I had a breast augmentation done 4 days ago by Dr. Zemmel and all I can say is WOW. From his bedside manner, to his PA and nurses, to front desk staff, I've never felt so welcomed at an office before. I have a very bubbly personality and wanted this for so long and no one made me feel like I was being annoying or being too excited about my breast augmentation.
They answered every question and concern thoroughly and made me feel confident in the decision I was making. Dr. Zemmel picked the perfect size for my body and assured me that my results would be stunning and boy was he right! My breasts have never looked better, the healing process has been phenomenal with minimal pain/uncomfortableness. I've recommended everyone to come and see Dr. Zemmel and his staff. They've completely changed my confidence level

Dr. Karishma Reddy recently performed an arm lift on me after massive weight loss over the last seven years. During my time with her, I've come to know her as an intelligent, skilled, and personable plastic surgeon. It can be tough to find a surgical provider who is good at what they do and able to make you feel like they genuinely care and want the best for you. Dr. Reddy did all of this, and it honestly made the experience from consult through post-surgery care easier.
She was always reassuring and knowledgeable. I am so glad to have found her during this time of significant transition. I had a massive amount of skin that needed to be removed, and she did an excellent job reshaping my arm to "match" my overall shape. It takes knowledge and intuition to know how much skin to take away so the result is not still too big or disproportionately small.
In addition, I am impressed with her ability to have made my incisions extremely thin and well hidden. Overall, I am thrilled with my experience with Dr. Reddy and the team at Richmond Aesthetic Surgery. I have a few more procedures that will be performed later this year, and I am at ease knowing I will be in the best hands. womeninsurgery. diversityinmedicine. diverstyinclusion.

At 35 I didn't expect to need a double mastectomy, but I did. I "shopped around" and had consults with multiple plastic surgeons for reconstruction. I decided on Dr. Z and his team and I wouldn't change a thing. The staff are welcoming, comforting, understanding, and just plain amazing. Dr. Z was there for me every step of the way for all 856 questions and never brushed me off. If I ever need any other procedures, I'll be going back no question.

About a month ago now, Dr. Reddy performed my breast reduction surgery. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had Dr. Reddy as my doctor for this life changing decision. While I had been dreaming of doing this for myself for years, I was definitely nervous to finally be doing it. Dr. Reddy was a constant source of information and confidence. She and her team were so easy to talk to that I was able to voice any concerns without fear and have a laugh while doing so.
I always knew that they had my best interest at heart. Now that I'm a month out from my surgery, I'm healing amazingly and I'm beyond happy with my results. I finally feel like myself and it's all thanks to Dr. Reddy and her team.

I am a physician so I know the importance of finding the right doctor and boy did I hit the jackpot with Dr. Karishma Reddy. She is nothing short of amazing. Some of the BEST work I have seen - trust me! I had a breast reduction and her work is impeccable, her bedside manner is wonderful and all of my visits before and after the surgery were very informative and reassuring.
I went from being ashamed of my large breasts and having back and neck pain to now having so much more confidence and less pain! Dr. Reddy, Dr. Zemmel and the entire team have been so amazing and I would recommend them hands down over and over again! Thank you!

I had a bilateral breast reduction with Dr. Reddy and can honestly say that it was the best experience I've had with a doctor. Going from an F to a D was life changing, and recovery was very smooth thanks to Dr. Reddy and staff's expertise. Every concern I had pre and post op was addressed by the team, and I went into surgery with complete confidence in my doctor.
I cannot recommend Dr. Reddy enough. By day 6 I was pain free and off medication, and the capability of Nurse Sarah at the office made drain removal a completely painless experience. I now have the freedom to move, feel comfortable in my body for the first time in my life, and I know that the positive impacts from this surgery will only continue as I heal. Thank you, Dr. Reddy!

I wish Dr Reddy could be my doctor for everything! She was such an amazing doctor - from the first consultation, through surgery, and follow up appointments - she consistently delivers the best outcomes while being attentive, caring, friendly, and present with her patients. I am beyond thrilled with the surgery results, and even happier with my experiences throughout.
She has such a calming and confident demeanor that put me at ease through every stage. You really feel like partners in your outcomes - which is a very different feeling and wonderful change from most other doctors I have run across. If you have ever considered, but perhaps are hesitant about a surgical solution, please consider a consultation with Dr Reddy. She truly is a life changer in the best way possible.

I got top surgery (bilateral double mastectomy) done by Dr. Reddy 4 weeks ago. As soon as I met with her at the consultation, I had a good feeling about having her perform my surgery. All the staff is incredibly nice and helpful as well! After having some bad experiences meeting with other surgeons prior, she made me feel comfortable and relieved.
She was knowledgeable, respectful, non-judgemental, and reassuring throughout this whole process. I had a complication initially but she was so quick to correct and made sure I was well taken care of. Now I'm healing beautifully and my results are better than I could've imagined. Gender affirming procedures are so important and life changing for trans people so finding a surgeon that was able to ease my anxiety and treat me like a human being with care and compassion was crucial and she did that!

I had FTM top surgery done by Dr. Reddy. Although she didn't have a portfolio available specific to the procedure I was having done, She had the confidence to ensure me with the best possible results. I took the leap of faith and I must say I am ecstatic with the way my chest has turned out! She was respectful, knowledgeable, professional and had the availablity to get my procedure done in a time frame that worked best for me.
She is extremely talented, and her work is impeccable. Dr. Reddy was very personable and took the time to get to know me and my fiance with each appointment we attended. She did an amazing job making me feel like that was exactly where I was supposed to be. She has by far exceeded my expectations! The staff is also super friendly and welcoming as well! 10 out of 10 will recommend RAS and Dr. Reddy to everyone I know looking to have any type of procedure done in the future!

I had top surgery with Dr. Reddy about 4 weeks ago. I was incredibly anxious and felt like I had a million and one questions. As a non-binary person I needed someone to help me find the chest right for me. She did this and so much more! Dr. Reddy was kind, playful, and gave me the space to ask all my anxious ridden questions without judgement. Throughout the process she has been an incredible human to me and my partner - answering our questions and playing along with our lame jokes along the way.
I am settling into my new body and I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Reddy is an amazing person who has changed my life in a way it will take me months to realize. If you have any doubts go to Dr. Reddy - you won't be disappointed.

I got a breast reduction done with Dr. Reddy. As someone who is a Woman of Color, I was very comfortable with Dr. Reddy. She was really understanding when I was nervous about the procedure. She is very caring for her patients and is always just as excited for you as you are for yourself. I'm glad she did my surgery as she is one of the nicest doctors I have ever met.
The hospital staff was also very excellent! The nurses treated me like I was there own as I'm on the younger side of people who get breast reduction. Overall, I wish this place had 10 stars instead of 5. Dr. Reddy deserves WAY more than 5 stars! She deserves the whole galaxy! Thank you Dr. Reddy for helping me love my body again:

I recently had the opportunity, and ultimate blessing, to be a patient of Dr. Karishma Reddy at Richmond Aesthetic Surgery. I presented her with what turned out to be a challenging surgery. From my very first consultation appointment, every subsequent appointment up to and through surgery and post-surgical visits, she was kind and encouraging, always listened to (and remembered!) whatever I had to say, clearly explained options and outcomes, always offered her time and patience to me.
She is professional, skillful, confident, and honest - and has the absolute best bedside manner of any doctor I've ever met. I would not hesitate to have her do any surgical procedure on me again! She provided a completely positive doctor/patient experience. And in fact, the entire practice of Richmond Aesthetic Surgery is top-notch at friendliness, competency, and skill. Dr. Zemmel has created a comfortable, respectful, "you matter" experience from beginning to end! From Gail Fulgham
