Dr. Rad's Care Philosophy
In Washington, DC patients seek subtle, refined and nuanced results to portray themselves to best advantage. My patient's seek to be an improved version of themselves, not to be extremely altered. A perfect surgical result sparks in observers the sub-conscious reaction "this person looks much better but I'm not sure why." I endeavor to achieve this goal for each patient. My consultative time is unhurried, so that you have a clear understanding and expectation. My surgical results are impeccable: patients enjoy long-lasting improvements with minimal, hidden scars and the least down time possible. My care is exceptional: my staff and I provide step-by-step guidance for optimal healing and a smooth recovery. I carefully plan my unique approach for each patient. The artistry of my work is to restore a rested, natural appearance rather than to smooth every wrinkle or change one's identity. Surgery is not a small undertaking, and you'll receive support and care that is unparalleled.

We consulted with three plastic surgeons before choosing Dr. Rad for my 17 year old son's rhinoplasty and chin implant in March 2017. From the first meeting, we felt confident that Dr. Rad is a skilled, experienced and talented surgeon who pays attention to every detail. He is also a super guy - warm, caring, attentive and welcoming. Everything went smoothly and we are extremely happy with the results. We are very pleased with the whole experience and recommend him without hesitation.

I am so grateful I chose Dr. Rad to perform my surgery. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease & comfortable. The office is very clean & creative. He took time to answer all my questions, I didn't feel rushed as I did w/ other surgeons I met. His staff was prompt to respond & very friendly. Post surgery I called over a holiday weekend w/ a question & he called me back quickly. It has been an easy recovery & trust him fully. My scars are fading quick & it's only been 5 weeks! He's the best!

You rarely find a person who is extremely skilled and a perfectionist yet very modest, humble, sympathetic and warm hearted with a pleasant disposition. That is Dr. Rad! I was so fortunate to have found Dr. Rad, one of the very few in the country who can do Diep Flap reconstruction. Not only the reconstruction results are excellent, the pre-surgery and post-surgery care is comforting. He is always there when needed and explains every detail with lot of patience. Thank you, Dr. Rad!

Dr. Rad handled my reconstruction following a double mastectomy due to Stage II breast cancer. From the first consultation he helped to calm my fears and slowly and carefully discussed my options and his recommendations. It was always a pleasure to visit Dr. Rad and his staff, he has a wonderful bedside manner and is very caring and considerate. I am thrilled with my final result.

-Greg in Reedville, VA | May 24, 2017
Dr. Rad is an excellent physician both in technical terms but also in caring and concern. I am a complicated patient because of medical history and because of my size. Dr Rad was able to do a large scale abdominoplasty with liposuction that has restored my ability to function intimately and to be able to excersize with ease.
Considering the over the top charges of most physicians who take insurance, Dr Rad's fee was VERY reasonable.
I am grateful for his skill and the wonderful outcome.

Warrenton, VA | May 01, 2017
While I applaud Dr Rad's heart for breast cancer patients, I must be honest. DIEP Flap surgery was the worst medical decision of my life. I would have been far better off to have just dealt with a bi-lateral mastectomy without reconstruction than to have endured the hell of the past 4 years following the reconstruction.

Dr. Rad is a exceptionally gifted plastic surgeon who is also warm and caring. He took his time explaining the surgical procedure and expected outcomes. I was diagnosed with breast cancer which required a mastectomy. Dr. Rad explained all my options for reconstruction. I chose a DIEP Flap reconstruction.

Dr. Rad is a perfectionist! He pays attention to detail. It has been several years since my breast surgery. Surgery was 13 hours of reconstruction for my breasts. After being diagnosed with breast cancer I chose to have a bi-lateral mastectomy. Dr. Rad was my plastic surgeon. He performed delayed DIEP Flap reconstruction.

Back to Dr. Rad-After having facial surgery with Dr. Rad in 2012, I turned back to him when I had to make the difficult decision to have bi-lateral mastectomies. He carefully explained implant types, expectations, healing time, etc. When I woke up from surgery, he was there holding my hand. Seriously! My new breasts look natural, feel real, and he even gave me ‘nipples’. He is an incredibly kind, compassionate and gifted surgeon. And I have to admit, they actually look better than the originals.

I chose Dr Rad for my abdominoplasty in March 2016. What a great decision! I had suffered abdominal separation during childbirth. I interviewed 5 of the top area surgeons and none examined me longer than 45 seconds. Then Dr Rad spent 45 MINUTES asking health questions, doing a detailed exam and explaining risks and side effects (something many surgeons avoid). I received incredibly thorough and thoughtful care (who calls their patients twice weekly post surgery?) and my results are amazing

Dr. Rad and his team were invaluable to me & my family during a very stressful time when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Dr. Rad made me feel at ease and I knew I was in good hands with my reconstruction decision after my double mastectomy. His expert knowledge in the field of micro surgery was very impressive as he is one of the top surgeons in the area. He has given me back what cancer took from me. Kuddos to his wonderful staff for being kind and always answering my many calls.

I was referred to Dr. Rad for Breast Reconstruction by my Breast Surgeon at INOVA. As I had just been diagnosed with breast cancer, I was overwhelmed with information and decisions to make. Dr. Rad made it easier. His staff very efficiently scheduled my consultation and sent me information on my options. I felt very well-prepared for my consultation. His offices are very state of the art and offer great patient privacy. The results of my breast reconstruction were amazing.

Dr. Rad did my double mastectomy which was fine, apart from an incision that burst open. was very upset when he closed his Fairfax, Va., office w/o. notifying
an established patient (me). I was told when, having made an appt., I called in search of his office, he sees patients in The District now. I felt abandoned. Another plastic surgeon is taking care of me now. Adios Ari.

Dear Carole,
While my primary office did move to a DC location 20 minutes away from Fairfax, my past and current patients have full access to my care. I'm sorry the DC location seems unreachable. I am available to you should you wish follow-up care. I appreciate your feedback and I wish you all the best of health.
Best regards,
Dr. Rad
