Dr Mowlavi and his staff were excellent. From the front office to the medical assistances to Dr Mowlavi himself, they are all very professional and very positive, upbeat and knowledgeable. This was a first for me and they were very re assuring of the process and kept me updated all along the way as to what to expect and the complete procedure. Dr Mowlavi is very skilled and an excellent plastic surgeon. My procedure was a couple weeks ago and my incision is almost all healed with no visible scarring nor marks, probably looks even better from before. I highly recommend Dr Mowlavi for any plastic surgery needs !!!! Larry D.

I ran to Dr M and he did a c- flap with his assistant. I thought he was kind and did not hesitate to close up the open gash in my face. To me he's a sweetheart. I gave him a Teddy Bear hug and im not sure he even got paid. I think he has a heart and I read some bad reviews and thought I'd defend him. I think it was 2009 this happened and I am having a drooping eyelid now. So I need to fix it but it held up for many years. There was never any improper touching..I felt very comfortable with him. I kind of think when dealing with body sculpting you have to shed modesty. .I recently went thru breast cancer surgery. At first I was timid but got used to showing my breasts to These Dr's not big deal. Now I need breast reconstruction and I decided against implants. Not sure my next move but I wouldn't be afraid to C dr M after all these years again.

I almost lost my arm about 12 years ago I would drive up to see my doctor twice a week. Every time I came up I would bring fresh produce for the entire staff One day I was on the restroom got a call answered it left the restroom and walked out side and finished the call I did not even say a word until I was out side A RN I had never met and I was there a lot try to shame me when I waked back in the office You can't be on your phone in the lobby o said I wasn't I went out side you followed me out side so you must know that . When I was called back to get my vitals and do lab work the RN followed me and the MA around trying to provoke me I did not take the bait I told my doctor what happened he said she was not a nice person and to be careful with her I said ok On my next visit she comes into the lab she was trying to provoke me again two medical assistants were shaking I looked at her and asked why she felt the need to stalk me She leaves the lab and tells Dr Bent I was causing problems when I did noting of the kind. I went to this clinic for years I work in health care I was a navy corpsman I was a medical equipment rep I called on doctors offices I assure you I know how to act in a lobby This RN was a total cun! I lost my doctor with no debate Dr Bent would not meet with me it was just done The RN was pure evil she really was. I would not recommend coming to this clinic. For any reason if they are applying for grants refuse them There is no excuse for a RN to treat patients like she did . If she still works there I have not forgotten what you did I hope your karma catches up to you. If she reads this your a horrible person you have something broken inside y ou have a need to feel powerful land your a very bad person . Managment if you had others tell you she has been mean to them or she got patients kicked out don't believe her she is a psychopath. On that note good luck if your patient you're going to need it. Management your welcome to contact me for more information she was a RN not a medical assistant.

This had been something I wanted to do for a while but didn't feel the time was right or I was reluctant since it is a major change. I was looking for a Dr. who had experience and success working with smaller framed women like myself and was recommended Dr. Ip. I did research on my own and talked to other surgeons in the area. I still felt most confident choosing Dr. Ip. I am happy I did because my results are very flattering while still being the size I wanted. Im pleased with the results, follow ups, and communication to any questions I have. Dr. Ip goes above & beyond to make sure patients are informed before, during and after surgery. Pricing was very reasonable especially for Newport Beach / Southern California area. Thankful for wonderful service, results and information and highly recommended! :)

I had such a great experience with Dr. Steven Ip and his entire team. From my consultation through…read moresurgery and recovery, I felt like he really listened to what I wanted rather than trying to push me toward a procedure I wasn't comfortable with. I had previously been told by another surgeon that I would need a breast lift to get the result I wanted, but I really did not want the additional scars or a lift if it wasn't absolutely necessary. Dr. Ip took the time to evaluate my anatomy and gave me another option that made much more sense for me. We ultimately went with Motiva Ergonomix implants placed over the muscle/subfascial, without a lift, and I am SO happy that I trusted him. My surgery and recovery were honestly easier than I ever expected. I had very minimal pain, never needed the prescription pain medication, and felt extremely well taken care of throughout the entire process. I'm now several weeks out and already love my results more and more as everything continues to settle. They look beautiful, feminine and proportionate to my body, which was exactly what I wanted. What I appreciated most about Dr. Ip was that I never felt pressured or like there was only one "correct" option. He listened to my concerns, worked with my anatomy and my goals, and ultimately gave me the result I was hoping for without putting me through a procedure I didn't want. Choosing a plastic surgeon is such a personal decision, and I did a LOT of research before making mine. I'm genuinely so happy I chose Dr. Ip and would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering breast augmentation.

He has a great staff so that's a great indication that he treats everyone with respect and kindness.

First off, I am very disappointed to write this review, though I feel the need to warn others. I…read morewaited a year and a couple months to have him work on my nose to fix it. He even handled my court case and made $15,000 off of that which we lost the case and we are in debt from all of my nose surgeries. I had emailed him about an estimate for my nose, it was around $30,000. I had my consultation once again after the waited time period, we talked about fixing the holes (dents in my nose from missing cartilage), and fixing the irregularities. I booked the non refundable deposit of $1,000 after meeting with him and scheduled the surgery thinking the quote would similar to what he quoted me on email. The receptionist (I can't say names on yelp), sent me a quote of $187,050. I was floored. I lost the deposit money and we can't afford almost $200,000 for a nose job. I am filled with so many questions of why? Where did we get so lost? My emails are ignored now. I lost the money to the lawyer to the last surgeon who botched me, we're in debt from 4 surgeries that botched me, and I put all my eggs in one basket as to the hope for him to fix me for good. We can't even get a loan for $200,000. I'm really down and absolutely shocked that he said he would help me, but surprised me with a price tag that's insurmountable for what we can afford. It's saddening. My hope is gone for surgeons. They're greedy and money hungry. I hope this review gets him to read what emotional toll this has taken on me, and to think before you charge a patient $200,000 to fix irregularities on their nose. I'm no millionaire or billionaire, I'm a mom raising a toddler who has had a really hard time looking in the mirror. I wish he would have kept his word. Only God will judge us at the end as to how we treated those in need of help but couldn't afford a quarter million dollars to get it.

Both were exceptionally helpful and kind throughout a very stressful process. Dr. Saffarzadeh put our racing minds at ease from our first meeting, explaining everything in detail and outlining the expected outcomes. We left that meeting confident that my husband was in good hands. His staff is equally kind and supportive, always addressing our concerns without making us feel like an inconvenience. Everything went according to plan, and we had the best possible outcome. From the moment we met Dr. Saffarzadeh, we felt a sense of calm and assurance that everything would be okay, and it was. Dr. Saffarzadeh is not only an outstanding surgeon but also a compassionate human being. His expertise in robotics allowed him to remove my husband's tumor with precision, making his recovery much smoother. Dr. Saffarzadeh exceeded our expectations in every way. Before the surgery was over, his hospital staff called to let me know that they were almost done and everything was going well, so I wouldn't worry. Thirty minutes later, he personally called me to say the surgery was finished, all the tumor had been removed, and my husband was recovering well. I've never met a doctor as detailed and caring as Dr. Saffarzadeh. I highly recommend him. If you need a thoracic surgeon in Orange County, CA, give his office a call. Orange County Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeons - Orange 1310 West Stewart Drive Suite 503 Orange, CA 92868 Phone: (714) 997-2224 We left his office feeling confident and informed. I can't thank Dr. Saffarzadeh and his wonderful staff enough for their care during what could have been the most stressful time of our lives. I wish I could give them a million stars because they truly deserve it. Thank you, Sherry Kirakosian

They are on it, & they get things done, simply put. They know what's going with each patient. For example, when we were undergoing the surgery scheduling process which has multiple steps, whenever we requested a follow up, the staff knew what was going on, & they took steps to make sure everything was being done in a timely manner. They treat us with kindness in every interaction.) On Dr. Saffarzadeh - He saved my mother's life. His expertise & skill got my mom successfully through a precarious surgery, & in no time, she & our entire family were back to our normal lives...Which is all the blessing we could ask for. Dr. Saffarzadeh gave us that - more precious time with my mom & each other. We have the utmost confidence in Dr. Saffarzadeh. He explained the treatment plan in detail & in a way we could understand. He answers & even elicits questions from us. He knows my mom's case such that every time we see him, we feel that her care is continuous, almost as if she's the only patient he has. He gets things done quickly, including speaking directly & right away with other physicians whose care was also needed to get my mom's surgery & treatment plan accomplished as quickly as possible...With right away meaning, now, right during our visit. We are so gratefully amazed by this. He even provides contact information such that we can contact him anytime. Dr. Saffarzadeh also embodies the other part of being a great physician, which is compassion. We felt it from the very first visit. We know his field must be so demanding & busy, but we never feel that from him. We can feel that he cares every time we see him, that he is giving everything he has to do what's best for his patients. We are so grateful to Dr. Saffarzadeh. In truth, I get teary-eyed in gratitude whenever I think of the profound help he has given to my mom. The community & his patients are blessed he is here & that he chose this profession of healing people. We are blessed to have him as my mom's surgeon. We have personally told him, but I hope everyday he carries with him the knowledge that he absolutely helps people & makes their lives better. We are forever indescribably grateful.
