Dr. Karl Hekimian, M.D.

After several atempts to remove lines from my face using a fat transfer technique, I still have all the lines plus several scars. I believe I was used as a trial patient and do not believe this doctor had the expertise to attempt this procedure.

Dr. Hekimian did not perform surgery on me although he did to a family member who was extremely satisfied. But he treated my burns and under his care I healed up in 1.5 weeks shorter than the hospital thought i'd heel up. He'd check me every few days to see how I was progressing and him and his staff were very courteous and knowledgeable. I am very very satisfied with him and his staff. He was honest and told me I didn't need surgery, and I was afraid someone might say I needed surgery just to earn more money. In the hospital my doctors had said I may need surgery so was glad when he said I definitely didn't and it turns out he was correct. I would definitely recommend him to family/friends.

incredibly rude--impossible for my wife to ask any questions--does not explain well the surgery or what to expect later--is very cold but we think overall he is a good doctor with absolutely no personality or ability to communicate with you--the staff seems scared to death of him

Dr. Hekimian ruined my breasts. He left me with huge scars after all his sutures came undone and caused my areolas to stretch and double in size. I had a pinched nerve, a blood clot, a muscle attached to the implant causing rippling and a uni-boob. I was in pain for two months and couldn't go back to work. He butchered me. After everything healed, he had the audacity to tell me he thought my now four inch areolas with centre meter scars around them looked better than my natural breasts that were perfectly fine before. The experience was horrible. I've since had another surgery to fix what he did, but my breasts will never be the same.

Dr. Hekimian and his staff are probably the most uncaring, unsanitary, rude and incompetent group of humans on earth. He ego is far larger than his ability to care for patients. He is barbaric in his treatment!

Dirty operation. Caused infection that eventually required amputation. Would not let operate on a dog.

I am horrified of the job he did on my breast. I dont want anybody to see, I am so humiliated. I am now deformed. I dont have money to get them fixed, this is something I will have to live with for ever. Wish I would have never had this procedure.

incredible credentials; exceptionally caring; remarkable that he is here in Tucson and not a metropolitan area; one of those docs that you can actually leave the medical decisions to him and not really worry about the outcome at all...an extreme pleasure and relief for someone who needs/desires care from the BEST
