Dr. Miranda's office manager answered every question and concern I had about transparency and billing. She made it exceptionally clear (through words and actions) that they truly care about their patients - our satisfaction and outcomes. It's very unique that anyone (from specialist to PCP to aesthetics) will advocate for scar revision/reconstruction with patients' insurance, but this office goes the extra mile to do so. Additionally, as a result of professional and person experiences, I know a great deal of plastic surgeons and aesthetic providers (all over CA) and could probably write the most comprehensive list of whom to see (and not see) for what. Out of everyone I've encountered over the last 20+ years, Dr. Miranda offered the most detailed, thoughtful, and informed consultation I could have asked for (this was regarding scar revision post-SRT for skin cancer). I am deeply impressed and could not recommend this practice more. Most surgeons will simply state "there's nothing that can be done" (meaning neither of the two treatments they offer will work) vs Dr. Miranda who will happily address questions about every potential treatment you and he can conjure up (even if he doesn't offer them all). My case is quite complex but he didn't shy away from discussing it at length. I'm impressed by his experience/expertise and how generous he was with his time. I highly recommend working Dr. Miranda and team. Thank you for such informed and compassionate care.

Dr Shinkai was respectful to my indigenous beliefs that prefer preventative care and has been providing me information vital in understanding the underlying problems to my concerns. We have discussed about intestinal health, microbes and instead of oppressing the symptoms, she has prescribed 15 min max sun bathing 3 times a week (instead of ultraviolet B treatment, I didn't want to go to the Photo therapy so many times a week), 8 strains of probiotics, she suggested to reduce stress, and to change my soap and shampoo to no fragrances. My allergies are gone. We will see how my pimples along my jaw and ear would disappear. We shall see. Punctual, great listener, culturally competent, explains in detail, doesn't rush the session, calm, kind, gentle, and considerate. She writes prescriptions swiftly. She is conveniently located 1701 Divisadero St where small quality restaurants are lined up. She has a magnificent nurse, Japanese hapa, Cara Iwanaga, who is attentive, precise, accomodating, zealous, and willing. Cara enlarged the documents so that I can read them. They have a large clinical room large enough for people like myself who is claustrophobic. Their front desk is joyful, hospitable, infomative, with pleasant communication skills. I wished every wellness appointments were as delightful as it is with them. They have a great team.

Like Soul Surfer, a few years back I fell out of the system and was considered a new patient and unable to get an appointment. I saw one of the other doctors (who was just fine) got back in the system and was able to see Dr. Shinkai again. That protocol is UCSF policy not the doctor's. It's extremely unfair and ignorant to rate a healthcare provider personally because one had a problem with insurance, billing, a receptionist, etc. I'm also a healthcare professional and have developed a lovely rash on my face from my mask. I had to go to an in-person appointment to see Dr. Shinkai. Due to the extreme caution the practice takes regarding distancing and allowing minimal patients into the very large waiting room, I was comfortable being there. I was given a prescription for an ointment that my insurance wasn't going to cover. Dr. Shinkai wrote to Blue Shield and they ultimately covered it. Dr. Shinkai PERSONALLY kept in touch with me via UCSF My Chart during the process.

But since I liked what I saw and heard from Dr. Ellis' YT channel, I thought it was worth the drive to come here. I saw Dr. Ellis for the initial consult but since they've made her a partner at the practice, all my treatments were performed by a nurse. And I love my nurse, her name is Emily, she seems competent and friendly and funny. What's not cool about this place is: 1) The pricing 2) The front desk The pricing is much higher than other cosmetic practices in the Bay Area, incl in SF where I used to and still get some treatments done. To compensate for this, you'll need to buy a package, just to make the pricing comparable to other places where you could buy as a single treatment. The front desk seems to be employing a gestapo approach to customer service. So I made a mistake in my calendar with the start time, so I ended up arriving 1 hour earlier than the 2:30p appointment time that they texted me. I arrived and I told them I had a 1:30p appointment, but was informed that my appointment was actually 3:30p, with a 2:30p start time just going into a room waiting while getting my face numbed. I told them it seems that I've made a mistake but I do have a full day ahead of me and I live all the way in SF so I wanted to see if they could please let my nurse know that I'm there early. I was asking them for an accommodation for a mistake that I clearly owned. They wouldn't talk to Nurse Emily. They told me Emily is all booked with not a 5 min to spare. I told them that's fine, if they could please maybe leave her a little note letting her know of my situation. Loren at Front Desk initally told me yes they would tell Emily when she's out with a patient to the cashier at front desk, but within minutes, she had told her manager in the office and her manager came out to tell me there's nothing they could do. They wouldn't let Emily know! They also told me they absolutely have no spare room to put me in. But when I was finally admitted to my treatment room, I saw a ROW of empty rooms. Bravo!

Six months ago, I had a neck lift performed by Dr. Hendrick at Elite MD, and I couldn't be happier…read morewith the results. This was a procedure I had been considering for almost 15 years. I had several consultations over the years, including with other plastic surgeons in the area, but I found it very difficult to make a decision because I was afraid my face would look too different. My goal was never to look like someone else--I simply wanted a refreshed, improved version of myself while maintaining my natural appearance. After much thought, I chose Elite MD, and I am so glad I did. Throughout the process, Dr. Bansal, the owner of Elite MD, took the time to answer my questions during consultations and helped me feel comfortable with my decision. Dr. Hendrick performed my surgery and did an excellent job. Six months later, my results look very natural, exactly what I was hoping for. One of the things I appreciate most about my results is how natural they look. Friends and family have commented that I look refreshed and well-rested, but no one has been able to tell that I had surgery unless I chose to tell them. That was exactly the outcome I was hoping for--a more youthful appearance while still looking like myself. I would also like to recognize Morgan and Tony, who were incredibly helpful, kind, and supportive throughout the entire experience. Everyone at Elite MD was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about my comfort and satisfaction. If you have been hesitant about cosmetic surgery because you want natural-looking results, I highly recommend Elite MD. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

I've always been hesitant to visit any cosmetic or plastic surgery clinic to consult on some of my…read morebiggest concern areas. I was always worried that they would only care about getting me to have as much work done as possible, without truly caring about my outcome or recovery, as long as they were able to bill as much as possible. I was also worried that I would need a brachioplasty (arm lift) due to the scarring it may leave behind, especially given that I have melanated skin. From the moment I walked through the doors at Elite MD, I was greeted with such a refreshing attitude. They listened to my concerns, honored what I actually wanted to have done, and never once tried to push additional procedures I wasn't inquiring about. In April, I underwent arm liposuction, and the experience, from the procedure itself all the way through my healing journey up to this point, has exceeded every expectation I had. Dr. Vivek Bansal and PA-C Tony Ho were exceptional throughout the procedure. The surgery was performed under local anesthesia, and even as I drifted in and out of sleep, I never once felt alone or afraid. The team checked in on me consistently throughout, offering reassurance and making sure I was comfortable at every moment. Despite working on my arms, they made sure to handle and reposition me with such gentleness and care that I always felt I was in safe hands. What also stood out to me was their refreshing honesty from the very beginning. Before I ever committed to anything, they sat down with me and were completely transparent: one-third of my results would be in their hands, one-third would come down to my genetics, and one-third would simply be unknown. They were equally candid about aligning my expectations with what they realistically anticipated my outcome to be, so that I was never caught off guard at any stage. That kind of integrity is rare, and it immediately put me at ease. The care didn't stop after the procedure. Roxana Danelson, my massage therapist, was an absolute gem throughout my recovery. Her lymphatic drainage massage sessions were incredibly supportive of the healing process, and she consistently provided personalized recommendations for what I could do between appointments to achieve the best possible outcome. Dr. Bansal and PA-C Tony Ho have also continued to check in on me regularly to monitor my progress and provide nutritional guidance, making sure that not only the healing of my arms was going smoothly, but so was this journey toward a healthier me. From the start, Dr. Bansal was upfront that even with Awake VASER® Liposuction and Renuvion® J-Plasma, a small brachioplasty might still be needed to fully achieve my goal, but that they would do everything in their power to get me as close as possible with this procedure. I am still in the early stages of my healing journey, and yet to say I am in awe of how my arms have already begun to transform is an understatement. I am incredibly excited for what is still to come as I continue to heal and progress. What truly sets Elite MD apart, though, is the heart behind everything they do. The warmth and kindness you feel from every single person there isn't a performance, it's genuine. They have cultivated an environment where you feel seen, heard, and truly cared for. Over the course of my treatment and recovery, they have continued to cheer me on and be openly honest with me the way only family can be. If you are considering any cosmetic procedure and want a team that will be honest with you, invest in your outcome, and walk alongside you through every step of your journey, I cannot recommend Elite MD enough. They truly are the greatest team one could possibly hope to be cared for by.
