Due to diagnosis of Basal Cell Carcinoma, I required reconstructive surgery after Moh’s surgery, which left me with a defect on my nose > 1 cm. I have a positive outlook on my appearance post surgery, thanks to Dr. Glafkides. He performed flap surgery on my nose that has healed nicely and is barely noticeable. In addition to following my progress, he has constantly displayed a caring attitude pre and post surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Glafkides for his excellent, reconstructive facial skills. He offers so much to his patients and I’m glad to have chosen him as my experienced plastic surgeon.

I cannot reccomend Dr. Glafkides enough. I did a Rhinoplasty (alongside Septoplasty done by Dr. Ellison at Sutter). The results are amazing and my nose still looks very natural. Glafkides is an incredible surgeon and also very kind + attentive. He and Melinda were very accommodating in scheduling appointments around my work schedule. Overall it was a very smooth experience!

I am beyond grateful that I found Dr. Gladkides! I can’t say enough wonderful things about him and Melinda. Dr. Gladkides partnered with my ENT, Dr. Ellison, for my nose surgery, and he was everything I could have ever hoped for in a surgeon; gentle, polite, kind, and endlessly patient. From start to finish, he made me feel calm and cared for, which meant so much since I was quite nervous. I wanted a very subtle change while undergoing a septoplasty, and he achieved exactly that, a natural, refined result that didn't change my appearance. His skill and eye for detail are truly exceptional. Both Dr. Gladkides and Melinda are professional, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to their patients. I’m beyond grateful for their care and would recommend them without hesitation. Truly outstanding in every way.

I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience with Dr. Glafkides was! Not only is he a true artist at his craft, but Dr. G, along with Melinda, TRULY care deeply for patients and it not only shows, but you can feel it when you enter the office. This was my second procedure with Dr. Glafkides and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a cosmetic surgeon.

My experience with Dr. Glafkides has been absolutely incredible! He is an amazing surgeon. I began my search for the right doctor about ten years ago and although I had consulted with a number of cosmetic surgeons, I did not connect with any of them in the way that I have with Dr. G. He is knowledgeable, experienced and does wonderful work. Under his care he performed my mini face lift and upper eyelid surgery which has changed my life immensely! I feel confident in my skin once again. I could not be happier! I highly recommend him for all your cosmetic work. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Dr. G!
