I knew I wanted to do something to my eye area to look more youthful after 25 years of Botox in my…read moreforehead. Funny how things align. Long story short, my mom and I (who has since passed away) were shopping at the cute makeup store in Montecito next to Jeannine's. A woman there was helping us, and my mom, who was 86 at the time, told her she had beautiful skin and lips and asked if she saw someone. She smiled, handed my mom Dr. Yegiyants' business card, and that was that. Fast forward about six months. My injector, Melissa (who had been doing my Botox and filler for years), decided to join Dr. Yegiyants' office. I couldn't believe it! I made an appointment for my Botox and was able to spend a few minutes with Dr. Yegiyants. I went in thinking I needed skin removed from my upper eyelids. She walked in wearing the chicest blue leather dress, gently placed her finger just above my eyebrow, lifted it slightly, and said something like, "All you need is this." Then she added, "Not a surprised look..." I was sold. I didn't need to hear anything else except, "When can we schedule it?" About a month later, I had my brow lift. I honestly didn't do much research because I believe that when things align like this, they're meant to be. On the day of surgery, I was dropped off feeling completely at ease. From the moment I walked in, the office felt like family. Everyone there is genuinely kind, warm, and caring. I even had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Yegiyants' husband, who also works in the office. The surgical suite is immaculate, private, and welcoming. Once I was in my cozy pre-op outfit, the nurses kept me laughing and completely entertained. I wasn't nervous for a second. Before surgery, Dr. Yegiyants came in, carefully looked me over, and we reviewed the plan one more time. It was such a comforting moment. She looked like an astronaut in all of her surgical gear, and somehow that made me smile. I went into surgery with a forehead that had always felt heavy. I came out looking lighter, happier, and more feminine--while still looking like myself. I saw Dr. Yegiyants the very next day and returned for several follow-up visits. Everything healed beautifully, and I always felt completely cared for. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Yegiyants and her entire team. They are exceptionally professional, compassionate, and talented. If you're wondering whether you should do it, my answer is yes. You'll probably ask yourself why you waited so long. She takes incredible care of her patients from beginning to end, and I couldn't be happier with my experience.

My daughter had seen Dr. Chan for a few years now and has had no issues with her treatments and care, but she was informed that she could no longer schedule appointments with Dr. Chan. My daughter cannot be seen as she did not schedule yearly appointments, which we were not informed that we had to do this for her to be considered an established patient as they are not accepting new patient intakes at this time. Be prepared to be met with hostility from their front desk if you call. Despite being a previous patient, my daughter was met with immediate rudeness before she had even spoke. A heads up or a phone call beforehand would have been appreciated to let us know that we would have to stop service with Dr. Chan. I cannot imagine how shocked other clients have been with this news.

I had never been to a dermatologist before and all my peers and doctors recommended it. I had a growth on the right side of my nose. Dr Novatt was shocked when he saw a giant basal cell on the right side of my nose. He went into action with his skill and wisdom and to this day it hasn't returned. He called it the basal cell from hell. I mean WTF!!!!!. I almost lost my nose. I've been following up with him through the years and he hasn't let me down yet. He's got a good eye!!!! Sure that laser stings but look at what I've gained. Great team and they treat me like I'm family.

Ive been a patient here for over a decade. Originally with Novatt but changed to Dr. Frucht and…read morehave been seeing him for at least the last 7 years. First of all, Novatt had some of the worst bedside manner I've ever experienced with a doctor. Really impressively poor. I remember when I switched to Frucht, it was night and day. Frucht was so warm, so kind, so patient, and super respectful. If it weren't for Frucht, I'd have left the practice. Let me say first, I believe, wholeheartedly, that Dr. Frucht is a great doctor. He knows his stuff, he's incredibly intelligent, and I really can't say a single bad thing about his ability to treat skin effectively. Unfortunately, his personality as a doctor has really changed since I first began seeing him. He's still very respectful, however I get the sense that he's become a bit jaded. I used to feel like I had his full attention and all the time in the world. I used to feel like he really, truly cared about me as an individual. As the years have passed though, I've felt less and less like I matter. I've noticed myself feeling more and more like a number on a page -- he's in and out, totally rushed. If I have a question he's almost literally one foot out the door while I'm talking. There's no warmth anymore. He's still friendly, but it feels less intimate and genuine. Like he's a bit detached. I don't know, maybe he's just burned out. It does seem like they have a pretty substantial patient load. I agree with many of the other reviewers here regarding the front desk. They're awful. Unfriendly, short, no sympathy for patients. I called once to let them know I was stuck in traffic and would be 5 minutes late. They said 5 was okay, but anymore and they'd have to cancel my appointment. I got to the office exactly 5 minutes late but the person at the desk was on the phone. By the time they hung up it was 7 minutes late and they said they would have to cancel because it was 7 past. Insane. Also, good luck getting an appointment if it wasn't booked out months in advance...even if it's an urgent reason. They don't care at all. Between the horrible office staff and Dr. Frucht becoming more and more jaded, I've made the decision to find care elsewhere. I'm truly grateful to Dr. Frucht for the care he's given me over the years -- there's no doubt he's a good doctor and i think a good person. I really hope he finds his way back to how he was.

Dr. Chapple is doing God's work on earth!…read more My story begins in San Luis Obispo, CA where I was working at a bar in mid-March and was hit in the face by a drunk guy. This resulted in my left cheekbone being fractured in three places. The following week, everything began getting shut down by COVID-19. It was extremely difficult to reach my insurance, doctors offices, and even find soft foods at the grocery store. That first week after the injury was brutal. I wasn't seen by a specialist until over a week later. Then when I finally got to see him, his office and my insurance could not come to a financial agreement for the surgery. I saw him three times over the course of a month and a half and every time was this same excuse. Then finally after he gave up on my insurance, I found Dr. Chapple. At first I didn't know what to expect, I never thought I would be seeing a plastic surgeon at the age of 25 (or ever for that matter). The first time I saw him was at the end of May and he asked me "Why was this fracture not corrected around the time of injury?" When I told him it was a financial problem between the insurance and previous specialist, he couldn't believe it. He sat me down and explained all my options, he was very thorough and explained everything so any regular person could understand. After his explanation I told him I was still interested in doing the surgery and he told me they would schedule it right away. I genuinely felt this doctor cared about my situation and wanted to help. I struggled immensely between the injury and seeing Dr. Chapple because it felt like no one was going to help me recover. Dr. Chapple has a kind heart and his staff was very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. The surgery took place days later, YES DAYS. After waiting for so long I couldn't believe it was actually happening and the results could not have been better! The left side of my face was essentially flat before the surgery and now it looks like I have a cheekbone again. There is no doubt, if you want a plastic surgeon that cares about his patients and gives amazing results, go see Dr. Chapple!

I was incensed by the person slamming Dr. Chapple. Indeed, her remarks illustrates the "power …read more.. and folly" of Yelp. A person with no knowledge of Dr. Chapple can react like a spoiled trollop because of some hurt "snowflake" feelings. Then again, what she stated, probably happened. New staff can make errors. Remember, this "offended person" had no procedure from Dr. Chapple. So, now you will hear from someone who has known Dr. Chapple for 45 years! Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s I opened my electrology office in Santa Barbara and had several transsexual clients (M - F beard removal). At the time few surgeons would work on transgender people. The infamous Dr. Brown, Los Angeles, (who eventually lost his license and moved to Mexico) did surgeries and disfigured many trans-people; including a few of my clients. I wrote to all the surgeons in Ventura and Santa Barbara about this horrible situation. ONLY Dr. Chapple responded. He phoned me. He not only corrected the surgeries, but he didn't charge ... the surgeries were free. Thus, began my extensive experience with Dr. Chapple. Over the years, I have referred at least 50 of my own patients (and friends) for plastic and reconstructive surgery. All brilliant outcomes. Chapple is not only a stellar surgeon; he is a "wizard" and is able to do things others seem incapable of preforming. And, I know what I'm talking about. I worked in surgery with other surgeons. Their work was not up to Chapple's level. (Great personalities ... not so great in surgery!) For example, I had a simple "eyelid" procedure from a surgeon I worked with, and it "went wrong." Chapple corrected it using a complicated procedure that other surgeons were anxious about performing. But it gets better! One of my favorite patients had breast augmentation from another plastic surgeon (no longer here). The surgeon took my patient home after her surgery and "enjoyed a good time" in his hot tub. A few days later, the woman had both breasts infected and ended up at Cottage hospital. Chapple was called in. He had to remove both breast implants and the woman was on I.V. antibiotics. After she was cleared-up, Dr. Chapple reconstructed her breasts FOR FREE. Even the mention of Dr. Chapple's name, to my client, would cause her to cry at how much he helped her. But it gets better ... WAY better! For Chapple's entire career, unknown to people in Santa Barbara, he has traveled to underdeveloped countries and performed free surgery on children and adults with facial (and other) deformities. He pays his own way. I asked him why he doesn't claim any "notoriety" and he said he doesn't want any recognition. "Helping others in need" is enough reward for him. There are facelifts, and then there are facelifts. The ones you cannot detect are the ones Chapple has done. He is the only surgeon I've seen who can perform male facelifts (and female too, of course) that look completely natural. Again, I have sent at least 50 people to Chapple (and cared for many of his post-op patients) ... I know his work well. Additionally, Chapple is not only one of the best Plastic Surgeons ... he is also one of our best physicians (he is in the Dr. Hosea category: TOP guys!). Before any procedure, Chapple reviews what is intended and he directs me to all the finest physicians (and saved me from the not-so-good ones). Several years ago, he identified a potentially fatal skin cancer on my face; when the lesion was less than 1-millimeter in diameter. I had to have a large (hand-sized) skin graft and 5-weeks of radiation. I'm fine; the graft is nearly invisible. If you want an office done-up by a decorator, a 300-gallon fish tank, a fancy coffee, a pampering staff that looks like Vogue models, and a surgeon who is more SALESMAN than surgeon ... Chapple is not your man. If you want facials, worthless "products," feel-good procedures, happy talk and "machines" that do nothing (but take your money) ... it's not Chapple. Indeed, Chapple's office is minimal and he hasn't got the best "bedside" (he is British after all). However, once in surgery he is all business (not easy to work with ... it's a legend), and is focused on his work like an Olympic athlete. Eventually, you will find him charming and engaging ... and intelligent. Yes, Cambridge and Stanford intelligent! Chapple's successful surgeries number in the thousands in Santa Barbara. Probably everyone you know has been touched by this kind and extraordinary man: a man with virtually no ego, and no need for superficial adulation. Actually, he doesn't "need Yelp" at all ... his patients come from his many thousands of successful outcomes. Santa Barbara knows Dr. Chapple! He's a local institution.
