My experience at STC was amazing! The nurses and administrators were extremely helpful in answering questions and accomodating my appointments. Dr. Machida is very experienced, and did an amazing job! In 2 weeks I was almost back to normal and my face and neck look extraordinary! I highly recomend him.

It's a bummer Google mobile app doesn't show how/where to upload images. I got blepharoplasty, and results were quite good, but after 100% healed, one eye had slight more fat than other side. Dr. Machida and team scheduled me for follow up and we're quite welcoming in post procedure. Are are now 100% equal. This isn't a reflection of Dr. Machida getting it right/wrong on 1st procedure. Rather eyes are all different and no two eyes (not even on same person) have same identical procedure. Eyes are every bit as good as I had hoped for. Thank you to Dr. and his professional team.

This was an amazing experience. I'm only sorry I delayed so long. Very minimal discomfort. My friends and family are amazed as well. The cost was very reasinable and this deep plane facelift clearly took 10 years of sun abuse off my face and neck. I will soon be 75 and highly recommend Dr. Machida.

Thank you, Dr Machida. You are absolutely fabulous. So grateful that we found you. Your magic touch gave me a brand new me. Totally happy with the deep plane procedure You also have the bestest staff ( Bertha, Norma, Sharon). Super great!
