“I had a great experience with Chegar Plastic Surgery. I had two moles removed from my face and was pretty nervous going into it. I don’t even like going to the dentist, so having something done on my face definitely had me anxious. The entire process was quick, simple, and affordable. Everyone was great to work with and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. Franci did an amazing job and made the whole experience so much easier than I expected. Also, Kathleen Hook is the best! I was in and out before I knew it. I would absolutely recommend Chegar Plastic Surgery to anyone considering a procedure.”
“I am so impressed with the results I’m already seeing from my series of Sculptra injections! Chasity Wolf was incredible throughout the entire process. She was very thorough in explaining exactly what to expect and the long-term benefits of this procedure, which made me feel completely at ease. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable and skilled, I highly recommend Chasity!”
“Dr Chegar is a person and physician of the finest kind. I am grateful my dermatologist referred me in 2012 and there is no one else I need for the level of excellence he has provided for my ENT, appearance and aesthetic needs. He recently completed a septoplasty and face lift, and I am delighted with the results. The entire process was seamless thanks to the skill and personal touch of the entire team at the practice. Whether consultation, scheduling, insurance, post-surgery support, or skin care, my expectations at every level have been exceeded. They are a professional and compassionate group that work very well together. I have been blessed to have Grace completely educate me on the best skin care practices and products available, which were a follow up from my face lift that are now an important part of my routine. She is passionate and extremely knowledgeable about the entire process, along with a skilled touch with the procedures she has done on my face. Her enthusiasm for wellness and health have inspired me to abandon my old "practices" entirely! My experience has been people compliment me on how great I look at 65, but there's nothing that jumps out at them specifically. This is a testament to Dr Chegar's vision and surgical skill practically applied with a natural aesthetic that is timeless. Equally important are the means to maintain this through Grace's guidance. Thank you!”
“Grace and all the staff at Chegar are wonderful. Grace takes the best care of my brows and has my skin glowing! The CIT microneedling treatments have completely transformed my skin, leaving it smoother, brighter, and more even. She's professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about her clients. Highly recommend!”
“Coming to Chegar was one of the greatest decisions I’ve made. Grace has been absolutely incredible addressing my skin concerns and knowing exactly what I need in treatment. I’ve done multiple CIT treatments with her for acne scarring- during each treatment she always checks in with me throughout ensuring I’m comfortable and informing me of the entire process. The results have been better than I could have ever hoped for and I plan on continuing seeing her for treatment at Chegar moving forward! Grace is truly, truly amazing at what she does.”
