Justin Mikesell has been my dermatologist for the past year and he is always thorough, providing explanations as he goes through the yearly skin exam. He has a warm persona that helps make your visit less stressful. He makes sure you understand any directions for medications, as well as providing possible causes for any conditions that might arise. The front desk staff are also very welcoming and display a great environment during your office visit. I highly recommend Justin and this office. read more

Terrible Business Practices - They Have Officially Lost a Long-Term Patient I absolutely love my provider and genuinely hate the thought of leaving them. I have trusted and valued their personal care for years. Unfortunately, I am no longer willing to give my hard-earned money to a business whose management treats loyal, long-term patients this way. I had a significant procedure scheduled and made a very reasonable request. I asked the office to keep a card on file to secure payment and allow me just a few days to pay with a new credit card that was arriving in the mail. There was no question about my ability or willingness to pay. I simply asked for a brief billing accommodation. Management refused to offer any flexibility whatsoever. Rather than work with an established patient, they gave me no reasonable option except to cancel my appointment. I had intentionally coordinated multiple appointments for the same day to make my care more convenient and efficient. Their rigid policy disrupted those plans and, more importantly, damaged a long-standing relationship with a provider I truly value. As a business owner myself, I find this incredibly short-sighted. Good businesses recognize the value of loyal customers and empower their staff to use reasonable judgment. Policies should protect a business--not drive away established customers over a minor accommodation that creates virtually no risk. This is especially disappointing because my decision has nothing to do with the quality of my provider. I would happily continue seeing them. However, doing so means continuing to financially support a business whose practices I strongly disagree with. I hate to leave a provider I love, but I work hard for my money, and I get to decide which businesses receive it. This one will no longer receive mine. read more

Horrible, absolutely horrible. Never ever go to this office. My daughter had her arms and breasts done., Her breasts were so crooked they had to be redone, the scars on her arms were so thick and noticeable she could not wear short sleeve shirts, he provided absolutely no aftercare. The office was not professional. This was two years ago. Thank goodness she found a skilled professional plastic surgeon who redid Kolders work. She looks wonderful. 3 months after the corrective surgery, she is still receiving aftercare! If you want a caring, skilled, respected plastic surgeon, go to West Coast Plastic Surgery and visit Dr Gordinsky. Do not, do not ever go to Kolder. read more

I went to Dr Kolder to have an implant exchange because I found out that I had a bilateral rupture of my silicone implants. He explained the procedure in a calming way and I am seven weeks postop and absolutely thrilled with the results! I highly recommend him. read more

I'm really happy with the results from my recent visit. I went in for Botox and a few laser treatments, and the experience was top-notch from start to finish. The staff made me feel comfortable right away, and they really took the time to listen to what I wanted to achieve rather than just pushing a standard package. The Botox was quick and precise--exactly the natural look I was hoping for--and the laser treatment was much more comfortable than I expected. I'm already seeing a noticeable difference in my skin texture and tone. It's rare to find a place that balances professional expertise with such a genuine, friendly atmosphere. I'll definitely be back. read more

Over 1 year post-op, and I could not be happier with the final results from my procedure. I had a lower face and neck lift and C02 Laser around my mouth. Before having this surgery done, I consulted with 3 other doctors and read countless reviews. During this time, I was chatting with a good friend. She mentioned she just had a similar procedure done. I wanted to know everything, and I could not wait to see her. A few weeks later, she came over and WOW! We have known one another for years; she looked like a refreshed, younger version of her beautiful self. This is exactly what I was looking for. We also "tested" her new look on a friend who did not know she had this done. When our mutual friend walked in, the first words out of her mouth were, "You look great". We then spilled the beans and told her about the procedure. When I saw firsthand the natural results that were achieved, I made an appointment to meet with Dr. Kolder. We spoke at length about what I was unhappy with and my desire to have the most natural appearance. I was 61 at the time and wanted the clock rolled back 7-10 years. Still looking age-appropriate, but erasing some of the gravity's effect on me. I'm a very straightforward person, and I very much appreciated Dr. Kolder's directness. He was very clear about setting expectations regarding my expected results. The decision to go with Dr. Kolder was made with careful consideration and after seeing results firsthand. Now, 1 year later, friends will comment about how good I look. I don't mind. ;-) I'm not shy about sharing that I had some help. I was treated with the utmost care from Dr. Kolder and the entire staff at Pacifica Plastic Surgery.  I have, and will continue to, wholeheartedly refer him to others without hesitation. read more

I was always so nervous and unsure about plastic surgery but having Dr. Kolder and his team walk me through the process and answer all of my questions made me feel so at ease. If you're thinking of getting plastic surgery my suggestion is call and make a consultation appointment, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. read more

Dr Dharia is a great dermatologist. He's very thorough and listened to and answered all my concerns. I've had 3 moles removed by him in my last two appointments and he was caring but efficient with removing the moles for biopsy. Dr Dharia is professional yet very caring. The office staff is very helpful and friendly. Office is very nice and feels like a spa. I'd highly recommend Dr Dharia and this office. read more

Dr. Kolder came highly recommended, but my experience is that he bungled my tummy tuck, brushed off all my concerns, did nothing to help me resolve them, and his terrible results have ruined my life. I am deformed and disabled, in pain all the time, unable to enjoy the activities I previously engaged in, I have lost all interest in physical pursuits because they are painful and uncomfortable, and I am extremely depressed thinking about living the rest of my life this way. I'd take my fat belly over this any day and totally regret going to him. read more

The team at Pacifica Institute is amazing!!! I see Candy regularly and not only are all of them kind, caring and professional, but they are extremely reasonable. It's always a great experience going there!!! I highly recommend them!!!! :) read more

Great job! It's been 3 years now since Dr. Kolder removed my implants. Everything went perfectly. I am happy with the results. I highly recommend. Thanks Dr. Kolder!!! read more

candy is the best! the team including Alan make me feel so special everytime I come in.

Hands down the greatest plastic surgery spot in town! I had consultations with 2 other doctors before landing on Dr. Kolder. He was the CLEAR choice. Of course, he is an expert in his field and gave me a consultation and was clear about expectations, and results. He answered every question clearly. Importantly, Geena the surgery consultant gave me a professional folder with everything right in it....pricing, financing, dates, etc. I say importantly because, in my opinion, the other 2 plastic surgery offices were sloppy! (appt times unclear, office wait time too long, sent home w/ doctor's handwritten notes which even as a seasoned nurse I couldn't read!, no professional folder). My face lift came out GREAT. I do not look like I am in a state of shock like the facelifts of yester-year. I look beautiful and natural. One lady simply asked "what do you do to keep your youth?" . I went back to Dr.Kolder for a breast lift revision (EXCELLENT results!) and then.....you guessed it....I went back a THIRD time for a tummy tuck. He showed me exactly what to expect and also what not to expect. He showed me how my belly button would look like in advance. (my belly button was fine but honestly, this one is nicer, lol). Plastic surgery is NOT making cookies or hamburger patties!!!! Dr. Kolder is a skilled surgeon SCULPTING your body! He gets it as perfect as he possibly can! Let me say a shout out to the superior staff members also who walk you through the whole process....beginning, during and after. I highly recommend Dr. Kolder, his staff, and Candy the Botox and filler lady. She is also on the premises. Big thanks, Big smile! read more

Dr Kolder is a good doctor; but he is not a great doctor. His staff is attentive. He performed breast reconstruction in 2020 after chemotherapy for cancer and mastectomy surgery on my left side. That initial mastectomy surgery was performed immediately before undergoing radiation treatment. The radiation treatment caused my tissue and implant to rise and I had whole body symptoms including pain and whole body inflammation that were attributed to my cancer treatment. After few years in April 2024, I decided on a preventative mastectomy on right side with Dr. Kolder at which time I expressed desire to lift right side to match left breast and he assured me he could make it happen without a problem. After the surgery on my last follow-up I asked when I should replace them he said "Never they're virtually indestructible, You can even run them over and there would be no damage." I felt quite assured and relieved that I had made the right decision. Although I was unhappy about the asymmetry. After the surgery he said well you can't expect it to be the same because you haven't had radiation on the right side and we wouldn't give you radiation just to make it match. I expressed my understanding, but that's not what he had told me he could do prior to the surgery. But, I conceded to my unbalanced asymmetric proportions in exchange for peace of mind. A few months later in early October 2024, I experienced whole body shock of pain that radiated from my breasts down my spine! Thereafter, it was constant and persistent whole-body pain, excruciating shocks, neuropathy, basically from my head to toes discomfort and unease with whole body inflammation. I visited Dr. Kolder on October 24th and expressed that I felt that the implants were the cause of my health issues. He dismissed my feelings, basing his response on knowledge after reviewing the Xrays and let me know that the implants were perfect and made of a non-reactive material that could not possibly cause allergic reactions within the body. As a matter of fact, he was so sure about this that he said -- in all truthfulness and I quote (with a witness in the room), "I will bet you my Ferrari that the implants are not the source of your troubles!" He also spoke to me of other patients who have been disfigured by removing the implants with him and were unpleased with their decision and results. Nevertheless, he was willing to take me down that path. I thanked him for his service and left his office. That was the last time that I spoke with Dr. Daniel Kolder. Afterwards, I sought the opinion of various highly regarded Plastic Surgeons in the Los Angeles and New York areas. I was surprised to find out about breast implant illness which included my symptoms. Several diagnosed me with implant capsular contracture on both left and right side. My MRI did not show any implant leaks or ruptures, the other plastic surgeons I saw shared that some of their other previous patients also did not show any implant damage on the MRI. Several Plastic Surgeons explained that most of the patients that had come to them and were experiencing breast implant illness had profound relief of many symptoms after their implant removal (aka: explant). But, they could not guarantee that the removal of the implants would provide me with whole body pain relief. All the other plastic surgeons I saw confirmed time and time again that implants should not be kept for over 10 years! Along the way, I also discovered breast reconstruction technique using microsurgery called DIEP Flap reconstruction using your own tissue was an option. I listened to my gut and removed (explanted) both implants put in by Dr. Kolder. After surgery it is normal to feel pain and discomfort. But, I am not kidding you but the next day after surgery I felt better than I had felt in years!! Nearly all of my pain was gone within a week! And guess what, the surgeon said that my lymph nodes and surrounding tissue were "laden" with silicone and were "reactive!" Not only was my gut instinct confirmed with that, but in addition one of my implants had a never before seen stringy, brownish colored dark spot (within) inside the implant as documented on my surgical report. I was so grateful and relieved to have those implants removed! Since then, I have continued feeling better, becoming stronger and healthier! My advice to anyone is to go for a great plastic surgeon, do not settle on anything less. If I knew then what I know now, that's what I would have done and I hope that this review will help you make an informed and the best decision for your health. My only regret now is that I should have asked for the Pink slip to his Ferrari, because I would have won that bet. *Thank you for reading my review. My only hope is to help others and my intent is to speak the truth of my unique experience.* read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience from beginning to end with Dr Kolder and the staff (especially Lupita) at Pacifica Center for Plastic Surgery! I was nervous when I first went in to talk with Dr Kolder, to see if he and his team were the right fit for me. I had lots of questions about my procedure and he took the time to listen to my concerns and explained the process clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable. I was very specific about the look I wanted and even went back a few times to sit with Dr Kolder and make sure I was making the right choice. He was always so supportive and genuine. Flash forward 6 months and I am absolutely thrilled with my results!! I am so happy I made the choice to not only do this for me and my confidence, but so glad I picked Dr Kolder and his team. Thank you! read more

I just want to share the amazing experience I had with Dr.Kolder office. From start to finish, the entire team was incredible--kind, patient, and always informative. They answered all my questions and made me feel truly cared for every step of the way. Dr.Kolder is simply amazing. He did a beautiful job on my Mommy Makeover, and I couldn't be happier with my results. I feel confident, refreshed, and so thankful for the care I received. I highly recommend Dr.Kolder and his office to anyone considering a positive, life-changing transformation! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Kolder and his practice! I had 2 consultations before deciding to choose this practice for my breast augmentation. 6 months post op now and I couldn't be happier with the results.

The ladies at the office are also wonderful, scheduling and financing are easy and all of my questions were thoughtfully answered. Thank you again Dr! read more

BEWARE this is not a doctor!!! I had a Tummy tuck and he gave me DOG ears and completely screwed up my abdominal so bad that my lap band had to be removed. I had to have emergency surgery and was hospitalized for 4 days. Not including the amount of money I paid for this screwed up of a so called tummy tuck. He is the board of directors so if you have any problems guess who you'd be talking to?!! Wild guess. Do not use this human !!! Please Run!! read more

Six weeks ago I had a facelift and a laser procedure by Dr. Daniel Kolder. I love my results! I will be turning 70 soon and wasn't happy about the wrinkles and lines on my face and neck. I would look in the mirror and ask myself, "When did I get so old and tired looking?" It was depressing for me. I decided to go for a consultation with Dr. Kolder. I was very pleased that he took so much time with me explaining what he could do to give me a natural, more youthful appearance. He and his staff were kind and patient with my questions. The day of the surgery I was made very comfortable and was well cared for by Dr. Kolder and his team. I now look in the mirror and feel energized by my fresh and younger looking face and neck. I highly recommend Dr. Kolder for your cosmetic surgery needs. Sharon read more

Ok, so nine years ago, Dr Kolder did my facelift. It was a great success and I have recommended him to so many of my friends and colleagues. My lift still looks great but I recently began to notice a few things that could use some help. But first and foremost is always health. I was overdue for a mole check. So I booked an appointment at Dr. Kolder's office (Pacifica Center for Plastic Surgery) with Dr. Rahil Dharia, Board Certified Dermatologist and Fellowship trained Mohs Micrographic Surgeon, for a checkup. I could not recommend him more highly. He saw both my husband and me, was professional, calm, and very knowledgeable. We then popped into the medspa to get a bit of Botox from Candy Duffy, R.N., an Aesthetic Nurse Specialist. Again, a wonderful experience. We felt confident in booking another procedure with her and the results were fantastic. She is a perfectionist in her work. I wholeheartedly recommend her. It's so nice to have all specialists in one place, all excellent and highly recommended. So, what did I specifically have done? Ok, I'll tell you. I needed the small lines around my mouth filled, and I got a little braver and had a conservative amount of filler in my upper lip. Candy did exactly what I wanted. It enhanced my look but no "trout or monkey mouth." Whether you are looking for plastic surgery, need a dermatologist or a just a little refresher, I recommend Drs Kolder, Dharia and Candy Duffy, R.N. All available in one place! read more

So, I've been coming to Dr. Kolder and his office for over a year now. Every time I've been to this office I'm always warmly greeted, made comfortable/feel comfortable and I look forward to seeing this wonderful place and their exceptional staff. I've done profractional laser treatments to my forehead and nose for acne scars. I'm not gonna lie it does hurt. Over the course of a year I've had 7 of these treatments. I noticed some change, but it wasn't as aggressive as I wanted. Long story short.... I had a scar revision to one specific scar affecting my self esteem and pretty much everything in my life. One bad scar can change and affect your personality, I know, it's saddened me for the last 4years I've had it. So we do my revision, and on a tough spot, for goodness sakes it's not only my face, but my nose. Dr. Kolder did a really nice job on the revision, it's healing nicely and after a few days I had my stitches out. Scar looks as though that #*+ch is outta here. Looking forward to doing some more healing. for the next couple of weeks I'm supposed to massage my nose until my follow up appointment. I'll leave a new review after my follow up. read more

I just had my 2 year check up for my breast reduction, and all is perfect! I went from a DDD, to a C, which is exactly what I requested. I got a "lift" at the same time, which looks really great! Dr. Kolders staff, in Camarillo, and now in SANTA BARBARA, (Yaaaay!), are courteous, professional and very helpfull. They all helped to make an otherwise scary day into a great experience. My thanks to you! I highly recommend Dr Kolder for your breast reduction! read more
