Testimonials from the patients of Dr. Michael G. Cedars

I don’t see how anyone, seeking to have any kind of cosmetic surgery, could find anyone better than Dr. Cedars and his staff to perform the procedure

He volunteers his time fixing cleft palates for children in his spare time- an unbelievably energetic human!

Dr cedars is one of a kind and amazing. Love him, his staff, front desk. He’s done work on my mom and I and he is the best! Such a nice guy. Everyone makes you feel totally comfortable! More like family. Would recommend them to ANYONE!

I wish I had found Dr. Cedars when I first started thinking about cosmetic surgery. I had several facial procedures done with other doctors over the past 15 years, and then found Dr. Cedars. I could have avoided the other procedures had I found Dr. Cedars first! He and his staff were warm and welcoming. They answered all my questions. Because of their personal attention, they made me feel as if I was their favorite client. And I love the results. I would recommend Dr. Cedars to anyone.
