From the moment I called Dr. Hwang's office and spoke with Sandie to schedule my consultation, my…read moreexperience with both of them has been exceptional and worth every penny. Sandie explained that the consultation would take about two hours, which surprised me because other surgeons' offices had told me their consultations only lasted 30-45 minutes. Right away, I could tell from my conversation with Sandie that this office truly had their process and patient care dialed in. The consultation far exceeded my expectations. I felt completely comfortable being vulnerable and discussing the areas I was concerned about. Dr. Hwang took his time with every area, listened carefully, and validated all of my concerns and questions. I never once felt rushed or like I was just another potential client. Immediately after leaving, I decided to move forward with a full mommy makeover with Dr. Hwang. My procedure included a tummy tuck, Lipo 360 on my back and abdomen, BBL, laser skin tightening, plus a breast reduction and lift without implants. Leading up to surgery, the team was incredibly organized and attentive. I received all paperwork, instructions, and communication promptly, and every question I had was answered quickly. It continually reinforced that I had chosen the right surgeon. On surgery day, I arrived at the surgical center and was greeted by one of the kindest and most compassionate teams imaginable. My nurse and anesthesiologist went above and beyond both before and after surgery, making me feel truly cared for and like the most important person there. Recovery was, of course, challenging because of the extent of my procedures, but Dr. Hwang and Sandie personally checked on me every single day through texts, offering support and guidance so I never felt alone during the process. At one point, I experienced more swelling than average and became extremely uncomfortable. I felt terrible texting Dr. Hwang after hours, but he responded within 30 seconds and immediately called in a prescription to help reduce the swelling. I am beyond happy with my results and honestly never imagined they would turn out this amazing. Dr. Hwang is truly gifted and does impeccable work reshaping the body in a way that made me feel like myself again -- even better than I imagined possible. Thank you, Dr. Hwang and Sandie, for giving me a new body and restoring my confidence. This experience has truly changed my life.

He was very thorough during our pre op appointments and made sure he addressed my questions and concerns. The day of surgery was a breeze, his surgical staff was on point and I'm feeling great about my results. I came from out of town for this procedure so naturally I felt scared but his coordinator Sandie helped me find a wonderful aftercare facility. He came and visited me on day 2 and was in touch the whole time for questions. Just look at his resume and you will be wowed with his medical experience. I highly recommend him, look no more.

This is one review I could not wait to share…read more If I had the option of giving 10 stars, I would! I had 6 consultations prior to meeting Dr. Shawn Moshrefi and from the moment I walked in to his office, I knew he was 'the one'. Dr. Shawn Moshrefi took time to understand my goals, concerns, and even the emotional side of why I wanted the procedure. Every question, no matter how small or repetitive was answered thoroughly and honestly. I never felt pressured, only supported and informed. My entire experience felt like being surrounded by family who truly want the best for me. I'm beyond grateful to each and every staff member at Dr. Shawn Moshrefi's office including his office manager, Dr. David who went above and beyond to answer all my questions and concerns. I am one week out today AND MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY TUMMY TUCK AND LIPOSCUTION TRULY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTIONS. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shawn Moshrefi without any reservations

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience because of the profound impact…read morethis procedure has had on my life. I hope my experience helps others make a fully informed decision when considering their options. It has been over seven months since my surgery, and not a day has gone by without stress, regret, and sadness about the outcome. What I hoped would increase my confidence has instead had the opposite effect, significantly affecting how I feel about my body. Before surgery, I was very clear that I wanted a small, natural-looking BBL. Unfortunately, the result I received was not consistent with the aesthetic I had hoped for. The outcome appears much boxier and larger than what I had envisioned and discussed during my consultations. (I am willing to share photos documenting my experience.) I began expressing concerns about the shape almost immediately after surgery and was repeatedly reassured that I needed more time to heal, that swelling needed to resolve, and that the fat would eventually "settle." I trusted the process and waited patiently. However, after more than seven months, the concerns I raised from the beginning remain. I also experienced issues with the contour of my thighs that I brought up during follow-up appointments. I followed the recommendations I was given, including compression, multiple lymphatic massages, and foam placement, but I did not see meaningful improvement. What has been most difficult for me is not only the outcome itself, but the feeling that my concerns were never truly addressed. I left multiple appointments hoping for reassurance or solutions and instead felt that I was continually being told to wait longer. As time passed and the results remained unchanged, that became increasingly heartbreaking. Since my surgery, I have consulted with twelve board-certified plastic surgeons to better understand my options moving forward. One thing I learned is that every surgeon has a different aesthetic style and approach, and not every surgeon is the right fit for every patient's anatomy or goals. Looking back, I wish I had spent more time researching different surgical styles and seeking additional opinions before making my decision. Based on my personal outcome, I do not feel that the surgical approach used in my case aligned with my anatomy or the natural aesthetic I had clearly communicated that I wanted. I understand that other patients may have had different experiences. This review reflects only my personal experience and my honest feelings about the results of my procedure. Unfortunately, this has been one of the most emotionally difficult experiences I have ever gone through, and I wish I had made a different choice. I hope sharing my experience helps others carefully evaluate all of their options before moving forward with surgery.

I had a breast revision/augmentation with Dr. Stephen Bresnick and I'm so grateful for the…read moreexperience and my results. This wasn't my first breast surgery, so choosing the right surgeon for my revision was something I took very seriously. I had older implants, capsular contracture, and needed scar tissue removed, along with replacing my implants and having a breast lift. Dr. Bresnick took the time to explain everything to me, answer my questions, and make sure I understood what could realistically be achieved. I never felt rushed or pressured. For my surgery, I chose 500cc Motiva Ergonomix implants with a circumareolar lift, and I'm truly so happy with how everything is healing and coming together. My breasts already look softer, more balanced and much more natural than they did before. I'm still early in my recovery, so I know my results will continue to settle and change, but even at this stage I feel very confident that I made the right decision. Dr. Bresnick and his team have also been very attentive throughout my recovery. Whenever I've had questions or concerns, I've felt comfortable reaching out and have always felt cared for. Breast revision surgery can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to correct issues from a previous augmentation. I really appreciated Dr. Bresnick's honesty, experience and attention to detail throughout the entire process. I'm very thankful I trusted him with my surgery and would absolutely recommend his practice to anyone considering breast augmentation or revision surgery.

Dr. Shervin Aminpour changed my life. When I was 12 years old, I got accidentally hit on the nose…read morewith a hockey stick in PE class. It broke my nose. I was afraid to tell my parents. Even though they noticed my nose looked crooked all of a sudden, I denied it out of fear, because I was afraid of doctors/hospitals at the time. I couldn't breathe well out of my right nostril. A few years later I started to notice the change in my face due to this unaddressed fracture. I hated how I looked in the mirror and I didn't feel like myself. In my late teens I went to my primary doc, told them I think I broke my nose, and explained the injury. The doctor took a look at me and said my nose was completely normal, didn't address the obstructed right nostril, and said my nose just changed because of puberty and it was my underlying genetics that made me look that way. I was disappointed but accepted what they said because they were an MD, and I didn't want to undergo an unnecessary procedure. Fast forward many years and I just couldn't shake the feeling that something was not right. I stumbled upon a picture of myself before the injury and that was the final straw that led me to seek a second opinion. I searched online for different docs and wanted to find someone who specialized in this form of reconstruction and cosmetic procedure. Long story short, I found Dr. Aminpour. The second he walked into the examination room, without even reading my file, he took one look at me and said "You broke your nose." I cannot emphasize enough how relieving this was for me. I felt like I was crazy for seeing something wrong when my primary doc told me there wasn't. Dr. Aminpour then discovered my septum was deviated through the physical exam, because it was obvious to him that I wasn't passing much air through the right nostril. I was very nervous on surgery day but he did a great job of reassuring me and easing my nerves. I can't tell you how much this procedure changed my life for the better. I got a combo septo/rhinoplasty. After I was cleared to take the bandages off, I left my house to run errands and saw my reflection in a car window. And for the first time in years, I loved what I saw. I felt like MYSELF. Finally my outward appearance matched what I felt on the inside. I asked Dr. Aminpour to make my nose look as similar as possible to what it was before my injury and he did so wonderfully. I stated my concerns about having a nose that had too much of a upturned swoop and a tip that was too thin/pointy. He reassured me that he wouldn't create that look and left the tip alone. The result is natural-looking AND... Taking a real full inhale for the first time in 2 decades made me realize what I was missing for so long.

https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/101-help/index.cfm…read more DR. AMINPOUR IS THIS HOW YOU LET YOUR STAFF TREAT YOUR PATIENTS? THIS IS NOT THE ONLY REVIEW WHERE THEY HAVE DONE THIS TO PATIENTS! They wait until you go into the office and rush you inside to see the doctor saying they are busy with too many appointments and didn't have time to check your insurance before confirming whether your insurance is covered or not when they have a copy of it and work enough with insurance to know by now which ones they accept and which they don't. Then they turn around and put the blame on their patients saying it's their responsibility to verify if they are covered as if the patients are the one with the title "medical receptionist" allegedly this office exists for a money grab they don't care at all and take advantage of they use these words "we will send it to collections" just so they can pay their out of office doctors they bring in, they will turn around and tell you that you took up their doctors time, but don't even consider the fact that you're not there for fun. You also have a life and have a job and they have now taken up your time because they failed to let you know that they don't accept your insurance until after the appointment and now you have to fight for your right as well as go see another doctor again take another day off again lose out on money that you need to pay your bills again. If they hire someone at the front desk they need to give them enough training, so that they don't turn around and blame it on the patients when their employees fail to do their duty. When somebody doesn't know how to do their job why does it become the patient's fault? While I was there, there was another man in there that was arguing with them so it seems as if this isn't the first time they try to swindle patients. Their manager is very rude and aggressive towards someone who is just trying to figure out why they waited until after you have seen the doctor to let you know how much you are going to have to pay for the visit and just tells you that you're arguing with her I didn't realize how easy it is to use "I don't wanna argue with you" as a way to shut down someone who's just trying to figure out why their office messed up this bad when they are a doctors office. If you have patients triple checking with you that you accept their insurance that means they can't afford to pay for a $200 visit! If you let patients know you're gonna get them an authorization because you accept their insurance that means there is no co-pay, and there is no fees if you discover as a medical receptionist as a doctor as a billing encoding employee that a patients insurance is not covered after you have told them it is covered then you should let them know before they go into the visit so that they can decide whether they can afford to pay it or whether they will cancel their appointment and go with a doctor that does accept their insurance because if they could afford private doctors they would have private health insurance. Mind you they will have you fill out a new patient authorization form online where you upload pictures of your insurance card so this means now they have your insurance card in multiple ways and they still fail to do their job correctly!

I wish I could go back and never have this procedure done here. I went in for liposuction and was…read moreleft with a significant burn and scar on my back--something that has affected me physically and emotionally long after the procedure. The recovery was extremely painful. The skin on my back felt so tight that simply laying on my back hurt. I was dealing not only with the normal discomfort of recovering from liposuction, but also the pain of the burn and watching what eventually became a very noticeable scar develop on my body. The emotional impact has been even harder. I chose cosmetic surgery because I wanted to feel more confident in my body. Instead, I have been left trying to hide a scar that has deeply affected my self-esteem. I have spent time, money, and energy seeing a dermatologist and looking into treatments to try to improve something I never had before this procedure. What has disappointed me most is the response afterward. I asked the office if they could reimburse me or at least help cover the medication my dermatologist recommended to lighten the scar, and I was told they could not. That response was incredibly upsetting to me. I wanted help dealing with the physical and emotional consequences of what happened to my back. I understand that complications can occur with any procedure, but how a patient is treated after a complication matters. I am sharing my experience because I wish I had known something like this could happen and how little supported I would feel afterward. This scar is something I now have to see and live with every single day. What was supposed to improve my confidence has instead caused pain, insecurity, additional medical expenses, and an emotional burden that has lasted far beyond my surgery.

I have lived with large breasts for so long that I honestly forgot what life was like before them…read more I had been wanting a breast reduction for a long time, but finding a surgeon you feel comfortable with and can actually trust is overwhelming and time-consuming. I feel so lucky that I found Dr. Jen Stark at the beginning of my search. I have never met a surgeon who is as compassionate, caring, and empathetic as Dr. Stark. She is incredibly detail-oriented, and you can tell how much care, perfectionism, and artistry she puts into her work. As a patient, that was especially comforting to me because I knew I was going to be asleep while she was doing something that was so important to me. Knowing that I could completely trust her while I was out, and that she understood exactly what I wanted and would do everything she could to make it happen, was honestly the best feeling. The recovery was also so much easier than I expected. I am not particularly good with elective surgeries or recovery, so I was prepared for the worst. It ended up being much less painful than I expected, and I healed much faster than I thought I would. Throughout the recovery, Dr. Stark was always available whenever I had questions or started to feel anxious. She was so reassuring and made me feel like I was never bothering her. The rest of the staff was amazing too. Leslie was always there to answer all of my questions (and there were a LOT of them!). She was so patient and comforting throughout the entire process. Sierra also made the financial side of everything very clear and seamless, which made one less thing for me to worry about. I truly could not have asked for a better experience or a better outcome. This surgery has made such a difference in my life, and I am so grateful that I found Dr. Stark. If you are looking for a surgeon who is humble, compassionate, incredibly talented, and a perfectionist in the absolute best way, look no further. I cannot recommend her enough!

Erika at the front desk was so helpful, answering my questions and making the process feel less intimidating. Mona, my provider exceeded my expectations. She was knowledgeable, gentle, and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. She is cautious and highly skilled. Incredible with the eye shields. She's very careful. I was looking for noticeable improvement without being overly aggressive, and she helped create the perfect treatment plan not too light and not too heavy. I had the REVO CO2 laser treatment on my eyes, full face, and neck via Groupon. The office provided detailed aftercare instructions before my appointment, which made being prepared for recovery easier. I also purchased the CO2 Carboxy Mask at checkout. This was incredibly soothing right after treatment. Recovery was easier than expected. Most of the redness and discomfort had subsided by day 3, and I was glad I took a few days off to heal. I'm already seeing improvement in my jowls which look less pronounced. It feels like the clock was turned back. Hooded eyelids look better, so glad I did this. Products I purchased/recommend for recovery: Purchased from Doc office: - CO2 Carboxy Yellow Mask Amazon: - Biotech Hypochlorous Acid Spray - Aquaphor Healing Ointment - Glucan 3000 ointment - 5% White Distilled Vinegar (for gauze compresses) - Gauze Squares - La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm - CeraVe Facial Cleanser - EltaMD SPF 41 Sunscreen If you're considering CO2 laser treatment, I highly recommend Mona and Erika at Dr. Grossman's office. Their expertise, communication, and patient care made the entire experience exceptional. I highly recommend them and will be going back for more. TOP NOTCH!
