If I could give Dr. Driessen and her team more than 5 stars I would. I learned about her via word of mouth from a local moms group I'm in. I heard she truly cares about her patients and was extremely kind and empathetic, and that her work is exceptional- and that was 100% true. As soon as I came in for my consultation I knew she was the surgeon for me, she was extremely thorough and spent over an hour and a half just answering my questions. At pre-op Dr. Driessen again spent HOURS answering my questions, reviewing the procedures with me, all the while being kind, patient, and understanding with me. Day of surgery her team were amazing. The nursing staff were so reassuring and sweet. I'm on day 3 post op today and got to come in and see the results and CRIED. I could not believe how amazing my results are! Dr. Driessen and her entire staff are extremely skilled, kind, perfectionists. I will refer her to every one, and I wouldn't consider going to anyone else in the future. These procedures literally changed my life and I am eternally grateful for the care I received. read more

Do not go to Dr. Driessen for breast implants. She did a terrible job on me and two years later I'm researching doctors to get them fixed and redone. She was very nice during pre op but post op I got ignored for weeks and then when she finally returned my call she was extremely rude to me in answer to my questions. Such a disappointing and frustrating experience. read more

There are many talented doctors like Ms. Driessen, but none who ask for money many months before the consult! Dr. Brent Molleken in Beverly Hills doesn't...............and the list goes on. This way of doing business makes sense if you are booking an oil change on your car. Whether surgery costs $75,000.00 or more, add your booking fee to the end of the bill. NOT BEFORE YOU HAVE EVER MET your patient! Only a doctor who has had so many cancellations would feel the need to put up a fee before meeting the doctor. read more

Dr. Driessen did a capsulectomy on one of my breasts and replaced my old implants. Dr. Driessen, Tina and their entire team took care of me every step of the way. The level of care is absolutely amazing. I didn't feel rushed in any appointments, which I know is very common in most offices. Every staff member took their time to answer questions and I truly felt like I was part of their family at the end of it all. I am fully recovered & healed now and the capsule in my breast shows no signs of coming back. Dr. Driessen took all precautions to ensure it didn't. I am so happy I decided to put my trust in this office. I would recommend them to my friends and family and anybody who needs a dermatology and/or cosmetic procedure! read more

Dr. Driessen is GOLD she will always have a special place in my heart for her kind soul the world of Doctors needs more like her!!! Dr. Driessen is one of the sweetest most kind individuals I have ever met. During my consultation she made me feel as if I was talking to a close friend or family member. Her work is impeccable and her staff/team are so professional and caring. She is truly the best and beyond. Everyone there is just amazing! read more

I am 63 years old with heavy breast. 32 FF. I weigh about 112 and I am 5'3. I also have have a anterior rib injury. I have looked for years to find the right Dr. Thank goodness I did! Dr Dreissen, and her staff ( in a short time I have learned there names) are the best! I had very little discomfort. Pain pills for only 2 days. I feel apart of the office with the courtesy, professionalism and personal touch I felt. I am forever grateful for the service and care I have been provided. Tits up the best dr in the valley for breast mammoplasty. read more

The office is nice, and the staff professional. I've had two chemical peels here, and I'm really happy with the results. Amanda is really good, I highly recommend her! read more

My first consult was at the end of 2019 and so I set a date for a follow up in Feb 2021. Again, Dr. Driessen was so... sigh, I can't even describe it, but I'll try. Just a good person. Happy, friendly, HONEST, kind. I look forward to the day she does some work on me. Fast forward a couple days, I decided to make a facial appointment and saw Juliana for a Hydrafacial. It was my first facial since July 2019, so needless to say, I was overdue. Very happy with the facial! PRO TIP: If you're going in for a facial, take CASH for your gratuity; they don't allow for a write in. (Office Admin.... maybe consider fixing that? Or at least let people know at booking to bring cash? I felt like I slapped Juliana across the face because I only had $18 on me, which is a mere 10% for the service I received. Not okay.) read more

Where don't even start, I have been seeing Natalie for the past 3 years , she is patient kind and knows exactly what you want , I couldn't be more happy with my most recent surgery .

I called today to get a consult for breast cancer reconstruction. Was told the doctor would not be taking insurance starting January 2025. Her 1st available consult would be December 2024. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! All about the money. read more

I can't speak highly enough of this office, my entire experience, from the moment I walked in, was Fantastic. The staff was friendly and effcient, and Lisa was not only knowledgeable but also took time to address all my questions and concerns, about my fillers. Amanda, is as Magic as you can get with lasers. I'm so glad I found this Wonderful group. I won't go anywhere else, when it comes to my Skin! In April I go back for a hydra facial, I can't wait. read more

I would leave a 10+ star review if I could. I don't even know where to start. All I can say is, what an amazing experience. Dr. Driessen and her staff are so kind, caring and understanding. Everyone in the office makes you feel comfortable, especially since I was nervous about having a correction made from a previous botched surgery by a very unprofessional doctor here in the valley. Dr. Driessen knew exactly what to do to correct my previous surgery and my results are amazing! I'm so glad I followed through with the procedure, but more importantly I'm happy that I chose a concerned and caring doctor to do so. I would highly recommend Dr. Driessen to anyone. read more

Office experience was exceptional. Explanations were thorough. Everything went exactly as described and discussed.

What a pleasure it was to meet Dr. Driessen. Not only did she come into our appointment with a smile on her face, but also with enthusiasm and true genuineness! She went over the notes I had told the girls at the desk and walked me through the differences of each filler in regards to what I was looking for. Ultimately we both were on the same page as to what I thought was best for me. She agreed and confirmed what I had initially thought. I'm more on the natural scale of beauty so I didn't want anything noticeable to a stranger. I noticed that after turning 30 I had lost some volume on my bottom lip (what a bummer). She addressed it and we decided that Volbella would be my perfect fit. It does dissolve after 4-6 months depending on your body chemistry which was good for me, considering if I didn't like the results, it doesn't last forever. I was grateful for the strong numbing gel (20 minutes to fully numb) because I'm a wimp. Hardly felt a thing. No bleeding or bruising afterwards. *I also think that is because I made sure not to use any ibuprofen or drink the night before my appointment. Ultimately I only used one syringe and only injected into my bottom lip. The great part is that they store any remainder you have for your next visit. And I find with the Volbella, my lips are still soft and supple. Not firm like other fillers. I'll be back and refer any friends that have some upgrading to do! read more

AMAZING is the only way I can describe my experience with Dr Driessen! Not only is she sweet, personable and caring.. she made me totally confident and excited for a surgery that had been BOTCHED several times over the years. My enhancement is FINALLY corrected and beautiful! I will never think of any procedure unless she is the surgeon. She is the best! And, by the way, her whole staff is a pleasure to work with. read more

Dr. Driessen is an amazing physician. Her listening skills are remarkable. The surgical procedure I needed was done perfectly. My expectations of my outcome was exactly what I received. She has the most caring and kind manor. She and her staff are there to take care of you from beginning to the end. I would without any hesitation recommend Dr. Driessen. Out of the many surgical procedures I've had regarding my recent one,she by far was the best physician I could have chosen. I would return to see her if I ever wanted or needed anything else done . read more

Britney is the best! Had my lips done and there was hardly any pain, just a little pinprick and no bruising which is incredible! They look natural, just fuller and very natural. Highly recommended read more

I recently had a breast augmentation! This has been something i thought about for a while! I just wasn't able to find the right doctor. I look and looked.. i had several consultations, until i came cross an influencer on Instagram. Her name is Kim. I decided to look up Dr.Driessen and had a consultation a week later. She is so sweet! And she made me feel comfortable and welcomed! The girls at the office are all really nice and professional! The day of the surgery, i didn't expect to get treated as good as i did! She explained everything to me before i went in. She made me feel as ease. Everything went so smooth. I couldn't be happier! I love love love my boobs now! If you're looking for a doctor she is the one! She offers a lot of different things at her office. Lip injections, Botox, cool sculpting, laser treatments, etc. Thank you Dr. Driessen and Kim!

Dr Natalie Driessen is amazing, she did a breast augmentation and a lift on me, she did amazing work, from day 1 on my consultation she was nice, honest, and she made me feel so comfortable and she really wanted to make me look and feel my best. Every staff member was also amazing, everyone was very nice, very helpful, made my whole experience a wonderful exciting one. Even after surgery Dr Driessen called me many times to check on me. Make sure I was comfortable. I wouldn't provide this information if it wasn't true. Dr Natalie Driessen and her team are the best hands down. read more

Dr. Driessen, along with her office staff, are exceptional! [I have also written a review on Google.] I believe she, and her staff are a rare finding in this often crazy complicated medical world when seeking assistance with medical issues--in my case breast reduction. Thanks to Dr. Driessen, I was able to get them off my chest with great solace! She walks the talk, she is compassionate and thorough. In my opinion, she wins the trophy for being one of the Best Plastic Surgeon's in the High Desert!! Appreciatively, S. Compton read more

I was/am desperately seeking a plastic surgeon to do a revision after my breast reconstruction. The surgeon who performed the reconstruction after my mastectomy told me he is leaving the hospital where I had my operation and it is unknown when I would be able to do the revisions that are necessary, such as replacing my left implant with a larger one to match the right side. Dr. Driessen looked like the perfect place to turn to because her website said that "thousands of women are unsatisfied with their previous breast reconstruction surgery and in need of breast revision surgery," and that she is "pleased to offer effective breast reconstruction revision and is eager to help you achieve the balanced attractive form you desire." Well, then why was the office staff courteous until I explained why I called. She cut me off when I asked for a consultation saying that the doctor was not taking any new patients! A plastic surgeon not taking new patients? That is very confusing. Their business depends on new patients, unlike an internist who treats their patients on a regular and recurring basis. I asked for a referral and was given the name of a general surgeon, not a specialist, and the reviews were not exactly glowing. I am very sad because I have been left in the lurch and do not know where to turn. read more

Easy scheduling and the prices were not ridiculous. It was during the pandemic and they did not perform biopsy as they probably should have. Otherwise would have been 5 stars. read more

Dr. Driessen performed my surgery yesterday and I'm so satisfied, that the first thing I'm doing this morning is writing a review! I had implants that had no problem, but an exchange was way over due! I am a little much, so I explained to her that I wanted to go as full as possible. She explained a few things to me and let me know what would be right for me, as she said she wanted them to be "perfect" for me. If perfect is a thing, she achieved it! I am so so pleased, from the front desk staff, the back office, to the OR staff 'Angie' and 'Lisa' ,the anesthesiologist and of course the BEST plastic surgeon Dr. Driessen herself. If I could give a million stars I would! My augmentation is gorgeous! Thank you Dr. D! read more

I don't even know where to begin with this review, but if I could sum it up quickly it would be GO TO DR. DRIESSEN. I originally had my breast implant and lift scheduled with a different plastic surgeon who suddenly passed away. Already being crushed by that news, I had multiple consultations with other surgeons who treated me less than human. I was not seen nor heard, I was degraded and also quoted at obscene prices. By the time I decided to go to Driessen for a consult, I had decided it would be my last consult, especially because my self esteem was already fragile and I was going to have to pay for the consult. I didn't want to pay to feel like trash. LET ME TELL YOU, Dr Driessen and her entire staff could not have given me a better experience. Even if I never went through with the surgery (I definitely did and my boobs are ICONIC) they were all so kind, welcoming and made me feel like I was worth something. They made the entire experience from the consultation, to the pre-op, surgery and post op care the most reassuring and EASY experience. If I had an issue with the pharmacy, covid test or literally anything they immediately made phone calls to get it done. I was very scared the day of surgery but the entire staff was so comforting before, during and after the entire experience. I could honestly sit here and type out a novel dedicated to everything she gave me physically and emotionally but I will bring this to a close and say Dr Driessen changed my life, she made me feel like I mattered as a person and a patient and I could not have asked for a better experience. read more

Dr. Driessen is the best of the best. I have been in her care as well as her husband's for several years. A recent surgery performed by Dr. Driessen gave me the expected results with minimal down time. Her pre-op information was comprehensive, her bedside manner is caring and concerned. The hospital staff at Eisenhower have great respect for her capabilities and compliment her for her kind regard of colleagues. read more

Dr. Driessen is amazing. She does great works, goes above and beyond and is very professional. Her staff is awesome. Christina is awesome and so helpful with absolutely everything. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else!! read more

Looking for the best? Exceptional patient care, excellent treatment from my first encounter,; I was put at ease with clear understanding of exactly what would be performed and how. I was provided pamplets to read at home, but Dr Driessen had already explained and showed me everything. What a comfort, to wake up after surgery and have her there, ensuring I was okay and answering any questions. A person I referred, told me later, while trying to explain her visit, " .....she, she, ah, she's.." n I finished the sentence for her " an angel" & the lady replied " Yes! Yes! That's it. She is an angel and Is fixing my mom's scars from another Drs horrible breast surgery. I can't thank you enough" read more

What a pleasure to experience such a friendly atmosphere and when you meet Dr. Driessen you can just tell she is a caring professional. She is just a naturally happy person and really listens to your concerns to help you find the solution that is best for you. I had gone in thinking that maybe I needed a facelift. Dr. Driessen came up with a better solution that will give me exceptional results. The whole experience has a spa-like atmosphere and her staff are wonderful people who carry through with that same friendly compassionate professional attitude. They definitely know about providing great customer service and the extras that make you feel like royalty. I highly recommend Dr. Natalie Driessen! read more

Dr. Driessen is the real deal. Professional, warm and friendly and you can clearly see that she cares about her patient's comfort and well being. I learned of Dr Driessen by way of being a dermatology patient of Dr. Messina. They share an office and are a husband and wife team. You can see this is a family business as opposed to the impersonal approach of so many practices today. Staff is so friendly with a nice greeting when you enter and courtesy all the way through. Appointments are very prompt. I wanted to do some natural "refreshing" to my face. At 63, I take great care of my health and body but wanted to diminish some of my facial lines yet not look overdone. I had heard that Dr Driessen had many reconstructive patients that had followed her to Palm Desert when she moved her Riverside practice 1 and 1|2 years ago to the desert. That impressed me and when I sat in the chair ready to begin I understood why. Her big smile put me at ease the moment she walked in. Dr Driessen took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and as she began work, frequently asked how I was feeling, or showed me the mirror to see the immediate results and fine tune as I wanted. Her attention to detail was excellent. I had a minimal amount of swelling and immediately saw the difference in my face. It was exactly what I envisioned. I had also decided to try CoolSculpting to minimize some stubborn upper belly fat that wouldn't go away no matter how much I exercised. I'd seen the billboards and the ads everywhere and when I saw that her office offered this procedure and it could all be done on the same day I was thrilled. Tina was my technician and she was so friendly, well trained and answered all my questions which put me at ease. One month later, I am so happy with the results. Some dresses that had been snug through the midsection now fit perfectly and I'm told it takes a full 3 months for the final look to set in. Thank you to Dr. Driessen and staff for such a great experience and fabulous results. read more

"AMAZING SURGEON" In love with my results. After seeing multiple plastic surgeons. I immediately knew I wanted my breast augmentation done by Dr .Natalie Driessen . The office is very elegant and clean. I was always greeted by staff members with a smile on their face. Making sure my visit was well taken care of. Dr. Driessen is an exceptional doctor. In my consultation she answered all my questions with knowledge, she went over all the details and was so patient. I was surprised she took so much time to make sure that my questions were answered and my concerns were addressed because this was my very first cosmetic procedure ever and I was full of questions. She then advised me of the appropriate cc's that would fit my body. She had a clear understanding of the look I was going for. She made me feel so comfortable and that was a big factor for me. You could tell she cares deeply about her patients. I've been wanting the surgery done for a while already I did a lot of research and the hardest decision people had was finding the right doctor they said you'll know when you find your doctor and after meeting Dr. D I knew my search was over. On my surgery date she was on time , asked if I had any questions before surgery and how I was feeling that morning then asked if I was nervous. I " WAS NOT" nervous one bit and that's the vibe she gives you! Also everyone in the surgery room made me feel like I was in good hands. I went with silicone 385cc under the muscle. My surgery was a success. Everything went well after surgery I was in minimal pain. The very next day I was able to move my arms up and down with no problems. I had no problem doing anything for myself after surgery. I was off the pain meds a week after surgery just taking Tylenol if needed. I did not bleed after nor did I have swelling or bruising at all in the whole time of recovering. I did a lot of research watched many YouTube videos about breast augmentation and women saying how painful it was and how they couldn't lift up there arms or hold a cup also ! Which completely scared me. I'm happy that I can't compare my self to them since I didn't have that problem with my surgery. My scar is under my breast which is healing very well the scar is very small and thin! Showing Natalie Driessen did and amazing job on me! Making me feel good about myself. I now have the breast I've always dreamt of they feel natural and look fantastic truly is the best decision I've made! Worth every penny. The Patient Care Coordinator Malorie Manriqueis was so amazing and kind as well always took care of me and answered all my questions. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Driessen to anyone considering plastic surgery. Remember cosmetics surgery is a super huge deal, It requires a well knowledge surgeon with skillful hands, and attention to detail and Dr Driessen has all of that. Check her out for your self, you'll know she the one within minutes of your consultation! read more
