Patients frequently visit Dr. Chaffoo for plastic surgery from other states and countries because of his exceptional credentials and impressive surgical outcomes, as well as the fact that the San Diego area has so much to offer its visitors.

After dividing her time between medical and cosmetic dermatology for 20 years, she chose to specialize in aesthetic skin treatments to focus her talents on the type of work she loves most. Her caring, outgoing personality is a wonderful complement to her technical knowledge and abilities.

This private room includes all the comforts of home including Wi-Fi, a flat screen TV, a comfortable recliner, along with gourmet food and beverages. We limit our case load to one hair transplant patient per day to give each one our undivided attention and resources.
