Dear Patients:
I have decided to close my practice. Many of you have asked me who you should go for further surgeries and care. The quality of care in the entire northern Virginia area is very high and there are plenty of good board-certified plastic surgeons (definitely use a board-certified plastic surgeon). I want to particularly endorse Dr. Behzad Parva. He does excellent work and is extremely ethical. One of the best qualities is that he will tell you when you don’t need something done. Dr. Parva has covered my practice for many years when I have been on vacation. I have known him for over 15 years.This is his contact information:
Please let him know that you came to him via my website. It has been an honor and a privilege to be your plastic surgeon.
Warmly,
David Berman MD, FRCSC
