Michael M Papalian, MD

I was referred to Dr Papalian for a tummy tuck. Dr P has a wonderfully refreshing honesty and a great demeanor. He let me know what I was in for; I was looking at major surgery.
The young ladies who run the office (Lisa and Nibila) were very sweet and terrific to work with on scheduling, follow-​ups, etc.
It’s been 10 weeks since surgery, recovery has been slow but steady and the results are absolutely fabulous!!!

Dr. Papalian removed a smallish mole from my teen daughters chest, solely cosmetic but important to her. He made us both feel so confident in his skill as well as in our decision to remove it. He spent a huge amount of time just talking to her about life and practicing medicine and did an amazing job explaining the way to keep the incision from scarring and how long it would really take to fade.
This was an extremely insignificant procedure for a Dr. of his caliber with the kind of practice he has, but at no time did he ever make us feel insignificant. Our dermatologist recommended him as one of only a couple plastic surgeons around that would even bother with such a small item, and that he was the best there is for this kind of thing.
His office staff was equally as pleasant, professional, and prompt. When the bill came I was shocked at how very little it was. Go see Dr. Papalian if you ever need anything removed and don’t want a «scar».

Dr. Michael Papalian performed an abdominoplasty surgery three weeks ago with the most FABULOUS results. Dr. Papalian is extremely thorough and professional and was supportive and clear about my treatment options addressing all my concerns. His bedside manners were outstanding.
My office visits and communications over the phone with the front desk staff were always professional. My follow-​up appointments were always positive and ON TIME, I never had to wait more than 1 – 2 minutes.
I highly recommend him.

Dr. Papalian performed a breast reduction on me in 1995. I am as happy with it today as the day I received it. He is an excellent surgeon! Highly skilled at his craft. I have and would recommend him to my friends and family. I was so very fortunate to have found him. Thank you for making my life so much better!

A very talented and professional Plastic Surgeon. Wonderful helpful office staff. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Papalian to my family and friends. He trained at Stanford and has been in the community for over 25 years.
