Serious complications and lack of care -- please read…read more I regret not doing more research before coming here, and I hope this helps someone avoid the situation I'm still dealing with. Before my procedure, I was not asked for any meaningful pre-op medical clearance, labs, or documentation to ensure I was a safe candidate. I was told this was a "very minor" procedure with about a two-week recovery, which made me feel comfortable moving forward. The day of the procedure, something felt off. The staff avoided eye contact and the overall atmosphere did not feel reassuring. During the procedure itself, I was told I would not feel anything--but that was not my experience at all. I was in significant pain and repeatedly asked for more anesthesia. My concerns were ignored. Afterward, things only got worse. This took place over a holiday weekend, and I was not provided with a direct emergency contact. When I experienced severe pain and complications, the office was closed and unreachable. I had no choice but to go to the ER, where I was treated and given antibiotics. In the weeks following, I developed complications consistent with fat necrosis and required multiple drainages. Nearly two years later, I am still dealing with ongoing issues in my hip, including hardness, swelling, and recurring infections. When I returned to Dr. Gorman for help, I did not feel supported. The interaction felt dismissive, as if my situation was an inconvenience rather than a serious complication. Now, two years later, I am once again hospitalized and being treated for cellulitis. The swelling is severe, and I have been unable to work for over a month, with no clear timeline for recovery. This has caused significant physical, emotional, and financial stress. I strongly urge anyone considering this provider to thoroughly research their qualifications, ask detailed questions about pre-op screening, anesthesia management, and post-op care, and make sure you are in safe, experienced hands.

Dr. Mehta performed an incredible septoplasty surgery on the left side of a 90% deviated septum…read more The surgery went smooth. He was so kind and reassuring at all times. Even though I was nervous, he and his amazing anesthesiologist were always confident and have had several years of surgery experience. My recovery was strong- no pain or nausea, a couple of days of minor bleeding, managed with just mild medication. I also managed to sleep. And Dr. Mehta's post - op support has been incredible. He truly cares about his patients and has made a positive difference in my quality of life. I sleep better, and can exercise more. And I noticed better cardiovascular function aswell. I am Truly grateful to have met a gifted and a talented surgeon in Dr.Mehta! Jill also worked magic with the insurance companies and his entire staff at the clinic is professional and friendly. I highly recommend him if you are considering a septoplasty!

Unfortunately, this also meant that I suddenly had nobody here to take out my sutures or to monitor my healing when I got back- and I was completely overwhelmed. Thankfully I found Dr Mehta and made an appointment, and I'm so, so glad I did. He immediately noticed I had a bad infection before he removed my sutures, and likely ended up saving the work that had been done on my nose in the process. He treated me for it right away and I was perfectly ok in under 48 hours. Not only was Dr Mehta willing to help me out even though I wasn't originally his patient, he was also available and responsive to me later that night via email and phone. Plus the ladies in his office are the BEST! The lovely girl at the front desk is also proof of his work (she has the perfect nose), and I would go to Dr Mehta if I had to do it all again. Highly recommend!

After breastfeeding for 19 months, I really needed a lift to restore fullness and confidence. From the very first visit, Dr. Steven Struck was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. During my consultation, he understood exactly what I was explaining and delivered exactly what I had pictured in my mind. The lift and fullness I now have has taken my confidence through the roof--had I known it would be this easy, I would have done this five years ago! Before my surgery, I received so much helpful information, including a folder with before-and-after details, which made me feel well-prepared. The surgery itself was a breeze, and the staff at the surgery center was compassionate and professional. After surgery, when I visited the Los Gatos office several times, the staff were incredibly helpful in explaining what to expect and what to watch for. Being new to surgery, this guidance was extremely reassuring. The office manager, Lupe, was especially amazing--she helped me complete my disability forms and time-off-from-work notes and always responded quickly to any requests. Everyone I encountered truly treated me like family. My scars are minimal and the results completely exceeded my expectations. Dr. Struck's skill, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients are unmatched. I really felt supported every step of the way. I'm so glad I chose him and have recommended him to all of my coworkers. I couldn't be happier with my experience.

This review is long overdue…read more Over 12 years ago, I had a breast augmentation performed by Dr Struck, and it resulted in severe capsular contracture and some of the worst scarring I have ever seen. He placed 550cc implants through the nipple, and I was left with horrendous thick scars that affected me physically and emotionally for years. What makes this even more upsetting is that I have since had my implants redone by a different surgeon and did NOT experience the same complications, excessive scarring, or poor outcome. That alone confirmed for me that what I went through the first time was not "normal healing" or simply bad luck. I understand surgery always carries risk, but there is a difference between unavoidable complications and careless surgical work. I spent years feeling insecure, uncomfortable, and frustrated over results that should never have happened to the extent they did. I would strongly warn anyone considering procedures with this doctor to do extensive research and think carefully before trusting him with your body. I genuinely wish I had gone to someone else the first time.

Please please go elsewhere if you have any sort of serious/complicated skin related medical issues…read more The PA that works here is extremely dismissive and misdiagnosed me multiple times. I have been dealing with a skin issue for five weeks and when I expressed that I felt like I had been given bad advice, her AND the MA gaslit me and told me to just keep using the regimen that was prescribed which WASN'T WORKING BTW. She also said I could be seen by another colleague at a different location but they would say the exact same things. I ultimately did decide to go to the San Mateo location for a dermatology consult and an allergy panel and when I tell you my experience was like night and day. Dr. Patel made me feel so seen. Not only did she listen to all my questions but she encouraged me to speak up for myself. She affirmed that the advice I was given was bad advice. Some of the advice given from the PA at the RWC location was that I should stop using petroleum and use a topical steroid and any type of lip balm. Dr Patel told me that an allergy to petroleum is extremely rare and it is concerning that the PA would not only continue to prescribe a topical steroid but also advise me to use any lip balm which has plenty of random ingredients that could worsen my supposed allergic reaction. Even if my skin condition doesn't get immediately better after seeing Dr Patel (which i don't have a doubt that it will under her care) the PAs lack of empathy and just overall malpractice is reason enough to never come to this location.

Several reviews here refer to her as doctor, which is incorrect, as she is not a licensed or practicing physician in the state of California. I wouldn't go here for any level of complex care beyond basic things like prescription refills.

I spoke with five different surgeons in the Bay Area and she really stood out for her professionalism. More so than any other surgeon, my consult with her felt like a medical appointment as opposed to a sales pitch. She went into my medical history and went to great lengths to understand the results I wanted to achieve, especially as a smaller person trying not to go too big. She was honest, patient, and highly informed and willing to go into great detail about the procedure, which I really appreciated. Jolie (the practice manager) was also fantastic for laying out all of the details of the surgery and making sure it went smoothly. I trusted her enough to try a new implant (Motiva) that she hadn't worked with previously and do not regret my decision at all. The surgery itself went very smoothly and I had a surprisingly quick recovery (2 days of bedrest for 215-230cc implants under the muscle). Dr. Weintraub and Jolie were very responsive with the questions I had about aftercare. Three months post-surgery, I'm incredibly happy with the results and keep getting great feedback about how natural they look and feel! 10/10 would recommend this practice and working with Dr. Weintraub especially. Note: A lot of plastic surgeons will go to great lengths to market themselves, taking out advertisements and promoting their business so it's at the top of search results. I heard about Dr. Weintraub from a friend-of-a-friend and was way more impressed with her than all of the top-billed surgeons I consulted with. She doesn't advertise as much, but honestly she doesn't need to.

That all changed when I came across Dr. Jayaram's website and began watching her educational videos. Her approach felt thoughtful, precise, and natural, which gave me the confidence to schedule a consultation. From the moment I met her, I felt a strong sense of trust. She has a calm, reassuring presence and clearly explained what could be achieved. I never felt pressured and only guided and she gave me confidence that I would be happy with the results if I chose to proceed. She also has a very polished and professional presence, which added to my comfort level. I also want to mention Sky, her office assistant, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and organized. She helped coordinate my appointments seamlessly and contributed to making the entire experience smooth and pleasant. The office itself is beautiful and welcoming, which reflects the level of care they provide. After the procedure, I will admit I was initially nervous to look in the mirror, which I think is natural. I was even surprised that I was able to drive myself home afterward. I had expected to feel comfortable going out with sunglasses after about a week, but I ended up giving myself closer to two weeks, which was the right decision for me. At my one week follow-up, she carefully checked my healing and asked to see me again at one month. At that visit, she took my after photos and I am now happy to say after three months that I am very pleased with the results. Looking back, this was a thoughtful and worthwhile decision, and I am truly glad I did it. Dr. Jayaram has a gentle touch, a precise eye, and a natural aesthetic. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering this procedure. Overall, she is a master in her field. If I could give more than five stars, I would.
