    Had lipo on my arms! Amazing work done by Dr. Walker. Can't thank him enough!
    Coral H.

    Dr. John Walker is masterful. I was hesitant about doing any type of surgery until I met Dr. Walker. Not only is he an artist and perfectionist, but he's also very kind and delightful to talk to. He makes you feel like an important patient. There was never a moment that I didn't trust him. I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, DRAINLESS, bbl, lipo on my flanks, waist, back, and arms. I'm beyond grateful for the wonderful and amazing recovery I been having. I can't stress enough how amazing Dr. Walker has been in my transformation. From the moment you are at surgery he makes you feel at ease with his confidence, warmth and thoroughness. As a mommy of two small toddlers I would highly recommend Dr. Walker. The recovery was fast and painless. I was walking straight hours after surgery, I stopped taking pain medications on my 4th day, started driving on my 5th day, back to my normal activities at my second week. I had a speedy recovery with minimal bruising all due to Dr. Walker's magical and delicate hands. Dr. Walker personally takes care of you. He called me hours after my surgery, to check on me. He saw me the next day after my surgery and personally text me throughout the week in case I had any questions. When you would go see him, he greets you by your name and gives you a comforting hug. If there's anything else he can do to make you look better, he goes out of his way to do it. All his staff, Janine and Alex have been amazing and tremendously helpful. I have always been able to text Janine for any questions and she has been prompt on answering and alleviating my concerns and scheduling any immediate appointments necessary.

    Horrible breast Experience

    This doctor was the worst doctor to get surgery from after look how bad he left my moms breast .. John walker was under doctor smileys office awhile back but was let go .. We are very disappointed on how he mistreated her after telling him about how bad her breast were.. if u like I'll show u guys pictures of how bad she was .. contact me on here or ig do your research first please.....

    Thanks to Dr. Walkee...49 years old ...mother of 2 young kids

    I went to Dr. Walker for a BBL, he recommended including the BBL, I also have a full tummy tuck and some fat trasfer to the face. I was a bit surprised because, I didn't think about the face at all and I didn't think I really needed a tummy tuck but, thank God I did and thank God for Dr. Walker!!!! He is professional, caring, honest, direct and passionate about his work. I went for a second opinion in Marina del Rey, where the Dr. was more conservative and more money. He only was going to do a small tummy tuck and a little fat transfer to the buttoks. If I was going to do it, I wanted it to be worth it, so, I decided to have the surgery by Dr. Walker. I love his work, his ideas and expresses what is best for each individual. THANK YOU DR. WALKER!!! Btw I am 49 year old mother of 2 young kids

    One of the worse surgeons that I've came across with. Had one of the worse experience along with my…read morewife. We went in because for my wife wanted to get a mini tummy tuck with fat transfer to her buttocks. We were told by Dr. Kovacs that she would have a great looking butt and that she would have the butt that she wanted. Because my wife wanted to have a huge butt. So after surgery we were told by the doctor that within 2 months her buttocks would look amazing and they would be big and round. In every checkup, Dr. Kovacs kept telling my wife to eat more healthy than what she used to before. While my wife kept a strict diet, she was losing weight. When we went to another checkup, after a month after surgery Dr. Kovacs told my wife that she looked amazing from her waist and her stomach. We were so happy about that, we then asked Dr. Kovacs that why weren't my wife's buttocks looking big like we initially asked for them to be after surgery. Dr. Kovac's response was "your wife lost a lot of weight and therefore the fat that was transferred to her buttocks has gone away (disappeared). Now if you want your buttocks to be as big as you're saying, then you have to get another surgery because we have to remove more fat and then transfer it to your buttocks." But yet again, my wife's buttocks never grew. As a matter of fact, she now has less buttocks than what she had before the surgery. Because the fat that was "transferred to her buttocks" was never actually transferred to her buttocks. Dr. Kovacs inserted the fat above my wife's buttocks, because Dr. Kovacs said that the fat that was inserted above her buttocks would go down automatically within time. I was so angry specially after seeing how much my wife suffered with the recovery and how much money we would have to pay for a shitty job that was done. That's exactly what I told Dr. Kovacs. He told me that I was not going to say that in his office. I told responded, Doctor look at the job you did. Do you really think this is a great job? He responded saying yes, he thought my wife looked amazing. I told him, look at your assistant. She had the same job as my wife did and her buttocks looks exactly how my wife wanted hers to look. My wife's buttocks doesn't even look close to your assistant's. He said, if you don't like my job you can go to another doctor or you can pay for another surgery with me to make your wife's buttocks bigger; now get out of my office. Not even his personnel get any procedure done with him. They rather go to another surgeon to get any type of job done because they know how many patients are unsatisfied with his work. Dr. Kovacs left my wife's left side of the waist bigger than her right side, and he said that he did a great job and that had nothing to do with him because to his eyes, everything in my wife looked perfect. Before you get any procedure done, please stay away from this shitty ass doctor if you don't want to go through a very bad experience like we did!!! My wife got her surgery done on November 3rd, 2021. So this is very recent.

    Don't let the discounted units get you. I'm sharing this to help others understand my experience…read morewith transparency and informed consent. During my appointment, I asked multiple times for the exact number of units being administered and clearly stated limits for each area. I was never given an accurate final unit count before injections, despite asking. After the procedure, I learned that 150 units were used. This was not disclosed beforehand and was significantly higher than my previous treatments at this practice. I am also still experiencing jaw clenching, which was the primary reason for treatment. For my lip flip, my concern was my upper lip folding in. I'm still confused why units were injected into my bottom lip. I have since requested an itemized breakdown by injection site for my personal records. When pricing is unit-based, patients should be informed of exact quantities before treatment, not with a dollar amount. I hope this helps others know what questions to ask and advocate for full transparency. Please consider that this aligns with the other 1-star reviews. There seems to be a pattern of: Treatments exceeding what was explicitly consented to Unit counts disclosed only after procedures Unit-based charges without upfront unit confirmation Dismissive responses when patients asked for clarification In light of these recurring issues, it's worth noting that as of 2/6/26, Google reviews for this business are turned off.

I did some treatments there because I was told they were covered by insurance. I would ck and verify this w them more than once. Pay the deductible and afterwards everything is covered with just a copay. I did 4 treatments. In good faith I paid out of pocket due to the deductible. None of my appointments were even submitted to insurance until I noticed another service provider used my deductible. I then asked them to submit expecting to receive a big refund back at this point. They submitted, and nothing was covered. I would never ever have spent this much money if it wasn't covered by insurance. Had they submitted these claims on time I would have at least known from the beginning it wasn't covered and would have not gotten the other 3 appointments. While the amount of money lost is very disappointing and happened during a time money was tight it was also disappointing that I was the only one that cared to fix this. After two years of dealing with insurance and trying to get my money back I've given up. Not once did the business help in any way to get to the bottom of this. Unfortunately it left a bad taste in my mouth and felt scammy. If you decide to go to them NEVER pay upfront something that will be covered by insurance.

My plastic…read moresurgeon asked me if I was OK with another doctor observing my procedure and I agreed to that. The surgeon who was observing was Todd Gerlach. I happened to wake up from the anesthesia toward the end of the procedure and I remember hearing my doctor telling Todd Gerlach to stop the liposuction because I was crying out in pain. So it's obvious that Todd Gerlach was the one doing my procedure, at least in part. Todd Gerlach, my own doctor and his surgical nursing staff who were in the operating room were all highly unethical, figuring I'd never know that Dr Gerlach was using me as a guinea pig to gain experience in liposuction procedures. All these years later, one of my legs looks OK and the other looks crepey, like they took too much fat out. It was a botched procedure and even though I went back to my doctor a few times to try and correct the issue, I am still self-conscious of how loose the skin looks on that one leg. I mostly hold my doctor accountable for not being honest with me, but Todd Gerlach also had to have known I wouldn't have agreed to let someone I never even saw before operate on me. There should at least have been a consent form if his involvement had been known to me. Shortly afterwards I found out that my doctor was retiring and Todd Gerlach was the one who bought my doctor's practice.

    I'm so happy I called this place when I was doing research to find a sculpsure provider in my area…read more First off, I think it is important to address how amazing this office customer service is! From the first time I called in, the staff was exceptional at addressing all of my questions about sculpsure and setting up a convenient time for my cosmetic consult. This office really does go out of their way to make you feel like you are in Beverly Hills (but at the beach), from the courtesy reminder call leading up to your appointment to the time I walked into the office, ... They are incredibly polite and friendly and really make you feel welcomed which is very important to me! The minute I got there, I had just sat down to enjoy my fresh coffee they offer, when their sculpsure specialist, Nurse Knox, personally called me back and introduced herself! She was very detail oriented, again addressed all of my concerns (in greater detail) as I was a bit nervous and she was also very transparent when it came to the procedure and anticipated results which made me feel confident in getting my treatment at this facility. I LOVE how they take before pictures so they can track my progress. The reason why I chose to go with sculpsure is because I am terrified of the more invasive treatments out there and I love that there is NO down time which is important as I workout often and the other reason is because I still have some stubborn fat areas around my lower abdomen that I simply struggle to get rid of. The treatment was easy and I really appreciate how Nurse Knox stayed in the room the entire time to gauge my comfort level. She had music playing while I was having my procedure done... they also offer a variety of magazines, or you can just use your good ol' iphone! NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT: THE RESULTS! I came back in to do my progress pictures after 7 weeks, and I can definitely see results! I am very happy and I booked to do my muffin top and a second treatment on my lower abdomen!
