Harry Mittelman MD

I’m about ready to go back for a consultation for a different procedure but I would recommend Dr Mittelman to anyone! I am very confused by the person who had a bad experience with their upper eyelids because I have never seen anyone with more perfect ones than mine. The incision was right where my eyelid fold is and there has never ever been a scar of any type you would never know I had the surgery! They said in about nine years I might need to get (upper & lower) redone and it has been several years past that and I still look way better than I did before the surgery! I saw the work of another doctor in San Mateo and they were «still swollen» two months later and looked like they had never had surgery done– I felt terrible for this woman. Within 10 days I was back to work with the most perfect natural eyes. Even my supervisor said she didn’t know what I had been doing but I looked the best she has ever seen me. I looked a lot more youthful and as another person wrote I too am a flight attendant and also worried about public appearance. I was originally referred by another flight attendant and many of us have gone to Dr Mittelman and all thrilled with our results. I would not look into going anywhere else– thank you Harry. J E

I highly recommend Dr. Mittelman, his staff, and the expertise of his practice. Many years ago, I went to him asking to look refreshed but not to look years younger, as I thought that it would spell out I had «work done.» Nevertheless, he gave me both, making me look so natural that close friends would complement me on how I look, but never surmised I had cosmetic surgery. Since, I occasionally have Botox and fillers. Terry Silverman does these for me. My last visit was 20 months ago and just recently, I looked in the mirror and thought, I need a refresher. She is such an amazing woman, competent, authentic, artistic, great sense of humor, and sincerely works with your budget to get the best results in what will achieve the overall improvement you are looking for. Dr. Mittelman is not only admired for his amazing surgery skills, but competency of his staff, before, during, and after your procedure.

Today I had an earlobe repair procedure by Dr. Mittelman. I was very nervous and truly appreciated the care Dr. Mittelman took to explain the before, during and after aspects of the procedure, which helped to put me at ease. Dr. Mittelman is a very accessible, highly skilled surgeon. He is also a mentor to post doctoral fellows, which demonstrates his deep commitment to his field and his practice. Terry (Dr. M’s nurse) is fantastic, and she talked to me during my procedure today, which was an enormous comfort to me. I would definitely recommend Dr. Mittelman to anyone who has a plastic surgical need. He and his professional team – from the front desk to those who assist during procedures and everyone else who works there, all provide exceptional, compassionate care to their patients, and make you feel like you personally are their highest concern and priority.

Dr. Mittelman and his team are friendly, professional, and set an extremely high bar for patient care. This is a doctor’s office you can trust to treat you with kindness and provide you with excellent service and treatment. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Harry Mittelman and Lee Ann Steffen.

I have been a client of Dr. Mittelman for longer then i would like to say and have had several procedure that have all turned out great!!! My partner and I have sent so many of our friends and family to him with never a single worry that they wouldn’t be treated with the upmost care and the best out come anyone could want. I think he just gets better and better, each time I have some thing done the recovery is easier and the results even better then I expect. His staff is exceptional, so warm and understanding. Terrie is a wonderful person and so nice to see and talk with. Kim is also so very helpful, just a great group of people who are there to make the experience very comfortable and they answer all the questions we ask when we decide to do a little procedure.
Many thanks to you all.

I am a client of the Face to Face project and a victim of domestic abuse for many years. Throughout those years, it took it’s toll on me emotionally and psychologically and physically.
Thanks to programs like «Face to Face» which Dr. Mittelman’s office, is a part of. With the help of your Big Heart and wonderful staff, whom were never judgmental nor full of curious questions. One that I heard so often, «why did you stay or what got you to leave»? I was greeted with warm smiles and willingness to want to help. The domestic abuse resulted in a fractured jaw, a deviated septum, protruding and broken teeth. Scars from open facial wounds and sagging eyelids from so many black eyes, my face had endured. I am currently working on trying to further correcting my eyelids and other facial parts that I feel would help bring my looks back to where I first started, before the abuse. With help from your office, I am continuing to work on those aspects.
With teamwork from both Dr. Shreiber and Dr. Mittleman, your team was able to come together with a plan, to help me feel and look normal again. All along re-​assuring me that my face didn’t look that bad, which was very flattering and far from normal of what I was accustomed to hearing, for so many years. Both professional and willing to hear all of my concerns and answer any questions.
I want to thank your office from the bottom of my heart for your empathy and willingness to want to help myself and others that are Victims. For doing research in finding an outpatient hospital, that was willing to donate a room, to perform the surgery. I really cannot emphasize how great my gratitude is to your team on how thankful I am for your work and your time.
I am hoping to return to your office soon. As I know I need a little more work done, that was not covered by the face to face program!
Will be seeing you soon!

The last review I wrote on Dr. Mittelman was 1÷17÷2013 immediately after my facelift so this is just an updated report to say that everything has gone well and I’m happy with the over all results. You cannot see any scars at all on me because Dr. Mittelman made the incision on the edge (inside) of my ear and not down the front of the ear, as some plastic surgeons do for a facelift. The other incisions were behind my ear and in the hairline, which also can’t be seen. It seems that a lot of plastic surgeons that I’ve talked to in the past have a real ego problem, but that is not the case with Dr. Mittelman. I feel that he really listens to his patients and what they want. Most important, I feel he really cares about his patients. I’ve had several follow-​up appointments with both Dr. Mittelman and Dr. Schreiber, both have great personalities and they always take time to make sure you are happy and well.

I had my eyes done by Dr. Mittelman and the work he did was amazing.
The scarring is barely there, you have to look in a magnifying mirror to see it. He made the perfect adjustment, and I could not be happier. He is a true artist.

A good friend of mine recommended Dr. Mittelman when I told her I was interested in botox injections for my crow’s feet and frown lines between the eyes. So, I made an appointment and have to say that I have been thrilled with the results! And, everyone in the office, including Dr. Mittelman, is so helpful, warm and friendly! They truly make you feel like a part of their family!

Do not go here. You have been warned. I had a procedure done and it was horrible. He only wants your money. Go elsewhere and good luck. You will thank me

In need of a full face lift, I consulted with 4 of whom I felt where the top rated cosmetic surgeons in the Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Los Altos areas.
I wanted to choose the best surgeon, since I have seen face lifts with coarse cuts under the ears and some noticible asymetry in the tightness of the face. Additionally, I knew that my looks could benefit not just with reducing the appearance of my age, but with a chin implant, since I always had a receiding chin line given to me by my father’s side.
Dr. Mittelman was the one surgeon who specifically stated that a chin implant would improve my looks substantally. One other surgeon agreed after I asked him near the end of our consultation.
After much research and self analization I choose Dr. Mittelman because I felt he is extremely detailed and would do the best job of making me look younger, and improve my looks. So in 1995 he and his staff did a face lift with neck liposuction, chin implant, and brow lift.
I must say Dr. Mittleman did marvelous job. The cuts are barely noticible. My face is much more symetrical, younger looking and for the first time I feel like a man with a strong chin line which gives my face a much more structured look. It looks so good I might even be able to be nominated to do a U. S. Marines commercial! It’s been a great 6 years feeling that I look so good.
I continue to have Dr. Mittleman, his nurse/​assistant Terry, and his staff take care of my ongoing need to look as good as I possibly can. Botox, filler and light lazer work have all been performed by The Mittelman Team to maintane and augment my looks. Dr. Mittelman always personally injects the Botox while his nurse/​assiatant Terry injects the filler.
They do marvelous work and I highly trust them.

I had my upper eyelids done and a small scar revision done on my right cheek. And I have to say of all the people I know that have had their eyelids done mine are absolutely horrible the worst I“ve seen! It looks like he carved out the skin with a table knife. The scarring is so bad I can not go without makeup on them. And the scar revision was a tiny little pin mark he was going to remove but left me with thumbprint size very visible scar on my cheek worse than the original scar. He told me that in time they would both get better but it has been years and they both look worse. BEWARE!!!
