Meet Dr. Rajiv Iyengar
Dr. Iyengar was raised in Puyallup, Washington and spent his formative years in the South Puget Sound region. He attended Bellarmine Preparatory School, graduating as Valedictorian and entered the highly selective eight-year combined BS/MD program at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
As a medical student, he distinguished himself by receiving awards and national recognition for his basic science and clinical research work. Dr. Iyengar worked closely with lifelong friends and mentors at Brown who inspired him to pursue a career in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He then completed the prestigious and rigorous six year integrated plastic surgery residency at Yale University.
Following graduation, Dr. Iyengar pursued additional advanced training as a fellow in hand, upper extremity and microvascular reconstruction at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. In this clinically busy year, he managed complex trauma, nerve/brachial plexus pathology, pediatric congenital hand anomalies and a high volume of common upper extremity concerns including peripheral compression neuropathies such as carpal tunnel and age-related osteoarthritis.
He has published numerous articles in peer reviewed publications in the realms of hand and upper extremity surgery, pediatric craniofacial surgery and aesthetic surgery of the face, breast and body with well known leaders in the field. Dr. Iyengar is passionate about helping restore and enhance form and function to his patients. He is looking forward to bringing his skillset back home to serve his community.
When not at work, Dr. Iyengar enjoys time with family and dog as well as traveling, trying new cuisines and staying active with tennis, hiking or anything else outdoors!

I have lived my entire adult life self conscious of my neck sagging and double chin. Dr. Iyengar took such good care and gave me a tight neck and for once in my life I have a jawline! I had a neck and lower face lift with lipo in my chin.

Dr. Iyengar is an incredible doc, he truly listened to my story and provided a plan to address all of my medical needs. After surgery, he has been providing excellent care of me and is the most accessible surgeon I have ever encountered. Having a complex medical history, I was nervous about having this surgery, but Dr. Iyengar and his whole staff have been amazing and I highly recommend them!

I had a procedure to ease back and neck pain. Dr.Rajiv Iyengar. Was so amazing. His staff was thoughtful. They helped coordinate insurance. Made sure I was well informed and the surgery and results have been beyond my expectations. I suggest you shop around and then STOP when you interview Dr Iyengar. The procedure went without a hitch. He had full control of all the Medical professionals and was very thorough through the day. He is helpful and old fashioned in his bedside manner. Very pleased with results and will recommend to anyone.

From my very first consultation, I was blown away by the level of care and professionalism at this practice. Every single team member, from the front desk to the medical coordinators and assistants, was friendly, attentive, and truly made me feel at ease. The customer service is top-notch!
Dr. Iyengar is exceptional. His experience, skill, and depth of knowledge shine through in every interaction. His bedside manner is warm and reassuring, and he takes the time to truly listen to your goals without ever being pushy. He’s incredibly responsive and makes you feel confident and cared for from day one. Honestly, his fresh perspective combined with his expertise is a major positive!
The aftercare has also been outstanding! Thorough, diligent, and consistently supportive. I’ve felt cared for every step of the way.
My entire experience has been nothing short of excellent. I’d highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a team that’s professional, compassionate, and truly invested in your care. They set the bar high!

Dr Iyengar did a repair on an old eyelid surgery. Him and his staff were a pleasure to work with and I could not be happier with the results!
Laurie A.
Dr. Raj Iyengar is awesome!!! I had 3 areas of botox today (glabella, crow's feet, and forehead). I had absolutely no pain and zero bruising. He was very informative throughout the procedure, and very kind. A great experience
Christina R.
I am 6 days post brow lift, blephraplasty, nanofat transfer, and neck lipo with Renuvion, and I already see a significant difference. I am SO excited already, and I’m still healing. Dr Iyengar has an incredible bed side manner, remembers little details about his patients, and has an impeccable résumé. I made the right choice trusting him with my face!
Ron L.
I’m glad to have this doctor and his staff on my side. When I heard the words skin cancer I went through a WIDE verity of feelings. I got worse case scenario and it scared me. After some reassurance I felt much better. I’m amazed at the complexity of the surgery and how well everything went. Just 6 weeks after surgery I’m feeling much better about the future look that everyone will see when they see my smiling face. Thanks Dr. Iyengar. I’ll share photos with anyone interested.

His kindness, super friendliness (a rare trait), helpfulness, caring nature, and outstanding service are truly remarkable. Additionally, his extensive knowledge and confident responses to my questions, along with his ability to treat me with personable care, make him an exceptional surgeon.
