Dr. Evan Ransom, MD

Highly recommend. After doing a detailed search I found Dr. Ransom on Unilocal.All the reviews I read were pretty outstanding so I went in for a visit. I have lots of brown spots, age spots, etc. all over my face and my skin was looking very tired and dull looking. I thought he would do a laser removal treatment but suggested a home treatment because he feared that the laser would leave my spots even more darker. Wow. So honest. it’s been one week and I swear, I have notice that my skin is looking fresher and I have more color in my cheeks. I would not have believed this product works so well and so fast. Can’t wait for 8 and 12 weeks from now! Oh, very nice staff too!

I saw Dr. Ransom after a bike accident earlier this year. I had seen another plastic surgeon on call with the emergency room immediately after the accident who had stitched up the tears in my upper lip. I was left with substantial road rash on my chin and the potential for scarring on both my chin and upper lip. Dr. Ransom fit me in the day after the accident and was enormously helpful in monitoring my healing progress over several months and suggesting ways to prevent scarring. I greatly appreciated the time he took to talk to me about the options for follow-​up procedures and how available he made himself to answer any questions or concerns I had over time. I cannot recommend Dr. Ransom more highly.

My nose never set properly after I broke it several years ago. I only had about 10% airflow through one of my nostrils due to a deviated septum. I underwent rhinoplasty with Dr. Evan Ransom 2 months ago. I can now breathe perfectly from both sides of my nose. It has made a huge difference while sleeping and doing cardio. I recommend him to anyone considering rhinoplasty.

I had such a great experience with Dr. Ransom and staff! I knew from Unilocal reviews/​pictures that he was talented, but he was also very friendly, caring & informative during the consultation; it was obvious that I found a great surgeon! I had rhinoplasty revision and had a completely different experience from my first surgery with a different physician. With Dr. Ransom I had no bruising and very little swelling! I took tylenol a few times for «pain» but did not need anything stronger than that! I woke up a few hours after my procedure to a phone call from Dr. Ransom to see how I was feeling; so thoughtful! For a man that does this all day, everyday, I felt like he took the time to make sure I was comfortable and happy!
Also, his office manager, Dee is wonderful! She went out of her way to work with my schedule for appointments multiple times and was happy to do it!
Overall, very pleased with my experience! Everything turned out great, so I’m happy that I do not need another procedure. but I’d do it again if I did:)

My experience with Dr. Ransom and his team, from start to finish, was absolutely top-​notch and such a terrific experience! I had a septoplasty done and for being my first ever surgical procedure, I was a bit nervous and scared. Dr. Ransom was extremely attentive, thorough, trustworthy, showed high-​end professionalism and care. I was convinced, put at ease and excited about my procedure. The result is, life changing — finally being able to breath normally!!! The fact that cosmetically, it looks perfect and is what I’ve always wanted — I love it! Thank You so very much Dr. Ransom & team!

I have wanted a rhinoplasty ever since I was 13-​my mom couldn’t understand why, since the bump on my nose «wasn’t that bad», while I agree my bump wasn’t «that bad», it still made me unhappy-​I avoided taking pictures, especially from the side because I hated that I had the slightest bump on my nose. I searched around for plastic surgeons, but all of them seemed to do noses that looked too fake to me. All I wanted was for the little bump to be shaved down, so my nose would look like my nose and not a Barbie nose, that is when I found Dr.Ransom. I looked at his patients results, and none of them had noses that obviously looked like they had been done. I wanted to still look like me, but an improved version of me and this is exactly what Dr. Ransom does! My nose looks exactly how I wanted it to look. Dr. Ransom is so nice and accommodating. I had a HUGE blood clot in my nose that I couldn’t get out, and he had me come in to remove it. Every time I have interacted with him, he has been very professional, and friendly! Lastly, what sealed the deal for me in picking Dr. Ransom as my surgeon was the work he does in third world countries fixing cleft palettes of children. You can tell Dr. Ransom really truly cares about people and about doing an excellent job. I am so happy I chose him to do my rhinoplasty, and even if he is more expensive than the other surgeons I saw, it was ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! I recommended him to all my friends interested in rhinoplasty-he’s amazing! thank you Dr. Ransom, I finally have the nose I felt I should’ve been born with!

I wanted to get a small mole removed from my face and was researching for months to find the best surgeon for me.
I came across Dr Ransom’s website and saw that he had a topic solely on mole removal– I didn’t find any other doctor’s websites that did. This gave me confidence that he had experience in mole removal along with before and after photos that I’d seen.
I’m from Chico and made the trip to San Fran for the removal and a follow up appt– the trip was worth it! Dee and Emily
we’re both super helpful, accommodating and informative.
Dr Ransom is very professional, personable and highly skilled. Made me feel very comfortable and was open to answer any questions. He does two layers of stitches– one underneath the skin to reduce tension which reduces scarring and one on the top of the skin. Stitches stayed in for 5 days, then got them removed and they were covered by a liquid bandaid and strip until that fell off a few days later.
I know it wasn’t a major surgery, but anything to do with the face is a bit daunting. I only have a very small line of a scar which will continue to heal with time.
I also did a review on realself that has before and after photos.
I highly recommend Dr Ransom and his team!

The lady at the jewelry store told me diamonds shrink when I bought my diamond studs. She didn’t tell me they would stretch my earlobes out! Sadly, I had to retire my heavy earrings and search out a doc to repair my self inflicted damage. I actually had a hard time finding a doctor who did earlobe repair surgery. Luckily, I found Dr. Ransom through Unilocal.His team was so friendly and helpful from the moment I called. They asked me to email pics of my earlobes so they could give me an estimate before I even came in and were able to accommodate me within a week. I did my consult and surgery the same day, which was amazing because of my busy schedule. Dr. Ransom is very personable and made me feel better that I wasn’t the only one who had this problem because he does this procedure at least once per week. The procedure was pretty quick under local anesthesia and I was done in about an hour with minimal discomfort. I’m a little neurotic, so over the weekend, I thought I was developing an infection. I called the emergency line and Dr. Ransom called me right away to answer my questions and prescribed me an antibiotic. I healed up great and 8 weeks later, I have pretty pierced ears again! Thank you to Dr. Ransom and his amazing team for providing great care and wonderful results. I highly recommend him if you are considering any cosmetic procedure!

My daughter (3.5 years) and I traveled to San Carlos and Sacramento in May 2015. When visiting my sister in San Carlos one of her two small dogs bit my daughter in the face. I was able to calm her down and discussed what to do but as we were leaving for Sacramento that afternoon and the bleeding had stopped I decided to hold off and go to a clinic in Sacramento. That evening we went to a clinic and the doctor suggested we go to an emergency room where there might be a plastics doc to stitch her up with the least amount of future scarring. We went to a Sacramento ER and after waiting an hour and then being told that it could be another 3 – 4 (or more) we went back to my friends house. Next day my sister was able to get me is an appointment with Dr. ransom for that afternoon! Had we called the day before he probably would have taken us then but I guess my sister didn’t think of it. Anyway, long story short (maybe already too late!) Dr. ransom and his team took us in right as we arrived and cleaned and numbed the area and brought us into a very clean and quiet (read: not scary) procedure room and cleaned her up in 5 minutes! She has just a tiny little scar that I pretty much am the only one that can noticed and she’s not afraid of dogs! I credit Dr. Ransom and his wonderful team for this. Highly recommend this professional, skilled, friendly and compassionate team. Wish I could post before and after pics.

I recently had a non surgical neck lift with an «Infini» sound machine done by Dr. Ransom.
After just a week, I could see tightening and diminishing of long time lines across the neck. It is important for me to feel and look my best. I had no down time and Dr. Ransom was personable, professional and allowed me to feel that I was, at all times, in good hands. Dr. Ransom’s Associate, Dee helped me decide that this was the right path take and at all times made me feel like they cared about me and my results. Their office is in an easy to get to downtown location and my whole experience was positive.

Highly recommended! The best Doctor in town. Gotta love him. Very smart and expert .Top notch surgeon and yet won’t over charge. Dee, his ever– sweet secretary will make your whole expwrimce delightful. She is the light that brightens your gloomy atmosphere.

Dr. Ransom is a kind, skilled, thorough surgeon. My friends and family were ASTONISHED when I removed my bandages one week after surgery – you could barely tell I had been cut the entire length of my nose. I went to Dr. Ransom in his Marin County office following the removal of a carcinoma, and wasn’t sure what to expect. I’d recommend him to anyone.

It is my pleasure to write this enthusiastic review for Dr. Evan R. Ransom and the San Francsisco Center for Facial Plastic, Reconstructive & Laser Surgery.
On January 7, 2015, Dr. Ransom performed on me a rhinoplasty (correction of deviated septum, shortening of nose, and thinning of nose tip) and lower blepharoplasty in a single intervention. I am very pleased with the results of both procedures. In particular, the rhinoplasty results are very natural and in harmony with other features of my face.
Dr. Ransom is a very professional and skilled surgeon. He also has a very warm and witty personality. I particularly appreciate the attention and care he demonstrates during post-​operation visits. He is clearly determined to obtain the best outcome possible for his patients.
Ms. Dee Roby, Patient Coordinator, is an invaluable asset to the Center and contributes greatly to my excellent experience. She is highly dedicated to her job, organized, caring, and warm.
It has truly been a pleasure to work with both Dr. Ransom and Ms. Roby and I always look forward to my visits. I would definitely consider Dr. Ransom if and when I decide to undergo another procedure.

I had a protruding scar on my chin from a bicycle-​fall (I had neglected to get stitches when I fell). I had a scar excision surgery with Doctor Evan. He tried hard to maintain proper contour of the chin and did a very thorough job with the stitches. I’m very satisfied with the result.

This morning was my first time at Dr. Ransom’s office and it wont be my last! First off, whenever you greeted by someone at a front desk who’s happy, cheerful, and willing to answer any questions, you know you off to a good start. (Dee you’re great!!) I went in to get Restylane injections in the tear troughs and couldn’t be happier. Dr. Ransom marked exactly where he was going to inject and it was relatively quick and painless! He also used one full syringe on me, cautioning me that two syringes might be too much. I noticed results immediately! Still waiting for a little bit of the swelling to go down to see the full results but I will 100% be going back.
Note: He also mentioned that he would have to take off my makeup under the eye for the fillers and wanted to make sure I brought some powder and stuff since I was going straight back to work. He didn’t want the bruising to be as noticeable since I mentioned that I wanted to keep it hush hush! How sweet! What doctor even takes that into consideration?
Also, noticing that over reviewers have commented on ear lobe reconstruction, I think I will be going to him for that now too! And I have some scar tissue from a belly button piercing that I would like to get removed so it looks like I might be seeing him again sooner than I thought!
So happy I found this office!

Dr. Evan Ransom is amazing and I highly recommend him!
I was introduced to Dr. Ransom, by a mutual friend a little over a year ago. Since then, I have been hooked!!! Every time I go in I walk away looking so natural and refreshed, I always appreciate his professionalism, expertise and overall care. I love that the desired results are achieved so quickly under his gentle touch. Additionally, having the added convenience of seeing him in either San Francisco or Marin County makes planning so much easier.
I am never disappointed with his aesthetic services, and you won’t be either!

I followed the reviews here as well as the reviews on
, and my fellow reviewers are absolutely right — Dr. Ransom is THE BEST! I am SO happy with his work. I came to Dr. Ransom 3 days after I got Restylane injections in the tear troughs from a very terrible dermatologist here in SF (see my 1 star review on Unilocal), where I paid $ 618 and saw no difference whatsoever after using 1 full syringe.
Now, let me tell you how wonderful Dr. Ransom’s office is. First, they really work with you to try to fit you in ASAP. They are also very fast and responsive via email communication, as well as returning phone calls. The office coordinator, Dee, is very friendly and super helpful. The best thing about Dee/​the office is that they try to get you discounts from manufacturers (i.e., they let you know about deals that you can sign up for and get coupons), so you can save quite a bit of money (depending on the procedure you get, I guess. Don’t quote me; this was just my personal experience). I thought this was really great because Dee has to go out of her way in her busy day to get some paperwork done for you (e.g., certify that you got the procedures), when she/​the office really doesn’t have to. Because being cost-​effective (while not sacrificing quality) is very important to me, I’m very thankful for this.
Now, onto Dr. Ransom. My first appointment was a consultation (consultation fee applied towards procedure if you decide to get the procedure). Dr. Ransom was extremely friendly, kind, and personable. He takes his time to thoroughly explain the procedures, the mechanisms, even in scientific terms if you’re interested, and treats you like you are intelligent and a valued customer. He doesn’t try to dumb things down for you, rush you through the appointment, or give false information (unlike the terrible dermatologist I went to). He tells you things honestly, as-​is, and does not try to sell you additional services or try to get you to spend more money than you need to (some bad doctors will try to get you to buy an additional syringe or add on Botox when they’re the ones who are incompetent and failed to do their job correctly). Even when I suggested that I’m interested in a particular/​additional procedure, he’d tell me that I don’t need it. So, Dr. Ransom is definitely a very trustworthy and ethical doctor. He also has wonderful bedside manners, as many others have said.
I know a lot of the reviews here are for surgical procedures, but I want to add that Dr. Ransom is excellent at injections as well. I came here to get a second opinion and also to fix the work of the previous doctor. I wanted to minimize the appearance of my under eye bags and dark circles. Dr. Ransom first used an enzyme to dissolve the poor work that the previous doctor did, and then I got 1 syringe total of Restylane injected in the tear troughs. Dr. Ransom is very meticulous. He took the time to carefully mark the areas for injections (whereas the bad doctor I saw previously just eyeballed it). Dr. Ransom definitely took his time and made sure everything was clean and perfectly set before he did the injections. He numbed the area beforehand as well, so the pain was very minimal during the injections.
He also uses the micro-​cannula needle, which is preferable to the regular needle, because it is less painful, more precise (?), and causes less bruising. The procedure was so much less painful when it’s done by Dr. Ransom than by the other doctor. The bruising was also far less as well.
The best part? The results. I love the results! No more dark circles/​eye bags with just 1 syringe injected by Dr. Ransom (whereas the previous doctor’s method didn’t work, and she tried to get me to buy more). There is a huge, noticeable improvement in my under eye appearance, and it was noticeable right away. Dr. Ransom had told me that he could not make the dark circles/​eye bags go away completely, but in fact he did! I no longer see them and I feel so much more confident and happier. I’m so glad that I had chosen Dr. Ransom to perform the work.
Whenever this Restylane fades, I will definitely come back to Dr. Ransom for subsequent injections. I highly recommend Dr. Ransom for injectables. His prices are very good, and excellent after you use any available coupons. So, you get the best work at the best prices. I couldn’t have asked for more and am 100% happy with my treatment process and my results.
Side note: Dr. Ransom performs volunteer humanitarian work (repairing cleft lips for children in third world countries). I find this to be a very admirable personal trait, on top of his excellent skills as a surgeon.
PS: They also have good Lindt chocolate in their office: D

After doing a thorough research and reading many reviews I went to see Dr. Ransom for a scar tissue removal on my upper lip. I was insecure about my smile, so I hardly did. I am thrilled on how professional and helpful he is. And I can say the same about his helper Deep Roby.
I’m satisfied with how well the scar is healing. Though he’s got a busy schedule, he makes sure he accomodates his patients. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Ransom and Dee are the best! I had earlobe repair done; they made the procedure super comfortable and painless, and the results are gorgeous if I don’t say so myself. They’re both so genuine, nice, professional — truly exceptional people. I kinda wish I needed a nose job!

Dr Ransom is amazing! I had my ears stretched to two inches, and my right ear was ripped for years. I made a appointment with Dee his assistant, and had my surgery the next week. Evan is very professional, and was extremely supportive. Dee, his assistant, sweetest woman ever! Consistent, communicative, and was willing to help me re-​schedule my appointments. My ears turned out great. Thank you Dee, and Evan!!! You two are the best. I highly recommend!
