This amazing man has taken the best care of me, my referrals/clients to him as well as my family for the last 15 years. Stan is an artist, a doctor, a forward thinking MD with the most human touch. Stan listens and looks with care and executes with expertise. I cannot speak more highly from my personal experience. I trust him fully. There is not much more I can say. My privilege to recommend him. Sincerely, Rebecca read more

Dr. Poulous is skilled and trustworthy. He deserves his fine reputation. I chose him for my mastopexy + implants because he had done an excellent procedure on a friend of mine. After having children, there was no amount of exercise that could have fixed what Dr. Poulos transformed for me. I don't know why I waited so long. He showed me the computerized rendering of what the goal was, and the outcome is just exactly as great. He combines an artistic eye with surgical excellence to achieve the desired result. Plastic surgery usually doesn't make promises or guarantees of your dream results, but in this case, Dr. Poulos greatly exceeded my hopes and expectations. read more

I had a really really good experience here. Heather did my lips and made them look totally natural - which I was worried I'd walk out looking like an Orange County wife- not the case! My lips look full but natural and I think I'm now addicted to filler read more

After having 3 kids it was my turn to fix my body that way I wanted. I was given Dr. H's name from a friend who recently had breast augmentation done by him. My consultation went great, felt that he was speaking to me answering ALL my questions and it didn't feel like a sales pitch ever. I did however go to other consultations with other surgeons but never got the same feeling. I went back and forth weighing pros and cons with which surgeon but I was at ease whenever I thought about Dr. H. I booked my appointment and continued with the process...this was really happening I've wanted this for so long.The day finally arrived in April of this year and couldn't be more happier with the entire experience and results. I would highly recommend Dr. H and his practice. Thank you so much for giving me my confidence back, I've never felt this amazing in my life! read more

This review Is for Lyvia , Kelly and Emily at Pss. They are amazing part of the team and really help in consulting patients and understanding patient needs! Emily is an expert injector and laser nurse. Lyvia and Kelly are amazing! This office has all you could need when looking for cosmetic services ! Very prompt , professional and kind! read more

After 22 years I was finally able to have a replacement Breast Aug! Dr. Poulos, Dee Dee, and the whole staff at PSS were wonderful! My new Breasts are full, soft and so natural looking. I couldn't be more pleased! I was told I needed a lift by another Doctor, but Dr. Poulos was able to place my new implants high enough to do the job! I didn't have much of a cleavage and my old implants were hard feeling and saggy looking. Now I have gorgeous cleavage and perky breasts!!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!! I highly recommend Dr. Poulos!!! I looked high and low for a fair price, and PSS is the place I found it, $6,900.00. In Santa Cruz and near by areas the fees are at least $8,000.00 to $14,00.00 for the same job. Crazy!!! I also got Botox and fillers and look great! I don't have to hide my forehead, my crows feet are less and a scar on my lip is gone! I sure wish PSS and Dr. Poulos would open an office/mini surgie center in Santa Cruz, CA! Thank you for giving me a fresh natural healthy look! It was worth the drive! Connie read more

Went to PSS for Botox. It was my first time having the procedure done and I can't thank enough all the friendly staff especially Kelly. From the moment I was greeted until I was done, everyone checked in on me and explained everything. It was quickly done ans very minimal no pain at all. They explained when I would see the results and followed up with me shortly after to see how I was doing. They have an amazing staff that is well educated and have an abundance of services for every need. Looking forward to my next procedure. read more

Worst experience. I paid $9500 for the obalon balloons and they didnt work at all. I was still hungry. The doctors even gave me lots of appetite suppresents even though they swear the balloons worked! Once the balloons were taken out i was never contacted again even though i was promised 6 extra months of help. Dont buy the balloons. Total waste of my life savings!! read more

So disappointed with this practice because of my last filler treatment! I've been a patient since 2017, I went in this past summer for more lip filler and was concerned because my previous filler had migrated into the space between my upper lip and nose. Yes, I wanted filler in my lips as it had been over a year since my last lip filler treatment and I was advised to wait but not made to wait. The nurse injector went ahead and injected my lips with a filler that was previously used (migrated) rather than use a different filler made specifically for the lips she used the same type of filler that had previously migrated. The nurse injector suggested I return in a few weeks to have the migrated filler dissolved and she told me there was a possibility that it would dissolve the filler that was just injected into my lips. I went back a few weeks to have the migrated filler dissolved and it ended up dissolving the filler that was injected into my lips. I was so disappointed, I called the office and spoke with the manager along with the nurse injector whom both dismissed my concerns. I'm very disappointed with their lack of ethics and regard for patient safety and well-being. read more

This has been a long awaited review... should of done this along time ago! From the start of making an appointment through my surgery and post op care they are ALL truly top notch. I saw Dr Poulos for my surgery and he is the most sweetest and genuine doc you will meet. Also the front staff/financial crew was just as fabulous. If I ever need any work done I will be going back to see them! Thank you Doctor and all the ladies there, I def love my results!!! read more

Your staff contacted me via phone after I left this review. It shouldn't take a review for them to pick up the phone and call. My thing is that they said they would call me NUMEROUS times and that didn't happen. I personally had to call your office a few times. Every time someone promised to call me with the exception of talking to lyvia that Tuesday after work and she said she would call me the next day to get me more information, which I ended up calling myself. There was no follow through. Even if an update was not available due to doctors being in surgery, communication is everything. They should of taken initiative to call and let me know, instead of me wondering if your staff is going to do what they say. After that I left it alone. & still they didn't CALL they like said they would. Your word is all we have. So if you say your going to call a potential client, do it. If you send an email at least call them and say hi Ijust sent you an email and sorry for the delay for such and such reasons please let me know if you have any questions. That's the right thing to do especially if you have been dropping the ball. Because of the unprofessional communication I can't trust that I will get the care I need. I just hope you can take this as a way to improve and learn for future people. Thank you read more

**** DO NOT DO HCG HERE!*** This review is for Rachelle Goering, Nurse Practitioner for HCG Dr. Paulos recommended me to their new HCG program while he was giving me Botox. I was very excited to begin this program and had high hopes. I met with Rachelle for my first consultation and had my most recent/extensive lab work sent to her. I had told her I had a hard time losing weight and she said that she knows exactly why I am having this problem after looking at my labs. With such confidence, she tells me I have a disease that I will have to live with forever which is called HASHIMOTO's! Wow, that was a lot to take in, especially after working with the leading Endocrinologists and Dr.s' in Marin and San Francisco. I was so desperate for an answer, I totally believed her and listened to her telling me I could never eat gluten again. That's quite a lot to take in, and I was very depressed for DAYS until I heard back from my Endocrinologist. The Endocrinologist who is very well known in Marin said I absolutely 10000% do not have Hashimoto's, and that it is a ridiculous claim. My other Endocrinologist confirmed the same, and said that is one of the first things they check. At that point, I should have walked away! However, desperate to lose weight and to try HCG, I stuck with it. The entire time I felt like I was starving while trying to adhere to the 500 calorie per day diet however I stuck to it perfectly. I was told I could lose up to 30 lbs per month and I had only lost 17 lbs which seemed slow - especially because I stuck on the diet for 40 days. I didn't feel consulted through the entire program. I would ask questions and it was clear Rachelle just did not know. She also used scales that you could buy at Bed Bath and Beyond. You would think that if they are charging over $1K for a diet plan, that they'd have a professional scale. Also, she would actually lead me thru the back way to her office past the operating room where I could see patients on the table! I would never get a procedure done here knowing people can walk thru and see! The biggest concern was that the whole plan was lacking a personal/customizable approach. The whole time I had questions she would just tell me to read what was on the paperwork she gave me. She also sent me for blood work, which I had already had transferred to her, and it came to a total of $350.00 (that insurance does not cover). So with the $1K plan, and vitamins/supplements, including the $350.00, I can tell you this was a MAJOR WASTE of money! Two weeks later I ended up going to an actual Dr. in Mill Valley who told me that the type of supplements Rachelle was giving me was not potent enough to make a difference. He said that I was basically on a starvation diet, which I know is true because now I have done both plans. I have lost 35 lbs with the new Dr. and he and his team are extremely professional and they work with me and my body type instead of referring to what the book/paperwork says. Do not waste your money here for HCG!!! This was the dumbest $1500.00 I have ever spent. Rachelle is extremely inexperienced and should not be diagnosing people with false life long diseases. read more

I love Bethany. Not only is she an amazing person, but she's also taught me a healthy way to lose weight. I'm down 22 pounds. I wanted to get rid of this weight so I can plan the surgery I've been looking forward to. I'll be going in feeling better and the outcome will be so much more awesome. Thank you so much! read more

PSS is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and makes you feel at ease. Bethany weight loss plan is the only thing that has ever worked for me and stuck. She not only understands each individuals needs, she teaches you how to do it without her. Worth every penny. Highly recommend! read more

13 years ago poulos botched the surgery on my face leaving me crooked and paralyzed. I had been drawn into his previous practice through the Cosmetic Surgery Information Center which the state of California eventually shut down. I had been the patient of John Manis for many years and as Dr Manis aged he began to develop short term memory deficit which was making me a little nervous. John Manis is the owner of Plastic Surgery Specialists and was once a gifted surgeon with integrity who stood by his excellent work. Dr Hvistendahl was the protégé of John Manis. I spent 4 hours in the recovery room in Marin General after poulos cut my mouth muscles, took out the corners of my eyes, pushed down my eyebrows, separated the SMAS and cut other muscles. Having had very successful and trouble free surgeries with Dr Manis I ran from poulos to John Manis looking like I had been in a car wreck. Dr Manis was initially horrified by my crooked and paralyzed face and did not know poulos at that time. He went to investigate poulos and came back to me stating that poulos had "done a real good job on a doctors wife" and so he would not be able to do anything about what poulos had done to me. At that point I decided to seek out another surgeon to help me if I could look normal again. After that poulos managed to attach himself to John Manis and they went into business together. One can only imagine the politics involved. The surgeon who did corrective surgery for me told me that poulos has singled out patients and maimed them for literally years and that other surgeons do not come forward with this info out of fear that poulos will sue them. I do not know Yngvar Hvistendahl but my guess is that he is probably a really fine surgeon who developed under the supervision of John Manis. I myself would stay away from here due to the association with poulos. Stanley poulos is someone highly questionable with a history of issues on record with the state medical board. He has many reviews stating disfiguring and maiming and many more removed reviews. He does "great jobs on doctors wives" and prominent people in order to create a cover for his atrocities which are not of mal practice or incompetence but are rather indicative of a psychopath with a taste for hurting. Keep in mind the photograph of John Wayne Gacey standing next to Nancy Regan. This type of personality is adept at hiding what is inside them and can even fool the President's wife. Thanks to the internet patients with a common experience are now able to put them online and it eventually becomes just a little too coincidental that many patients all say the same thing. --- isn't it just a little odd that yelp only factors positive reviews into the overall rating of poulos?? Other surgeons resist getting involved in bad work and out of fear of lawsuits they in fact write lies or omit the truth in the charts of patients hurt by poulos who come to them for help. This is the reason patients have to go to the east coast for corrective surgery...........the close proximity and social connections relative to poulos are not to the benefit of a patient needing corrective surgery. This is unfortunately the way it is. More than any other kind of physicians plastic surgeons have Carte Blanche to write anything in your chart. How many patients ever do secure a copy of their chart and discover the lies written about them? Even my dentist speaks to all the lies in plastic surgery. You must be very careful. If you have never encountered a problem with the outcome of a surgery then you do not come to know this. There is lots more to my story about lies in my chart and being terrorized by poulos. You may or may not be someone who sets him off. Dont take the chance and Do your homework and choose someone with a cleaner slate. .... read more

I spent 25 years in the health care industry in San Francisco so saying I did my homework is an understatement. I am very familiar with many many surgeons in San Francisco and Marin and their reputation. Dr. Poulos came highly recommended to me. Naturally I did my own due diligence. Dr. Poulos has quite an impressive background and has many fellowships and credits to his name. Then I went by word of mouth and believe me, I am not afraid to ask! Almost everyone, patients and doctors I talked to mentioned/recommended Dr. Poulos. Dr. Poulos has tremendous skill, has put in years of hard work in the St. Francis burn unit for children, Shriners, is a accomplished hand surgeon as well as a well regarded, board certified plastic surgeon in the SF area. At my first appointment I was so impressed. His staff was A+ as was his office, but I still had to meet the DR. I had my list of questions. Dr. Poulos came in looked me directly in the eye and introduced himself. I grilled him with all my questions and he patiently answered everyone until I understood. It was then I knew he was the best. My surgery was a complete success and I love the way my body looks..so does my husband! When he came to get me, Dr. Poulos took the time to let my husband know how I was and encouraged him to call anytime...my husband thought Dr. Poulos was extremely professional. It is hard to be believe anyone would call him such inappropraite names..yuck! Try putting your awful and childlike complaints into perspective..Dr. Poulos has done thousands upon thousands of cosmetic procedures. I have never heard any complaints from all the people I have sent to Dr. Poulos. Then I just happened to read those awful reviews from people who sound like the same person? I had to make a comment cause.....I smell a rat! I endorse Dr. Poulos and I am married to a doctor!! He endorses Dr. Poulos as well!! read more

Went to Dr. Hvistendahl for botox, and full stars for that as well!!!! (Please make sure and read my previous breast augmentation review!) He took his time explaining the whole process to me, and what he was doing. I got even better results than the last place I went for botox, and next time I get botox I will be coming back here! Arched my eyebrows perfectly, and gave me a follow-up appointment to check the overall results, where he added a tiny bit more for free. They charge per CC, which means you're not getting watered down stuff, or skimped on the amount. Great experience, and like I said in my other review, I highly recommend coming here! read more

I highly recommend Plastic Surgery Specialists for any plastic surgery needs, from a facials to a full body lift, which is what I got done. I started my journey 2 years ago with my gastric sleeve, and lost almost 200 lbs, after completing my weight loss goal I started searching for the right plastic surgeon, and the moment stepped foot into their practice I was convinced that I had found the one, just from how I was greeted by the staff. And when I met Dr. P and went over the work that needed to be done, I was super excited to get it done. Once I got the work done, I was really happy with the after care form the staff, they took amazing care of me. I am super grateful from all the love I got and to have help me in the final step of finding true happiness. Thank you again Dr. P, and the whole staff, specially Kelly and Lyvia. I will definitely be recommending and going back for any for in the future. read more

I had a consultation with Dr. Poulos and while he was very professional, he wanted to do a cosmetic tummy tuck on me. I actually had pretty low body fat at the time, around 18%, and it should have been obvious to him that I had diastasis recti and needed a muscle repair surgery, not a cosmetic one. I also had a very large umbilical hernia which he missed. I got two other opinions and both doctors confirmed the diastasis and umbilical hernia which I had another cosmetic surgeon fix with a muscle repair tummy tuck. The price for Dr. Poulos' cosmetic skin lift option, and having the actual muscle repair that I needed from another doctor, were pretty close. Shop carefully. read more

i seen Dr. Yngvar A. Hvistendahl in 2010 for a breast augmentation and i have to say it was the best investment i ever made. his staff were all nice, smart and excited with me during the whole process! i had a quick recovery and was vacuuming my house by the third day post op. i cant compliment him or his staff enough!! i tell everyone who ask me to go check them out. it has changed my whole life!!! thank you guys! =) read more

This review is for Rachelle Goering, MA, NP My experience with Rachelle was very disappointing. I have PCOS and was seeking assistance to balance my hormones with natural herbs. She immediately put me on several supplements which I began taking immediately. After doing some research on my own, however, I discovered that one of the supplments had the potential to be dangerous. I wasn't too concerned because Rachelle had assured me in the appointment that everything she gave me was perfectly safe. But I did email her immediately asking for her reassurance. She took exactly 14 days to answer my email only to tell me that the supplement might be unsafe for my situation. I was shocked and asked her to call me immediately to discuss. She never called me. One week later, I asked for my money back and both she, and the office adminstrator at Plastic Surgery Specialists, said no. The service did absolutely nothing to help me (in fact, it may have caused harm!) and I paid $300 for it. Don't go there. read more

I have a very bad experience with the results of my surgery. Even after a few years, I can see the damage done. I would not touch this place read more

Dr. H and his whole staff is outstanding. I am almost at a loss for words with how happy I am that I chose him as my surgeon. I got a breaat augmentation at a young age and wasn't educated. I came to Dr. H 5 years after for a consultation. I had no expectations. But As soon as he walked into the room, I knew that I was going to schedule for surgery. He listened, educated and created a plan. I am a hairdresser in Marin and I have seen many of his clientele, not only is he amazingly talented...he is honest and caring. I also see Dr. H for regular Botox. I have only seen him, and it will stay that way forever. No one can even tell that I have it!! Everyone just says I look bright and super refreshed. He always makes sure to tell me if I am overdoing it too, and will actually refuse to inject more until it is necessary. If I could give 50 stars, I would. read more

I just had a two procedures done by Dr. Poulos in June and I am Over The Moon Happy with the results. I have never written a review on Yelp but I really wanted to share what a great experience I had. From the minute I walked in the door there were smiling faces and it made me feel right at home ( I was a little scared to have plastic surgery done). The procedures went exceptionally well and I Smitten with the results. Dr. Poulos was so professional, honest and knowledgeable from the get go...I knew I was in good hands. I have gotten so many compliments from family and friends too! My hairdresser in town saw me getting my hair blown in his solon, he told me to keep my hair the length it is because he said it elongates my neck and accents my jaw bones. Well I thought to myself Ha Ha.. its not your hair cutting, it was the Plastic Surgery that Dr. Poulos had done on me. Well, if you ever plan to have any procedures on any part of your body performed I Highly Recommend Dr. Stan Poulos. By the way you will love his staff . Thank you Dr. Poulos. Maureen Herr read more

Rachelle Goering, Nurse Practioner I cannot say enough about the care and treatment I received from Rachelle. I have struggled with weight loss my entire life, and also began having some severe joint and lower back pain the past few years. Before seeing Rachelle, I had seen numerous doctors who could find nothing wrong and just wanted to prescribe pain killers and other pharmaceuticals. After consulting with Rachelle who suggested several very different tests including a food sensitivities test, she recommended a gluten free diet along with some supplements to deal with inflammation. She also performed a complete hormone level evaluation and I am now taking bio-identical hormones. I cannot begin to tell you how much better I feel. I have lost 21 pounds in a little over two months, my pain is virtually gone, my joints feel better and I am sleeping soundly for the first time in 10 years. I thought that giving up gluten would be difficult, but it really wasn't bad. Plus, Rachelle was there with me every step of the way and suggested where to find the best tasting gluten free foods. She is such a caring individual.....she knew exactly how I was feeling and was available to talk to whenever I needed it. She is truly a gifted healer. I feel like she looked at my whole body rather than focusing on one issue only and that has made a huge difference in my life! Thank you Rachelle! read more

Extremely professional and the most effective botox treatment with minimal sticks ever experienced. a long time botox user, since the 90's, Dr. H. is the BEST! Plus, amazing results, with an arch and a flair. read more

PSS has the best nutrition program out there. Based on years of her own experience--Bethany's been in the food and fitness industries her whole --she teaches you all she knows. As the Director of Weight Loss and Wellness, Bethany does not focus on weight loss; instead, she shows you how to change your body composition, how to reduce body fat. Every visit is so motivating! If you need to lose more than 25 or 30 lbs., PSS also offers the gastric balloon, which includes the nutrition program in the price. Bethany's weight loss approach makes PSS different from any other weight loss program out there. This will be the last diet plan youI'll ever need! The program is that elite, and Bethany is that motivating. What are you waiting for? read more

Dr. Mohebali and his staff were really easy to work with. They were all very reassuring and you can FEEL how much they actually CARE about their patients! I was recommended to this office by a close friend. I just had my procedure done this morning and I'm feeling pretty good (considering I had my 1st general anesthesia). Everyone was professional, kind and warm hearted. It felt like home from my consultation on! read more

This review is for Rachelle Goering, MA, NP I went to see Rachelle to continue my Bio-Identical Hormone Treatment ( my former NP/GYN retired) and number of health issues: inability to lose 5 to 7 pounds that had suddenly appeared around my waist line, poor digestion, food sensitivities & cravings, bloating, painful joints, tiredness-low energy, mood swings, migraines, menopausal symptoms, feeling completely out of balance. With great expertise, Rachelle gathered information through blood tests & extensive questions to uncover what the underlying causes for the physical symptoms that I was experiencing. Carefully, she suggested protocol that I have followed to a tee & it has most definitely been a 180* shift from where I was three months ago. My body is responding by being more balanced, relaxed, more energy, much less pain in the joints & the waist is shrinking. She also suggested a supplement to support the bio identical hormones, insuring that they are not harming my body- no other Dr. has given that support. Rachelle has a wholistic approach - I really appreciate that. She has extensive knowledge, is very caring and has a sincere intention to assist others to find optimum health & wellbeing. I will definitely recommend her! read more

My experience here was nothing more than perfect! Lyvia was amazing and super helpful, they definitely know what they are doing and give honest recommendations. I recommend going here if you want the best results. read more

I cant say enough but I am very happy with the results,, I get complimented all the time..... Glad I found them.... Christina Vargas read more

I cannot express the extent of my gratitude to Dr Mohebali. He first treated me in the emergency room the day before Thanksgiving in 2011. I had fallen and had significant lacerations on my face. A year later and no one can tell I was injured. Not only is he exceptionally skilled (and a perfectionist -- a good attribute for a plastic surgeon) but he is compassionate. He made me feel calm and comfortable. I saw him again this October for a procedure that I had wanted for over 20 years but was always afraid to pursue because of the invasiveness of surgery. Because of my previous experience with him, I was very comfortable scheduling a consultation and subsequent surgery. My experience with Dr Mohebali and his staff - from the consultation to surgery and through recovery - could not have been better. He is professional, compassionate and, most importantly, a very skilled plastic surgeon. I highly recommend Dr Mohebali and Plastic Surgery Specialists in Greenbrae. I am so grateful that he was on call that night in 2011. I am fortunate to have been his patient -- twice! read more

I had an otoplasty and breast augmentation . I was very satisfied with my experience and had every thing I needed and more. No surprises along the way and the whole staff is so nice and helpful.. Would highly recommend any procedure with dr polouse. read more

I met with Dr. Hvistendahl for a rhinoplasty consultation a few months ago after a lifetime of disdain for my nose and it's bulbous tip. Dr H took his time with me, created digital images to help me envision the outcome of surgery, and never once pressured me to move forward. It was actually quite the opposite, as he helped me weigh the pros and cons of the procedure. I decided to hold off on surgery initially, but once I decided I was ready to take the leap, Lyvia and the other office staff were able to accommodate me very quickly to accommodate a very tight window of availability on my end. Not only did Dr. Hvistendahl do a stellar job on my nose and deliver exactly what I asked for, but the best part of my result was that I still look like myself, (but better!) which was very important to me. Dr. H proved he is skilled at creating nuance and subtle changes to enhance your existing beauty with a natural look. I owe a great deal of thanks to Dr. Hvistendahl as well as the nurses who took excellent care of me before, during and after surgery! read more

**************************YES YES YES, 10 STARS!************************ I have been a patient of Dr. Stan Poulous and his nurse practitioner, Rachelle Goering, MA, PM since April of 2012. I was recommended to them by my rheumatoid arthritis doctor. I have battled arthritis over 25 years and weight control all of my life. My weekly infusions, were no longer effective, and a more severe treatment was anticipated. Therefore, I spoke with Dr. Poulous about his Wellness Center and he strongly recommended I begin treatment with Rachelle Goehring. He said, often the inside needs repairing before the outside! Since this is a Plastic Surgery Specialists, and they are well known for helping people be beautiful and feeling better, I turned myself over to the Wellness Center and Nurse Goering. In six months of, vitamin supplements, morning healthy shakes, HCG, I have successfully lost weight (60 pounds!). Rachelle, through blood analysis determined my intolerance to certain food groups, mainly glutens and dairy, and through her support, and the support of Dr. Stan Poulous' staff, I have not only lost weight, my arthritis infusions are successfully working, and I am back to my full time golf and feeling GREAT. I JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE PLASTIC SURGERY SPECIALISTS WELLNESS PROGRAM and Nurse Goering. She is very supportive, without any judging. She works within my needs and concerns. I have to say that this has been a wonderful journey with Rachelle and the Plastic Surgery Specialists Group. Dr. Poulous was right, "they cure you from the inside out". Thank you Dr. Poulous, Rachelle and all of the Staff at the Plastic Surgery Specialists Office in Greenbrae. You have changed my life. PS My husband is happy and he is now a patient of Rachelles!

Stan Poulos came highly recommended by many of my friends, so when i decided to have some "work done", I put him on my short-list. Believe me, i did my due-diligence and visited many many offices in So Cal... where i live. But, he came out on top... miles, and miles ahead of the other Dr.'s. I had so much confidence in him that i came up to the bay area and had my surgery... hundreds of miles away from home. Knowing that, they went out their way to accommodate me. I am so happy with the entire experience. read more

Dr. Poulos is an extremely experienced plastic surgeon who works with extreme confidence. Immediately after meeting him and receiving Botox his confident and adept touch is exactly what you want from a plastic surgeon. He never hesitates as he is always 100% sure of his decisions. I am going for a more invasive surgery very shortly and I am completely confident in his skill and the care that his staff will provide. read more

If I could give them 10 stars I would!!!!! This is a VERY heartfelt and emotional review for me to write however I feel as tho it would not be fair to keep the services of this FANTASTIC business from the rest of the public.... I had gone to a few different places before I found these angels through a friend of mine who gave them a high recommendation and boy am I glad that I gave them a chance!!!. I had received some injections which were told to me that they were one thing and turned out to be FAR from what I thought I would be receiving and in turn (and not to get to into it ) but it turned out to be a horror story which I was the STAR in. I had allergic reactions to whatever they had given me and I was living with this awful mess (on my FACE) for years. Thank god I found Emily and the girls over at PSS! Not only were they soooooo very sweet but they were fantastic in every single thing that they did from Botox to peels to skin resurfacing. You name it Emily can do it! I had wonderful service from Emily which basically saved my face (and my psyche for that matter) She knows EXACTLY what she's doing and she does it with a professionalism and kindness that I have yet to experience very from anyone ( in ANY other business for that matter) She reversed the problems for me while helping to correct other ordinary matters that simply take place as we age. I can not recommend her highly enough and I think this whole staff of people over at PSS is just VERY special. They know what they are doing and they are very knowledgeable about any questions or concerns on any topic. The doctors are highly revered and it will be the place that I grow old with....I just LOVE this place. Thank goodness I found Emily!!! read more

Like many men and women in 2020, the torment of endless and unflattering Zoom calls motivated me to schedule a virtual consultation with Dr. Hvistendahl in July regarding surgery for my aging and drooping lower face and neck. After that first phone call, I scheduled surgery for November. Like many pursuits in life, cosmetic surgery is a process not an event. Dr. Hvistendahl corrected the issues with my lower face and neck, but it was up to me to follow his instructions to the letter both before and after surgery to achieve an optimal outcome. Plastic Surgery Specialists now includes two complimentary lymphatic drainage massages with the procedure, and after one session with the experienced and skilled Eva Claiborne, I didn't hesitate to buy the recommended series of four additional massages.
