Dr. Wakelin and his staff, especially his nurse Christina, were so welcoming and kind. They answered all of my questions and made what could have been a very nerve-wracking experience feel comfortable and easy every step of the way.

My results are EXACTLY what I envisioned; my confidence has never been higher! If you are looking for a surgeon who combines technical expertise with a wonderful bedside manner, look no further.

From the second I decided to inquire about a consultation to now, having experienced the process and worst recovery days, I am so extremely happy I went with my gut & had my surgery done here. I can't think of one bad thing to say & I think that speaks for itself. All of the staff and Dr Shah are amazing. Not only was it my first cosmetic surgery (BA) it was also my first real surgery as a whole. (Other than wisdom teeth). Everyone here has treated me w such kindness, are very caring and go above and beyond to make the experience relatively easy and as painless as possible. I never once second guessed my decision, only felt mild anxiety in the hours leading up to surgery and most of all, I never felt uncomfortable with any of the process. They offer additional convenience factors for contact, paperwork and payment, which I've greatly appreciated w my work schedule. While it will be a little while yet to see my fully healed results, I can already tell I love them. I had explored having the same surgery done a year prior elsewhere and never followed thru w it.. when I came here for my consult, I booked my surgery same day as a 30th bday present to myself. Although, I did feel that would be the case when I viewed their website gallery. I was impressed w Dr Shah's work & struggled to find any "after" pics that didn't look good. Thank you so much!!

I had a breast reduction about 2 months ago and I cannot recommend Dr. Lichten enough! From the…read moremoment of my consultation to post-op care, he has shown an exceptional level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication. He performed my breast reduction and nipple grafts with incredible attention to detail, and the results have far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Lichten has a calming bedside manner which other surgeons I consulted with lacked. He took his time to thoroughly explain every step of the process, answer all my questions and has made sure I've felt comfortable and informed throughout. It is clear he truly cares about not just the outcome of the procedure, but also about your overall experience and well-being. I'm beyond grateful for the care I have and still am receiving and couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. Highly recommend!!!

After a botched repair from basal cell from a dermatologist I went to see Dr. Scott Smith. From the beginning the experience has been unbelievable. He is highly competent, compassionate and truly cares. In my opinion and unusual combination of skills. I have learned that repair of the nose is very complex, and it will never be perfect. Dr. Smith has worked tirelessly with me to improve things to the most optimal outcome. I just finished my seventh surgery today and have had numerous laser procedures. I would travel across the globe to work with the Dr. Smith and the entire team at Smith Facial Plastics.

I can breathe clearly for the first time in years - and I'm happy to say that I've been running again, which was impossible with the breathing issues. What really sets him apart, though, is his honesty and compassion. He has never pushed unnecessary aesthetic procedures and has even advised me not to pursue surgeries he didn't feel were needed. That level of integrity is rare and so appreciated. His bedside manner is warm, kind, and reassuring, and his postoperative care has been even more impressive than the surgery itself, which I wouldn't believe possible since the surgery was flawless. He has been attentive, patient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire healing process. If you're looking for a surgeon with outstanding skill, a thoughtful aesthetic eye, and genuine care for his patients, I cannot recommend Dr. Bapna enough.

I was gearing up to the big 5-0 and I said let's do a facelift. He said, yeah, no. You don't need one. Ok. Eyebrow lift? Nope. You don't need that. He did say that's because my hair was thinning. But I will leave that alone. I was stunned. In Las Vegas, the doctor would have said sounds good enough for me. Let's get her scheduled for surgery. Eye lift, facelift, scrub me in. Not Dr. Bapna. The patience, the bedside manner, and just his kindness is off the charts. This doctor has the credentials, he has worked for the best of the best. But Dr. Bapna has a unique gift that simply says, just because another doctor says you need this, doesn't mean you do.. I'm sorry, what? I will likely kick myself for writing this because I will have to book two years in advance. This doctor walks the walk. He talks the talk. But in my opinion, there is no one better. I am grateful I found him. I still get Botox but he even talks me out of fillers. Run to him!

***REFUSES SURGERY FOR HYPERMOBILE PATIENTS***…read more Dr.Dorner (or his patient coordinators) refused to offer me surgery based on a non-existent 'risk' posed by hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome (a condition 1 in 5000 people have). When asked what risk he thought it poses, his patient coordinators refused to answer, saying 'he knows all about all 13 types of Ehlers Danlos' (something even specialists in EDS wouldn't claim) and he would refuse to operate on any of them. Clearly, someone just googled 'Ehlers Danlos surgery risk' and saw all the scary articles about type IV and type VII, and aortic root distension, and took that to mean anyone with stretchy skin will have their heart explode on the operating table. Or, maybe someone just doesn't like trans women.Either way, this is completely unprofessional and has no basis in medical fact.

READING THIS COULD SAVE YOU OVER $25,000. I've posted MORE details of my experience on Google &…read moreBirdeye for you; not enough room here to describe MY WORST MEDICAL EXPERIENCE EVER. I will always regret my decision to stay in the consult appt. after I told Jamie Bryon that I was scheduled to work 7 days/wk [educating children] & she responded, "Well how is THAT going to work?" in a rude tone & she showed her displeasure of me reading the paperwork. I thought I would only have to deal w/ 1 rude person @ this co. I was wrong. She said I would need lipo on my upper abs. She also claimed that having lipo on my hips "would help with the fullness" in my lower abdomen {my main concern}. Nope. My lower abs still stick out further than my upper abs. DR. GARY BROWNSTEIN called me "OBESE" & YELLED @ me when I didn't have my clothes on during the 1st appt. w/ him. He said, "I'm going to make you look dangerous". HE DIDN'T. At my 1st f/u appt. he also DIDN'T take the tape off of the incisions before he RUSHED OUT to go do another procedure. He DIDN'T tell the nurses to remove it; they DIDN'T remember it from prev. exp. to do it, AND they DIDN'T follow their office protocol when I told them there is a hole in my abd. w/ red drainage. The DR.'s behavior showed my appts. for treatment were an inconvenience to him. He didn't change the abd. dressing 239 times...I did. The DR. was HIGHLY IRRITATED I was asking my questions. He was making condescending & demeaning comments multiple times; so unsupportive. He YELLED @ ME to "STAND UP STRAIGHT!" when I was bent over IN PAIN after the upper & lower abs lipo AND skin removal surgery with 2 INCISIONS - I was there to be evaluated because I had what looked like a white piece of plastic in my abd. I googled some questions to avoid his ire. I didn't know a lot about the procedure; I thought they would tell me everything I NEEDED/wanted to know. THEY DIDN'T. RealSelf.com appeared in my email. There, I found out a pt. should get at least 3 consults (5 is better) WITH SURGEONS to make sure you get the correct procedures performed. The Sono Bello staff & DR. withheld info. about the correct procedure that would have addressed my abdominal issues including it is better for pts. to be within 10-15 lbs of their goal weight before abd. procedures. Some drs. even recommend 5 lbs. Since he used a vertical incision as well as a horizontal incision for the skin removal, the infection got so bad due to their lack of treatment, it made the vertical scar completely open. With 2 x /day dressing changes it took ~ 4 months to close & left an unsightly scar. I couldn't listen to Taylor's song Blank Space without getting upset. I asked DR. B to fix it. He said, "IF IT OPENS UP, YOU'LL BE DEALING WITH ALL THAT CRAP AGAIN!!" I was hoping he wouldn't YELL AT ME AGAIN today. In front of MAGGIE, R.N., (1 of the nurses who didn't remove the tape & who YELLED AT ME @ a previous appt.), he asked me, "Does anyone else see it?" [the scar] in an uncaring tone. Since I pd. for the procedure, I don't think this should matter. I am expecting to get the "best possible result" because this statement is on a paper they gave me signed by DR. BROWNSTEIN. THEY DIDN'T. He has me lie on the table uncovered and says, "WHAT DON'T YOU LIKE ABOUT IT!?!" in an irritated tone. As he is standing to the left of my body, he grabs the bikini bottom garment I'm wearing and FORCEFULLY PULLS THEM DOWN, lower than necessary ~ 6 inches lower than the horizontal scar. He instructs MAGGIE to take a picture, she does not readjust the garment to preserve my dignity. (Again, they are NOT treating me with respect, consideration, and dignity at all times as promised on The Patient Rights & Responsibilities paper they gave me on 6/7/22. The only way I can describe this is EXCRUCIATINGLY UNCOMFORTABLE. He & DONNA seem to hate me. I am devastated that he won't fix the ugly scar [w/ a scar revision], loose skin on my abdomen AND my asymmetrical waist. Before I leave, I ask him for more info. from my chart. He is READING SO FAST, I am having difficulty writing it. He gets to the part that mentions dehiscence & then he says, "You remember dehiscence?" in a taunting tone. I nod yes, trying not to cry. He was standing on my R side & it sounded like he leaned in closer to my R ear when he said it, but I was looking at my notebook trying to write everything he was saying. I was thinking about their Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Christopher Chung's email sent to me on 4/24/22 stating in part, "Each of our physicians is a seasoned expert who cares about your health and satisfaction." During this visit & at other appts., Dr. Gary Brownstein's behavior, words, & tone showed HE DID NOT CARE about my health or satisfaction. Every time I listen to Taylor Swift's song MEAN, I can't help but think of DR. GARY BROWNSTEIN. On 11/26/25, I found out to surgically fix {to get a better result} the condition Sono Bello left me in is going to cost $22,144.00.

Both of my eyes have lost their shape and rounded. His fat repositioning he performed is lumpy and caused bags I never had. In fact, my normal human anatomy and contour is distorted with random lumps of fat at the top of my cheeks. I had really tiny herniated medial fat pads that I wanted removed. And lastly, his co2 laser (that I'm sure he pushes bc he has a quota to fill with Sciton) left me permanently discolored. I was 28 (and getting married in 6 months post op) with absolutely no skin issues or fine lines and he "highly recommended" a FULLY ABLATIVE laser on virgin young skin. This laser should never be performed on someone with tan/freckled skin and I am left with white and transparent skin where the laser was performed. All other occuloplasts use chemical peels or other less intense lasers. Dr. Straka treated me with his one size fits all surgery that he performs on 60+ year olds. He does not customize surgery for anyone and will suggest the exact same thing for everyone, regardless of their anatomy or age. I will have lifelong issues because of this. Any doctor that communicates via social media and provides medical advice via instagram DM is someone to be cautioned about. Please do your own research and never get surgery for a small issue - the risk is too high.
