I've gone to many plastic surgeons over the years, and Dr. Clavin is by far the best. He is so down to earth and friendly too. I swear he is more like a sculptor. My nose is great, and he is perfect at botox and fillers!

I had a face lift and eyelid surgery by Dr. Clavin 6 months ago. I am an attractive 62 year old and never had plastic surgery before. I interviewed four other plastic surgeons before selecting Dr. Clavin------Thank God-----I made the right choice. My result is fantastic. Everyone comments how good I look-----I feel and look 15 years younger. THANKYOU DR. CLAVIN.

A very skilled plastic surgeon who really spends time with his patients. He has a great aesthetic eye and gives such a natural look. I highly recommend him. He is respected by his peers.

I have spent years of anguish and tens of thousands of dollars trying to undo Dr. Clavin's horrible work. This has ruined me emotionally and financially. My nose used to be nice from the front and long from the side and now has a horrible pinched and operated appearance. This was the worst decision I ever made!

Dr. Clavin told me he could not deliver a "10" on a revision rhinoplasty for me. If it is not a "10", it is pretty close! After only 4 days, I was able to socialize without anybody knowing. Now it is gradually becoming less swollen. My nose is not only smaller, but the shape is very pretty. Clavin wanted to do several grafts on my nose, and I was SO nervous; I was afraid it would be bigger. He assured me it would look smaller, and he was, without a doubt, right on. He even told me there was nothing that could be done with the middle portion of my nose (called the columella), but the graft he placed in the tip absolutely makes the columella look inifinitely better. I used to hate the way sunglasses looked on me, and now I find they all look good. I do not worry about getting a little sun on my nose, because it does not look large now when that happens. Clavin is a true artist, and I feel so lucky and blessed to have found him.
