My Botox in Washington DC office of dr araya at vita surgical group couldn't have been better. I moved from New York and didn't know where to go. I checked yelp and found out that yelp charges doctor's for 5 star reviews. I tried a few doctors but it wasn't good enough. Dr araya scheduling was perfect. He's been doing this for 17+ years. When I first met him His bed side manners were mesmerizing. I barely felt the Botox needle.i got perfect results. The cost was very affordable. Now all my friends and I go to him and i plan to have my eyelid lift and chin lipo done by him.

Dr. Araya and his staff are amazing. I'm a week out of surgery but I know that all will be well. He and his staff instructed, made sure I understood the instructions, then instructed me again. I highly recommend Dr. Araya!

I was told about Dr. Araya by a friend and I am glad I took the advice. My botox results are amazing. I liked that they guaranteed the results because it showed me that they care about their customers. The doctor and staff were very professional and understanding when I had to keep rescheduling.

I must commend the staff, excellent, the atmosphere clean. The doctor, I must say did a very good job on my stomach. They walked me through the process and made me comfortable. I would never choose anyone else. Thanks Vita Surgical Group and Dr. Araya.

I got my lipo in my lower abs and I saw immediate results in my waist line after a few weeks. My waist line shrunk so much that my pants were constantly falling down. I am so happy with my work. It has boosted my confidance. And the staff was great. They made my experience excellant. Thank you guys so much!!!
