Choosing a Cosmetic Surgeon
March 6th, 2023
When asking patients why they chose me to do their surgery, I’m often surprised at the variety of answers. While it seems qualifications are important, length of experience and referrals from family or friends seem to top the list. With the rapid rise of social media, no doubt this may play a role as well. My patient shares her thoughts in excerpts from a previous blog.
Jessie writes, “To prepare myself for the rhinoplasty surgery, or nose job, I researched various websites, such as plasticsurgery.org, and Dr. Bashioum’s own website, nipntuck.com. I was most happy to find that Dr. Bashioum told me that we were working with my own nose, hence making the surgery look more natural (to harmonize with my facial structure).
I choose Dr. Bashioum for many reasons. Above all, I wanted a qualified surgeon; someone skilled and experienced, because I know this will make all the difference in the result of my surgical procedure. A friend recommended him, because she was very happy with the quality of the surgical staff and her own results. She in turn was also originally recommended to Dr. Bashioum by a co-worker, who also had surgery. When choosing a doctor, I was not necessarily concerned with specific certifications, but personal references. Personal referrals led me to choose Dr. Bashioum for my surgery. During my consultation, I also enjoyed meeting members of the staff and feel confident that they are aware of my individual needs and truly do care about me.

He takes the time to really listen to your needs and explain everything thoroughly. He is extremely honest and truly cares for his patients. I could not be happier with my results! I would never go elsewhere. The staff makes you feel right at home the second you walk through the door! Sandy goes above and beyond to explain everything and listen to any questions you may have. I adore her also! 🙂 I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bashioum for any of your cosmetic needs! He is truly the best around!”
Dr. Ralph Bashioum’s reply: Dear Tammy, what a joy it is to read your kind review. From my earliest days of practicing cosmetic surgery in Wayzata, our mission has been to provide the kind of care you mention. I am honored that you are pleased with your results and took the time to share your thoughts regarding your personal experience! It is also heartwarming that you mention Sandy, who you rightly point out, has been at the heart of the practice for over 25 years. It takes a dedicated team to work harmoniously together for all these years and my entire staff makes it a pleasure to walk to my Wayzata surgical suite every week. I will be happy to share your review with my staff. Many thanks for your 5-Star Review.
