Dr. Jon Edward Rast, MD

I do NOT recommend Dr. Jon Rast at Associated plastic surgeons! I contracted with Dr. Rast to perform a MINI ARM LIFT bracioplasty, (a short scar vertical incision under my armpit) under local anesthesia to correct creepiness in the front of my arms. Dr. Rast performed the surgery UNSUCCESSFULLY on me TWICE - the first time the creepiness remained the same as before the surgery, but worse, as Dr. Rast suspended the creepiness folds outwards by his stitchwork, and the SECOND time again no improvement in the creepiness, except AGAIN while Dr. Rast opened the same incision he suspended the creepiness folds forwards with his stitchwork and THIS time he mismeasured and REMOVED TOO MUCH SKIN. resulting in LIMITED RANGE OF MOTION in fully raising my right arm! Also as a result of Dr. Rast’s removal too much skin (while at the same time managing NOT to fix any of the creepiness), the NEXT surgeon I presented to at a different facility to fix the creepiness and to fix Dr. Rast’s botched… surgeries, had to use the more invasive brachioplasty technique - the long incision half-way down my elbow. The next surgeon successfully fixed the creepiness under my arms on his FIRST surgery, while Dr. Rast failed TWICE and while Dr. Rast caused limited range of motion in fully raising my right arm by mismeasuring and removing too much skin. Not only did Dr. Rast breach the contract by his lack of competence, I also experienced Dr. Rast to be uncaring and dishonest, the manager also, and they would not refund my money. (The above is all in my opinion.)

I have been thinking about plastic surgery for a couple years and just the thought of finding a surgeon was overwhelming until I came across Dr. Rast and his practice. The facility & staff were very nice & professional...I felt very comfortable and reassured right away. Dr. Rast was very professional and knowledgeable. He listened to exactly what I wanted as a patient and what my expectations were and never did I feel pressured, not in control, or "upsold" in the process. The results have been beyond my expectations and I'm so thankful that I came across this practice & Dr. Rast!

I am seeking revisions with a different surgeon.

Everything sounded great, nice personable guy. Results were quite poor, did procedures he either shouldn't have done or didn't have a skill level to complete. I am so very disappointed and the results. My wife would have been better off never going here. Do your homework or learn to appreciate what you have.. it could be worse after.

Dr. Rast was wonderful. He explained all of the surgery details for me and made sure all of my questions were answered. He made sure that I was comfortable before proceeding and checked on me before and after surgery. His staff was also highly resourceful and helpful. Overall a great doctor and person and I highly recommend for anyone needing plastic surgery.

Dr. Rast is very caring and talented doctor, it shows in his surgeries. I am 64 years old and he did a breast reduction and modified tummy tuck on me, and the results are beautiful! You cannot go wrong with this wonderful doctor!

Required surgery for Stage II skin cancer on my face. Dr Rast came in on his day off to consult with me the day after I called for an appointment. Surgery was scheduled quickly, just 1 week later. He was very thorough answering all my questions & explaining my options. Procedure & skin graft went smoothly, and followup appointments in his office have been a breeze - I have never felt rushed during an appointment, he takes his time & listens. Staff and nurses are polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend!!!!

My experience with Dr. Rast and his staff was fantastic! Dr. Rast's office rescheduled my consultation very quickly following a blizzard and Dr. Rast spent a huge amount of time making sure I understood the process I was facing. He was the only doctor that saw me in the hospital the day following my mastectomies, and was very attentive throughout my reconstruction process. Front office staff and his nurses, particularly, were wonderful.

I had a terrible experience with this doctor, thought the nursing care was lacking and the attitude, in my opinion, was blasé and in attentive.

Doctor Rast is GREAT!!!! He changed my life in sooo many ways!! Thank you for everything APS
