Dr. Peter Raphael, MD

Dr.Peter Raphael has done several procedures on me due to weight loss. He started with a lower face lift, neck lift, and breast implants.My next surgery was a total body lift, and arm lift. I still have one surgery left with my legs being the last thing. It has been a incredible journey. Dr.Raphael has changed my life for the better. He is compassionate, caring, and he is truly is an artist when it comes to his work. He was recommended by a friend. I will never have any regrets , as he has changed my life for the better. Thank You Dr.Raphael!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Early 2020 and decided to go for bilateral mastectomies. however I made my biggest mistake and did not to reach out Dr Raphael to see if he does reconstruction, I had a rough journey at UT Southwestern and another reconstruction surgeon and end it up to have very asymmetrical and ugly breasts. I hated to see myself and it really mentally and emotionally bothered me till Dr Raphael confidently performed the surgery and made my breast great again!! I’m more than happy and grateful Also he performed Tommy tuck and I’m even more grateful Both procedures went absolutely fine with no issues, He and his staff are so supportive and helpful Thank you so very much

DR. Raphel was so kind...he answered all my questions and calmed my fears. He surronds himself with nurses who are kind and available...I will be coming back for any other proceedures.

Doctor Raphael is the best of the best. I would NOT feel comfortable going to anyone else. He listens and actually cares….He always goes above and beyond. ????

I am so grateful to have had Dr. Peter Raphael as my surgeon. He demonstrated so much care and thoughtfulness when discussing what I wanted, asking questions about aspects of what I wanted that it never would have occurred to me to say anything about. Every interaction we had showed how much he wanted to make sure that this surgery would leave me with the body I wanted, the real me. It was incredibly affirming even before surgery. He was patient and reassuring when I voiced anxiety or asked questions. I felt affirmed and accommodated at every step of the process. Seeing myself in the mirror for the first time post-op was better than I could have imagined. I cannot recommend Dr. Peter Raphael strongly enough, especially to other non-binary folks. Thank you for all the help I have received from dr Peter and his team they were very professional

Dr Peter Raphael es el peor cirujano q pueda existir, su falta de ética profesional y su practica dejan mucho q desear. En el año 2021 pague sus servicios y deposite mi confianza, en El. le confié mi vida, mi salud y mi dinero pensando que estaba en las manos de un profesional. Que equivocada estaba! Yo pague por un procedimiento de abdominoplastia, Lipo 360 y transferencia de grasa hacia los gluteos con un costo de $14k. La cirugía se llevo a cabo sin complicaciones. Pero al siguiente dia de mi cirugía algo me hizo sospechar que había sido estafada. El procedimiento fue incompleto. Solo se me realizo el tummy tuck. No hubo lipo y no hubo bbl. Oh desepcion! Hable con su staff y con El. Me dieron una explicación poco convencedora y despues de una larga discusión Dr Peter acepto una segunda cirugía para corregir las áreas no tratadas y la imperfección de mis gluteos. Un año mas tarde me someto a una segunda cirugía , esta vez seria lipo 360 y bbl. Doble desepcion!! Se me practico… un trabajo mediocre y para nada profesional. NO RECOMIENDO al Dr Peter Raphael para tu cirujano. Es deshonesto y poco profesional, su trabajo en mi persona pareciera el de un cirujano novato. Fui estafada y humillada, Caí en depresión a causa de una mala practica. Perdí mis ahorros y mi tiempo y mi trabajo por causa de un medicucho deshonesto como lo es Dr Peter Raphael. Tengo fotos del antes y el después para respaldar mis declaraciones.

This surgery center across the hall was excellent (Surgery Center of Texas). The doctor is excellent (Dr. Peter Raphael). The nursing staff was excellent (Each one was kind, patient, persistent and present). If the review stopped here, I would give them 5 stars. They are the reason this review caries stars at all. The business practices scare the living crap out of me. This business entity is rapidly turning into an Insurance 'bait and switch' to Cash group. I was there for an Orchiectomy, with cash on hand, plus insurance that would approve the operation. They recommended I have insurance process and cover the operation (that was a mistake that cost me 4 months of physical swelling pain tolerance for which they were not very sympathetic). In addition for those considering anything other than botom surgeries, they have a 2 year standing policy to NOT bill to insurance any BA or Facial surgeries, even if you have an insurance contract verified that covers it. If you are a… cash only patient, you would do well with Dr. Peter Raphael, hands down. They are the reason an otherwise 5 star review is docked to 2 stars. They are split into 2 entities once you enter the front door, the "Med Spa on the left", and the "Surgery Center of Texas on the right". The remaining of this review is regarding the Med Spa's business practices. If you have insurance to cover your transgender procedures, go somewhere else (I've found a few others in Texas and California, I can travel to and still spend TENS of THOUSANDS less money because they are in network). Their communication speed and consistency was very lacking, I would often wait up to two weeks at a time past major milestones for return of phone calls or emails, and wouldn't get follow up information until I reached out to them. They misrepresented my max out of pocket as my deductible, and then quoted me an insurance cost higher than the cash price, then lied to me stating they 'just called' my insurance company to verify the data, as my insurance company keeps detailed records on all correspondence and told me of each time they were contacted by them. They 'accidentally' emailed me someone else identifiable medical insurance information (a HIPAA violation for certain, as a white hat, I could have gone to town on that persons info). They had unfortunate issues processing my cash payment for 2 months that required careful banker investigation and resending of the funds. At preop, they did not have my present records ready, I made calls in the patient room to resend while waiting. They attempted to have me SIGN A CONTRACT TO PREVENT ME from 'member filing' the cash paid procedures to my preapproved medical insurance. They did so during the pre-op visit within a bundle of rapid read and sign paperwork. I did not agree, and manually altered the language before I signed, and had them sign and return me a copy of my altered version. I cannot express this enough, THIS IS A TRAP, DO NOT SIGN IT!!! It bars insurance companies from pursuing claims information on your behalf. It is the unfortunate outcome of medical providers not successfully negotiating with insurance companies and instead retreating into their own rabbit holes of cash. There are, however, many medical providers whom are much better at navigating the insurance markets. These other providers must be rewarded for their success, seek them out. However, this contract also altered the procedure of the Orchiectomy from Medically Necessary (as preapproved by my insurance) to Cosmetic in terminology with their Surgery Center. As such, they refused to produce a medical insurance billing statement with CPT Codes and Procedures to me so that I can complete the medical billing claim process on my own. I requested medical records, they promised 14 business day return (2 weeks and 4 days), and they stated I could get the records from the Med Spa and the Surgery Center in one release form, and fee. The Surgery Center did not agree and requested I send a separate form (which was a different format). The Med Spa has passed the legal 15 business day (3 calendar weeks) return of medical records, and I still have not received them, a note regarding their readiness, an email, phone call, nor a note regarding their unwillingness to produce the records (please note, the Surgery Center did produce medical records on time, and without fee!). I did have an excellent surgery with excellent results and recovery. They are 'fast' with cash patience, and kinder to repeat patients (as I've noted my friends are getting better business treatment than I am at the same place, even discounted cash prices for the same procedure). At this time I CAN NOT ENDORSE anybody going to them for a procedure if you expect to get service from their business entity. When you plan to spend over $2000, for anything, proper business practices are also a necessary bedside manner.

He seems credible and answered all my equations. I was very specific about what I wanted and expected. he said yes to everything. What I got was lumpy, dented, stretch marks, large areas of essential fat removed. I have cannula marks everywhere. I have new cellulite everywhere. He is not skilled in liposuction at all.

Dr. Raphael far exceeded my expectations for this type of surgery. With my body type, he PERFECTLY sculpted my chest and made it look flawless!! There was no left over breast tissue or saggy skin. The incision lines were among the best I have ever seen (clean, small, and proportional). I would recommend him to anyone! On top of his experience and knowledge, he is one of the nicest guys i've ever met. He truly cares about the well-being of his patients and is there to answer any questions. His staff are professional, caring, compassionate, and personable just as he is. I would NEVER go anywhere else!!!

I have a nose job with him, I have no idea how he call him self a surgeon he did a horrible job on me, he tried to fix it and now it's even worst, I have scar that it was not on my nose before, I spent my money to get my nose screw up by him. STAY AWAY FROM HIM IF YOU WANT A RHINOPLASTY GO WITH A PROFESSIONAL NOT PETER RAPHAEL
