“Best facial plastics care in Ca!”
Dr. Newman has been treating me for the past 20 years! I started coming to see him for Thermage after being referred by one of the plastics MD's at Palo Alto Medical Foundation. Dr. Newman is someone I trust implicitly - he will honestly tell me if something I want to do isn't in my best interest which isn't usual in this space. I have continued to see Dr. Newman through job transfers to Chicago and Southern California and would never consider having another person treat me. I am a professional, single woman and looking fresh is important to me! I do not want to look like a middle age woman trying to appear 25. I am confident that I look as good as I feel and am grateful to have Dr. Newman's guidance as I move gracefully through the aging process!

“I love My doctor and his staff!!!”
Dr. Newman is so patient, kind, and helps me to see what "really" needs to be addressed and what is in my head! Dr. Newman offers excellent suggestions and alternatives when appropriate. He wants whats best for my face and not the bottem line.The office staff, Lisa, Wendy, and Elicia are always so warm and friendly.

“Exceptional Experience”
I have had both melanoma and basal cell skin cancers and have had multiple biopsies including on my face. For 20 years I have researched and thought that I had found the best skin care facilities to proactively address these issues. That was until I had a procedure at Premier Plastic Surgery. Dr. Newman, Dee and his entire staff were exceptional before, during and after a procedure that I was very nervous about having. I definitely have the highest confidence in them and will continue to work with them as my skin care needs change.

“great!”
dr. newman listened to my concerns and provided service that addressed my concerns and for which i received a lot of compliments afterwards. i did not feel pushed to try anything i didn't want to and dr. newman was conservative in his application of fillers/botox so it looked natural. dr. newman and his staff are very friendly and pleasant to interact with.
