From the moment I met him, I knew I was in expert hands -- but it wasn't just his impressive background (and yes, his resume is jaw-dropping). It was his calm, steady demeanor, his willingness to listen, and the way he spoke to me like a human being, not just another chart. I came in for carpal tunnel surgery after years of pain, numbness, and frustrating experiences that made me question whether I was being taken seriously. Dr. Taleisnik took one look at my tests and my story and confirmed what I had always known in my gut: the pain was real, and it was time to fix it -- for good. The surgery itself was precise, professional, and compassionate from start to finish. The incision was placed along the natural line in my hand -- I barely notice it now. He took great care to reduce trauma to surrounding tissue, and while recovery is always a journey, I've felt seen and supported every step of the way. Even the stitching -- which I initially thought looked "odd" -- was done with calculated expertise to reduce tension and promote faster healing. It worked. What sets Dr. Taleisnik apart isn't just his training (Princeton, UCLA, a fellowship at one of the top hand surgery centers in the country). It's the combination of that world-class skill with a humble, grounded bedside manner. He explains things clearly, without ego or condescension. He makes you feel like your recovery matters just as much as your results. As someone whose job depends on the use of my hands -- and as someone who deals with a lot of sensory sensitivity -- this surgery wasn't just about mobility. It was about dignity, survival, and getting my life back. Dr. Taleisnik made that possible. If you're in need of a hand surgeon, run, don't walk. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more qualified, thoughtful, and skilled surgeon anywhere in the country -- and believe me, I looked. Thank you, Dr. Taleisnik. For your hands, your heart, and your healing. I trusted you with my future -- and you gave it back to me I know for sure I'll probably be back in 2027 for my right hand. Thank you doc.

Unfortunately, what they lack ends up a longer list. The first MA was unable to get a vial of blood and said someone else would try on my other arm with a straight needed (vs butterfly). She left me without even putting a bandaid on the arm she poked and I had to struggle to put the bandaid on one handed while still maintaining pressure on it. Next MA comes and draws blood and when she's done she yelps I don't have a cotton ball (to put on the vein she just drew out of) and my blood is just pooling while she puts a bandaid on. Luckily I'm well versed enough to know I needed to put pressure on my bandaid. The NP who saw me was new to (per the MA) she really didn't put my mind at ease. Her expertise and knowledge seemed lacking based on the answers to my questions. First thing she asked me was, why are you here and not the ER? I told her my PCP sent me here because she didn't feel it necessitated a ER visit. She wanted me to be evaluated by YOU to assess and in your medical opinion, do I need to be seen further or what course of action next? She swabbed me for flu and covid and I verbally questioned her because I had isolated severe GI symptoms. She said sometimes those present wither GI only. Does it? I don't know, I'm not an MD but I'm also someone who works in healthcare and it didn't feel like the proper procedure. When I asked if she would be ordering any stool samples, I heard through my closed door "do we do that?". Ok, she's new, I'll give her that...but she comes back in and says "if you'd like to have the order for stool testing I'm happy to give that to you." Am I the md or am I the patient? I came here for your professional medical opinion! Do I?! So after I kindly communicated that I am looking to her for her opinion as the expert whether or not my symptoms necessitate an order, she still doesn't quite give me a direct answer! I haven't been to that many urgent cares, but I've come to see a trend that many of the urgent cares that are owned by a company with multiple locations don't have MD's on staff physically there. That said, I've also noticed the trend that many provide sub-par care.

I came in specifically because I was feeling unwell and suspected a blood sugar issue--especially since lab work from a different clinic the prior week showed a fasting glucose level high enough to indicate diabetes. Despite explaining this, the Physician Assistant (PA) dismissed my concerns, told me I "didn't fit the profile" for diabetes, and ordered a thyroid panel instead. Three days later, the support staff called to tell me they lost my blood sample and needed me to come back in. When I expressed frustration that they lost my sample for a test I didn't even ask for--while still refusing to run the metabolic panel I actually needed--the staff member literally hung up on me. I only returned the next day because it is within walking distance of my house and I was having the same feeling again, wanting to get to the bottom of what was happening. While the PA on duty that day was attentive, she ended up sending me to the ER for my blood pressure. After waiting four hours at the hospital, the ER doctor confirmed it wasn't an emergency at all. To top it all off, I received another call from the urgent care informing me that they did eventually run a metabolic panel, and my A1C and fasting glucose levels are, in fact, indicative of diabetes. Between the PA completely dismissing a patient's concerns, the staff losing blood samples, and being hung up on, the lack of professionalism and competence here is alarming. Go somewhere else.

Dr. Turpin performed reconstructive surgery on me after a bilateral mastectomy due to breast cancer. After viewing photographs of the results of patients he has previously reconstructed, I was immediately reassured. I saw that he is a very skilled surgeon and will not stop until he has achieved the best possible cosmetic results for the patient. I experienced a complication after my mastectomy surgery and I was very happy to later be in Dr. Turpin's care. He expertly repaired my skin and I am pleased with the outcome. He did an excellent job on my reconstructive surgery. He is a very kind and compassionate man with a wonderful personality. All of the staff at his office is friendly, caring and helpful.

After surgery, I had to be given blood transfusion daily. The surgery was so painful and had to receive home care because he left me completely open. I fired him as my doctor for the hospital and seen another doctor. Doctor was in shock of what he did. It was the worse 5 months of my life. I couldn't walk and my husband was my caregiver. Now this happened in September 2021. I was left with severe scar tissue, and limited mobility. Now is 2023 and have to get surgery because not only could I have of died in 2021 because of him but now I have to get surgery due to the severe trauma of scar tissue he left for my thigh lift . This is so upsetting how he can get away with this. Please if you're planning to use do not. I beg do not. He almost cause me my life and now I got to surgery because of him. If you're Looking for a cosmetic surgeon, go to Dr. Robert Wald I'm Fullerton. I've used Dr Wald, but didn't this time because he was booked and I was Planning to look good for a vacation we had planned. But that vacation was cancele. The pictures I'm posting are not even the worse that I was left with. I can show the severity of the other ones due to the areas there at. I had these open holes which where all I've my panty line for 5 months. I hope that you reconsider this awful doctor and and don't become a victim like I did. The worse part is he got away and I couldn't get my money back. This is also not a review that is false. I beg you to run and do not step foot in his office. Don't let him touch you He ruined my life My entire panty line is completely scarred because of what he did to me. Don't be a victim and don't believe anything or his staff. His staff when I called to complain or would go to follow ups had the nerve to say I was dramatic and next thing you know I'm fighting for my life. Don't use him, even if you think he's given you deal, ask yourself what if this can be me? I can be a victim

I came to Dr. Shamoun with a rhinoplasty (from a previous Dr) that I was not happy with. Right when…read moreI came to Dr. Shamouns office, he sat with me for 1.5 hours (free of charge may I add) and addressed every concern I had and validated them while providing his opinion and expertise. Dr. Shamoun is direct and a straight shooter - but he is also incredibly caring and kind. He doesn't beat around the bush or sugar coat his answers but he truly explains and provides so much valuable honesty and knowledge. He took me in as a patient and he performed my revision. Upon my cast removal, I was truly floored at the result at just 1 week post op. On top of my amazing experience and results, his partner and front of office, Yvonne was amazing through the process. She worked with me closely and helped me through many of my back end questions. Thank you to Dr. Shamoun & Yvonne for listening and caring for me. I can't wait for my next appointment.

First off, I am very disappointed to write this review, though I feel the need to warn others. I…read morewaited a year and a couple months to have him work on my nose to fix it. He even handled my court case and made $15,000 off of that which we lost the case and we are in debt from all of my nose surgeries. I had emailed him about an estimate for my nose, it was around $30,000. I had my consultation once again after the waited time period, we talked about fixing the holes (dents in my nose from missing cartilage), and fixing the irregularities. I booked the non refundable deposit of $1,000 after meeting with him and scheduled the surgery thinking the quote would similar to what he quoted me on email. The receptionist (I can't say names on yelp), sent me a quote of $187,050. I was floored. I lost the deposit money and we can't afford almost $200,000 for a nose job. I am filled with so many questions of why? Where did we get so lost? My emails are ignored now. I lost the money to the lawyer to the last surgeon who botched me, we're in debt from 4 surgeries that botched me, and I put all my eggs in one basket as to the hope for him to fix me for good. We can't even get a loan for $200,000. I'm really down and absolutely shocked that he said he would help me, but surprised me with a price tag that's insurmountable for what we can afford. It's saddening. My hope is gone for surgeons. They're greedy and money hungry. I hope this review gets him to read what emotional toll this has taken on me, and to think before you charge a patient $200,000 to fix irregularities on their nose. I'm no millionaire or billionaire, I'm a mom raising a toddler who has had a really hard time looking in the mirror. I wish he would have kept his word. Only God will judge us at the end as to how we treated those in need of help but couldn't afford a quarter million dollars to get it.

I'm about 8 weeks post-op from a breast augmentation with Dr. Smith, and the entire experience and my results have exceeded my expectations in every way. From the initial consultation, to pre-op, surgery day, and all post-op visits - it has genuinely been a 100/10 experience. Dr. Smith was actually my first consult. Even though I wanted to book surgery immediately after he and Cathy spent nearly an hour and a half with my husband and me, I had already paid for two additional consults and felt I should attend them. Honestly, thank goodness Dr. Smith was my first because the other two surgeons likely would have scared me away from the procedure altogether. Dr. Smith stood out by a long shot. At every single visit, I never once felt rushed or like my questions weren't valid. They truly took the time to listen, understand, and make sure I felt completely comfortable and confident in every decision. That level of care is rare and meant so much to me. Dr. Smith and his entire team are incredible and genuinely care about their patients. The facility is absolutely beautiful, and on surgery day I was blown away when they took me back to their OR- it's like a mini hospital in there. Everything felt extremely organized, professional, and safe. I felt so calm on surgery day, which is not typical for me at all (I've never had surgery), and that's completely a testament to Dr. Smith and his entire team. The last thing I remember is Dr. Smith squeezing my hand, and then I woke up as the new me! Recovery was smooth, and the team supported me every step of the way. I am beyond grateful for Dr. Smith and his staff and have already recommended him to several people. If you're considering plastic surgery you won't regret choosing Dr. Smith. I truly couldn't recommend him more and only wish I had done it sooner.

We want to say a huge thanks to Dr. Wirth and his entire team…read more From the very first day we met him, we appreciated his kindness, patience, and professionalism. Our family member was involved in a serious car accident, and Dr. Wirth performed a skin graft, taking skin from his leg and placing it on the wound. The procedure was done beautifully, but what truly stood out to us was the aftercare. Every time we came to the office, Dr. Wirth and his team were incredibly friendly, caring, and supportive. We cannot even express how much that meant to our family during such a difficult time. He is not only one of the most professional doctors in the area, but also one of the kindest people we have ever met in our lives. Thank you so much for everything!

Dr. Wirth is a highly skilled surgeon who has all of the latest evidence based research on surgery and healing protocol, he is also super friendly. He was actually on his way to speak at a conference right after our last appointment. The front desk staff are exceptional, very friendly and always make you feel like a million bucks. The two procedures I had were injuries I received through sports. The initial injury was a split above my eye from a head butt I received from a competition in Philadelphia. I flew home to make it within with 24 hours to receive treatment from Dr. Wirth, and so glad I did since the cut required 2 layers of stitches (I believe the muscular layer and the top skin layer). Had I gone to the ER for this procedure, I would have had a pretty bad result. I also recently underwent rhinoplasty after many years of sporting nose breaks. I had so much scar tissue in my nose that I could barely breathe out of it. Dr. Wirth was able to remove cartilage from one ear (thanks to his precision, likely would have needed 2 ears), and give structure back to my nose. I never thought I could breathe like this again, I am so grateful. Thank you Dr. Wirth for your amazing work! I am so happy with my results. Pro tip: the Newport office is located right near fashion island, so be sure to plan accordingly.
