    Dr. Hardesty did my remove and replace breast augmentation on July 3rd. I am 6 days post op and I feel AMAZING! From the 1st moment I walked into his office to get my consultation, to the moment I left the surgery center, they treated me like family. I had 12 year old saline implants, and one had ruptured in April due to a mammogram. When I went for my consultation, Dr Hardesty was professional, caring and listened to all my concerns and what I was hoping my final look to be. I went with the "gummies" which I highly recommend. The entire office staff is amazing: sweet, knowledgeable, and professional. Narsel, the nurse, spent a lot of time with me making sure I got the perfect size for me and my body frame and that I was 100% happy. Elizabeth was wonderful about explaining the financial process, and the whole staff remembered who I was after only one visit. I was nervous the day of surgery, but the staff and Dr Hardesty put me at ease. I could not possibly be more pleased with my results! They look exactly as I imagined and had explained to Dr the look I was going for. My pain was very minimal, I have next to no bruising, and I was up and moving the day of surgery with no issues (still following Dr's orders, of course). Dr even gives you his cell number to text him with any concerns post op. Who does that?! No one! That is just one reason he is the best! I go to echocardiogram school, and I was fine to go to school the following weekend. At school, all my classmates said how amazing I looked and at least 6 of my fellow students asked for Dr Hardesty's contact information for a breast augmentation consult. I highly recommend if you are thinking about ANY cosmetic procedure, go see Dr. Hardesty! He is the BEST and his bedside manner matches his surgical skills! 10/10 would recommend him to anyone seeking cosmetic surgery. He did my daughter's breast implants 3 years ago, and she did as amazing as well. If you want your surgery done right and would like to go to a surgeon and an office that makes you feel like family, do yourself a favor and book a free consultation!

    This is my left breast where my implant had fallen out from my breast pocket right after surgery. Pic was taken months after.

    Unfortunately I got a beyond botched boob job :( I am a young single mom who had been wanting a breast augmentation for years!!! I always wished I could wear dresses that showed cleavage but never had the big boobs for them. I saved up for years and when I was just $1500 short I sold my car so I can get this augmentation done. So you can understand how badly I wanted this. Getting my surgery done here has been my biggest life regret. Not only did I lose $8,000 that I spent years saving but I'm disfigured and mutilated on both of my breast PERMANTLY because I can't afford to get this corrected by someone else. I wasn't self conscious before, I just wanted bigger boobs and now I'm so self conscious I can't even wear a top that shows cleavage without people seeing my mutilation. I can't get intimate with people because of this.. I can't wear bikinis... this surgery has made me cry myself to sleep many nights. Immediately after my surgery I noticed the implant on my left breast fell out of out the breast pocket. I texted Dr. Hardesty a picture and he told me I had a 80% chance it would correct itself without me needing surgery again. The next thing I noticed was I had a huge crease on the right side of my breast. It looks hideous. He told me there's nothing he can do about the crease because it's "the anatomy of my body" that's the problem not the boob job and he said he would try his best to make it look better. After 8 months passed it was finally time for my second surgery by Dr. Hardesty so he could fix the issues. I was so excited for this date I waited 8 long months!! I was counting down the months then the weeks and then the days! I was so happy to finally get them fixed I cried the day of my surgery because I thought finally I don't have to feel ugly and embarrassed! I couldn't afford anesthesia I could only afford the surgery where I was awake (THANK GOD) because after he finished and sutured me back up, I looked in the mirror and had a panic attack because the breast with the crease looked 5x worse than before. He told me it was because he put extra sutures in and that there's a chance the crease would go away once the sutures dissolved by why would I risk that?? Why would I risk the crease being worse and not going away just like it didn't go away the first time when he told me I had a 80% my other breast would correct itself. I couldn't trust his chances. So he opened me back up for a 3rd time to attempt to make the crease less noticeable. My left breast now looks okay but my right breast still has a ugly crease and on top of that now my nipple is completely pointing to the left and is on the left side of my boob. It looks worse than before. My left nipple is still lifted and perfectly centered so when you look at both my boobs at the same time you see one normal one and the other one is so uneven with the nipple way lower by inches and all the way to the side of the boob. My nipple wasn't messed up like this after my first surgery by him just my second one. So not only do you see the ugly crease but you see completely unsymmetrical and uneven nipples. In the pictures I've attached you'll see my before picture at the end. Through my entire experience Dr.Hardesty was also very forgetful. He would tell me one thing at one visit and then totally contradict himself and tell me something opposite at the next visit and this happened often. I recommend he takes notes during each appointment so he can remember what was discussed.. out of the 15 times I was at his office he only took notes my first visit and the visit right before my surgery. That made me feel not important because I felt like he was always in a rush and kept trying to seem like my major concerns were no big deal because there was a chance they would correct themselves and if not he would do his best to fix it. He also told me he doesn't know why the crease is there and my breast never had a crease before the surgery. Since he worked on my right breast 3 times I now have nerve damage. Anytime something touched my right side I get a shocking pain and same thing when I try lifting my arm up I get the same shocking pain in my breast. I put my trust into imagine plastic surgery and now all I can imagine is getting my breasts fixed one day. :(

    When Dr. H questions if I was even a real patient. Here you go!
    Tuyet V.

    Please read my previous review How insulting this doctor pretends he doesn't know or ever saw me. A quick simple search would confirm I was a patient. If he can't remember patients or conversations, then that's a big issue & he shouldn't be cutting people open. I cannot make all of this up if I wanted! You shouldn't dismiss my greivences so quickly. Be professional and uphold your standards. I am a REAL unsatisfied patient and it is my right to free speech and warn others.

    Tina J.

    I can't even put into words how extremely satisfied I am with Dr. Hardisty & his staff. I spent about a year doing research before I finally decided to go to Dr. Hardisty's office. This was the best decision I have ever made! During my consultation he noticed a spot on my boyfriend's face and insisted he get it checked out, it ended up being cancerous. ( he goes above and beyond ) If you're are reading this review while trying to decide on what Doctor to pick, my advice to you is... you can quit looking because you just found the best that there is! I'm including a before and after picture of my tummy tuck ( my new stomach )

Truly, another disappointment when dealing with the folks in the medical field. And after reviewing other reviews as far back as 2021...I see it's been a problem for others previously as well (regarding stitches that weren't removed properly by staff). Ironically, this place was highly recommended, which made this experience even more disappointing. The doctor lacked bedside manners. He claims that he spent a lot of time with the patient, but that's not true and he can go back and check his time stamps, dates on appointments, or CCTV if he has one. On our first consultation appointment, he was kind of offstandish and rude to me as I was trying to inquire about things to expect post op. After he cut me off because he was assuming what I was going to ask, I responded and said that I wasn't going to ask what he assumed I was going to ask. At the next appointment, it was the procedure day, and that took a little more time since it was the day of the procedure. At the final appointment, the post op appointment, we were in the waiting room for about an hour after our scheduled time, which is ok. The stitch removal took about 2-5 mins, and another 2-5 minutes before the doctor came in. He didn't double-check the stitches, but rather just informed us that the skin sent to the lab was not cancerous and reminded us of aftercare, and we left. So, nowhere did he spend a lot of time with us, so that's a lie. Although he spoke with his team, still no accountability or apologies. I don't care to speak with this doctor or the office any further, and none of the reviews will be removed. What's crazier is he keeps responding. Only now that these comments and experiences are made public. But this was not how he was on the phone brushing me off and being dismissive. Would he still be this way if it wasn't public? Seems like he's talking more to the public in third person. I reached out via internet inquiry box from his website. Then contacted the office a few days later. He was not kind on the phone. No one told him to call me while he was mid-surgery. After being dismissive, I decided to leave a review. He actually ONLY reached out after the damage was already done customer service wise. Would he have reached out genuinely otherwise? Absolutely not. Why would I want to further personally interact?

It didn't hurt, but it definitely didn't feel right--and I knew deep down I probably should've replaced them years ago. My previous doctor had sadly passed away, so starting over and finding someone new felt overwhelming. After doing a lot of research, my husband and I decided to give this office a try--and I'm so glad we did. They were able to get me in quickly for a consultation in the Temecula office, which immediately put me at ease given my situation. From the moment I met Dr. You, I felt comfortable. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain all my options in detail. Since it had been almost two decades since my original procedure, I had plenty of questions--and she answered every one of them thoroughly. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. The office itself was clean and inviting, and I never felt like just another patient. Because of my situation, they were able to schedule my surgery quickly, which I really appreciated. What stood out most was the level of care throughout the entire process. Dr. You personally called me the night after surgery to check in, and the follow-up visit the next day was just as reassuring. Months later, I'm healing beautifully--my results look amazing, and the scarring is minimal to almost nonexistent. I truly couldn't be happier. I feel like myself again, and I'm beyond grateful for the care, professionalism, and expertise of this entire team. Highly recommend!

    Couldn't be happier with the result! A+ from initial consultation to the 1 year checkup!read more

After I paid the deposit for my surgery, I should have known not to get my surgeries done with her. She gave me her number just in case I had any questions before and after my surgery. I had a couple of questions before my surgery and she was on it with responding to my text messages or calling me. After my surgery I called the office and it was on a Wednesday or Thursday , when she has surgeries. Nobody told me to call physician Bennett if I had any concerns in the days of her surgery. I called the office because I had a concern in regards to my breasts hurting and to ask her if she could prescribe me another prescription. I figured I had an infection. The person I spoke to at the front told me to call her. I told her I didn't want to out of courtesy because she was having to do surgeries on that day. I asked the person that I spoke at the front desk if she can relate the message to physician Bennett and let her know that I was probably going to need more antibiotic because I thought I had an infection. Physician never called me. I called back like two days after. And that week they didn't have anymore appointments for me to go see her until the following week. I went in the following week and I told one of her employees that I was upset because I never got a call back from the physician. The employee got upset and was telling me that if the girl at the front desk that I originally spoke to said that I should had called the physician like she had told me. I told her that the physician never told me to call her on her days when she was doing surgeries. She also spoke to the girl at the front desk and then she told me that the girl did relate the message to the physician. She then related the message to the physician about my concern on me not getting a call back from the physician before she went in the room to see me. Physician Bennett asked me what my concern were. I mentioned to her that I had called the office for them to give her a message in regards to maybe needing another antibiotic prescription. She told me the message was never related to her and that she would talk to the person at the front desk that helped me. She looked at my breasts and then she said if I thought I had an infection. I was wondering why she was asking me that question, when she's the surgeon. It turned out my right breast was filled with fluid and infected. She squeezed my breasts and then l fr a hole that didn't heal shut for several weeks. My right breasts has a big indent on the bottom where the t is and it looks horrible. The left breast seems like she cut into my muscle and isn't round at the bottom like a normal breast should look. So disappointed with the work she did. I hope anyone that sees my review don't go to her or her office. If you need a breast lift go to a breast specialist that knows what they are doing. I will eventually have to go to a breast specialist so they can fix the horrible work she did. If I could give her a zero star rating I would. She really stinks and doing breast lift surgeries when you get your breasts removed. I wasn't going to give her a rating but now that it's been eight months, I see that my breasts don't look any better than when I first had my surgeries. She shouldn't be doing surgeries. She stinks at it. Please beware of her. She will make you look ugly and regret you ever went to her and gave her your money. Unfortunately, I posted pictures of the poopy job she did and they were deleted off here.

    If you're looking for an ENT Dr. Gupta is the doctor for you!! I couldn't breathe properly for 7…read moreyears following an incident in my teens. He explained what I had along with a treatment plan. Every and any question I have when I go to my appointments is always answered very thoroughly which I love as someone who is always asking "why?". Everything went well with my treatment and ever since I had a procedure done I can breathe normally again, go on runs, and am no longer being suffocated by my own mucus. This man single handedly changed my quality of life for the better in less than a month of seeing him. I am beyond grateful to have him as my ENT!!! I can finally lead a normal life and engage in athletic activities with my friends :)

    Frustrating and Concerning Experience- Check Your Records! I am incredibly disappointed and…read morefrustrated with my visit. It felt like a complete waste of time and energy. When I reviewed my progress note afterward, I realized it was mostly copied and pasted from over two years ago- nothing from my actual visit was accurately documented. To make matters worse, billing codes were used for services that were never provided. That's unacceptable and, in my understanding, could be considered fraudulent. If you see this physician protect yourself- request copies of your medical records and carefully review your billing. Patients deserve honest, attentive care and accurate documentation, not recycled notes and questionable charges.

    I had a tummy tuck through Dr. Childers in 2015. He was extremely helpful. I went in thinking I…read moreonly needed Lipo and was scared when I realized I needed something more invasive than my initial thought. After deciding to go through with the tummy tuck, I was excited and nervous all at the same time. When my surgery date came, the hospital staff was extremely helpful. Dr. Childers was great support when I needed him. His office staff was delightful. Now, 2 years later, I have a 5 month old. My body healed nicely post surgery and since my pregnancy, my body bounced back (no stretch marks, no belly). However, once I'm ready for a lipo touch up and possibly a breast augmentation later this year, I will be returning to Dr. Childers. PS - I've received compliments on my scarring, too, from doctors in Beverly Hills. Just so you know, you don't need to go to LA or anywhere outside of Riverside to get nice results. ;)

    Sadly, I wish Dr. Childers and his staff were kinder, more empathetic, and caring. No worries and…read moreno apologies for mistakes or mishaps. Truly, another disappointment when dealing with the folks in the medical field. And after reviewing other reviews as far back as 2021...I see it's been a problem for others previously as well (regarding stitches that weren't removed properly by staff). Ironically, this place was highly recommended, which made this experience even more disappointing. The doctor lacked bedside manners. He claims that he spent a lot of time with the patient, but that's not true and he can go back and check his time stamps, dates on appointments, or CCTV if he has one. On our first consultation appointment, he was kind of offstandish and rude to me as I was trying to inquire about things to expect post op. After he cut me off because he was assuming what I was going to ask, I responded and said that I wasn't going to ask what he assumed I was going to ask. At the next appointment, it was the procedure day, and that took a little more time since it was the day of the procedure. At the final appointment, the post op appointment, we were in the waiting room for about an hour after our scheduled time, which is ok. The stitch removal took about 2-5 mins, and another 2-5 minutes before the doctor came in. He didn't double-check the stitches, but rather just informed us that the skin sent to the lab was not cancerous and reminded us of aftercare, and we left. So, nowhere did he spend a lot of time with us, so that's a lie. Although he spoke with his team, still no accountability or apologies. I don't care to speak with this doctor or the office any further, and none of the reviews will be removed. What's crazier is he keeps responding. Only now that these comments and experiences are made public. But this was not how he was on the phone brushing me off and being dismissive. Would he still be this way if it wasn't public? Seems like he's talking more to the public in third person. I reached out via internet inquiry box from his website. Then contacted the office a few days later. He was not kind on the phone. No one told him to call me while he was mid-surgery. After being dismissive, I decided to leave a review. He actually ONLY reached out after the damage was already done customer service wise. Would he have reached out genuinely otherwise? Absolutely not. Why would I want to further personally interact?
