Dr Kearny is the BEST plastic surgeon in San Diego. I had my breast augmentation back in May of 2013. No complaints at all. I choose sailne implants and my breasts look so natural people have a hard time telling the difference. I couldn't have picked a better Dr. Go to Dr. Kearny you will NOT retreat it! read more

Robert Kearney, MD, FACS - This is a year later after my surgery. Thank Dr. Kearny!! - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - San Diego, California

I feel I do not have the right words to express my appreciation for Dr Kearny ! He is absolutely amazing . I came to him with a horrible bacterial infection and a deformed rt breast from a previous surgeon. When I came to see Dr. Kearny I had been really sick for 2 months and on very strong antibiotics. Dr Kearny fit me In to his schedule and operated on me. I couldn't believe how amazing the results were . He made me look better then I had in 2 years and my infection was completely healed after a week of my recovery. Dr Kearny is a great communicator, very easy to get ahold of and talk too and not to mention his front office and entire staff is so welcoming and kind . I owe Dr Kearny for my health . I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr Kearny and his entire office . I would recommend my own family. You are in great hands with Dr Kearny and i highly recommend him and his office ! read more

This guy is truly skilled at what he does. I would refer him to anyone that asked. You just cant go wrong with him. I could not be happier with my choice and my decision in general. I met with two doctors only. I was going to meet 3 but after meeting Dr Kearney who was #2, I knew he was my guy. On my first consult he spent ALOT of time explaining everything and the entire process was an education. The office staff and Dr Kearney were extremely professional. The surgery itself was MUCH easier and the recovery MUCH easier than I anticipated. The nurses and anthologist and all staff were awesome! read more

If your looking to get your breast augmentation, this is the BEST doctor to go with. I'm literally one week post op and my result are everything I wanted and more and theyre not even in full effect yet. The first two days are the worst for recovery after a week I feel really good and even went to the gym. Your in good hands at this office (: 10/10 recommend read more

I have wanted breast implants for quite some time now and finally got around to going to consultations starting at the beginning of this year. I went to about 7 different doctors to get a consult for breast implant and I'm so happy I went to Dr. Kearney. He is one of the few surgeons who specializes in the armpit incision (so no scar on my breast - YAY!) within the San Diego area. My scars are so small!!! My roommate actually recommended him to me, and her results are just as phenomenal as mine! I am only a little over a month post-op but I am IN LOVE with the work Dr. Kearney did. I am recommending all my friends who want implants to him from here on out! Not only is he very skilled, but he is also very honest too! He makes recommendations based on his experience, but still prioritizes the patient's wants and needs. I was very anxious about picking sizes and he helped me choose the best size for me (and bared with my indecisiveness)! Come surgery day, I was very nervous, especially once I got into the OR. I can't even describe how good of a job Dr. Kearney did at putting me at ease and calming me down. Not to mention how great his staff is - they are all so nice and considerate. All in all, my experience was 10/10. If you are considering getting any work done with him, I say do it!! His positive reviews don't lie :) read more

I don't always post reviews. Usually only if I'm extremely happy or extremely pissed off lol (probably like the rest of you). This one totally falls into the first category. My wife has used Dr Kearney in the past (that's for her to talk about ), but she asked me if I'd consider trying a new hair transplant procedure that he was offering. I've met with and talked to Dr K in the past when I've gone to her appointments, and I'm pretty comfortable with him. He's very professional and has a great sense of humor so I decided to give it a go. His NP, Shannon, is amazing as well. I believe she did the majority of the procedure. I believe it's called NeoGraft. My appointment was Dec 2016. I wanted to wait a good year to see how it all worked out. The 1st few months I was pretty skeptical. I didn't see immediate results and I'm an Instant Gratification kind of guy. My wife urged me to be patient and follow the steps, so I have. Within 6 months my co-workers were asking me what I'd changed, etc. Did I lose weight, buy new clothes, change my hair... At first I didn't know what they were talking about and had completely forgotten about the procedure. Then I realized what was going on. My hair that they moved from the back of my head to the front had totally taken hold and was doing great. I know that sounds crazy. How would I not notice. With work and life, sometimes you're just too busy. I'm now over a year since the hair transplant and I'm constantly talking to everyone about it. I'm simply amazed at the difference. Even the lady that used to buzz my head can't believe that I've had a hair transplant. My advice to you: Go see Dr Kearney and his awesome staff, especially Shannon!! It will change your life. read more

See all

This review is so long overdue! It's been almost 2 years since I got my breast augmentation and wow I'm loving life! This was the best decision I've ever made!! Don't listen to people when they say they won't make you happy lol because they will haha Thank you Dr Kearney, hope to visit you soon! read more

I've been meaning to write a review for quite a while now, so here it is! Long story short, I always knew I would get a breast augmentation after graduating college. I have a curvy, athletic body, however, my breasts never matched the rest of my figure, as they were pretty much nonexistent. I had my first consolation with Dr. Kearney in 2017, and I knew right away that he would be my doctor (I had gone to 4 other consultations before him!). The consolation was very numbers focused (in regards to measurements and size), straight forward, and no-bullshit. He was honest about which sizes looked best, which type of implant would suit my body better, and overall made me feel confident in his abilities as a surgeon due to his honesty and education. His staff is AMAZING and Dr Kearney himself is extremely honest, blunt, and straight forward, which was exactly what I needed. He has this unique sense of humor that makes you feel at ease and provides that bedside manner that all patients are looking for. I scheduled my surgery shortly after my consultation. Dr Kearney was on time, polite, and reassuring with me come surgery day, making me feel comfortable and confident in my decision with him. I had decided to get 325cc implants, which I was hesitant about as I had a gut feeling that I wanted to go bigger. Fast forward to six months after my surgery (everything went well and I was healing great), I decided that I did in fact was to be larger, so I called Dr Kearney's office and scheduled another consultation for second surgery. Dr. Kearney was great and very understanding with my decision. We scheduled another surgery soon after, and agreed on 450cc's. This surgery went amazing again, and I was SO happy with the final result. He did a phenomenal job both times and was so easy to love during the process. I appreciate his honesty, confidence, and ability to make his patients feel comfortable in their decision. My advice, choose Dr. Kearney for your breast augmentation! AND, go a bit bigger than you think. You won't regret. read more

Just wanted to say thank you to Dr.Kearney and his staff. I especially liked his nurse who assisted before and after. She was very kind and informative. I'm very happy with results of my second augmentation. First surgery was also with him about 12 years ago, i needed remove and replace. End result was perfect and the entire process was great, highly recommend. Thank you Dr. Kearney! read more

I thought Robert was a good guy till he tried to charge me another 600 today when it was a revision surgery. Robert told me if I was not pleased with the results I could come back and he would fix it. Well, that was untrue! He was super rude to me, told me nothing was wrong with it when it's not on his body it's on mine. I have to look at this ever day. I feel like he was very unprofessional with the anger he had when he opened the door with anger and it slammed into the wall. I almost cried because I knew I should of put something in writing and instead I trusted his word. I am a student struggling during all of this awfulness that is happening in the world and this is not a super invasive surgery. It's just fixing my stretched ears. I'm sure that doesn't cost him much but to see how he treated me and the things he said was very unprofessional and rude. I would look into another plastic surgeon if I was you... now, I have to find someone who will fix this and not try and lie or take my money. You really want to see people helping people right now and he made me feel so awful I can't put it into words! read more

Dr. K and his staff are the obvious choice! Back in April I decided to have a breast lift and augmentation to put back what disappeared after breastfeeding my daughter. I did my due diligence by researching online the local doctors, reading reviews, and going on consultations. After meeting with Dr. K I knew without a doubt that he was the right choice. So much so, that same day I booked my appointment for surgery on June 5th. I am now a little over a week and a half post-op and I could not be more pleased and still feel 100% confident I made the right decision! Here's a little list of why they are so fantastic (some of which has already been stated in previous reviews by other happy patients but worth echoing!): 1. During my consultations Dr. K was the only doc to spend the entire hour with me. All of the other docs had their nurses handle the meeting and only popped in for a brief 10 minutes or so to examine me and then leave. The nurses are an integral part of the surgery and care but it didn't make sense to me that the other doctors handed off the explanation phase onto their nurses. Dr. K definitely outshone the others I visited. 2. Dr. K approaches his services from a much more technical and clinical standpoint. He was less concerned with bra size (which the other docs emphasized) and more concerned with my frame, what would look good, and the various different options. He set my expectations on what would be realistic and really understood exactly what I was aiming for - I had large breasts to begin with prior to breastfeeding and they ended up incredibly deflated. I wanted them to be put back to where they used to be (up! haha), fuller, noticeably done if in a tank, t-shirt, or bikini but not so "fake" that I look like a 21 year old at a Las Vegas pool party (I'm a 31 year old wife and mom who lives in the San Diego suburbs who still wants to look attractive and feel sexy in my own right!), and frankly not noticeable to my colleagues and clients other than maybe I got a really great new bra. 3. His staff members are all incredibly nice and welcoming! In my few appointments (consultation, pre-op, post-op, and follow up) I have yet to wait longer than a couple of minutes, and they have been attentive and friendly when either in person or on the phone. This is true of his entire staff! This may sound weird too but it definitely caught my attention - not one of them looks like a stereotypical cosmetic surgeon office employee (stretched faces, overly plump lips, and frozen foreheads). All beautiful women who if they have had work done have had GOOD work done. 4. Dr. K makes you feel comfortable asking any question and is available to help any time! That is what I expect from a medical professional. He called the night before and the evening of my surgery as did his anesthesiologist. 5. Another odd thought but worth mentioning - he has a very nice office but it felt like a doctor office which was exactly what I wanted. I'm not going to get my hair done, I'm having surgery. The other offices I visited felt like overly done salons. It also made me more comfortable knowing that Dr. K does his surgeries at Scripps Hospital, not in a surgical suite in his office. Being at the hospital again made me feel confident that god forbid anything bad did happen I was where I needed to be. Again I can't say enough how happy I have been with my decision and my results! Do yourself a favor and call for a consultation. It's obvious once meeting with him and his staff why they have been voted top Cosmetic Surgeon in San Diego for a few years running. A big thank you to Dr. K and his staff! read more

First of all, I must say that Dylan's review was quite disturbing! I feel sorry for the kid who has him as a father and I applaud Dr. Kearney for asking the child's opinion. Hopefully, the boy doesn't grow up to think he's not worthy just because of his looks. If his ear bothers him when he's older, I'm sure he can decide for himself to get it fixed. Dr. Kearney was wonderful and so were his staff. They were all so friendly. He answered all of our detailed questions (and my friend had done her research)! I would hesitate to ever go to another plastic surgeon. read more

I had work done and I am EXTREMELY happy that I went with Dr. Kearney. There are a lot of options in San Diego... I feel like I made an excellent choice going with him. I had a lift and augmentation after pregnancy and breast feeding. I researched everything I could before making a consultation. I wanted to go into the office with some background knowledge. What I learned before my consultation is there are a lot of opinions and options regarding breast lifts and augmentation. Dr. Kearney did an excellent job explaining his opinions and supporting them with his knowledge and experience as a doctor. I felt very confident with what he had to say. He made it easy to understand and literally gave me a hands-on education. When I met with Dr. Kearney he spent plenty of time explaining the procedures, looking at implants, what to expect, measuring my body, and listening to my goals. He was honest about what he could do, which I appreciate. He gave me realistic expectations but I feel like he exceeded them. I am so very pleased with the outcome. I honestly didn't think they were going to look this good. It's like Christmas morning every morning when I look in the mirror. The office staff/nurses/anesthesiologist and of course Dr. Kearney have all been so kind and friendly. My husband especially liked Dr. Kearney which was an added bonus. The entire process has been easy and pretty fun considering it is kinda scary stuff. I would highly recommend Dr. Kearney. read more

First of all I would like to start off by saying I have never left a Doctors office so in awe by the consultation. Dr Kearney spent over a hour consulting with me about the procedures I wanted done. He was so easy to talk to and gave me his honest opinions. He actually recommended me to see another doctor because he specialized in what I wanted done! Other plastic surgeons would have just agreed to do the surgery to get my money. It was so refreshing to have a doctor truly care about the end result and to make sure the patient is happy. So at the end of the day Dr Kearney did not operate on me but I highly recommend consulting with him if you ever want any work done. read more

Dr. Kearny is the best in all the above categories. Double board certified surgeon; caring, compassionate, (funny), honorable and completely trustworthy. Joyce H read more

Dr. Kearney is awesome as well as his nurses! I just had my surgery this morning and I'm so happy with the results! Kearney even called me tonight to follow up and see how I was doing! The surgery was a breeze. I was walked through EVERYTHING multiple times beforehand so I'd know what to expect. Seriously, go see this doctor for your procedure! read more

Dr Kearney and his entire staff were so kind, friendly and professional. They were ready to answer any questions or concerns I had. Dr Kearney was such a nice person. Very friendly and personable. read more

For over ten years, Dr. Kearney has been my fountain of youth. Always educating, being honest and always perfect results.

Outstanding surgeon. "5" star service all the way. Katie the beautiful receptionists greeted me with a warm smile. Melissa the office manger was super friendly and was able to accommodate my busy schedule. Diora the nurse was very gentle and informative. Dr. Kearney hires well! The doctor was funny and had a charismatic bed side manner. He made it easy to discuss the treatment I desired. Thank you all for a fantastic visit. I will refer my friends and family! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I was super nervous before going into my initial consult. The entire staff made me feel quickly at ease. Dr. Kearney spent close to an hour with me, not a nurse, Dr. Kearney. He answered every question before I asked and covered things I didn't think to ask. His nurses and office staff are incredibly nice. My BA surgery went incredibly smooth. I LOVE my results. The night after my surgery I got a call personally from Dr. Kearney AND the anesthesiologist. I would recommend Dr. Kearney to anyone and everyone who asked. read more

If you're searching for any of the services offered at Dr. Keaeny's practice, this should be the last review you will need to read. Regardless the service the team at this office is second to none. Words that come to mind are friendly, kind, approachable, professional and caring. read more

I had a procedure done with Dr. Kearney I believe the procedure was called ( skin tight. )The results were very minimal; nonetheless I wanted to come in for another treatment. Upon dialing his office Katie the office receptionist puts me on hold and without knowledge of who I was, she puts me directly to Dr. Kearney, he asked what I needed to told him I was interested in another procedure of a skin tightening, he says ok fine, he would transfer me back to Katie. Katie looks up my name and says I missed an appointment in 2018' and because of this, I was dropped as a patient! I was stunned! I don't feel this was the reason; I think his practice is bias! I was told by Katie to find another doctor!! (Insane) I feel the office staff including Dr. Kearney is very bias and selective on who he takes on a patient! I was a referral from another patient when I was treated. Goes to show what type of practice this is. They have no sympathy for their patients needs. They completely drop you as a patient without regard. Would not recommend, Obviously has no regard for his patients read more

I have to say that I am completely shocked at how perfect my breast look after he did my breast surgery. I am a breast cancer patient and I had a prior lumpectomy that left my left breast 3 sizes smaller then my right breast, I had 3 prior breast implant surgeries with another plastic surgeon and still had issues on the breast cancer breast being flat and both breast not matching. I went to Dr. Kearney in hopes that he could make them pretty again. He was completely honest and upfront with me, Love his bedside manner and his honesty. Surgery went well, I had hardly any pain at all which was amazing, not one issue and over the weekend I got 2 calls from Dr. Kearney checking on me to make sure I was ok and also gave me his personal cell number in case of any issues on the weekend. I have to say hands down..... he is an incredible surgeon takes his time and explains everything. His staff were all amazing too very friendly and helpful. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. I want to show the world my new breasts lol. Thank you Dr. Kearney you are amazing!!!! read more

I booked a consult ard 3 weeks ago, very informative Dr Kerney told me to get more research about why I gained almost 20 lbs In two months before I get anything done, I'm glad I listened. staff was really chill not pushy very comfortable. After doing a few more consults with 6 other doctors I decided to set a date with Dr Kerney, which was a very smooth process . I will be back after my procedures to fill you in and I did lose 10 lbs because I toke his advice. read more

Dr Kearney and his staff are amazing!! It's been over a year since I had my breast augmentation done and I still love them as much as I did on day one! If you are looking for a natural look he is your guy! His bedside manner is incredible. He was very honest with me and spent a lot of time with me answering all of my questions. After my surgery he called me to check on me multiple times as well as his staff. Everyone in his staff are wonderful and extremely helpful. My incisions are in my armpit and they healed so well I have a hard time finding them. I'm so grateful that I found him! Thank you Dr Kearney! read more

I used Shannon at Dr Kearney's office for my hair grafts. I have been searching and reviewing doctors for over 5 years before pulling the trigger on Dr Kearneys office. After meeting with Shannon, I knew this was the place for me. I am so happy with my results!! The first 3 months I was like OK anyday now, and Shannon walked me through the whole process month by month. After a few months I was like a chia pet, it just kept growing thicker and thicker. I would highly highly recommend anyone thinking about hair transplantation or FUE to use Shannon at Dr Kearneys office. read more

Look no further if you are considering getting a breast augmentation! Dr. Kearney and his staff are incredible. I had thought about getting my breast done for about 10 years and after many consultations I never felt like I found the right Doctor for me. When I met with him and his staff not only was the consult free but they spent over two hours with me as I was so nervous and didn't know what directions to go in. They talked me through each step and explained all the implants. I booked my surgery and felt great about it. 4 days before my surgery however I just wasn't sure I picked the right implant for me. I called the office late on a Friday and with no hesitation the office staff said let me go get the Doctor on the phone for you. Sure enough a min later he was on the phone talking through my concerns with me. I ended up switching to a smaller implant and he made the changes for me. The night before the surgery the Anesthesiologist called me to explain everything and so did his office. They were so nice and made me feel so comfortable. The day of the surgery was a breeze. The Doctor was right on time, the nurses were so calming and surgery went great. That night at home Dr. Kearney called me himself to make sure I was doing ok. It's been 3 weeks since my surgery and I couldn't be happier. I went with the arm pit incision and the scar is so thin and won't be noticeable once it heals. I would recommend this incision over any others! Trust me!!! One side note. I work in healthcare and I am around many Doctors, hospitals and doctor offices every day. It is rare that you find the kindness, follow up and care that this office provides. Every single person that works there has been amazing. They still call me each week to see how I'm doing! (Lacy thank you) Hope this helps anyone considering getting their breast done. read more

I came in to see Dr. Kearney because I thought there might be a small leak in my implant. I am a breastfeeding mother, and Dr. Kearney informed me that I need to stop breastfeeding because I'm not providing any nutritional benefit to my child, as well as I am creating an unhealthy attachment. I called today to let them know how grossly misinformed Dr. Kearney is- that in fact the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) as well as WHO (World Health Organization) both recommend breast feeding until age two or beyond. Longer breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer as well as malocclusion in infants/toddlers. Those are just 3 benefits out of 20+. Katy told me on the phone today, that it was just a difference of opinion. I asked, "who's opinion" and she stated: "Dr. Kearney and yours." I quickly corrected her again, stating that it wasn't my opinion but the AAP & WHO- and countless hours of supporting research. I also told her that it was out of line for Dr. Kearney to even mention anything to me, when he didn't know what he was talking about. There are multiple clinical studies regarding the benefits of continued breastfeeding. If Dr. Kearney feels the need to over step his bounds and discuss it, then he should be educated on the most current data/research. Incredible information found here: http://kellymom.com/ages/older-infant/ebf-benefits/ http://www.who.int/maternal_child_adolescent/documents/breastfeeding_long_term_effects/en/ https://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/breastfeeding/conditioninfo/pages/recommendations.aspx read more

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Kearney for about 5 years for various cosmetic procedures. I have been extremely happy. Unlike a lot of doctors, he is very easy to talk to AND he is a very skilled surgeon. Dr. Kearney spends a lot of time during each appointment answering questions and explaining details of the procedures. I never feel like he is rushing to get to his next appointment. For me, it is very important to have a doctor that is not only a skilled surgeon and personable. Nobody enjoys going to the doctor, but Dr. Kearney's bedside manner really puts you at ease. Katy, Melissa and the entire staff are terrific as well! Keep up the awesome work! read more

Dr. Kearney and his staff are awesome...I went in for a consult and he was talking me out of doing procedures! He said "no you don't need that and no you don't need this....." What? An honest plastic surgeon who isn't a money grabber? Get out of here...you must be joking, right? No, it's true....he just wants what is best for his clients and if it's not money well-spent, he will tell you...love this guy! read more

Dr. Kearney did some work on a skin bump on my daughters face today. Not only did he treat her with kindness and respect, he went out of his way to do the procedure for free. She is a college Senior (with clearly limited money) so he told her it was a birthday present to her. WOW...you don't find people out there like this out there anymore. His gesture was truly appreciated! read more

This place is Tits! I love Dr. Kearney and his whole staff. Here's my story: I had wanted a breast augmentation since I was 13 when all my friends were growing boobs and I was left with pancakes. I grew up in a family of 6, 5 girls and 1 boy. All of my sisters were size 2 with DD's!? what happened to me... A cups :/ I was the kid who got teased for having small boobs and remember getting a water bra as a gift at my birthday party in front of all the school boys. Lets just say the party ended early. It took awhile after that to be comfortable in my own skin and to be confident with my body. When I met the man of my dreams he truly loved me for who I was and every part of me. Although he loved everything about me and didn't want me to change anything he was very supportive about my decision to get breast implants. We were on our way home from vacation, about a 6 hour drive, and the whole time I was researching Plastic Surgeons. I was judging them based on their website and post-op photos. I think I flipped through more then a thousand photos. I narrowed my search down to 2 surgeons, Dr. Kearney #1 and Dr. Batra #2. My first consult was with Dr. Batra although I liked Dr. Kearney's photos the most. I really like Dr. Batra, I have nothing bad to say. When I left his office I thought for sure I would be calling them in an hour to schedule my surgery date, I was so excited. I got home explained how my consult went to my man and he was excited for me but reminded me to still consult with other Dr.s because you don't know what your comparing when there's no one else to compare to, which I recommend always doing. I scheduled my consult with Dr. Kearney for later that week. I walked in with the same questions: What incision site do you prefer? Under or over the muscle? Saline or Silicone? Whats your recommendation? To be honest both Dr.'s gave me the same recommendation, 350cc, High Profile Silicone, Under the muscle. The only difference is that Dr. Batra suggested Inframammary incision and Dr. Kearney preferred transaxillary incision. The reasons why I choose Dr. Kearney: 1) He shared detailed information during my consult that assured me he was the one. Breast width, incision site, silicone vs. saline, and HP. He really is good at what he does. Trust him. 2) His recommendation and reason why. 3) Price was right 4) I felt comfortable and loved the energy. I couldn't wait to schedule my surgery. I had my surgery in November of 2012. I just passed 6 months post-op a couple days ago. I love everything about my experience, I couldn't have asked for a better one. From the fist day of my consult to my 3 month post-op Dr. Kearney held my hand and gave me everything I asked for. Thank you to everyone who helped and supported me through this journey. I love my breasts. I highly recommend Dr. Kearney and look forward to having him as my plastic surgeon for other services I may seek. Thank you Dr. Kearney and Staff! read more

Love Dr. Kearney! Had a mommy makeover by him on July 18. Recovery has been super easy and almost painless! I've seen him twice since surgery and he answers all of my questions! I'm very happy with the results that I'm getting! I def recommend him to anyone that wants the best care and best results! read more
