    I wrote a review in 2015 when I first came to Dr. Park. He was a great Dr back then. Now, he's…read morerunning a plastic surgery mill! To start with he botched my recent surgeries. I say surgeries because his staff left sutures in me by accident and they got infected! Two weeks after they removed the sutures you could literally see inside my breast tissue as the wound opened up! I came back to Dr Park because I was so happy with my first surgeries with him as he fixed my capsular contracture. This time 10 years later I came back for a down size in implants and a lollipop lift. When I had my scheduled surgery they were running behind so I had to wait for hours even though my surgery time was very early before sun came up o'clock! They still hooked me up to an IV and left me sitting there alone for so long my IV bag went empty! I had to pee so bad because I took the whole IV bag, so I had to call from the bed on my cell phone to the front office because no one was coming to help me. It was awful! Finally a nurse came back and change my IV bag and let me go pee. Then they brought out the patient they were working on, they woke her up, she was in so much pain and moaning, asking for something for the pain and they told her to take the pain meds when she got home. Five minutes later a door opened and she went home. That was a omen for my future self! This was Two hours after I was told to be there for my surgery, they finally took me back after that patient left. It was frightening because they had me walk to the surgery room dragging my IV port, and see all the tools they were going to use. It seemed so unprofessional and not like the first time I had surgery there years ago. I was hooked up and cried myself into a medicated sleep, never seeing Dr. Park! I don't even know if he's the one who actually did my surgery because he wasn't in the room. Maybe that is why he didn't put back in the 'Stratice' that kept me from getting the capsular contracture in my first surgery with him. To pick up where I left off, the worst experience having surgery in my life! Just like the girl before me, I woke up in so much pain and nauseous! I told the girl I'm feeling very nauseous and within seconds, with no warning she stabbed me in my arm with a needle to give me nauseous medicine! Wtf did she not give that to me and my IV?! My prior surgeries I've had they always give it to you either before via a patch that goes behind your ear which they didn't do here, or they usually give it to you via the IV when they know you get nauseous from anesthesia. That was extremely painful she didn't say anything about it just stab me in my arm and it hurt for days afterwards. They didn't give me any pain medication like the girl before told me to take it when I get home which is crazy because usually like I said before in other surgeries they usually give you pain meds through the IV so you aren't an excruciating pain when you wake up. I never saw Dr Park on my surgery today that was very suspect. The surgery ended up being a flop my breasts were deformed there was skin hanging from one side he moved my nipples but forgot a piece of my nipple so I have two nipples on one breast, the other one my nipple is much lower than my other breast and much higher than the other one they're completely deformed he wanted me to have another surgery a third surgery, and wanted to charge me $10,000 to fix his mistakes! No thanks, I'm now researching other doctors to fix his botched work. I think Dr Park is too busy with his radio show and trying to be famous that he's completely forgot the whole purpose was to do quality plastic surgery! He completely forgot to put the stratice back in which was keeping me from having capsular contracture. It's been a year now and my breasts have started capsulating again. When I had my post-op I asked Dr Park if he put the stratice back in and he looked at me with a blank face like oh s*** look on his face, and said no and played it off that I got the "gummy bear" implants so it shouldn't be a problem. Yadda yadda yadda. Lo and behold now my breasts are capsulating again. So I'll be going in for a 7th surgery I won't be going back to Dr Park ever again that's for sure! The nurses are terribly rude when Dr Park isn't around. Not sure if he knows this. They all act like they don't need your business. So, they got their wish. They won't be getting my business and I hope you think twice about going to this chop shop!!!

    I was referred to Dr. Gilbert because I was interested in removing a devitalized molar and getting…read morea dental implant. The molar had been bothering me for years but I finally decided to do something about it. When I had my X-ray taken, Dr. Gilbert showed me that the molar and surrounding gum tissue were infected and that my body has been fighting an active infection! I had been feeling more run-down than usual this past year I thought that it could be this molar; I was relieved to discover that I was right. I immediately scheduled a surgery date for the extraction, bone graft, and ensuing dental implant. Dr. Gilbert told me that I would feel so much better after getting the molar removed. The day arrived and I had my molar removed as a well as the bone graft. Dr. Gilbert was right, I felt so much better immediately after surgery! I didn't bleed much and didn't have much swelling. Moreover, I barely had any pain and only had to take one Motrin the first day - which I took preemptively but I probably didn't need it. About a month ago, I went back for the dental implant procedure. The X-ray showed that my bone graft was adequate and I went right into surgery. After the second surgery, I was grateful to experience a similar result as the first surgery - very little bleeding, pain, or swelling. I just went in for my 4 week follow-up and my implant healed nicely, so nicely in fact that my gums healed over the implant! I have a bone-disease similar to osteoporosis and I'm very particular about who I choose to operate on me. Dr. Gilbert presented himself as professional, confident, and most importantly capable of meeting the challenge of performing a successful dental implant procedure on me. Thank you, Dr. Gilbert! And also thank you to all of the staff and dental assistants who are all very pleasant and respectful of their patient's time!

I have had Botox, Jevederm (my lips filled), and chemicals peels done by her. I have gone to others in town for these procedures, but I have stayed with her because I look "natural" and "refreshed". Previous botox experiences at other companies made my eyebrows look like Spock from Star Trek. I love the way she makes me look! My lips look full and natural and do not look "overdone". She gave me a cute plump in my pout. My boyfriend loves the look. She offers beauty parties where she comes to your house. I hosted one for a fun "girl's night" with old friends and for every friend I had at the party she gave me $50 that I could use toward my treatments. So I had 4 friends at my Beauty Party and that was $200 so that was $200 bucks in free botox. My friends love her and go to her now as well. Beware New Botox users! Some places that offer cheap Botox per unit are using a lot of saline in their Botox, so it doesn't last as long. You are getting it weak! Make sure you ask how much part saline to Botox they are using. Nicole uses the higher Botox to saline ratio. Her prescription skin care is AMAZING!. I bought the retinol (x3) and I love it! Next time, I will try the retinol (x5) to check out the difference. First time I have ever used a cream that did what it claimed to do. Because it is by prescription through her, it is medical grade strength, a higher level than any over the counter skin care. My friend at work actually stopped me and said "what are you doing? your skin looks amazing!" First time I ever put out $75 bucks on skin care and thought it was worth it.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Brian K. Machida and his entire staff. My experience…read morewith their office has been exceptional from beginning to end. Dr. Machida performed my deep plane facelift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, full-face laser treatment, and additional CO laser resurfacing around my mouth. Throughout the entire process, I always felt listened to, cared for, and treated with genuine kindness. Dr. Machida is highly skilled, meticulous, and takes the time to answer questions and make sure his patients feel comfortable and informed. What impressed me most was not only the quality of his work, but also the level of support and follow-up I received. Knowing that my surgeon and his team truly cared about my recovery gave me tremendous peace of mind. His staff is absolutely amazing. Everyone is warm, professional, and compassionate. I especially want to recognize Bertha at the front desk. She is simply lovely. Every time I visited, she greeted me with kindness and always sent me off with a cheerful "Safe travels." Those little personal touches mean so much and make you feel like family rather than just another patient. Cosmetic surgery is a big decision, and I am grateful that I chose Dr. Machida and his team. Their skill, compassion, and dedication to their patients are truly outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Brian K. Machida to anyone seeking facial plastic surgery and rejuvenation procedures.

    If you are not keen to read a longer review, the headline is DR. MACHIDA IS THE BEST AND I REALLY…read moreCANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH! For further detail, keep reading... ...I don't think I have experienced anything in life where I have felt so confident and eager to recommend something with no doubt - I am worried I won't find the words to truly convey how skilled Dr. Machida is as a facelift surgeon (as well as upper blepharoplasty) but I will try my best because I want anyone considering this surgery to visit Dr. Machida for a consultation. I am going to jump ahead and highlight now that my results and recovery were INCREDIBLE (just in case people don't make it to the end because I know this is a bit long) - I am so delighted with both. I had been researching facelift surgery for almost one year and was becoming overwhelmed at what felt like an impossible decision - how could I decide who I could trust to operate on my face?! I explored many surgeons from London in England (where I am from), to many across Los Angeles, including Beverly Hills, attending several consultations, but I just did not feel fully 'sold' on any surgeon I saw. When I came across Dr. Machida online, I felt encouraged but, to be honest, a little sceptical - his reviews were so good, I thought, can this be true?? Honestly, from the moment I called his office and spoke with Bertha, I started to feel excited - this felt different, it sounds silly, but I could just tell that these people knew what they were doing. There was no sales patter, no pressure, just clear information with a warmth that immediately made me feel at ease. This feeling was entirely cemented when I attended the clinic for my consultation. I could write pages and pages but all I will say is, I wish I had met someone like me over a year ago who could tell me that this is the right decision. Of course, you do not know me, you don't know if you can trust me but, believe me, I am fussy, hard to please and will research everything to the most extreme degree. I wasn't willing to scrimp when it came to an operation on my face but, equally, I was not willing to use my life savings for this procedure which is why my research had to be meticulous. Dr. Machida and his staff are too good to be true...except they are not! Dr. Machida is a magician, Sharon is a wonder, her care for me was more than my mother would give, I swear! Norma is a joy and Bertha will leave no stone unturned to help you...she always goes above and beyond to ensure you feel like the most precious patient in the world. As soon as you walk in to the office, you will feel the most genuine warmth and care. My results are perfect, they totally exceeded my expectations, and my 'recovery', the speed of it still amazes me, three months later. I have read so much about others' tough recoveries which, to be honest, I was expecting - I mean it's full face surgery, it seems a big deal, right?! I was expecting the worst BUT...honestly, it was shockingly easy, I experienced very little pain and discomfort. I cleaned my entire house five days after my surgery, it was as though I had only undergone a minor procedure. I don't know how Dr. Machida manages this, like I said, a true magician. To clarify, I had the deep plane face/neck lift, upper blepharoplasty and the full face CO2 laser treatment. At no point was there ANY upsell - I enquired for the upper blepharoplasty, in addition, and Dr. Machida said he did not think it was a necessity but that he could understand my desire and he told me to go away and fully consider whether I really felt I needed it. This is entirely the opposite of any of my other consultations where they all added on recommended procedures which I had not mentioned. You will not regret this decision and, as bonus to the wonderful results you will enjoy, you will meet a special group of people you will never forget.

I began hormone replacement therapy (HRT) through the wellness side of Li Surgery in November, with a scheduled follow-up in February for pellet reinsertion. In January, I also enrolled in an additional 3-month program, with a follow-up appointment scheduled for the same February date. On the day of my appointment, I received a call informing me that the wellness center was closing effective immediately. This left me scrambling to find a new HRT provider, which is already a stressful and time-sensitive process. I reached out regarding a refund for the 3-month program I had just started in January. After multiple emails and calls with no response, I was eventually told I would not receive a refund because I had received medication. However, I was only provided a 30-day vial for what was supposed to be a 90-day program. I did not receive additional refills, nor did I receive the follow-up visits that were included in the program services that were canceled by the clinic, not by me. Additionally, the original flyer clearly stated that if the treatment was not a good fit or did not work, a full refund would be issued. Despite this, I have still not received any refund or resolution. Prior to this situation, my experience was positive, staff were friendly and the clinic appeared professional. Unfortunately, the way this closure and billing issue have been handled has been extremely disappointing and has left me without both care and accountability. I hope the office takes responsibility and works toward a fair resolution.
