Horrible bedside manner. Was going to get work done by him and told him during consultation how I'm excited to wear a bikini again and condescendingly commented on how 'you'll still have stretch marks'. Who said anything about stretch marks? Really mature when I just had a baby not even 3 months prior. Mind you this POS is 300 lbs overweight to begin with being a doctor. Very disgusting and no wonder they barely get any business. Have been not recommending him for years. read more

I gave Dr. Hicks an opportunity to make it right, but he was not interested in acting with integrity. I got my neck done a few months ago. He charged me $9,000. My neck looks terrible. This is not a $9,000 neck. I am not happy at all. Please see a different surgeon for a consult! The second group of photos are from my corrective surgery, with another surgeon, of course. Dr. Hicks does not care about PEOPLE. He only cares about MONEY. Is that a doctor you want to cut you open? Please learn from my mistake read more

You really should own up to the fact you did not do absolutely nothing to my arms but give me a scar. Do us all a favor and you post a before picture. Let's see what you have. I can post a side by side and see. You should have made an attempt to correct or refunded my money. Doctors mess up too. You Dr Hicks caused me many years of depression. Maybe I should have sued you and let the truth be known. I had several consultations. Do you want me to post those and maybe you will own your mishaps. I have a journal. You just cut my arm. You provided no lipo prior to slicing my arms!!!! Because no lipo was performed and the fat remained even though some skin was removed. The keloid was from the fat that Dr Pearlman did not remove. The weight of my arm remained from the fat that was not removed. I'm waiting on Dr Pearlman to post that before picture. I'm waiting!!!! I can't wait to heal a couple more weeks to post my amazing surgeon that corrected this nightmare and the pictures. LIFE CHANGING!!!!! read more

I previously raved about this doctor, until my results settled in and the scarring was HORRIBLE. I am so upset with how the results turned out. The scars spread, discolored, and keloided. I went in to discuss with him and he said "oh yeah Caucasians typically keloid that's normal" except he didn't tell me about this ever prior to the surgery! Now the office is shut down, and there is nothing I can do about it except have his work redone by someone else. read more

Lousy people skills people skills! Definitley doesn't seem knowledgeable to be a surgeon! This "surgeon"Doesn't seem to take the time to listen to the patient's questions and concerns! He really seemed to be in a hurry and quickly walked out of the run! I asked him a concerning question got back a smartaleck response! Would not recommend! Bad experience! There's way better surgeons out there anyways! read more

I had an amazing experience with Dr.Pearlman I had my BBL done with him , the results are amazing, he has a great team that are with you at every step of your recovery. I'll definitely be going again if I need another procedure . Thank you a lot . read more

My first encounter with Dr. Hicks was on 09/12/17 when I went in for a breast augmentation. I felt very welcomed by all the staff. Malena, Denise and everyone greeted me well and was friendly. I was helped right away and did not wait at all. Dr. Hicks answered all my questions. However, I was very unsure if I wanted to continue the procedure or not (was very afraid of going under anesthesia since I have never had surgery before). I decided to scheduled another consultation with Dr. Hicks and asked more questions to help ease my mind. Dr. Hicks was very knowledgeable and by my second consultation I knew Dr. Hicks would do amazing job. I set up my appointment and got my breast augmentation on 09/29/17. On the day of my surgery I was extremely nervous but all the staff helped calm my nerves. I was well taken care of. I am two weeks post augmentation! The pain is almost gone and my breast are still swollen but so far I am loving my results! I got 485 CC silicone implants and couldn't be any happier with my size. The only thing I regret is not getting my breast done sooner! I have had two post op check ups and I'm healing well. I can't wait to see the final results. I definitely recommend Dr. Hicks. He is very knowledgeable, the staff is great, the office is nice and clean, and pricing is very affordable with payment plans available. I definitely recommend contacting Malena as a coordinator. She definitely understood my busy work schedule and did all she could to make both my consultations work, and she ensured I got the date I wanted my procedure. She kept me in the loop the whole time and continues to check up on me. Thank you Malena for all the help you've given me, I couldn't be any happier. Thank you, Dr. Hicks and all your staff! read more

Dr. Hicks is amazing!!! He's honest, professional and caring. I went in for my consultation and he examined me. He explained that he'd do his best. I had a case of severe stretch marks and my rectus abdominis was stretched beyond non-surgical options. I am very physically active my routine included crossfit, aerial yoga, hoops and dancing. My abdomen skin was floppy and I had a pouch no matter how much I exercised It was embarrassing to lift my arms fearing my abdomen would show. I was referred to Dr. Hicks by one of my Crossfit buddies. She told me he was great and he had a payment plan I was so excited. I made an appointment immediately for a consultation. I scheduled my procedure for December 14, 2019. I met with him a week before my surgery and I was able to ask him questions and discuss any concerns that I may have. He was honest and realistic in what outcome could be expected for my condition. I really appreciated his honesty. However, the results were better than I could every imagine. I received a Christmas card from the office wishing me Merry Christmas and a speedy recovery. If that wasn't enough, Dr. Hicks called me 3 days post op to check on me and one of his staff members called me 4 days post op to check one me. I went in weekly for about 3 weeks to be checked. He cleared me to receive Lymphatic drainage massages by Malena. I highly recommend these massages. The massages helped me to stand up straighter, decreased swelling, decreased soreness and just felt good. I had stretch marks above my navel so those remain, but they're not very visible and I can rock a two piece with no shame to my game. My body is summer ready. My scar is barley visible and I am looking fierce. I highly recommend Dr. Hicks. He's in Long Beach and I didn't have to go deep in the heart of Beverly Hills to get snatched. If you want to look good CALL DR. PEARLMAN HICKS, today!!Thank you Dr. Hicks and staff!!!! read more

OK now Dr. Hicks is doing BBL's come on now this is a joke. ALL his breast implants picture and reviews were fake

I have had several surgeries by Dr. Hicks and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I had lipo and blepharoplasty by Dr. Hicks and both were life-changing for me. Not only is he extremely nice and professional, but his entire staff is very welcoming. I have referred many friends and family members to him for blepharoplasty, breast augmentation, tummy tucks and lipo and they all have been extremely happy with his work. The great thing is he has a full surgical suite in his office. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I couldn't recommend him enough. read more

Pearlman D. Hicks Jr., M.D. - Upper and lower eye surgery. Dr. Hicks is the BEST!!! - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Long Beach, California

Dr. Hicks is amazing! I needed to find me again and Dr. Hicks helped me do just that! My husband was a firefighter here in Long Beach & he suddenly died at the age of 47! Needless to say emotional eating got the very best of me. I needed to gain my self confidence & feel good about myself again. Dr. Hicks made that happen for me. After being extremely fearful, Dr. Hicks & his amazing team of nurses helped me push past my fear. I had a tummy tuck & it was one of the best things I could have ever done for "myself"! Dr. Hicks has kept a watchful eye on me with many post op appointments. The wonderful team of nurses that work in his office are personable & friendly. They call you by your first name.

I met Dr. Hicks through a dear friend and wanted to have my tummy tuck done. Just thinking about getting the surgery I was very nervous and scared but I knew I wanted to have it done. After having 3 children and gaining 50 -60 pounds during my pregnancies I wanted to get my sexy back. The after result of my tummy tuck was the best. Now I can wear a 2 piece bikini and feel confident about myself. Dr. Hicks is gifted and his work reflects many years of hard work and education in his field. Best plastic surgeon I know and will never go anywhere else! He is very caring, compassionate, will listen to what you want and will advice you the best he knows. I highly recommend Dr. Hicks and will not hesitate to return and will continue to refer my friends and family to his practice.

I am definitely suspect about these reviews. They even have a fake reviewer with no profile pic by the name of Victoria M.(they used my name) All these five star reviews have no faces or profile pics. I'm sure these five star ratings are coming from a internet site that cleans up online reputations .. I had a cosmetic procedure there a few years back, with zero results. The before and after pictures were exactly the same. The only thing I see different is scarring.. Even his nurse said she could see no difference in the before and after pics and apologized.. I would not recommend Dr Hicks. It's nothing personal, he seems to be a very nice Dr. It's just that unfortunately, I did not get any results. It haunts me to think about the money I wasted. read more

When I first found Dr. Hicks I was so nervous about having surgery. Dr. Hicks explained the procedure and totally put me at ease. 10 years later I have to have my implants re-done and he did such an amazing job. The staff Norma, Denise and Malena we so helpful, they went out of their way to help me any way they could. If I ever need another surgery I know where I'm going. Great place !! Morgan Gilley read more

Dr. Hicks, what words can describe him and his staff?Denise and Norma were so professional and discreet about my concerns. I felt that Dr. Hicks really listened to me and what I wanted. He gave me a mirror and asked me to show him my concerns. After removing my makeup he looked at me and said, you don't have any wrinkles in your face. So I frown as hard as possible and told him to see my face these wrinkles. He chuckled and said relax your face, I did he smiled and said you have NO permanent wrinkles. He said if you just want me to do something to your face I will but I recommend nothing. Thank you for your honesty Dr. Hicks. read more

I am a long time patient of Dr Hicks. He has performed a full tummy tuck, breast lift, liposuction and most recently, a bra line back lift and arm lift. I highly recommend Dr Hicks to anyone who wants a highly skilled plastic surgeon. Dr Hicks makes you feel at ease as he is a very compassionate, professional and friendly doctor. He is easy to talk with and explains in detail what he feels he can do to help you. The staff is warm and helpful making the entire process a very positive and relaxed experience! read more

Dr. Hicks was the third consultation I got about getting a hyperhydrosis (armpits) surgery done. He seemed to be the most knowledgeable and definitely put me at ease more so than any other office I had been to. The same goes for his staff. Denise was great and provided me with all the information I needed and called to check up on me after the surgery. The operating room was very clean and organized. I elected to not be put under for my surgery to save some money and it the surgery was a breeze. It has been 2 months since my surgery now and I am extremely happy with my results. I would say I have about a 95-99% reduction in sweat. I am so mad at myself for waiting so long to do this surgery. It is literally the best investment I've ever made. I will update my review at 6 months after my surgery if anything has changed. Thank you Dr. Hicks and Denise for everything! read more

I would let Dr. Hicks do surgery on me with a butcher knife, that's how good he is. He won me over the moment I met him three years ago at his Long Beach office. I stumbled upon him while looking at reviews for Plastic Surgeons that do Botox and he was clearly the best. His bed side manner and calm demeanor put me at ease and the results were better than ever. Recently, I had him remove the bags under my eyes and I look ten years younger. His prices are fair, he tells you if you don't need a procedure and his staff is amazing. read more

I love my Dr. Hicks. The staff is very professional when I got my tummy tuck and lipo they did not have me waiting they made me feel at home and they took care of me and I was very pleased with my results I am a week out of surgery and I am looking so beautiful and I'm just so happy that I came here. read more

Pearlman D. Hicks Jr., M.D. - My results in only a week beautiful I'm so happy I went to Dr. Hicks Tummy tuck and lipo. - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Long Beach, California

It's been over 4 weeks since my Lopo surgery and I am so pleased at the results. Before the decision to have the surgery I researched many doctors who were experts on the procedure and finally decided on Dr. Hicks, because of his reputation. Im so glad I did! I had lots of low abdomen fat and was told I needed a tummy tuck. Dr. Hicks recommendation was Lipo first and later see if tummy tuck would be necessary. Post 4 weeks it looks like a tummy tuck may not be necessary. The STAFF in the office are the most professional and caring people you could ask for. They have a desire to ensure you feel great at all times. Dr. Hicks takes the time you need to feel comfortable with your decision and never pressures you. The office and surgery center is very clean. I highly recommend Dr Hicks and his facility. You feel like you are in Beverly Hills, but in Long Beach. In addition, I highly recommend the massages with Melina after your surgery. The lymphatic drainage massages really helps the healing process and you feel better after each session. The 45mins to 1 hr session is worth having. It's a must!! read more

Wow! What a great experience. I wanted to have a breast lift for the longest time. I searched out cosmetic surgeons looking for advice. Everyone but Dr. Hicks wanted to do a number of additional procedures to "enhance" me. Dr. Hicks listened to my concerns, congratulated me on being realistic about what I wanted to do and gave me full disclosure on what the out come would look like and what to expect post surgery. I opted for a breast lift and a eyelid lift along with liposuction on my abdomen. The results are wonderful. My face looks refreshed. My eyes are opened up. I have a flat belly and the breast lift add a natural look to by overall appearance. I got the results I was looking for and more. The follow-up visits are as inclusive as the consultation. Rosie , who takes care of the finances was efficient and caring about my needs. The office staff in general is helpful and professional in all areas. I would recommend Dr. Hicks to anyone who asked and have already given his name to some of my colleagues. If you are looking for a competitive rate, an extremely competent cosmetic surgeon and a service team that makes you feel that it is all about you ( and of course it is), I recommend Dr. Pearlman Hicks. read more

Today I went in for my 3 week check up for lower eyelid surgery, or removal of the bags under the eyes I could not be any happier with the results! The scarring is almost invisible and the swelling is almost gone. Dr. Hicks is a very patient and kind person and will answer all your questions so don't be afraid to ask. His staff are also very kind and attentive. One of the nurses even when to move my car for me since I parked in someone's private lot (There was no other place to park) so I wouldn't get towed. He is also very reasonably priced. I highly recommend anyone to Dr. Hicks. He is the best! read more

I came here couple weeks ago for a consultation about a procedure & I'm glad I did because this office is so welcoming yet professional. All the staff makes you feel at home from greeting you with a big smile to accommodating all your needs. The girls here Denise, Rosie, & Marlena helped me a lot through out the whole process. My patient coordinator Rosie was amazing and helpful. She understood my needs and always was on top of what I wanted so she made everything really easy for me. Denise is so nice always greeting you with a smile! She knows I have a hard schedule so she always accommodates to my times which saves me a lot of trouble! Dr Hicks is amazing and so friendly! He answered all my questions and made me feel confident about the procedure. I've been to doctors where they tell you what you should get done and sell you on other things you don't need but Dr Hicks makes you see realistically what is better for you and will make you look great! I am grateful for the experience and humbleness they presented. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but I was recently looking up my favorite doctor who has done many cosmetic and non-cosmetic procedures on me. It upset me to read some of these reviews that criticized his ability or his office. The office is located by 2 major hospitals, which is more convenient for him and his patients. The previous review, "Doug", failed to see that Dr Hicks does more than just "boob jobs". He has treated and currently treats major trauma patients for more than 20 years! He's probably the most experienced plastic surgeons in all of Long Beach. Every surgery that he's done for me and my friends have turned out amazing. If a perspective patient has any questions about Dr Hicks, they should read all of his 5 star reviews. No surgeon has a perfect outcome and there are factors that are beyond the surgeons control. I am a nurse and have seen other surgeons work and I still continue to recommend patients to Dr Hicks, and will continue to...his prices are very good and Ive never heard him charge $8,500 for a boob job!! That's crazy, maybe in Beverly Hills! But not in Long Beach.... read more

Writing at this review means admitting I've had plastic surgery but whatever, this place totally earned it. When I first went for the consultation I was completely on the fence about doing such a procedure and it wouldn't have taken much to scare me off. The staff here, especially Malena and Rosie, made me feel so cared for from my first call and never made me feel like I needed any of their services. It was completely about me and what I wanted to achieve. Dr. Hicks is a master of his craft. My procedure went perfectly, my healing is going beautifully under the continued guidance of Dr Hicks and Rosie, and I could not be happier with the results. The entire staff seems so genuinely happy that I'm so happy too. I could not imagine a better experience or a better outcome. read more

I would like to give this office a TEN star!! ROSIE GOMEZ was my counselor and she's amazing, very sweet and was available to answer all of my questions and concerns to the best of her knowledge during my recovery, and for the ladies that works in the front office, keep up the good work. Everyone is so sweet.. As for my surgeon Dr Pearlman, thank you for the gift that you have been blessed with. I am 7 months post op, although I am still recovering and everything is still settling in and healing. I feel and look great..The surgery staff was great, they made me feel at ease and last but not least, my anesthesiologist was the BEST!! read more

I have had two procedures completed on two separate occasions: breast lift, removal of old dilapidated implants and augmentation. Prior to this, I had an upper and lower eye lift. Needless to say I was terrified of undergoing both procedures and of the final price tag. Let me reassure you the end result was amazing! I received the greatest value for the money spent. Not only is Hicks the most affordable plastic surgeon on this side of the border, he is also one of the best in more ways than one. Is it because of all his experience? The man's credentials are enormous! Is it because of the number of patients he helps? He is in surgery more than a combat surgeon in the middle of a raging war! Or is it because of his personable and professional bedside manner? It is all if the former....and more. The MORE is his amazing staff!. To the point....I had NO way of getting to surgery in the early AM. So, his office manager picked me up from my home and drove me in. She sacrificed quite a bit of her own time to do this. Come to find out, she goes to such great lengths all the time to assist clients. In end I had a life changing surgery. I feel 1000% better and wish I had done it years ago. Give yourself the gift this year of Pearlman Hicks. read more

Dr Pearlman provided professional and complete services that I wanted and got me the results I wanted. I had liposuction completed 3 weeks ago after many doctors recommended a tummy tuck and so far no sagging skin, no down time, and the results I wanted. I also signed up for Malena's Lymphatic massages which made the healing process go so much smoother and faster. My body will be beach ready in 6 weeks but will continue to wear the compression belt. read more

Five stars are not enough to rate my satisfaction with Dr. Hicks and his staff! Everyone is so kind and helpful, their patients are truly the priority! I was referred to Dr. Hicks by my best friend who claimed to have found the best plastic surgeon in the area. Although I was impressed with her results, I had a few doubts. I must say that I agree 100% now, Dr. Hicks changed my life; I am extremely content with my new look. Going in I knew what I wanted, but I never imagined the results would be as amazing as they are. The surgery took place six weeks ago, I went in for a breast augmentation consultation seven and a half weeks ago and knew I was ready to make the change the second I left the office. During the consultation Dr. Hicks made sure that the procedure was something I truly wanted. He asked me why I wanted it, how long I had thought about it, and made sure I cleared all doubts. He also clearly told me what I could expect and gave me his personal opinion/recommendation. He was so professional that I knew what to expect and so kind that he made me feel completely comfortable addressing anything. All of the girls in the office are extremely friendly and made both the process and recovery so easy for me. Denise, Norma, and Rosie all make themselves fully available at all times. They were so sweet and patient, always willing to clear any concerns and gave me the best advice. I left my consultation wanting one size and within the week that led up to the surgery they took the time to suggest a different size and explained the reasoning in such a manner that they convinced me, I will never be able to thank them enough. I absolutely love the size and would have regretted any other. If I ever want to make a change I would trust them all blindly. I have in fact referred family members to the and trust that they too will love them and their results. What really puts this private practice above and beyond are the people that they bring in, my anesthesiologist and nurse were great! They arrived early to introduce themselves, explain their role in the procedure, and answer questions. My friend actually had a different anesthesiologist and nurse and they too were great, therefore it is clear that Dr. hicks is selective of his team and definitely has an 'A' team behind him. Anyone who has ever wanted to make a change, but for one reason or another has not, should definitely see Dr. Hicks!!!! read more

Thank you Dr. Hicks for my new and improved youthful eyes! I had been wanting to have excess skin removed from my eyelids for awhile and promised myself that I would do it by my 50th birthday. I made an appointment for a consultation and met with Dr. Hicks. He explained the procedure to me and we discussed the realistic expectations and potential results for me. I felt comfortable with Dr. Hicks and I scheduled the surgery. Dr. Hicks has an in house surgery facility that is certified by the State of CA and my surgery was done there. There was an anesthesiologist from Long Beach Memorial that took care of me and put me under for the procedure. The morning of the surgery the staff took photos and Dr. Hicks marked the areas around my eyes. When I woke up there was ice on my eyes and I had no pain. The staff was great and I went home to rest. I had about 4 follow-up appointments with Dr. Hicks and today I was released. I am so pleased with my results. Dr. Hicks has many years of experience and he is a kind and gentle man. His work is superior! I would highly recommend him to all of my friends. Thank you again Dr. Hicks and staff. I appreciate the positive experience and will always be grateful. read more
