Professional doctor and staff. I was very pleased with my recent procedure and would recommend Dr. Kolder and office staff.

I am thrilled to have found Candy! Not easy to trust someone who is doing facial procedures. The whole staff makes the visit and procedure easy. Highly recommend! read more

Candy! What a fabulous RN who really knows what to suggest. I had the BBL and MLP and it was the absolute perfect suggestion for me. The one two punch was what I didn't even know I needed and the price was astonishingly affordable. I've had a similar treatment and paid a whole lot more for it. She serious about her craft and will not make you look like a guppy. I'm so grateful I found her because she's by far, the best. read more

I always go to Candy, she has done my PDO threads, fillers and botox. She is amazing and the best in town!! read more

Very friendly staff and the nurse and Doctor were just fabulous!! Very caring and compassionate. And funny too

I was not expecting my bruise to last as long as it did (11 days and counting) and would not have gone through with it prior to a big event had I known a bruise on my face would be very possible even after two weeks. After talking to Dr Kolder I felt better about his clinic and I believe they will be even more communicative to their clients and not make an assurance that a bruise could or would be gone in a week or so. Personally, I would advise a three week window prior to events for injectables to anyone. I guess you can never tell if you will bruise or not. He asked me to come back in a week for another follow up. Waiting for results still. Not entirely happy after 2 weeks. Maybe it takes more time. But it looks like I'm still the same Update 8/12. Not that impressed with the $1000 spent . 8/18. disappointed in juvaderm and expectations. No improvement. Waste of money. read more

I had a great experience at Pacifica! A very warm welcome from Christy the receptionist. She was so knowledgeable on the juvederm savings program and made payments effortless! Kandy did my juvederm lip procedure and made sure everything was perfect! She will not let you leave without having the perfect pout! She was kind enough to help me with filling a acne scar I had as well. Very knowledgeable and sweet! Gina the office manager is a straight girl boss! She helps run that office with ease. Give them a try for all your beauty needs, you won't be sorry! Big thank you to my Mama (a patient ss well) for such a wonderful Christmas present!! read more

The nurse and then Dr. E (I apologize for having her full name but it isn't listed on m no the website.) Both of them were more concerned about my understanding their pricing than addressing my issues even after it had been explained and I repeated it back. The doctor failed to introduce herself and had such a photographic type memory that she sounded like she was reading out of a book. I was informed prescriptions were sent to my pharmacy. I was advised one needed a prior authorization and the other was $500. A week later I was looking for different meds to replace the prescriptions. I waited about a second week and complained to the office manager and she followed up with the nurse who apologized profusely for the delay and lack of return calls, but this was the type of up service I received. I was offered and made an appointment with a different doctor but at this point it was about a month and I was beyond frustrated with their office was that I immediately canceled the appointment I had just made. Personally I didn't like Dr. E nor the office responses to figuring out my meds. I would no t recommend this practice! read more

Always good seeing the very sweet, empathetic ladies from Geena, Jamie, Janey, Brenda, Abby a spectacular intern, and the rest of the ladies. I was in good hands as i had my treatment done by Dr. Kolder. It was really awesome speaking with and having the fractional laser done by the doctor. The local anesthesia hurt but the doctor was fast and made sure to get all my sensitive areas. Treatment was super pleasant, didn't hurt in the least. Am very pleased, now just recovering and ready for follow up treatments and results, which, should be outstanding. Dr. Kolder is a perfectionist and just so precise. Really loved the visit. read more

I've been going to Pacifica Med Spa since 2016 and I can't say enough about the people and the excellent service there. Candy is excellent when it comes to fillers, botox, etc. She's very conscientious, very knowledgeable and friendly. Geena is one of the nicest people I've ever met. She goes above and beyond in making sure that you will receive the best possible care, and she is always there for you should you have any concerns. They take care of you like family. The staff at Pacifica are all incredible and caring. I would never go anywhere else! (by the way, I am not in San Francisco, I live in Westlake Village, but I do not know how to change this. Any help would be appreciated) read more

If you are looking for FANTASTIC customer service and being treated wonderfully.....this is the place! Christi and Candy and have bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule. (Which can be kinda impossible) And they have done it with a positive attitude! I am sooooo appreciative to them both! They are most wonderful to work with! Plus...Candy is brilliant at the work that she does. I have had botox and a BBL...and I look forward to more services with her! In the day and age where good customer service is hard to come by...you will so happy that you chose Pacifica Med Spa! Thank you Christi and Candy! read more

Candy is AMAZING!!! I have been getting injections for years and Candy is by far the best. I drive all the way from WeHo to Camarillo because she is worth every second of the 47 mile drive. The doctors in Beverly Hills are over priced and they under deliver. Candy has helped my confidence tremendously. I had no lips and bad skin before Candy helped me. I do lasers, lip injections and Botox with her and I will never go anywhere else. She's also fun and makes sure I don't freak out since I'm TERRIFIED of needles. Geena is also incredible. She helps me figure out what I can do to help my confidence and she communicates everything to Candy so that I get exactly what I need. She goes above and beyond to make sure I'm taken care of and always a happier person when I see the results. I love both of these women and this spa. I wish I could give it 6 stars. read more

Pacifica Med Spa - Camarillo - I now have confidence and lips thanks to Candy! I used to hide from cameras and now I take pictures as a hobby. Thank you, Candy!!! - Medical Spas Near Me - Camarillo, California

I am so impressed with Dr. Kolder's surgical skills! Dr. Kolder did a facelift on one of my best friends several weeks ago (November 2022). It is phenomenal. Looks 20 years younger without the extra skin. Added bonus - zero bruising and less than ten weeks after the surgery, cannot see any scars. Lupita, Dr. Kolder's nurse, was equally wonderful...no pain while removing the few stitches and incredibly kind and compassionate. Candy, the aesthetician, is equally gifted at her craft using fillers and botox. Just as important, the entire staff is courteous and helpful. Prices are reasonable, parking is easy, and the offices are immaculate. You could go anywhere and never receive the wonderful, effective treatment you can obtain at Pacifica. There is no reason to look anywhere else other than Pacifica for your needs. read more

Dr Daniel Kolder not just the best surgeon but the most sensitive and understanding surgeon you'll ever know . Surgery is scary and intense for sure but when you have the backing of such a professional team from beginning to end . The end result is a deep breath and faith in your team. P.S. the Diamond behind the scene is Geena if it wasent for her I would have never proceeded . Her patience and personality made me feel at ease. read more

Can't say enough about how amazing this place is! The girls at the front desk are super friendly and great at answering any questions you have. I got a syringe of juvaderm in my lips done by Candy and a month later decided I wanted to go a little fuller. She was honest with me and said I didn't need that much more in my lips and used some of it to fill in my smile lines and define my cheekbones. I am so happy with my results and will definitely be back! read more

CANDY is amazing! Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and skilled and what she does, she is so sweet and caring. I felt in such good hands the second I met Candy and was taken back for appointment. She thoroughly expressed all my options with Botox and realistic results (even went as far explaining facial anatomy to fully explain how Botox works and why I have heard- and was fearful- of the brows dropping and other horror stories). The best part is I didn't feel at all she was trying to up sell me. She actually suggested going more conservative which I appreciated as the cost was also a consideration for me. Overall such a great experience with magnificent results that certainly exceeded my expectations. Gina at the front desk was so sweet and accommodating to my limited schedule and wanting an appointment ASAP!!!! read more

This review is LONG overdue but the staff did such a great job so I wanted to make sure that they were recognized for how wonderful they are! First, Janee is absolutely amazing! She is super sweet, her customer service skills are incredibly polished (I work in the customer service realm so I feel qualified to make that judgement) and she will work really hard to find you a place on the schedule if you try to book last minute (like I did). Second, the office is very nice and tranquil. There is a ton of parking available and the office is huge. There is plenty of comfortable seating and magazines to browse through, though you won't be waiting long because they are very punctual. Lastly, Wendy, whom I received a half syringe of Juvederm in the lips from, was fabulous! She was very calming, took her time, and was very a tune to symmetry. My lips look wonderful and very natural which is exactly what I wanted. I used to see Dr Li in Beverly Hills but the drive is insane (it's literally like a whole day event to get down there) and you had to pay for parking (they didn't validate). I will absolutely come back to Pacifica Institute and highly recommend them. **update** I still can't stop raving about Wendy and how talented she is. She has an eye for symmetry and is fantastic at what she does!! Additionally, her bedside manner is wonderful, she is super sweet and makes the whole experience comfortable. I am SO happy I found her! read more

Ok Lovely Ladies who are needing that FEEL good pick me up that comes only by experiencing the Wonder of feeling like you just rolled the clock back 10 years by finding something or someone who has the professional care & wisdom to dedicatedly improve your LOOKS! I was blessed in finding just that place & being catapulted N2 what seemed to be Heaven. ok this is what went down, I was treated like a Princess from the moment I had my 1st encounter with Geena who lead me thru the assurance that I was going to be TAKING CARE OF...then onto Dr. Kolder whose charm, skill and expertise far outweighed my fears & concerns. Now I have perky breast & skin thats like velvet due to a gracious courtesy gift of a facial pro faction Laser. Wow did I receive the ROYAL Treatment. Don'T misunderstand me, You can be made to feel like a PRINCESS also. They treat everyone with great respect & care matched with exceptional RESULTS! Personally I want 2 thank Geena 4 ALL her support as well as Candy who gave me back my Smile by skillfully Injecting Jurviderm around my talkative mouth. Thank You Staff 4 being God's instrument of exceptional plastic surgery & helping me find my FOUNTAIN of YOUTH. Pamela (aka Perky Pam) read more

Dr. Improta and Kolder's office really IS as good as it gets in terms of patient treatment, not just physically but also emotionally. The staff is incredibly warm and friendly and seem to treat everyone that comes through the door like they are THE most important patient the office has ever had. I've recently had some light injections and laser resurfacing and I was impressed with the time that the nurses took to understand my situation and goals with regards to my skin. And 4 weeks later my skin looks AMAZING. I can see how you can get addicted to the laser and Photofacials. I know a lot of people (including friends and exes) who have had more significant surgeries with both doctors and agree that they are both gifted surgeons and wonderful men. Here's the thing - there are a lot of awesome surgeons out there - people love to go to Beverly Hills because of reality shows or something, but it usually comes with a crap bedside manner and maybe even a little bit of attitude. So this is a MUST if you're local and a "STILL MUST" even if you're in Los Angeles. You've only got one face and body, so don't blow it. read more

I'm writing to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Kolder and his wonderful staff. I was truly impressed with Dr. Kolder's skills as a surgeon. He truly has a gift for helping people feel & look better about themselves. I could not be happier with the results! After consulting with several plastic surgeons throughout Ventura County, I knew right after my consultation that Dr. Kolder was the right surgeon for me. He is very informative about the procedures and answered all of my questions before I even asked them. Dr. Kolder and his staff are the BEST! My experience was outstanding and humbling! read more

Dr. Kolder and all his staff are amazing and have been wonderful throughout the whole process. I had a breast implant removal with breast lift, tummy tuck with muscle repair, hernia repair and liposuction on May 28,2019.  Dr. Kolder is an absolute genius in his field and I will never go anywhere else., his expertise and knowledge is unparalleled.  Geena is especially helpful in explaining the necessary down time, scheduling appropriately and giving the patient financial options and well as assisting with paperwork needed for medical leave and disability.  The office also offers medical spa treatments such as Botox, fillers and facial treatments everything I have gotten has been amazing my skin and my body have never looked or felt better. Thank you Dr. Kolder, Geena and Staff ! read more

I first heard about this office from a close girlfriend of mine who was scheduled to get a breast reduction and lift. I was looking for a new place to get my botox and lip injections since I recently moved to Camarillo. I went in and saw Candy for botox and juvederm a couple times before scheduling my breast augmentation consultation. To make this an easier read I will break down my review my departments.. :) Front Office Staff: Soooo sweet and always so welcoming plus they work with me when it comes to squeezing me in for an appointment or rescheduling when needed. I also love their reminder calls since life is so crazy! Candy: I am always so happy with all my injections Candy administers ( I have been going to her for almost 3 years). She listens to my concerns and wants as well as educates me on things I am thinking about getting and the results it will have. She is super personable and I refer as many people as I can because she is the best! Back office staff: I felt so comfortable with them considering I had to undress from the waist up and take photos on the Vectra machine. This is such a cool feature that allowed me to see how my breast augmentation would actually look and figure out my size. Geena- I met with Gina after my consultation to discuss financing and payments. She made this whole process a breeze! Told me about a couple different finance options as well as scheduling me for surgery super quick! She is so personable and my point of contact now for anything I need. :) From the minute I met her I felt as if I was chatting with a girlfriend! Dr Kolder: Super down to earth, honest and straight to the point. I like this because I felt like I knew the doctor I was getting and that he wanted the best results that would fit my body! I wanted to go as big as possible since I was on the smaller side to start and I got exactly what I wanted. I am in love with the results! He did an amazing job as well as his surgery staff. I could have asked for a smoother process and better experience. Thank you Dr. Kolder and the entire team at Pacifica Med Spa! See you all soon! read more

Dr. Kolder and staff are simply the best! Three months ago I had a breast reduction performed and all I can say is it has been life changing. Every step of the process has been handled with the utmost care and compassion. The entire team is dedicated to making you feel nurtured. I had so much trepidation considering the procedure. Upon my initial phone consult with Felicia, my fears waned and I knew this was the practice for me. Meeting Dr. Kolder solidified my choice and I can honestly say it's the best decision I have ever made. I love the results! The customer service is exemplary. Janee and Katelyn always there to greet you with a smile, Abbey offering invaluable support, and the incomparable Brenda who will walk with you through the entire process from beginning to end. Along with Dr. Kolder's immense talent, it simply can't get any better. I can not recommend the Pacifica Institute enough and look forward to returning throughout the years for all of my cosmetic needs. read more

Dr Kolder is amazing and his staff is as good as it gets! Professional, welcoming, warm, compassionate and so so much more! Less that 8 days ago I went in for an abdominoplasty. The thought of it scared me, but Dr Kolder took the time to explain the procedure in a manner that I could understand and in a way that made me feel comfortable and safe. Brenda, on his staff, was with me every step of the way answering my questions and keeping me calm. I'm now headed into day 9 and am amazed by my results thus far! I cannot wait to see the final outcome. If you are looking for cookie cutter or unrealistic promises Dr Kolder is NOT the surgeon for you! However, if you want the best for your body and have an understanding that everyone is unique and should be treated as such...then he is the best & ONLY choice around! Sure there are a few other surgeons (trust me I met with 3 of them) in the area you can use, but why would you settle for a lower standard for something you have to live with for the rest of your life and as important as your body? read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Candy at Pacifica Med Spa. I'll admit I've had the occasional Botox of my forehead and some lip plumping once before. I was nervous about having fillers to contour my face and lift the areas that, let's say aren't so supple anymore. Candy was very reassuring and explained her technique well. In the end I had Botox to whole forehead area and around my eyes (for crows feet). I also had Voluma filler in the cheek areas which brought a subtle lift to the lower face and filler to my nasal folds. Finally, the lips! A natural plump and look of fullness and hydration. I am beyond satisfied. I feel like it took 8 years off my face. For the record, I am 40 years old. I was shopping with my teenage daughter a few days ago and was asked if I was her sister. I'll take it! Expect some swelling and a bit of discomfort at first. Your true results will take at least a few days to be seen. So be patient. Candy provides great services. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wendy the RN is the absolute best!!!! She literally changed my life. I originally went here to get some lip injections, however she recommended something I never knew was possible. I developed bells palsy at the age of 13, now being 27 and did recover some sort but not fully she told me she could inject into my brow area, along with other areas to help lift and make more proportional. I was in awe! I never even thought about it. She has improved my bells palsy but most importantly helped regain some confidence back about myself! Not to mention my lips look fab! Highly recommend her! She's a life changer!!!!!! Their entire staff is so knowlegable and even helps with holding my twins read more

Wendy is such an amazing lip filler specialist :) It was my first time and she made sure it will Come out just right and not too much! thank you wendy you are very skilled:) read more

Staff is nice but unfortunately I didn't see any improvement with the full face halo. I also had a little hiccup the day of procedure because the receptionist gave me an empty bottle of numbing cream so I had to run over to get another at the time I was supposed to be applying to get numb. It wasn't a big deal, just inconvenient. read more

Love this place! Dr. Kolder and his staffs are amazing. I'm so happy I made the right choice. Thank you guys

AAAAAMAZING!!! I went to Candy Duffy for Botox and Filler and I just can't say enough FANTASTIC things about her! Not only was my experience excellent, but Candy is professional, gentle, sweet and BRILLIANT in her occupation! She gives a woman the gift of feeling good about herself without doing too much or too little. PLEASE GO SEE HER AND YOU WILL SEE EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN. A shout out to Kristi and Pacifica in general. CANDY, I JUST LOVE YOU! Thank you so much! I will see you, again read more

I went in April 2017 for a breast lift. Met with the doctor (Kolder) for a consult prior for about 5-7 minutes and he was out. Felt like quantity of patients, not quality of practice. Nevertheless, I made the mistake to continue with the surgery with him. Returned for a pre-op appointment. I felt rushed and that he had no time for me as a patient. As if I wasn't a high paying client, or one of his young ladies. Surgery day, fine - in and out. Recover at home was OK - except they gave me a wired bra to wear which cut, dug and made my fresh stiches break open and bleed. I called and texted several times to the patient coordinator and Dr. Kolder , to no avail. However, the head RN was helpful and realized, I was given the wrong bra. I blew it off until lately. It's been over a year and my scars are terrible. My areola's are stark white (no pigmentation) and I have about 16" total in scars that contain many keloids. I have had surgery in the past and this is not a normal healing process for my skin. My advice: get the time and respect you deserve there. On another note, most of the staff was great! The front desk gals, the head RN, Lindsey, Wendy - very kind, helpful and hopefully they will continue to grow in their careers soon. read more

Great experience with Dr Kolder and his staff! Highly recommended for anyone that's looking to replace Saline implants with Silicone. I had 3 consultations with different surgeons in Ventura County to replace my 15 year old saline breast implants with silicone. Of all 3, Dr Kolder made me feel the most comfortable due to his super friendly nature, experienced, and his great staff. Dr Kolder's expertise and caring manner came extra handy when I asked for other procedures. He was very honest and gave me information to understand that getting those procedures would not achieve my goals (spend a lot money and not have much to show for it). However, the other surgeon consultations left it up to me to decide without giving me better and more personal guidance. After selecting Dr Kolder for the procedure, I asked to be scheduled within 3 weeks and his staff took the steps to make it work for me. Then, I went into his office on a Wed at 12pm and left home at 3:30pm. Very quick surgery with super nice and warm nurses to take care of me. Then the following Monday, I was back at work. I was truly amaze at the quick and easy recovery process. The pain was very manageable (moving around quite well on day 2) compared to when I first had the implants (chest was really uncomfortable and in pain for 2-3 weeks). In week 6, I felt perfectly normal and the silicone made a big difference to the shape and feel of the breast. I was nervous about the scars, they're not noticeable because they're so thin and short (looks like a breast crease). Glad I had this procedure done, well worth it! read more

Questionable business practices! If you make a deposit for a procedure don't expect to get it back if you change your mind! Really?! What kind of Dr's office makes you take a credit ($1000) when you decide not to go thru w/ a procedure? Like I'm going to have anything done in an office that treats a potential patient like this. Feels like my money & I are being held hostage! read more

My experience with Drs. Improta and Kolder and their entire staff has been outstanding. Dr. Kolder did a revision/repair of a 14 year-old cancer scar which had been an embarassment to me for a long time. Dr. Improta's brow lift in 2002 still gives me tremendous confidence. In short, their skills are the best anywhere...and I live in the Palm Springs area and still drive to Camarillo! read more

I went in to get my lips done with Wendy and she totally made my lips look beautiful! They are plumped and heal pretty quick!! Lindsey the receptionist is so awesome as well, if I ever needed to reschedule she would give me a fast time and date. I really recommend coming here to Wendy if you want to get your lips done!!! read more

I have had a couple things done here (Botox and juvederm) and I'm so happy with all my results! Everyone in the office is so nice and welcoming! Dr kolder and Wendy the RN are amazing and so knowledgable! I was a little nervous in getting my lips done for the first time (because I wanted natural and not to big) and after I had my consultation with them I felt 100% confident in letting her do my lips and my Botox! It came out perfect and so natural looking!! I know many people who have been here as well and have never heard one bad thing about them! I highly recommend them to everyone! They are a well known office in Camarillo ! :) read more

From start to finish this experience was wonderful and my results look so natural. read more
