From the reviews

This was, without a doubt, one of the best experiences I have ever had with a medical office. From the lady at the front desk, to the X-ray tech that did my imaging and the lady who fitted me for a splint, and last but certainly not least Dr. James Chao, I was treated with the utmost respect and care at my appointment.

★★★★★ — Drew, Mar 2021

Awesome practice. Everything on time, check in was simple and quick, staff is terrific and so nice. X ray machine on site so I could get results immediately and find out next steps. Dr.

Dr. CHAO...JAMES . What a great guy. Terrific DR. personality with patients. Oh my. If the cortisone doesn't fix my hand I trust he will find other options. Polite, very knowledgeable and positive personality. Wow! Tracie his nurse....what a pleasure. Avis I'll always talk about you. Great great gal. Thank you.

★★★★★ — Karen, May 2021

Dr. Chao is an excellent surgeon. He fixed three of my trigger fingers. The only negative was in scheduling my surgery. The office postponed once and almost twice. You need to stay on top of your surgery date. All in all went well.if the scheduling would have gone smoothly, I would have given them a 5.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
