Well it's been 20 years and I was ready to have my implants removed and get a lift with a fat transfer if needed to fill in where the implants used to be. I went to a few other places for quotes and this was by far the best price (some places quoted double the price) and had the nicest staff. I went back and forth and had many consultations for about 3 years before I was fully ready to schedule the surgery and Dr McKissock was so kind and patient and never pressed me to schedule before I was ready. He answered all my questions and never made me feel silly or like I was being a pain in the butt. I finally pulled the trigger and had the surgery 10 days ago. I can not speak highly enough of everyone involved. From the anesthesiologist to the nurses to the front desk staff, everyone is so nice and welcoming and totally put my mind at ease. I'm not yet totally healed but so far I'm thrilled with the results and I can not recommend this Dr and his staff enough. My husband is as impressed and thankful as I am!

I am leaving a review based on my experience with this location. Had terrible gynecomastia surgery…read moredone here & I feel very disappointed with the results. Dr. Khattab is okay man, he can be rude sometimes but straight to the point. I had consultation with Dr. Khattab what's the plan and recommended this treatment. So I listened and placed my down payment for the surgery with Valentina. So fast forward to my appointment date. Arrived in loose clothing and had very high expectations for the surgery. So surgery was complete and successful and told me and my sister about post up what to do and not to do. I followed strict diet and absolutely no oily food. One week later, arrived at his office, Dr. Khattab removed my bandages and drainage; and this is where my high hopes came down crashing hard... the "successful surgery" was not only reduced the size of my gyno but there's still tissue mass inside! So I told Dr. Khattab the work is incomplete and I worked very hard saving money and lose body fat BUT gyno is not just fat.. some male are born with high estrogen and doing exercise does not help at all. I told him why I still have tissue mass, he gave half ass answer and I was extremely disappointed. So Valentina... came and mentioned it's another $200 for the surgery again. Why? I've spent $5,000 and I have to spend again? It's like dental cavity, missing composite filling and the audacity to charge again for another filling?! Ridiculous. Fast forward to 2025 while having bad terms with Dr. Khattab. I called today 06/18/2025 for 2nd chance, Valentina sounds very rudely when she remembered my name... I greeted her and saying good morning etc etc... rudely she answers uh huh ya uh huh mm ya ok ok. Until I hear unfortunately news Dr. Khattab situation. So I'll make it clear, for the male gentleman who needs gynecomastia surgery, avoid it... $5,000 down the drain and no other surgeon will do the surgery, and for Valentina, please work on your manners. I do work in healthcare field & treat MY patients like family.

The front desk staff were super friendly, and the entire experience--from check-in to follow-up--was smooth and professional. Dr. Wu is incredibly knowledgeable and has an amazing eye for diagnosing skin disorders. He was able to quickly identify what was going on with my skin after other doctors had brushed it off or misdiagnosed it. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel totally at ease. On top of being thorough and skilled, he's also kind, patient, and genuinely cares about his patients. I never felt rushed or dismissed, and I left feeling so relieved and confident in the care I received. If you're dealing with a stubborn skin issue or just want a dermatologist you can truly trust, Dr. Wu is 100% the one to see. Highly, highly recommend!

I've been going here over several months, and I've been very, very happy with their service…read more At first I was a bit taken aback; when you call, there are a lot of phone prompts, etc., to get through, and that gets me wary. They definitely are run like a business rather than a medical practice, which more and more is the norm. That said, once I got here, every aspect I encountered -- front desk, providers, medical support staff, billing, and authorizations -- was friendly, professional, and timely. This is the first dermatology practice that has given me the time of day regarding my hair loss. All the other dermatologists I've seen in the past 10 years have blown me off; one very seasoned derm told me to not waste my money and to "go to Hawaii instead." Another was practically offended when I asked for help with hair loss. RB Skin put me on a prescription and then took a scalp biopsy to find out what was going on. Now I'm getting scalp injections, and after a few months, my hair is growing in! I've had acne since I was 10 (a very long time ago), and they're helping me with that too. Maybe the best part is that I'm on Medi-Cal, and RB Skin knows what my insurance covers and how to get my treatments covered. If you're on Medi-Cal, you KNOW how hard that can be. All in all, I highly recommend this place. And they have lots of samples!

I came to Dr. Newman for a breast augmentation revision, which basically entailed redoing them…read morecompletely (lift, new implants, mesh support, skin removal, etc). I had a terrible experience with a previous surgeon, being a breast cancer survivor, it was pretty traumatizing. Naturally I was very nervous about getting the result I was looking for (this second go around), however it didn't take long for him and his staff, to have me feeling at ease. Dr. Newmans staff is top notch, so professional and beyond kind, from the ladies that called for appointment reminders, to the front desk staff, to the lady that was in the room with me and Dr. Newman during my consult. Dr. Newman, himself, is very soft spoken, kind and has such a good energy about him. He took his time and listened to exactly what I wanted to achieve. He asked me numerous questions and discussed in great detail what he would do to help me achieve the results I was looking for. The surgical center staff did not disappoint either. Summer was my nurse and she was absolutely amazing! So sweet, kept me very comfortable and warm while I waited for Dr. Newman. She was so good, I didn't even feel her put the IV in my arm (which is hard to find with my small veins). Dr. Patel was my Anesthesiologist (she's amazing). She called me a few days prior to my surgery and talked to me for about 30 minutes, going over everything she would do, the day of surgery, and really took her time discussing things I could do to ensure a Speedy recovery. On the day of my surgery She made me feel so comfortable and at ease! When I got home from surgery and was able to take my bra off and see my results, I cried happy tears. They look better than I had imagined. He gave me the lift I was looking for, without looking fake. Everything about them is perfect and symmetrical (which can be tricky, since I had a previous lumpectomy). Not only did I look amazing, I had the speediest recovery ever. I had very minimal swelling, no drains, only had to take 1 pain pill the night of the surgery and one the next night. I took Advil for 2 days and that was it. He is an absolute master of his craft and I will be referring any and everyone that Is looking for a plastic surgeon. Dr. Newman is the best!!!!

Well, that time inevitably arrived and I found that it was only my face and neck that bothered me. I began the search to find the right surgeon for the work, and shelled out quite a bit of money in consultation fees with highly rated local surgeons. What ended up mattering was the "vibe" of the office, the time the surgeon spent on the consultation, and the quality of his assessment of my face and neck. My goal was to look like like a less wrinkled version of myself. I did not want to look "done." All my questions were answered and all my concerns addressed by Dr. Newman. I also loved the consistently positive nursing and office staff. I don't remember the day of the surgery with any accuracy, but I will say that the anesthesiologist Dr. Patel was incredibly kind and forthcoming. She made sure that I knew exactly what to expect. I'm very happy that I chose Dr, Michael Newman for this work. I'm nearly two months out from my neck and jawline surgery and I am so pleased. I also had an Erbium laser treatment (since I'd already be under anesthesia), so the recovery was a little tough on my thin skin. During this time, Dr. Newman and his staff basically babied me (because I AM a baby about this stuff) and he answered every anxious question with a zen-like calm. Every time I left the office, I felt a thousand times better. Dr. Newman's skillful talent is evident in my natural result, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dr. Irvine is not only a genius at her craft, but also an exceptionally kind physician/surgeon with…read morean outstanding bedside manner. We had a particularly unique and difficult situation when our 35-year-old son with special needs had a traumatic fall and broke his nose in two places in October 2024. His nose was visibly smashed and his breathing was badly impacted. He ultimately needed a rhinoplasty and septoplasty. After an initial consultation with another ENT left him frightened and unwilling to consider surgery, we spent nearly a year searching for a surgeon with both exceptional skill and genuine compassion. Dr. Leslie Irvine lived up to our expectations in every way! Dr. Irvine put our son so much at ease that he requested the surgery himself. He went into the hospital in an amazingly optimistic frame of mind, even during pre-op. His recovery was easier than expected, though understandably uncomfortable until the stents were removed a week later. His surgery was in October 2025, but I waited four months to write this review so we could see the results after most of the swelling resolved. We are amazed with the results! His nose looks fantastic, his breathing is greatly improved and this procedure has helped him regain his confidence. We were so impressed with Dr. Irvine's skill that six weeks ago I underwent an in-office procedure with her called VivAer to improve my own breathing. It took only about 20 minutes, strengthened my nasal walls, reduced my turbinates, and required no downtime at all. My breathing is dramatically better, I'm sleeping more soundly and exercising feels easier. We feel extremely fortunate to have found Dr. Irvine and could not recommend her more highly. If you're on the fence about fixing your nose... just call Dr. Irvine.
