"I had considered a facelift for at least 5 years, but never very seriously. Finally I made an appointment for a 'mini facelift.' However, at recommendation of my dermatologist, I went to see Dr. Rahban for a second opinion.
As expected I was nervous going in to the appointment, but from the office décor to the friendly, reassuring front office staff I was put at ease from the start. The connection with Dr. Rahban himself was immediate, and within 5 minutes of meeting him there was no question that I wanted him performing my surgery. He was direct, honest and very funny (which I definitely appreciated) yet all the while exuding such compassion and caring it's hard to really describe.
He spent an amazing amount of time with me, and did not once bad mouth the other place I was considering going to. In fact, he did not even want to see the other assessment until he completed his own.
I did not feel at all rushed and he addressed every question and concern. In the end it came down to the simple question of whether I could afford it, and if I was willing to spend the money. I never felt pressured to make that decision, and yet I made it in less than 48 hours.
Dr. Rahban was worth every penny, of the amazingly reasonable price. The surgery itself was quite long, which to me demonstrates again the care Dr. Rahban takes to ensure everything is done right rather than quickly. The pre- and post-op appointments (of which there were many) were thorough and never rushed. Dr. Rahban took the time to ensure I (and more importantly he) was satisfied with the outcome.
Most people had no idea I had a facelift, but commented on how rested I looked. However, looking at the photos Dr. Rahban takes at every visit, the transformation is astounding. I truly could not be happier.
The bottom-line is that in addition to being a master plastic surgeon (a true artist) his passion for what he does, his vision of the final outcome, his charismatic personality and his true interest and caring for his patients are his major selling points.
I am quite confident this experience could not have been matched elsewhere, and I highly recommend Dr. Rahban to anyone. I have at least one friend who has just recently undergone a procedure by Dr. Rahban after seeing my amazing transformation."
