My husband recently had a brow lift + mini face lift and only 9 days out he's "almost ready" for public viewing. Dr. V's attention to detail with all his incisions being in his hairline and on the forehead they're going to be virtually invisible once the healing is finished. He's a real perfectionist and we're glad our friends recommended him. My husband is already thrilled with the results and anticipating looking even younger than he already does. Every question we had was answered at length and we never felt rushed. His office staff (Cora and Jenny) are both great. I'll be going back to get injections in my lips soon. read more

Dr. Vipond is wonderful! He is so kind, helpful, and genuinely listens to what you want without ever being pushy. He takes the time to explain all your options, answer every question, and make you feel completely at ease. I always leave feeling confident and cared for. Highly recommend! Regarding the review below: Wow! That certainly doesn't sound like any of my or my friends' experiences with Dr. Vipond. It sounds like its more like a character assasination attempt or trying to extort him for "lost wages". Dr. Vipond has always taken his time to explain my treatment options, what could be expected for recovery, and has never pushed me to have something done. He has also been happy to see me or answer any of my questions after having something done. read more

Horrible Co2 fracture Laser gone terribly!! I Apologize l don't have a positive outcome! My skin was on fire for 9 weeks! I was told 2 wk recovery that's all.The term wasn't what l expected. I can't wear makeup, it doesn't absorb into my skin, l have what is called (melted run off skin!)l couldn't work during this time because all the fumes from chemicals, l was home bound for 8 months, and l have a long way to heal. I requested a refund, Vipond denied it!! Vipond shouted out "God damn it!)could have been heard through out the entire Medical Center! My reimbursement would be pennies to Vipond. This wasn't my first experience, but is my last! (ln business) the client should be reimbursed! Period! I went to pick up my file, it was sloppy copied with smeared ink throughout the file! So disappointed! read more

This review is long overdue. I have been going to Dr. Vipond for many years and he is the greatest. Starting with his receptionist Cora, who is a joy, I always feel welcome and comfortable at my appointments. Dr. Vipond takes the time to really listen, answer my questions and explain procedures. I never feel rushed. I don't want to give away my secrets but I have to say I feel 10-15 years younger after leaving his office. That's the kind of care and magic he offers! read more

I had never done Botox or fillers but I wanted to give it a try so I made an appointment with Dr. Vipond. His office is conveniently located and his staff is very nice and helpful. I was very pleased with the service I received, and it was good to know that the doctor does all of the injectables himself, he does not have a nurse do it - like most other offices, so you're getting all of the doctor's training and experience when he does it versus a nurse. It's a bit pricey but overall I was pleased with my results. He does a wonderful job of explaining everything and answers any questions prior so you're completely comfortable knowing what's going to happen. Give them a call to get a little "refresh"! read more

My favorite Doctor! Dr. Vipond is amazing he values your opinion and never lets me over do it! I love my lips!! Thankyou soo much Dr.Vipond, Kuna, Jenny, and Kora. Best team in the Inland empire!!! read more

Dr. Vipond is very friendly and easy answers any questions. Cora at the front desk was very nice.

I am so happy with my results. I added lip tattoo to my lip lift a year later with a tattoo artist! Petfecto!!!!

I wanted to write a review on VIP Facial Artistry because I am so pleased with the process and results from my fractional laser treatment. Dr. Vipond and his staff walked me through everything I should be doing before my treatment as well as daily messages after to insure I was comfortable. The laser itself did not hurt but rather stung in some spots. Before leaving the office I received all I would need to fully recover. It has now been almost a month and my skin is evenly toned, with smaller sized pores and my under eye color greatly improved. I am very happy I chose to have my treatment done with Dr. Vipond and his staff. read more

The front-desk staff are attentive and friendly. Dr. Vipond takes the time to discuss matters and options with you. A well-informed and honest doctor who has your best interests in mind. read more

Dr Vipond and his whole staff are always kind, caring and respectful. I consider Dr Vipond to be the number one trusted source to turn to for the necessary information in making the right choice regarding any facial surgery or rejuvenation. I recommend him for anyone who wants to continue to "grow young". He is up-to-date in all of the latest facial procedures. He answers all questions and listens to all concerns as he explains both the pros and cons of each and every aesthetic facial concern. I do not hesitate in giving him 5 stars as I was highly pleased with him as the plastic surgeon I trusted to improve my aging look. Facial altering decisions are major, not only for looks, but for comfort, health and safety, too. Thanks Dr Vipond! read more

Wonderful doctor and office staff. They all go the extra mile for their patients. My husband won't go to anyone else for his ENT issues.

I've been a patient of Dr. Vipond's for over a year. He is an excellent doctor and consistently kind and respectful. I've had wonderful care before, during and after my procedures and have been very happy with my results. The office staff (Kuana, Jenny and Cora) are always lovely and accommodating. Also, the office is beautiful, very clean and relaxing! read more

Called in 1st time patient to schedule an appointment I was advised that the DR isn't accepting INSURANCE Covered patients but CASH patients are currently accepted? Am I the only one confused? So my Anthem PPO isn't good enough to cover me? Why would I want a DR that put his pockets before my heath? The Medical Industry as a whole is such a disappointment! read more

I just want to say thank you Dr Vipond for helping me with feel good about wearing my hair back again ! Dr Vipond helped me with earlobe repair on both of my ears as my earlobes as I aged became elongated and unable to even hold an earring. Dr Vipond was amazing ! His bedside manner is calming and reassuring. He is meticulous and has an eye to be able to see what's best for your facial structure. Thank you Dr Vipond and staff !!! read more

Dr Vipond is the BEST!!! I had never considered getting injectables, as I am relatively organic about aging 'gracefully' & have seen the Hollywood missteps. I was referred to Dr. Vipond by a close girlfriend who had used his services - & I would have never known -other than she looked refreshed & softer. During my Consult, he listened to my concerns, tailored the procedure to best suit my goals & was exceptional about explaining every step in detail. His philosophy of conservatively approaching the treatment resonated with me. His front office team were wonderful & all managed my expectations beautifully. The most important part...I am now a week after the procedure & thrilled with the results! It is subtle & no more under eye bags or cover-up :-) THANK YOU Dr. Vipond & team! Anyone considering cosmetic surgery needs to call this extraordinarily talented Dr!!! read more

I was trying to inquire about a consultation and the front desk lady was rude an unpleasant if you don't believe me call for yourself and ask her a question he may be a good doctor I'm sure but this made me unpleasantly welcomed. Someone needs to learn more about customer relations . read more

Where do I start? I sought Dr. Viapond after my surgeon retired. At first I was weary because he was so young. In addition, his btox injections were so painless that I thought he didn't inject anything. Boy was I wrong! I have been getting btox from others for years and no one had ever placed the injections so perfectly as Dr. V. It looks natural and last much longer than ever (which tells me others screw you by over diluting the solution). So impressed with his expertise, knowledge, professionalism and excellent bedside manner, I recently took the leap and got a face-neck lift!!! After a lot of research and careful consideration, I knew he was the only one I could trust. I wanted to look younger but also very natural and that's exactly what I got. As a male in the public eye, I needed to get my edge back. I truly look 15 years younger and now my appearance is in harmony with my youthful spirit- the best thing I ever did. People really can't place there finger on it and most just say that I look so fresh and happy. Now I don't know why all those famous folks pay exuberant prices for botched jobs, but I know I got the best for much less! I tell everyone to "get him while he's cheap, before everyone finds out and his prices increase". Since my experience, I have had three close friends who have done the same and are experiencing the same incredible results. I never write these things but I felt compelled- Dr. Viapond gave me a new start/ my life back!!! I look and feel the best I ever have. I really can't say enough about Dr. V. He is a real miracle worker. I have learned that he is constantly attending conferences where he presents and learns the latest techniques and procedures to maximize the benefit he brings to his patients. Go see the rest first but settle with the best- you will never regret. P.S. Kudos to his office staff too!!! Thank you DR. V.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) read more

I have seen Dr. Vipond for both ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) as well as purely cosmetic appointments. Both times were excellent. Dr. Vipond is a very caring and informative doctor who makes sure that you understand everything regarding what your issue is and the background behind it as well as the details of the treatment he recommends. The entire staff is friendly and makes sure that you are taken care of from beginning to end. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I was a new patient of Dr. Vipond's and have been struggling with acne for a few years. I recently started to break out along my cheeks, and the current medications I was using weren't helping. Dr. Vipond was very informative and thorough. He answered all my questions and recommended the Spectra Acne Peel. After just one treatment my skin has noticeably improved, especially around my cheeks! The staff was also really accommodating, and I will definitely come back! read more

Gregory J Vipond, MD - Before and after treatment - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Claremont, California

Dr. Vipond's skill at facial artistry is over the top!! I'm coming up on one-year post surgery for a lower face and neck lift as well as laser eye rejuvenation and my experience with Dr. Vipond and his office team has been nothing short of "amazing". He was recommended by a close friend as we started talking about potential procedures, she shared firsthand experience and that of other friends and family she'd recommended to his office, how delighted they all were with their Dr. Vipond experience. She didn't need to say anymore, I made a call the next day and was able to schedule an appointment the following week...so excited!! A warm and friendly welcome by Cora and Jenny, we're off to a great first impression and it just gets better from that point on!! The consultation was extremely thorough and I felt very comfortable at the onset. The appointment lasted 2 plus hours, not the norm most likely, professional "and" personal, an in-depth discussion with Dr. Vipond and the Director of Patient Care, Kauna, of my expectations, concerns, what exactly was I looking to achieve overall, the potential longevity of results, as well as pre and post op patient care. Dr. Vipond described his technique as a more conservative approach for optimal "natural" looking results...no "wind tunnel" look. He definitely delivered!! The post op and follow up patient care has no comparison in my experience. My results are exactly what I'd hoped for, the down time was minimal and the scarring is non-existent, an amazingly skilled surgeon!! If you're contemplating any type of facial or neck procedure, he is a must "consult" before making your final decision. It's the best thing I've ever done!! read more

Dr. Vipond is wonderful!! I would recommend him to anyone. He is so careful and extremely caring. I am so grateful to call him my doctor!! I went to Arcadia Medical Spa where I received a botched procedure. If it wasnt for Dr. Vipond I would still look deformed. I owe him a lot of thanks and gratitude.. read more

I got a tonsillectomy about a week ago and being my first surgery I was very concerned about every little incident with my throat. Every time I had a concern Dr. Vipond seemed to be ready by the phone to help me out which was an amazing relief. The reviews I've read regarding this procedure involve lots of pain and bleeding post operation, however Dr.Vipond was so gentel and thorough that I have experienced barely any of these negative tendencies. He is very compassionate, thorough in explanation and based on results great at what he does. Best doctor I've encountered. read more

I wish I could pick less then one star! I've been going to Milestones therapy for pediatrics for over 2 years., this "buissness" is next door. And they have the most rude and disrespectful employees ever that work there at cosmetic surgeons., my son is non verbal and is starting to make noises and try to speak and they decided to put signs all over the building saying " quiet zone ?!" That is insane and so in appropriate! I wish my son could say one single word and they have REPEATEDLY made comments in my ear view saying how annoying the kids are next door ?! Really!? Hopefully the people who attend or give them buissness aren't as ugly as the workers ... and want to be as beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. I am so ashamed of the people who work for Gregory j Vipond !!! read more

My experience was awful my results lasted 6 months and I paid a fortune, I received questions from beauticians asking why the Doctor left my neck sagging .Others said my face looked like it fell.I went back and asked the Doctor to fix the sag however he refused stating it looked natural .I hadn't planned on needing more work so fast.Another Doctor said at best the Doctor was just to conservative.Im very dissapionted with my results and during surgery I heard the Doctor chatting with he's brand new assistant, perhaps he should have kept he's eye on he's patient more the paying consumer . read more

I've been seeing Dr. Vipond for many years and now a lot of my friends see him too because he is the best! Honest, warm, trustworthy, and ethical. I have done the Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing with him three times and will continue to get that procedure done every 2 years or so. The results have been well worth the time and money. I am very happy with Dr. Vipond and his team! read more

Dr. Vipond and his lovely staff have treated me like family since the first day I visited the office. Everyone is very professional and caring, and Dr. Vipond is a true artist. I went to Dr Vipond when I realized that I was looking much older than I am. I know it is normal aging, but I also battle poor genetics. At 54 I was planning my second facelift! I loved the fact that Dr Vipond performs the procedure in his office. This means no general anesthesia, and is much safer. Before the procedure, the staff explained what I would feel during and after. They were accurate, and it gave me comfort as I healed. I was completely comfortable during the entire procedure, and was aware that the staff was playing my favorite Hawaiian music. The healing process was simple compared to my first procedure fifteen years earlier. I was out in public one week post op. The best thing about Dr. Vipond ' s work is that I look like myself...just younger. I do not look stretched, or strange. I look like me fifteen years ago. I had extensions put in my hair the week after my procedure; most people think I look younger because of the hair. This is perfect, as it means I don't look like I've had surgery. If you are considering facial plastic surgery, I urge you to visit Dr. Vipond at VIP Facial Artistry. He and his staff will take great care of you! JeriLynn S. read more

I read one recent negative review. I'm sorry. That review was like that person went to another doctor. None of the things said have ever even remotely been experienced by me or any of my 5 friends who have gone to dr. Vipond. He is an extremely caring, extremely expert in his field. So is his amazing staff. Had two amazing facial surgeries from him. No one, I mean no one thinks I am 60. I continue with him for cosmetic injections with amazing results. Plus had an ear issue which has never recurred again after treatment. Sorry to hear that criticism, but it's just not true. read more

I have had the best experience with Dr. Vipond so far and the results have been great. His team is very helpful and welcoming and they all put in a lot of effort to make you feel at home and take care of you after treatments. Dr. Vipond's wife is very sweet and put my mind at ease before my procedure. They honestly care for their patients and help me out in every way they possibly can. I will continue to go to this office for anything I need done. I would highly recommend everyone to come here. Mahalo read more

Talked to a Lady Kauna. Her customer service is horrible. As a patient, I need several services done but will not pay a cent for someone who is rude and demanding. Lady, please find a different job in a lab where you don't have to talk to people or matter of fact, have the Dr. sew your mouth shut. read more

Dr Vipond is absolutely incredible! I never dreamed I could look so natural and youthful during the aging process. He has transformed my aging face. His work is natural, careful, and precise. No one has any idea I have had anything done, and what he has done for my appearance has left me more confident as I age. His staff is warm, courteous, and concerned for me. They, along with Dr Vipond, listen to my concerns and guide me to decide what procedure/technique is best for me. I will only allow Dr Vipond to do any procedure. No one is as skilled and educated as he is, and I trust him 100% read more

Very disappointed I been to Doctor Vipond's office once. Had a few cancelled appointments and billing demanded and charged me 50.00 dollars cancel fee.I was shocked asked her to remove it and she said no pay now.I told her I didn't know there office was so money hungry and I would not pay a fee and I will never be going back.Seems like any good customer service here at this office went out the door.Never going back.If she would have gave me a courtesy that would be one thing..But this women in billing is Mean and Rude Be Aware...............I will not tolerate being mistreated by a doctors office. Hope you"re 50.00 dollar charge was worth your time..You lost a great patient! THis office says they value there relationships with there patients..I only went once and was treated horrible by lady in billing!!! Any customer service here went out the door....The lying has to end...... read more

Both Dr. Vipond and his staff are professional, attentive and kind. Dr. Vipond has an excellent bedside manner and is very gentle, knowledgable and thorough. I trust him and would highly recommend him! read more

I had broken my nose and went to an ENT/Plastic Surgeon before going to Dr. Vipon and I was told I needed to wait 8 weeks for the cartilage to settle, then I would need plastic surgery to fix it. Thank god I went to Dr. Vipon for a second opinion. Dr. Vipon immediately saw what the problem was and told me he could fix it but it needed to be done soon. He scheduled me to come in the next day and he fixed my nose. It looks exactly how it did before I broke it. He takes his time and listens to every word you say. He makes you feel very comfortable and explains everything in detail. He definitely earned my trust and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an ENT or Plastic Surgeon. read more

Love Love Dr. Vipond and his staff very impressed :)
