“Excellent Sculptra Treatment”
I got Sculptra with Dr. Chiu-Collins in May, and the results are incredible. I love how I look! For me, it worked much faster than expected. Dr. C-C knew exactly where/how much to inject to give me the lift/fullness I was looking for. I didn't have any of the negative side effects of Sculptra that I read about, and I believe that was due to Dr. C-C technique. With her background in plastic surgery, I wouldn't trust anyone else to inject in the sensitive areas where Sculptra has its best effects.

“As a severe grinder, having Dr. Chiu-Collins to alleviate the pain in my jaw muscles has been life-changing.”
I am very conservative and calculated when it comes to anything to do with potential changes to my body so I did a ton of research before I found Dr. Chiu-Collins. I loved that the themes I picked up on based on her patient reviews were things like "thoughtful", "smart", and "natural". It's been a year since I met her and I can say that not only do I have less pain in my jaw, but I can also wear my hair up in a pony tail and feel confident about it. I think incredibly highly of Dr. Chiu-Collins.

“If you want to look better without looking "done"”
I've been to Dr. Chiu-Collins several times now, and each time I've been impressed with the amount of time she takes to listen to my concerns and explain the procedures (and their rationales) to me. I also love how natural I look leaving her office. There's hardly any downtime, and people compliment me on how I look without necessarily being able to put their finger on the changes. This woman knows her stuff.

“A true artist and my favorite facial plastic surgeon”
I'm a huge fan of Dr Chiu-Collins. Her bedside manner is something for any provider to aspire to: she's patient, positive, confident, and never ever pushy. Most importantly, she's highly intuitive, and I've always trusted her judgment to be tailored to my own situation and personality. Not to mention her aesthetic eye for balanced, timeless facial beauty which I can especially appreciate coming from a design background myself. If I ever moved from the area I'd travel back to see her -- 100% worth it.

“I am a lucky customer”
I was very lucky to find Dr. Chiu-Collins. She is a true professional, passionate about her work and I know I can trust her my face completely. Dr. Chiu-Collins and her staff are never pushy and always willing to listen, provide a feedback and find a solution that is right for you. I highly recommend this practice!!!

“A subject matter expert I will always refer to!”
I am extremely happy with the mole removal Dr. Chiu did for me. I had a mole removed from within in eye brow and it was done so well the scar is barely visible after a few months!! Dr. Chiu is so precise in her work I am able to retain the shape of my eye brow - I do not have to put on makeup for my eye brows. I also got Sculptra and I am happy with how it lifted my features without looking like I had a major face lift.

“Brilliant about beauty”
I came to Dr. Chiu-Collins with no prior PS experiences. She spent time assessing whether botox for my masseter muscle would be the right decision and helped me understand the impact I could expect. I was overwhelmingly happy with the results and have come to her ever since then. As my needs evolved she's always helped me recognize when I was asking for something that wouldn't make me look better. She has never hesitated to tell me to wait or do less and is an absolute expert about facial PS

“So glad I found Dr. Chiu-Collins”
This MD is a the epitome of the word "expert," with a keen eye for detail.
I have been to many over the years and she is the only one I would trust with my face (or recommend to friends/family.)
More pricey than some, but you are paying for her expertise and you can rest assured that your results will look incredible and natural.

“Best experience!”
Dr. Chiu-Collins did my buccle fat removal surgery and I could not be happier! She listened to what I wanted, is very patient, friendly, and honest. She was available through every step of the surgery. After that I came back to her for a rhinoplasty consult. She was very honest about my expectations and she suggested chin filler to help balance out my features instead and it looks great, I absolutely love it and it made a world of difference in how my face is proportioned. My nose looks way smaller now and I didn't have to go through surgery to do it! She is very detail oriented and knows exactly how to achieve the desired look. Her staff is also great! I highly recommend her for any plastic surgery needs.

“Filler treatment”
After doing extensive research on several websites I chose Dr. Chiu-Collins based on several positive reviews. I was not disappointed. She listened to my concerns and questions I had over having my "tear trough" filled. She gave me suggestions of what we could achieve with the fillers.
I was even lucky enough to get it done the same day!! I could not believe my eyes as she injected one side and showed me the difference between the treated and not treated side. Amazing! She is very talented sculptor with her needle!! I was so happy with the results I am booked to have a mole removed.
I look forward to having more procedures done by Dr. Chiu-Collins.
