Testimonials

Testi "I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of me. I’m ecstatic with my results. You’re the best!"

Testi "I had a great experience with Doctor Rabson and his staff. Everyone is great. I didn’t feel like a bother at any time. I like the fact that time was taken for every aspect of my experience. That was probably the nicest part. I like the fact that Dr. Rabson is available anytime with his direct line. You feel safe and secure with Dr. Rabson. I would and already have recommended him to people I know. I would use him again in a heartbeat."

Testi "I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Rabson, and members of the staff of Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center for such an amazing and satisfying experience. From my initial consultation to my exit visit, everyone at the center was congenial and caring.

As Dr. Rabson discussed the procedure that would give me the results I desired, he was honest, straight forward, and understandable in his explanation. But what was most important was he listened to and address my concerns and questions. I felt confident that I would be placing myself in very competent hands. And Denise, his surgical nurse, made me feel so relaxed and comfortable during each initial visit and the day of surgery that I experienced minimal nervousness and anxiety.

I am just so thrilled with the results of my surgery. And so is my husband! If I ever consider an additional cosmetic procedure in the future, the Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center will be my first stop. And I would highly recommend Dr. Rabson and the center to anyone."

Testi "Thank you so much for the kind, thoughtful & excellent care I received throughout this whole process.

Dr. Rabson, you do beautiful work! I love my new body and can't wait for the summer to show it off! If anyone I ever meet or know is considering plastic surgery, you will be HIGHLY recommended by me.

Your staff has been nothing but kind, helpful and comforting! I almost wish I had more post op visits, just to chat with Mary Lynn.

I also found it very comforting to know that if I had any questions or concerns, no matter how minor or silly they may have been, I was never made to think any of questions were unreasonable. And I could always find reassurance from you and your staff.

Thank you so much again!"

Testi "Wow, thank you very much for the birthday cake! I was totally surprised and touched by your thoughtful gift. My morale at the start of the day was rather low, another year passing and turning forty had caused me to reflect on those people in my life who are now gone. My mother was always the one to make the fancy birthday cake for me. I lost her when I was 30. I was missing her and her cake. S and I enjoyed the dessert that evening and used the opportunity to invite close friends to share. Our friends were most impressed that my surgeon and his staff would remember my birthday and give me a cake ... possibly even more impressed with that considerate gesture than the excellent results from the surgery itself!

I must say that I thoroughly appreciated and even enjoyed this whole medical adventure. From the initial consultation, the follow up questions, additional consultations, the surgery, and all the follow up calls and visits. The whole process was well orchestrated, all of my questions were answered, and all of my expectations were met. The recovery process was exciting and amazing for me, as I have never had any major surgery or visible injuries before. We are very pleased with the results, even better than we expected. I am astounded at the work you perform and the expert execution of that work.

Dr. Rabson, you have an amazing staff. They show genuine warmth, concern, enthusiasm, and even seemed excited for me. Every visit to your office was comfortable, and I always felt more like a friend than a patient. I have found in my business that people expect to get what they pay for; it is the little extra things that they appreciate and the way they are treated that makes an impression. Indifference will lose a customer faster than a poorly executed repair. You obviously have a decisive control and understanding of that philosophy.

By the way, I am a metalogical perfectionist and not easily impressed. I'm impressed to be so impressed.

Thank you all very much for everything."

Testi "Dr. Rabson really cared about me. Everyone in the office was so wonderful."

Testi "I felt very comfortable in Dr. Rabson's office. I had so many questions, and I never felt like I was bothering anyone."

Testi "I heard good things about Dr. Rabson from my friends, and they were right!"

Testi "Thank you for all the terrific care and support, to say nothing about a great result! We can't begin to tell you how much we appreciate your caring, quality service."

Testi "After only three month since that date, I can honestly see at least five, possibly ten years were removed from my face. As I am told, the swelling takes up to about a year to subside and it looks better every day.

Was it worth it? Would I do it again if given the choice? Absolutely! Thank you, Dr. Rabson, for working your magic. After the bandages came off the day after the surgery, my husband said it was “like magic.” I say extreme skill and experience are behind what you can do! My face now matches my youthful inner spirit, and I am grateful.

Denise’s words of encouragement sustained me every step of the way. She was always there to answer and “re-answer” my abundant questions. She is truly the “heart” of your practice."
