Approachability. In a field clouded by image and hype, Dr. Khalifeh prides himself on interacting with each patient in his practice in a straightforward, respectful and honest manner without being flashy, pushy or arrogant. Though cosmetic procedures are elective, these services remain within the realm of medical treatment. As such, Dr. Khalifeh views himself as a physician foremost. His approachability and ability to educate the patient has won him a loyal following:

"After seeing three other surgeons, I chose your practice due to Dr. Khalifeh's gentle, approachable, and caring personality. I felt extremely comfortable in discussing all my goals and concerns about my breast and tummy surgery, and my husband and I immediately knew that Dr. Khalifeh was the best surgeon for me. It has been now six months since the surgery, and we absolutely love the results. Thank you Dr. Khalifeh" S.F. 2008

Natural looks. a preference for natural beauty has largely replaced an “artificial aesthetic” of past decades. The goal of cosmetic surgery should be to create improvements which look pleasing, but also fit an individual's unique ethnic, cultural, and familial features.

Maximum Safety, Maximum Results, Affordable fees: the decision to undergo plastic surgery involves a multifaceted decision making process for the patient. Dr. Khalifeh prides himself in helping the patient design a "makeover" package that best suites her (or his) goals, physical findings, job requirement, and budget. Dr. Khalifeh believes that in this era, plastic surgery should no longer be viewed as an eccentric hobby of only the famous, but as an elective medical treatment tailored to restore form and function that is essential for meeting the goals of many of his patients in today's active life.
