I was really terrified all my life of plastic surgery and when I was researching doctors it was…read moreeven worse because every time I spoke to an office I always felt like an agenda was being pushed or these crazy unbelievable results were being heavily pushed towards me. Offices were spam calling me back daily or bombarding me with emails like ad agencies lol. Or that typical tiktok "this doctor has THIS special technique" which felt sooo gimmicky and fake. I never felt like I really got to see PS doctors as medical providers and get to speak to them without the shiny Beverly Hills facade. Plastic surgery does have this trendy side.. i get it. But it is still a very big medical procedure and I really felt like I just couldn't trust a lot of these flashy doctors I'd spoken to... I lost around 40 lbs and I always dreamed of fixing my lower pooch area - my case is a little odd because I haven't had kids yet and am relatively lean - I was looking for a really refined result. AND zero BS. just tell me what's possible and what's not. Dr. Kim didn't take a crazy consultation fee. I didn't wait months for a consultation. He didn't try to sell me anything. His office looks and works like an actual (clean and beautiful) medical office. I never waited for my appointments. During my consultation, he gave me plenty of time to ask questions and voice my concerns. I didn't feel like I was being spoken down to or being sold a used car. Finally felt like I'm speaking with a doctor who can actually lay out to me exactly what to expect moving forward, the downsides and upsides of my options, and what was and wasn't possible. Nothing was downplayed or overexaggerated. I had never had surgery before and so I really wasn't ready to have a big procedure like a tummy tuck. I asked if there was a more conservative option for my loose skin/pooch - we settled on a mini tuck with lipo to remove a large portion of my problem area - with the door always open for a full if I ever wanted. Dr. Kim was supportive, nonjudgmental and honest about whatever decision I chose. Results - my mini TT results were BEAUTIFUL. My stubborn lower pooch was totally smoothed out - no lipo ripples or weird creases. I recovered in like 2 weeks. No infections, no broken stitches, no seromas, no hypertrophic scarring, no dead skin, just... nothing. Dr. checked in with me after surgery multiple times to make sure I was doing okay. My garment fit comfortably and I was on just tylenol by the end of day 2. My incision healed into a thin, fine line which was sooo easily covered in a bikini. Way later when I was finally ready for a full tummy tuck surgery to reach the last bits of loose skin, the ease of my decision was in large part influenced by how smooth my past experience was. I trusted I was in good hands, and I was right. AGAIN, the entire procedure despite being a WAY bigger one, was just as smooth as the first time. Drains were easy. Stitches dissolved easily. The new incision is exactly where we planned for it to be - thin, and very very low and replaced my older scar. I entrusted Dr Kim to decide whether muscle repair was needed or not - he said he will if needed, since we're already in there let's make it perfect! I am snatched lol :'D my belly button looks so cute with a little hood, it looks natural and lovely. I'm around 3 weeks out and my incision is already so clean and healing very well. At this point, I can say I have a very good idea of how Dr Kim's office works, the pre op, surgery, the follow up, as well as healing/recovery. All the girls remember me, they make scheduling extremely easy, are fun to talk to, and before and after my operation my nurse really made me feel safe, cared for, and at ease. I was given all instructions and medications promptly and on time, as well as the Dr's personal number for any issues at all. Everyone has their own experiences and surgery is a big decision which can have unpredictable outcomes. But for me, choosing Dr. kim (twice) was the best decision I made for myself. Thank you Dr Kim and team :')

Dear Dr. Newman, Claudia, and the Entire Team,…read more I wanted to write and express how truly grateful I am for the wonderful care I received throughout my tummy tuck journey. Making the decision to have surgery is a very personal one, and naturally, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. From the moment I walked into your office, however, I knew I was in the right hands. Every interaction was met with kindness, encouragement, and genuine care. To Claudia and the staff, I thank you for your friendly smiles, professionalism, and the way you consistently went above and beyond. It is rare to find a team that works together so seamlessly while making every patient feel important and valued. Dr. Newman, I cannot thank you enough. Your kindness and compassion are truly remarkable. In a world where medical care can sometimes feel rushed, you took the time to listen, answer questions, and make me feel completely at ease. Your caring bedside manner is something I will never forget. I always felt that you genuinely cared about me as a person, not just as a patient. Not only am I thrilled with my results, but I am equally grateful for the experience itself. The confidence I have gained is a gift, but what stands out most is the way I was treated every step of the way--with dignity, warmth, respect, and genuine compassion. Thank you all for the incredible work you do and for creating an environment where patients feel supported, cared for, and encouraged. I feel blessed to have found your practice and will always be grateful for the kindness and expertise you showed me. With heartfelt appreciation, Suzy Moore

There are truly no words strong enough to express the gratitude our family has for Dr. Jewell From…read morethe very first consultation through my mom's mastectomy and recovery, they showed not only exceptional surgical skill, but also genuine compassion, patience, and humanity during one of the hardest times in our lives. My mom was understandably scared and emotional, but Dr. Jewell made her feel safe, respected, informed, and cared for every step of the way. Their professionalism and confidence gave our entire family peace of mind, and the results of the surgery exceeded our expectations. The staff truly goes above and beyond. What stood out most was the kindness and empathy shown throughout the entire process. Dr. Jewell never made my mom feel like "just another patient." They treated her with dignity, warmth, and incredible attention to detail. That level of care means everything when someone is facing breast cancer and such a life-changing surgery. We are forever grateful for the strength, comfort, and outstanding medical care Dr. Jewell provided. I would recommend them to anyone looking for not only an incredibly talented plastic surgeon, but also a doctor with a truly compassionate heart.

I had a terrible experience with a previous surgeon, being a breast cancer survivor, it was pretty traumatizing. Naturally I was very nervous about getting the result I was looking for (this second go around), however it didn't take long for him and his staff, to have me feeling at ease. Dr. Newmans staff is top notch, so professional and beyond kind, from the ladies that called for appointment reminders, to the front desk staff, to the lady that was in the room with me and Dr. Newman during my consult. Dr. Newman, himself, is very soft spoken, kind and has such a good energy about him. He took his time and listened to exactly what I wanted to achieve. He asked me numerous questions and discussed in great detail what he would do to help me achieve the results I was looking for. The surgical center staff did not disappoint either. Summer was my nurse and she was absolutely amazing! So sweet, kept me very comfortable and warm while I waited for Dr. Newman. She was so good, I didn't even feel her put the IV in my arm (which is hard to find with my small veins). Dr. Patel was my Anesthesiologist (she's amazing). She called me a few days prior to my surgery and talked to me for about 30 minutes, going over everything she would do, the day of surgery, and really took her time discussing things I could do to ensure a Speedy recovery. On the day of my surgery She made me feel so comfortable and at ease! When I got home from surgery and was able to take my bra off and see my results, I cried happy tears. They look better than I had imagined. He gave me the lift I was looking for, without looking fake. Everything about them is perfect and symmetrical (which can be tricky, since I had a previous lumpectomy). Not only did I look amazing, I had the speediest recovery ever. I had very minimal swelling, no drains, only had to take 1 pain pill the night of the surgery and one the next night. I took Advil for 2 days and that was it. He is an absolute master of his craft and I will be referring any and everyone that Is looking for a plastic surgeon. Dr. Newman is the best!!!!

I'm a woman of a certain age, and about 10 years ago I promised myself that when I retired I would…read moreget a few procedures done on my tired and saggy self in order to live my last twenty years with some form of renewed physical confidence. Well, that time inevitably arrived and I found that it was only my face and neck that bothered me. I began the search to find the right surgeon for the work, and shelled out quite a bit of money in consultation fees with highly rated local surgeons. What ended up mattering was the "vibe" of the office, the time the surgeon spent on the consultation, and the quality of his assessment of my face and neck. My goal was to look like like a less wrinkled version of myself. I did not want to look "done." All my questions were answered and all my concerns addressed by Dr. Newman. I also loved the consistently positive nursing and office staff. I don't remember the day of the surgery with any accuracy, but I will say that the anesthesiologist Dr. Patel was incredibly kind and forthcoming. She made sure that I knew exactly what to expect. I'm very happy that I chose Dr, Michael Newman for this work. I'm nearly two months out from my neck and jawline surgery and I am so pleased. I also had an Erbium laser treatment (since I'd already be under anesthesia), so the recovery was a little tough on my thin skin. During this time, Dr. Newman and his staff basically babied me (because I AM a baby about this stuff) and he answered every anxious question with a zen-like calm. Every time I left the office, I felt a thousand times better. Dr. Newman's skillful talent is evident in my natural result, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

WOW They are perfect! I am so happy with my results. I got exactly what I asked for…read more I had little to no boobs to begin with, one slightly larger than the other with a little asymmetry. Dr. Diaz has the hands of an angel, I barely bruised post surgery, and my body took to the implants really well. I got 255 cc on my left and 275 cc on my right moderate plus profile natrelle silicone implants under the muscle. They look so cute, youthful and natural. I wanted a classy and elegant look that would keep the length of my chest and that's exactly what I got + corrected asymmetry. I no longer feel like a 12 year old boy lol! It has totally built my confidence and I can now wear all the things I've wanted to wear with zero insecurities. I love looking in the mirror :) Thank you so much Dr. DIaz and everyone who works at the office!

This is an update 5 years later after my rhinoplasty with Dr. Diaz where I still love my nose!…read more Due to the asymmetries in my face and thickness of skin, the final healed results were at about 99% of what I expected. I called Dr. Diaz's office to confirm if this was normal and if anything had happened to not achieve the perfect results expected. Dr. Diaz called and explained everything perfectly and removed all of my concerns. Dr. Diaz is truly one of the best plastic surgeons, and a rhinoplasty is like trying to do surgery on a moving target. To solve for the final 1% of my concern, I was invited to speak to him for a revision in the future if needed. This is all to say, he is truly the best and while 99.999% of his results are all home runs, sometimes very complex noses (like mine) have a slightly almost perfect result and that is OKAY! Absolutely nothing to do with his amazing expertise or the amazing team. If you have any concerns, please call the office directly rather than leave a negative review out of emotion, trust me it's a win-win and also a practice of self love!

I inquired through the website about the procedure I'm interested in, and they responded quickly. Barbie is excellent; she answered my questions, scheduled my appointment with the doctor right away, and provided the quote with all the details. At my first visit, Barbie welcomed me immediately, and she's just lovely. I truly feel taken care of. She took me to her office and introduced me to Dr. Jimmy Firouz. Dr. Firouz is amazing; he listens to every concern and question I have. What I like most is that he wasn't pushy about sales. I have some specific areas I'm concerned about, like buccal fat removal and nasolabial folds. Still, he told me, "No, you don't need that, but if it bothers you, there's another alternative"--something I appreciate the most. Long story short, I decided to move forward with Dr. Firouz. Every time I visit his office, he reassures me that I'm in good hands and tells me not to worry because this is a very important decision for me. It's my first time having such major procedures, so I truly value his reassurance. The location is very convenient, right in the city center. Parking is also free for an hour--I believe it's in the next building, not the one Dr. Jimmy is in. They also accept cash and credit cards with no 3% fee, plus payment plans.

I was referred to Dr. Hicks by one of my Crossfit buddies. She told me he was great and he had a payment plan I was so excited. I made an appointment immediately for a consultation. I scheduled my procedure for December 14, 2019. I met with him a week before my surgery and I was able to ask him questions and discuss any concerns that I may have. He was honest and realistic in what outcome could be expected for my condition. I really appreciated his honesty. However, the results were better than I could every imagine. I received a Christmas card from the office wishing me Merry Christmas and a speedy recovery. If that wasn't enough, Dr. Hicks called me 3 days post op to check on me and one of his staff members called me 4 days post op to check one me. I went in weekly for about 3 weeks to be checked. He cleared me to receive Lymphatic drainage massages by Malena. I highly recommend these massages. The massages helped me to stand up straighter, decreased swelling, decreased soreness and just felt good. I had stretch marks above my navel so those remain, but they're not very visible and I can rock a two piece with no shame to my game. My body is summer ready. My scar is barley visible and I am looking fierce. I highly recommend Dr. Hicks. He's in Long Beach and I didn't have to go deep in the heart of Beverly Hills to get snatched.

I don't typically leave negative reviews, but I wanted to share my experience because I know how…read morestressful it is choosing a plastic surgeon, and I hope this helps someone else. From the moment I arrived, the entire consultation felt surprisingly impersonal. Most of my appointment was spent with very young staff members rather than the surgeon himself. By the time I actually met with Dr. Barrett, it was only for about five minutes. He was pleasant and professional, but the entire experience felt rushed and transactional. I left almost feeling like it was a fever dream, it was over so quickly that I walked away confused instead of confident. The biggest disappointment was being told that the only way I would have a good breast augmentation result was with a lollipop lift and implants. I wasn't told this as an option it was presented as essentially the only option that would look good for my anatomy. I left feeling discouraged and thinking I didn't really have a choice. Thankfully, I listened to my gut and scheduled consultations with other highly respected, board-certified plastic surgeons. Every other surgeon had a different perspective. I ultimately chose another extremely reputable surgeon who recommended Motiva Ergonomix implants placed over the muscle (subfascial). He explained that because I had only mild pseudo-ptosis, the implant itself would provide the subtle lift and upper-pole fullness I was looking for without requiring a lollipop lift. I'm now on the other side of surgery, and I could not be happier with my results. I got exactly the look I wanted, avoided unnecessary scars, and didn't need the more invasive procedure I had been told was my only option. To be clear, I don't think Dr. Barrett was unkind. He was nice during the brief time we spoke. My issue was that the consultation felt rushed, impersonal, and left me feeling defeated rather than educated. Looking back, I'm so grateful I sought additional opinions before making such an important decision. My biggest advice to anyone considering cosmetic surgery is this: please get multiple consultations. One surgeon's opinion is not always the only answer. I'm incredibly thankful I kept looking because I'm absolutely thrilled with the surgeon I chose and my results.

I am so glad a friend referred me to Dr. Walker!…read more Dr. Walker is a gifted surgeon, a very good doctor, a compassionate listener and a lovely person, and his work is truly artful. I saw him for upper eyelid surgery and I am very happy with the results. He shaped my eyes so beautifully - better than what I was born with before the skin sagged, but natural-looking, nothing exotic but still making a pleasing difference. He has the aesthetic sense of a sculptor, and the shape of my eyes now compliments the proportions of my face. I hope he will offer facelifts, and I would wait for his availability because I'd feel so confident that I am in good hands and that I wouldn't have to worry about the outcome. I honestly think he is that good. The procedure was great from the beginning to the end. He started with an attentive consultation, which instantly put my worries at ease. I left well-informed and prepared. During surgery, he provided a safe environment with his kindness and calm confidence - this was important to me, because I had a rather traumatizing surgery experience in the past. He provided some medication to manage anxiety, but he was mindful with the use of medication - no reckless medication use but no unnecessary stress or pain. After surgery, my eyes became irritated and he was on the phone with me right away, treating the condition skillfully and carefully. His aftercare was more thorough than anything I've experienced before. Healing was fast as well. My friend said I looked like I just returned from a one-year-vacation, and it was only three days after surgery. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about him. He is the kind of surgeon you want for yourself, your mother, and your best friend.
