What a Blessing my Path Was Directed to Dr Machida
I am just so completely “over the moon” with happiness and satisfaction with Dr. Machida and his office. I was previously scheduled with another read more... plastic surgeon that was over twice as much - and that did not include a mandatory hospital stay. And could not even get a consultation with another to fit in my timeframe. Dr. Machida got me within my quick timeframe and did an excellent job. I have a great comparison as I had a facelift 11 years ago with a plastic surgeon (for a lot more money - and pain) with very poor results. For the sake of conservativeness, that surgery was not much difference. This put me in a state of depression. Dr. Machida not only got me scheduled right away - I did not have to be in the hospital with general anesthesia- had barely any pain and healed very quickly. My husband was astounded on my progress. What a blessing that my path was directed to Dr. Machida. I do believe I was directed by God as when I saw the website where Dr. Machida was a Christian and went on missions, I knew I would be in good hands.
