I trust Dr. Shastri with my care and I know he is extremely good at what he does. In my case, I've seen him multiple times as a result of MOHS surgery on my face to remove skin cancer. It's critical to be able to trust your doctor when these wounds are on your face and minimal scarring is the ultimate goal.

I still remember the encounter I had with his former employee where she saw first hand before and after results and what an impact it made on her. She said I deserved to get a second opinion and I also believe that to be true. She shared how he continues to learn through conferences, the latest information available in his field. I believe he equips himself with the latest technology and knowledge to perform his plastic surgery skills better than others.

I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Shastri! He is very professional and an outstanding ENT/ PLASTIC SURGEON! It has only been 1 week after my upper/lower bepharoplasty and Septo/rhinoplasty. I had no pain and only had minimal brusing on top of it you can't even notice any scars. HE IS THE BEST ENT/PLASTIC SURGEON!
