I have been a patient at The Plastic Surgery Institute in Rancho Mirage for the past 20 years, and there's a reason I continue to go back. My first breast augmentation was in 2006 with Dr. Suzanne Quardt, and from the very beginning the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Since then, I've continued returning for medspa services and have consistently had excellent experiences. Both Samantha Marchesson, RN, and Angela Wright, NP, are extremely skilled and knowledgeable in all things skin-related. My concerns are always addressed in an educational, thoughtful, and planned way, and I couldn't be happier with my results. More recently, I've been seeing Angela, and she takes great care in helping me work toward my long-term goals without ever making me feel rushed. What I appreciate most is the honesty and professionalism. I always leave feeling confident that the results we're aiming for are not only right for me, but truly achievable. In a world where social media can push trends and unrealistic expectations, it's important to find a local practice with a reputation built on real, lasting results. I trust The Plastic Surgery Institute completely and wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I've trusted the staff at the Plastic Surgery Institute for nine years now. I received Botox at another office in Rancho Mirage for about a decade. At some point I wasn't satisfied with the long office wait times (I was on time) and wasn't particularly thrilled with my outcome. Although it was priced lower than some other places in the desert, it almost felt like it was watered down for lack of a better description. I began to look for a better option. I tried a dermatologist in the desert and thought the outcome was okay but didn't appreciate the long wait time for my appt, when I was on time. A RN friend recommended Samantha at the Plastic Surgery Institute and I've been seeing her for all my needs since 2017. I've been treated by fantastic by the entire staff and the are experts who are experienced in what they do. The staff has always been nothing but kind, respectful, professional, and welcoming. The office is clean, comfortable and doesn't have that hospital feel like my former provider. I am always seen within minutes of signing in for my appointment. Samantha doesn't recommend anything I don't need or push products. She gives honest feedback. I trust her to make sure I look my best. read more

Samantha is absolutely amazing! She is a brilliant, caring nurse who truly loves what she does. She is witty, genuinely funny, and makes every interaction enjoyable. Her attention to detail is spot on, and she consistently goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, trustworthy, and detail-oriented nurse. She truly is one of a kind. read more

The Plastic Surgery Institute - Employee - Plastic Surgeons Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

This review is specifically for Dr. Villanueva and his staff. I had a breast implant exchange a week ago. I am an extremely nervous patient who always has tons of questions and worries. Not only is Dr. V patient, but he's confident. He's caring. He's just overall the best of the best. Although I know I'm still healing, I'm already so happy with the results. My original implants were 350cc saline under the muscle, and had fallen to the side and also completely bottomed out. Dr. V swapped them out for Motiva, over the muscle, and they already look a million times better. I had ZERO pain. ZERO. I took no pain meds either. Tylenol for a day or two, but that's it. This doctor is everything and more. If you're considering elective surgery, he's your guy. read more

I see Samantha exclusively for my facial injectables. She is the absolute kindest and caring injector! I appreciate the thought and care that she puts in to every appointment we have. You can tell she has a wealth of knowledge and is able to give concise explanations of each product and expected results. She is always truthful with me and gives her honest opinions when I ask, which is one of her greatest assets. I have never once felt like she upsold me on anything.

I saw Sam for the first time recently after being a patient here for while, and it was such a great experience. I told her I like a natural look and explained what I was going for, and she gave me some really helpful suggestions and thoughtful feedback on the questions I had. She clearly knows her stuff and takes the time to make sure you're comfortable and informed. I loved the whole experience -- Sam is truly the best read more

Do you know Sam? If not, you need to!!! Sam is amazing. I started coming to her 7 years ago. I wanted to get Botox but was nervous. She was highly recommended, so I took a chance. She is gentle and really takes the time to "learn" your face and wants to make sure you are going to have results but subtle. You won't look like "you had work done" which I love! The office is clean, and the receptionists are wonderful! What more can you ask for! I will forever be a fan of Samantha and truly appreciate her work ethic and love for the profession. read more

Everything from the first time I entered through the door was first class. I'm a 30 year RN and very aware of everything medical. The staff was so nice and accommodating, my procedure was done by Dr Chopra. He is an amazing surgeon and the nicest man on top of being so skillful in his profession. Amber, Sharma and Marissa and several other staff were great to work with on my journey. Rylan (anesthesia) made me comfortable and not fearful at all. I have fantastic results and am so happy I chose to have my surgery at The Plastic Surgery Institute. read more

Samantha LITERALLY took the divorce off my face in under 5 minutes. I cannot speak highly enough. She is not a professional who just wants to inject everything as much as possible. She makes sure that what she is doing is right for the patient and right for that face she's working on. Before doing any work, she had me sit up, lean forward and lay back and marked my face with a pen to make sure that where she was injecting would blend seamlessly with the natural structure of my face. She's an artist and I looked 10+ years younger in one visit. It's so natural. I look exactly like myself. Just much much more youthful. I can't say enough amazing things! read more

Posting here too: Samantha is the best injector I have ever been to! I starting going to her about 6 years ago for a little Botox and laser hair removal. So this review is long over due... My personal experience with her is that she is extremely patient with me as I tend to get anxiety. She always calms me down and doesn't get flustered by my never ending questions. I never fell rushed or looked down on when I am in her chair. I don't know what she does different but I swear I never bruise and her technique never seems to hurt as other have in the past. My husband sees Samantha for skin lasers and she has truly transformed his skin! He can be a little difficult to please and tends to think most things are a waste of money. He sees a big difference in his skin and even tried Botox for the first time last week! Needless to say she made a believer out of him and he doesn't give me grief for going! A few of my girlfriends go to her for lip injections and love their results. They never look fake or over done. I will continue to recommend all of my friends and family! read more

This review is for Dr. Villanueva... I recently had a breast augmentation revision with him. I just want to come here and say he is phenomenal. I truly had a horrible first experience with another local doctor and was left a mess and completely scared of this process. He made me feel comfortable every step of the way and the results are wonderful. I feel like a new person. Dr. V is newer to their practice and is an absolute amazing surgeon and I will tell everyone I know. The whole staff has been great also. read more

Had the best experience here yesterday! This is my third med spa that I have tried in the Coachella Valley since buying our weekend house. I didn't go back to those other places because I felt I spent most of my time saying no thank you, I'm just here for one thing.....very stressful....and annoying.. I have found my home here! Everyone was so nice, and the best part was, no one tried to convince me to do a bunch of treatments that I did not want! I felt so relaxed and comfortable here. I will be referring all of my desert friends! I will be back! Again and again! read more

I've seen Samantha's work for years and was always nervous to let anyone touch my face. Then I went in for a consultation a year ago for some Botox and Samantha was very understanding of my needs and wants and explained everything in detail before, during and after the procedure. Most recently I had my lips done for the first time and I was nervous, but Samantha explained how the next day and weeks to follow would play out as far as expectations and we started small which allowed me to get used to everything and then I had the option for more if that's what I wanted. Samantha's approach to every face she touches is amazing and she wants everyone to love their results and most importantly she won't do something that she thinks won't look right because after all, we are a direct representation of her work. Trusting Samantha with my face is the BEST decision I've ever made and absolutely worth the money! read more

The Plastic Surgery Institute - Before + After on my lips - Plastic Surgeons Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

If I could give her 10 stars I would! Samantha is true gem!! If you are looking to get Botox or lip injections be sure to call and request her. I recently went in for some lip injections and was scared out of my mind. I watched tons of review videos and read up on the aftercare and I was scared I would be so bruised and in a ton of pain, but in actuality it was the total opposite!! A tiny bruise on the right and absolutely no pain! Like literally noooooo pain! I am shocked! Sam is knowledgeable and professional, my lips look amazing and full. I am very pleased with my results and my experience. If you're feeling nervous and scared rest assure that Sam is your girl! read more

I've been going to Samantha for injections for a couple of years , I've always been more than satisfied with her, and her work, and the efficiency of the staff, well a friend gifted me some "beauty bucks", from another local, and I ended up with droopy eye, I went to Samantha to get it fixed, and the only disappointment, is I didn't go in sooner to have her fix it!2 days later, and I am bright eyed again!! and the best part is she never hurts, she IS the master!! YOU do get what ya pay for!also I'm not one to write reviews, but I'm just so grateful!! read more

Called to make an appointment, never heard back. I guess they don't need the business

I have really enjoyed this office and working with Samantha to keep the youthful glow in my mid-thirties. The entire office is super friendly and helpful and I love the results from all the treatments. I would highly recommend Samantha and the entire office! read more

I just had my first visit with Samantha on the recommendation of a friend. I am so impressed by her knowledge of procedures, products and people. She spent a long time with me going over my history and expectations which made me very comfortable. She asked all the right questions and explained everything in great detail so there were no surprises. I have already made my follow up visit and believe this is the beginning of a long and gratifying relationship! Thank you Samantha. read more

The best! Have had Botox and lip filler multiple times. Always turns out natural and perfect.

After an extreme research on who I should go to for fillers and Botox, I found Samantha and I am beyond happy. I looked at all her instagram pictures and read all reviews and comments and bottom line here is - she is amazing. She really takes the time to study your face and asks all the important questions. She is very knowledgeable and professional, yet down to earth and honest. She is quite simply a beautiful and lovely woman inside and out. She has a gentle hand and an artistic eye. Thank you Samantha - you are a blessing and I appreciate your skills. You exceeded my expectations. read more

I've been a TV Correspondent and News Anchor for 15 years... so looking my best (especially at work) has always been really important. I've been seeing Sam for several years now for Botox and laser treatments... she is the only person I trust. I drive three hours just to see her because I know I'm always going to love my results. She's gentle, conservative and incredibly knowledgeable... plus she's fun to be around so I always look forward to our appointments! read more

After so long of researching and looking for the right person to do my lip injections, I came across Nurse Samantha. I had read many good reviews and experiences about her that I just knew she was the best choice! She gave me so much information on fillers and helped me decide which would be best in achieving the look I wanted. Samantha talked me through step by step through the entire procedure and overall made me feel so comfortable and less nervous. Not to mention, she literally has the best hand EVER and I didn't even budge during each injection, nor did it hurt. She is truly amazing and I just love my new full lips. I can't wait to come for my second round :) thank you again! read more

If I can give Samantha all the stars in the world, I wouldn't second think it. I had an event on a Saturday and decided to make the appointment last minute. Samantha and Amber were more than accommodating to my wants. I went in and was warmly welcomed by the front staff right away. Samantha took me in the room no more than 5 minutes of arriving. I was a bit nervous but she walked me through the entire process and made me feel at ease. Now to the luscious portion. I let her do whatever she thought fit but was a bit nervous. She did an amazing job! The attention to detail was incredible. She made me look so natural with a little plump. No swelling around my mouth (the fake look) whatsoever (and no bruising). I stopped her about 2/3's of a syringe because I thought that was all I needed and she said she would hold on to the rest as she thought I would want it. She was right, I called her about 5 days later and I was scheduled for the following day. I went back with 10000% confidence in her and let her do her thing. I am beyond in love with her work. I would not go with anyone else! Thank you Samantha & Amber! read more

I'm writing this review on behalf of my mother. My mom is not someone who gets a lot of work done, but really wanted to, especially her lips. Last year we went somewhere out in Huntington for and "instafamous" nurse and basically drained my mother's wallet for horrible results. I kept thinking, there has to be someone out in the desert who's amazing. We found "Nurse Reverse" and after my mom saved up, she made an appt. Samantha did such an incredible job. She really took the time to fill lip lines and evenly place filler. From our experience before, my moms lip fillers were done in five minutes. With Samantha, she took more than five minutes perfecting ONE side on my moms top lip. Her work is very meticulous. She doesn't just fill you up, massage, and send you on your way. She really takes the time to give you the best result. She asked my mom to stand up several times to get an overall look and would sit her back to make sure it was as perfect as possible. I guess if you're 19, this wouldn't matter to you. You'd probably want a very quick plump and wouldn't need this time and attention (which I'm sure the quickness is dependent on what Samantha is working with). But my point is, for women who want and need the extra love, you'll get it here. Your money will be well spent. You can trust her to give you the absolute best possible result. I watched my moms confidence skyrocket after a visit with her. It was important for me to give this feedback for other women to read. This stuff isn't cheap and it can be difficult to find someone to trust. We won't go anywhere else and when it's my time to get a little love, I know exactly where I'm going. Thank you again Nurse Reverse! read more

Samantha is the consummate professional. She remains up to date with the cutting edge techniques and is able to share her knowledge in terms which are understandable to the layperson. Her skill is unquestionable - what that means for clients is that there is little, if any, discomfort. Time passes quickly because she is a great conversationalist and funny! She is, simply put, the best. read more

I searched high and low for over a year before obtaining Botox, but when I found Samantha I was finally ready. I met with her for a consultation and went for the Botox that day. Her precision was something I admired and appreciated and her technique was spot on. I inquired during my consultation about lip fillers and her honest opinion is what captured me. Ultimately i returned a few weeks later and had her plump up my lips. She did they so naturally that people hardly noticed. It was just enough to take away what I didn't like about them without letting me walk out looking like Kylie Jenner. She is truly incredible, an artist! read more
