Pink M.

One of the biggest regrets in my life... About 2 years ago I've decided to do a rhinoplasty which was my big dream. I've talked to a lot of surgeons and they kept refusing to do the surgery cuz I have a rare health condition. Dr. Panossian said it's ok for him and I ended up taking a pretty huge loan for the surgery. So after 7 hours of anesthesia I woke up and felt horrible. Dr. didn't check on me. I was just staying there till night and I've realized that I won't make it home. I had to pay 1200 to stay overnight. Dr. still didn't show up. The way nurses took care of me was bad except for one Fillipino nurse who was very nice. Thanks a lot to her When she wasn't around my urine was literally standing next to the bottle of water (I couldn't go to the bathroom). Next morning the stuff worker was very rude to me on the phone. They didn't even want to let my son take me home. They were forcing me to use the transportation service they refer you to. In the end they let me out and forgot to pull the needle out of my vein. The nurse then came to my home to get it out. During the entire time I spent at the hospital after surgery I didn't even see the doctor. Which is just ridiculous for me. But all of that wasn't the worst thing. I was ready for almost anything to get the nose I wanted. But even that I didn't get Very soon a hump appeared on my nose. The tip got large and simply went down. I now have scars and cysts in my nose that hurt a lot. Also nose is crooked and it's asymmetric, including the nostrils which the doctor has described as "perfect" On every follow up appointment doctor would come up with different reasons as to why that happens. He was saying that we need to give it a time, then he kept changing the time I should wait for. He also said that it's cuz I'm wearing a mask which I didn't wear. He then said that my skin is too thick which is why the tip is down. He then made a lot of injections. Then he said I need the second rhinoplasty under local anesthesia to rotate the tip. It was very painful and uncomfortable to say the least. But I went through that too cuz I still had hope. But nothing has changed. This time the doctor said it's just the way I am and there is nothing that can be done. And he also said that my nose looks great which honestly sounds like a joke. Now I have: A huge loan to pay off. Crooked nose with a hump and a huge lowered tip and big scar. Everyday I feel devastated and depressed every time I look in the mirror. Finally, I have a broken dream. Maybe this doctor has helped other people but for me this choice was a huge mistake. If you want an elegant nose I strongly suggest you go find other places. Attached pictures, more than 1,5 years AFTER surgery UPDATE (response) Thank you for your educational response. Responding to each section 1. I certainly do have medical issues and other surgeons definitely did refuse to perform rhinoplasty based on purely medical reasons. They wanted me to bring a paper from a neurosurgeon. Dr.Panossian, who was informed of my condition, never requested such document 2. I didn't mind the length of surgery or revision 3. I had no idea I will feel so bad after surgery. I couldn't even get up until midnight. And the doctor never came up to me and said that it is safe to leave (about that later) The overnight service cost me money 4. There were 2 people that could help me get home, including my legal adult son and one of nurses from your hospital. Her shift was over and she wanted to give me a ride. But the medical staff still wanted me to use your transportation service for some reason 5. Amnesia ‍You were saying I had amnesia but I clearly remember asking the nurses if the doctor will show up. They didn't know. By this time, my mind was clear and I'm certain I didn't see the doctor that night and next morning. Also during the follow up appointment he said that he didn't know I stayed overnight. So when exactly did he visit me if he didn't even know how bad I felt? 6. I didn't expect the same result as influencers. For the money I paid, I was expecting at least a normal looking elegant nose without a hump and curvature 7. I can provideENT visit summary 8. The doctor did use the word "perfect" when assessing my nostrils, and other similar adjectives during other visits. My son was there on all of my follow ups and clearly remembers that too 9.Thanks for injection 10. I didn't wear a mask but the doctor said that I do 11.I'm sorry that the changes that were made during the revision were so subtle that I didn't even notice them. I too, hope that other patients were educated on my experience and your response. You said many people would be happy to have such nose. I've posted pictures and if they want they can definitely use your service. I will add the before picture You may or may not accept it but it is my personal experience. Please don't make it priceless. I don't give my permission to use my pictures anyhow.

In love with my nose! Forever grateful for Dr Panossian and Natalie for changing my life with my new nose Dr Panossian and his team care so much and made the whole process easier. I was so scared for the surgery but felt no pain after and had little to no bruising! Dr Panossian's work and care is truly amazing.

What can i say about Dr. PANOSSIAN..The man has Great bedside manners. Great staff. Very helpful and super anxious to help you understand anything and everything. Why? My daughter was born with a form of acrosyndactaly. Fusion of the fingers in her left hand. Basically her hand looked like a horses foot..we were pointed in Dr. Panossians direction from Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Dr. Panossian gave us hope that he would help to give her some kind of a hand back with functionality. Finding only 3 bones for fingers. He did his very best to create a functioning hand for her. My daughter is 2.5yrs old now and has been able to use her hand to put her own clothes on and carry things. Even eat with a spoon and fork. Write with a pencil and draw with crayons. Things no person would think twice about. May God Bless this man and his unique ability to help children. Thank You Dr. Panossian and to all your Staff. We are forever in your debt. Mo Moumne

I was a patient here and underwent a surgical procedure that caused me significant pain immediately afterward. Even after a full year of repeatedly reporting my pain, discomfort, and a terrible aesthetic result--including a visible bulge in my abdomen--I was consistently dismissed. I was told everything was "fine" and that there was nothing wrong. I was the one who had to push for an ultrasound, which ultimately led to a misdiagnosis and the conclusion that nothing could be done. A year and a half later, my suffering had not stopped, so I sought second opinions from other providers. Both of them immediately recognized the diagnosis. It is, unfortunately, a known and relatively common complication of the type of surgery I had. The fact that my original doctor never acknowledged this possibility was deeply concerning. This experience has caused significant psychological stress, ongoing physical pain, missed work, and additional medical procedures. I have now had to take more time off to undergo corrective surgery, I am left with a permanent scar that would never have existed otherwise, and I have spent thousands of dollars out of pocket to repair the damage with a different doctor. What is most upsetting is that I did go back to the original provider, explained the correct diagnosis, and requested a refund based on what happened. I was told that I had received a "beautiful result," despite the clear physical deformity and the painful complication that had been overlooked for over a year. My concerns were dismissed, minimized, and ultimately ignored. At this point, I have no choice but to warn others about how complications may be handled here if something goes wrong with your procedure. I am also now forced to pursue board complaints and legal action, which is something I never wanted to do. I genuinely tried to resolve this directly. No response they leave on this review will change how this situation was handled.

His approach is truly different and customized to your unique biomarkers and lifestyle, not a one size fits all plan. Through this program, my biomarkers have shifted to reflect someone in their late 20s, even though I'm in my late 30s. The results have been remarkable. I've lost weight, my anxiety has decreased significantly, and my sleep quality has improved in ways I didn't think were possible. My skin feels tighter, clearer, and I've noticed a youthful glow returning. Dr. Tang takes the time to educate and guide you through each step, you truly understand what's happening with your body. He has a true talent in connecting with people, adapting treatments so you can live your life and still see results. His compassion and expertise make him a true gem for the clients he serves. I highly recommend Dr. Tang and his age reversal program to anyone serious about restoring health and vitality from the inside out. I can't thank him enough. Tang, you're the best!!!

I understand he specializes in hands and wrists but I'm very happy to have had him as my nose surgeon. My son was able to get an appointment with his office within a day after being released from the hospital. He assessed the break and said he could perform surgery (mainly moving the nose back into piace) and then applying a "cast" for a week. He did that and removed the cast today. Although it's still tender, my "nose job" is done and together with nose exercises five times a day hope it stays this way, I'm good to go. No more trips/falls for me. Dr. Laksman is very professional and knowledgeable and his staff friendly and courteous. I'd give him Ten stars if I could even though five stars is max!

I am so in love with my body and the confidence that came with it is unmatched!! I truly believe my recovery was so fast because of how the team preps you pre-op and post-op. My incisions are so clean and discreet, and everything looks and feels perfect! I am 3 months post op from a mommy makeover (360 lipo, tummy tuck with muscle repair, breast lift, and rib remodeling) after 2 kids and losing over 90lbs! My waist went from 39 inches pre-op to almost 31 inches post-op with the rib remodeling and gave me a very nice and natural shape! The whole staff is amazing but a VERY special shoutout to Dr. Perez, Megan, Donna, and Andrea. Now for my story! I thought weight loss would solve all my problems. But after major weight loss came all the loose skin! I couldn't see any of my hard work and would have heartbreaking insecurities every time I had to wear anything other than leggings and a big shirt. So I started browsing for the right doctor. After going to 2 different doctors, I had given up. The way I felt like just another paying client without them truly hearing me was just not okay with me. After all, I am investing into something major and I needed to feel that it would be worth it. THEN!! I stumbled across Dr. Perez and his work being featured on Athenix. His work was BEAUTIFUL and so natural. I was in contact right away and for some reason, I didn't feel like I was being pushed. I felt very calm. So I went in. Megan is the coordinator and was the first face I saw. MY GORGEOUS MEGAN! She just let me ramble on and listened to everything I had to say. And I started getting emotional and she sat there with me and comforted me. And reassured me that I DESERVE this. Megan also played a huge role over many changes and adjustments I had to make, including rescheduling my surgery by another 6 months due to personal reasons. And she never once made me feel like a burden. Always spoke to me with warmth and kindness, and made sure I was good before anything. Then I met Dr. Perez. This is someone who takes GREAT pride in his work and puts his WHOLE HEART into each and every one of his patients. He is kind, patient, soft, and LISTENS to you. He genuinely cares about how you feel and listens to all your concerns. He also lets you know when a procedure is unnecessary and wants you to feel comfortable about any decision you make. I just don't have enough words to explain how he makes you feel before, during, and after. This is someone you would want to put all your trust into for something so major and life changing! I will forever love him and I'm so proud to always say that he was the doctor I chose to give me back my confidence!! Surgery date came and went, and my post op was in the hands of Donna, the NP. The sweetest person you'll ever meet!! I absolutely adore her and her cute self. She was always cheerful even when I went in moody during recovery or wanted to complain about anything and everything. She listened to all my cranky complaining and would come up with solutions with Dr. Perez right away despite both of them being super busy and I always felt special. I have never once left my appointment with her feeling anything other than happy! She knows how to warm my heart! And shoutout to sweet Andrea, we didn't have too many appointments together but the few times we did, she always made me feel like we've been longtime friends and was always knowledgeable about any questions I had! She was also the one who came out and wheeled me in for my very first post-op and just held my hand (literally!) through it all because I was so scared to undress and see everything for the first time. But overall, I'd do this again and again. And I won't go anywhere else if future procedures ever come up. I hope my experience would answer any doubts you may have. And remember, YOU DESERVE IT ALL!! :)

The waiting room was full, and other patients had been waiting even longer (over two hours). There was no communication, no timeline, and no attempt to manage expectations. Delays happen, but this was chaotic, and appeared to be systemic overbooking rather than an isolated issue. For a surgical consultation, where attention to detail and patient care should be paramount, this experience was concerning to say the least. I felt I was waiting to be processed, not cared for. I sat there thinking - these are the people that would be responsible for my pre-op care, my surgery, my aftercare, and any complications that may arise during or after my procedure. And they cannot get the most basic function of the operation right. Ultimately, the consultation fee was a small price to avoid a five-figure mistake. Maybe it's ok for filler and Botox. If like me you are making a permanent decision about your body, beware. I won't undergo a scalpel on an assembly line. Hard pass.

Since then I was very self-conscious about them because they looked awful. I tried creams, tea bags, cold water compresses, etc. and nothing worked so I made a goal to have lower blepharoplasty done before the end of this year. Around August 2025, I was referred to a plastic surgeon by a friend. The doctor was reluctant to perform surgery on me for a couple of different reasons which I won't go into great detail. So without knowing anyone else, I found Dr. Wang and another Asian doctor via the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Since I am Asian, I was specifically looking for Asian doctors who had experience with this surgery on Asian males. I looked at his website, searched for any medical malpractice cases, lawsuits, was he board certified, etc. then scheduled an initial visit. Including Dr. Wang, I purposely visited with three doctor's for this surgery. During the visit with Dr. Wang, I asked about his facilities, the pre-op and post-op steps, aftercare support and follow-ups, shared with him my concerns (stemming from the visit with the first doctor), and a variety of additional questions. In fact, before the actual surgery date, I had two additional visits with him to talk over the initial concerns I had. Incidentally, there was no charge for these visits. Dr. Wang spent plenty of time with me during all three pre-op meetings and saw me pretty quickly meaning, once I stepped into the office for my appointment, I was seen by him in less than fifteen minutes. The surgery went smoothly and I'm very happy with the outcome. I've had four follow-up visits with him with a fifth one scheduled for February 2027. The office staff is terrific and helpful, especially Michelle Y. The facility is very nice, there's plenty of parking, and overall, a positive experience.

I'm so glad that I went to him because I researched other plastic surgeons and I had such a great rapport with dr. Wang compared to other doctors. And another reason why I chose him was the cost of the procedure was cheaper compared to the plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills. I didn't want to pay a higher price just cuz the doctor is in Beverly Hills. I live further away from Beverly Hills so Pasadena was the better option. Even tho the procedure was done at his Santa Ana location, I am still so happy with the results. And to this day I still have follow up appts with him in Pasadena even tho I had my surgery almost two years ago. Please consider him for any major elective surgery

So far I am so happy with my results and I know it will only get better from here on out.
