Chrissy Elliott

Dr. Zakhireh is a gifted surgeon. He made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire rhinoplasty surgery. I’m a 30 year ol African American woman, and did a lot of research for various doctors in the area and decided to settle in this place. I’m glad to report that I didn’t “settle”. I’m very pleased with the attention to detail, honesty and the help / bedside manner of the doctor. I was so nervous to get any work done but the doctors were able to put my nerves at ease and I’m really happy with how things have turned out!

Excellent I highly recommend this place! since my first visit for my free consultation I knew this was the place, the friendly staff made me feel so comfortable, Dr Kakhireh was very proffesional and he was very good explaining me the process, what i loved from this place was that they don't push you to do any procedure, they let you think about it and when you feel ready you can say yes! the surgery was perfect, the nurses and anesthesiologist were amazing! surgery was at 8 am by 10:30 i was home! Thank you Dr Mo, and all the staff!

Ethel Viruena

My entire experience here with dr. Mo Zakhireh was great. I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. I think he exceeded my expectations. I have always been very scared to have any type of cosmetic work done but this place was pretty clean, the front desk was nice and the doctor seemed to know his stuff.

Jessenia Walzl

I came to CSIPD only for a consultation on a nose job (rhinoplasty). The ladies at the front were all very nice. My appointment was set for 11am, and they had me in the backroom pretty quick. My first impression of the place was that the office was really clean, looked nice. I’m glad to see that they didn’t overbook. I haven’t had any work done here yet, but was considering it. If I get anything done but if I do ill update based on the outcome of the procedure.

Anita R. Rahman

Had reconstructive surgery done here by Dr. Zakhireh. I’m very happy with his work and feel he’s a very gifted surgeon. I saw the doctor two times prior to my surgery, and everyone from the doctor to the gals up front were all very nice.

Nicole Miller
