This doctor is currently under review from the California medical board. Be aware, the minute he…read morehas your money he doesn't care what so ever what your concerns are nor is he willing to fix the problem. He will body shame you and blame it on you, that your body is deformed. When you have questions or concerns after your surgery both him and his office manager Katrina are liars, condescending, dismissive and beyond rude. Unless you pay him another $6000 or $7000. He will not release your medical records. He absolutely does not have any artistry in him. If you are looking for a fine job he will not be able to deliver it.

I was referred by my primary care physician to this office, when I called to make and appointment-…read moreI was met by a short tempered office manager named, Tracy. She asked me financial questions first, "will you be paying this cash or insurance." I said, insurance, and then immediately, Tracy, said "we don't do that procedure for that insurance." I was confused, and I'm thinking if my insurance approved this referral surely they should take it. She was huffing and puffing and scoffing trying to ask me questions I really didn't know. I remained cool and calm, and even thanked her for her "help." I was completely disappointed that a person with such a terrible customer service could be called "manager." There was a language barrier and she was completely frustrated and rude. Perhaps, I couldn't understand what she was trying to communicate. I could understand her words (they were not that broken) but she fell short of articulating her point. I went back to my PCP office to tell them they denied seeing me and please transfer the referral to someone else they told me they were within network. So I bravely called again and I was met with a frustrated attitude saying, "ma'am, we may be in network but our surgeon does not work on that procedure." I finally understood, what I'm being referred to is not his specialty. Which is weird because on his website he does indeed have an arm portfolio. Meaning he is taking on arm lifts. Unsure if their dishonesty is due to my insurance type which is discrimination, or just them not wanting to deal with the paperwork. Tracy, if you cannot find the words, I understand, take a moment, breathe and think of the words to communicate effectively instead of being rude to a potential cash paying customer/ patient. This has left a bitter taste in my mouth, so much, that I'd steer away from ever recommending this office or Dr. Vu. The manager isn't only rude but dishonest.

Ladies, if you're thinking about going to Curved by Lipo... DO IT!…read more I've been a patient of Dr. Gandhi's since 2021, and at this point, I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with my body. My first procedure was in 2021 when I had lipo of my abdomen, love handles, and lower back along with a BBL. I loved my experience and results so much that I came back in 2023 for lipo of my abdomen, upper and lower back, and a mini tummy tuck. And most recently, this August, I went back AGAIN for chin and neck lipo. So when I say I trust Dr. Gandhi and his team, I mean it! Every surgery day has been such a good experience. Of course you're going to have some nerves when you're having a procedure done, but the staff has always made me feel comfortable and taken care of. They're great about giving you the information you need before and after surgery, so you know what to expect and how to take care of yourself during recovery. And Dr. Gandhi... I absolutely LOVE him! He is so knowledgeable and professional, but he's also very personable. He takes his time, listens, and really focuses on getting the best possible results for YOU. And I have to mention that big, bright smile! You can tell he genuinely enjoys seeing his patients. He remembers you and makes you feel known and seen instead of making you feel like you're just another body or another surgery on his schedule. That has always stood out to me. As far as my results? I'm IN LOVE. I don't regret any of my procedures, and honestly, there isn't anything I would go back and change. I've trusted this man with my stomach, back, booty, tummy AND my face/neck at this point! That alone should tell you something. Cosmetic surgery is such a personal decision, and you absolutely have to do your own research and choose the surgeon you feel comfortable with. But speaking from my own experience over the last several years, Curved by Lipo and Dr. Gandhi have earned my trust again and again. If I ever decide there's something else I want done, I already know exactly where I'm going.

Mike especially made such a difference during surgery -- he continuously brought warm packs for my hands and feet and was incredibly reassuring throughout the entire process, which helped me stay calm and relaxed.

I truly appreciate the level of care, attention, and professionalism provided and would absolutely recommend them.

They did call and leave a message that I missed but after that call, I had two text confirmations from them and called the office the morning of my appointment and talk to someone to confirm. I showed up for my appointment and they said it had been canceled and that they tried reaching out to me. They offered me no alternative solution other than to come back until I had said that I talk to someone and then all of a sudden they could get me in with someone. However, I had taken off work and after over 30 minutes of waiting past my appointment time after they had told me it would be just a few moments I had to leave. There was zero apology, and they tried to blame me and their third-party system. When I asked why the third-party system would be sending out reminder text and confirmation after they had canceled the appointment, they told me they don't actually cancel the appointment until they talk to the patient. When I asked why they would do that when there was no doctor to be seen as an alternative they just said that's the way we do it. While I will take the blame for missing the missed call at 8 AM the day before I don't understand why they wouldn't make a second attempt when the appointment was at 12:50 the next day. And furthermore, why I wouldn't have been told on the phone when I called the day of my appointment. Needless to say, I called Kaiser and ask him not to ever have to go back to the office.

I was told they would be uploaded to my Symplast portal, which never happened. Because of this delay, I was forced to undergo emergency surgery without access to my own medical records; something that should never happen and could have had serious consequences. To make matters worse, the doctor's office has continued to refuse to provide my records, which is a direct violation of California Health and Safety Code §123110. Patients have a legal right to timely access their medical information, and that right was completely disregarded in my case. I have now filed a formal complaint with the Medical Board of California. This experience has been not only frustrating but alarming. Patients deserve transparency, timely access to their records, and a standard of care that prioritizes their safety. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.
