1 Review only as I am posting from my secondary account because this is private information lol. I am a Black woman and an ally of the LGBTQ+ community. Dr. Ramineni comes highly recommended within their circles, and seeing how particular those patients are, and how great their results look, gave me confidence in choosing him for my own procedures. Pricing: His fees are generally comparable to others in the area. The major cost difference occurs when a procedure must be performed at GW Hospital instead of the surgery center; in some cases, hospital fees can increase the total cost by 50% or more depending on the surgery. Over the past two years, I’ve had several procedures with Dr. Ramineni: rhinoplasty (still early in healing), under-eye bag removal (excellent results), chin lipo (I hoped for a more sculpted jawline, but he explained I would have excess skin—so the outcome aligned with expectations), and Lipo 360 (amazing results; now I just need to maintain them). Overall, I’ve been very pleased. I plan to return for breast augmentation, additional lipo, and potentially an earlobe correction in early 2026. Dr. Ramineni: Exceptionally skilled across a wide range of procedures. He speaks quickly, but he is extremely knowledgeable and responsive—he even answers emails on weekends. Katie-PA: Less personable and more direct, but she is Dr. Ramineni’s right hand in the operating room and throughout the office. Chavonne: Wonderful energy, very personable, and always helpful, especially with billing or administrative questions. Front Desk: Friendly overall, though they can occasionally seem distracted when talking among themselves. Not a major issue, but worth noting.

I am so thrilled and happy to have gone to Dr. Ramineni for my surgery for BA, along with tummy tuck. He made me feel so welcomed, answered all my questions, walked through his approach for my surgery and made me feel calm before surgery. His bedside manner was incredible, along with his wonderful staff who helped out like Katie, Chavvone, Maria and the GWU staff. He pays attention to extreme detail, where his extensive experience shows for itself along with amazing results. I’m less than a week in post surgery and amazed at his work on me. My boyfriend who took care of me loved his welcomeness and appreciated answering all his questions on post op care. Thank you for helping me achieve my results!!

I completed a consultation today with Dr. Praful and upon arrival, the staff at the front desk was very friendly and acknowledging. Sitting and speaking with Dr. Praful, he was extremely helpful and understanding of my needs, concerns, and situation. The knowledge of my procedure was helpful, and that made me feel I will definitely be in the best of care. I left the District Plastic Surgery Center very satisfied and filled with great enthusiasm and excitement for my new look. Thank you everyone for making me feel valued and appreciated as a new client. Bernadette Lawrence 9/25/25

Dr. Ramineni is amazing! I had my double incision mastectomy for gender affirming purposes, and it was a breeze with him. Very straightforward about the procedure, he listens to all the concerns and questions you have, and is a very kind person in general. Thanks Dr. Ramineni! And thank you to his team as well, you all are awesome!

My experiences with Dr. Ramineni over the years has been superb. After having life-altering surgery in 2020, I returned to enlist his aid to treat a debilitating and humiliating condition that another nationally recognized hospital refused to treat due to what they felt were inherent risks. However, Ramineni represents the best of the best in terms of professionalism, integrity, and competency in his specialty. Upon contacting him, the necessary procedure and a plan were both set in place within days. It is not a wonder that he is sought out internationally by the global community. My advice for anyone who has the opportunity to consult with him for surgery, after my two experiences with him (as well as my interactions with surgeons and doctors elsewhere), I would sincerely recommend and urge that he be consulted first and foremost in terms of striving for the most desirable outcome. His knowledge, understanding, and surgical technique with these matters are simply unparalleled.
