Verified Patient Reviews for Richard Balikian, MD, FACS
Everything turned out extremely well. Once all the swelling goes down, I can't wait for the final results. My neck area looks great!
From the technicians to the nurses to sr b himself from start to finish just a great experience. And I’m very happy with my results
Very knowledgeable staff and Dr. Balikian did a GREAT job on my face. I love how I look!
Wonderful staff and the doctor made me feel super comfortable and so great about what I want to have done that I booked my facelift in October. I'm so excited I can't wait.
On time. Complete. Very friendly staff. The doctor was very thorough and attentive to all my questions and concerns.

At 66, I wanted to look refreshed and not like I was trying to look 40 again. I am very happy with the results after only 2 1/2 months and the my scars are invisible. I love the staff who is very professional and compassionate. The day of my surgery I was very nervous and the surgical nurse, Kristen was very caring and eased my concerns. I love all the results but my neck is fabulous...
Excellent Pre-surgery communication and info.. Post was excellent first 10 days... Have yet to have 6 week followup (reminded nurse Pattie and products person Stephanie) both were going to get me om the schedule and that has yet to happen. I, of course could and will call to make that appointment (mostly for questions about still healing, numbness and results). Don't get me wrong, all the nurses (Pattie, Megan, Stephanie & post care in the office (who I can't remember her name), were excellent. They answered my questions and assured me with my surgery. If I called/texted/emailed with a question or concern I always got a response. And, my procedure love the results in my cheeks (no wrinkles) and my neck/jaw line (no sagging).
Staff was excellent, very detailed and helpful!
I've been i've patient at dr b's office for a long time now, back when he was doing injections. He always had such a great doctor patient manner. And I would see him from time to time while I was visiting with joanne getting my injections. I knew this was where I was gonna get my face done. Every person that works in the office is SO open and very knowledgeable about each and every service. I learned over time what I wanted and what I didn't want. At my consultation, I let him talk and tell me what he thought.I needed, and he was spot on. Including a few other extras. I am still in the healing process.less than three months. All is going quite well. I can call or email, then. Get advice anytime.
