    Dear Dr. Newman, Claudia, and the Entire Team,…read more I wanted to write and express how truly grateful I am for the wonderful care I received throughout my tummy tuck journey. Making the decision to have surgery is a very personal one, and naturally, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. From the moment I walked into your office, however, I knew I was in the right hands. Every interaction was met with kindness, encouragement, and genuine care. To Claudia and the staff, I thank you for your friendly smiles, professionalism, and the way you consistently went above and beyond. It is rare to find a team that works together so seamlessly while making every patient feel important and valued. Dr. Newman, I cannot thank you enough. Your kindness and compassion are truly remarkable. In a world where medical care can sometimes feel rushed, you took the time to listen, answer questions, and make me feel completely at ease. Your caring bedside manner is something I will never forget. I always felt that you genuinely cared about me as a person, not just as a patient. Not only am I thrilled with my results, but I am equally grateful for the experience itself. The confidence I have gained is a gift, but what stands out most is the way I was treated every step of the way--with dignity, warmth, respect, and genuine compassion. Thank you all for the incredible work you do and for creating an environment where patients feel supported, cared for, and encouraged. I feel blessed to have found your practice and will always be grateful for the kindness and expertise you showed me. With heartfelt appreciation, Suzy Moore

    There are truly no words strong enough to express the gratitude our family has for Dr. Jewell From…read morethe very first consultation through my mom's mastectomy and recovery, they showed not only exceptional surgical skill, but also genuine compassion, patience, and humanity during one of the hardest times in our lives. My mom was understandably scared and emotional, but Dr. Jewell made her feel safe, respected, informed, and cared for every step of the way. Their professionalism and confidence gave our entire family peace of mind, and the results of the surgery exceeded our expectations. The staff truly goes above and beyond. What stood out most was the kindness and empathy shown throughout the entire process. Dr. Jewell never made my mom feel like "just another patient." They treated her with dignity, warmth, and incredible attention to detail. That level of care means everything when someone is facing breast cancer and such a life-changing surgery. We are forever grateful for the strength, comfort, and outstanding medical care Dr. Jewell provided. I would recommend them to anyone looking for not only an incredibly talented plastic surgeon, but also a doctor with a truly compassionate heart.

    THANK YOU DR. KALARIA!!…read more I am beyond happy with my breast lift and augmentation results. For a long time, I felt unhappy with how my breasts looked. They were sagging and didn't have the fullness I wanted. It affected my confidence more than I realized. I avoided certain outfits and just didn't feel comfortable in my own body. Choosing to move forward with surgery was a big decision, but I'm so glad I trusted Dr. Kalaria. My results look amazing. My breasts are lifted, full, and beautifully shaped, but still natural. I feel like the best version of myself now. From the very first consultation, the entire team at Adonis made me feel comfortable and supported. Everyone was kind, professional, and patient. They answered all my questions and made the whole process feel smooth and organized. I was also worried about scarring, but everything is healing so well. The incisions are minimal and already fading nicely. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery was much easier than I expected. If you're thinking about a breast lift with augmentation, I truly recommend Dr. Kalaria. I feel confident, happy, and comfortable in my body again. I'm so grateful for the care and the beautiful results. Thank you for everything!

My skin was stretched out and my abdominal…read moremuscles had separated -- no matter how much I worked out, I just couldn't get the results I wanted. After my third baby, I finally decided it was the right time. My very first (and ended up being my only) consultation was with Dr. Jacobson, and I'm so grateful it was. I wanted someone local rather than having to drive into LA or Beverly Hills, and from the moment I walked into the office, I knew I was in the right place. The staff was incredible -- from Katie at the front desk to Nurse Vanessa -- everyone made me feel comfortable and cared for. When I met Dr. Jacobson, I was immediately impressed. Not only is he board certified, but he also performs the procedure right in his office. In addition, he has a team of staff he works with consistently. What really stood out to me was that he didn't try to upsell me on anything I didn't need. In fact, he told me my figure was already amazing, but explained clearly that my abs had separated and no amount of gym time would fix that without surgical repair. He also explained how he could remove the loose skin I had from my pregnancies, and walked me through everything in a way that made me feel informed and confident. I was nervous about looking unnatural, but my results are better than I ever could have imagined. My stomach is flat, the loose skin is gone, and I finally see the results of all the hard work I've put into my body over the years. I still have a few stretch marks, which I actually love- they remind me of the beautiful journey of carrying my babies, but now, I feel natural, confident, and truly good in my skin. I can't say enough good things about this entire team. Nurse Consuelo took such amazing care of me during surgery, and the anesthesiologist was calm, kind, and made me feel completely safe. Dr. Jacobson is truly an artist and a master of his craft. I would wholeheartedly recommend this office to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. This experience has been life-changing in the best way possible. (I was so comfortable with the whole team, I added an upper bleph at the last minute! Best decision ever!!)

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.

I was so glad that I went for Botox a couple years ago. I'm still getting Botox a few times per year. I've also gotten the Vivace microneedling a couple times. The photo I posted shows my last visit. I'm turning 48 in December and my goal is maintenance. It takes a couple weeks to see results but I just loved the brightness, the smoothness and I'm so pleased I came. Excellent results with Vivace. This visit, I had the Cool Peel laser for the first time. I was nervous because when my coworker had it, she looked like she got sunburned real bad. Well, that's the same with me but I'm so excited because I know the lines, wrinkles, coloring etc will be reduced and more even. My coworker still looks fabulous a year later. I have a few epionce boxes, the thermal spray, the arnika forte and cera ve free samples. My favorite is the thermal spray--refrigerated of course. Dr Petti is knowledgeable, friendly, professional and I'm just happy to be around her and her staff. They know what they're talking about, and I recommend going to her for sure.

She told me it would be the third time I was rescheduling. I apologized and told her I have done my best to communicate with them why I was unable to make it. Given the way she spoke to me, I asked for her name and I asked to speak to a manager to which she responded that she was the manager. She rudely asked if I wanted to reschedule again. At this point I said no because I wouldn't even feel comfortable having to interact with her in person let alone have a procedure done here. I completely understand that time had been set aside for me as a potential new patient, however the lack of customer service is unfortunate.

I had honestly given up hope that things could ever look or feel right again. Then I met Dr. Lisa Jewel, and everything changed. From our very first appointment, she truly listened to me. She understood not only what I wanted aesthetically, but what this journey had meant to me personally. Her compassion, attention to detail, and confidence immediately put me at ease - something I hadn't felt with any previous surgeon. Six months later, the results are beyond anything I could have imagined. Everything looks incredible, and more importantly, my confidence has been completely restored. I finally feel like myself again. Every single person in her office deserves praise as well - from scheduling to billing to the clinical staff, everyone treated me with kindness, patience, and genuine care.

From the beginning her office staff was very easy to communicate with and made me feel at ease. At my initial appointment Dr. Jewell listened to my concerns, did a thorough examination, and walked me through my options. Her staff worked with my insurance to provide me the best care with optimal coverage. On the day of the procedure she took her time to make markings, and that showed in the results. I had regular follow up appointments, and she worked with me to find a solution when one incision was slower in healing. Throughout the process I was continually impressed with the amount of information given to me, and how thoroughly all my questions were addressed. She gave very clear instructions regarding healing, medication, scar treatment, and what I should expect at different times during the healing. Any time I had a question the office staff was very response by both phone and email. Dr. Jewell has a calming and confident bedside manner, and it helped me feel at ease in her care. I am so satisfied with the final look of my reduction! She made sure that the final look was symmetrical (but not in a weird way), and fit my frame beautifully. I would recommend her to anyone thinking about plastic surgery, either cosmetic or reconstructive.
