Online Patient Testimonials  

Dr. Rajagopal is a truely gifted surgeon who's artistic eye along with superior surgery skills and knowledge has given me a result beyond belief. I did some major research before I chose Dr. R and I'm glad I had become a "smart" consumer/patient because finding a surgeon as gifted as her is super rare these days as it seems many plastic surgeon's often look at patients as just another number. This was not the case at SFCS, throughout the entire process I was treated with warmth, comfort and care, all attributes Dr. R and her staff possess. I was nervous going into the office at first for the consultation but the staff treated me with respect and were extremely professional. In addition, the consultation with Dr. R (and also her nurse assistant) left my leaving with the thought "Okay, this person definately knows what she is talking about and this is where I want my Gyne surgery done" due to the positive info and feedback I had recieved. My dream of getting rid of this "nightmare" if you will, would soon come true as I have recieved a result beyond my expectations. Dr. R and staff also went out of their way in order to fit me into an earlier date, by accomadating my needs and giving me an outstanding new look (no more man b's) I recommend Dr. R highly to anyone wanting to have this procedure done and would except no other substitute. The pain was minimal (prescription med's for comfort) and the healing was no problem. I was also sent home with a boquet of flowers right after my surgery was over. Oh, and the surgery went great, one moment you'll be speaking to the doctor about taking a vacation, the next your fading into lala land (anethsia) and finally you come out of it greeted by the nurses with flowers ready to escort you out of the OR. You couldn't ask for a better surgical experience. I wish I had more stars to give...

I had my rhinoplasty one year ago today, and I want to thank Dr. Raj for her wonderful work. I now feel much better about my overall appearance; small changes really do make all the difference! My nose wasn't that bad before, but now it actually flatters my face. I told her at the beginning "no Michael Jackson!" and she gently explained that such dramatic change was not her style. She didn't lie; I still look like myself, only improved. She and her staff treated me like royalty on the surgery day. I even received a flower bouquet from them as I went home. And pre- and post-surgery questions were answered in full. I **highly** recommend her for those people looking for a plastic surgeon with integrity and compassion. Thanks so much for everything, Dr. Raj. And to the staff, best wishes.

This place is great. Jeannie is fantastic and really does an amazing job. I highly recommend her for tattoo removal and line-filler/botox type jobs. She's fantastic. *Not that I am admitting to having them done :) I had an electronic facial a few months ago and it was alright...the results were nice, but it hurts like a b*tch.I have to borrow this from Gretchen on those "rubber band snap" people- WTF? It DID feel more like a possessed nail gun attacking your face. Pain does equal results here, but I'd have a drink or 4 before this procedure. Also, you can't beat their pricing...having come from dealing with plastic surgeons in LA (*again, not admitting to anything) I was amazed at the low cost for laser-type things and "injectables" if you will.

The hassel of finding a reputable plastic surgeon is the one major thing that held me back from getting surgery. For years I had wanted to get my boobs done, but all the horror stories on tv about botched procedures and sketchy plastic surgeons scared me to death. But I had heard good things about this doctor from friends who were getting minor things done, like botox and laser hair removal, at her office. I decided that it wouldn't hurt to make an appointment. After meeting her, my distorted images of plastic surgeons disappeared. She was warm, personable and thorough. I felt comfortable with scheduling surgery with her and and I've never been happier.

I hated having Gynecomastia. Some men learn to accept this condition, but I never could,I didn't realize that what I had was called Gynecomastia until a few years ago. I figured that if I exercised more & lost some weight they'd go away,Then one day while I was surfing through the web I came across an article about this condition called Gynecomastia(enlarged male breasts) stated that it can be corrected through cosmetic surgery. Awesome!! I can get rid of this now.I met with the Dr. Rajagopal and was great. I booked the surgery My surgery took place,The surgery was a success. The recovery from surgery was also less painful than I had expected surgery & recovery was a piece of cake, I feel & look great!! can't believe the difference!! My confidence is restored.

Thanks Dr. Rajagopal

As a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Texas for over a decade, I was faced with an odd predicament. I had excess fat under my chin but couldn't do liposuction on myself. After carefully considering the 50-or-so plastic surgeons whom I know, I chose to fly to San Francisco to have Dr. Rajagopal perform my surgery. I have always known her to be kind, considerate, artistic, and technically gifted, and the decision was actually easier than I had expected. i am now one week postop. I have not required any pain medication. i started working two days after surgery, and already I am unable to find my incisions. My only regret is that I didn't do the surgery sooner.

Thank you, Dr. Rajagopal!

Dear Dr. Rajagopal,

Thank you so much for your excellent skills and care during my recent surgery. You and your staff made me feel extremely well cared for. I particularly appreciate how immediately available you personally were for any concern or question that arose. I felt like I was being cared for like a member of your family.
I also appreciate how thoroughly you and your staff prepared me for what to expect during and after the surgery. This understanding was invaluable to me.
I am already very pleased with the result of my procedure and I am confident that my satisfaction will only increase in the coming weeks and months.
This will truly make a lasting difference in my life and I thank you for making that happen for me.

Best regards,
Heather

Dear Dr. Rajagopal,

Just a short not to thank you for the procedures you performed on me on June 26 and follow-up afterwards. I am healing well, using the prescribed sun block cream and look forward to additional procedures later this year.
The main reason for writing is to re-affirm what I am sure you know. This time, from a man’s viewpoint, I can tell you that cosmetic work really is not just for the ladies as I once thought.
Beyond the physical improvements, there are dramatic changes in self-esteem. I really do feel much better about my appearance and have more confidence in talking to people professionally and personally.
While it is true “what is inside of a person is important,” I am now convinced that the outward appearance is just as important. My parents even said I look younger!
After being in medical practice for many years, I trust that you continue to receive positive feedback often and it is well deserved. I am glad that I saw the add in the phone book with the “pretty Doctor.”

Sincerely,
Wayne

Dear Dr. Rajagopal and staff,
I want to thank you for your wonderful treatment and care while I underwent the procedure on my ears. Not only am I very pleased with the results, but my entire experience in your office was a positive one.
Again thank you for all of your warmth and support.

Dear Dr. Rajagopal,
I am usually so busy asking you all of my questions that I was neglectful the day in telling you thank you for all you have done for me, and all of your support. Although I had some reluctance initially to go through the procedure, I am very happy now that I did. I feel great with my new body! It was easy getting used to the changes!
Thanks again. I’ll see you in 3 months.

Warmly,
Judi

Dr. Rajagopal,

Thank you again

It was apparent to me what a gifted physician you are and how much your patients and staff enjoy working with you.
I hope to see you again soon.

Thank you again,

Dear Dr. Rajagopal,

Thank you very much for your professional and also very kind treatment during my sclerotherapy yesterday. Even though it was an elective procedure, it was rather traumatic for me, and I appreciated your caring approach to help get me through it.
Please also thank your staff, especially Jeannie Bell as well as your assistant during the procedure, for their very professional and human manner with me.
I look forward to feeling great in shorts and skirts this summer. It seems like a small thing in the larger scheme of things, but it will make me happy.

Many thanks again,
Susie

Dear Dr. Raj and Staff,

I just wanted to write a quick note thanking you and your entire staff for the excellent care given to me during my recent surgery. You and your staff showed genuine and sincere, gentle and compassionate care to me before, during and after my procedure. I've never felt intimidated and afraid to "dare to question the Dr." about any aspects of the surgery procedure- Dr. Raj, you've been very open and patient in explaining everything to me that I've enquired about re: my upper eye surgery and explaining to me everything you were doing during the procedure. All of which made me feel very safe and secure emotionally, while under your care.
Although I was sedated during the surgery, I remember everything. And although I don't know all of their names, (except for Yvonne), all of your assistants in the operating room were very, very kind and gentle with me- which, has truly made the whole experience a good one- Oh yes, a special thanks to Juliann- she seems so very young- but, this gal really knows her stuff and has assisted me in countless ways and is very good at her job & very sweet to boot!
In closing, I can't tell you how much it lifted my spirits and really showed how much your organization truly cares for the well-being of your patients when i was presented with the beautiful and stunning huge boquet of flowers when I went home to recover after my surgery. Dr. Raj, you run a first class, top notch organization. Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,
Cari

Dear Dr. Rajagopal, Joanne, Jihee, Polly & Yvonne:

Thank you so much,

Dr. Rajagopal, Joanne & Polly,

I wanted to thank you all for making my experience so very comfortable and nurturing. I always felt I was in good hands. Recovery is going well. Everyone is very complimentary- these kudos go to you all!! People say it's perfect- I never thought I'd have a perfect nose! Still getting used to the new face but we are becomming friends.

Much gratitude,
Laura

Dr. Rajagopal and staff,

Well it’s been about three weeks since my surgery, and I am on the mend. I must admit, I got a bit frustrated by the forced inactivity, but knew it was only temporary. Now I feel stronger and have started exercising again.
I want to thank you and your staff for making me feel comfortable before, during and after the operation. I am pleased with the results so far, and I know in time, they’ll look even better. (See you sometime in January ’03)
Should I decide to pursue future enhancements or procedures, I will certainly come back to you.

Sincerely,
Gigi
