If there's an option of giving ZERO star I would give that to Dr. Fang has no empathy to the patients.

Dr. Brozowski is a rare find in the aesthetic space. Because she is a MD with a background in…read moreinternal medicine, she approaches treatments with a level of anatomical precision that you just don't get at a standard med-spa. She doesn't overfill or push 'trends'; she focuses on restoring a natural baseline. Her technique is methodical, her office is clinical and spotless, and the results are high-fidelity. If you want a doctor who understands the science of aging rather than just the marketing, this is the office to visit.

Dr. Brozowski is an unethical, horrible con artist of a doctor. She had a failed general medical…read morepractice before she decided to try and make money selling skin care services. As others have noted, she is arrogant, rude and lacks empathy. She will push procedures and use the wrong equipment on purpose in order to make money and grow her businesses. She destroyed the texture of my skin and left permanent scarring by pushing a laser treatment using the wrong laser and treating areas of my face that I did not request nor approve. She just does what she wants and does not care about the patient. Avoid her at all costs. Even some of her staff won't let her perform procedures on their skin. She does not have a good reputation with other actual dermatologists in the area, who have had to treat her damaged patients. I too wish I would have looked at all yelp reviews before choosing this horrible doctor.

To my surprise, after his assistant took pictures from all angles and he examined my nose, he said he could help me and that I was a good candidate! Two months ago, I underwent revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim, and I'm extremely happy with the results. He guided me every step of the way regarding what to expect from the surgery. Firstly, he informed me that my nose would be swollen and appear "big" for several months and that it might take up to 1-2 years to settle into its expected shape. He also mentioned that some asymmetry would remain, but that it would be significantly improved. Even while still swollen, I can see a huge improvement, and I've already received compliments from three friends about my new nose. I can breathe better now and have less sinus discharge. Most importantly, I no longer feel self-conscious about my nose. Each day, it seems to be getting a bit smaller, which is exciting. The renditions he provided of what my new nose would look like closely match how my nose appeared right after surgery before the swelling began. I would recommend Dr. Kim to anyone unhappy with their nose. I only wish I had found him sooner.

I have access to treatments and discounts elsewhere, but I specifically chose to see Sally because I really liked her work and trusted her expertise. She is incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and really takes her time. She listened carefully to what I wanted and was very detailed throughout the entire treatment. I really appreciate how natural and conservative her approach is, and you can tell she truly cares about the quality of her work. What impressed me just as much was her follow-up. She personally checked in with me afterward to see how I was healing and has been extremely responsive whenever I've had questions. Being an injector myself, I know how important that level of patient care is, and Sally truly goes above and beyond. I'm so glad I chose her and would absolutely recommend her!

I lived with excess weight and now, skin, most of my life. Even as a teen I was never able to just be myself because my brain was too busy telling myself I was too big to fit in. My mental journey is a whole other level but what I can say is that dr Thorburn removed a lot of baggage for me. I had a Fleu de lis abdominalplasty and an implant exchange. She removed about 10lbs of skin, tissue, and fluid. She was realistic about my results, and was incredibly supportive of my goals. "I just want to be able to function" I told her. I got soooo much more. She gave me the freedom to finally feel comfortable in my skin. The first week was a rollercoaster. She warned me about that and I thought, meh I'm pretty positive and don't really complain, I'm sure it'll be fine. My first week post op visit was rough. I wanted to cry because I felt like I was doing so well with recovery the first couple days, then I felt like I was back to day one. I felt defeated. it's a whole mental journey- but I say all this because she really spoke to the mental piece of such a major surgery as well as the physical. She really treats you as a whole- and not just the piece she's working on. She sees YOU. I recommend her to EVERYONE. Hands down, the absolute best in her field. I may do more work, like getting my lower body done, but for now- I'm just loving my body's upgrade :)

I am beyond thrilled with my results. My procedures included an extended tummy tuck, breast lift with auto-augmentation, and liposuction. Dr. Thorburn's surgical skill is truly exceptional. My incisions are incredibly thin, precise, and already healing beautifully -- a true testament to her meticulous technique and attention to detail. She created natural, feminine results that exceeded my expectations. She gave me the body I always hoped for, and I honestly couldn't be happier. From my very first consultation, I knew she was the right choice. She took the time to truly listen to my goals, thoroughly explained every step of the process, and openly discussed potential risks -- along with exactly how she minimizes them. I felt educated, prepared, and completely confident in her expertise. Her professionalism, warmth, and calm demeanor made me feel supported at every stage. I never once felt rushed or pressured, especially when discussing finances, which was something I experienced at other offices. The day of surgery went smoothly, and her entire team was kind, attentive, and incredibly reassuring. The care I received from start to finish was outstanding. I am so grateful to Dr. Thorburn and the entire team at Napa Solano Plastic Surgery. If you're considering a mommy makeover, I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her talent, precision, and commitment to excellence truly set her apart.

His approach is highly individualized, with careful attention to each patient's unique features and goals rather than a standardized treatment plan. He demonstrates exceptional precision and a refined artistic eye, producing results that are both natural and aesthetically balanced. His ability to combine technical expertise with a nuanced understanding of facial and body harmony truly sets him apart. In addition to his clinical excellence, Dr. Lavey is warm, attentive, and deeply committed to patient care. He takes the time to ensure clear communication and alignment on expectations, which creates a strong sense of trust and confidence throughout the process. His office staff reflects the same level of professionalism--welcoming, respectful, and highly organized--contributing to a seamless and comfortable experience.

Before the procedure, he spoke proudly about his hand technique being more skilled than using a laser machine. Unfortunately, my experience was devastating. The procedure removed layers of skin much more deeply than I expected, and the skin never recovered properly. I was left with permanent scarring and have spent more than 10 years trying to correct the damage and improve the appearance of my face. During my recovery, I was also asked to backdate a release so that he could continue treating me. I found that request deeply troubling and inappropriate. What makes this especially difficult is that I have to see the results every day when I look in the mirror. A procedure that I believed would be simple has had a lasting impact on my appearance and my life. I understand that complications can happen with medical procedures, but my experience has been extremely difficult, and I feel that the depth of the dermabrasion and the resulting scarring were not what I consented to or expected.

He has a great eye for delivering natural results and is incredibly knowledgeable. His staff is always warm and welcoming, and he has such a calm, attentive bedside manner. He really takes the time to listen and understand your concerns. One of the biggest benefits has been the relief from my headaches. The Botox has significantly reduced my pain and has made a noticeable difference in my day to day life. I didn't realize how much it was affecting me until I finally experienced consistent relief. I tend to downplay my own health issues, so I especially appreciate how thorough and thoughtful he's been. Without ever being pushy, he helped identify things I had brushed off for years, like a deviated septum and valve concerns etc. I had normalized my breathing difficulties, but thanks to his approach, I'm finally taking charge of my health and moving forward with the right specialist care.

Now I can use just the minimum needed to enhance features.   In addition to his impressive surgical skill, Dr. Conderman's relaxed personality and approachable demeanor made me comfortable from our first meeting.  He allowed plenty of time in my appointments to answer all my questions, and his follow-up care was equally attentive.  Staff at both his office and the surgery center were friendly, courteous, and efficient. They always made me feel welcome. I couldn't have chosen a better doctor, and I'm very lucky, and grateful, to be his patient.

I was going to make it something I did when I visited my family in Washington State, however, the doctor I tried just kind of looked at me with a shocked look when she read my chart and found out I was in my early 20s and had already had cancer removed. That is not the only troubling thing I have run into since I had cancer. Some of the more religious Christians I have met in my life, have told me that immunity to cancer it simple, just hope one does not get it. If hope were immune, I would not have gotten cancer in the first place. Fortunately, Dr. Camilla McCalmont is a doctor who accepts reality and that while skin cancer may be fought off once it can return. I lived in Albany when I visited Dr. McCalmont and I loved the location of her office. The building had its own parking area, it was conveniently located not too far from the El Cerrito Shopping Plaza, and I did not encounter traffic on the short drive to the office. She and her workers were professional and helpful in setting up the appointment and getting the paperwork figured out. She emphasized the importance of annual check-ups and self exams, urging not being afraid to inspect oneself and help catch potentially cancerous spots early on. Nothing came up of concern on my visit, which was a huge relief. I have since returned to living in Washington State, but was happy with my experience with Dr. Camilla McCalmont and her office.
