As a registered nurse who has worked with many physicians, I'm very selective about the providers I trust. Dr. Lawton Tang's age reversal program has exceeded every expectation. His approach is truly different and customized to your unique biomarkers and lifestyle, not a one size fits all plan. Through this program, my biomarkers have shifted to reflect someone in their late 20s, even though I'm in my late 30s. The results have been remarkable. I've lost weight, my anxiety has decreased significantly, and my sleep quality has improved in ways I didn't think were possible. My skin feels tighter, clearer, and I've noticed a youthful glow returning. Dr. Tang takes the time to educate and guide you through each step, you truly understand what's happening with your body. He has a true talent in connecting with people, adapting treatments so you can live your life and still see results. His compassion and expertise make him a true gem for the clients he serves. I highly recommend Dr. Tang and his age reversal program to anyone serious about restoring health and vitality from the inside out. I can't thank him enough. Tang, you're the best!!! read more

I suffered a broken nose due to tripping on a cracked sidewalk on South Pasadena. Huntington Hospital suggested Dr. Laksman as a plastic surgeon that could reset my nose. I understand he specializes in hands and wrists but I'm very happy to have had him as my nose surgeon. My son was able to get an appointment with his office within a day after being released from the hospital. He assessed the break and said he could perform surgery (mainly moving the nose back into piace) and then applying a "cast" for a week. He did that and removed the cast today. Although it's still tender, my "nose job" is done and together with nose exercises five times a day hope it stays this way, I'm good to go. No more trips/falls for me. Dr. Laksman is very professional and knowledgeable and his staff friendly and courteous. I'd give him Ten stars if I could even though five stars is max! read more

I am writing to express my immense satisfaction with the results of my upper blepharoplasty with Dr. Tang. The outcome is truly excellent; I am very pleased with the natural-looking improvement in the appearance of my eyes, which has left me feeling much more refreshed. The recovery process was smooth, and the care I received from him and his team throughout was exceptional. As a National Allergan Trainer in the Aesthetic industry, I am very particular about the surgeons I choose, and I can confidently say that Dr. Tang is amazing. I highly recommend you to all my friends and family. read more

I had been dealing with a persistent cough and cold that just wouldn't improve, and I'm so grateful for Dr. Lawton Tang. From the very first time he called and checked my condition, he was very attentive, patient, and truly listened to my concerns. The treatment plan was clear and effective, and the prescibed medications really worked for me. I noticed a significant improvement in my condition soon after. I finally feel like myself again. Thank you, Dr. Tang for your care, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Highly recommended doctor. read more

Fantastic surgeon. Highly recommend based on his skill, experience and willingness to listen and be patient. One of the best for sure.

Dr. Tang was recommended to me from a friend who used to work with him 10yrs prior. I sought an expert to remove a lump that appeared over my right temple. Dr. Tang's skill and steady hands allowed him to expertly remove the lipoma without complications. It was immediately sent to pathology for analysis. Thankfully it came back benign. From early consultation to day of operation, Dr. Tang and his staff were calm, cool and collected. He checked in periodically post op to ensure I was healing as scheduled. I was grateful for his sense of humor and calming bedside manner. Marie and his staff made sure I was well taken care of from start to finish. I will happily recommend Dr. Tang and his crew for their bedside manner, expertise and skill. read more

March 2, 2019 I was walking on the treadmill in my garage. I opened the garage door half way to smell the rain. I tied up my 2 year old Pit Bull because she is a runner and left my 14 year old Boxer loose because it's hard for her to even get up anymore. Well someone walked by with their dog and my Boxer decided to charge them. She wouldn't have done anything but startle the owner and that is exactly what she did because I wasn't able to catch her before the garage door slammed me to the ground. I didn't duck low enough and the metal part on the bottom of the garage door sliced my forehead open to the skull. When Dr. Tang arrived to the emergency room his presence brought me peace even under the traumatic circumstances I was in. He looked at my head and simply told me I was going to be okay. He verbally walked me through the whole experience as I physically went through the process. After listening to his advice of not getting the bandage wet or removing it even while I was on vacation in Cancun, I am surprised with my healing progress in just two weeks and super grateful for his magical hands and mind that God has blessed him with. He also has the ability to connect and brought humor to my experience which was greatly appreciated. read more

Dr Tang operated on my index finder, which suffered an unexpected interaction with a table saw. The tendon and nerves were severed. Dr Tang operated in the ER and repaired the damage.

My mother had a double eyelid surgery on 12/22/2022 at Lawton W Tang Clinic 125 N. Raymond Ave. Pasadena ca 91103. 26 days after the operation, my mother's eyes appeared obvious large and small eyes, and the two eyes were asymmetrical. And had very deep eye sockets, so we did a second repair in his clinic on 1/18/2023, after the operation, there were two scars on the eyes, scar hyperplasia, nerve problems in the eyes, and then my mother on 2/8 In 2023, the third repair was done, and there was an obvious gap in the closed eyes. We went to Lawton Tang, and he injected a transparent liquid into my mother. This is the previous photo of my mother and Lawton Tang made eyes for my mother. Comparison chart of photos. Now my mother's eyes have been disfigured, and she sheds tears every day, and has mental depression, and takes antidepressant medicine every day. On 2/15, we went to Lawton Tang's clinic to defend our rights. Lawton Tang told us that before our operation, he signed a lot of exemptions and called the police to drive us away. As a patient, we just hope that the doctor can be responsible for us, but the doctor uses legal means to escape. Responsibility makes people very angry! I hope all beauty lovers choose a doctor carefully. The doctor's medical skills are very poor, and when they operated on my mother, they kept chatting, laughing, and were not serious. read more

I am filled with immeasurable blessings to be under the care of Dr Tang! Recently, i experienced a rare one-to-million chance of vascular occlusion during our dermal filler training. Dr. Tang, being our Medical Director, was called and notified. With urgency and passion for his work, he immediately came to my assistance. I'm so amazed at how dedicated he is to be on top of every care he renders to his patients. Amidst his busy schedule, he made it a point to check on me everyday. He is a one-of-a-kind doctor that when you text or call, is always quick to respond, always on time, making sure all your concerns are answered. Very ptient, caring, and comforting. I felt a great relief being under his care throughout the course of my journey to healing. Dr Tang is so precise in his management of care, with a well-equipped knowledge and proven expertise. I'm seeing good results everyday. My recovery went by faster than I could have ever thought. With daily follow ups, plus clinic visits with a caring physician, and a pleasant Assistant, Marie, what else could I ever ask for?

Above all, I thank God for this blessing to know you! God bless your beautiful soul, Dr Tang! read more

De. Tang doesn't listen to his patients. I had a breast implant replacement. When my husband and I went to meet him I told him I want to go up a size bigger on my breast, I used the words big and fake. After surgery I still wear the same bra size as I did before my surgery my breast look the same as before, saggy and small. I would not recommend him to anyone. read more

I LOVE HIM. THE one and only male doctor I have... He is a perfectionist and an all-around human great guy who spends all the time you need to get all concerns addressed. read more

Dr. Tang is a 5 star surgeon. I was an A cup all my life and hesitant to do breast augmentation but once I met Dr. Tang, I was sold! It's been six months since my surgery and I have never been happier. I still keep in touch with the clinic as I go back for follow ups. I have referred a few of my friends to Dr Tang already and everyone is so happy. If you have any questions about the process, please let me know. I will gladly answer them for you. Here is a photo of me taken on last Friday. They look very natural and I always feel Sexy! Thank you so much Dr Tang! read more

Dr. Lawton and his staff have been great. Works in Pasadena and West Covina ( visited both and has other locations) Marie helps you set up an appointment that works for you and she communicates well. I went in clueless about my condition. A scar/keloid in my ear from an injury. It grew for 5 years and I couldn't hide it anymore. It was affecting my life. I looked up for surgeons around the area. Reached out to Lawton personally and allowed me to see him as soon as I could. Things I've learned very fast about him is his honesty towards your situation. He wouldn't do anything that he doesn't feel it won't work/or safe. He explains the possible outcomes of either methods ....that may or not work to treat/fix anything. I would recommend him to anyone who's looking for a great surgeon. Check out his website. Get in touch with his offices.... talk to him...see him in person and talk about possible procedures you're interested in..anything and can assure you he will guide you to take the right decision. Anyway my keloid has been shrinking and I'm barely on my second treatment. I'll continue to see him.. thanks DOC.... read more

Lawton W Tang, MD - 2nd day of Pico treatment, skin looks more clean and even. - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Pasadena, California

Dr. Tang is very professional and knowledgeable, a super friendly cosmetic surgeon. Best in LA!

Dr. Tang has magic hands! I was bitten on my face by a Doberman and had several lacerations. Dr. Tang did my sutures in the ER almost 2 weeks ago - 2 of the hardest weeks of my life. He told me not to get my bandages wet, but that was not easy when the only thing that was consistent for those 2 weeks were my tears. I hadn't seen my face without bandages until this morning at my follow up appointment. I am amazed. It's almost invisible where he sewed me back together. Although I have a few months ahead of me with bandages to prevent scarring, this is the best news I could have received. He takes pride in his work, is knowledgeable and down to earth, and he truly cares about his patients. I can't thank him enough for putting my mind at ease and allowing me to emotionally heal from this trauma without worrying about the physical scars. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Dr. Lawton Tang is a fantastic plastic surgeon ,the best surgeon in LA, he did a amazing job on my breast augmentation, I love the result! Dr, Tang is so knowledgeable, passionate about what he does and answered any questions that I had, I highly recommend Dr. Tang! Thank you Dr. Tang read more

I did a lot of consultations here in LA and also consulted three plastic surgeons in Taiwan regarding my tummy tuck. Eventually I choose Dr Lawton Tang to do my tummy tuck. He is very knowledgeable and patient with me and my husband. He used the simplest way to explain and answered all our questions. After the surgery, he took time to check on my recovery progress at home and made sure I was taking my medication. I am very happy with the results. The result was better than I thought! I will definitely recommend Dr Lawton Tang to my friends and family. read more

I went to Dr Tang this week for Botox and fillers and am super HAPPY with the results! He took his time evaluating my needs and administered the treatment with surgical precision. Dr Tang also performed my tummy tuck with muscle repair back in 2016 and I have been super happy with the results for over 3 years now! Thank you Dr Tang! read more

Dr. Tang deserves 5 stars as we seen him for a consultation and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. However, the 1 star is for his staff. We were given a quote 20 days ago and today when my husband called to schedule the appointment they raised the price by 20% stating, "The price on the quote given was promotional." When my husband asked what the promotion was for the woman by the name of Eva didn't even know. When we were given the estimate the day of the consultation, Marie who is Dr Tang's assistant specifically said, "When you are ready give us a call and we can make the payment over the phone and will schedule you." Never once did the Dr or Marie mention about a promotional price or an expiration of the quote, nor did they say it had to be paid that same day to receive that price. Marie and Dr Tang were very nice which is why we decided to give them a call to schedule the appointment but not anymore with the dishonest approach by the new staff. read more

I had a breast augmentation with a famous doctor in Orange County 6 years ago (Dr. Nguyen). He did a terrible job- One of my breasts were larger than the other, one nipple was slightly higher than the other and worst of all, my left breast implant actually fell into my armpit whenever I laid down. I hated them for years and wouldn't let anyone touch them especially because you could both see and feel the implants. I've heard of Dr. Tang and finally scheduled to see him in June. I had a consult with him and immediately noticed a difference in the amount of professionalism and care I was provided compared with other plastic surgeons I've gone to. He really took the time to answer all of my questions and make me feel comfortable. He also measured me which surprisingly my other breast aug surgeon didn't bother to do which I guess is why they weren't even. The days before surgery, I got calls from him, his assistant Marie and the anesthesiologist. I felt very cared for! I've seen multiple doctors for different procedures and never experienced such a high level of care prior to this. On the day of surgery, I flew in and went directly from the airport to his surgery center. Afterwards, I took a short nap and woke up feeling a little drowsy but great! It was not painful at all. By the next day, I was walking around and didn't even need my pain meds. There was hardly any bruising and my breasts and they already looked great. Dr. Tang made them larger, lifted one breast, fixed the pocket so that my implant would no longer fall into my armpit and also created cleavage for me since I had none even after my first boob job. They look AMAZING!!!! They feel like real breasts! You can't tell that there's an implant in them at all. I LOVE them and have received so many compliments on them. Everyone keeps asking where I got them done. What is amazing is that I always thought a breast augmentation would just give you a larger version of what you already have. This is true with most plastic surgeons... but a talented surgeon like Dr. Tang can actually reconstruct your breasts to not only make them larger but better looking than they were before. I always had to use a pushup bra to achieve cleavage even after my first breast aug.... now they are lifted higher so there perkier and are also closer together- the cleavage is always there - I never have to wear another push up bra ever again! Also- gummy bear implants don't need to be changed every 10 years, which is awesome. Thank you so much Dr. Tang. I love them. My only regret is that I didn't go bigger haha. read more

Dr. Tang is simply amazing. Although he is a plastic surgeon, I had a hand infection that was getting worse day by day with immense pain and discomfort. I went to two other doctors and they could not figure out what was wrong despite all the testing I went through. I was finally referred to Dr. Tang and after my first appointment with him, he quickly had me admitted to a hospital. I was afraid that my infection would require surgery, but Dr. Tang assured me that he would do everything in his power to ensure that surgery would be avoided. Under his care, he made sure that I was provided antibiotics at the hospital and he monitored my progress. I improved each day and was very happy that I didn't have to have any type of surgery on my hand. I'm very happy that he helped with my diagnosis and care because I really didn't have anyone else to turn to. Dr. Tang is a not only a great plastic surgeon, but first and foremost, he's a great doctor. I'm extremely thankful for all the help he has provided me! read more

I had my breast augmentation done 2 months ago with Dr. Tang. I've never heard of him until my friend told me he was a good doctor in the Pasadena area. I live in San Francisco so going down south to get my procedure is something I have to carefully consider as there is additional cost involved since I am not home. The first time I met with Dr Tang, I also met with Marie his wonderful assistant. The initial meeting was about 1 hour and he explained all the options there is possible for this procedure. After our meeting, I was ready to hire Dr Tang as my plastic surgeon. I almost wanted to do it right then and there so I didn't need to fly back to SF! I am not going to lie, this procedure was painful the first day during the healing process, but in the end it is very very very worth it. I did not get a lot of "paperwork" to take home so I did a lot of research on my own. The good thing about Dr. Tang is that he you get his personal cell phone so that you can call him or text him at any time if you feel a sense of urgency to speak with him. Now it's been 2 months and I am very happy with my new breasts. I used to be a small A and now I am a full B, perhaps even a small C depending on what bra. If you need any additional information or questions about Dr Tang, feel free to message me here and I will respond to you directly. After waiting 10 plus years to do this surgery, I am very happy I got it done with Dr Tang. He is experienced, knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients for the best results!! read more

After having my first baby, I lost tons of volume in my breasts, and they completely lost any perkiness they had after breastfeeding. After years of wanting a breast augmentation, I finally made an appointment with Dr. Tang for a consultation. I knew after meeting him and his assistant, Marie, that he was going to be my PS. He took an hour with me during my first apt. and answered all my questions plus more! He was very knowledgable with great bed side manner. MaRie sent me a quote for both a lift (needed), and the breast augmentation within hours after my apt. I made my apt for the next month! The first surgery, lift, went well and I was happy with the results. The second surgery, augmentation, was just as amazing! I ended up with 450 cc implants, and they look so natural! I am 4 months post op from the second surgery, and I am healing amazing! Dr Tangs staff called and followed up after surgery. During the time of my surgery, everyone was so personable and friendly. I felt very safe in their care! I have already referred a few friends. He works magic! He takes time with his patients, and truly cares about their needs and wants, not the money. If your considering a breast augmentation go to Dr Tang! read more

I am a national TV sports broadcaster. Dr Tang saved my face and ultimately my career! I was thrown off a racehorse and whilst on the ground the horse stepped on my face. I broke my jaw on impact and the horse's shoe lacerated my face on my jawline. The cut was so deep it severed 2 facial nerves below my bottom lip rendering that area of my face paralyzed. Under anaesthetic, during a 3 hour surgery, Dr Tang was able to re-align and re-connect the severed nerves and stich up the laceration. He was very specific about post surgery care to my facial scar. Thanks to his brilliant work as a surgeon and advice on aftercare, I have the very faintest of scars on my jawline and my facial movement is back to 100%. I have returned to work, broadcasting on live TV with the same confidence! I would highly recommend Dr Tang as a plastic surgeon. read more

I feel so much more confident now!!! read more

Lawton W Tang, MD - Perfect!!! - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Pasadena, California

This was actually my first time getting plastic surgery and I'm sure glad I chose Dr. Tang. After reading all the positive reviews about him, I decided to give him a chance and I'm sure glad I did. He explained everything in detail during my consultation and assured me that I would be taken care of. I came in for a double eyelid surgery (only my right eye because my left eye already had the fold). He explained to me how some of my muscle strand fibers in my right eye were still connected. He did not break or remove them but worked around them in order to achieve my desired result. I am very pleased with the final outcome of my surgery and if you are still looking for a plastic surgeon, look no further! Dr. Tang is the obvious choice!!! I had a 5/5 star experience! read more

This is a long overdue review. I have been going to Dr. Tang since 2013. Dr. Tang and his assistant, Marie are amazing! I felt comfortable from the first time I went in for a consultation. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He always takes time to explain the details of a procedure. I did a lot of research before choosing Dr. Tang to work on my laceration and am satisfied with my results. He has also helped me get a second opinion for workers compensation regarding botox from a different doctor which resulted in complete paralysis in half of my face. His opinion saved me from having permanent damage. I would highly recommend him to others. read more

Dr. Tang did a great job on my under eye lid surgery. He started me with a chemical peel a week before the procedure. When it was time with for the procedure, Dr. Tang went over all the steps one by one in detail and also informed me about recovery time and any complications that could have occurred. It has been a month and the results have been great. What is best about all this is that Dr. Tang follows up with me at least once a week to see how my recovery is coming along. Thank you Dr. Tang. Would recommend definitely! read more

Dr Tang is a great guy first and foremost. I would not hesitate to take any family member to him if ever needed. He did a great job fixing my deviated septum and now I can sleep and breath better. read more

Had procedure done by DR Tang. Very satisfied with result. Been to both of his office, all the staff members are warm and welcome. They created a very comfortable environment for patients. Dr Tang is very skillful and professional, care about patient's needs and well been. Able to reach him easily even after business hours with concerns and questions. Able to range FaceTime follow up appointment with him when I not able to physically show up in his office. He is the doctor that I will keep in my list if I wish anything else need to be done in the future. Wish my personal experience able to help you guys to make decision! read more

A few (hopefully not many) licensed professionals will 'sell' their licenses, allowing unethical, shoddy businesses to dupe people into believing they are entrusting themselves and their money to a 'medical' facility; Dr. Tang is the front puppet for Midas Medical Group and this place is the furthest place from being medically inclined or trained! Group of Korean ladies that speak approximately 3 words of English and lack training in every aspect-business, medical, ethics, speech, professionalism, courtesy-have none of it. Went in for Bellafill and after paying (and informed of the no refund policy), learned that the receptionist would be performing the procedure and no medical professional would be present?! Procedure was horribly painful especially on my left cheek-no care whatsoever was spoken of before, during, and after-went home and pain increased. Took Advil PM and awoke to left eye swollen almost completely shut, veins on my left cheek protruding, black and blue and swollen with limited movement. Went to work amidst looks of shock and was encouraged to see my doctor right away and during the visit, my doctor confirmed the receptionist at Midas had struck a nerve! Called her as soon as I returned and in lieu of expressing an ounce of concern, questioned my doctor's experiences and in lieu of asking that a picture of my face be sent, insisted that I send pictures of prescribed medications (is she a doctor or is she more knowledgeable than a doctor or does she doubt me or my doctor?). Spoke to the office manager as well (aka-dragon lady) and she was the epitome of unprofessionalism, uneducated vulgarity in speech as well as mannerism! When I asked why a medical professional had not been present, she yelled in a shrill like tone that Dr. Tang would see me now. To make matters worse, I called from my office, did not realize that they had recording device and they continously called to my work introducing themselves as Midas Medical(if I wanted to be contacted at my place of employment, I would have provided the number on my forms). Horrible horrible experience- Dr. Tang, extra money but at what price? read more

My husband and I are so thankful to Dr. Lawton Tang for saving my husbands thumb. My husband nearly amputated his thumb and during the emergency visit to the hospital, they suggested a plastic surgeon, Dr. Tang stepped up. At the time we thought his thumb would be an amputation. To our suprise Dr. Tang saved his thumb. He has progressed really well, moving, gaining feeling, and very little pain. I would without doubts trust Dr. Tang with any needed surgery. I give him a 5.6 read more

Good doctor and make you feel at home like he's known you forever. Highly recommended

Dr. Tang is the man!!! He's very knowledgeable to the point he answered all my questions without me even having to ask. He professional and has a good sense of humor without making things awkward. I had my breast augmentation six months ago and they had set so well... I love them!!! read more

It is less often nowadays that you'll meet a truly knowledgeable and genuine plastic surgeon that actually cares about his/her patient, especially in LA area. I feel that Dr Tang checks all the boxes and makes you feel very comfortable about the procedure and the process bc obviously one of my biggest concerns was the post-op recovery but he didn't sugar coat anything and got me ready for what to expect and I'm thankful for it. Definitely recommend him! read more
