Thanks for being part of our community and sharing your experience! This helps so many people who are also considering a procedure. We appreciate it!
5 stars for a balanced and honest platform
I have given a 4 star rating to RealSelf for the reason that this site ‘seems’ to express the communication of genuine people and not from deceptive advertisers and their creative writers.
The site allows for reality to be shown, risks posed, mental health consequence possibilities and photographic depictions to establish facts.
The site is a highly recommended site, in my opinion, for those needing a wholistic comprehension and reality check, when considering cosmetic treatment and surgery as well becoming more familiar with cosmetic surgery and its potentialities.

Thanks for the kind words! Authentic consumer stories are the bedrock of our site, and we’re so glad to hear they were helpful to you.

You would not accept my phone number to validate my account. And the message that I might be a physician's office gaming the system was offensive.
It took two and a half days or more to post my honest review for someone who I thought did a very good job.
Next, I was told that I could not review a stellar skincare professional in tucson because she was a physician's assistant.
She is better than any physician and believe me, I have taught hundreds.
So the fact that your site only allows MDS to be rated and not everyone who does an excellent job, perhaps a much better job than any physician in the state, is also offensive.
Please remember that an MD is only a professional degree....Just like a PA.
Unless you're providers have a PhD, they really don't matter that much.

Hello, and thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand there may be some confusion, and we’re happy to help clarify!
To keep our community unbiased and transparent, reviews from employees of a practice aren’t allowed. This is an important part of maintaining trust on our platform. We’re sorry if this item in our Community Guidelines felt personal to you.
You’re also welcome to review any provider, even if they’re not an MD. If they have a profile, just click the “Start a review” button on their profile page. If they don’t, you can still write in their name on the review form in the box labeled "Provider." All reviews - whether for MDs or other qualified providers - are valuable to our community.
We're thrilled to see you were able to post a review of your provider on July 2nd, but if you run into any other issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at contactus@realself.com. We’re here to help!

RealSelf is a must-use tool for anyone considering cosmetic procedures
I found RealSelf incredibly helpful while researching cosmetic procedures. It’s like having a community of thousands of people who’ve “been there” and are willing to share real, honest experiences—both the good and the not-so-good.
The before-and-after photos, Q&A with doctors, and patient reviews gave me a much clearer understanding of what to expect. It helped me feel more informed, empowered, and realistic about results and recovery. I also appreciated being able to compare different providers in my area and read verified reviews to help narrow down my options.
Whether you're just curious or seriously planning a procedure, RealSelf is a valuable resource to educate yourself, ask questions, and make more confident decisions. Highly recommend!

Will not let you unsubscribe!
After doing one review, I received numerous unsolicited emails. Each time, I Unsubscribed, yet continued receiving many emails from them each week.
I've now had to filter their still-ongoing emails, sending them all into the Trash, where they belong.

Not a trustworthy site
Avoid signing up for marketing with this company. Not only is it expensive but it does little to enhance your business except drain your wallet. Worse yet, if you discontinue their service, they are completely unhelpful at removing malicious, false reviews. You cannot even respond to the review unless you restart a profile with them!! Patients should not trust a site where false reviews are allowed and doctors shouldn’t either as money is more important than reputation to this company. So, as you can see from their response, they leave completely false reviews on their site so anyone can say anything about a doctor to destroy their reputation with impunity. Other sites have removed the malicious review but RealSelf offered assistance by having an account manager contact me by email in order to sign back up.

Hello Dr. DuPont - Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're disappointed. To protect your privacy, we won’t discuss account specifics publicly. Please reach out to our support team at providersupport@realself.com so we can review key metrics like impressions, CTR, and conversions together.
As we’ve previously shared via email, reviews on RealSelf cannot be removed by providers. This policy helps ensure the platform remains unbiased and that patients’ voices are heard. We responded to your emails in March and May requesting additional details, but didn’t receive a reply. (Occasionally our messages land in spam folders, so please check there as well.)
Finally, if you’re unable to identify a patient based on their review, you can contact the reviewer directly by clicking on their profile and clicking “Message.” This feature is available to all providers, not just those who pay for advertising.
We hope to hear from you soon so we can address your concerns more thoroughly.

I used Realself whilst researching my requirements for surgery for two years. They are a very trustworthy source as I realised completely after adding on my own review after surgery. I would 100% recommend anyone seeking help to use them.

Useful but not easy to navigate for information
I find the site has useful information and reviews but it is not easily navigable, my review was buried under an obscure heading. Not sure that I will bother doing another if no one will see it, similarly, finding recent relevant articles and reviews on other services is challenging.

Mini facelift and neck lift
Dr. Campbell and his staff genuinely care about their patients and their outcome. I had consultations with a few other doctors but after meeting Dr. Campbell I knew he was the best choice for what I wanted to have done. He’s an expert with facial procedures and has over 20 years of experience. Also, I didn’t need to be put under anesthesia!! The technique he created allows for that. I’m not quite a month out but the healing is going well. Looking forward to my 2 month follow up.

I am a provider
I am a provider. I signed up for a 6 month term. Within a short time any email I sent to the reps bounced. The review link provided didn't work. (after I finally found a way to contact the billing department last week it "miraculously was working and I got a review.) They auto billed me for another 6 months and refuse to remove the charge even though I cant even access the page to add to my profile.
