Michael C Glafkides

Dr. G is very personable, attentive, and realistic. Picking a cosmetic surgeon is not an easy thing to do with all the options out there. Dr. G was informative, truly listened to exactly what I wanted, and he absolutely delivered. I am thrilled with my results. The search ends here. I was lucky to find him. 5 stars all around.

I highly recommend Dr. Glafkides and his wonderful staff. Very caring and supportive. He carries himself with the upmost professionalism. He spent hours with me before we decided on a final decision. Dr. Glafkides is meticulous and provides the instructions you need for the best outcome. I am 100% satisfied with his work.

There are not enough wonderful things to say about Dr. Glafkides and his staff! I am 4 weeks post surgery and already so happy with my results. During my first consultation, Dr. G was extremely welcoming, kind, attentive and professional. He answered all my questions and eased my mind of any concerns. He took extra time to make sure I was comfortable with the surgical plan and also that he had a good understanding of my end goals.

At all of my office visits, my husband and I were warmly welcomed by Melinda, who always made us feel so comfortable and cared for. The office was beautiful, clean and always had a calming vibe. Dr. G was always prompt and I always left my visits feeling supported and confident in my decisions. During the procedure, Dr. G, the anesthesiologist and the entire nursing staff made my experience more smooth and enjoyable than I ever could have imagined. Dr. G would be my number one recommendation to anyone!

Dr. Michael Glafkides was the surgeon who performed my plastic surgery. His bedside manner was exceptional. He was very attentive to my needs and demonstrated he cared about my well being in providing explicit instructions pre surgery & attentive follow up within 24 hours of surgery. In preparation for the surgery, he took the time to address all questions and concerns. Dr. Glafkides models excellent communication skills by being an active listener, speaking clearly without medical jargon and providing a forum where I could ask questions without feeling I was imposing on his time.

I could not be more satisfied with the surgical outcome. His work is meticulous and appears natural. I wish I had done this 10 years ago. His office team is also available and knowledgeable about the surgical plan and were helpful in answering questions related to charges and billing. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Glafkides for plastic surgery.

As I approach near retirement my husband asked me what gift would I like.a fabulous trip?.a new car? No, none of those things. I've always wanted a mommy makeover. As an older woman thinking of plastic surgery I was definitely a little hesitant. Would I even be considered a candidate for such an endeavor? My visit to Dr Glafkides's office alleviated all my fears.

His staff is very welcoming and supportive. His office is lovely and very COVID compliant. My exam was very thorough and all my questions were answered. I never felt rushed or pushed into anything. Dr Glafkides was very patient and professional. I was very relaxed and comfortable. He even talked sports with my husband to keep him relaxed too. My experience at the surgery center couldn't have been nicer.

And my overnight stay in the hotel suite with nurse Tori was like a spa day. All my needs were anticipated and I never felt anxious, afraid, or uncomfortable. My post op care and follow up appointments were impeccable. I was always made to feel special and Miss Melinda, the office manager, was always there to cheer me as all the boxes to my recovery were checked.

She is beautiful and so much fun to talk to. I feel amazing and I look amazing. My husband is very happy and I'm over the moon with my results. Even better than I anticipated. Would I do this again? I'd do it all again tomorrow. Would I recommend Dr Glafkides and his staff. in a heartbeat. Absolutely YES! He is brilliant and his talents are God given! What an awesome amazing experience!

Someone asked if I paid for this surgery because insurance might require a certain amount of tissue to be removed. No insurance did not pay for this. I paid cash for this surgery and he refused to refund me or fix it.

Dr. Glafkides and his assistant Melinda were very helpful and made the process of surgery smooth as possible for me, being diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32 years old was tough, but Dr. Glafkides and Melinda assured me everything would be ok. I had so much anxiety as my surgery date got closer, they made sure everything was less stressful, and gave me tips on how to prepare for surgery and emailed post surgery tips as well.

Which all helped with my healing process. Also, I had a breast reduction surgery and the results were amazing. Dr. Glafkides always made sure I was as comfortable as possible at each appointment. On the morning of my surgery he came in and spoke to me and checked in to make sure I was ok. I highly recommend him for any surgeries especially cancer related breast reconstruction. I feel blessed to have met Dr. Glafkides and Melinda they are genuinely awesome people. Very rare these days.

Dr Glafkides and his team went above and beyond for me during my breast augmentation procedure. After meeting Dr Glafkides and feeling so confident in his skills as a surgeon, I wanted to schedule surgery as soon as possible. I had a consult appointment, a pre-op appointment and then surgery within 5.5 weeks. I came to Dr Glafkides' office with a very strong idea of what I wanted based on the research I had done. Dr Glafkides listened to everything I said and guided me on how to achieve the look that I wanted.

The surgery process was seamless. Dr Glafkides performed my surgery at an impeccable surgery center that has great anesthesiologists and nurses that looked after me. After my surgery, he frequently checked in on me and we had a number of post-op appointments to ensure everything was healing nicely. I am so happy with my results! I highly recommend Dr Glafkides and his team - they are the best.

Dr. Glafkides is hands down one of the best doctors I've ever worked with. He goes above and beyond taking care of his patients and making sure they know the details, and feel confident in their decisions. I've never met a doctor who goes out of their way to check on patients post-op with phone calls and in person visits - truly another level of care!

The surgery results were better than expected and the scarring is so minimal I was shocked to say the least. His staff is wonderful - Melinda is such a sweet person, and the surgery center he works with as well was phenomenal in sending us home with the necessary instructions and guidance for post-op care. Couldn't say enough good things about Dr. G and happy to recommend him to anyone I know!

I am SO happy with my decision in choosing Dr. Mike Glafkides as my doctor for having a double mastectomy with reconstructive surgery. Hardest decision ever to go through such an invasive procedure, but he helped make me feel so comfortable. He answered all of my questions, explained the process step by step, and really took the time in getting to know me as a person, not just his patient. Melinda was the unexpected bonus!

She is so kind and caring! The entire staff at Mills were amazing and took care of me every step of the way! The overnight nurses I had for the double mastectomy were the same nurses I had for the reconstructive surgery - it was really comforting seeing the same faces, as they remembered me! No need to think twice when deciding if Dr. Mike is the best - he genuinely cares for his patients with all his heart.

I am very grateful to Dr. Glafkides and his staff for making me so comfortable in finally deciding to have breast reduction. I dealt with back, shoulder, and neck pain for many years and continued to put off surgery. After my primary doctor referred me to him, my decision was made with ease. Dr. Glafkides is so caring, reassuring, knowledgeable, and he listened to all my concerns and questions.

My husband and I left my first appointment feeling so comfortable placing my surgery in his care. The morning of surgery I felt so relaxed because I had such confidence and faith in him and his staff. I think I even had the best blood pressure reading in a long time! After surgery was completed, he called my husband and son explaining how things went and answered any questions they had, reassuring them everything went very well. Melinda, Dr Glafkides's assistant, the entire office staff at his office, and everyone I dealt with at Mills Surgery Center were wonderful.

They could not have been more helpful and kind. I couldn't be happier with my decision. I feel so much better physically and personally about myself. I appreciate and thank him and everyone who had a role in my surgery experience.

I can only say good things about Dr. Glafkides. I have had surgery previously through another surgeon, can't even compare the two experiences. Dr Glafkides and his assistant, went above and beyond to answer all my questions, they accommodated me with my family's needs, with two little ones I had a lot of concerns. The after care was exceptional and I have never met a doctor who cared more and genuinely spent the time to make me feel at ease and of importance as a patient. I highly recommend Dr Glafkides.

I had such an amazing, life changing experience with Dr. Glafkides. He performed my breast reduction right after Christmas. The minute I sat down with Dr. Glafkides. I felt like I was in the presence of an expert - and an extremely warm and genuine expert. He explained the procedure and made it very clear what the outcome would be and what it would not be.

He showed me before and after pictures of women with similar builds and breast size to mine, so I could visualize the outcome. I left the consult feeling confident that I was ready to have a breast reduction and that Dr. Glafkides was the one I wanted to do it. I became comfortable and motivated to have a breast reduction because of Dr. Glafkides's professionalism, expertise, and genuine bedside manner.

As a woman, my breasts are part of my identity and have always made me feel feminine. One of my fears that kept me from having a reduction is that the outcome would leave me feeling worse than the pain and discomfort I felt from very large breasts. I am so glad that I found Dr. Glafkides because the outcome from the breast reduction is better than anything I could have hoped for. My breasts look and feel amazing, and I feel amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better surgeon.

Dr. Glafkides is phenomenal in every way. He listened to my wants, needs and concerns, responding in a caring and informative manner. His work is also outing standing, creating a beautiful bosom for me (I had bi-lateral cancer provoked mastectomies.) The scars are faint and the shape and size is just right. Close friends who've seen my naked chest are amazed.

I feel like a whole woman again. And throughout the entire process, Dr. Mike was accessible, positive, and compassionate. On a scale of 1-5, Dr. Mike is a 10! P.S. His front office gal Melinda is friendly, helpful and awesome too!

To put it simply, Dr. Glafkides has changed my life. For as long as I can remember, I was unhappy with the appearance of my nose, and I knew I would get rhinoplasty. I had a very large dorsal hump in my nose and the tip was bulbous and slightly droopy. Having wanted to have this procedure done for so long, I was definitely particular about the results I wanted, so it would be fair to say that I did quite a lot of research before choosing a surgeon.

From the first day I met Dr. Glafkides, I knew he was going to be the right surgeon for me. Both he and his staff were welcoming, kind and compassionate and have been there to help every step of the way. From day one, Dr. Glafkides has had my full confidence, and I was not let down. Every expectation I had was exceeded and I am so much happier with my new nose than I ever imagined was possible.

I get to wake up every day and love the way my nose looks, with a newly instilled sense of self confidence and that is entirely thanks to the miracle work that Dr. Glafkides does. One of the things I love the most is that my nose does not look 'done' or 'plastic, ' the results look so natural. There really are not enough words to express how grateful I am to have had Dr. Glafkides do my rhinoplasty.

Thanks to him, I get to have what I feel is truly a perfect nose for me for the rest of my life. If you are also looking into having a cosmetic procedure, especially if it is a rhinoplasty, please do yourself a favor, and make this your first and only stop while on the search for a good cosmetic surgeon!

If I were a headline writer, this post would be called: "Exceptionally Hands-On Care." (Hands. Hand surgery. get it?) Was referred to Dr. Glafkides for evaluation of an annoying trigger finger--Google it if you're into the gory details--a few months ago. Five-star rating reflects the quality of his care, helpfulness of his team, and personal attentiveness.

He insisted on trying all reasonable conservative treatments before resorting to surgery; he was unusually attentive (calling me at home the evening of surgery just to check on me); his staff accommodated my schedule for all pre and post-op visits. Highly recommend this practice for any hand or plastic surgery issue.

My finger looked like blooming flower after I dropped 40 lb dumbbell on it. The bone was shuttered in multiple places and the top phalange was split into two parts. The ER doctor told me that I will possibly lose the top of my finger. They were preparing me for anesthesia and possible amputation. It all changed after Dr. Glafkides arrived. From the first contact, I felt like it all going to be fine.

He was confident, polite and brought a bit of humor to reduce stress. He immediately started working on my finger. After some magic was done, I was able to go home with my finger in heavy dressing, but still in its place. Healing was not easy, but Dr. Glafkides and his excellent office staff were there for me all the way. I had to have several more visits to his office.

We had to do additional surgeries and procedures. I learned how to do dressing changes and promote healing. It's now two months since the accident, my finger is almost back to be functional. It was great to work with Dr. Glafkides and his staff. His work is swift and precise. He understands the patient emotional state and manages it perfectly.

His staff was very accommodative. The scheduling was precise, so I never had to wait. Unlike many other offices, they mastered the "secret art" of email and I was able to send pictures of healing in progress to get the course adjustments. I hope that everybody, who reads this, would never need reconstructive surgery. Yet, if you ever need it, you better call Dr. Glafkides.

From the first contact with Dr. Glafkides' office, my experience has been positive. Gigi and Melinda are professional but friendly. They mirror these same qualities in Dr. Glafkides. I found him to be approachable and thorough in our initial discussion and, in contrast to other surgeons I interviewed, focused on MY goals. On the day of surgery, I met the anesthesiologist who has worked with Dr. Glafkides for many years.

I was very favorably impressed by her credentials, the time she spent with me discussing the procedure and her genuine warmth. I was able to go home after the surgery under the care of a nurse recommended by Dr. Glafkides. Being able to recover at home in familiar surrounds was a huge positive. Dr. Glafkides came to my home the following morning to check on my condition.

I felt that the care and concern he evinced were extraordinary. I have had two follow-up office visits so far and am pleased with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Glafkides. His skill as a surgeon is an integral part of the comprehensive care he provides.

I went in to see Dr. Glafkides to get a small lump on my back checked out and he knew right away what it was and was able to take it out within that same appointment in 20 minutes or less. The overall experience was fantastic. The stitches are so small and are very hard to see which is great. He truly cares about his patients and it shows in his work and in his dedication to his practice that he wants to make sure you have the best experience possible. Definitely recommend going to him!

I have a history of skin cancer and had a bump on my forehead that required a biopsy. I'm not a big fan of needles but Dr. Glafkides was very gentle and made me feel at ease. His front office manager was also very friendly and welcoming on the phone and in person. The whole experience was positive and I would highly recommend this doctor for any procedure that you need. You can see that he cares about his patiences.

Dr. Glafkides is truly fantastic - he works miracles! I got a huge gash on my forehead that required about 40 stitches. I was worried I'd have a frankenstein-like scar on my face, so on the way to the ER, my radiologist friend hooked me up with Dr. Glafkides. Dr. Glafkides came to the ER and did all the stitching and after-care. He was extremely careful, thorough and reassuring, and gave me very detailed instructions for how to minimize potential scarring.

His work was so good that most people can't even see the faint little line on my forehead! Given that the gash went from my eyebrow almost all the way up to my hairline, it's amazing that it didn't turn into a nasty scar. Dr. Glafkides is a miracle-worker. He's also a really nice guy who truly cares about his patients.

Dr. Glafkides is an excellent doctor and surgeon. I highly recommend him for anyone that wants a skilled doctor, that's an artisan and who really takes great pride in his work. He is warm and engaging and it's nice to feel like you are in the best of hands. I am very pleased with my results and he is my first choice for anything I want or need done.

My 9 year old took a bad fall while ice skating which resulted in a visit to the emergency room at Mills Peninsula in Burlingame. Dr. Argand (ER doctor) took one look at the laceration on her chin and determined that she needed to be seen by a plastic surgeon. Dr. Glafkides came to see my daughter. Did a quick assessment of her injury and got right down to business.

Like another reviewer had mentioned, his calm, friendly, and comforting mannerism put both me and my daughter at ease. He stitched her up with great efficiency and precision. I am very hopeful that she will heal just fine with minimum scarring. We have a follow-up with Dr. Glafkides in a week and my daughter can't wait to thank him in person as she was too traumatized to speak in the ER (chuckle).

Thank you Dr. Glafkides and thank you Dr. Argand for having my daughter's best interest at heart and recommended Dr. Glafkides. ps.my daughter will be back on the ice next week!

My wife saw Dr. Glafkides for a breast reduction. He was terrific in all aspects and she is more than pleased with the results. His work is excellent. Beyond that, though, he communicates well and really cares about his patients. He has a calm, friendly, and comforting bedside manner and my wife was very relaxed throughout the entire process. His communication with me (the husband) was also great.

He kept me appraised of her status post-op and included me in the follow up. The doctor and his staff took care of all the documentation and application needed to successfully receive coverage from the insurance company. I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Glafkides. He's really a wonderful doctor and we would certainly use him again.

I was highly recommended by my physician, Dr. Damon Lee, to see Dr. Glafkides for surgical removal of something I've had since I was a baby. (procrastination is a jerk.) Considering I've had this small lump all of my life, I was very nervous and picky when it came to choosing a Dr. Even though Dr. Glafkides was not on my list-of-providers under my insurance, he said he would contact my insurance and make sure I was taken care of.

And that he did. I had to have my surgery at the Campus Surgery Center in Daly City (Rm 200) as he required a larger facility for the procedure. (see review of the center for details :P) As nerve-wracking as it seemed, he was always calm and answered any/all my questions. After the surgery, the nurses and other medical professionals (for lack of knowledge.of their titles.) in the room praised him for his precise, clean, and professional work.

I saw him for a check up a few days ago and he said I'm healing quickly. His assistant, Karen, is very friendly and helpful. She contacted me periodically to update me on my insurance status and to schedule follow-up appointments. The office is located near Tanforan Mall so if you're like me and carless, you can take Bart to San Bruno and walk through the mall and a few (kinda big) blocks to the office. It's not too bad.

The best part is.there's never a long wait to be seen! :) I highly recommend Dr. Glafkides. Considering I could have seen a Dermatologist, I chose Dr. Glafkides because he was much more sensitive and keen on physical aesthetics. (does that make sense? :P) He's a plastic surgeon so he'll make sure you don't look ridiculous. No one could tell I had surgery the days following. He truly is amazing at what he does. Thank you so much for taking care of me through this nerve-wracking process!
