He is very meticulous and experienced and I appreciate his attention to all aspects regarding revision surgery. He is knowledgeable about the newest techniques that yield the best results and is definitely the surgeon to choose because he will take as much care of your internal tissues and structures as he does the outside visual piece. This enables long term meaningful results. I appreciate his communication style, as he is very detail oriented, friendly, transparent, trustworthy, and caring.
He is definitely the most thorough plastic surgeon I have ever found, and I am so grateful I found him. Since he does such a remarkable job with revision, I know he would have been the surgeon I wish I had when I started my plastic surgery journey. I know for a fact that he would have taken measures to ensure that everything was always done to the top notch quality from the start. It is very important when it comes to your body.
I cannot say enough positive things about Dr Machado and his team.

Dr. Machado listens, explains the medical situation clearly and pleasantly, and respects the patient while also a delightful defense of humor.

He does an Amazing job. I'm very Thankful that he put my leg and ear back together and they honestly look great, from what they previously looked like, after I got ran over by a vehicle. I give him and his team a 5 star.

He explained more to us about my husbands problem in an hour than the previous provider we had seen did in 3 office visits. We did not feel rushed at all. He explained everything to us , showed exactly what was going and explained our options to get the problem fixed.
