I first started going to Mikuni in Fair Oaks, California in 1992. They were a small sushi restaurant that was just starting to gain notoriety and popularity in the Sacramento area. I dined their frequently, usually many times a week. In fact my first date with Paula was at Mikuni in 1994. In 1996, we moved from California, but visited family a couple times a year and always kept up with Mikuni’s progress as they expanded from the one small restaurant to 5 in Northern California. We have always eaten sushi and have always compared it to our experience at Mikuni. Mikuni has always set the standard for us and we are not alone:
In 2007, Sacramento Magazine’s annual best restaurant results were released: readers voted Mikuni “Best” for ten consecutive years in the categories of “Best Japanese Restaurant” and “Best Sushi Restaurant.”
Sacramento Magazine is distributed monthly to over a half million subscribers.
Imagine our sheer excitement when we learned that our Mikuni restaurant was opening up their first location outside of California and that it would be literally right down the road from our home and office. We ate there three times in the first week alone!
Mikuni’s is located in the new outdoor part of the mall on the west side at Park Meadows Mall. It is between the new Brio Restaurant and Cru Wine Bar
I would love for you to check out Mikuni’s. Tell them Dr John Millard sent you!

In my last post, I began discussing what to look for when choosing the right cosmetic surgeon. Here’s another tip that I think will help the nervous cosmetic patient come to the right decision.
Ask your doctor this simple question: “Doctor, what do you think you’re good at, and what do you think you’re not good at?“ This is something that patients hardly ever ask, but it’s such an important thing to ask about!
No doctor is equally good at every procedure. If a doctor is incredibly good at breast augmentation procedures, that’s not proof that he’s equally good at a blepharoplasty. And if a doctor feels that he is not very good at facial procedures, he should not be the one giving you a facelift!
I personally will be very blunt with my patients: there are several areas that I’m incredibly good at, and there are a couple other areas that I’m not as good at. For those procedures, I will refer my patients to another doctor. And from what I can tell, patients seem to appreciate my honesty. But frankly, it’s a no brainer: I will do procedures that I’m good at, and that’s where I draw the line.
Unfortunately, some plastic surgeons do not have the same philosophy. Especially if a cosmetic doctor is having a slow month, he may perform a procedure he’s not normally known for. That is why, as a patient, you should ask where the doctor’s strengths and weaknesses lie as a cosmetic surgeon.
Wishing you good health,
Dr. John A. Millard

Choosing the right cosmetic surgeon can be a scary experience. You’re entrusting a near- stranger with your face or body, with part of your identity. In my next few blogs posts, I want to share a few tips on how to choose a good plastic surgeon.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
First: Every doctor should have a strong set of before-and-afters. Before-and-afters, are pictures of the cosmetic surgeon’s patients and their procedures. These photos are the best proof a doctor can offer that he or she receives good results. If a doctor seems unwilling to show you there before-and-after pictures, or only shows you a couple, be very wary!
A good doctor should be proud of his or her before-and-after photos, and take every opportunity to show them off. At my practice, we put a lot of photos right on the website. My partner, Dr. Broadway does the same thing with his before and after photos. If a doctor is unwilling to show off his photos, it’s evidence that he or she may have sub-standard results.
Wishing you good health,
Dr. John A. Millard

I started my 10 day whirlwind trip in Tokyo, Japan with my wife, Paula and my nurse and first assistant, Kim. We were there to perform Vaser Hi-def on one of the most prestigious Plastic Surgeons in Japan. In our free time, we did a river cruise, visited the world famous Tsukiji fish market, toured shrines and temples, and had the attached photos taken with Kim and Paula as Geishas and myself as a Samurai!
Next stop on the trip was London where I spent 2 days training 2 different clinics on Smartlipo. It was an exciting opportunity for me to introduce top surgeons in the country to this procedure. While in London we visited the Piccadilly Circus area of London.
We were then on to Innsbruck, Austria where I gave a lecture at the Laser Innsbruck 2008 national meeting, again on Smartlipo. I spent the rest of my trip touring Innsbruck and on the last day, took a train ride to Munich, Germany where I visited Dachau Concentration Camp.
Professionally, the trip was a huge success and a huge honor to be able to share my expertise in the field of body contouring with top surgeons from around the world. On a personal note, I loved being able to see the highlights of each city we visited and share them with Kim and Paula.
