I had a breast reduction and lift here in October 2025. While undergoing major surgery requires trust and clear communication, my experience with both Dr. Zeineh and her office staff has been deeply frustrating and disappointing from start to finish. While Dr. Zeineh is polite in person, her complete lack of respect for patients' time is deeply upsetting. She was consistently at least 45 minutes late to my office appointments and was almost an hour late on the morning of my actual surgery. Having worked in medical offices myself alongside doctors managing high patient volumes who rarely ran more than 15-20 minutes behind, this level of constant delay is unreasonable. Additionally, front office interactions were routinely cold. When I called anxious about a potential abscess based on imaging results, I misspoke out of fear; rather than responding with empathy to a scared post-op patient, Stephanie cut me off and patronized me, asking, "Who told you that?" This pattern of poor communication extended to my medical care as well. I developed tissue necrosis post-op, and while the Dr. Zeineh did treat the area and it eventually healed, she never directly named the condition or offered any personal reassurance that what I was experiencing was a manageable part of recovery. Navigating a scary surgical complication without direct, comforting communication from my surgeon was extremely unsettling. To make matters worse, at 10 months post-op, my breasts show significant sagging. When I scheduled a consultation to discuss a revision, the office canceled my appointment under the premise of drafting a self-pay estimate first. It has now been over a month since I requested the quote--and weeks past my original appointment date--with zero outreach from their team. It should never be the patient's responsibility to constantly chase down a practice for basic administrative follow-up and necessary post-surgical support. Major surgery requires punctuality, transparency, and compassionate care, and this practice fell short across the board. I cannot recommend them. read more

Dr. Zeineh was an "angel" that was recommended to me by my Surgeon that did my breast cancer surgery. I felt so comfortable with her from the moment I met her. She answered all my questions so well and she asked me lots of questions too. My surgery turned out better than I expected. I am very happy :-). The pain was much less than expected. I highly recommend her. Her staff was very friendly and helpful too. read more

Dr Z is N excellent surgeon who takes great care of her patients. She believes in doing all the treatments for her patients and doesn't send in a P.A. She takes her time explaining her procedure fully so the patient is knowledgeable about that procedure. read more

I can not recommend this doctor enough. Dr. Zeineh is absolutely amazing. From the moment that you walk into her office you are welcomed by the amazing staff. Once you are taken back and Dr. Zeineh comes in for a consult she always has the best and warmest smile on her face. All the worries and fears are subsided. She makes you feel so very welcome. She listens to every concern and questions you may have. Once surgery time came (I had a tummy tuck and skin removal) she comes into the pre op area always with a warming smile on her face She explains once again what to expect and the details for recovery to make sure that you understand completely. As someone who has worked in the medical friend for 28 years I highly recommend Dr. Zeineh to anyone. I can not thank her enough for the way that she has changed my life. read more

I had a nurse say to me That she had a procedure done amd that she was amazimg too. Thar me Feel better. She explained what to expect what to do the day after so i was ready. Well i was practically painless and was able to walk straight. I barely jad any swelling. My two post ope have been incredibly awesome. She removed the drains and I literally felt Nothing even though people Would tell me it would hurt. But i can only say i had the best experience and so far ao good! Its true that recovery does depemd on you but also on the doctor. I am Definitely sticking with her for my next procedures. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Zeineh. From the time I made my first appointment to the day of my post-op appointment, I was treated very well. I am happy with my results. You'll love Dr. Zeineh's bedside manner as she is personable and listens to everything you have to say. She is not only a skilled surgeon but she is also patient and kind. Surgery-wise, I couldn't be happier. My scars are healing well and I feel I was under the best caring hands! Highly, highly recommended. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Zeineh and her staff especially (Ms. Stephanie & Ms. Rebecca). A phenomenal team. They heard my concerns and my vision. Dr. Zeineh has an amazing attitude and is very transparent. I also appreciate how she takes the time in her consultations and appointments to ensure I am comfortable with procedures. As I said before the staff are welcoming and always helpful with answering questions I have. If they do not know the answer they take the time to find out. I'm so blessed to have found this team. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Zeineh because she provides amazing, top quality care and results! Dr. Zeineh listened to my needs and made adjustments to ensure my experience is top-notch from start to finish. I am 6 weeks post op breast reduction and have received so many compliments. Dr. Zeineh's perfectionism reflects in her work. My breasts are even, portioned to my body, perky, hidden incision marks, look cute, and are perfect for my active lifestyle. Dr. Zeineh is the sweetest and always happy when we interact, which made me feel secure. She was transparent with what to expect pre and post op, and always available for questions and support. Her office staff was always warm and welcoming. I've observed them with other patients, and this level of service is consistent. The office, lobby area, and rooms are always clean and fresh smelling. I also appreciate that Dr. Zeineh provides complimentary snacks, candies, coffee, and water if needed. Dr. Zeineh has set the bar high, so now she's stuck with me. I refuse to go to anyone else for my cosmetic needs. Dr. Zeineh and staff were instrumental in the improvement of my quality of life and I will forever be grateful!!! Thank you Dr. Zeineh!!! read more

Excellent plastic surgeon Had a breast reduction and they look amazing Office staff is great read more

Staff was awesome Chloe was extremely helpful from the first call and going forward And then we met Dr Zeineh who calmed our fears and was very informative Very professional! read more

Dr.Zeineh has been warm, compassionate, honest, and knowledgeable in my pre and post op visits. My oncological breast surgeon and her worked so well together to give me a great outcome. I had very little pain coming out of surgery, and my incisions healed nicely. I appreciated how well she, the breast surgeon and my oncologist have communicated to ensure that my care is the best it can be. She makes sure my questions are all answered, makes me feel like she appreciates me as a patient, and gave me the extra time needed when I was emotional about the cancer itself during a visit. I have already recommended her to other friends. Rebecca and Stephanie in her front office are so kind and werec on it for insurance concerns and scheduling! It's nice to have a surgeon that is as invested in the end result as I am and cares how am doing as a whole person! I feel like God gave me the best plastic surgeon for me! read more

Dr. Zeineh, is awesome been with her since 2016 she is amazing caring helpful she doesn't try to hurry like other doctors. Takes time to listen to your concerns. My surgery was great. The office is so warm when you walk in staff is nice respectful. Love her to death!! No other doctor is going to do implants. Please if you need anything call her read more

I had a consultation with Dr. Zeineh today and cannot speak highly enough about the entire experience. From the front office staff, the facility, to Dr. Zeineh herself, it was an incredible experience. I was extremely nervous for the appointment, but Dr. Zeineh put my mind at ease within seconds of speaking with her. It was evident immediately that she is not only an expert in her field and has a wealth of knowledge and experience, but she truly cares for her patients' experiences and needs. I had tons of questions going into the appointment and almost all of them were answered without even having to ask. I felt listened to, seen and understood. I so look forward to continuing to be a patient of Dr. Zeineh's and have no doubt that my experience from here on out will be nothing short of amazing. read more

Dr. Zeineh is lucky to have a wonderful front office. That explains the 1 star I did give her. I have a hernia that is causing me pain and making me dependent on my daughter for way to much. My primary Dr. referred me to her. I had one appointment, where she took some pictures, NEVER palpitated my abdomen, asked few questions, and told me she would get back to me. I told her at that first visit that I vape as part of my pain management. ( I have proven that through tests.) I called the office twice for an answer, and always got "she is reviewing your case ". After a month, they said they were waiting for the codes from the doctor. I have worked in doctors offices and hospitals. I told the nurse that I would call back the next day, and if she hadn't gotten them, I would move on. The next day, all they had was "you will have to quit vaping for 60 days" with her KNOWING the kind of pain I would be in! They also said I would be tested for nicotine the day of my surgery. My take on this was that she wasn't planning on doing the surgery anyway, but didn't want to admit it, especially since my primary Dr. Is very well-known and has quite a large practice! I would respect her more if she had been honest up front, because my surgery cannot be done laproscopicaly and that is the only way she has been working. She admitted that in the 1st appointment also. She may be great with easy cosmetic surgeries, but when it comes to something that is not cosmetic, she's not able to admit that she's out of her league! Good luck if it isn't cosmetic surgery that you need!!! read more

All I can say is that Dr. Zeineh is an awesome person and excellent surgeon. I am also in the medical field and after extensive research I decided on Dr. Zeineh. She has now done two surgeries the most recent 1/2020. She has excellent bedside manners and is really sweet and caring. She is also extremely detailed in explaining the surgeries/procederes, I am truly impressed. She takes her time with you and explains your options. Her staff is also helpful and always pleasant to work with. Her office is located on the 6th floor of the Pavillon building near St. Joseph's hospital. There is a paid parking structure right in front of the building and they do validate.. bonus! I highly recommend Dr. Zeineh for any plastic/reconstructive surgeries. read more

Linda L Zeineh, MD - Plastic Surgeons Near Me - Orange, California

I was referred by my orthopedic back doctor to get a breast reduction due to my shoulder pain and back issues. The orthopedic doctor recommended Dr. Zeineh and told me she is the BEST. I went to consultation and Dr. Zeineh explained the procedure and I agreed to have the surgery, but had to wait until insurance approved procedure. They approved and I had my procedure done and IT WAS FANTASTIC! My first week was tough due to the drains that are put in to help heal, but after they were removed it was easy healing. I am so happy with the results Dr. Zeineh saved me, my shoulder pain is gone and I am so relieved, plus my breast look great I love wearing cute bras. Anyone that needs a breast reduction I highly recommend Dr. Zeineh. The orthopedist is right she is the best. read more

I am SO very happy with Dr. Zeineh and her support staff! I was referred by my primary doctor and I knew I could trust her choice for me. I had implants removed and a breast lift and was educated, followed every step of the way. Any anxiety or concerns I had were attended to immediately. I felt that Dr. really knew me and cared and I appreciated her positive, friendly interactions. I was very satisfied with the costs and highly recommend her! Thank you Dr. Zeineh!!! read more

Dr Z is a kind, caring expert who has greatly helped me through a difficult experience.

Her staff is also kind & thorough & very prompt at returning calls and helping me with appointments. I found her due to the recommendation of my spine doctor who assured me she is fabulous. He is correct!! 5 Stars!!!! read more

I saw Dr. Zeineh for a breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy following a breast cancer diagnosis. Throughout the process, she was so upbeat and reassuring that I would be whole again. I am so pleased with the outcome and I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Zeineh and her staff! read more

Dr. Zeineh and her staff have been amazing over the last nine months. From the first visit back in August, I knew I would be in good hands. She is personable and gives every patient the attention they need. You may have a wait in the waiting room due to unexpected delays, but when it is your turn, Dr. Zeineh does not rush to try and catch up on time. She explains every detail on what to expect and her calm demeaner helps ease any anxiety. She is a perfectionist and I am so pleased with the results. Having a double mastectomy was scary, but Dr. Zeineh's work with the reconstruction has me feeling like myself again. read more

I do not recommend this doctor. I went in for a consult for a skin cancer removal on my face and she came into the room (45 minutes late) without knowing why I was there. She did not have any of my paperwork or pathology that was sent by my derm. She then took pictures of my Quest app in order to be informed about my results. Once I went to make my surgery appt her office staff informed me it would take 2 months for an appointment. I then asked to speak with the doctor, no office manager on duty, about the length of time due to it being skin cancer. While waiting I asked where my pathology report was as the doctor did not have it. She said she would look for it but never did. After waiting another 45 minutes the doctor pulled me into the office and said she refuses to do my surgery because I made "disparaging" comments to her staff. I then asked what was said and she refused to inform me of the comment. I can 100% truthfully say that I asked questions in a calm tone and was straightforward. I did not say anything rude to anyone in this office. I asked for a referral and she refused. I left that office upset and starting from square one. Very unprofessional and disappointing that her office staff lies and left a patient with no help. read more

Today I went to Dr. Zeineh's office for a follow up appointment. I had a double mastectomy performed by Dr. Michelle Carpenter and reconstruction done by Dr. Linda Zeineh back in 2016. To this day I am still over the moon on the professionalism and artistic ability of both my physicians. One thing I will tell you is if you want a top notch physician you have to be willing to wait,With that being said there is always a wait to see Dr. Zeineh.I would never refer anyone to a Dr if I truly did not believe that they were not only up for any challenge or had the expertise to pull it off. Dr Zeineh made my breast look amazing! To this day 5years later I still love everything about them! Now Dr Zeineh will do a quick Botox between my brows and some filler in my upper lip. So nice to trust her in keeping me looking smooth around my brows and lips. read more

Just 10 days out from my upper and lower eyelid lift performed by the talented and exceptionally skilled Dr. Zeineh, I already could not be happier with the results. The entire process, from first consult through post-op, has been seamless and flawlessly supported by Dr. Zeineh's kind and patient staff. Who, given that I am an out-of-town patient traveling specifically to work with Dr. Zeineh, went out of their way to be helpful on all logistics involved. An empathetic, kind surgeon with an impeccable aesthetic for natural beauty, Dr. Zeineh is also a clear and responsive communicator. Her ability to inform me about the procedure in terms understandable to any layperson made me completely comfortable with the entire process, mitigated any concerns, and ensured that my expectations were realistically set. If I could leave 100 stars I certainly would. read more

Receptionist spends most of her time without a mask. If you are concerned about protecting your health go elsewhere.

Nothing but problems with her surgery. Ended up going to a great surgeon to my my issue. So disappointed.

I have been in Dr. Zeineh care since 2020 and I have never in my many, many years on this earth met a more Understanding, Compassionate, Thoughtful, Intelligent, Lovely, Humble, Knowledgeable person. She will answer any and all questions. She doesn't let you leave without full knowledge of your treatment. She's an advocate for women and you won't walk away feeling shunned, not listened to or understood. She's a Brilliant surgeon and now i wish to call her a friend. Thank You Dr. Linda L Zeineh, MD Terrie E. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I waited a hr and 10 minutes in this office after waiting 6 weeks for an appointment in pain. I was the first appointment of the afternoon too. Nothing said by the receptionist she just took me to a room threw a gown on the desk said she'll be right in. A hour and 10 minutes later I got dressed and left. Office is very basic, not your typical OC plastic surgery office. I have had multiple reconstruction surgeries never been treated like this. Im a RN so I get surgeons get tied up but keep a patient informed. I drove from Riverside to OC paid a LVN to watch my disabled kid to be treated like this. Yelp rarely lies go somewhere where you will get a little respect. read more

Be aware it is not a free consultation as I was told they will bill your insurance the balance not payed by the insurance will be billed to the patient read more

Hi I got referred to Dr Z by Dr carpenter.. I took the appointment by phone and the receptionist was very nice with me they were trying to find me a spot ASAP .. DrZ came to see me at 7:00am she went through all the details with me and my husband . She gave me her email so we can communicate.. there was patient who came after me and she went and greeted them .. she is super nice read more

i usually don't write any reviews but i just felt i had to. if you don't have 4 hours to spare and wait in a room for the doctor to see you do not choose this place! they are nice but very unprofessional . they think you dont know what they do to slowly bring other patients in that are complaining because of waiting and have you wait longer. not very smart to do when your primary doctor highly recommend this surgeon to me. not doing it!! if on my first visit this is how im treated, then how will it be later??? no thank you. will be letting my doctor who highly recommend this surgeon to me that it was nothing like i was told it would be. i do not recommend this place to no one because no one should be treated like that. i had to give one star because the girls are super sweet and just can't help it. karina and the 2 front receptionist are super nice and professional but the blonde girl on the back is just rude and not very friendly. she actually seemed very prejudice. not good. i actually think it was best for this. something always happens for a reason and maybe having this surgeon was not good for me. but keep in mind that you must have the time and patience to wait to be seen for at least 4 hours. read more

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, I consulted with several plastic surgeons for my reconstruction. I was not pleased with the surgical plan of any of the surgeons, and felt my requests (for what I did and did not want) were reasonable and could be achieved. All of the surgeons said it couldn't be done the way I wanted ... until I consulted with Dr. Linda Zeineh. After hearing me out and considering my ideas, concerns, and situation, she said that she thought she could do it. She was up to the challenge! She diligently and selflessly worked far longer than normal during my surgery trying to accomplish my desired method and outcome ... and she succeeded beautifully! I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a patient with a double mastectomy and reconstruction whose breasts look as good as mine. I'd even say that my breasts look better than a lot of women who've not had a mastectomy. Originally (before my original surgery) we made secondary plans to do a revision to perfect any imperfections that typically would occur with mastectomy and immediate reconstruction (that is the normal plan); however, after healing from my original surgery, I was so pleased that I did not get any revision. It is not evident from looking at my breasts that I ever had a mastectomy/reconstruction. While there are a couple minor things that could be perfected, I thought it would be foolish of me to take the risks that come with surgery, for the sake of vanity, given how good my breasts turned out; and given that because of the cancer, I became acutely aware of my mortality. What a shame it would be to survive the cancer, and die as a result of vanity/perfectionism. I cannot thank and recommend Dr. Zeineh enough! She went out of her way for me, was always respectful and considerate, dedicated her time for me, did not rush through my appointments or dismiss my concerns or ideas, and she did a beautiful job! read more
