Dr. Pourtaheri is awesome!! He keeps it real, is super kind, professional, walks you through the process, answers any questions asked, and ensures you feel empowered and excited for what you're coming in for. What I enjoy about him and his clinic is that there aren't any underlying/manipulative tactics to psychologically make you feel like you 'need' more work done. I've encountered doctors that make micro-aggressive comments about your face and body, with the incentive for you to want more work done, with new insecurities forming. Him and his team absolutely do not do this. They're all lovely and very warm to be around. And shoutout to Melanie! She is who greets you when you come in and check out. All in all, great clinic vibe, superb aesthetic work, and new friends. If you're second guessing, then let this review be a sign for you to check him and his team out. You and them are worth it

Dr. Pourtaheri is a true professional! He is calm and self assured. I had a very bad surgery scar that he repaired and I am now good as new. While recovering, any medical person to whom I mentioned his name assured me that I was in superb hands. I recommend him to anyone who needs his expertise.

Dr. Pourtaheri gives you 100% of his attention during appointments. He's professional and efficient, but he's also kind and patient. The first time I saw him, I wasn't sure what I wanted. I just knew I felt prematurely aged and wanted to look fresher and more youthful. He explained many different procedures, and we agreed on one that I felt best about (least downtime, most cost-effective, and best choice for my skin issues). I was very happy with my laser surfacing results and will be returning for another procedure!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Pourtaheri. I came to him after four surgery for breast cancer. I was defeated and he was my last hope. I was done. He walked in, made me feel at peace, saw all the issues I had without me even speaking. We talked about it and came up with a game plan for two surgeries. Both surgeries went without issue.Healing and recovery were what is expected with surgeries. Lots of appointments with him and his staff. Lots of travel back and forth from Sacramento. Today is the first day in 5 years I can say my cancer journey door is FINALLY closed because of this doctor. He was willing to take the HOT MESS my chest was to make it what I get rock now. I cried walking out today, it’s done and I look AMAZING. He cares about his patients and is freaking SMART. He listens to the patient. He doesn’t speak over you. He doesn’t speak to you in terms you don’t understand. He made not just me feel comfortable but my husband and daughter as well. I will forever send people to see Dr. Pourtaheri. Thank you will never be enough for giving me back something I’d never see again. Next up - skin removal and tummy tuck!

I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude for Dr. Navid Pourtaheri and the entire team at Bay Area Esthetics Plastic Surgery in Santa Rosa. From the very beginning, Dr. Pourtaheri made me feel heard, understood, and completely supported. His kindness, professionalism, and remarkable skill set him apart — he is a truly fantastic plastic surgeon in every sense of the word. My abdominal skin removal surgery was an incredible success. Not only was the entire process smooth and reassuring, but the results have completely exceeded my highest hopes. Dr. Pourtaheri’s attention to detail, surgical expertise, and genuine care are evident in every aspect of my outcome. I feel like a new person — confident, comfortable in my own skin, and excited for the future. This surgery has been life-changing for me, and I owe it to Dr. Pourtaheri’s exceptional talent and compassion. I am forever grateful for the care I received and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a surgeon who is truly the best at what he does. Thank you, Dr. Pourtaheri, for changing my life.
