Patient Reviews

I have been going to Dr. Newman (and worked with him as well) for many years now. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Dr. Newman and his work. His work is top notch and he's an industry leader. His staff is caring, warm and professional. I've know Windy for many years and she takes great care of everything. She is wonderful! I highly recommend Dr. Newman!

I had a great experience with Dr. Newman and his team (Windy & Dee) this year. I underwent a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty a few weeks ago. Dee and Windy frequently contacted me to check in after the surgery and to answer questions which I appreciated. The surgery itself was done with local anesthesia and there was very little pain and discomfort. I was sent home with an eye ointment and all the prescriptions I needed to stay pain free and heal well. There was no pain during recovery at all, so I ended up not using the pain meds. The undereye bruising cleared in about a week. I had a minor complication, chemosis in the right eye, that appeared about a week after the surgery. It's important to note that this can happen to anyone who gets this procedure done, regardless of choice of surgeon. Dr. Newman saw me quickly, and suggested continuing to use the ointment they supplied earlier, and the chemosis cleared up in about a week. I also just want to say how great Dee was especially, I love how personable and friendly she is, and when I came into the office she seemed to read my mind (I already wanted the lower bleph but hadn't said anything yet, and she seemed to already know!! haha.) Anyway! I'm happy with the results Dr. Newman managed to achieve for me, and I'll very likely be back to try out some non surgical treatments too in the future.

Dr. Newman is talented, thorough, patient and kind. He goes above and beyond to make sure his patients are happy. Although he could be a total diva (like many extremely talented docs)due to his educational (Stanford) and professional pedigree, he is totally unpretentious. Grateful to have found him! Highly recommend!

Dr. Newman is a very kind, patient, and talented surgeon. I recently came in for a rhinoplasty and could not be more satisfied with the results.
I was extremely nervous to have the procedure done, as I have never had surgery before. He made sure to take the time and walk me through the entire process and sent me pictures of what type of nose would be suitable to my face based on what I told him I was looking for. Within a few weeks from my consultation, I had the surgery scheduled and it went even better than I expected.
I'm so thankful for this doctor and his entire staff. They made sure I was relaxed and comfortable during the entire procedure, and I woke up feeling great. The recovery went very smoothly and I had very minimal bruising the first three days.
Dr. Newman is very talented at his craft. If you are even considering undergoing any medical procedure, he is definitely someone you need to visit. I absolutely love my new nose and could not be thankful enough!









Dr. Newman has the best bedside manner I have ever experienced. This is important, because while doing these procedures you need someone that listens to what you're saying and who will be honest and advise you accordingly.
He is extremely caring, nothing like what you would expect from the top plastic surgeon; many of them are so conceited that you can't even talk to them. Big egos. Not here; I am in deep like with this facility. When someone takes a good 20 years off your appearance, you just have to be grateful and thankful. He does that! I even met a woman there that was around 70, and she didn't look a day over 50 or maybe even less. She looked completely natural, no ridiculous bubble lips or other funny things.
I honestly cannot say enough about this doctor and staff.
Thank you Dr. Newman for raising my confidence and self-esteem.



I met with Dr. Newman in Half Moon Bay, and later had my surgery in Palo Alto, Calif.
The doctor came in and just picked up a pen and drew where he would make his cuts, and off I went into a beautiful, clean and state of the
art surgery room. I was amazed to go from a doctors exam room to this beautiful room.
Dr. Newman is an artist, to be able to just draw what he is going to do and it comes out perfect.
His Anesthesiologist, Dr. Sun was amazing as well, he knew I was nervous about the anesthesia because I always have problems with my veins. Not this time, he numbed me, which I never felt and after there was just a little bruise.
I also must mention his nurse, Dee Mouhouche was always kind, gentle and reassuring.
From the staff to my end result I felt no pain and was always treated with the utmost respect.
Thank you, you will all probably see me again!









I developed love handles and a slight pouch as I aged and stopped working out. From the rear you can see the small spare tire (or love handles) I now carry. I decided to be proactive and researched various options excluding liposuction.
Initially Cool Sculpting caught my eye about a year ago. I viewed this as a viable option at the time and decided to wait until after I relocated to my new state and got settled into my new job to pursue it further. A year after the move I began looking into options again and came across Vanquish Me. I work in the tech industry so the science of Vanquish made sense and looked even less invasive than Cool Sculpting. Additionally, a much larger area is treated in one sitting. I called and spoke with a woman named Lisa in the San Mateo office who was very kind and informative.
A few days ago I went in for my first Vanquish session. The day before the procedure, I purchased a gallon of water and drank about 100 of the 128 ounces, which is nearly half of my numerical body weight. They took excellent care of me throughout the process. I pointed out to the doctor my concerns about the width of my waist and the machine not hitting the back area. They addressed my concerns by conducting a session with me laying on my back for a time Then they turned me over on my stomach for additional time. Windy oversaw the procedure and was a great conversationalist during the entire session. She was also was extremely meticulous in the placement of the device, which I definitely appreciate. She often inquired if the heat felt even and she kept an eye on the equipment. As the energy penetrated it felt like an electric blanket on a low-to-medium setting.
When the session ended Windy suggested I massage the areas, drink plenty of fluids, and at a minimum take a brisk walk. I did all three. After just one session my stomach is noticeably flatter and my love handles are smaller. Best of all the skin around these areas is tighter. I couldn't believe the quick results and found myself grabbing my sides and midsection throughout the rest of the evening just to ensure I was not imagining this. I still have more fat to treat but I am very pleased with the outcome thus far. I think flipping me over for additional time made a difference versus treating the areas from the front only. Also, being in residual shape from my previous workout activity likely played a role as most of my unwanted fat is subcutaneous, not visceral.
After seeing these results I ordered a Sweet Sweat waist trimmer belt on Amazon. I intend to exercise in it to augment this process. I may mention this to the Doctor's office as an item they might consider selling, giving, or suggesting to their patients. Suggest not wearing it until a few days after the session.
I am scheduled to have a total of three sessions. I think I will only have two, take a one or two month break allowing my body to completely normalize, then come back for one or two additional sessions. I will ask the doctor his thoughts. I think this is a pragmatic approach. I have heard of individuals having as many as six consecutive sessions in as many weeks, which I view as somewhat extreme. Another issue with that approach is persons requiring six sessions may not be in the best condition, which slows recovery. They may consider taking more time for their body to recover and/or normalize between sets. Taking a break such as I intend to do may be more useful for them than for people like myself who may be in a bit better shape. Try two or three sessions. Take a month or two break. Then reassess.
Additionally, this procedure will dissolve subcutaneous fat that is in front of your ab muscles. However, it will not treat visceral fat behind your ab muscles.
CON: The day after the first session. I felt a light sensation around the treated area, almost like a slight itch or tingle under my skin. Nothing major at all. By day two or three the sensation passed.
TIPS: Buy two, one-gallon jugs of water. Drink one and one-half the day before and day of the session, prior to the session. Drink the other one and one half gallons following the session and the day after. Use that water in whatever you drink such as tea as well as drinking it directly to know how much water you are drinking.
Buy the Sweet Sweat belt. Do not wear within two days before and after a session.
After the first session try the 14 Day Colon Cleanse, but only do it for up to one week. 1 capsule a night for 3 days. 2 caps a night for 1 or 2 days (keep a toilet handy). 1 cap for 1 additional day. Stop.



I also need to give a shout out to Dr Newman's amazing Esthetician Elicia Guerrero! Over the years she has performed various body treatments (like Velashape) and peels on my face. When I googled velashape and velasmooth I read reviews from people saying how painful this type of treatment is. When I go to Elicia it feels good, almost like a warm massage and again I am happy with my results. I also have to say, she is super cool and goes with your mood. If you want to engage in conversation, she participates and is fun to chat with. If you're feeling quiet or sleepy she lets you relax. She does a great job reading her clients and lets them take the lead (I hope my chatty dental hygienist is reading this) on the social aspect of the visit. She does great work and is clearly talented in her field. I love her!
Windy, Karen and the entire staff are great too!








Appointment staff today is personable and friendly, I really appreciate the time the gal spent with me bouncing back and forth from the Palo Alto and San Mateo schedules, to provide me with the time I requested to ensure I avoid the traffic on my way home from Sacramento.
My office consultation with Dr. Newman was great today. I'm always looking for something to tighten my skin. Doctor provided me with a great plan and I can't wait for my BodyTite procedure in the winter. Due to the compression garment me and 100 degree weather won't be happy. Love the fact that he has a ton of integrity and years of knowledge on cosmetic procedures and a great demeanor. Thank You Dr. Newman for your time today, see you in winter 😀

Friendly and accommodating staff, nice office. Dr. Newman is extremely talented and skillful in his use of various modalities. I had a reduction of upper arm fat and facial contouring with minimally invasive procedures and injections, and could not be happier with the results. Dr. Newman was friendly, down to earth and genuinely interested in helping me look my best. I recommend him heartily.

Dr Newman is very easy going and patient , making for an excellent plastic surgeon
The procedure was less painful than having a shot from my dentist






I went in for a silhouette procedure (mid cheek lift), amazing results and simple recovery.
within 3 days, you'd never know that I had anything done. Zero bruising as I followed his instructions exactly as he and his staff told me too! My girlfriend had a face lift with Dr. Newman last year...the girl looks 10 years younger and she healed beautifully & quite quickly!
Amazing!
I've seen other doctors results and they do not compare to Dr. Newman!
Warm and caring along with his staff!







































Dr. Newman is the only P.S. that I know of having several non-invasive options for face and body that are available instead of surgery.



I highly recommend Dr. Newman - great bedside manner, answers all of your questions patiently and takes his time getting it right.
My friend recommended me to him years ago, and she still sees him for Botox and fillers.



Dr. Newman's staff has always been accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone.



I have found them to be kind, friendly, attentive and caring. I've been to the office two times so far. I had botox (first time ever) with Dr. Newman after seeing what a great job he did on my friend. He was very nice, and at $12 a unit, his price is very reasonable. He doesn't charge a "minimum per area" charge, as some places to in San Francisco. Many places in the city are $14 & $15 a unit, so $12 is a good deal. There is also no office fee charge on top of that. A week after my treatment, there was one area that didn't look so great, so I called Dr. Newman's office and told them about it. They were very accommodating and made room for me to come see that doctor when it was good for me. The doctor said I just needed one more dab of botox in that one place. He added a little more, and didn't even charge me anything for it. As far as I'm concerned, I've received really reasonably priced and good care here.
