Marcelo Hochman MD & Sami Tarabishy MD The Facial Surgery Center-Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in Mt Pleasant, SC

I had to get a pilar cyst removed on my scalp. I have had one removed from another doctor in Charleston and let me tell you - Dr. Hochman and his staff are 100000% times better. He was very friendly, understanding, and had great attention to detail. The room they do it in has a heated bed, a weighted blanket, relaxing music, and he didn’t shave my hair and used clear stitches. I just really appreciated the whole process! Thank you so much!!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Tarabishy. He did some scar tissue removal on my lip and removed a small cyst on my ear. Dr. Barnes was also an amazing anesthesiologist. The assistant Miss Couch (I hope I got that correct) was also so sweet. Thanks again!

Dr. Hochman is an extraordinary physician who went above and beyond to make my experience with surgery for Occipital Neuralgia as comfortable and reassuring as possible. He performed decompression and excision on my Greater and Lesser Nerves, and I can’t express enough how grateful I am for his expertise and care. From the moment I first met him, he was warm, compassionate, and truly listened to all my concerns. It’s rare to find a doctor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely invested in the well-being of their patients, and Dr. Hochman is one of those rare individuals. Although I am still in the early stages of recovery—just a few days post-surgery—what stands out to me most is how involved Dr. Hochman was throughout the entire process. I was a bit disoriented and loopy after the procedure, but I vividly remember him personally taking the time to escort me to my wife’s car in a wheelchair, making sure I felt supported and comfortable. He didn’t just leave me in the hands of his amazing team; he took the extra steps to ensure I felt safe and cared for every step of the way. Even before surgery, he walked me into the operating room, taking the time to reassure me and help calm my nerves. Dr. Hochman’s dedication to his patients goes far beyond what most would expect from a surgeon. His kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care made a world of difference during what could have been a stressful time. It’s clear that he values the doctor-patient relationship deeply, and it’s rare to encounter such a compassionate, thoughtful approach to healthcare. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending Dr. Hochman to anyone considering migraine surgery or treatment for Occipital Neuralgia. His care is truly unparalleled, and I am deeply grateful for everything he’s done for me.

My husband and I had some surgery done by Dr. Hochman 5 months ago. We are very happy with the results. The whole process was well-explained when we met for the first time. Dr. Hochman and everyone in the office is very professional, kind, and flexible. The follow-up sessions, the drainage, etc. Were above expectations. We highly recommend this Doctor and his beautiful and conveniently-located place.

Dr Hochman and his team are not only kind and caring but I can’t imagine anyone being better at what they do. I felt so cared for and could tell the Dr Hochman was truly passionate about his gift of a surgeon. My “lift” was the best thing I have ever done for myself and boosted my self confidence beyond words.
