"I have recommended Dr. Baxter to several friends. My best friend decided to see him for surgery and she is very happy with the results. Dr. Baxter believes in helping his patient achieve a natural look and doesn't believe that more is better. He has been very honest with me and actually discouraged me from pursuing a procedure because he didn't believe I would get the results that I was hoping for. In addition, Dr. Baxter is amazing when it comes to lip augmentation. I will never go to anyone else!"

Testimonial for Richard A. Baxter, M.D., F.A.C.S.

"Dr. Baxter has done some remarkable work on me. I've had two breast lifts, about 8 years apart, a brow lift and some botox. I've seen pictures of his other work - I remember a tummy tuck picture that was absolutely amazing. He's an artist, has a good eye for symmetry and keeps in mind our desire to look "natural" and not "done". He has a very pleasant personality, listens carefully and is relaxed when he conducts a consultation. I always knew his attention at that time was 100% on me and what I was saying. He also has an excellent staff. I couldn't imagine going to any other plastic surgeon."

"Dr. Baxter is the best surgeon in the Seattle area. I'm 46 years old and needed a little touch up. He suggested lipo after having a baby and botox to remove some deep wrinkles on my forehead. I'm not one to brag but he did a beautiful job. He makes you feel comfortable discussing your body imperfections. He is confident, listens well and gives good ideas to enhance your beauty. There is an art to cosmetic surgery and he has what it takes. He can make a difference in your life. Dr. Baxter has a great staff as well, they are knowledgeable, quick to respond to your needs and is sensitive and caring all at the same time. Give him a call even if only you just want to have an opinion. Thanks Dr. Baxter and staff."

"Amazing staff, the best skin care anywhere, and Dr. Baxter is incredibly talented plus he really cares about his staff and patients/customers. He is always in it for the patient and is conservative in that he would never recommend any product or perform any procedure unless he knows it would be a good fit for the individual."

"I had lipo on two sep. occasions and recent breast aug. by Dr. Baxter. I've had plenty of consults w/ Docs all over W. Washington. He was honest and up front about what results could be acheived. Very thorough answering all of my questions. The recovery time was minimal. I was expecting pain but I would explain it as discomfort. My breasts look and feel completely natural. The scars are almost unnoticable. I have seen many results from breast Aug. (most of my friends have had it done) This is how I know his work is REMARKABLE. I'm fortunate to have found him and so I want to spread the word."

"Dr. Baxter and his staff are caring, professional, and they go above and beyond to make sure each patient is happy. After visiting with approximately 9 other plastic surgeons, I finally chose Dr Baxter. With the type of work I wanted to have done, I felt he was the only one who truly cared about what I wanted for an outcome, and that he was the only one that I could trust to do a great job. I am extremely happy with the results and could not have chosen a better surgeon. In the months following my surgery Dr. Baxter and his team kept in constant contact with me to make sure everything was healing well and made extra effort to make themselves available either by phone or in person any time I had a question. I could not imagine going anywhere else and receiving this high level of care and support. Dr Baxter and his team are compassionate and Dr Baxter is very talented. They are such wonderful people who sincerely care about each person that comes into their office."

"Dr. Baxter, I've been meaning to send you an email to thank you for your excellent care during and after my breast augmentation. I think it's been over six months now. The healing time was much shorter than I expected and although I was quite nitpicky at the results in the beginning, I realize now that my results are remarkable. They look and feel completely natural - no one would ever know! The scars are very fine lines and barely noticeable. I was very uncomfortable w/ the loss of tissue in my breasts after my last child. This procedure has boosted my self confidence in a bathing suit and in the buff and it's also added time to my schedule since I can now throw any top and it suits my figure again. Who to trust with this surgery was a big decision. I'm glad to have found you and know where to go if I need cosmetic adjustments in the future. Thanks again for doing such a great job! Sincerely,"

"I found Dr. Baxter after exhaustive research on various websites as well as breastimplants411.com. As a fitness model, I am in bikinis at most of my shoots. I intially had my implants under the muscle, but I was experiencing a lot of distortion and banding of the implants whenever I moved my arms and activated my pectoral muscles. This distortion would show up in my pictures. I initially compiled a list of 10 Dr's in the DC Metro area which is where I live. Half of the Dr's refused to redo my implants as they felt they could not improve on them, and the other half said they could operate, but would not guarantee that the results would be any better. All except one refused to take the implants out and place them above the muscle, but I did not want that option as I am very lean and the implants would have been very visible. It was then that I decided to broaden my search, and found an article ( on your site ) about Alloderm grafts being used in breast implants and a new technique called "subfascial" implantation. That particular article featured Dr. Baxter; so I promptly called his office and set up an appointment, even though it meant I had to travel across the country to get to him.

Dr. Baxter's staff was wonderful in dealing with me and the various different issues encountered as an out of town patient. Dr. Baxter himself was extremely reassuring, and a great surgeon to have. He seems to be abreast of all the latest and greatest techniques out there.

When asked why I traveled all the way to Seattle for surgery, my answer is that Dr. Baxter was the only surgeon I found in the US who offered the "subfascial" technique. I am sure there may be others, but I have not come across them. In fact, there are quite a few women in the fitness industry who have the same problems I had, so I decided to collaborate with "Oxygen Magazine" on an article describing my experience in order to educate women about the various options available to them. That article is out on the news-stand currently.

I am extremely pleased with my results, and should I ever need any other work done I would go to Seattle in a heartbeat knowing that I would be in great hands.

Thanks!"
