Dr. Chia Chi Kao, MD

Dr. Kao is the best…his methods are cutting edge and so genuine and caring – a rare combination. He is HONEST with you on what you need to look better than ever. It is easy to see that HIS WORK IS HIS LIFE, which in turn, makes you and the outcome of your surgery a priority to him. The entire staff is very dedicated and have gone above and beyond to take care of me in my after surgery care. (my recommendation is to listen to him and his team and do what they say). I’m a woman that tries to take care of myself and aging is a privilege with the choice on how I do it. Thank you Dr. Kao!!

Dr. Kao is an exemplary surgeon and I feel blessed that he was available for me. The scar revision became a bit more extensive when the doctor discovered a large hernia, but he patiently and expertly repaired it. I felt very well cared for and at ease the whole time. It was a stellar experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend Dr. Kao and The Kao Center!

Wonderful doctor, amazing staff, pleasant experience.

Dr. Kao is unique in that he seems to have a keen intuition, an artistic eye and a sensitivity of heart for creating just the right effect. I highly value the genuine care of Dr. Kao, his expertise and the trust that I feel in his abilities. My surgical experience has been excellent, and I know that I have been in the best hands throughout my process. Because of a cleft lip at birth, some of my corrective needs have not been simple. This last surgery, I can honestly say, was brilliant. I am highly satisfied with the details of my surgery, and am so happy with result!

After 1 1/2 years of healthy diet and exercise I came to Dr. Kao with two problem areas; my love handles and slight belly paunch. He listened to my history and my wants. He did a thorough examination and interview with me to get a clear understanding of what solution(s) were available to me and what would best address my needs. I especially liked that he gauged my tolerance for end results, potential scarring, and post op care. After seeking 2nd and 3rd opinions I came back to Dr. Kao because both his diagnosis and interview clearly showed me that he had both my best interests at heart and he knew how he could best help me. The procedure went smoothly. The surgical team (and anesthesiologist) were friendly, professional, and highly skilled. My post-op care was filled with frequent check ins, communication, and patience as I asked many questions and the team wanted to ensure I got the best results from the procedure. Even with the expected swelling after the procedure I could see the… results immediately. The incision for the tummy tuck was discreet and healed so quickly! I had minor complications with drainage. (I am a tall person and the abdominal area had excess fluids to remove due to my activity levels and minor flexing/bending) But through it all the team took care of it and just over a month after the procedure with the swelling going down (there is still some swelling that may take months to go away) my love handles are gone and my stomach is more tone and flatter than it has ever been. I cannot wait to see how things look in the coming months as the swelling goes away and I am able to get more active and fine tune the new body Dr. Kao and his staff allowed me to have. What a great staff! Always pleasant, courteous, and professional. And accommodating! They are always checking in on my progress and they truly care as evidenced when I have my post-op visits. they have been the best!

He is an exceptional person and physician whose knowledge and perfectionism really come through from the minute you walk into the office. His staff is professional, kind, caring, authentic, and the office is a model for excellence.

Dr.Kao was there for me every step of the way! I'm so happy I went with him.

I had surgery with Dr.Kao and I am very pleased with the results. Not only did he explain to me in a very precise manner, he had a wonderful bedside manner. He followed up with me at the aftercare facility and through text and calls daily. I felt very well taken care of during my recovery. My result is phenominal. People say I look 10 years younger!!!! All of his staff is very professional and friendly. Nurse Anh (?) was so sweet and caring. Sasha, his assistant was so professional and helped me with all of my questions and phone calls. Kelly, the coordinator was a joy! What a wonderful team to have! I will tell all my friends and family about Dr. Kao. 10 out of 10 !
