She is incredibly knowledgeable with product, techniques, and placement- I would DEFINITELY call her a master injector (even though she's modest and would probably deny that title lol). She's always educating me as well as answering any and all questions I've thrown at her making me feel at ease. And I would also like to point out that I've found Linda to be a "conservative" practitioner with a "less is more" approach so she never tries to sell me on treatments I don't need and even turns down things I've asked for that she feels I do not need either, which I like. Anyone looking for facial enhancements or anti-aging treatments should come see Linda. You'll be in the best hands. She's beauty, brains, and as sweet as candy!

This review is long overdue. Due to a traumatic experience it has taken me almost 4 years to write…read more In September 2020 Dr. Hurvitz repaired our son's face at just a few hours old. Dr. Hurvitz is a wonderful surgeon and human being. My newborn baby was cut from eye to ear during a crash c-section. 3 plastics surgeons turned down the repair because they felt they weren't skilled enough due to how deep the cut was and the proximity to nerves, his eye, his ear, muscles, the age of the newborn and other various factors. They weren't sure if my son would be able to feed, or use his eye. One surgeon called Dr. Hurvitz in to the hospital for a consultation. Thank God Dr. Hurvitz agreed to come in and do the surgery. He was off, and at home with his family. His team kept my baby alive when he had to be intubated and struggled to breathe (he was hours old and had been exposed to many drugs during the crash c-section because they couldn't get me numb). Finally, at almost midnight I got to meet my son after 8 hours. He was perfect. His incision/ scar was minimal. It's hardly noticeable now, almost 4 years later. Sometimes when his face turns red I can see a faint white line. It was so big, so complicated and so deep, and now it's a tiny paper thin line. The stitching was beautifully done. Most importantly He was able to nurse, and use his eye, he had no issues opening or closing it. Dr. Hurvitz repaired the muscle, nerves and incision perfectly. His office staff are also wonderful people. They patiently worked with me on insurance and payment. They answered every email, and call. They are a Wonderful group of ladies. Dr. Hurvitz bedside manner when I met him and his assistant put me at ease. I don't remember what he said, but how he made me feel. He cared. He was funny. And he's absolutely the best surgeon. Thank you Dr. Hurvitz. You were one of the few good things that happened to us during that horrible experience. We thank God for you every time we look at our son's face. He's gorgeous and healthy. The scar is minimal and most people don't even notice it. I would absolutely trust and recommend Dr. Hurvitz.

I've been getting treatments for a long time, so I pay attention to technique, and she was so careful, thorough, and intentional with everything she did. She made me look so much more refreshed and balanced while still looking completely natural. I left feeling so beautiful and happy with the results. What I also love is that they offer so much in one place. I started my weight loss meds there too, and I'm already planning to come back for a surgery consult and a facial.

I went to Waltzman Institute on August 20, 2025 for a consultation for brachioplasty and an…read moreassessment for skin tightening procedures on my abdomen and thighs. Prior to this consultation I submitted photos and had multiple phone conversations with the patient coordinator Abagail. Abagail spent a long time with me on the phone answering all of my questions and was very helpful. We spent a lot of time searching for the right date to schedule the surgery, considering how long I would need for rehab, when my husband would be available to drive me afterwards, arranging a dog sitter, scheduling my pre-op appointment and all of the details which must be arranged around the surgery date. We finally agreed on the date of Thursday, September 18, 2025. I told my husband the date. He arranged his schedule of work, travel and meetings to be available during that time, I scheduled the dog sitter, I went to my pre-op appointment, I got clearance from my cardiologist and I was all ready to go on Thursday, Sept. 18. Then I went in for my consultation with Dr. Waltzman who I liked very much. We decided I would be a good candidate for the brachioplasty. He explained the likely outcome and the details of the rehab. He was also kind enough to let me know that I am not a good candidate for skin tightening procedures at my age, due to the lack of enough collagen to get good results from skin tightening procedures. I was very happy to then go to Abagail's office to pay for the procedure and finalize the schedule. That was when Abagail casually informed me that the date she and I had so carefully chosen, the one I had spent so much time making arrangements for, with my husband and his work, my dog sitter, my cardiologist, and my primary care doctor- she informed that this date was no longer available. I was so shocked when Abagail very casually informed me that she had given that surgery date to someone else. I asked her why she had not let me know that the date I had so carefully arranged for was a tentative date. She said that her policy was to not give priority to anyone. My response was that she certainly gave priority to someone else for that date when she had already promised it to me. Abagail declined to apologize to me or to acknowledge that she should have told me the date was tentative. She declined to be accountable at all for putting me in such an inconvenient position. I felt that I had been betrayed, or misled or manipulated or disrespected by this person who refused to take any responsibility. I followed up by calling and speaking to who I was told was the office manager at that time, whose name I do not remember. We had a very helpful conversation where I explained to the manager my experience with Abagail and how inconvenienced I was by being given a surgery date that was so casually withdrawn with no acknowledgement at all that she should have made it clear to me this date was tentative. The manager listened politely and thanked me for the feedback. I thought that was the end of the issue until yesterday. Yesterday I tried calling the Waltzman Institute to schedule a consultation for injections in my lower face. However, Makayla, who I spoke to today, said she had never spoken to me before, and is now the office manager. Makayla very authoritatively informed me that The Waltzman Institute is refusing to have me as a client. So today I learned that the Waltzman Institute has chosen to ignore a potential client's attempts at providing, what some professionals would consider to be valuable feedback. I am disappointed at this response and at how this supposed professional patient coordinator at a reputable medical practice was able to act in such an unprofessional way, refuse to own up to what she did, and then convince other staff members to not listen to me or to consider my feedback. These types of experiences are the most valuable learning experiences for all us, except for those who refuse to hear or listen to feedback, or for those who can't acknowledge their own accountability for their own mistakes, as in his case, when a client calls them on their responsibility to inform the client of all pertinent information pertaining to the surgical date. Before this encounter with Abagail, I was impressed with Dr. Waltzman, and I felt that, to him, earning the trust of his patients is a very important part of his practice. It is ironic that his own patient coordinator, along with the current office manager, should go behind his back to erode that trust . When I spoke to Makayla today, she verbally included Dr. Waltzman himself as one of the decision-makers who voted to ban me from his practice. However, I think that Dr. Waltzman will be ashamed when he learns of this sabotage. I hope that Abagail will at some point grow a seed of how to acknowledge her mistakes and learn that listening to feedback can be personal growth material.

If you are searching for a doctor that is a genius, no exaggeration, but also has the best bed side…read moremanner... search no further Dr. Justin Heller is the best doctor. I know a lot of people claim their doctor is the best doctor, but I work in healthcare and I know just because you went through medical school doesn't mean you are the best doctor. A couple years ago, I was referred by my mother to have Dr. Heller do my plastic surgery, breast augmentation surgery. It was right before my wedding, and I had a very narrow window where I could get this done. He fit me into his busy schedule and I was mot the easiest case because of my scoliosis I'm very uneven and my rib cage is kinda twisted. He took the extra time to make sure everything looked perfect. He is not only a terrific surgeon but has an artist's eye for perfection. He even made a house call to check on my mom after her surgery. I've never seen a doctor go out of his way like dr. Heller to make sure his patients feel comfortable and taken care. Now for the miracle case, recently Dr. Heller was the only doctor that actually took initiative on my perplexing hand/finger case. After a month of being in total agony, and being admitted into the ER twice for four days, no doctor would perform surgery on my swollen finger. My right middle finger swelled up while I was sleeping one night and my boyfriend had to saw off my ring to get it off. I've been having swelling of my hand and feet lately, possibly an autoimmune disorder, but my finger never went back down to its normal size. It actually continued to keep swelling and I use my hands for my work, so I was not about to lose a finger to this mystery swelling. Doctors kept saying they would do surgery and then they would come back in and back out of surgery because they didn't know why my finger was swollen and they worried draining it would cause infection. My finger wasn't infected though and I felt like other doctors were not listening to me. I finally remembered Dr. Heller wasn't just a plastic surgeon, he had a specialty in hand surgery. I drove from Orange County to Lancaster in tears and hoping he could help me. Dr. Heller showed me compassion and confidence that he would find time in his busy schedule and take me to surgery the next day. He found a clear plastic rubber band hair tie had been around my finger cutting off almost all veins and ligaments almost on the bone in surgery. So I basically had a tourniquet around my finger for a month and he almost had to amputate, but instead he decided to save my finger. I guess I was distracted one day when I was braiding my hair and the rubber band was so small I put it around my finger while I was braiding my hair and it must have skipped under my ring. When my boyfriend sawed off the ring the rubber band had slipped in to a tiny cut in my finger. No doctor even thought to look in the cut and they saw it in the CT but said it was scar tissue, NO IT WAS A RUBBER BAND! I got out of surgery and saw Dr. Heller every week and did physical therapy and his team helped me with disability insurance and were so supportive. I cannot brag about Dr. Heller enough! Some people become doctors to help people and then some people like Dr. Heller become a doctor to not just help people, but SAVE people and go to every length to make them comfortable. Go see Dr. Heller either in Valencia or Lancaster, it's worth it!!

I wish I could share a positive experience with Dr. Heller, but unfortunately, I am very unhappy…read morewith the results of my surgery. I went to Dr. Heller to replace my implants because I had an encapsulated breast, and I also requested a breast lift. Before my surgery, I specifically discussed my concerns about my breasts hanging. I brought this up multiple times and made it very clear that I did not want a result where my breasts would hang because I did not like that appearance. Dr. Heller told me that they needed to hang, but I continued to express that this was not the look I wanted. After surgery, once I was able to see my breasts, I immediately noticed that they were hanging significantly, and my left breast appeared noticeably lower and different from the right. I contacted Dr. Heller, sent photos, and was told that I needed to allow them time to settle. I waited several months, but the appearance did not improve. At my appointments, I continued pointing out the issues and explaining that I was unhappy with the result. I felt that my concerns were not being taken seriously, and I was eventually told that it was "not a big deal" and that it could be fixed. Several months later, when I returned to ask when the correction could be done, I was directed to speak with a staff member. I was then told that I would need to pay again for the correction. I paid a significant amount of money for my surgery, and the main thing I repeatedly asked for--a lifted appearance that did not hang--was not achieved. I am now left unhappy with the appearance of my breasts and frustrated that I am being asked to pay additional money to correct an issue I had clearly discussed before surgery. This has been a very disappointing experience for me. I wish I had chosen differently, and I would strongly encourage anyone considering surgery to make sure their expectations are clearly understood and documented before proceeding. I wish he cares more for his patients and not just his money .

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

Less than a month later, I noticed a suspicious lesion on the sole of my foot--an area I don't typically look at closely. My PCP agreed it looked atypical and recommended that I return to dermatology for further evaluation. I scheduled another appointment with Ms. Kelly in April. After examining the lesion, she told me it appeared to be an atypical acral nevus and recommended either a biopsy that day or a 3‑month follow‑up to monitor for changes. When I received the bill for the second visit, I was surprised and disappointed to find that I owed a balance. Given how soon the second appointment occurred and the nature of the lesion, I believe it was likely present--but overlooked--during the initial comprehensive exam. It was difficult to reconcile a 12-24 month follow‑up from the first visit with a 3 month follow‑up just weeks later. The likelihood that the lesion appeared, grew aggressively, and then stabilized within that brief window seems low to me. I expressed to the clinic that, under these circumstances, I felt the remaining balance should be waived. I spoke with both the billing specialist and the office manager, but they explained that the visit would be billed regardless. I ultimately paid the balance. While the staff and provider were polite and professional, my overall experience was not ideal. I was left with the feeling that the initial comprehensive exam may not have been as thorough as I expected. I fully believe providers should be compensated for their work and recognize that healthcare and insurance systems are complex, but I was not completely satisfied with the care I received at this clinic.

I was explicitly told at the appointment that I would be emailed and updated in the patient portal if there was nothing significant to report, but would be called if the biopsy results showed cancer and/or a need to follow up asap. Then I got a voicemail on a Friday, 35 minutes before they close for the weekend and of course they don't leave details in the message beyond "we have your biopsy results, please call back." Any reasonable person would be concerned or anxious at this and the inability to contact the office for multiple days following. Turns out my results were not concerning and of course I'm relieved now. But I spent a weekend miserable and scared as various cancers have come up in my family (which their team knew about and it was in my chart). I provided feedback on the phone to the front office staff just now, and I kept it incredibly calm and polite while requesting their team consider operating differently so as not to leave patients worried unnecessarily. The staff member's response was literally "okay, thanks for the feedback, have a good day." The lack of basic human empathy is unacceptable when you're in healthcare, especially when someone has come in specifically for biopsies because they have concerns about cancer.
