Rapport with patients comes naturally to Dr. Churukian. Good communication with his patients is often as important as his skills in achieving a successful surgical outcome. He encourages his patients to openly discuss the changes they would like to see in their appearance and thoroughly explains what cosmetic surgery can and cannot do for them.

Dr. Churukian operates mainly in his new, state-of-the-art, State-certified operating suite conveniently located in his office. He also holds privileges for plastic and reconstructive surgery at all the major accredited hospitals and surgery centers in the Los Gatos/San Jose area.

Testimonials


Testi "I talked to a variety of surgeons and found Dr. Churukian to be the most "human" -- he wasn't seeing me as another procedure but as a person with concerns and goals, and he worked with me. All of the staff gave this supportive impression. Other physicians would benefit by following Dr. Churukian's example."

Testi "I just wanted to put in writing how much I appreciate what you have done for me. I feel wonderful every time I look in the mirror and I don't see that tired-looking face. I look and feel 15 years younger! I had no idea what an impact this would have on my life. How great it must feel to make such a big difference in people’s lives with your talent and skill. I'm so glad I found you!"

Testi "I highly recommend Dr. Kirk Churukian and his staff. They are wonderful! From the first time I called to make an appointment for a consultation, I knew this was a first-class office. After meeting Dr. Churukian and his staff, I knew I didn't need to look any further. I had found the right surgeon. He and his staff answered all of my questions and concerns. My surgery went well and my recovery was EASY! The recipe for rapid recovery is awesome. And, the wonderful care I received didn't stop after my surgery was over. Anytime I have called the office with a question they have been great."

Testi "The entire experience from the initial visit, to the surgery, to the recovery and post-op period, has been nothing but fantastic. Dr. Churukian, you were so patient during the initial consultation, answered all my questions and were so thorough about discussing realistic results, what I could expect in terms of pain (which, in all honesty, there was none), recovery and risks. The pictures of your work, your certifications and your realistic and calming bedside manner is what was my deciding factor in choosing you as my surgeon. It was the best decision I could have made!"
S.A.


Testi "After having consultations from two other doctors, I knew you were it. From the moment I called your office, I felt nothing but welcomed. Thank you for truly caring about me and not making me feel like "next!" You were so patient with me, answered all of my questions and prepared me more than I can imagine. Even on the way into the operating room, the nurse said, "You are with one of the best doctors." Need I say more?"
T.M.


Testi "While I had other friends who recommended other plastic surgeons, I was very comfortable with Dr. Churukian, the professional level of the staff, the quality of the work, the way the staff (all of them) really understood my concerns and put me at ease."
