Doesn't admit to botches/mistakes & hurts patients to protect himself from getti

I had my nose botched and I’d like to speak on my entire experience here, because so many things about his office, staff, etc. are just messed up, aside from just Dr. Chow’s incompetence itself. Had a rhinoplasty that went wrong, and he tries to pass it off/gaslight me saying it's a “good result” even when my close friends tell me it definitely could look better. The botch is obvious. Now I have to spend more time and money getting this fixed elsewhere while looking like a mess. Apparently any procedure he does looks ok to this man, he’s just interested in protecting himself. I’ve had hairdressers try to convince me the same to try to cover themselves when it’s obvious they didn’t do a good job; it’s just a tactic. Being botched really affects you mentally...I am not surprised that people get suiicdal over this now that I've gone through it - it affects you for the rest of your life but Dr.Chow doesn't even care about you - he's just afraid of getting sued and tries to protect his busi

My eyes are botched. Dr. Chow plays people’s insecurities to make money

Had an eye surgery botched, I wanted a crease way higher, but instead, over the course of a couple months, the height of the new crease dropped back down to where it was originally - money wasted. But now I can never get what I want - my scar from the cut is too low, and any revision to make my crease higher would show the scar. On top of that, Dr.Chow was incredibly rude to me during one of my appointments. I came in for only 1 facial procedure, but without prompting, he suggested two additional procedures for my face that were completely uncalled for, which included mentioning that my cheeks got fatter recently and he could just remove it (buccal fat removal). So rude and disrespectful. No doctor should go around insulting the looks of their customers just because they want to make more money off of them. For the record, I’m 100% confident and secure in my looks but this enraged me (fyi, yes, you can be secure and still want surgery), and I can easily see how someone less secure

Multiple procedures & revision gone wrong, chooses business interests over patie

Chooses business interests over patients when he botches your face - I had both my original asian eyelid procedure (upper blepharoplasty) and the revision botched, as well as a brow lift that did not go well. Every time I asked him about mistakes on my procedures, he’d always try to dodge me: I had to interrogate him with multiple questions to get him to be honest. Or, he’d try to deny what happened, or not admit to mistakes even when I literally pointed them out on my face, or dodge answering my questions, etc. Luckily, I’m not too dumb and can see through when he is trying to cover himself. My questions were literally ignored after the 2nd botch (revision), he won't even respond to emails, I'm neglected. Hurts emotionally. In our capitalistic society, your money speaks: Support someone who actually deserves your hard-earned money , and do heavy research into your procedure and who you support to protect yourself - the consumer is very vulnerable when it comes to surgery.

Dr. Chow is a fantastic plastic surgeon with a great bedside manner. He listens so carefully and he really cares that his patients achieve the look they are going for. Over the years I have had numerous procedures by him and every single time he exceeded my expectations. It's hard to say that these days. His office stay is professional, caring and competent. I have a skin care practice in the East Bay and I send all my clients to Dr. Chow . I have lost track of how many people have made a point to thank me and tell me how great their experience with him turned out. He has a great eye for what looks beautiful, he is completely honest and will tell you if you DON"T need something done and he will tireless answer all your questions to make sure you feel safe and comfortable. With Dr. Chow you are in exceptional hands. Look no further, he's the best.

He is amazing, after a thorough review, he correctly diagnosed my problem as a nasal cartilage collapse. He took cartilage from my ear and rebuild my nose. After only one month I can breath extremely well. He is professional, patient and courteous and answers all questions. His staff is also courteous. I saw him at his office at Sutter Davis Hospital and would recommend him in a heartbeat.
