My time with Dr. Roy and the RefinedMD crew has been incredible. I’m sharing this because I was terrified before surgery, unsure if I’d picked the right surgeon, so I'm hoping this will help someone who is feeling that way. Social media makes it hard to distinguish between a 'famous' surgeon and a truly skilled one. I found Dr. Roy on a random Facebook find. Despite that random start, I felt immediately comfortable with him during my first consultation. He understood my goals immediately and he explained the process and expectations clearly. Still, I worried if "comfortable" meant "the best," but after two other consultations, no one else compared. He didn't upsell me on a lip lift, full face lift or upper eye blepharoplasty, which I appreciated. So we agreed on a neck, lower face, and brow lift. For context: I’m 55 and felt my neck looked 70, even though my face passed for early 40s (I was told ;-)). I felt like I didn't need a lot of work on my face. Hence, I was scared of looking "overdone" or worse than before. Dr. Roy is incredibly skillful - I am stunned by the results. My husband even says I look younger than on our wedding day 17 years ago! The result is so natural. I just look like my old self. The team (including Christine & Alex) is genuinely kind—not just "customer service" nice. Beyond his skill, the care was personal. Dr. Roy gave us his personal cell number and responded instantly during those first few days after surgery when my husband reached out to him with concerns/questions. My advice? Follow every pre & post-op instruction. They aren't optional. The first few days are tough, and you definitely need help, but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Dr. Roy is a top-tier surgeon who doesn't need a Beverly Hills office or flashy marketing to prove it. Don't be fooled by follower counts and constant postings by other doctors that just lead to price gouging. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon, look no further than Dr. Roy.

Dr. Roy and his whole team were amazing. I have never had any type of facial surgery before but Dr. Roy explained my options and listened to my questions and concerns. My results were fantastic! Completely fitting with my desires to look natural and refreshed. My follow up care was remarkable as well. At all my appointments Dr. Roy and the other nurses were so helpful and I was impressed with their interest and encouragement as I hit all of my little healing milestones. I feel so lucky that I found Refined MD…I will continue my relationship with them because of the outstanding quality of service with a very compassionate staff. Shout out to McKenna, Alex Christine, Giti who helped me so much with my pre and post surgery care. I am thrilled with my results and feel that the investment to my health and happiness was more than worthwhile. Thanks again to Dr Roy and for Refined MD!

Dr Roy is AMAZING!!!!! I have extreme medical anxiety but have always wanted a blepharoplasty specifically a trifecta lift. and he made me feel so comfortable during the process. My results are ....incredible. Keep in mind I got a trifecta lift and also decided to get full face Co2 laser as well. The best money I have ever spent. I live in BEVERLY HILLS and I traveled to the Bay Area to see Dr Roy because after seeing his work online and having a consult with him I knew he would do an amazing job. LA GIRLS HEAD TO THE BAY!!! He's so much better than any LA surgeon, I'm telling you. I will post a before and after no makeup and then also a selfie 4 weeks post op w makeup. I would trust this man w my life.

I had a lower blepharoplasty in December with Dr. Roy, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience and results. From the very first consultation, he made me feel comfortable, heard, and completely at ease. He has such a calm and reassuring bedside manner, which made a BIG difference going into surgery. His entire team was just as amazing, professional, kind, and attentive every step of the way. I felt well taken care of. Most importantly, my results look so natural! I feel brighter, more feminine, and comfortable in my skin. This procedure truly boosted my confidence. I’m so happy I chose Dr. Roy!! I am beyond grateful to him and his entire team. I wholeheartedly recommend getting surgery with Dr. Roy. He listens, he reassures, and you can genuinely feel how much he cares about his patients and their results. I never once felt rushed or unsure. I felt confident and calm every step of the way.

I have been seeing Alice Hwang at Refined Dermatology for years, and she is truly exceptional. She is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled Nurse Aesthetician who always prioritizes safety, results, and long-term skin health. What I appreciate most is her integrity. Alice is thoughtful and cautious, and she only recommends treatments that are appropriate and effective. I have never once felt pressured into anything — she genuinely cares about what is best for her clients rather than pushing procedures to make a sale. She takes the time to explain every treatment clearly and makes you feel completely comfortable and confident in your decisions. My husband Cameron also sees her, and we both fully trust her expertise. Beyond her professionalism, she is kind, warm, and such a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for someone at Refined Dermatology who combines medical-level expertise with honesty and heart, Alice Hwang is the absolute best. **I wanted to add (how can I forget!) each and every member of RefinedMD Staff are amazing, super friendly, knowledgeable and professional.**
