before/after pics. As I am a product of a botched surgery, I did not want that to happen again. Dr. Raphael and his staff had an abundance of information and pics. I became fully confident that I scheduled immediately.
I had an issue with my breast aug recovery emailed them twice about it with pics and never got a response back.
My outcome was very similar to the photo shop pictures that were provided to me. They set realistic expectations as to what to expect. . As a repeat client of Dr. Raphael, I was highly satisfied with the multiple procedures he executed on me. My scars are minimal and everything has healed nicely. He has an eye for beauty and will return to him for any further procedures.
I live 2 hours away and have the same services available. I also work in the medical profession. Dr. Rafael and his team were highly recommended so I ventured into his facility and was not disappointed. I looked at everything from the staff that greeted us to cleanliness, professionalism, knowledge base, post op care, etc. I felt comfortable and cared for throughout. There was a thread that ran through all of the staff that made me as a patient and not a caregiver feel cared for. Never rushed, never a problem, always first. Thank you.
Very smooth and professional surgery. It has allowed me to have the appearance I was seeking .
Dr. Raphael is the best in the Industry.I wouldn’t trust anyone else to perform my surgery. The quality of the outcome .Dr. Raphael’s bedside manner.
I have been to Dr Raphael in the past and was highly pleased with his services!
The surgeon and coordinator were very friendly and answered all my questions and put me at ease, I will get my procedure done here.
Full information was given and concern for positive outcome was obvious the cosmetic change was just right...not too much change but refreshing
Dr Ralphael and his staff were 100 percent kind, informative and knowledgeable about what I wanted. I had no complications or worries from the time I initation for my surgery, my wonderful nurse who assisted me after surgery, until my second appt afterward. Great doctor, Great staff I love the way my clothes fit now. No more tugging or tight support garments. Totally satisfied
Great experience. I have used Dr. Raphael several times and have always been happy.
Everyone at Dr. Raphael’s office goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable, including Dr. Raphael. He has done all of my procedures and will continue to do so. I appreciate that he has kept the same staff since my first visit to him in 1999Catherine, Lori and Debi are all wonderful! His bed side manner is top notch. He makes you feel as if you are his only patient!
Honest, knowledgeable interactions with everyone at the practice. Staff told me specifics regarding the surgeries they had. Very helpful. Calm, non-judging atmosphere helped with the jitters! Ha!
I felt so comfortable with Dr. Raphael and his staff. I'm so excited to get my surgery done and tell the world how awesome you guys are!
Dr Raphael listened carefully to what I wanted to accomplish with the surgery and delivered exceptionally on my needs. I have gotten rave reviews from my friends on the quality of his work, I am very happy. Post surgical results, the improvement in my appearance with a very natural look.
The ladies there do not look overdone. My friend who recommended Dr. Raphael is very satisfied. Dr. Raphael seems very experienced and down to earth.
I would say the single best thing has to be the results! They are truly increadable! . I had never been under full anesthesia and was quit nevous about the process. Not only was I put at ease but I felt very confident in the process. I loved all of the staff that I came in contact with and I absolutely love my results! I will be back for my mommy makeover!
Just kept me calm and informed. Dr Raphael is just super informative very nice and this was my 2nd surgery with him and I just love the way he handles things. A high class establishment all the way! Do plan on going back for something else!!!
Dr. Raphael and staff provide a safe, informative, supportive and friendly environment. Dr. Raphael is an artist w/ his procedures. I am very happy with the work he has done on me. It has given me self-confidence. I actually feel pretty, attractive
Very friendly staff. The flow of the consult was ideal and Dr. Rafael was easy to talk to.
Dr Raphael is very kind and honest. I don't believe he would do a surgery if he didn't feel that it would in any way not be benifical or for lack of a better phrase something that would be over the top. He stands by his work and has always been brutally honest with me. I believe that he really likes what he does and he's is good at it. Dr Raphael has a great team that has been with him for a very long time that speaks Volumes to me.. They are efficient and respectful and seem happy to be at the office. This is just a place that makes you feel like what ever the problem they will come up with a solution to fix it. I had a breast saline implant replaced with silicone a few years ago. For what ever reason over the years they developed a lot of saging skin under both breasts. Whether is just my particular body or the fact that I do work out and have very strong chest muscles added with low elsaticity in my skin. They were less than desirable. After consulting with dr Raphael he simply said I agree and schedule a time and I'll take care of it. That he did! I am one week post op a breast lift. And very confidant that my new chest will be everything I had expected.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
Dr. Raphael and his staff are all so wonderful, respectful, professional and kind. We never felt judged or mis-guided in any way. My son absolutely loves Dr. Raphael and is so pleased with how his chest looks. We are forever in his debt for this new lease on life! [My son's] confidence has increased. He is so much less dysphoric and happier. He said to me, Mom, I feel so free!
I was familiar with Dr. Raphael through others who had used him. He did not disappointment me. His easy manner and attention put me at ease. I cannot use general anesthesia and he was able to work with me. The assistants I spoke with were very friendly and also put me at ease.
I am a Registered Nurse & customer service means a lot to me. From the time I walked into the facility, the staff were inviting & welcoming. The wait time was phenomenal. The consultation with Leslie & Dr Raphael was awesome....I really enjoyed meeting them. Dr Raphael came highly recommend by a physician, [provider name], that I work with & knows him personally. I am looking to scheduling my procedures in February with him!
I really loved the attentiveness of all the stuff members at the American Institute for plastic surgery not to mention dr. Peter Raphael is extraordinary work he made me feel like a new person or shall I say gave me the birth of my own self and now so complete thank you guys at American Institute for plastic surgery the experience was a memory I will have for a lifetime
Dr Raphael was the best surgeon that I could have ever asked for! I highly recommend him to friends & family! I will definitely use him again in the future! . Not happy with the hotel nurse that took care of me after my surgery. She was not available when I woke up & was disappointed that I had to pay for this when I could have been at home w family to take care of me instead. Very very disappointed!
Every single person I've had interaction or communication with has been absolutely wonderful! So friendly and inviting and I could have asked for better or more for such an intimate and emotional decision/procedure/experience! Thank you AI4P!!! Y'all rock!
Love Dr Rapheal such a great surgeon and perfect bed side manor Was very easy and painless
I never felt nervous about the experience at all. Dr. Raphael always made me feel completely confident in what he would be doing from the moment he explained the procedures that would best fit my needs. The staff that was communicating with me were terrific and explained everything very well; everyone was so kind! I highly recommend the overnight care and would do it again (Lori!!!) if returning for another procedure. I have already given out Dr. Raphael's name several times and will continue to do! I have also returned for Botox (Lori again!!!) and plan to come back for my fillers. If I need any surgery procedures in the future there is no doubt that I will return to Dr. Raphael. The results are BEAUTIFUL! I look absolutely natural and look like myself. He also keeps me from going overboard whenever I talk about doing something too extreme. He treats women like they are lovely. He is such a wonderful and kind man; a pleasure to be around.
I had used Dr. Raphael before and was completely satisfied. He is the only doctor for me for cosmetic surgery. He is the best. I look better.
Extremely friendly and polite with a skilled surgeon that was highly recommended.
Very friendly staff and very clean facility. The surgeon was wonderful at suggesting other procedures to consider . . . I felt very confident in his vision.
I came in with a friend of mine who has had multiple procedures done as well as augmentation and i felt very comfortable knowinghis history and just arond him in general
The entire staff was highly supportive and made sure all questions were answered. The nurse even stayed a minute late to show me more before and after pictures. She was like a best friend at the appointment with you. I have several friends that have had procedures done by Dr Raphael and all were extremely satisfied. Dr Raphael was very friendly and approachable.
When I drove up I figured the office would be snobby but I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone was friendly and eager to help. Loved my experience and will definitely be back if I have any more procedures. The lady that brought the boobs in the room was the sweetest and she made us laugh and relax about everything.
Friendly staff, clean facility, and skilled surgeon The nurse was really funny and sweet made me feel at ease.
I was made comfortable discussing an uncomfortable topic. All of my issues were addressed and resolved promptly . The surgeon and staff conveyed genuine concern and care. Bladder issues have resolved. Personal concerns of my body image have resolved. I'm comfortable and I feel confident .
100 % satisfied with this experience from start to finish!!!!!!!!!! Dr. Raphael and his staff are the epitome of medical professionalism. Thank you for making me feel better about myself!!!! Sorry I waited so long to make the decision:) This procedure has made me feel so much better about my body image.
I USED DR RAPHAEL FOR MY BREAST LIFT IN 2001 AND HE WAS AWESOME!! I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER, I AM COMPLETELY CONFIDENT IN HIS WORK!!
Dr Raphael and his staff are the only ones in their industry that I put 100% in. I fly to Plano from 1,000 miles away to see them! Natural results
The surgeons expertise. I think he is VERY busy which would normally make me shop around but he nails it every time . I don't feel like me remembers me when I am there for post op but the nurses help him. Results r more important to me than remembering my name and what I had done.
Wait time and time spent in actual consulatation and also wait time for imaging photos and hearing back from someone. Surgeon was nice but everyone else makes you feel like just a number/ cattle call
I have had a tummy tuck, arm lift, breast lift and implants. Love Dr. Raphael, Laurie and Debbie. Even though I have had complications from the second surgery...they have been there and supported me through the process. Planning on have a leg,thigh and butt lift in August.
Dr Raphael was amazing along with all staff members prior, during and after my surgery. It was a very comfortable expierence
Dr. Raphael is one of the most compassionate and talented surgeons I have met. He provides comprehensive care for his patients. His nurses, Lori and Debbie, are amazing as well- kind, attentive and very knowledgeable. Jim is one of the few people that can administer anesthesia and I have no adverse side effects. An amazing group of people who truly care for their patients! Reduces my pain and swelling
Dr.Raphael is an incredible doctor with a very caring bed-side manner. He explained everything in great detail. I have seen him for 3 seperate surgeries, and I am thrilled with the results !!! He is AWESOME !!! His staff is outstanding !!! There is just no other word to describe his entire office and operations !!! I do recommend him to everyone that I know !!! Thank God for people like him and his wonderful caring staff !!!!!!!!!
Dr Raphael makes you are the only one having surgery . He makes me feel at ease and explains everything thoroughly. His anesthesiologist , Jim is also very reassuring. Dr Raphael and his medical team are the best. I highly recommend them to my family and friends!! Dr Raphael takes time to listen to every patients needs and explains the procedure giving you a sense of confidence and reassurance
The coordinator was welcoming at reviewing my needs, very knowledgeable and thorough in reviewing all my options.The pictures helped support the right decision process for my needs/likes.The Dr. and friendly staff cater to your voiced needs/likes without leaving you with any upselling surgery feeling. And most importantly, Dr. Raphael's carisma and amazing track record makes you feel you arrived to the right hands. No need to go anywhere else.
I think Dr Raphael is a gifted artist. He doesn't over do the procedure. My friends comment that I always look good or better as I age but I never look as if I had any surgery done. I will not go to anyone else. he's the best!!
Everyone was very friendly and open to hearing about my concerns and expectations. I really could tell why they are leaders in gender conformation surgeries. Dr. Raphael is the nicest man and was very good with language (referring to me as male and using my pronouns). All of the appointments were informative and helpful. The guidelines for post operative care were very specific and beneficial. I was completely comfortable before, during, and after the surgery. I was very warm with the blanket and the entire experience was wonderful. I had virtually no pain, and I am very pleased with the results. Overall, the best experience I've had in a medical facility. Thank you so much.
I was Highly Satisfied with my experience. Due to special scaring issues and recovery time I have decided it would be best to wait until after summer to have my surgery. The only part of my visit that could have been better was initial wait time.
I was amazed during my consultation that they were able to read my mind and know exactly what my insecurities were. Dr. Raphael also did a thorough exam and shared with me other issues and concerns from my breathing due to a broken nose and having no cartlidge. He was very clear and answered all my questions. If I ever had a concern after the procedure, the staff was quick to get back to me and answer all questions. I can now breathe at night, and am no longer insecure of my nose when I go out in public. Thank you!
I had old implants removed, new put in and a breast lift. I didn't have major extra skin, so I would consider it a minor, lollipop lift. I have a crease of extra skin under both brewers and my nipples are different. This is 6 months later so I'm confident nothing else is drastically changing. I've been to the office about 5 different times post op to see Dr Raphael and have always voiced my concerns. While he was so helpful and took his time during consult, I feel like the post op are a strategically planned task to just get you out of the office. He's still very nice, but when I point out he just quickly says how great it looks, still healing, it's not an issue. Literally every time I've left the room, I have a feeling of what just happened?!?" Like I just got hustled out of the room. It's definitely well practiced. "
Everyone was friendly respectful and Dr Rapahel was so reassuring.everyone I came into contact with 100% helpful and kind.From Chelsea to mickey to diane and to debbie and to raphael the surgical nurse anaesthesiologist to the photographer to Cindy at the surgical side.wonderful and my kid is so happy with the result
Dr. Rapheal and his whole staff made me feel comfortable and excited about my procedure. I always felt great when I left because of the friendliness of the staff and everyone's so helpful. They really took care of me. I feel beautiful again.
Leslie as well as the main nurse that helped me (feel terrible I'm forgetting her name) were amazing. They both were so personable and caring. Everyone was great and Dr. Raphael was so nice he made me feel at ease before surgery. Every time I have emailed or called Leslie after surgery she has been nothing but phenomenal.
I love all my surgeries. I have minimal to no scarring and healed quickly. I love my body again
I was treated with such a great amount of respect. From the nurses to the surgeon, every one was so nice. They were very reassuring and answered all questions. It was my first surgery and I will be back to Dr. Raphael in the future.
I had a BBL as well and I don't see much of a difference. I would have liked it bigger and more plump it's still flat in some places. For the price I paid I would have liked exactly what I was asking for. I have an follow up appointment on the 13th but I'm not sure if anything can be done.
Some portions of liposuction were satisfactory some areas that I wanted prioritized were not.
I was not able to communicate with Dr. Raphael before or after my surgery due to his over booked schedule
I'm more positive and have a whole difference outlook on life I'm so happy how my results are coming thru . Everyone was very friendly Dr Raphael Was very polite and funny he's a great doctor makes you feel comfortable and I felt safe under the knife with him so I will definitely go back if I ever need another procedure our recommended Dr Raphael
Friendly staff, Dr. Raphael is best surgeon around! Beautiful office. No wait time!
I saw another provider previous to this visit, they were rude and limited times to be seen. I was referred to this doctor by my aunt. They had great availability for the consultation as well for the surgery. Waiting time was short and the doctor was great. Can't wait for my procedure to happen.
Felt rushed, the coordinators/assistants are not as professional as they should be, they are not quick responding to emails and sometimes takes weeks until they respond- communication and getting a hold of the doctors assistants is not up to par as far as my expectations.
The Dr was patient, caring and listened. His staff is very professional and informative. Made me feel special not a number or just out for my money. I feel better about myself and the way I look and I get better interaction with strangers
I loved the staff! Being a single mother they have worked with me beyond all expectations making it easy for me to come in and everything else. Great service and love the work! Can't wait for the surgery!
This was the most wonderful experience and I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Raphael and his team.
Dr. Raphael and his staff were all very kind, professional and helpful. They treated my wife and I very well, answered all my questions, and my surgery results are excellent.
Felt very comfortable with consultant and surgeon. Beautiful facility and the front office staff had smiles on their faces and seemed very relaxed. My daughter had a procedure by Dr. Raphael and it turn out perfect. The staff was very accomodating and Dr. Raphael was very caring. I can not wait to schedule my surgery with Dr. Raphael.
I feel comfortable and confident again. . Dr. Raphael is an amazing surgeon. He makes you feel like the most important patient of his day. He takes time getting to know his patients so that he can truly understand what their goals are. I am beyond thrilled with my results.
From my first visit until today I Had a fabulous experience with each person in the practice and their knowledge of the procedure and what to expect, flexibility on everything, respect and knidness shown to me. I am in healthcare and am very picky. This was great!
Great natural looking results. Dr.Raphael is very professional and extremely well mannered and I am very happy with the natural results.
For me, the best thing about the procedure and experience was that I was able to find a surgeon with excellent experience at doing it as well as a friendly and welcoming atmosphere in which to have it done. . From the very beginning of the process, everyone I encountered in the facility was friendly and knowledgeable. I never once felt judged or uncomfortable with anyone I encountered, even though my particular procedure isn't a typical one. Because I was coming from out of town and having to work around my full time job schedule and my wife's as well, the staff was incredibly flexible and accommodating with scheduling the surgery as well as the pre and post op appointments to fit our needs and save us time and money. I have been pleased with the result of my surgery so far as well. I am very impressed with the facility and would recommend it to others.
The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The wait time was minimal. They created a warm, hospitable environment that made me feel very comfortable and at ease.
The post-op experience was very poor. It was recorded. Information was given by Debbie then later on the phone was completely different that what she said in the office. She talks very quickly, and there are NO WRITTEN DIRECTIONS ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT AFTER-CARE WITH THE TAPE, STERI-STRIPS, THE DIRECTION OF THE TAPE, THE PRESSURE SHIRT, ETC.! She is very fast-talking with this information. I feel that Dr. Raphael should be there initially to look at the patient. We were not happy with that at all. If Dr. Raphael could here how fast she talks to the patients and how quickly the info is given to them, I do not think that would make him happy at all. I was told my son should come back in a month. When we were leaving, Debbie says he did not need to come back for 3-4 months, or at all. What? Why do your post-op directions contradict what she says? Her directions were NOT clear, as there are too many variables that can happen. An explanation of what COULD happen should this not be right, etc., should also be available. Patients should also be given a visual print-out of what a healed chest should be looking like at certain points in next coming months. She seems so used to doing her speech that she leaving out the most important people--the patients! For this reason and this reason only, I would NOT recommend this practice to others. Some some of protocol should be followed for ALL patients. What would it hurt to have an online power point for after-surgery care? It needs to be standard, without her spewing out the words rapid-fire. That was most unpleasant and not at all helpful. If we would not have recorded it, we would have had to call back countless more times than we already did!
The staff was very was very polite and knowledgeable. The doctor was very direct on what he noticed, and believed he could do for me. I was very satisfied with how attentive everyone was.
The staff is very sweet as well as Dr. Raphael.. I feel very comfortable having the surgery done in his hands!!
How Dr Rapael raised my comfort level. Dr. Peter Raphael made me feel very much at ease, as did Catherine at my initial visit. They were both very easy to communicate my needs to, and Dr Raphael even helped me understand how rewarding my procedure would be. I was nervous about having the procedure done prior to my initial visit, but ater that visit, it was a a very easy choice to make. Had I known how uncomplicated the procedure was, how professional Dr Raphael and his staff were, I would have done the procrdure years ago. If I watn something else done I will certainly not hesitate to have Dr. Raphael do it. I feel incredible!
I was immediately made comfortable. My nervousness was understood and everyone worked as a team with me.
The experience was less painful than I thought. Highly professional staff. I would love to work there!!!!
Wonderful staff that was very kind and understanding. Dr. Raphael is an amazing person and phenomenal surgeon. His staff is very knowledgeable. His office is beautiful and the surgery center is right there!
Dr. Raphael and his staff are extremely professional and skillful at what they do. I felt comfortable and well-informed during the consultation. I am thankful for the help and information that was provided to me.
Very professional and yet I didn't feel like I was in a clinical setting. Everyone was very personable and welcoming. I also noticed that they all seemed to love their jobs. That makes me much more comfortable, especially in a medical enviroment.
I was very satisfied with the way the staff and Dr Raphael communicated to me with everything, from the pre op to the recovery. The anesthesiologist called the night before and was very specific on how to take my meds prior and did everything possible to prevent nausea.Dr Raphael explains everything he is going to do and I have been very pleased with the results.I have been to other plastic surgeon and have regretted it. Dr Raphael will be the only one who ever does any surgery on me! I was very happy with the results of my surgery. His staff are warm and caring and answers all of my questions. His anesthesiologist called the night before and id everything possible to prevent nausea. The preop instructions are clear and written down. Nurses called to check on me. I have total confidence in Dr Raphael's skill as a surgeon Everything he touches looks beautiful. I will never have another surgeon do procedures on me. He is the best!
Dr. Raphael was wonderful as always. He made me very comfortable. The surgery results are wonderful. I am so happy. The surgery staff was very kind. The post op nurse was the best. Overall the entire staff was fabulous. I finally am the woman on the outside that I have always been on the inside. Thank you.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very prompt responses and very informative.
Unable to provide post surgery pictures or patient references.
They took the time to hear about my concerns and Dr Dulin was very understanding and knowledgeable
Dr. Raphael really did make me feel comfortable about the surgery. He answered all the questions I asked and explained them thoroughly. Leslie was the nurse and she was very nice and very helpful. She went above and beyond to set up my surgery even though they were booked. She has been in contact with me almost daily helping me get everything in order and make sure all of the medications I take daily are ok to continue before surgery. The staff there was beyond nice I got there and hour early and they still managed to get me in with no problems. Very pleased
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
The staff is friendly and genuine about caring for me and my goals. They have been helpful and informative, have worked with me in ways that really count and I'm very excited about my surgery happening! I've seen Dr. Raphaels work and am pleased with his results. I hope I see the same for myself.
Better knowledge of final would have been helpful. I ended up smaller than desired. Disappointed in that, but the work was excellent. Suggest better before and after representation. Hard to know what to expect...
There was a lot of waiting time. I was informed they were very busy and I understood.
Doctor & nurses are wonderful! Especially Dr Rapheal & Nurse Debbie Smith RN & Lori Webb RN. Rest of staff is great too. Office is run very professionally & is aesthetically pleasing.
Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. I got a good vibe from everyone I interacted with.
they did not make me feel uncomfortable, felt very warm and welcoming wasn't so serious and to the point, jokes where made im overall excited about my procedure within the next two weeks.
Dr. Raphael has already done 2 separate operations on me and I am so ssatify that I'm coming back for a third operation.He is a Master level on his craft.I feel very lucky to be his patient and will never consider any other doctor.In my opion he is the BEST!
As a Female to male transgender, my breasts were inhibiting my ability to live my life fully. Now, I can live a better life. . All of the staff was great and did not confront me about my gender. The recovery was great and the care was wonderful. I loved my experience and would do it again in a heartbeat.
The staff was very nice, and answered all my questions. The surgeon made me feel so comfortable and also answered all my questions. I was shown a portfolio of previous patients results. They gave me so many details regarding my surgery. I learned so much more than I expected. The consult could not have gone any better.
Dr Raphel's personality! The comfort it brought me was truly a blessing!!! My over all experience was amazing!! I'm extremely happy with my results!! Dr Raphael personality was warming & comforting!! As scared to death of any surgery that I am, I knew I was in good hands with Dr. Raphael!! His staff was on point! They were all friendly & helpful! You can tell that they love their job & was passionate about it!!! I highly recommend Dr. Raphael!! I love Dr Raphael & his staff!!!!
I went in for a breast augmentation and lift consultation and was made very comfortable by all the staff. The nurse can in and spoke with me before the Dr came in and talked to me about the process. He came in and went over everything with me and made me feel so comfortable and about the procedure .
My Son was treated with the upmost respect, we all were. Would highly recommend. Thank you to Dr. Raphael and his Team!
Dr. Peter Raphael is an amazing surgeon. His humbleness shines through not only him but his work. I have over 25 thousand follwers on my instagram social media account and many have messaged me and told me that they have changed their mind about their initial surgeon and have decided to go with Raphael. My results are not only amazing but Dr. Raphael is an artist and my chest was his canvas. I'm absolutely and undoubtedly so glad I chose Raphael and the American institute for plastic surgery. The single best thing about this surgical procedure is that it allowed me to finally be free. I'm a female to male transgender and freedom is something that means the entire world to us when we can finally be set free of the weight we have on our chests" literally and metaphorically. Dr. Raphael saved my life and allowed me to have a new outlook on life. "
I thought the surgeon was very nice and he made me feel very comfortable with all of my questions. Also Catherine was very nice and helpful. I look forward to my surgery and how it is going to change my body.
Friendly, knowledgable staff. Professional office. Good doctor & nurses. Aesthetically pleasing environment.
Staff is great and Dr Pete has provided two surgerys in the past, I stick with what works- thank you
I had a wonderfully positive experience with Dr. Raphael and his staff. Everyone was kind, courteous, and polite through the whole process. Everything was explained to me in great detail, and any questions I had were promptly and expertly answered. All staff members took great care to use my preferred name and pronouns, which meant a lot to me. I would absolutely go to Dr. Raphael again if I needed another procedure. As a trans person, this procedure has made my life so much better. I no longer have to bind my chest for 8+ hours every day, dealing with discomfort and chafing. I no longer have to hide my chest, because I have the chest I want. I can now go shirtless without it being a big deal. I'm so much happier after my procedure.
My lower face lift was not successful and I still have the laxity in the skin around my chin and jawline that was why I was doing the procedure in the first place.
Having the opportunity to have a double mastectomy has changed my life tremendously. I couldn't be happier with the results! Being trans* and having experienced some though experiences in health facilities had me feeling quite nervous prior to my first visit. I, since have visited several times for my after surgery check up and I couldn't be more comfortable seeing the friendly staff, and Dr. Raphael treating me like a friend. . The kind of service the staff and Dr. Raphael provided were nothing less than professional. I went in quite nervous about the procedure I was getting done, and I left there with all my questions answered and feeling like they really cared for me as a patient. I often recommend this team to any one wanting to have a double mastectomy.
Dr. Raphael's work speaks for itself. He is a highly competent surgeon who is well known in the trans community. The office staff are very trans friendly and the environment is friendly. The patient coordinator is knowledgeable and friendly as well. Dr. Raphael's entire team works well together and one gets the sense that they are happy to help you feel better about yourself. The environment is upbeat and the staff seem genuinely happy in their jobs which makes the environments so much more pleasant. Dr. Raphael established rapport immediately with me and assured me that he could help me have the chest I desired. He delivered which was no small feat considering I was sporting DD's with lots of stretch marks. I am quite pleased with the end result. He is an artist! He clearly loves what he does and cares about his patients. The cost of the service was reasonable as well as there was no hospital stay involved. The follow up care was excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Raphael for his surgical and interpersonal skills as a provider. His whole team functions well and I do believe this reflects his leadership and values. It was important to me to feel comfortable in the setting in which I was receiving services as not all the providers I contacted were comfortable with trans people. The surgeons I'd contacted did perform top surgery but none were as competent and confident as Dr. Raphael. Dr. Raphael's surgical skills are the best of any surgeon I've seen and his interpersonal skills put him head and shoulders above the rest. It is easy to see why people travel to see him. I drove from Houston to see him and would do it again. It's very clear that Dr. Raphael has a great working relationship with his team and his patient coordinator particularly. People are treated kindly and with respect. Other offices I contacted seemed uncomfortable with trans people even though they advertised as performing the service I sought. I highly recommend Dr. Raphael and his team.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
Post op info was contradictory amongst shared docs & positioning of nipples is considerably & noticeably unnatural.
Very caring and professional staff. They seems genuinely happy to have me as their patient.
I have used this dr several times. The dr and staff is always so friendly and helpful.
The surgeon and the nurse were great and informative. It was a great environment And I felt very confident in their abilities
All staff was helpful and informative and my results were excellent. I am more then pleased with all aspects of my experience
Everyone is very helpful and freindly. They also stayed on top of things and stayed in constant contact. Their response time is amazing!
All the staff members were helpful and friendly. They provided all the informational materials I needed to make my decision and how to prepare for the procedure. I felt comfortable.
The staff I was in contact with during my consultation (over e-mail) and during my scheduling was great and friendly and were able to answer all questions I had. Despite the consultation and scheduling being done over e-mail, I never had to wait more than a business day to receive a response to my e-mails, even though I would often take more than a couple days to respond.
I had a very specific window of time to schedule surgery due to work and travel constrictions, and the care coordinator was very helpful in making sure that things could be arranged to fit my needs. I am looking forward to my surgery, and have heard nothing but good things about Dr. Raphael.
Dr Raphael was great. He was understanding, honest, seemed to really pay attention and care what I was saying. I didn't feel rushed during consult. I didn't schedule before leaving but did call the next day to schedule my appointment which is in less than a month.
I am an FTM transender man. This surgery has been a saving grace. It has changed my everyday life in every way. All of the staff was extremely helpful and respectful. The results of my surgery were excellent.
I was really pleased with the assistant Leslie. She was very informative and brought relief to me about concerns based on her very own experience with surgery. I also appreciate the realness of the consultation on what to expect and did not feel forced into anything. I like the way the Dr. showed his genuineness in caring about what I want done as far as surgery goes.
The results are better than I could have even let myself imagine. The bedside manner of all employees was amazing! I've worked in the field and it still surprised me. Beyond amazing staff and reasonable prices.
It has given me the confidence I need to live my life to the fullest. The staff were absolutely profession as well as calm and calming (my mother was worried about my procedure). Everyone was amazing. The facility was clean, well organized and nicely decorated. Honestly, the only negative thing I could possibly say was wait time was a bit long the first day. Beyond that everything was above and beyond what I expected.
As with any major surgery, the foremost concern is preparation for complications and prevention of infection. Neither complication nor infection were experienced. Of course, repairing my congenital defect with total succes was the single best thing. I have received multiple services including laser/IPL hair removal, minor surgery, and major surgery. I am extremely satisfied with all outcomes. Dr. Raphael and staff are caring and highly skilled medical professionals.
Very few in the world could do what Dr Rafael does. Debbie & Dr Rafael are so amazing. They are both so knowledgeable, caring, supportive & have a great bedside manner. Dr Rafael does awesome work!
Love the doctor, confidence in a s uccessful procedue, price is fair.Staff was sooooo nice!
The fact that I can look at myself and see me. I have never felt more comfortable with my body and the confidence boost is out of this world. Dr Peter Raphael and his whole office was perfect down to a T. With his nice bed side manner and the understanding of how important this procedure was to myself and the there warms my heart and he will always be my recommendation to others. I could not be more happy with how well I was taken care of and my results. Thank you dr Raphael and know you are very well respected all over the United States.
The entire procedure was equally amazing. I was highly satisfied because the staff was amazing and made me feel very very comfortable and my results were incredible
I love the way my body looks. Dr. Raphael's bedside manner was amazing he was funny and I really enjoyed his time and the results of my operation were amazing
Just everyone was kind and I would love to keep coming there.
I was made to feel incredibly comfortable during my stay and everyone I spoke with was very very nice and professional.
Dr Raphael made me feel very at ease. He was comforting, kind, and understanding. I felt confident I was in good hands with this highly trained & professional physcian.His senior patient consultant, Catherine , was also very kind and thorough. I am still waiting to hear if the procedure will be coverd my my insurance.
Dr Harris has done several procedures for me and they have always turned out simply amazing. I can't imagine going to anyone else!!
I really liked Dr. Raphael. He seems very knowledgable and experienced. He's been doing this a long time and keeps the same staff constant. Very nice.
Everything is the best. Dr Peter Rafael is the best , he is experienced , knowledgeable , so kind and honest , he cares about his patients like his own family and his staff are the best and very helpful , customer service is well organized and professional , Dr Rafael saved my sister's life and gave her another chance to live happily . He is an angel and we are thankful and blessed to have him in our lives .

the entire staff, including my surgeon, were all very helpful and respectful to me as a trans guy. that's very important for a place that helps a lot of transgender people. it was a very comfortable experience and I felt well-informed about the whole process the entire time.
Surgeon was very nice outgoing respectful and nurse they game a better price than what I expected made me feel safe to know I can trust them
The surgery turned out great. My wife and I were treated with RESPECT and you don't get that everywhere. The price was great ! I
The staff and doctors are respectful, competent, caring, helpful, and over all awesome!Dr Raphael has performed two major surgeries on me, FFS and GRS and both were excellent work on his part. I have scheduled breast augmentation with his office for mid July.I have also refered numerous patients to him who has be esthatic with his work.
Amazing staff and surgeon Finally in a body that I am comfortable with. Too surgery has changed myLife.
The way the whole staff treated me. They all were so nice and social making me feel very at ease and comfortable. . This was first surgery ever. Everyone receptionists, cashier, nurses, and doctors" was very social and nice. They made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I was kept informed throughout the whole procedure. I was very well taken care of and everything went by fast. I never felt uncomfortable. I would recommend Peter Raphael, MD and American Institute for Plastic Surgery's whole team to anyone looking for quality service and excellent work/results. Thank you all at American Institute for Plastic Surgery!! "
I really liked the atmosphere and people involved in the process. Everyone was kind and helpful, and the facilities were very nice. My only issues were lack of availability for dates and excessive waiting time at points.
The Doctor and staff were very nice and professional just the quote was very high. I will get it done, just not here.
Miss Catherine Walker scheduled my consultation and procedure with Dr. Raphael. Miss Catherine kept in touch with me and helped me get the required paperwork for the procedure. Dr. Raphael talked to me in the consultation and explained to me what could be done to achieve what I wanted. Dr. Raphael performed the procedure and was the utmost professional. He is always very friendly and treated me like family. The staff of the surgery center were also very professional, friendly and attentive to my needs. Dr. Raphael's nurses, Miss Debbie and Miss Lori are always absolutely wonderful. Everyone of at American Institute for Plastic Surgery is wonderful. I always feel like I am going home when I go to their office.
My niple graffs are perfectly symetrical and look just right. My chest reconstruction surgery was flawless, Dr Raphael and his staff are caring professionals that made sure I was informed, listened to, and comfortable during the entire procedure.
I've had prior surgery, loved the results!! I wouldn't con cider another plastic surgeon!!
The interactions with the surgeon and staff, I felt very welcome and at ease. . Dr.Raphael, Catherine Walker, as well as the entire staff at Institute made me feel great! I was provided with knowledge, a friendly professional environment, as well as a very courteous interaction.
Love Dr.Pete, he is caring & takes great care of his patience. His team is stellar!
I was highly satisfied because the staff treated me with care and were very open regarding my questions. Dr. Raphael was so warm and sincere about what I needed to have done in order to give me the result I wanted. My fiancé was allowed to stay in during the consultation and his questions were answered as well.
Everyone was nice, they made it easy, and the price is reasonable with all costs included aside from prescriptions.
Dr. Raphael and Catherine were so nice to me. Everyone was nice and always nice to me. During my first surgery and now for the consultation.
Cat was absolutely amazing . Yes I'm going to tell everyone I know about y'all.
Very professional. And my Obgyn to whom I highly respect is the one who referred me to this practice.
The person who spoke with me before the doc came in was on auto pilot, talking fast and assuming I understood what she was saying. My appt was first one of morn so no reason for it. The process was too assembly line like. Also the grout in lobby is very dirty. I'd like to see a much cleaner Lobby.
The doctor and the staff made me feel very at ease and comfortable during the consultation. I look forward to having my surgery with Dr. Raphael.
I have more confidence, with the removal of extra skin which resulted from losing a lot of weight. . I am a pharmacist by trade and have had several surgeries, as well as working in different healthcare settings. This was one of the most positive experiences I have had. The staff from the receptionist to the Dr. Raphael/Anesthesiologist were very helpful, pleasant and supportive. I am very satisfied with my results and am planning another procedure for later this year. I recommend Dr. Peter Raphael without hesitation. He is the best!
HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL DOCTOR AND STAFF. EVERYONE I HAVE MET ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND CARING. I AM HIGHLY CONFIDENT IN DR. RAPHAEL'S ABILITY AND PERFORMANCE. HIS GOAL IS TO PLEASE HIS PATIENTS AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH THE PROCEDURES HE HAS DONE FOR THEM. I REALLY LOVE THIS DOCTOR AND HIS WORK.
They really took the time to talk with us and explain how everything would work. Very personable staff and surgeon
I had a hematoma following surgery, terrible swelling/pain that I have not seen consistent with other patients. When asked what to do about it the staff didn't give much attention/help. My nipples also look nothing like nipples
This is my second surgery with DR. Raphael. The clinic is very modern, the staff is very professional and respectful, and DR. R's personal staff are very knowledgeable to the specifics both pre ad post op for all the proceedures that he performs. His staff as well as himself are also very non-judgmental and comfortable to be around. My personnal experience has been nothing but satisfaction. I especially appreciate the care and follow up conducted after each surgery which has been consistant and at no cost after both proceedures. If I had one complaint, I would have to say that the surgery center prior to going into the operating room was extrememly cold. Other than that, I have experienced nothing but respect since I have been DR. Raphael's patient. My personnal gratitude goes out to this surgeon.
I'm much more confidant with myself know. Everyone I came into co tact with was very nice, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.
Catherine was knowledgeable, helpful, and discreet.Dr Raphael managed to put me at relative ease with regards to a procedure that can't help but be terrifying.
I just felt like he tryly care about whatvi wanted and was honest in what was more covinient for me!
Felt staff was not completely honest about the recovery process up front. Knowing all patients vary in recovery process, I would have appreciated being told the worst case scenario (which was me).
Follow up scheduling was very unorganized with communicating to me whether I needed to make any additional appointments after my first post-op meeting. The first two were rescheduled due to surgery times being moved at the last minute. I didn't actually have a one week post-op appointment until almost two weeks later at which time I was seen only by the nurse on duty. The office staff overall are very pofessional, yet I feel as if there was more concern for me prior to my surgery than afterwards. I figured out on my own that I was to schedule all my post-op appointments. No comments were made to me regarding when I should be seen again or that I was to initiate the scheduling on my own.My only concern is the office to patient and inter-office communications. So far I'm satisfied with my overall experience and my surgery results.
This staff and surgeon were top notch. They treated me in such a friendly manner and really took the time to access my individual needs. I left there feeling like I was a part of their family and can not see myself going anywhere else for this procedure.
I feel very comfortable with Dr Peter. He listens to what I want and is realistic with what I desire. He speaks to me like an intelligent adult and respects that I have 100 questions. The pricing is reasonable as well.
Ive had procedures here previously, and feel they are lacking in the aftercare dept.
I just love how friendly Dr. Raphael was and his staff. He showed genuine concern and presented me with all my options. Very caring and sincere
Dr. Rapheal and Catherine are amazing. He has the best bed side manner. The whole staff is great and informative. This will be my second surgery with Dr. Rapheal. I am a repeat client.
Staff were friendly and respectful. Consultation began promptly prior to the appointment time since we arrived early.
Very helpful staff who understood type of surgery and did not make me feel bad or the need to explain myself.
Had great prep and information prior to procedure- surgeon heard what I wanted to accomplish with surgery and made suggestions for liposuction to add desired re-shaping of torso. Had been a pt of Dr Rapheal's 20yrs prior and was very pleased with surgical intervention. Great experience!!
I was shown the utmost respect by every single person starting with Angela who guided the paperwork and credit card process over the phone to the receptionist, nurses, on-call nurses, and of course Dr. Raphael. This was the first time I have ever had surgery and I am beyond happy with the total experience. Dr. Raphael is doing a service far beyond strictly medical reasons. He is changing people's lives, myself included. I walked into his office physically female and he gave me new life by removing my friends so I was able to walk out as male. I am beyond grateful for everyone at this office.
The doctor and nurse do their best to make you feel comfortable by not focusing on medical jargon when they communicate. I didnt feel rushed and was given plenty of info to look over.
I'm interested in having gender reassignment surgery and staff was very sensitive, validating, well educated in the matter. It was one of the more pleasant Doctor/medical experiences I've had.
Dr. Raphael was amazing! He understands the bodybuilding lifestyle that I lead and was able to really give me sound advice as to what I need vs. what I want plus realistic expectations after the surgery. He was so helpful and made meFeel very comfortable! I can't wait to go back and have this procedure done and know that I'm in the right hands!
Felt like surgeon and staff cared especially after I consulted with.PS in Houston that did another procedure that seemed better. They took the time to review the video and address my concerns w/o putting g pressure on me to change my mind. Also bcuz surgeon honored my request to NOT do FNG and he kept my size proportional. Also my boobies look GREAT!!!!!
I have called 2 times after the consultation to schedule the procedure. No one has called me back with available dates.
The staff was welcoming and made the experience comfortable and almost enjoyable, given that I had never had surgery prior to this procedure. I was very nervous but they took such good care of me I had no trouble. The surgeon was phenomenal. He was engaging and comforting as well and is very good about keeping you excited, happy and involved. Overall a wonderful visit and I would certainly recommend others to see them as well.
I feel very comfortable with the doctor. I feel he has the experience to provide great results.
I have had two previous procedures at this office. Both times everyone was professional, helpful, and I felt very comfortable. I trust Doctor Raphael and I know he is a true professional when it comes to his practice. I highly recommend him all the time.
The surgeon was very friendly and explained to me how he was going to do the procedure and the healing time. The staff was amazing and very helpful.
Provided so much information took the time to explain the procedure as well as what is required answer all questions very personable
Totally different from my first consultation. The doctor was positive and not at all condescending. Dr. Raphael described what he would do, was patient and answered all questions. His whole demeanor made me feel very positive about using him for this procedure.
The doctor and his assistant were very friendly and the way they explained the procedure
Dr Rapheal is a very humble man in my sight and is a true artist and a very loving and kind. A true perfectionist in his profession and I knew from the moment I met him I knew I was in great hands. An I was right. I had face, neck, brow, eye lid, lip lifts, nose job, lips augmented and implanted and chin softened and implanted. With all that I had done I had minimal bruise, with very little pain and OMG he has truly change me life with his excellent work. So much so I am having breast augmentation in November. God bless me to be put in the right hands.
The Dr and staff was very informative and pleasant. Made me feel at ease and comfortable and everything was very efficient
Felt somewhat rushed in consultation, not my experience in prior consults. Thought the procedure was overpriced, but did not compare with other physicians because I want Dr Raphael to do it. I was not shown before and after photos at consult and did not think of it until after I had left office.
Overall very good experience. Catherine and Dr. Raphel were very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable.
The staff was excellent, very friendly and informative. The doctor too is very friendly and really knows his stuff.
Doctor was very knowledgeable and thorough with his explanation of the procedures. I felt very comfortable.
Dr. Peter Raphael is friendly, funny, concerned, caring, creative, and a highly talented surgeon. Dr. Raphael's staff is also genuinely caring. I feel I have chosen the very best surgeon and practice for my procedure.
Due to a last minute sick kid. I had to bring my 2 year old with me to my appt. The staff was very quick to get us back to consult room and even pushed my appt up to help get me in and out quicker, while still giving me the important info to help me make decisions.
I'm a returning patient of Dr. Peter Raphael's. Not only is Dr. Raphael and amazing and talented surgeon, most importantly he's a great guy! His staff is amazing as well! His senior patient consultant Catherine has been with him for many years and she is amazing also! Dr. Raphael spends his time explaining any concerns or questions that you may have. He listens to you and also gives great advice. I'm extremely comfortable with Dr. Raphael. It doesn't matter if you had a procedure with him 15 years ago or 1 year ago, he always remembers you. I noticed right away the first time I had a procedure done with him that he truly cares about his patients. The first time I was ever considering a procedure I consulted with seven different surgeons before I met with Dr. Raphael and I knew right away I didn't need to look any further. My gut feeling was spot on and that is why I will continue to return to Dr. Raphael and would not consider any other surgeon for any of my future procedures. I would recommend Dr. Raphael to any friend, family member, or stranger any day of the week. I stand strongly by not only his ability as a great surgeon but his character as a person as well. I can go into my procedure 1000% knowing I am in the best hands possible. As far as I'm concerned Dr. Raphael is never allowed to retire!
Dr Raphael was an excellent surgeon for my 14 year old son. Not many will perform FTM top surgery on kids and he was genuinely understanding and caring. The surgery has made him a much happier and confident person. We had a great experience from their entire team!
I have not had my surgery yet, so I don't feel like I have enough information.
I was treated with dignity and respect regarding my choice of procedure. The staff were very friendly and professional hand that made me feel comfortable even though I was a bit nervous.
I really felt comfortable. It made me even more excited about my breast augmentation!
The doctor and consultant made me feel comfortable and was extremely professional! Can't wait to come back to him for my procedure! Just an amazing experience. Love this palace already!
I was extremely satisfied with the kindness and knowledge of the entire staff as well as Dr Raphael and my anesthesiologist. I will most definitely be returning for future procedures and I am recommending my friends choose this medical office for surgery or any cosmetic needs. Thank you Very much!
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
excellent staff, facility and Dr. Rapheal was fantastic.
Dr. Raphael was helpful and understood my needs. plan or having a few surgery with him.
Dr. Raphael made me feel very comfortable and the room was set up like a living room, which made it even more comfortable. However, I was a little disappointed in the fact that Dr. Raphael did not take the time to use a pen and mark the areas he was going to be operating on. He didn't explain or go over the method he would be using or give me details regarding the cost/benefit ratio of the procedure. He also did not mention his success rate with the procedure I would be doing or the potential complications I could face. Furthermore, I wish he would talk about the research behind the procedure and the success rate. All in all, he is the only plastic surgeon that made me feel very comfortable in my own skin. I just wish he went more in depth regarding my procedure so that I could feel more confident in his work ethic.
The knowledge, kindness and professionalism of Dr. Rafeal. The staff was also caring.
Dr Raphael was the best. The staff was amazing. They even answered questions via email regarding my recovery. They followed up to see how I was doi ng. They were perfect all around.
My eyes are not symmetrical ...even 5 Months out...But the Dr. told me healing takes a lot of time so we have a follow up appt. again in October, and Dr. Is willing to do a revision if need be.
I absolutely love Dr. Rapheal and the staff! They are truly my second family!
My overall experience was absolutely excellent! Dr. Raphael is a wonderful surgeon and such a sweet person. He truly listened to what I wanted to achieve and let me know what was best for me. Catherine is an absolute sweetheart as well! Love her! She helped me feel right at home. This being my first surgery, I was not as nervous as I thought I would be thanks to the entire staff; they were all so kind and comforting. I will definitely be back to be beautified by the great Dr. Raphael! Thank you all so much!
After consulting 4 Plastic Surgeons, Doctor Peter was the best choice for my procedure, I am so satisfied with the results, he and his nurses are professional and caring . If I have another procedure I will not hesitate to do it with doctor Peter.
I wish I had been informed about the possibility, first of all, of having a catheter put in and secondly, of possibly needing to go home with it still in place. I understand how it was helpful, but it was a bit traumatic because I had never been informed that it was even a possibility.
No one really understands how much this changed my life and I'm very thankful to the staff and dr Raphael for what they did for me and how excited they were to be apart of my big day
I unfortunately was sick and not able to do my surgery .... Am coming back now in August much healthier and ready for surgery.
The staff was very nice and positive. Dr. Raphael made me feel relaxed about the surgery. I am not fond of medical procedures. The top surgery for guys like me means so much. I have always felt good about myself but now I feel liberated after the surgery. evryone compliments on the look of my new chest. Thank you all for everything. I am seriously thinking about doing the bootom surgery for guys like me next Summer. Thank you all again.
Professional staff, no delay with appointment time, no long wait in the waiting room or exam room. Although the waiting area is freezing cold, still get high ratings from me.
I loved the compassionate nature of the whole office. They actually treat you like they care.
Every time I've come so far I've had to wait 30 to 45 min. After check in. Also, when I first came and checked in, the long wait for the consultation and lack of info about the place made feel very afraid. I felt like leaving and never coming back. But, then when I finally went back for the consultation, it was splendid. I felt so much better. I wish there was a way to make new patients feel more welcome when we first come- especially if the wait is over an hour like mine was.
From consultation, to procedure, to follow up: Dr. Rapheal and his team were amazing! Being transgendered you never know how people will treat you; Angela, the nurses, the photographer, Dr. Rapheal were ALL phenomenal! They welcomed me with open and and made me feel so comfortable! Dr. Rapheal is the only surgeon I will get use, HE'S GREAT! Thank you so much! I'm so grateful for you and your team and the precision and artistry of all methods! You are truly heaven sent! See you in a few weeks for Part 2!
I have been a patient of Dr Raphel for several years. I totally love Catherine. She is so experienced and helpful. She makes me feel very special. The staff is extremely knowledgable snd friendly. All of my questions have been answered. Additionally Carherine and Dr Raphel provided alternatives that I am extremely interested inane excited I feel like the suggested procedures are designed specifically for me. Not just procedures that I asked about, the suggestions were so exciting after the surgeon explained to be the best alternatives. Can't wait! My results have always been excellent!Looking forward to the surgery and the care offered the evening and say after the surgery.
Catherine and surgeon explained procedure and benefit of procedure. Feel very comfortable with knowledge and expertise
Both Catherine and dr Raphael were so friendly and caring.they answered all my concerns.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
Really like Dr. Raphael and would always recommend him.
I loved it only hibgs rooms so bright almost uncomfortable and kind of warm
The check in ladies wasn't very friendly didn't really feel welcome. They were to busy talking to each other.
Dr Raphael, came highly recommended by ladies in my fitness industry and i respect their opinion. Dr Peter is warm and genuine and it seems his staff is an extension of that. they are all in agreement with everything. I don't feel they're after my money. i feel they are after my best interest
Over all I had a very good experience and would highly recommend to others that wish to have this surgery
AMAZING staff! AMAZING Doctor. Kindness and sweetness and a very comforting environment. Thank you for providing such wonderful atmosphere. This procedure literally changed my life and I couldn't ask for better results or a better process.
The level of respect shown by the surgeon and all staff was beyond my expectations. Not to mention everyone I encountered who worked there seemed to love their job. What a wonderful place to be.
The coordinators made this process very straight forward and simple and I have confidence in the surgeons ability to do my procedure.
I felt extremely comfortable with all staff and most importantly my surgeon. All questions were answered before my procedure and all reviews were exceptional.
Dr Rapheal was AMAZING!! He answered ALL MY QUESTIONS with Much Knowledge and Caring, I was Completely at EASE from the time he walked into the room till he left!! Catherine was just as Caring and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to get me in as QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!!!! Lori was AMAZING!!! She was my private care nurse and I would Highly Recommend HER!!! Best BEDSIDE MANNER!!! I Had a Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift and some Lypo!! Would CHOOSE Dr.Rapheal and HIS TEAM AGAIN!! My ONLY REGRET IS THAT I DIDN'T HAVE IT DONE SOONER!!!
they are a wonderful team of professionals. yes I am coming back for more as soon as I can :)
i am willing to fly 900 miles and stay in a Plano hotel for a week to have Dr Raphael perform my surgery. I have complete confidence in his abilities because of successful previous surgeries. I also trust and respect his staff of patient advisors, nurses and anesthetists.
Katherine and Dr. Raphael, were not rushed; they both took their time to answer our qustions and concerns. I had two girlfriends recommend Dr. Raphael and I have friends who serve on medical board with him. Dr. Raphael came highly recommended.
My experience was amazing and absolutely adore Dr. Raphael and team. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job and making me feel very comfortable. I will be returning with my friend for our Lip Augmentation" with Dr. Raphael of course!! :)"
Dr Raphael was excellent in every aspect of my surgery. I would not hesitate to recommend or seek him again in the future for other procedures.thank you for taking care of me
The attention to detail and care of the staff and Physician were what I was looking for. Dr. Raphael came highly recommended by a friend who has very high standards so I had high expectations... which were met.
Dr. Rapheal was very kind and patient. He listened to my concerns and made some suggestions for a few other procedures and why he felt I would be happier if I chose to do them as well. When I questioned if I couldn't do all of them what would he suggest - he was able to help me break the procedures into two steps. I am still waiting to see the pictures that would show me what I could expect if I did all of the procedures.
Dr. Peter Raphael is an outstanding surgeon! Very detailed and persistent with his work. He is a true perfectionist. If I will have any other procedures in the future I will definitely come back and use his services.
The time and care that Dr. Raphael and his staff shared with me was greatly appreciated. I had several areas of concern to correct previous surgeries and all were addressed in detail. The communication with his staff is remarkable considering the busy schedule in his practice. I am five days post-op and feeling fantastic!
Very positive and I liked that Catherine has had some of the procedures I wanted so I could see the end results. I also have a friend who had these procedures and I liked her results. This guided me to except the surgery with Dr. Raphael. His prices are very good too.
Dr Peter Rapheal is an AMAZING surgeon I wish to thank him again
The staff is very friendly and comforting. Would definitely returnfor future surgeries.
Dr. Rafeal and his entire staff made my experience absolutely wonderful with results that far exceed my expectations. THANK YOU!
Dr. Raphael is very approachable, a great communicator, and highly skilled.
my face still needs work even when I had a face lift, upper and lower eye lid surgery and space between nose and lip reduced - If I do not say in the appointment that my eyes are not looking good, - the staff will not say anything. If I do not say that the skin in my jaw looks saggy they will not say anything - I wish they were more proactive and see that - the work is not done yet- why? and what will it take to fix it?
I am very short, and have a baby face. Naturally, I typically find it difficult to receive respect or the correct pronouns. I have never liked going to the doctor and I have never had surgery, so you can imagine how terrified I was for my gender reassignment consultation and the appointments that would follow. However, the second I walked into the office, I have never felt more comfortable. Everyone was so helpful, polite, respectful, informative, and kind. My surgery was completed very quickly and the healing process was incredible. My phenomenal results far exceeded my expectations! I cannot describe how grateful I am for the American institute of Plastic Surgery and Dr. Peter Raphael. My experience could not have been better and everyday I am so thankful for my life changing results. Thank you! :)
The surgeon took the time to meet with me, did not charge me for the consultation, and did not rush the visit.
I feel like my lips and upper lips are lopsided. I realize it's only been 3 months but I am thinking of going to another doctor to see what can be done. The implants are uneven and one side of my upper lip has headed different than the other side. In addition, there were a couple of stitches in my nose and once removed they have left scars on my upper lip. Scars running from the opening of my nose down. I did not have those originally. This is not what I bargained for at all and the money does not come easy for me. I had to take out a loan to have work performed and now I am making payments on something that everytime I look in the mirror I am so disappointed. I feel deformed.
Dr Rafael and his staff were wonderful. He was also very patient with my indecisiveness and helped me feel confident in the decision I made. Really pleased with my results!
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
Angela has been helpful, friendly, and professional far above and beyond expectations.
Great staff, very respectful, very knowledgable on transgender individuals, great doctor! I felt very safe and comfortable, the staff specifically made me feel like everything was going to be A-OK. Thanks guys!
the overall reputation of the clinic and Dr. Rapheal. the kindess of the staff and doctor were just outstanding. i wish the price was not so high on my male top surgery but i feel good about having it done there.
They were knowledgeable and accommodated my needs. The doctor understood my wants and needs
All of my questions were answered, and while the patient coordinator was enthusiastic and helpful, I didn't feel like she was trying to sell me anything. Everything was discussed upfront, not hidden fees or add-ons. She acknowledged my concerns and nervousness, tried to reassure me where she could but didn't make me feel silly for having them. I appreciate that they seem to understand the choice to have elective surgery is a big one for me!
Getting requested info regarding my decision to have this procedure- surg info/ financial info.
Dr. Peter Raphael and his staff where amazing and friendly and made me feel so comfortable when I visited and had surgery. To me he is the best doctor I've ever been to and he literally saved my life and I can't thank him or his staff enough. He is just amazing!!!!!
Dr. Raphael has the perception of an artist" as well as the skill of detailed surgery. His results are exactly what I envisioned. I look better but not over done. I'm VERY enthusiastic about the outcome of my experience with my surgery."
The staff and surgeon were very friendly and made me feel important and not just like one of many patients that come through there.
Dr. Raphael a genius, brilliant in his field. An extraordinary bedside manner. His nurse, Debbie Smith, compliments him. She is very caring and a true professional.Thank you for changing my life!Sincerely,Shelley A. Wilmot
I was very nervous about the consultation. Catherine and Dr. Rafael made me feel very comfortable about the procedure. I left feeling real good about making my decision.
Everyone was very friendly and knowledgable. Also, Dr. Raphael made me feel very comfortable during the consultation.
I love how the person who I was coordinating with was extremely friendly, and all the paper work was easy to fill out. Plus we got scheduled sooner than I thought!
Catherine could not have been more knowledgeable or thorough in the pre & post experience. The surgical nurse and anthesiologist were very calming and reassuring. Dr Raphael's treatment recommendations reflect a concern and expertise that make me feel like I'm a member of his own family. I flew from Phoenix, AZ for my surgery and stayed in a hotel for one week because there's no one else in the plastic surgery industry that I trust more.
Everyone was friendly. It was fast, informative and affordable.
Great staff working for Dr Raphael....didn't expect to feel as comfortable as I did with them since I wasn't comfortable w myself. They answered and listened to all my questions, couldn't of been any happier with them!!!!
The staff member I worked with was very nice and informative and I was able to schedule my surgery with no difficulty. I'm also pleased with the doctors results.
I was highly satisfied with my experience with Dr.Peter Raphael and his staff. Everyone was very respectful,kind,friendly and helpful to me.
These are the friendliest people ever. The surgeon has amazing results and I am impressed by every component I have encountered with them.
Dr. Rahpael made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. This was my very first surgery ever, and the surgery team made it to where I wasn't nervous at all and everything just went very smoothly. I am so pleased with my results, and can't thank Dr. Raphael enough.
Dr. Raphael is extremely personable and welcoming! Incredible bed side manners. Very friendly and talkative and his staff have been with him for 10+ years. Everyone seems to truly enjoy what they do.
Everyone was helpful and made me feel really comfortable. The facility was also really clean. I just felt at ease the entire time.
The people who work here seem to genuinely like working here. i'm going through insurance for my procedure and most insurance companies have found ways to not cover it. Dr Rafael has been on the phone with the insurance docs on behalf of the patients--I was extremely impressed to hear this. A plastics doc who is genuinely interested in the patients he's serving. I'm looking forward to scheduling my procedure. trust came easy and this place made me feel very at ease.
I felt like I didn't know exactly what to expect afterwards and that I expected my results to be better.
I loved how the staff was so professional and so friendly. Made me feel at easy and not nervous at all!
Communication, communication, communication. Knowing what was going on was a major stress reducer for me.
I have seen many results, since I am in a group where trans men post pictures of their chests every single day, and my chest looks as well or better than those of men who went to the most popular" surgeon, Garramone. Raphael gave a competitive price close to my home, and I feel proud taking off my shirt for the first time in my life. His bedside manner is exhuberant, fun, and intelligent, and when I was so nervous, this was appreciated. I felt very safe. His staff knows how to speak respectfully to trans people, and I felt comfortable with their level of knowledge for sensitivity. My nurse in the operating area was so sweet and respectful. She made me laugh to lighten the mood, too. I was grateful for a wonderful experience. Thank you... I have been recommending Dr. R to everyone. My photo of my chest at 1 month post-op got over 400 likes in a private group! "
I got the info I needed. It was all made clear to me about what I needed and needed to be prepared for.
Dr. Raphael and all of the staff were wonderful. I'm so pleased.
Incredibly friendly, respectful, and professional staff, great results.
Being new to surgery can be scary. Dr. Raphael and his team made it easy for me to get through everything. Great outcome as well.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
Everyone was very nice, and i liked Dr. Raphael's results
Loved Dr, Raphael. Everything went exactly as described. No complications whatsoever
I had and have the best Doctor (Dr Peter Raphael) and his staff were and still are exceptional!!!
I Felt like It was just my family. They made me feel like there Was nothing to worry about. Every question was answered and they made my girlfriend feel at ease while I was in surgery.
Dr Rafael did my nose in 2000 . his skillz are unmatched ...The new office and staff are amazing ..very exited to have procedure done.
Everyone working at the facility was extremely kind and helpful. I did not feel awkward at all and I was more than satisfied with my results.
The people I interacted with were friendly and knowledgeable. Any questions I had were answered in a timely manner.
I was impressed by the great breast augment. my best friend had by Dr. Raphael and so he was the first doctor that came to mind when I decided to have blepharoplasty. When I had my consult, although everyone was extremely nice, I did not feel the dr. examined me in any real way or paid enough attention to my case. I have since seen other doctors who examined my eyes with a measuring device/process and informed me I had an issue that needed to be addressed by an oculoplastic surgeon. Now I am confused and not sure how to proceed. I would like to hear what Dr. Raphael has to say.
I have previously used Dr. Raphael for a different surgery. He did a great job and his personality cannot be beat. He seems to care about you as a person, takes the time to explain the procedure in detail and is just all around pleasant.
I am very satisfied. Extremely satisfied. There are just time issues with getting surgery dates set up and then getting some answers to questions about post op results.
I am loyal to Dr Raphael and the team at the American Institute of Plastic surgery. The personalized care and attention given is second to none. I'm super pleased with my results .could not be happier.
Everyone at the office was respectful, and put me at ease. Very clear instructions, short wait times. Procedure went phenomenally. My expectations were exceeded.
Professional , personable, & competent staff. Comfortable and secure feeling about surgery.
Dr. rapheal was amazing & no pain at all! Just hoping after my swelling goes down my profile of my nose starts to dip more but that's something he's taking care of and I'm 100\% satisfied with that and every nurse at his office is so sweet and really helps you prepare for your surgery and even after surgery! I would recommended them to anyone and if I ever have another procedure done I would never go anywhere else.
Staff was amazing - friendly, funny - quirky - but professional and put me at ease. The whole experience was well planned well thought out and I was never in any discomfort. I was never nervous or apprehensive.
Everyone was extremely helpful, friendly, informative and courteous
I was very pleased with the outcome of my surgery. My results after vaginal tightening, hood reduction, clitoral reduction and labiaplasty are simply better then I could have ever asked for and life changing. I would highly recommend Dr. Raphael to friends, family, or anyone.
The staff was very helpful and caring. They answer questions and make you feel comfortable. The surgeon takes the time to listen to any concerns and discusses the procedure with you. I love my results and have recommended the center to several people already.
Excellent professional care in every aspect. I would highly recommend this practice for any cosmetic surgery needs.
The entire staff treated me like a family member from the first time I contacted their facility until the consultation. The Patient coordinator as well as Dr. Raphael on the day of my consult was very informative, professional and made me feel very confident this was where I'd have my procedure performed. All of my questions was answered with pictures of the procedure I'm having to prove the amazing quality of his work. I would highly recommend this facility.
My friend did the surgery with doctor Raphael. I went to consultation with her as well. The nurse and the doctor made us very comfortable and answered all the questions. Even more, they gave us information that we didn't ask and over all it was very good experience. And I also see my friend after her surgery. She looks amazing. Thats why im sure I want to do my surgery with this doctor '-)
Dr. Raphael's reputation and demeanor instills patient confidence that he knows professional procedures and is highly regarded in his field of plastic surgery. More than professional procedures, Dr. Raphael is an 'artist' who understands how to achieve positive results from surgery that leaves the patient looking truly better and not 'too much'. He really cares about the results of his surgeries. I feel that under his care and attention I am in good hands.
The staff was EXCELLENT and very friendly. Raphael was so calm and easy going, despite how uncomfortable he knew I was with that had to be done before my procedure. The entire office used my preferred name and pronouns and made me feel at ease and made the experience fun. The nurse I was to ask for in the event of questions post op was VERY informative and friendly. Lauri? or Lori? I think? Overall, very happy with my results and how I was treated. Very worth the money and I have recommended several to you since my surgery. Continue to be trans friendly and awesome!!!!!
I have know Dr. Raphael for last twenty plus years .He did my first lip suction,I have always been very happy with my results.
It takes alot for me to be highly satisfied. Everything was fine and the people were attentive enough.
I was very nervous about this surgery. Dr. Raphael had performed procedures on many of my friends and not only were they satisfied with the results i could see them first hand. I was comfortable with his staff and consultation. I'm highly satisfied with the overall results. I'm going back for more work in the future.I had:Laser Facial ResurfacingNose Cheek implantsbreast augmentationNeck/Face LiftUnderlidsI'm am more than satisfied with everything and everyone I've met was relieved that i still looked natural and everything looks right. I'm already scheduled for Lipo/and skin only tummy tuck.I've gone in also for botox treatments. The entire staff from the consultants, the nurses during the / before the surgery the anhestisialogist etc. all were just so nice, re-assuring and a wonderful bedside manner.I trust this doctor and even though i could get it done for less somewhere else - i know i'm in good hands.
Angela was wonderful and very caring, and showed compassion. No other surgeons or staff shpwed this level of compassion
Dr. Raphael and his staff are amazing! They are extremely respectful of the transgender community and make it a point to use preferred names and pronouns. I felt extremely at ease during all aspects of the surgery process. I felt as one of the family" and as though they all were taking care of me and my wife as they would their own loved ones. The information they provided and care they showed were very beneficial to my preparation and recovery."
The surgeon drew on my stomach and nobody offered to give me anything to remove the marks. I had saved up $6,000, which I had understood to be the average in Dallas. When I was told $10,500 I knew it was out of my range.
The Dr and his staff very friendly, the Dr help me understanding, and what is the best out come, no presure what so ever, and the clinic so awesome.. When I got the quote, very thing including, not like the other, so I know how to expected...
The staff was friendly, was more than willing to answer my multiple questions, made me feel comfortable, and were straight forward. Dr. Raphael was warm, friendly, and creative. He listened to my goals and used his experience and creativity to suggest alternatives that will have a better outcome than I could have imagined. He came highly recommended from my friend Tammy. Upon returning to Houston, I discovered that he is the brother in law of my best friend's brother. She had wonderful things to say about him as a person and as a surgeon. These recommendations from people I highly respect only acted to reinforce that choosing to go Dr. Raphael is the right choice :-)
Dr.Raphael and his staff are professional and caring about each and every step of the way.
I have had multiple procedure done by Dr Raphael.I would NEVER go to anyone else.He also saw me the very next day after a terrible fall that pushed my cheek implant into my eye.He manually manipulated it back down. I was able to avoid surgery. I have also seen him for other procedures. I LOVED the fact that several times he told me that it was too soon to have it done! Wow! A doctor that turns down money! I have often shared his number with many friends.
Now five months after the procedure, there really isn't a significant difference in the shape or size of my adam's apple compared with before photos. I'm not sure if I just had unrealistic expectations about the limitations of the surgery, but I question whether the procedure was worth the recovery and expense.
Each member of the staff is professional and friendly. Dr Raphael is extremely personable and has an excellent reputation
The staff/office were highly attentive to the nature of their business as it relates to someone like me. I was gathering information and facts, they were interested that I got such info and did not treat me as though I was merely an uninvolved client--but as one with a potential long term relationship.
The doctor told me exactly what he could do and what he could not do. The doctor also gave me his honest opinion about areas that I wanted to change that probably would not look good afterwards.
Dr. Raphael and his entire staff were truely professional as well as friendly. Easy to work with and always helpful in any and all my concerns. The surgery was excellant and my healing process was easy. The end results were very satisfactory and pleasing.Thank you to Dr. Raphael and his entire staff.
Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff-my usual experience with medical providers (especially for transgender care) involves having to explain everything and uncomfortable exchanges. I was immediately impressed.
Catherine was amazing. She knew that I was extremely uncomfortable being naked, and she tried her very best to put me at ease. She was pleasant and easy to talk to. So far my experience with this facility has been facilitated primarily by her. She is the main reason I have chosen to use Dr. Raphael. She returns calls promptly, and makes me feel important.
Dr Raphael's staff is extremely competent and very experienced. The atmosphere is relaxed and calming.
All the girls in the office are blonds and all of them look like they have fake lips. i don't like the lips on everyone , i know these dr.s invited them or something but they look so fake its not attractive.
I am sure that Dr. Ralphael is a perfectionist and have seen many before and after of his work in persona and in photos.
The bedside manner or the physician was excellent. The nurse who cared for me after surgery was awesome, as well as the anesthesiologist prior to surgery. Everyone at the office made me feel important and them showing concern was well appreciated. I just love Dr. Raphael, he is so funny, yet professional. Each nurse that was associated with my care has been a god sin in my recovery process. I would highly recommend services.
Dr. Raphael was extremely caring. He made me feel comfortable & made me feel at home. He answered all the questions I had.
I had my original lip implants at a different plastic surgeons office in 2006 and the care (pre and post op) did not begin to compare to AI4PS. At AI4PS, the Patient Coordinator (Catherine), NP (Lori) and my Doctor (Dr. Raphael) were top notch best of the best in their communications of what to realistically expect, down time needed and all other general questions I had concerning my lip implant revision and lip lift. My first surgeon did not even offer a post op! I get 3 post ops at AI4PS. Dr Raphael listened to what I wanted to achieve and even asked me to remind him the morning of surgery so it would be fresh on his mind - that was impressive. I loved the patient packet I received detailing exactly what to expect throughout the entire healing process and what to do to prepare. Plus, his work is stunning! I've done a lot to my lips in the past 12 years and his surgery by far granted the prettiest result. This practice from the doctor and the entire staff is wonderful, caring and kind. I've recommended 2 friends already who have been pleased with their services as well. I continue to see Lori for face injections and will have all my future surgeries done by Dr. Rahael.
Estoy muy agradecida con todas las atenciones recibidas por todos especialmente pir mi Dr Pedro Raphael es una persona maravillosa y como Dr es el mejor!!! Me he tratado con el por aproximadamente 20 anos y siempre he quedado muy muy satisfecha con las cirugias que he tenido con el . Dios lo bendiga siempre doctor es usted maravilloso.
The only complaint I have is that I was promised photo shop enhanced pictures of what the expected results would look like.
Excellent Staff in all areas. Especially my nurse friend who referred me. Dr. Raphael did a great job- (I'm pretty sure as the bruising is starting to dissipate & new contour beginning to take place.) So far good outcome! Plan to have other procedures in future & refer friends & family that may be interested.
Each person in the office is great. Dr Rafael is wonderful. Makes the experience very comfortable.
Peter Raphael is a humble and compassionate perfectionist who exemplifies integrity, humor, artistry, frankness, honesty, and he looks at his patients as humans, not bodies or parts or even a paycheck. He would not operate on someone who did not have realistic understanding of the procedure and a willingness to take care of his or her or their body. I felt completely safe and secure in having him as my surgeon and knowing that I would be respected as a human being and would not be dismissed, discounted or discriminated against.
Post-Op was communication were very minimum. Hard to contact nurses for problems and was given brief summary how to treat without providing some guide. Even after a few email contacts, I was still unable to get informations on how to care post-op. Wish there was some pamphlet or guideline that was provided just like pre-op.
I have a scar on my upper right abdomin from Gallbladder surgery when I was twenty one. Dr. Rapheal was the only Doctor that i consulted that even acknowledged it and how it would affect my tummy tuck. After hearing his concerns about blood flow to the scar and seeing the before and after pictures I knew he was the Doctor that I wanted to preform my surgery. His nurse Catherine has been very helpful and prompt with responses I have asked in e-mails since my consultation! I am very pleased with my overall experience!
The knowledge and experience of the staff was wonderful. The whole experience was wonderful
Dr and nurse were very personable and made me feel relaxed and comfortable and answered all my questions
The Dr. seemed very friendly--took his time and I didn't feel rushed. Almost felt like he was an old friend happy to see me.
I was very nervous to come in for a consultation but the staff and Dr. Raphael made me very comfortable and provided all of the information I needed and answered all of my questions. I was highly satisfied with my experience and have already scheduled my procedure for December 5th and I am very excited.
The staff and surgery experience was great. I did not have any complications.
The entire process far exceeded my expectations. I was very nervous as this was my first procedure but everyone was extremely helpful and kind and made the whole process very easy and natural. Dr. Raphael is absolutely amazing. Without having to say too much he completely understood my vision right on the money. He never tried to push a size on me and he is very visual and you can tell he has a very keen artistic sense. I was so happy with how everything turned out. I am about 5 months post op and everything is healing fantastically. They look so natural that not many people know I had anything done. I loved his work so much that I recommended him to 2 of my friends and they both used him for their procedures and are very happy as well. Dr. Raphael is amazing and he has such a welcoming, calming spirt, as soon as he walked in the door for the first time, I knew I was in the right place.
Dr. Raphael is by far the very best plastic surgeon I know. I have been seeing him for nearly 20 years and I would never even consider going to any other plastic surgeon. I have also referred several people to him, and they all agree he is the kindest, most attentive. and knowledgeable surgeon they have met. His attention to every detail the patient is hoping to accomplish, and his explanation of the procedure and what they should expect is thorough. He treats his patients with complete respect and makes each of us is the most important patient he has. He will give me as much time as I need to have all of my questions answered. He makes me, and everyone I know who has used his services, completely at ease, and he has our utmost safety, care, and outcome at the top of his goals. Thank you Dr. Raphael for all you have done for me over the last twenty years. Don't ever retire!!!!
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
They were friendly, knowledgable, and didn't sugarcoat. I am extremely excited to have the procedure done by this awesome group!
Dr Raphael and his staff were very nice and professional! It was reassuring to know that he has worked with several transgender patients and wants to help them find happiness with their body without judging them for not fitting a stereotypical mold of male/female perfection. Way to go!!
My concerns about my size were extremely important.I did did not want large breasts, just a pretty shape,(they were droopy with age) and size. Dr. Raphael made me feel very secure that he would do just that .He made me very happy, i am extremely grateful! I'm a Nana ,busy preschool teacher and pretty active. He gave me a nice small C-perfect!
Staff is excellent, very informative and willing to help in any way.
This surgery is hard for certain people to understand (FTM - top surgery). So it was especially nice to hear the correct verbiage used by the patient consultant and the physician as well. I researched the facility and specifically that physician whom I had my consultation with - I felt relieved and comfortable to know that I feel that I am in the right hands for this type of transition. I have scheduled my surgery for November and am excited!!
The doctor was great! He listened to what i wanted and gave me some suggestions and realistic outcomes. Not just what i wanted to hear. The coordinator is pleasant and answered all my questions.
Dr Raphael is a sweetheart as well as his staff, they are very thorough and accommodating , I really like his work with facial feminization.
Very happy with the results. The staff and Dr. Raphael were amazing, they did a really good job from my 1st appointment to my follow ups.
The nurse seemed enthused to do my procedure,bragged on how low pain...and great my results will be.
I loved the attitude and patient care given by the provider. I was told upfront and honestly what would be best for me. I felt no pressure at all to have my procedure by Dr. Raphael after I compared his practice with other choices. I appreciated the honesty and was very excited after I left his office.
I felt very comfortable with Dr and staff. They went out of their way to make me feel right at home. It was an overall good experience. I do however feel the Dr went a little larger than I requested. I wanted to be a full D and I am now a full DD...much larger than I expected. My husband is very pleased with Dr's decision however for me its going to take some getting use to. Facility was very nice and they do offer great care!
I was informed in detail about the procedure I wanted done. Everything went smoothly with no problems and I will have the procedure done in a couple weeks.
I love Dr. Raphael and his team. They are a very warm and genuine staff. I would not go anywhere else for a procedure. He is the best doctor!
The staff and the facility are all so nice and helpful. I didn't have any question they couldn't answer or concern they weren't compassionate to.
This was not my first procedure with Dr. Raphael. I was highly satisfied the first time. And both times, from the greeting in the office through follow up visits, I couldn't be more pleased with the level of professionalism. Dr. Raphael and his staff made me feel at ease and like I was their only patient. They treated my husband the very same way. I felt like I was we'll equipped with knowledge of my procedures...as well as a skin only tummy tuck I also had a lower face/neck lift and liposuction.
Simply stated, it would be difficult to express how I could more positively feel about ALL of the pre surgery and surgical experience. I was able to carefully express my anticipations... and now, almost 3 months later, I could not be more pleased! Kudos as well, for the entire nursing and support staff... what truly nice people, who are supportive in every imaginable way!
Dr. Raphael and his staff were amazing! I went to several consults before I made my final decision and couldn't be any happier with my final results. I love my mommy makeover (tummy tuck and breast augmentation). I would go back to Dr. Raphael if I had to do it all over again. He is very personable and easy to talk to. His work is incredible and I am very satisfied with my new body.
Have now set the date for the surgery, feel good about moving forward and excited to be finished
My experience was first class I would go back and would recomend It to all my friends. I could not ask for better care from the beginning to the end. Staff and everyone involved very helpful and friendly. There was no pressure to have any other procedures other than what I chose .just a great experience I am so pleased with results
I so appreciate the doctor(Peter Raphael) and his personal interest in what I wanted and needed. Gave me comfort that I was doing the right thing! Now being a Nana and kids grown and having their own families, I wanted to have a practical, yet shapely augmentation. I think my husband will be very pleased when I allow him to touch-LOL- after healing!
Dr. Raphael and the staff are exemplary. My first surgery with Dr. Raphael was in 2001. I've never been disappointed with any results. Dr. Raphael and his staff have helped me to maintain the appearance I desire. Great Team!!!
Dr. and all staff were friendly, answered questions, and were cheerful. Nice, new offices and waiting room. Overall gave me a feeling of confidence regarding the procedures.
Dr. Raphael, Nurse Debbie and Miss Catherine are always very professional, helpful and very caring. Going to AI4PS is like going home to visit family, only better.
I had a lipo procedure 14 years ago,and Dr.Raphael did a fantastic job!-so when I came in to talk about breast implants,he and the consult Catherine (I think)were great!-they listened and understand.i would recommend them to any one,and have!
I was referred by a friend who had a breast enhancement procedure. I did some research online first and wasn't happy with the surgeons before & after pics. But this doctor knows what he is doing. I just have to quit smoking first :/
Very professional and welcoming staff. As someone who is trans, I could not be more satisfied with the level of care I recieved there.
I've referred several friends to Dr. Raphael already and will continue to do so. He and his staff are extremely courteous and go to great lengths to make patients feel completely comfortable. I'm very satisfied with the results of the rhinoplasty and breast augmentation that he performed.
I had never had a cosmetic procedure before, and after losing 100 pounds from diet/exercise I had a lot of loose skin, and fat deposits in odd areas which were not coming off. I had put off having a combination tummy tuck (loose skin removal), and lipo for years, but after seeing the results, I wish had done this with procedure Dr. Raphael years ago, his work is impressive, and if I ever had another procedure to do, I would go back to him.
Post op question to Dr Raphael, he didn't want to go into detail about how he performed the face lift surgery. I was super curious after the surgery was done. I really wish he would have explained it to me wo just dissing the question. He may have too many patients and feel rushed?
Dr. Raphael & Staff were so nice and respectful. Everyone made me feel so comfortable and my family. The Doc has the best bedside manner. LOVED the outcome and will be back.
I used dr raphael for my breast augmentation and again for my rhinoplasty procedure. He was very honest and helped me achieve exactly what I wanted without really knowing what I wanted. He was a great guide
The entire staff was incredible, The outcome of my procedures look amazing, Dr. Rapheal was extremely helpful & insiteful as to how to approach & achieve the look I wanted for my face at my age! I feel I look very Refreshed and rejuvenated opposed to the harshly over done too young look" ! The compliments on his work have been overwhelming ..... No one can figure out quite what I did ;) "
Staff, personel, and surgeon were extremely professional, caring and seemed truly interested in me and what I wanted to do. Imwas impressed the surgical suites were on site and that a pre surgical apptointment will be made so the patient can tour the surgical area. For first timers, I believe that helps calm nerves!The facilities are clean and the ambience was comfortable.
Dr. Raphael was fantastic! I'm so happy with the outcome and from the very begining consultation, all the way through post op, every staff member answered all of my questions thoroughly and did an amazing job of making both myself and my boyfriend comfortable. The office was nice and the front office specialists were very friendly and welcoming. The very first appointment I made, the lady on the phone was great and even remembered me when I came to check in! The day of my surgery happened to be a morning when it was snowing and everything still went off without a hitch. The reason I decided to do my surgery as quickly as I did was because I was very impressed with the consultation. I also was referred to Dr. Raphael from a former patient of his who also had breast implants done and was very satifisied with her surgery outcome :)
The staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and readiness.Dr. Raphael is amazing. Not only his bedside manners, he is an artist. I've never felt better in all my years.Thank you guys; Dr. Raphael and his nurses are the same team I've gone to and sent family and friends to for the past 15yrs.
Dr. R truly is a talented artist who listens closely to what outcome you want and does not give you a cookie cutter" look. He strives for the perfect look for you! He is kind, compassionate and passionate about his work. I had rhinoplasty, eyelid surgiery and lipo, all done to perfection. Totally pleased. I would not go anywhere else. I also had a lip augmentation in the past and the results are fabulous! Great staff... Love Catherine and the nurses. You girls are the best! "
Both the Consultant, Catherine, and the Surgeon, Raphael, were very friendly and thorough throughout my consultation. I have already scheduled my surgery for the following month, with ease since they had availability on the day I was available. I did return to the office to look at more pictures other than the ones placed online, and I cannot wait for my Pre OP Appointment. I am a little nervous about the surgery, but I think that is normal. The staff here is very professional and I'm sure I will feel at ease.
Coordinator as well as sugeon were friendly, human, and professional in the manner in which they took time to listen to my concerns and wishes as the patient. Questions were answered to my satisfaction.Positive thinking and attitude regarding desired outcome
The doctor and staff were beyond exceptional! Everyone was super friendly and the doctor knew exactly what I wanted. He definitely has an eye for detail and was so kind. I had a great experience for my first consulation
The way you guys talking and listen what patients feel and care about themselves !
Dr. Raphael and his staff were absolutely amazing from the first phone call, through the entire procedure (Bi-Lateral Orchiectomy) and after care. I plan to return to see him for future things I want done, and have already highly recommended him to thousands of people I am connected through to on social media sites. I refer to him as the best kept secret among people who are born trans sexed.
Everyone in the office is so friendly and the information was very helpful and complete. I am looking forward to my procedure!
As a man of trans experience, I am usually treated with a certain amount of ignorance and disrespect. I am accustomed to people not understanding what or why I am and therefore reacting with alot of hostility. The professionals at this facility did not have this problem. They treated me with alot of kindness and respect. They appeared to be well informed beforehand of what it means to be transgender and used all of the correct language including pronouns! To many people, it may not be significant, but for a person like me, respect and being treated with dignity is something I have to fight for on a daily basis. So for it to be given freely and with no reservation left me floored to say the least. I wish this team the very best and am very much looking forward to scheduling the date of my procedure.
Dr. Raphael is simply the best. He knows exactly what he is doing and made me feel very comfortable and at ease about my procedure. The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The office and all the facilities are impeccably clean.

Extremely nice staff. Willing to help and go out of their way.
Everyone on staff was incredibly respectful and friendly. They made me feel secure and welcomed and expressed a genuine interest in helping their patients and a sensitivity to their needs.
Staff and physician were both very professional, knowledgeable and went out of their way to assist me and answer all my questions/concerns. I felt Dr Rapheal gave me some very sound/honest advice concerning the procedure I want to have and I really appreciated that. I would/have recommended him to a family member.
Dr. Raphael is a warm and caring doctor ........ I came to see him in August 2000 to have a breast surgery done, it was perfect !!! I trust him and know he will exceed my expectations !!! I love Catherine, she answered a lot of my questions which was a big help ......
everyone was wonderful and very knowledgeable. i was happy withe he consultation.
Everyone was just super, warm, friendly, very helpful. Couldn't have asked for better. I had no fear after all the explanation.

I loved the attention I received from Dr. Raphael and the nurses and staff. I felt extremely comfortable.
I appreciated how communicative all the staff members were. Everyone was friendly and nice even when they didn't know what procedure I was getting. They were very willing to work with me under unusual circumstances.
I love Dr. Raphel from the day we consulted with him. We KNEW he would be the one to perform my surgery.He`s very honest and upfront and makes sure that you understand everything before leaving the office.His nurses are incredible as well as the staff. I have never felt uncomfortable at all around any of them. I would highly recommend him or this practice to anyone.

My doctor and staff was great. The bedside manner was awesome and made me really comfortable.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dr Raphael was profession al and easy to talk too
Very professional. Liked the physician who took time to weigh options. Have scheduled the procedure and look forward to it.
They were extremely friendly and also seemed genuinely excited for my decision to make these changes and to be able to help.
I have used Dr. Raphael before and I was very satisfied and I also sent a friend for a procedure and she was very happy.I have a lot of confidence in Dr. Raphael and his coordinator and nurse are wonderful.
Everyone from the receptionist on the phone to the coordinator, nurses, anesthesiologists, and Dr. Raphael were absolutely amazing. Everyone was friendly, very personal and made me feel as comfortable as I could have felt at all of my appointments. I know someone who had the same procedure done by Dr. Raphael 7 years ago and still loves her which is what brought me in the door. I was so impressed after the consultation, I scheduled my pre op visit and surgery date on the spot for two weeks later. Dr. Raphael was great with giving me recommendations and helping me select the right size that my body could support. Everyone was very thorough when asking about my current meds, family health history, allergies, etc. multiple times before I came in for my procedure. I can't say enough about how delightful the overall entire experience was. I will definitely be recommending this office and surgeon to others in the near future! Thank you for everything!!!
Dr. Raphael was very attentive to exactly what result I wanted from the procedures. He was very caring and passionate about his work. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. I was made to feel very comfortable about having these procedures done and I am very happy with my procedures.
They made me feel very comfortable. .excited for my surgery in 2 weeks!!
Dr. Raphael had done procedures on me in 2000. I liked him and was thrilled with the result because of his expertise. I would not consider going to anyone else for another procedure. He has my trust and I know he is up to date on this surgery. I believe he has my best interest in his mind and heart. He wants me to be happy with the procedures and I believe will go the extra mile to make sure that happens.
The friendliness of surgeon and staff. Made to feel comfortable during consultation.
I have had cosmetic surgery before and I really like that surgeon. But Dr. Raphael was very patient and informative. He and his assistant made me feel like they were very forth coming and honest about the procedure and recovery time. He also gave me thorough exam and told me EVERYTHING I really needed. I was educated on all of my options and what would happen from beginning to end.
I found Dr Raphael and his staff to be very friendly, helpful, cheerful, and professional. They cheerfully answered all of my questions and concerns. They provided me with all of the information that I needed, and explained the various processes and steps needed to attain my goals. I highly recommend this Dr and facility. And the prices are very reasonable. They also work very hard to fit whatever scheduling time you need.
Dr Raphael listened to what I wanted and the surgery results were exactly what I had asked for. Dr and staff answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything. Completely satisfied with Dr, Staff, and results. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Both of my daughters and I have had nothing but fantastic results and satisfaction with this Dr and Practice.
Dr. Raphael is the best! He did my daughter''s breast implants and I would not have considered any other doctor! Also, love Catherine. She really makes you feel at ease.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
They made me feel comfortable and at ease about moving forward with my procedure.
Dr. Raphael and his team listened to my needs in terms of what I wanted to achieve. He did not try and sell" me on additional procedures however did provide feedback and/or suggestions on ways to improve or maximize my results. Everyone I interacted with was pleasant, curteous and extremely helpful and supportive both prior and after the surgery. I have been extremely satisfied with my experience with Dr. Raphael and would definitely recommend him to others in the future."
Everyone is highly professional and all questions were answered prior to going ahead with this procedure.
Every staff member was friendly and made me feel like I was their only patient. All questions were answered happily. Surgeon and team were very nice and respectful. Everything was done quickly and efficiantly.
Doctor Raphael and the staff made me feel so comfortable and at ease with my decision. Before, throughout and aftar the surgery the nurses specially Lori were absolutely amazing. Lori is such a caring sweet and compassionate person. She took excellent care of me after the surgery and each time I visited the clinic for check up. I was on my feet the third day ofMy operation. The pain was nothing i had ever imagined and witnessed from friends that have had the same procedure done. It's been a life changing experience for me. I look wonderful i feel wonderful. I have so much more confidence. I will and have recommended friends . I will definitly go back if I need get other things done. Thank you doctor Raphael, Lori and Debbie and everyone else at the clinic.
Very professional, friendly and have a wonderful chair side with the patient . I felt very confident in picking this surgeon.
Dr. Raphael came highly recommended. He was very professional and made me feel very comfortable. Will diffently schedule my procedures with him.
I have friends who have used Dr Raphael and wereHappy with their results. Dr was friendly and informsInformation understood. All staff was friendly!
The scheduled vaginaplasty will be the 2nd procedure I have had performed by Dr Raphael, with him having performed a bilateral orchiectomy approximately 8 years ago. Given that, I have remained very, very pleased and impressed in the manner I was treated, both by Dr Raphael and his staff... all of which has greatly influenced me to return for this next procedure. My telephone consultation(s) and contacts were with Katherine Walker, who immediately creates an impression that she genuinely is interested in my care... which given, what is likely a lesser performed procedure, particularly impressed me with her knowledge. She surely must be a real treasure" to the overall performance of the whole staff!"
Did not care for the receptionist's feedback on saline vs silicone over the phone. It made me already feel very defensive. She hadn't seen me, heard my story etc. but the surgeon and his assistant definitely made up for her faults. I ended up choosing them to do my surgery. They were professional and also had great bedside manner. I was very relaxed and comfortable when talking and explaining what I was looking for.
I really liked the surgeon and he sounds like he can give me what I want. I wanted multiple procedures and he would be able to do it all in one operation. All the staff seemed very friendly and concerned for my well being and giving me the best possible results.
The staff at the practice were very kind and helpful without judgement. The patient coordinator I met and the surgeon were both very knowledgeable and approachable.
Due to confidence. I have confidence in Dr. Raphael's ability and feel confident in his work. Unless another Dr. in his field was recommended by Dr. Raphael, I don't know that I would consider having this procedure done by anyone else. I have made an appointment to go with the procedure recommended, for the middle of Dec. My friend that drove me for the consultant decided that the quote she received was not cost effective, and will seek a local Dr, should she decide to have the Lipo.procedure. I must find someone to take me and pick me up after surgery. We have no children and my husband is 90 years old with dementia. If I can't find someone to transport me back and forth, I will have to post-pone the procedure, which will be very disappointing. Although, I dislike having to ask others to take time out of their busy schedule, hopefully, I will locate someone to do that.
The overall experience was AMAZING from start to finish! Very personable staff and I love Dr. Raphael! I'm extremely pleased with the results and will be coming back to finish!! I would recommend them to anyone!! They are hands down incredible!
I thought the surgeon and staff did a great job of making me feel comfortable. they presented themselves in a professional manner, I liked that I did not feel rushed in any way. Each staff member was very friendly and encouraging.
I was impressed by the relaxing environment, the friendliness, helpfulness, and courtesy of the entire staff, and most importantly by Dr. Raphael who made me feel like a beautiful person already.
I have used Dr. Raphael for all of my plastic surgery needs for the last 12 years. I have moved away and other surgeons are much closer to my home , but I have so much trust in Dr. Raphael and his amazing staff that I travel the distance to use them .
Doctor Rafael was the most wonderful, caring doctor there is. I highly enjoyed my time with him. I'll definitely go back if I have another dilemma
Everyone was very professional and kknowledgeable on the procedures I was considering having done. I was able to make a well informed decision. I was not pressured in any way I feel very comfortable with the decisions I have made to do my procedures.
Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. I really loved the surgeon, his knowledge, and his bedside manner. It is an exceptional organization and I intend to come back as often as needed and I have recommend them to others interested in the same type procedures.
The consult was very informative, Catherine eased my fear of being nauseous for the anesthesia and pain meds, she assured me that this issue would be taken care of even before the surgery. I have to admit I was very nervous to even think about surgery, it usually someone else in my family needing surgery and me taking care of them. By the end I did feel more at ease by Catherine and Dr Raphael.
Consultation appointments readily available. Patient consultant very friendly and available for any questions before and after consultation. Dr made you feel very at ease while gathering information and informative about procedure.
I was comfortable, everyone I interacted with was friendly and I set up an appointment a week or so after! It was great!
Dr. Raphael is a highly skilled surgeon who listens arefully to the patients desire. I was very impressed with how relaxed he made me feel, and how he recommended without pushing. In the end he worked within what my vision was but with his expert touch.
Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia
The surgeon was very amicable and respectful. Everyone in office was very upbeat and professional. I left with no question unanswered and a clear plan for setting my surgery. I received a folder with vital information to take home and look over and was contacted promptly afterward to answer any further questions. This was the best experience that I've had at a surgery consult which is what prompted me to decide on surgery here.
I felt Dr Raphael and his staff were highly helpful. I did develop a minor complication, but his staff were easy to contact and promptly returned any calls. He completed a revisional surgery at no charge to me and I will need a second also at no charge. This being said I still am extremely satisfied, and glad I chose him for my surgery.
I was highly satisified because I have had a horrific surgery experience in the past, which made me go into complete panic attack when I went to have a hysterectomy years later. I thought I might have this problem again, but the kindness & privacy & gentleness I experienced here, I was fine. The only time I thought I might have a panic attack was the pre-op pictures. That can be debilitating for people who are insecure about their bodies, especially when we've had a baby that severely alters our appearance. I knew it was necessary, just wish that part of the process was a little faster. Other than that, I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Raphael & his staff & so did my husband. When you have a bad experience, it makes a great experience even greater. My fear of doctors & surgery kept me from this procedure for years...I wish I had only known of Dr. Raphael sooner, I felt completely safe & completely respected & I will use them again when or if I decide to do anything else to myself. They are a God-send!!
I read a few reviews on the clinic online and one of the high points was how wonderful the staff was and how comfortable they made their patients feel during the entire process and procedure. The surgeon (Dr.Raphael) for this specific procedure (double incision mastectomy) is, in my opinion, one of the very best in the U.S. - not a whole lot of images of his work out there but I was sold at the consultation. The attentiveness and caring of the staff could be felt and his Senior Patient Consultant (Catherine Walker) was extremely helpful in answering questions and working with me to schedule appointments.My sincerest thanks to the staff!
My brother in law, Rene Wolf who was a physician and was from Panama recommended Dr. Rafael to me years ago. Since then I have recommended him to a couple of my friends and I have talked to him twice about the procedure I want and he has always been very professional and make you feel comfortable.
I brought in a list of questions, the nurse and the surgeon took the time to answer all of them
Dr. Raphael was very professional, honest and caring. He and his staff did not rush and made me feel like they truly cared without being condescending or overly sweet.
All staff members were great and welcoming. The facility is state of the art, very nice. I will highly recommend the facility to all my friends and family.
I was shown kindness and warmth by surgeon and nursing staff. I was given full explanations at every phase of my surgery and I was completely comfortable.
Raphael is amazing! This is my second time to use him and I wouldn't go to anyone else!
I was referred here by a friend that has had many procedures done and she was very satisfied. So I went and having no other frame of reference for plastic surgery I had no reason to be dissatisfied.
I am a previous patient and had great results. I find the doctor caring and personable. The nurses are the best ever. The pricing is very competitive.
I really feel very comfortable with this Doctor he is one of the best in this state! I have had many things done by him and he makes me HAPPY and I love his staff with that being said I will continue doing business with him tell he retires.
I had a mastectomy. The staff and doctors were all friendly, respectful and went far above and beyond what they needed to do to help me.
I was highly satisfied with my experience because I showed up to my consultation an hour early and didn't have to wait for my scheduled time. I was a little a nervous at first but both consultant and surgeon were so laid back and easy to talk to, it made me feel comfortable. After it was all said and done, I left with way more confidence.
I had a facelift with Dr Raphael. I had one previously with him twelve years ago. The results were perfect, exactly as I had hoped and requested of him. The facelift twelve years ago was also very satisfactory. I leave it to Dr Raphael to decide what to do and how to do it, as he knows best; the only request I made was to please not overdo it i.e. not stretch my mouth across my face. Nor did he - results were perfect; comments I have had from friends are that my complexion looks better, (because loose skin has gone). It is not evident that I have had surgery, simply that my face looks younger.Nurses are excellent; I liaised with two, one was Debbie. Cannot recall name of the nurse who overnighted with me. Both nurses were really good, kind, informative, helpful and professional.
I was satisfied with the way the surgeon took time to explain the procedure and answer specific questions that I had.
Dr. Raphael and Ms. Catherine were both helpful and friendly. They made the experience very personable yet easy going. I was able to ask any questions without hesitation. Ms. Catherine is very accommodating in answering my questions post-consultation and scheduling my next visits/procedure date. I would definitely recommend Dr. Raphael to my family and friends!!
Catherine and Dr. Raphael made me feel at ease about the procedure. Dr. Raphael genuinely cares, and was knowledgable.
Dr. Raphael was wonderful. He understood exactly what we (my daughter and I) both wanted and provided exactly what was discussed. The staff is pleasant, friendly and very helpful.I would recommend Dr. Raphael to anyone that was looking to have a procedure done.
I had a Double Mastectomy with free nipple graft. Overall I am really happy with everything. The staff were wonderful and answered all of my questions. They were really friendly and put me at ease. Basically they were with me every step of the way. I simply can not begin to put into words how grateful I am for Dr. Raphael. The man is an extremely talented surgeon and he saved my life. I couldn't be happier with the results.
