I truly wish there were more stars to give Dr Shifren, Hana, Melanie, and the rest of the staff at WAVE Plastic Surgery. If I could I would give them 11 stars out of 5. As a physician myself I am more critical than most and I was truly impressed with every aspect of my experience at WAVE Plastic Surgery in general and with Dr Shifren, Hana, and Melanie in particular. When I first made the decision to undergo the Smart Liposuction procedure, I spent a great deal of time researching physicians and practices until I finally came upon WAVE Plastic Surgery. My first point of contact was with Hana and Melanie at the Irvine offices of WAVE. They were caring and thorough from the very first and continued to be so throughout my experience. I was given a thorough and realistic recommendation along with an accurate cost estimate. But the aspect that truly convinced me that WAVE was the correct choice for me was the knowledge and lack of pressure. I can say without a doubt that undergoing the procedure at WAVE Plastic Surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I underwent my procedure within a month of my initial consultation, and it was brilliant. I was up and walking around within two days of the procedure and I was able to return to work within a week. As for the results, they are truly brilliant. In point of fact Dr Shifren was able to achieve results for me that I had not anticipated, natural and beautiful. It may seem like an oxymoron to link physicians with well-being and health promotion but at WAVE in general and Dr Shifren, Hana, and Melanie specifically it is a fact. If you want the very best and the most beautiful and natural results then the best choice you can make is WAVE Plastic Surgery, Dr Shifren and the entire staff. They are skilled at patient care, research, and teaching and meet the full measure of exceptional surgical skill, professional responsibility, and patient care.
