Dr. Hamati patient reviews
At FPSA, we consider our patients family. Read some of their personal experiences.
This experience taught me to never underestimate a plastic surgeon who is early in their career. Attention to detail and skill can rival those of a highly experienced surgeon and sometimes even surpass them. Everything was prefect from day 1 but I waited before writing a review as I wanted to see the final result too.. & here we are; I underwent scar revision and removal of excess skin. The procedure itself and the recovery period were both smooth. Booking the appointment was easy, and I was able to get a nearby date. The doctor was kind. The procedure was scheduled immediately after the consultation, which made the whole process very convenient. Honestly, everything went so perfectly that I started thinking, “This can’t be real. Maybe I’ll be disappointed once the dressings come off or during the follow up process.” I had prepared myself for the possibility that the results might not be particularly great, especially since the area with the excess skin was quite complex. Today, the dressings came off, and I was shocked in the best possible way. The results are beyond excellent! He even personally called to check on me, and the team was very understanding and accommodating when scheduling my follow up appointment. & I MUST mention that I saw several doctors before coming here. Aside from the endless waiting times, the procedures they proposed were far more complex and invasive. This doctor took the time to listen, truly understood my concerns, and offered a straightforward solution that delivered results far better than anything I had hoped for or imagined possible. I’m grateful for this experience and the outcome. Definitely recommended. And I have to say his stitching is incredibly clean and almost invisible!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Hamati and his entire staff. I came to him with something I had grown increasingly self‑conscious about, and from the very first appointment he made me feel completely at ease. He explained the risks, the process, and what a reasonable outcome would be. No pressure, no sales pitch, just honesty and reassurance. My results have exceeded my expectations. I healed quickly, had zero complications, and for the first time in years I feel confident wearing a dress without worrying about how I look. Houston has no shortage of qualified surgeons, but Dr. Hamati was the first one who made me feel truly heard. No matter how many questions I asked (and there were plenty), he always responded promptly and made me feel like my case genuinely mattered. I’ve had surgery with another doctor in the past who dismissed my concerns and told me to “just trust me,” which turned out to be a mistake. With Dr. H, I never once felt brushed off or silly for asking. He was engaged throughout the entire process, and I could not be happier with my decision. I’m grateful I trusted another surgeon… and especially grateful that it was him.

Dr. Hamati took the time to listen to my goals, explain the procedure clearly, and made me feel completely at ease. My results are better than I imagined—I feel more confident and happy than ever. The attention to detail and skill truly show in the outcome. I’m so grateful I chose Dr. Hamati and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery!

I had a breast augmentation done with Dr. Hamati and I could not be happier! They look so natural per my request. He recommended over the muscle, so I trusted him and I’m so glad I did the results turned out amazing . Highly recommend going to him.
