Dr. Knotts is extremely knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns and made me feel comfortable. He was always there to answer my questions and guide me through the process. I am thrilled with the results and the confidence I have again. Thank you, Dr. Knotts!

My review was only because I mention that before covid I saw Dr Chen and left a $500.0. deposit. Covid hit and at no fault of mine I lost the deposit for surgery. I mention to your person and he told me to bad to sad not my problem. That I have a problem with. I do understand the policy and gladly pay but not the nonsense of an employee that make such a comment. I did not make covid and I believe that there has to be some sort of consideration. I don't think that it is your practice of no considering my concern.

I previously had a zplasty under Dr. Chen’s care. I was very happy with the results and decided to come back for the mini facelift. It’s been just under a week since my procedure, but I can already see such a difference! The mini was more involved, and I did experience a little pain the first 24 hours. However, pain meds took care of it. I found Dr. Chen to be highly skilled, as well as gentle and caring. I recommend him highly, and without hesitation, to anyone who is interested in a cosmetic procedure.

I will rate Doctor Chen a zero and advise anyone considering using him to consult another surgeon. Most women looked forward to having a "mommy makeover"...
