Dr. Bates is an incredibly skilled and humble surgeon. After interviewing several surgeons locally…read moreand out of state, he was the only one who truly listened and ultimately delivered on all my requests. He's approachable, easy to talk to, and his work speaks for itself. In a single day, he performed a lower blepharoplasty, fat grafting to the face, chin liposuction, and a breast lift with a small reduction. Natural, tasteful results are totally possible for younger patients like me approaching 40. The combination of procedures complemented each other beautifully, giving me a refreshed, balanced look without anyone being able to pinpoint exactly why. Every post-op appointment felt smooth, and all my questions and concerns were addressed, which put me at ease. If you want refined, natural results and a surgeon who truly cares about delivering on your goals, Dr. Bates is the one to trust. Make suer to ask him to show my before-and-after results in the office. His fees are also very reasonable for the Bay Area.

On February 26, I had my first plastic surgery (rhinoplasty) and my experience with Dr. Bates was…read morenothing short of outstanding. Dr. Bates is incredibly skilled and a master in his craft. He genuinely cares about his patients and with that, gave me the upmost confidence in him being my surgeon. At my consultation, I expressed to Dr. Bates the concerns I had regarding my nose: hump, frontal drooping of my nose, etc. He also noted changes that would compliment those adjustments, creating a symmetrical and natural canvas. What I respect the most is while he strives to achieve the patient's goal, he's realistic - he provides his professional opinion and feedback based on what suits your facial structure. It's a personalized experience and the morphs he created were spot on. At my pre-op appointment, he thoroughly went through what to expect on surgery day and recovery. He was clear, answered all my questions, and I never felt rushed. On the day of surgery, Dr. Bates made his presence known, making me feel at ease and reassuring me that everything will go well. Recovery was another defining experience as to why I knew Dr. Bates was the right choice. My swelling and bruising was minimal and manageable, which tells me he has a light and careful hand in surgery. What's even more surprising is that at my splint removal appointment today, I look identical to my morphs, which was refreshing considering many people have told me that they didn't with their surgeons. All in all, I can't recommend Dr. Bates enough.

I really appreciate Dr. Shaheen & staff they have all been great! I'm excited cause now I have someone to keep my legs looking vein free.

Absolutely unacceptable level of communication. I had a procedure scheduled and was never contacted…read moreto let me know the practice was closing or that my appointment had been canceled. The only reason I found out was because I called the day before to confirm. What makes this even more frustrating is that when I previously missed an appointment, I immediately took responsibility and offered to pay any fees associated with the missed visit out of respect for the practice's time. Yet when the practice decided to close and cancel patient appointments, I received no notification whatsoever. Had I not called, I would have driven over an hour to the office, sat through traffic, rearranged my schedule, and shown up for an appointment that was never going to happen. Patients deserve the same courtesy and respect that they are expected to show their providers. I understand that businesses close, but failing to notify patients with scheduled procedures is highly unprofessional. After multiple visits and treatments at this office, I expected far better communication. Very disappointing experience.

Very disappointed with both the bedside manner and the outcome of my treatment. Dr. Mittelman had…read moreperformed this treatment on me twice before, and I had previously been happy with both the experience and the results, which made this experience especially surprising. This appointment was hurried and chaotic (I heard him tell his assistant to take off my numbing cream because he had an appointment to get to), without the cooling support measures I had received during prior treatments, which made an already painful procedure more stressful. I am still hoping there will not be any lasting skin damage or scarring. Recovery has been far more difficult than anticipated (one month out and still significant streaking and redness), and I ultimately sought two outside opinions and continued care with another doctor. In my experience, the approach and communication style felt somewhat outdated compared to other providers I've seen.

I scheduled a few consultations, but after my first with Dr. Lusby I knew I had found my surgeon. She and her office staff were incredibly helpful and responsive. Dr. Lusby took her time to educate me about my options, and I never once felt pressured to do more than what was required to achieve my goals. Her willingness to go into detail and take the time to really understand what I was looking for made me feel comfortable immediately and her prices were very reasonable. She also referred me to Post Op Therapy for lymphatic drainage and scar tissue therapy which ensured I had an optimal and speedy recovery from the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Lusby and would not hesitate to seek her services if needed in the future.

Megan, his scheduling assistant, was able to schedule a surgery just nine days from then. The surgery was done on October 2nd at an outpatient surgery center in Fremont.

Everything looks so natural, just a better version of myself, exactly what I was hoping for. I had a few consultations with other surgeons before, but after meeting Dr. Maan, I didn't feel the need to keep looking. I just knew he was the right choice for me. The whole experience felt really personal. Dr. Maan and his team made me feel comfortable from the start, and that didn't stop after the surgery. He checked in with me himself and was always available if I had questions, which meant a lot. It never felt like I was just another patient. Thank you Dr. Maan, for giving me a second look, a natural, more confident version of myself. I'm so grateful for the care and attention you gave me throughout this process. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends and family, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I ever needed anything in the future.
