I’ve been to a few other offices before coming to Revive, and the difference is noticeable the moment you walk through the door. You’re taken care of by an excellent clinical team. Every staff member was attentive, professional and genuinely sweet. Thank you to the team.

Dr. Elshoreya sets a high standard for physicians working in women’s healthcare. Choosing him was the right decision. Like any good physician, he reassured me that I was in good hands. What makes him great, though, is the clarity and simplicity with which he communicates, all while treating you with the respect you deserve. He’ll speak to you like a person, not just his patient. That quality, along with the many others he demonstrates, is what turns a doctor into the kind of doctor you hope to find. He has excellent bedside manners, and he’s consistent and procedural (meaning no surprises).

What I appreciate is there’s always a female medical assistant in the exam room. She is actively involved in the conversation, not simply there to observe. It’s evident they work well together as a team. In my opinion this reflects the office’s commitment to patient well-being. They’re also all super friendly and easy to talk to!

Above all, his years of experience and the consistency of outstanding results speak for themselves. I won’t share the reason for my visit, but I will say that I am very pleased.

Thank you, Dr. Elshoreya and the ENTIRE team!

I am so incredibly happy that I chose Dr. Elshoreya for my recent vaginoplasty and perineoplasty. As a critical care nurse, I have seen a lot of surgical care, and I can say without hesitation that the level of care I received here is unmatched.

I underwent a lengthy four -hour procedure, and from the start, Dr. Elshoreya was exceptional. He is incredibly kind, patient, and thorough—he takes so much time to walk you through every surgical and non-surgical option, never making you feel rushed. It is no surprise at all that he won the award for 'Best Vaginoplasty' last year; His expertise is truly top-tier.

Beyond his skill, the environment he and his staff have created is so warm and welcoming. Special shout out to Medical Assistant, Vanessa who is also kind and caring, and is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Dr Elshoreya is genuinely sweet, makes you feel like family (he even gives the best hugs!), and has been incredibly accessible post-op. He encouraged me to call anytime with questions, which gave me so much peace of mind during my recovery.

If you are looking for a surgeon who combines world-class surgical talent with sincere compassion and a supportive staff, look no further. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

3mo post labiaplasty: If you’re looking for award winning results, Dr E is your guy. He is incredible in so many ways; his bedside manner is calm, educational and nonjudgmental. I typically try not to use the word perfect, but the results of my labiaplasty are just that - perfect!
The staff at Revive heightens the quality of care that you receive from the second you walk in the door. The ladies are so sweet, welcoming and accommodating. I’ve had an outstanding experience from day one and highly recommend looking into what Revive can do for you. They’re THE BEST!
