If I could give Dr. Driessen and her team more than 5 stars I would. I learned about her via word…read moreof mouth from a local moms group I'm in. I heard she truly cares about her patients and was extremely kind and empathetic, and that her work is exceptional- and that was 100% true. As soon as I came in for my consultation I knew she was the surgeon for me, she was extremely thorough and spent over an hour and a half just answering my questions. At pre-op Dr. Driessen again spent HOURS answering my questions, reviewing the procedures with me, all the while being kind, patient, and understanding with me. Day of surgery her team were amazing. The nursing staff were so reassuring and sweet. I'm on day 3 post op today and got to come in and see the results and CRIED. I could not believe how amazing my results are! Dr. Driessen and her entire staff are extremely skilled, kind, perfectionists. I will refer her to every one, and I wouldn't consider going to anyone else in the future. These procedures literally changed my life and I am eternally grateful for the care I received.

Do not go to Dr. Driessen for breast implants. She did a terrible job on me and two years later I'm…read moreresearching doctors to get them fixed and redone. She was very nice during pre op but post op I got ignored for weeks and then when she finally returned my call she was extremely rude to me in answer to my questions. Such a disappointing and frustrating experience.

I have been a patient at The Plastic Surgery Institute in Rancho Mirage for the past 20 years, and…read morethere's a reason I continue to go back. My first breast augmentation was in 2006 with Dr. Suzanne Quardt, and from the very beginning the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Since then, I've continued returning for medspa services and have consistently had excellent experiences. Both Samantha Marchesson, RN, and Angela Wright, NP, are extremely skilled and knowledgeable in all things skin-related. My concerns are always addressed in an educational, thoughtful, and planned way, and I couldn't be happier with my results. More recently, I've been seeing Angela, and she takes great care in helping me work toward my long-term goals without ever making me feel rushed. What I appreciate most is the honesty and professionalism. I always leave feeling confident that the results we're aiming for are not only right for me, but truly achievable. In a world where social media can push trends and unrealistic expectations, it's important to find a local practice with a reputation built on real, lasting results. I trust The Plastic Surgery Institute completely and wouldn't go anywhere else.

I've trusted the staff at the Plastic Surgery Institute for nine years now. I received Botox at…read moreanother office in Rancho Mirage for about a decade. At some point I wasn't satisfied with the long office wait times (I was on time) and wasn't particularly thrilled with my outcome. Although it was priced lower than some other places in the desert, it almost felt like it was watered down for lack of a better description. I began to look for a better option. I tried a dermatologist in the desert and thought the outcome was okay but didn't appreciate the long wait time for my appt, when I was on time. A RN friend recommended Samantha at the Plastic Surgery Institute and I've been seeing her for all my needs since 2017. I've been treated by fantastic by the entire staff and the are experts who are experienced in what they do. The staff has always been nothing but kind, respectful, professional, and welcoming. The office is clean, comfortable and doesn't have that hospital feel like my former provider. I am always seen within minutes of signing in for my appointment. Samantha doesn't recommend anything I don't need or push products. She gives honest feedback. I trust her to make sure I look my best.

I have not had the pleasure of going onto Dr.Mo's table yet but I did the best decision and went in…read moreto go see him ! Let me tell you that he is so sweet and Makael are down to earth and make you feel so appreciated and advocate in wanting to let you know that any question or request is your right. I was so nervous about today and I came out so excited and happy. Just being over the phone with Sarah in the front desk with scheduling was just so relaxing. I believe the front desk in any location represents the staff as a whole and believe me please ! This is the place to go. I am so thrilled to come back and get my breasts repaired ! My ladies are in different zip codes but I have such good faith in Dr.Mo that he is going to make them neighbors once again ! I will be posting photos after my procedure but I just want to say how nice and encouraging it was with the experience I was given today !

-- For the Anxious Girlies…read more I'm scheduled for my procedure tomorrow, but I felt compelled to share my experience with the initial process because it has been nothing short of exceptional thanks to MaKael, the surgical coordinator, and Aja, the pre-op assistant. I've wanted this surgery all my life, ignoring the upper half of my body in all aspects, but I'm scared of change. Even if I'm not content with something, the unknown is very scary for me. From the very beginning, MaKael has been my rock. She is incredibly informative and never once made me feel rushed or judged. I tend to overthink and stress myself out with endless Google searches, but she calmed me a million times over. She was quick to respond (even calling me on her day off when I was anxious) and always gave me clear, honest answers without fluff. She has a way of articulating exactly what I was thinking and truly held my hand through the process, both figuratively and literally. I came in 3-4 times for sizing because I just couldn't make a decision, and she never once lost patience. She took all the time I needed and made me feel completely at ease. Honestly, she is the reason this process has been so easy and reassuring. Aja, the pre-op assistant, has also been wonderful. She called me multiple times before surgery to go over the process, and when we met in person, she was just as lovely, warm, and reassuring. The instructions she gave me to prepare for surgery were so simple, clear, and easy to follow that I felt confident and ready instead of overwhelmed. I also appreciate that I was able to meet with the doctor multiple times before surgery. He was consistently honest, confident, and realistic with my expectations. What I love most is that I still get to sit down with him one final time before surgery to discuss sizing and details again. Nothing has ever felt rushed. I'm admittedly the classic indecisive patient, not about having surgery itself, but about what would best fit my frame, and they have gone above and beyond to make sure I feel comfortable with every decision. On top of that, I normally go to a med spa in Orange County for my Botox and fillers, and when I mentioned I was considering this surgeon, they immediately knew of him and reassured me that I was making a great choice. That outside validation gave me even more confidence moving forward. If you are even considering a procedure, even if you aren't sure, I can't recommend this team enough. Having people like MaKael supporting you makes all the difference. She has turned what could have been a stressful, intimidating journey into one where I feel cared for, understood, and completely confident. I will update this review with my recovery and results in a few weeks, and again in a few months once everything has settled. But for now, I can honestly say I couldn't be happier with the process leading up to tomorrow. I'm so grateful to this team for making such a big decision feel safe and supported. Procedure: Breast Augmentation

I cannot praise Dr. Eko enough. I don't know that my words can truly express my gratitude for Dr…read more Eko. Dr. Eko performed a skin and nipple saving bilateral mastectomy in December 2024 with tissue expanders placed for reconstruction. I spent an entire year, due to prior radiation, waiting for my final implants, which were completed in December 2025. Throughout that journey, Dr. Eko demonstrated extraordinary professionalism, compassion, precision, and skill. One of my greatest fears after surgery was that I would never regain sensation in my nipples or surrounding tissue. For over a year, there was no feeling at all. Then, in April 2026, something remarkable happened -- sensation and nerve function began returning to my nipples. To experience that after believing it might never happen truly felt miraculous. I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the care and expertise this surgeon provided. The cosmetic outcome is beautiful, but even more importantly, I feel that I was treated with genuine dignity and care during one of the most difficult experiences of my life. Dr. Eko is the utmost professional and an exceptionally talented reconstructive plastic surgeon. I would highly recommend them to any woman facing mastectomy and reconstruction
