Dr. Ariel Niroomand Rad, MD

Background: I am a healthy male age 60. My story is a bit usual in that I sought treatment because of a past eye issue called Ectropion. A previous face lift performed several years prior to me seeing Dr. Rad, caused my eye left eye to sag and droop away from the eye. That prior surgery was not performed by Dr. Rad. Because of my Ectropion, I did not feel, nor believe, that my left eye was attractive looking. In my research to resolve and fix this Ectropion, I sought out several doctors who might be able to not only understand my concern about my eye, but also one who could delve right into the flaw and defect of my Ectropion, to resolve not only the physical nature of Ectropion, but also the aesthetics of my eye (and overall face). As I live in Tampa Florida, I had consultations with a half dozen local doctors. Each of my consultations with local Florida doctors turned out to be a waste of my consultation fee because the local doctors either thought that my eye was perfectly fine… and that I could live with the slight droop and sag of my left lower eyelid or did not appreciate my aesthetics concern. As such, I broadened my search for doctors outside of Florida including Washington DC. That’s how and where I found Dr. Rad. Dr. Rad's website specifically states a procedure called "Cat Eye" Canthoplasty/Cantoplexy to help "one whose eyes tilt slightly downward and/or whose outer lower eyelid contours appear to be “sagging." Canthoplasty/Cantoplexy can help those who have Ectropion. As such, I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Rad at his Washington, DC office. Dr. Rad understood my concerns both physically and aesthetics, and advised me that Canthoplasty/Cantoplexy would resolve my Ectropion. I agreed to have Dr. Rad perform the "cat eye," along with a mid-face lift and eyebrow lift. Surgery: Dr. Rad was very attentive to my concerns right before surgery and calmed my nerves. Dr. Rad cares about his patients. Dr. Rad listened to any and all questions and concerns that I had prior to surgery, and answered them all. And after surgery, Dr. Rad took my phone call from his cell phone two days after surgery, when I had a few questions about my recovery. Having Dr. Rad "on-call" for my questions really impressed me. But more importantly, Dr. Rad answered my concerns about bruising and swelling. As you can imagine, just two days after surgery, a patient can have mental and physical stress/distress. Dr. Rad was there, to talk to me the first time I rang his cell phone. I felt assured after speaking with Dr. Rad about my condition and recovery. As I write this now, I am 3 months post-op. My Ectropion is completely gone. The "cat eye" procedure not only resolved my underlying issue of Ectropion, but also gave my eyes a fresher look. Yes, the eyes are slightly tilted like a cat, but not so much where it looks unusual. The bottom line is that I received exactly what I asked for: "cat eye" that resolved my Ectropion--forever! I thank Dr. Rad from start (consultation) to end (end of surgery and now several months post-op). I not only recommend Dr. Rad for his face surgeries, but I recommend that prospective patients see only Dr. Rad for any and all of your facial surgeries. Should I ever have another surgery on my face (though unlikely), it is mandatory for me to have it done by Dr. Rad. Thank you Dr. Rad for resolving my Ectropion! I never thought it could be done, especially after speaking to the local Florida doctors who seemed to brush my concerns aside. “Recommending” Doctor Rad is an understatement. I believe that a man or woman must go to Doctor Rad because of his skill and care for his patients.

My first surgery was with Dr. Rad- from start to finish everything about the experience was amazing. Dr. Rad and his team made me feel so comfortable. Each appointment he took his time answering all my questions and concerns. 3 months post opt, my results are better then I ever could’ve imagined and exceeded my expectations in every way. Best surgeon and best experience. Cannot recommend Dr. Rad enough!

From consult to post-op, Dr. Rad has been incredible. He is kind, LISTENS, and has stellar bedside manner. His work speaks for itself as he is the king of subtle changes and beautiful results. I would highly recommend him and would absolutely see him in the future should I desire more work.

At our initial meeting, Dr. Rad took the time to clearly explain what he was seeing and what he had in mind that could solve my aesthetic and breathing concerns. I had plenty of questions about the procedure and he thoroughly answered each one, which left me feeling prepared and ready to proceed. My rhinoplasty/septoplasty surgery was in February. Dr. Rad rightfully runs a tight ship, and the entire care team was top notch. He called me to check in a few days afterwards, and has always been a pleasure to talk with. I recently had my 7 week post op, and could not be happier with the results. He’s a fantastic doctor, an artist really, and the results only speak for themselves. I would highly recommend following him on social media so you can see for yourself. If I have any future aesthetic concerns, he’ll be the first person to which I turn.

Had a revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Rad as well as a lip lift. He gave me exactly what I wanted. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, he has an incredible aesthetic eye. Surgery recovery is always difficult, but I looked normal soon after and was able to resume daily activities after just one week.

After searching for 2 years for the perfect surgeon to do my DIEP flap surgery, I found just that in Dr. Rad. His talent, experience and professionalism are matched by his compassion and kindness. I couldn’t be more pleased with my results and highly recommend Dr. Rad and his caring staff.

I had a rhinoplasty by Dr. Rad 2 months ago and I wish I would have gone to him sooner! I have always been insecure about my nose and have wanted a nose job for over 20 years. After meeting with Dr. Rad and talking with him and his team about the procedure, post-op, care, etc. I knew I was in the right hands. From the initial consultation to pre-op appointments to the day of surgery, and recovery, Dr. Rad and his team have been amazing! Dr. Rad is PHENOMENAL! He is compassionate, understanding, and incredibly talented! I am so incredibly happy with the result of my rhinoplasty and feel more confident in my looks than I ever have in my life! Thank you, Dr. Rad! You are a treasure!

Dr. Rad made me feel instantly comfortable from the consultation to the post-op! He really listens to the patient and what their needs and concerns are. I truly felt valued and heard! My results are incredible and exactly what I was looking for. 10/10 experience! Thank you to Dr. Rad and his team :)

I have to give Dr. Rad five stars for not only the good results from the surgery, but also for the after-care. I had minor complications that arose from the surgery (infection). Dr. Rad and his staff stayed in close contact and made sure that I fully recovered. I would highly recommended Dr. Rad if you are in the DC/VA region.

I wanted to find the best surgeon within a 100 miles to do my facial surgery. An extensive amount of research went into my decision to consult with Dr. Rad. I was not price shopping as that is not a risk I was willing to take with my face and I did not research the surgeries since I did not want to talk myself out of what I knew would be life changing. My first meeting with Dr. Rad convinced me I was making the right choice. I am 5 months post surgery and could not be happier with my results. Dr. Rad is an exceptional surgeon who is highly skilled in his craft. I highly recommend following his surgical plan for your best results. He is a true artist so let him do what he does best and I am confident you will be happy with your results. Words can not express my gratitude. He has changed my life.
