Every single experience exceeded my expectations. I had a fat transfer procedure with Dr. Gocken and I honestly couldn't be happier with my results. He is skilled, attentive, and patient. He took the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns. I felt heard, informed and confident every step of the way. The entire team was fantastic! The front desk girls always welcomed me with a smile, the nurses were incredibly compassionate and reassuring, and the anesthesiologist (shout-out to Chris!) made me feel completely at ease. They were genuinely invested in making my experience a positive one and their warmth made all the difference. Choosing to have surgery is such a personal and vulnerable experience, and I'm so thankful I trusted PacificLipo and Dr. G. I not only got beautiful results and confidence but also an experience I'll always be grateful for. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience feel so positive and life-changing.

    I underwent a combination of a facelift, fat grafting, a lip lift, and upper/lower blepharoplasty…read morewith Dr. Karam in September 2023. Unfortunately, I am deeply unhappy with the results and the total lack of accountability regarding my concerns. My cheeks are noticeably uneven; one side remains significantly larger than the other. Now that over two years have passed since my procedure, I have developed deep irregularities (uneven and lumpy texture) across my cheeks and under my eyes. Instead of a smooth transition, the texture is uneven and looks unnatural. The lip lift left a very prominent and obvious scar underneath my nose. It is not the hidden or discreet result I was led to believe. Despite the facelift, I have an excessive amount of wrinkles around my neck, chin, and mouth area. As time goes on, the hollows and unevenness are becoming more pronounced rather than settling. The cost of these procedures was incredibly high. I feel that the premium prices patients pay are for his massive marketing and social media production, not for superior surgical skill. For the amount of money spent, one expects precision and personalized care, neither of which I received. When I met with Dr. Karam via Zoom four months post-op to express my dissatisfaction, he was dismissive. He refused to guarantee any revision work to correct these clear issues. It is now clear that this is a mass production practice where the focus is on bringing in new clients through polished social media photos rather than ensuring the long-term quality of the work. I deeply regret my decision. I am now forced to seek out another surgeon to perform an expensive revision to fix the damage. Please do your research beyond social media before choosing this clinic.

    It has been over six months since my facelift, and I have not noticed any changes. I have called…read morethe doctor several times and informed the staff that I have not seen any improvements. The doctor advised me to wait a few more months, but I find this response unhelpful. I am extremely dissatisfied with the results. The procedure was a complete waste of money, and the price charged was six times higher than that of other doctors in the same field. I deeply regret going to this doctor and would not recommend anyone spend such a significant amount for results that fail to meet expectations. I will not recommend!

    Came to Dr Kearney from Lancaster, CA. Had consults with doctors in Vegas, Beverly Hills, LA and…read morehim. He was the only one that made me feel at ease and didn't try to upsell me. The procedure and the recovery were a breeze. I came to him for a neck lift and I will be back to him for my next procedure! It's been a few months and I am very happy with the results. He didn't make big incisions and remove a bunch of skin like all the other doctors wanted to do, and he was more affordable! Great guy, great surgeon!

    I went in for a consultation last week and left feeling very uncomfortable. From the start, before…read morethe consultation even began, I was asked to take photos for a simulation without being properly asked or informed, which I declined. During the consultation, I clearly explained what I was looking for. He mentioned under-the-armpit incisions, which interested me, but then quickly insisted that I would need a lift. I explained that I was extremely uncomfortable with a lift due to scarring, but my concerns were dismissed. He spoke very fast, was insistent, and both my support person and I felt lost and talked over. He told me my nipples were "turned down," which I disagreed with, and made unsolicited comments such as women not wanting to "look like a boy," that "guys don't care about scars," and that "you either have scars or you don't have bigger boobs." These comments felt inappropriate and made me feel pressured and insecure rather than supported. Overall, I felt that he did not listen to my goals or respect my boundaries. I booked this consultation specifically because of his advertised experience with endoscopic transaxillary cases and made my preferences very clear, yet I felt pushed toward a procedure I did not want. I would not trust this doctor and would recommend finding a surgeon who truly listens and has experience in the specific approach you're looking for. Additionally after the consultation, I called the office again to clarify whether it would be possible to proceed with an under-the-armpit approach without a lift, since I am comfortable with my breast shape and simply want more volume. He responded that I would "have the same breasts, just bigger," and that I would still have "the same problem." I explained that I do not see my breasts as a problem and that I like them as they are. He then told me that I should find a different doctor.

I came for Botox due to migraines and TMJ dysfunction. I was seen by Kathy and she was 100% real and honest with me. She told me what I needed and what I didn't need, which I greatly appreciated her honesty. She told me the plan and the results we are aiming for. When I've been to other places are just like OK here's your injection this is the standard amount, See you in x amount of months for the same amount. That's not how this place is, Kathy told me that the goal is to keep my symptoms at bay and not go through up and downs, where I'm having symptoms and I get treatment, it goes away and it comes backs. I now have a clear goal and plan where she will assess how I'm going after each treatment and see how to adjust for the next. after just a few days I already see positive changes. On another note when coming here it is in the medical center so come 15 minutes before your appointment to give you time to park and find the place since it is an area with a lot of medical offices. Also, you do have to pay to park but they did validate my parking.

    I am writing this not only out of personal necessity but also as a warning to others. Years ago, I…read moreunderwent a breast reduction procedure performed by Dr. Jeffrey Umansky. When I expressed immediate and legitimate concerns about the grossly asymmetrical, misshapen outcome, I was dismissively met with the condescending remark: "Let's remember, they're sisters, not twins." This patronizing statement was clearly meant to deflect responsibility and silence a vulnerable, young patient who had just trusted him with her body. The result was not only physically disfiguring, but emotionally devastating. At the time, I lacked the personal and emotional support to pursue legal recourse. However, with time and reflection, it's become undeniably clear: I was negligently and carelessly operated on, and the trauma I endured has left lasting scars--both literally and psychologically. To be specific, Dr. Umansky's surgical execution resulted in: Sloppy and uneven internal tissue excision Poorly closed incisions, resulting in significant scarring and dog-ear deformities Asymmetrical areolas, with nipples more than an inch off from one another Long-term disfigurement that has made any corrective procedures extremely complex and costly Despite my desperation and embarrassment, I reached out to the office manager shortly after the surgery to request even a partial refund so I could afford reconstructive work elsewhere. My plea was coldly denied and ultimately ignored. The lack of professional accountability shown by both Dr. Umansky and his office was reprehensible. Since then, I have consulted with multiple board-certified plastic surgeons, all of whom confirmed the extensive damage done and emphasized the difficulty of now restoring what was once a healthy, intact chest. One even stated that the tissue had been "butchered"--their words, not mine. I have photographic documentation of both the immediate post-op results and my current condition, which I am prepared to share publicly and with appropriate legal channels if necessary. If the platform allowed, I would upload these images in full to give others the visual proof of what I have suffered due to Dr. Umansky's substandard care. Dr. Umansky, whether your staff chose to shield you from the fallout or not, you should know: your conduct was not only negligent but borders on medical malpractice. Your failure to take responsibility--medically or financially--for the irreversible damage you caused is inexcusable. I gave everything I had to pay for that surgery, and in return, I was left physically distorted and emotionally broken. This message is for the patients who have been silenced, dismissed, or gaslit into thinking they had no right to speak up. I speak now because I have found my voice--and others deserve to find theirs too. Your actions, Dr. Umansky, were not only unprofessional and unethical--they were, and remain, absolutely unforgivable.
