I had a handful of consults with plastic surgeons, and Dr. Vu by far made me feel the most comfortable. He did not try to upsell me on anything or recommend I do this or that. He asked me exactly what my goal and expectations were, and we went from there as he gave me pros and cons to everything I asked about…If youโre looking for an old school doctor with over two decades of experience, then Dr. Vu is your guy.
