I understand why Dr. Hamed has a score of 2.7 here. He has a lot of bad 1 star reviews, just a few…read moreless 5 star reviews and very few in the middle. People either love him or hate him. Lots of people get offended when they encounter a "straight shooter" who gives his opinion no matter how the patient "feels" about it. Dr. Hamed is a striaght shooter. I had an appointment with him two weeks ago and he advised me on my lymphedema. He gave it to me straight, I really only have two options. One option was to lose a lot of weight through the bariatric surgery. He also pointed out some things I could have done, which I did do in part, but I didn't make the ultimate effort. But he was fair and told me what he thought of me personally and although he didn't actually say "get off your ass and do it and you need to do it NOW", I feel that's what he meant. Since that visit, I've been on protein shakes, and I don't even have one until 3:00pm (8:00am-2:59pm on water). It's been hard, and its going to be about a two year journey, but so far Dr. Hamed has kick started me into action! If you're looking to be coddled, Dr. Hamed probably isn't for you. But I'm a difficult person to offend, I appreciated the honesty. As far as the way the ofice runs, I've seen worse. I had a 9:40 appointment. I arrived at 9:30 and saw 6 people ahead of me in line. Normally that means I won't be seen until noon. But I was the third person called into the back. When I was called, one person complained that he had been there an hour before they opened, and at first I felt for the guy. But after I thought about it, he didn't say he had a 9:40 appointment. So, it really doesn't matter how early you arrived, it matters what time you appointment is. And since the office opened at 9:40, his only legitimate complaint would have been that he had an appointment at the same time as me.

My experience at West Medical was that the business is more interested in over-charging insurance…read morecompanies than treating patients. I went to both the Long Beach and Irvine facilities a total of seven times for vein treatment. After multiple ultra-sounds and two sessions of the same photos of my leg, follow-ups, etc., my leg looks exactly the same as it did before my first appointment. There is absolutely no improvement in the vein situation in my leg. I will say that everyone was very professional and the attention to detail regarding cleaniness was excellent. Unfortunately, that didn't eliminate the spider veins in my leg. I never knew what was going to happen at the next visit until I was in the room. I kept going back, but only three small veins in the back of my leg were treated. A varicose vein was cauterized (not sure of the medical term); other than those things, nothing was done. The woman who did the ultra sounds should work on being more personable. There was little communication on her part. The owner of the business keeps apologizing to patients who give the clinic low ratings. Instead of apologies, it might be a good idea to work on improving your treatment of patients. My insurance company paid you thousands, yet I have no results.

I had a breast implant exchange with Estea, previously had breast augmentation at another center…read moreand was not satisfied with my results 2 years ago. Dr.K here at Estea understood the assignment. I finally have the results I wanted. He listens to the patient and explains the procedure. I was nervous about the procedure being done as I am awake and under local anesthesia, but he was very reassuring. To be honest I now prefer surgery awake under local anesthesia, my recovery seemed a lot faster and I did not have to experience the general anesthesia side effects. Also, DR J was there during the surgery she is also great. The entire experience from the first consult to surgery to recovery has just been wonderful. His team is great. I highly recommend coming here for your next cosmetic procedure. I have a second procedure already placed a payment here for my tummy tuck in the summer and I can't wait.

Beyond impressed!!! a dream surgery experience from start to finish!!…read more I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Dr. K and his team. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely cared for!! not just as a patient, but as a person. Every single staff member I encountered was warm, kind, and incredibly attentive. Debbie and Karen, the surgery coordinators, were absolute gems! they made the whole process seamless, organized, and calm. I had an awake breast implant exchange with a lift, as well as a c section scar revision. as a double C-section veteran, I can honestly say it was a cake walk. The vibe was comforting and even fun. we had music playing on the Alexa, and the entire procedure flew by. I expected to be nervous, but I was surprisingly relaxed the whole time. Dr. K was incredibly attentive, reassuring, and present throughout the procedure, checking in constantly and making me feel 100% safe in his hands. As someone who frequents med-spas and has tons of fear and anxiety about anything and everything that could go wrong, , I came in with high standards for safety, cleanliness, and surgical precision -- and I was deeply impressed on all fronts. The facility was spotless (and can we talk about the iconic '90s decor? I love it), parking was easy, and everything felt smooth and professional. It's only been a few hours since surgery, but my results already look beautiful and the experience itself has exceeded every expectation. I also paid a very reasonable price for such a high level of care and expertise -- something that can be hard to find in aesthetics. This wasn't just a surgery -- it was a positive, empowering, even enjoyable experience. I feel incredibly lucky to have found this team. HIGHLY recommend.

I was on…read morea journey to correcting the veins and puffiness that was in my leg and I was really nervous to do so. I had been to a few clinics where I did not feel comfortable when having consultations done and I wish I would have started with Advanced. From the moment of my first consultation and ultrasound, it was already an amazing and such in depth process that I knew I wanted to move forward with them. They explained each procedure I needed to have done and why, helped me with the insurance process, and after each treatment I was given so much guidance and aftercare. Dr wise, Sergio, Layla, Jackie, and their other techs made me feel so welcomed i actually looked forward to going to my appointments instead of being nervous, and I couldn't be more thankful for all the work they did. If you need any kind of treatments done for the veins, this is your place, look no further. I can't wait to go back to treat any little spider veins I have. 10/10 recommend, thank you so so much!

Spider Veins / Varicose Veins ... Grandmother had them - I knew that I was likely to be…read morepre-disposed to them - sure enough they started - and I was concerned about the huge veins near the surface of the skin that needed to be handled. So, both legs back to back, 1 day apart. Sclerotherapy - Mike ( Dr. Setareh ) - such a kind man and easy to talk to - as well as to get the 411 on anything regarding the surgery. They give you numbers to reach the docs after hours, in case of anything. The front desk folks are nice and will also answer any questions you have. Most of the staff is very nice and have a kind word or smile or a concerned look for you - which makes the visit feel very safe. They do this procedure many times a week - and Dr. Satareh is really good at it. It hurts, don't get me wrong, but it's only 20 minutes or so per leg, and then 5 days in compression stockings. All in all.... really good. The underground garage is nice - but small - and if you have a large vehicle harder to park - but, there's an upper lot outside that works too :) I would score them a 98% :) That's a pretty high score ! :)

The doctor insisted that I needed RF treatment for a faulty valve on my left leg first. I didn't want to have RF since I'd never had varicose veins, or pain in my legs. Dr. Michael said he would not treat my spider vein cluster until the other vein was treated. So I had that done. Then when I was ready to have my spot removed, he said it was $650 and that they would treat both legs. There wasn't much to treat, but I said OK. I guess if you can see anything go ahead and inject it. The next thing I know I have spider veins all over my legs. I never had spider veins before. I had a couple broken vessels that nobody could see and now my legs are Covered in veins. I'm assuming he poked holes in my larger veins and they leaked everywhere. He has totally destroyed my legs and has refused to correct the damage. It's been over 6 month since treatment.
