Jonathan M Sykes, MD, FACS

I want to share the excellent experience I’ve had with Dr. Sykes over the years. He is an outstanding physician and an expert in facial plastic surgery. I had been unhappy with my nose for a long time but found it difficult to trust anyone to operate on my face. Dr. Sykes came highly recommended by my personal physician. He has a very warm and caring demeanor, which immediately puts you at ease, if you’re nervous like me. During the initial consult, he was very attentive to my concerns and what I’d hope to get out of the surgery. He emphasized that he would create a natural/​non-​operated look that would complement my face and that is exactly what he delivered.
He was very meticulous in explaining the surgical procedure and recovery timeline for rhinoplasty and that the final look would take weeks to fully show. This knowledge certainly helped me during the healing process.
After consulting with him, I felt very confident that he would help me achieve the look I always envisioned. He took very good care of me before, and after the surgery, which went really well. He checked in with me after my surgery and was very easy to reach when I had to call with questions.
I had very minimal pain and bruising and the recovery process was very seamless. I was instantly pleased with the result but he reassured me that the final look will reveal in the coming weeks. Now that couple years have passed, I am beyond thrilled with my new look. My nose fits my facial features perfectly and I often forget I had any work done. He is truly a masterful surgeon and very passionate about his work. He has been a diligent educator in his field for many years and I fully trust his expertise in cosmetic facial procedures and doing what’s best for his patients. I have returned to him recently to get Botox for the first time. He was incredibly informative, answering my numerous questions regarding injectable options and non-​invasive procedures.
I have referred close friends and family including my mom to Dr. Sykes and they have all been very pleased with the care they have received from him. After being his patient, I simply can’t trust anyone else to work on my face. I highly recommend Dr. Sykes to anyone seeking quality aesthetic work and outstanding patient care experience.

I have never written a review before, but after such an amazing experience I had to share. Dr. Jonathan Sykes is a highly skilled plastic surgeon. I’ve been going to Dr. Sykes for a few years now for filler, botox & lip injections and with his results, I won’t see anyone else. I’ve had horrible results with other doctors that do injectables on the side. And I’ve suffered the consequences. If you are considering any kind of facial procedure I would highly recommend Dr. Sykes and his staff!
I’m really happy with my result. It looks completely natural.

I had the distinct pleasure of being a patient of Dr Sykes for facial surgery a few months ago. I was referred to him by a colleague of mine in San Francisco and from the time of initial contact my experience was first rate.
As a Physician, I have very high standards and expectations when choosing my Medical Doctors. When I researched Dr Sykes, I was beyond impressed, in fact simply amazed at his credentials and body of work. He is absolutely in the prime of his career and is internationally known for his skills. He travels frequently around the world to lecture at prominent Universities and conferences. He also finds time to do medical missions to work on children in third world countries with deformities. His before and after photos of patients are impressive, and I felt instantly comfortable that he could help me achieve the look that I wanted.
I met and consulted with a number of Facial Plastic Surgeons prior to deciding who to perform my procedure, and none of them came close to Dr Sykes interpersonal skills and caring nature. He took a tremendous amount of time out of his clinic day to answer my questions, allay my fears, and describe in detail what he felt was needed to achieve my objective. At no point did I feel like he was pushing procedures that were unnecessary or going to make me look unnatural. He did, however, offer me a price that was incredibly fair in comparison to some other Surgeons I had met with.
The results thus far have quite honestly surpassed what I had expected, and I feel that Dr Sykes is as much of an artist as he is a surgeon. After the surgery he called multiple times to make sure that I was doing well and was very responsive to messages when I had concerns.
In summary, I give Dr Sykes my highest recommendation, and I am happy to answer messages from anyone interested in having a procedure with him. I feel that it would be hard to surpass his caring bedside manner, experience, body of work, and hands.
Sincerely,
Dr Alexis P.

This doctor knows his stuff; world-​class. I came in with three main gripes about the shape and size of my chin; for a reasonable price and with a precise hand, he carefully shaped the underlying bone structure into exactly what I had asked for. I’m glad I did my research, ultimately finding Dr Skykes via the recommendation of an award-​winning Bay Area surgeon who regarded this surgeon as somewhat of a ‘chin guru’ during our consultation. Healing went off without a hitch and pain was minimal-​nonexistent throughout the process.
100% I am pleased with my experience.

I accidentally posted my review for Dr. Jonathan Sykes on his Roseville office Unilocal site. When I entered his name that was the only site that appeared. Some Unilocal glitch, probably. I am reposting my review on the UC Davis site as that is where I received all my pre and post op care. Here it is:
Dr. Sykes was referred to me by the facial surgeon at the Palo Alto skin care practice I had been going to for about 7 years. As I had made good use of all the latest and best non-​surgical facial rejuvenation methods, I knew I wanted to explore my surgical choices.
At 64, I had no doubt about proceeding with facial surgery. As I was in the process of relocating to the Sacramento area, the surgeon in Palo Alto did not hesitate a moment to refer me to Dr. Jonathan Sykes. He told me that if he had a family member that wanted facial surgery he would refer them to him. That really impressed me as this practice (Palo Alto Laser and Skin Care – another 5 star review I must write!) had done «miracles» for me over the years.
Well, needless to say, Dr. Sykes delivered way beyond my expectations. He is not only eminently qualified and experienced in state of the art research and therapies and surgery, but is a genuinely good human being whose foremost concern is his patient’s well being and satisfaction.

Arrogant, indeed. We met him while attending a social event. He sat next to us, introduced himself and told us what he did for a living. He then pointed at various women in the room and told us what «work» he had done on them. He just pointed at a woman and would state and said «nose job» or «face lift», etc. He identified at least 12 women this way. We were shocked and disgusted.

Arrogant, condescending and dismissive. Waste of my time.
