Pre-op

Getting my breast augmentation done by Dr. Ruhge was the best decision I could have made. I had my first consultation in 2018 but didn't go through with the procedure until 2021. Anyone who wants to get plastic surgery knows finding the right doctor is the most important part of the journey. Not only was he incredibly understanding and kind, he was patient and listened to my desired outcome. I tried on many different sizes and even came back when I wasn't sure of my decision. He was in the room with me, gauging my reactions and noticed I felt most confident in one of the smaller sizes I tried on. He made a point to let me know he could tell that was the size I felt most comfortable with rather than urging me to go larger. He answered all my questions and provided details about the potential risks and complications that could occur. Getting a BA is a straight forward procedure and only took about an hour. He checked on me once I woke up from the anesthetic, called me that night, and I had my first follow up appointment a few days later. He scheduled regular appointments with me during the healing process and to remind me aftercare. I decided on 335cc silicone implants under the muscle through an inframammary incision (under the breast) and went from a small B to a full D. The healing process was quick and now at 6 months post-op, my scars are mostly faded, they're soft, and move like they're my own. I am so incredibly happy with my results and can't recommend him enough! The following photos in the orange bikini are pre-op, week 3, week 8, and 4 months. The other photos are between 4-5 months post op!

Hands down the best surgeon!! I have been looking for a good surgeon since my first kid was born. After two pregnancies I got dead skin and stretch marks. I visited three surgeons before making my decision. I was looking for a specialist in mommy makeovers. Since the first day Dr. Ruhge was very nice and you can tell that he cares about you. He explains all the procedures with a lot of details and the most important thing for me was his honesty, he told me all the good things about a mommy make over and also the bad ones. I was also very happy with the staff, Maria, his assistant is a lovely person that would make you feel comfortable all the time. One moths after consultation I had a mommy make (breast reduction, full tummy tuck and a little bit of liposuction) and I can't believe the results!!! Dr. Ruhge did an amazing job! I even like my scars.

3.5 months after breast augmentation. Was a 36C and added 485cc

I was contemplating getting breast augmentation for 10 years. My friend recommended Dr Rughe and he did not disappoint. I came to my consultation with a long list of questions. He was patient and spent the time needed to answer all my questions honestly. He made me feel very comfortable and confident throughout the whole procedure. AND I am VERY happy with the end results! They feel natural and my friends comment about how they fit my body perfectly! I highly recommend Dr Rughe and his entire friendly/accommodating staff.

Been over 2 years and can't be happier! I run my fingers over the incision and can hardly feel it anymore. Like I never had surgery! I did use the recommended silicon scar fabric from oleeva. Please do not buy on amazon! Too many fake products. This one you shouldn't take a chance! :-) Thanks again Dr Ruhge and Maria! Just wished I had thought about this earlier!

3 months post surgery.  Surgery was done January 2016.

I was a patient here and underwent a surgical procedure that caused me significant pain immediately afterward. Even after a full year of repeatedly reporting my pain, discomfort, and a terrible aesthetic result--including a visible bulge in my abdomen--I was consistently dismissed. I was told everything was "fine" and that there was nothing wrong. I was the one who had to push for an ultrasound, which ultimately led to a misdiagnosis and the conclusion that nothing could be done. A year and a half later, my suffering had not stopped, so I sought second opinions from other providers. Both of them immediately recognized the diagnosis. It is, unfortunately, a known and relatively common complication of the type of surgery I had. The fact that my original doctor never acknowledged this possibility was deeply concerning. This experience has caused significant psychological stress, ongoing physical pain, missed work, and additional medical procedures. I have now had to take more time off to undergo corrective surgery, I am left with a permanent scar that would never have existed otherwise, and I have spent thousands of dollars out of pocket to repair the damage with a different doctor. What is most upsetting is that I did go back to the original provider, explained the correct diagnosis, and requested a refund based on what happened. I was told that I had received a "beautiful result," despite the clear physical deformity and the painful complication that had been overlooked for over a year. My concerns were dismissed, minimized, and ultimately ignored. At this point, I have no choice but to warn others about how complications may be handled here if something goes wrong with your procedure. I am also now forced to pursue board complaints and legal action, which is something I never wanted to do. I genuinely tried to resolve this directly. No response they leave on this review will change how this situation was handled.

His approach is truly different and customized to your unique biomarkers and lifestyle, not a one size fits all plan. Through this program, my biomarkers have shifted to reflect someone in their late 20s, even though I'm in my late 30s. The results have been remarkable. I've lost weight, my anxiety has decreased significantly, and my sleep quality has improved in ways I didn't think were possible. My skin feels tighter, clearer, and I've noticed a youthful glow returning. Dr. Tang takes the time to educate and guide you through each step, you truly understand what's happening with your body. He has a true talent in connecting with people, adapting treatments so you can live your life and still see results. His compassion and expertise make him a true gem for the clients he serves. I highly recommend Dr. Tang and his age reversal program to anyone serious about restoring health and vitality from the inside out. I can't thank him enough. Tang, you're the best!!!

I understand he specializes in hands and wrists but I'm very happy to have had him as my nose surgeon. My son was able to get an appointment with his office within a day after being released from the hospital. He assessed the break and said he could perform surgery (mainly moving the nose back into piace) and then applying a "cast" for a week. He did that and removed the cast today. Although it's still tender, my "nose job" is done and together with nose exercises five times a day hope it stays this way, I'm good to go. No more trips/falls for me. Dr. Laksman is very professional and knowledgeable and his staff friendly and courteous. I'd give him Ten stars if I could even though five stars is max!

Dr. Lakshman is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. He has a way of making you feel comfortable from the moment you meet him. I've been seeing him for quite some time now, and he consistently does an amazing job. He listens, takes his time with me, and I never feel rushed. One of my favorite parts of every visit is seeing the office staff. They always greet you with a smile. They're genuinely kind, welcoming, and always so upbeat. It's one of the few medical offices where I actually look forward to my appointments because everyone makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. I'm so grateful I found this practice. In fact, I already have future appointments on the books, which says everything about the confidence I have in Dr. Lakshman and his team. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice. This team deserves far more than five stars!

The waiting room was full, and other patients had been waiting even longer (over two hours). There was no communication, no timeline, and no attempt to manage expectations. Delays happen, but this was chaotic, and appeared to be systemic overbooking rather than an isolated issue. For a surgical consultation, where attention to detail and patient care should be paramount, this experience was concerning to say the least. I felt I was waiting to be processed, not cared for. I sat there thinking - these are the people that would be responsible for my pre-op care, my surgery, my aftercare, and any complications that may arise during or after my procedure. And they cannot get the most basic function of the operation right. Ultimately, the consultation fee was a small price to avoid a five-figure mistake. Maybe it's ok for filler and Botox. If like me you are making a permanent decision about your body, beware. I won't undergo a scalpel on an assembly line. Hard pass.

In 2007 I was on a Zoom call and noticed I had eye bags. I knew they had grown over time but it…read morewasn't until I saw myself on camera when they really stood out. Since then I was very self-conscious about them because they looked awful. I tried creams, tea bags, cold water compresses, etc. and nothing worked so I made a goal to have lower blepharoplasty done before the end of this year. Around August 2025, I was referred to a plastic surgeon by a friend. The doctor was reluctant to perform surgery on me for a couple of different reasons which I won't go into great detail. So without knowing anyone else, I found Dr. Wang and another Asian doctor via the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Since I am Asian, I was specifically looking for Asian doctors who had experience with this surgery on Asian males. I looked at his website, searched for any medical malpractice cases, lawsuits, was he board certified, etc. then scheduled an initial visit. Including Dr. Wang, I purposely visited with three doctor's for this surgery. During the visit with Dr. Wang, I asked about his facilities, the pre-op and post-op steps, aftercare support and follow-ups, shared with him my concerns (stemming from the visit with the first doctor), and a variety of additional questions. In fact, before the actual surgery date, I had two additional visits with him to talk over the initial concerns I had. Incidentally, there was no charge for these visits. Dr. Wang spent plenty of time with me during all three pre-op meetings and saw me pretty quickly meaning, once I stepped into the office for my appointment, I was seen by him in less than fifteen minutes. The surgery went smoothly and I'm very happy with the outcome. I've had four follow-up visits with him with a fifth one scheduled for February 2027. The office staff is terrific and helpful, especially Michelle Y. The facility is very nice, there's plenty of parking, and overall, a positive experience.

Several of my friends have been going to Dr. Wangs for years. So, I decided to I reached out to Dr…read more Wangs to consult with concern of my upper blepharoplasty procedures. One of the team members, Michelle, helped me setting up my appointment in Upland, because she realized that it would be easier for my commute. During the consultation, Dr. Wang was knowledgeable and guided me through the process and the procedure. I strongly recommend Dr. Wang.
