Dr. John Philip Disaia, MD

much less expensive than Dr Alter the Beverly Hills doc. Dr D is personable and provides excellent results in this very specialized surgery. Offices are meager but his attention and care are epic.

I can't imagine what the haters here were thinking. Dr D is the best. He does outstanding body work (breast implants lipo tummy tuck). I don't care a bit on his celebrity commentary. He does that for giggles. Does that define him? No. What defines him is epic work and outstanding care before and after the surgery. He sees his patients in his offices many more times than the average surgeon.

Dr D is a practical down to Earth professional who shares his time more than any other surgeon I have met. His offices are quite basic but his work is absolutely epic. He repaired the work of my former hack doctor and saw me many many times after in his offices. If you are nearby, he is to be experienced before you go to some arrogant hack in Newport Beach like I did. My boobs are beautiful and soft like they should have been before Dr hack messed them up. Thanks Dr D! Patient for life!

Office decor aside an excellent choice for a plastic suregon. Integrity and Professionalism.

The few negative reviews here can't be for real. They are probably from a competing doctor. I checked Dr D out quite a bit before I choose him to do my labia surgery. He is board certified with a spotless record with the medical board. And on the pig comment: that is ridiculous. He handled my very embarrassing problem like a complete gentleman. And now I look like a Playboy girl down there. He is the best and I would like to slap that animal who made that nasty comment right in the face!

He did my TT, spends lots of time with you. He may not have a high end office but he does good work. Very happy with results, would recommend.

This is a person who is occasionally quoted by newspapers on plastic surgery, and sometimes acts as a medical pundit on his local fox news affiliate. However, there are no third party reliable sources that are actually about this personBeing a "real plastic surgeon" (even "a good one") is not enough. Being quoted a lot is not enough. John Disaia has published next to nothing in peer-reviewed journalsGoogle News search finds mostly quotes from him in the Orange County Register, where he appears to specialize in gossiping about the plastic surgery results of celebrities. There appears to be no independent coverage ABOUT him.The bottom line is that he has had only one article in a peer reviewed journal, published in 1998, in which he was one of three authors. The other items on his CV are things like a presentation at a meeting, or publications in non-peer-reviewed journals.

For a plastic surgeon Dr D is remarkably low key and real. A trustworthy plastic surgeon is a good friend to have as age plays its tricks. My only complaint is that his satellite office in Orange is a not so pretty an older building and not typical looking for a plastic surgeon's office. He made up for that with the quality of his tummy tuck work and his free after surgery appointments. I saw him many many times after surgery and never paid for one.

3.5 STARS THE SUMMARY AND THE YELP 4STAR REVIEWS DON'T ADD UP.
