Dr. Kanuri is pleasant to talk to, he is professional, and he notices all the previous procedures on the face without any prompting from the patient. He is frank and clearly explains what else can be done to make the face look better. He doesn't insist, but simply politely offers advice with explanations. I completely trust this doctor.

I am 12 weeks post-lipo and I’m very satisfied with my results. I’m still healing, but I’m truly happy with how things are looking so far. It took me time to make my decision because I was genuinely scared, but I never felt any pressure from the team — only reassuring advice, patience, and encouragement. I shopped around and compared several locations, and CPS clearly stood out for providing the best customer service. Dr. Kanuri was patient and took the time to answer all of my questions, which made the entire experience very reassuring. The post-surgery follow-up has been on point — this is not a place that just collects payment and checks boxes. They truly make your care a personal commitment. The first days post-op, Dr. Kanuri personally followed up with me daily via text to ensure I was doing well and to see if I needed anything. Choosing CPS and Dr. Kanuri was the best decision I made for a boost of self-confidence. I highly recommend them — Dr. Kanuri is truly the best.

Patient Testimonial

“I chose Dr. Kanuri because I had seen his work and I had seen friends go through other procedures, and his work is flawless. It’s beautiful. I honestly didn’t have to look anywhere else. Dr. Kanuri has always put my mind at ease. He’s just a very caring person. I could have texted him at 2:00 in the morning and he would’ve texted me back immediately or called to make sure I was doing okay. He was very responsive; just a nice human.”
