For years I had been thinking of a face and neck lift but kept putting it off afraid of a possible…read morebad outcome, the amount of downtime and possible pain and discomfort-- At best, I imagined myself swollen and bruised for weeks and needing someone to take care of me. Over the years I had a few consultations with very reputable surgeons but they didn't give me the confidence to go ahead and do it. Then a friend came from NY to have her facelift with Dr Bolitho. Upon seeing her outcome just a few days after her surgery I was sold! From the first consultation and at every meeting after, Dr Bolitho treated me with the utmost professionalism. He listened carefully, explained in great detail the entire process, answered every question and suggested doing less than I thought I needed. He exudes care and trustworthiness and as he speaks it is very obvious how much he loves what he does. The outcome of my deep plane face and neck lift was absolute perfection! The process could not have been easier. Almost no downtime at all. No pain or bruising, just a pulling sensation which went away as the stitches dissolved. Within 2 days I was off Tylenol and making my own lunch, watching movies and even did some laundry. Within two weeks I was out and about looking and feeling great. It has now been 3 months, there are no traces of having had surgery. I look rested, years younger but not obvious or pulled. I get a lot of compliments from people who can't quite figure out why I look younger and refreshed. When I choose to tell them I had a facelift, they are astonished by how natural I look. They ask to see the scars and are amazed by how hard it is to see them at all. I've lost count of how many times I have been asked to shared his contact. Dr Bolitho exceeded my highest expectations! His work is truly amazing and only matched by his bedside manner. It's obvious how much he enjoys bringing joy to his patients and how proud he is of his work ....and rightly so! His entire staff is knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend him and only wish I could give more than 5 stars.

I've been meaning to write a review for quite a while now, so here it is! Long story short, I…read morealways knew I would get a breast augmentation after graduating college. I have a curvy, athletic body, however, my breasts never matched the rest of my figure, as they were pretty much nonexistent. I had my first consolation with Dr. Kearney in 2017, and I knew right away that he would be my doctor (I had gone to 4 other consultations before him!). The consolation was very numbers focused (in regards to measurements and size), straight forward, and no-bullshit. He was honest about which sizes looked best, which type of implant would suit my body better, and overall made me feel confident in his abilities as a surgeon due to his honesty and education. His staff is AMAZING and Dr Kearney himself is extremely honest, blunt, and straight forward, which was exactly what I needed. He has this unique sense of humor that makes you feel at ease and provides that bedside manner that all patients are looking for. I scheduled my surgery shortly after my consultation. Dr Kearney was on time, polite, and reassuring with me come surgery day, making me feel comfortable and confident in my decision with him. I had decided to get 325cc implants, which I was hesitant about as I had a gut feeling that I wanted to go bigger. Fast forward to six months after my surgery (everything went well and I was healing great), I decided that I did in fact was to be larger, so I called Dr Kearney's office and scheduled another consultation for second surgery. Dr. Kearney was great and very understanding with my decision. We scheduled another surgery soon after, and agreed on 450cc's. This surgery went amazing again, and I was SO happy with the final result. He did a phenomenal job both times and was so easy to love during the process. I appreciate his honesty, confidence, and ability to make his patients feel comfortable in their decision. My advice, choose Dr. Kearney for your breast augmentation! AND, go a bit bigger than you think. You won't regret.

I went in for a consultation last week and left feeling very uncomfortable. From the start, before…read morethe consultation even began, I was asked to take photos for a simulation without being properly asked or informed, which I declined. During the consultation, I clearly explained what I was looking for. He mentioned under-the-armpit incisions, which interested me, but then quickly insisted that I would need a lift. I explained that I was extremely uncomfortable with a lift due to scarring, but my concerns were dismissed. He spoke very fast, was insistent, and both my support person and I felt lost and talked over. He told me my nipples were "turned down," which I disagreed with, and made unsolicited comments such as women not wanting to "look like a boy," that "guys don't care about scars," and that "you either have scars or you don't have bigger boobs." These comments felt inappropriate and made me feel pressured and insecure rather than supported. Overall, I felt that he did not listen to my goals or respect my boundaries. I booked this consultation specifically because of his advertised experience with endoscopic transaxillary cases and made my preferences very clear, yet I felt pushed toward a procedure I did not want. I would not trust this doctor and would recommend finding a surgeon who truly listens and has experience in the specific approach you're looking for. Additionally after the consultation, I called the office again to clarify whether it would be possible to proceed with an under-the-armpit approach without a lift, since I am comfortable with my breast shape and simply want more volume. He responded that I would "have the same breasts, just bigger," and that I would still have "the same problem." I explained that I do not see my breasts as a problem and that I like them as they are. He then told me that I should find a different doctor.

I'm a very active person and feel good about my body with the exception of these arms. I decided why be insecure if I have the money to change it. I had such a life boost after a rhinoplasty, so now I'm all about buying a little confidence. We only have one life y'all!! Booked my appointment right after the consultation because I felt like they were realistic and honest with me about the results I could expect given my anatomy. I am only 6 weeks post op from my arm lipo + skin tightening, but I wanted to share my experience so far because it's been great. The entire staff has been super friendly and welcoming. The procedure itself went smoothly. I did it under local and was nervous, but it was seriously not bad at all. While I'm still dealing with some minor swelling since it takes 3 months to fully see results (which they prepared me for), I can already see the shape taking form hehehe. I have been wearing my compression garments religiously and getting the drainage massages twice per week. Recovery has been manageable, and anytime I've had a question, the staff has been quick to respond. Even though I'm not fully healed, I already feel confident saying I'd recommend. I'm super excited for my final results. I've actually already recommended this place to my mom who also hates her arms too lol. If you're already considering this place, just do it!

I'm writing this review after visiting four different surgeons across multiple health systems,…read moregeographic areas, and genders as I researched options for breast reconstruction following cancer treatment. This was, unfortunately, the only negative experience I had. Scheduling the initial consultation was difficult -- it took weeks, multiple phone calls, and several portal messages just to get on the calendar. For anyone going through a cancer diagnosis, you know how critical timing is -- and how emotionally exhausting it is to wait for care or answers. When I finally met Dr. Reid, I expected an open, collaborative conversation. Instead, most of the time was spent listening to him discuss his publications and accomplishments. I respect medical expertise deeply, but what I needed was empathy, support, and someone who would listen to my concerns and goals. Even more troubling were the casual and insensitive references to my anatomy. This kind of language is jarring and inappropriate when you're sitting in a vulnerable position, talking about reconstructing your body after cancer. To other patients: Please know you have options. I strongly recommend exploring consultations both in and outside of San Diego. There are providers out there who combine clinical excellence with compassion -- and truly listen.
