“I’ve consulted with several plastic surgeons, but Face Forward is really unique and holds a special place in my heart. The entire team, from the PCC and practice admin to the surgical assistant and Dr. Rodman herself, has been incredibly kind and easy to work with. What stood out to me was that they aren’t afraid to tell you “no” when something isn’t aligned with your goals. But they also aren’t afraid to take care of you when you need them.And I think that leads into a broader point. No matter how you color it, plastic surgery is a big commitment, and I think anyone considering it should budget not only for the procedure, but also for the possibility of follow up care and the realities of recovery. F/F has been worth every single penny, and I’d gladly spend more, simply because the team has remained actively present and involved after surgery, not just before it.”
“My experience with Dr Rodman and her staff has been amazing from the very beginning. I have done extensive research to find a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to help me. Two months ago, I decided to send out an online contact form to Dr Regina Rodman, a double board-certified facial plastic and craniofacial surgeon to inquire about a lip lift, a procedure I had been considering for several years. Within two days, Leslie from Dr Rodman’s office called me. She was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Leslie graciously answered all of my questions and scheduled my initial consultation with Dr Rodman for the following week. I am beyond thankful that I chose Dr. Rodman! Each member of her staff has been lovely to deal with. Dr. Rodman has a wonderful bedside manner, and I felt very comfortable trusting her to work on my face. I was fortunate to be able to schedule my surgery the week after my consultation. My surgery was done under local anesthesia with mild sedation. During my surgery, my vital signs were continually monitored. The operating room team frequently checked on my comfort and informed me exactly what was happening. The operating room staff’s conversations with each other were always professional and related to the task at hand. I felt confident that Dr Rodman was giving me the beautiful lip lift that I had been wanting! My lip lift is now seven weeks out and looks amazing! I am SOOO glad I had this done with Dr. Rodman. I would highly recommend Dr. Regina Rodman to anyone interested in facial plastic or craniofacial surgery.”
“After doing a lot of research I finally settled on Dr.Regina Rodman for my surgery to remove an unsightly osteoma on my forehead and at the same time to do a gentle brow lift. At my consultation with her I immediately felt supported, given detailed information about how this surgery is done, if there were any issues that might arise (very negligible) and she never rushed through the appointment which was very important for me. Her entire office staff is absolutely wonderful. They responded as quickly as possible to any questions I emailed them. Surgery was a complete success and I am very pleased with the outcome. Post surgical appointments were always very helpful, never rushed, every question answered and I was made to feel that my care was important to them. I would definitely recommend Dr Rodman without any hesitation.”
“The Face Forward team was so nice and accommodating! They listened to my concerns, created a treatment plan customized for me and the results I looked for. They really care for you pre and postoperative your procedure and make sure you feel comfortable, safe, and secure. As to Dr. Rodman, she is truly an artist! She listens to exactly what you want and don’t want and delivers those results. Sonia (their LSA), took care of me every step of the way, she went above and beyond making sure I healed well and as comfortable as possible. She has such a joyful presence, we talked for hours. Every time I walked in to the office, I felt so welcomed and was greeted with a big smile by Natalie and the rest of the staff. I have nothing but positive things to say about Face Forward!”
“Dr. Rodman is a double board certified plastic surgeon specializing from the neck up. She take time to educate her patients and followers, explaining the HOW and the WHY behind each procedure. She is highly respected among her peers for her techniques that are both innovative and refined. Her attention to detail is outstanding producing great results. Her comprehensive approach to pre and post surgery care is impressive. She offers customized skincare products and provides a hyperbaric chamber to support healing. Equally noteworthy is her team. They are friendly, attentive and compassionate making patients feel comfortable and supported. Follow-up care is excellent which reflects a commitment to patient outcome and recovery. Her clientele comes from around the world. It’s easy to understand why after experiencing her work and commitment to deliver exceptional results with integrity and care. I am eternally grateful to Dr Regina Rodman and her team. Thank you for being so fabulous! CN May ,2026”
