I just passed my one year mark since getting breast augmentation. From the consultation to this anniversary, everything was perfectly executed. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Marin, Amber, Kinzie, and the rest of the staff. Facility: Both Dr. Marin's office in La Jolla and the surgical center where my surgery was performed are immaculate. Dr. Marin's office seems more like a spa than a clinic, and has a wonderful welcoming atmosphere. Staff: Kinzie is there to greet you with a bright, contagious smile and amazingly warm personality. She is on top of her game with scheduling and phone call reminders. Amber is the Clinical Director and made me feel comfortable and special, and not just a patient number on a medical form. She was part of my consultation and even showed up when I came out of surgery to cheer me on and check on me -- that meant so much to me. Dr. Marin: Hands down the most professional, honest, knowledgeable, and skilled doc in the game. I trusted him with every aspect of my surgery and he came through for me all the way. He answered all of my questions in satisfying detail before, during, and after my surgery. Results: I cannot be more happy with the size, shape, look, and feel of my new "girls" -- I provided visual and descriptive examples of what I wanted them to look like and Dr. Marin tailored my implants to be exactly that. Expectation = Reality. Tips: Find photos of what you want your results to look like -- the more examples the better. Be descriptive and detailed with your desired outcome. Call Dr. Marin. Ask as many questions as you want to feel completely comfortable with your decision. Relax and get ready for your new adventure! read more

Dr. Marin and his team are truly the best. I originally met with him for BA and lift. He came highly recommended from a very trusted source. He has incredible bedside manner (which is hard to find these days). I showed him photos of the look I wanted and I couldn't be happier with the results. Next, (lol) I decided to go forward with my rhinoplasty surgery I've wanted since middle school. Of course I had to go with Dr. Marin since I was so happy with my previous surgery with him. Once again, he and his team exceeded my expectations! I was so nervous for this procedure as I didn't want to look unrecognizable, but I don't look like a different person. I now have the nose I feel I was always meant to have and that's all thanks to Marin Aesthetics. I highly recommend Marin Aesthetics to anyone looking to have a cosmetic procedure done. You will not regret it! 10/10! read more

My Wife Had Tummy Tuck with Back Lipo on January 2023 and Result was worst. To gain Business , during every Pre Op Meeting : Dr.Marin keep making fake promises and false commitment about result and she is good candidate for this procedure.We made a mistake that we trusted on him blindly without doing our Due Diligence and we are regretting it. We had not ask single penny discount from him only expected for good result.paid 15k. During 3 Month App After Procedure : We keep telling us keep patience everything went as expected and follow the Lymphatic Massage and take rest which she did but she started realising that there is something not right with tummy tuck bcoz her skin was keep getting loose week after week. During 6 Month App : He realise that result is not gonna come but he still keeps lying us that give some 6 months or else we will have other options to get it corrected .Till now we were sure that he has no experience and we have waisted our money bcoz revision is the only option left for us but we thought lets give a shot and wait till Dec 2023 Appointment. During 12 Month App: Dr. Marin has shown us real color , he literally changed his words saying that her skin was not at all good for this procedure and he has done lot better work that expected and both got shocked saying what this is first time we are hearing from mr.lier and he was ignoring us instead giving us revision option he said he will charge full for another procedure ( which is not as per law mr.marin , we have read consent form that if patent is not happy with result dr has to do revision without charging anything extra except facility and anesthesia fees) Next few weeks :We stared talking second opinion from few dr. and came to know that he lack experience in Tummy Tuck and during this second opinion , we found another dr Mr.Mofid who was his good friend and he informed him about us that we are taking second opinion from other Docs. Last Meeting with Mr.Marin: During Jan 2024 , his behavior was totally opposite from last time , he was very quite and ready to offer for revision with lesser amount which decided not to do and not getting hyper on our questions ( we sense that Mr. Mofid has done his job by informing him about us and ask to offer revision and get this settled ). In Short , Please don't blindly trust on his words because Honesty is precious gift and don't expect from Cheap people like Him. Note: We are going to post his live picture and video about his behavior with patent read more

If you are considering Dr Marin for a breast augmentation, run don't walk! I had never had surgery before but since my early teens I had always wanted a BA. I needed a lift due to loss of volume from weight loss. I went to a few consults and did lots of research but seeing Dr Marin's work and hearing his expertise I knew he was the one I wanted to do my surgery. I am 3 months post op and am so incredibly happy with the results! The size is exactly what I wanted and the scars are so clean. Dr Marin is really the best. His staff is wonderful too, Laura made me feel comfortable answering all my questions and hearing my concerns since I was so nervous. They all really made me feel comfortable! Thank you Dr Marin and team! read more

Marin Aesthetics - Breast Augmentation Before & After (7 months ) - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - La Jolla, California

I was recently in California consulting with surgeons on multiple future extensive reconstruction surgeries. After a substantial amount of research, I chose to consult with Dr. Marin during my time. Although I did not end up choosing him as my surgeon, I am so thankful for the time that I was able to spend with him and the information he was able to provide. He truly has a skill to build beautiful bodies! His office staff were amazing. Rachelle in particular was fantastic to speak with. Super informative, very nice and wonderful to talk with. I really appreciate them taking the time to educate and speak with me. read more

The surgeon is fantastic. He is skilled, he has great bedside manner, he is artistic, nice, down to earth, makes you feel relaxed, and I would return to him again should I want more work done in the future read more

About 3 years ago, at the age of 50, I decided I wanted a more refreshed and youthful looking appearance. My dear friend recommended Dr. Marin. Dr. Marin had a reputation for providing wonderfully natural results. After my consultation, Dr. Marin suggested getting a lower facelift and blepharoplasty to achieve the results I wanted. During my initial consultation and subsequent pre/op appointment, the theme moving forward was to achieve natural results. And boy, I wasn't disappointed!!! The recovery was virtually painless. After 2 weeks, I was able to return to work looking refreshed and about 10 years younger! Three years later, people still think I look much younger than I am and so pleased with the results! Fast forward to March of this year, I decided to go forward with a much desired Rhinoplasty. There was no doubt who I would trust with this surgery. Dr. Marin is so patient, knowledgeable, experienced and a true artist. Two months post op and my nose looks AMAZING!! The results are so natural. I couldn't be happier!!! Dr. Marin, Nurse Laura and Julia are a wonderful team who can and will take care of all your needs! I can't recommend them enough. read more

It's been a little over a year since I had my rhinoplasty procedure with Dr. Marin. I cannot even begin express my gratitude to the entire staff at Marin Aesthetics for the most seamless process from start to finish. This was my first surgery and the entire staff, particularly Rachelle, Amber, and Dr. Marin were there to answer my questions and soothe my nerves every step of the way. I highly recommend Marin Aesthetics, and I cannot thank the team enough! read more

I've pretty much wanted my Breast Reduction and Liposuction since I was 16 years old.  When I finally saved the money and wanted to move forward with surgery I found Dr. Marin on Instagram and thought the results looked amazing. I liked his work and I thought it will be worth it going to someone that gets great results. It has been almost 8 months since my surgery and sadly I'm not in love with how the liposuction came out or my nipple on one of my breasts. It looks very uneven and there's a VERY noticeable line where you can see where the liposuction stops and starts.. and one nipple is just really uneven. This has made me feel insecure and helpless. I'm sad because my savings went to this surgery that I have always wanted. I paid too much to not be happy with the results. I can't even wear a bathing suit or any tight clothes. I thought he was a good doctor so I don't know what went wrong. I've brought it up with Dr. Marin but the conversation left me feeling uncomfortable and worse with how I was spoke to. It's really depressing thinking how I did this surgery and still feel worse then before because now I have all these contour issues on my stomach and one nipple is very weirdly shaped.. keep in mind I'm really not asking for perfection. I wish I never did the liposuction because it's so noticeable. And also zero follow ups after the horrible conversation I had with him. I'll see if it gets any better but as of now, no luck. read more

Best plastic surgeon in San Diego hands down! Dr. Marin is an absolute genius! Had a rhinoplasty a little over a week ago. Even now when I am still very swollen, I am blown away with the results! He gave me exactly what I asked for and I am just so thankful and feel blessed I found Marin Aesthetics. The whole team is wonderful from start to finish... I am just on cloud 9, thank you Dr. Marin you are talented beyond words! read more

Marin Aesthetics - Before and after, just a little over a week out! - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - La Jolla, California

Cant say enough nice things about this place! Dr Marin and his team are the best of the best! Not only are they quick, knowledgeable and professional, but theyre also just really nice people. I had a BA this past April and I went to a few surgeons before a friend recommended Marin Aesthetics. I am so glad she did and I have been sending people their way ever since. My results have been EXACTLY what I was looking for. They really listen to you and really try to understand what it is your looking for. I couldnt be happier! Thanks guys! read more

Dr Marin is the Tits! (no pun intended) ;) Honestly though, I don't write a ton of reviews which is terrible since I absolutely read them when searching for just about anything... I had gone in for a consultation with Dr Marin a couple years back to see about fixing a previous breast augmentation. I really loved how he explained everything, talked to me like I wasn't an idiot, and was very realistic about his intentions. When I was 24 I got my first augmentation and while I probably wasn't the best post-op patient I now know there are some things that surgeon could have done differently or explained to me better. Water under the bridge at this point because this review is on how GOOD Marin is not how BAD she was. :) He had many difficulties to deal with when it came to me... Let me list them: Left side had a pocket that was too high and hadn't dropped properly Right side had a pocket that had bottomed out (the implant slipped out under the muscle) Right side had subsequent scar tissue almost up to my collar bone Right side had scaring at the incision site In general Im pretty thin which doesn't leave a lot of natural tissue to cover the implant. That being said, I couldn't be happier with how things turned out! I'm even, he fixed much of the scaring, both sides sit proportionally & most of all I don't feel like my back is tweaked from constantly trying to cover the side that had sunk too low. If you are on the fence about surgery TRUST me, don't go any further... And he and his wife are just a cool ass couple, Amber, his assistant I dealt most with is amazing, and going into the office was never a hassle, I never felt like I was getting sold, he's such a perfectionist with a laundry list of credentials. Dr Marin is definitely one you will want to have performing your surgery. He's the best. Period. read more

Dr. Marin is the best in his industry. I'm really going to miss his care! He understands and empathizes with your situation and has a precision to his work that is unlike any other. He is gifted! He helped me become the version of myself that I had always envisioned. I'm now a happier, healthier me all because he helped give me confidence. Every time I look in the mirror, I love what I see and it shows. So many people warned me against breast augmentation, that I looked fine the way I was, and that it wouldn't make me happy because the problem was internal. Well, that's partially true. But I didn't want to look "fine" I wanted to look "fucking fantastic". And I was tired of feeling like a boy with no curves. See, I made a promise to myself that if did the surgery, I would begin improving other areas of my life. Because I realized there are plenty of people who change themselves and then get addicted and it's bc deep inside they aren't happy with themselves. Since my surgery my life changed. I started to love myself! I finally felt like a woman, not an adolescent. I started seeing a personal trainer, I bought sexy clothes, I started eating healthier, and taking care of my mental health. I then had a spiritual awakening and I've never felt more alive and grateful. I would no doubt do it all over again. Changing yourself is a scary process, but it doesn't have to be when you know you're in the best hands. read more

Getting a breast augmentation isn't easy, but Dr. Marin makes it all so smooth!! I am extremely pleased with my results & love how amazing his work is! When a friend referred me to him, it didn't take me long to realize what a genius he is by taking a look at his site! I quickly emailed his office & planned it a month ahead which fell on a date of late December. I gave myself a month to really think about if I want this because it's a really big decision! I didn't really email other doctors because to me his work is the best I've seen, I got a response real speedy within a day. As the month passed by I realized I really wanted a breast augmentation, & Dr. Marin sealed the deal! I knew from that moment we starts talking about it I knew he was the one I wanted to do my surgery! He made me feel very comfortable! My surgery was 2 weeks later, I went in feeling super nervous... I put myself in his team's hands & just felt at ease once I got in & started chatting with everyone. The surgery was a breeze & the recover was not bad at all!!! But what was really important to me was the way his staff interacted with me. Amber is so amazing too, she was such a amazing nurse I'm so glad she was by my side!!! Honestly I'm thinking of what I want to get next or what's an excuse to go back & see them because I just loved them so much!!! The answer is easy, Dr. Marin is plastic surgeon you want & need in your life!!!!! read more

I came to Dr. Marin as a private pay, outpatient patient to take care of unsightly moles on my face and head. The experience couldn't be any better. The front office is really nice, with complementary coffee and chocolate that eased my anxiety about getting my face burned. Amber prepped me and Dr. Marin burned the little suckers quickly, with really expert hands. I was in-and-out in less than 30 minutes, so even parking was free! read more

I flew in from the UK to have Dr Marin fix my deviated septum, nostril blockage, breathing issues and also to have slight cosmetic corrections on my nose. I chose Dr Marin because he makes everyone's nose look flattering for their face, instead of giving everyone the same type of nose. He was also confident is his ability help with my breathing problems. He was able to do a video consultation with me, then I met him before the surgery and he made me feel really comfortable with what I was going to experience. The staff and nurse (Kinzie, Julia, Laura, and Rachelle) were so friendly, helpful, and made me feel welcome in the clinic. The surgical center was very clean and calming and the operation went smoothly. The pain level was surprisingly low after the surgery. Dr Marin was available to answer all of my questions throughout my recovery. And of course, I am thrilled with my results and so thankful for Dr Marin for giving me the gift of being able to breathe through my nose for the first time!! I would recommend Dr Marin to all my friends and family! read more

7 months ago, I came to Dr. Marin for gynecomastia and abdominoplasty (after a 100 lb weight loss). From the first consultation, he made me feel comfortable and took his time answering my questions. He and his staff were excellent during my follow up appointments. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Dr. Marin. read more

I was referred for Dr Marin through a friend. I had a number of consultations with surgeons in LA and OC - as I'm LA based, but as soon as I met him, I knew he was the one I was going with. Not only him, but his whole team were attentive and made me feel comfortable and taken care of. I had a large benign lump that I wanted removed with the implants and Dr Marin did it all. The outcome has left me feeling more at ease and in love with my body than ever. - He is the best in the business and I would refer him to anyone who is needing consultation or work done. I'm incredibly grateful to him and his team. read more

Dr. Marin and his entire team are amazing!! I was in desperate need of a breast augmentation revision, and scoured through dozens of doctors before coming across Dr. Marins website. As soon as I had my consultation, I knew I needed to look no further. From the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, to Dr. Marin himself, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Marin was very thorough in explaining to me the issues I was having with my breasts, and left me feeling confident that he would be able to get me looking and feeling much better. I am about 8 weeks post-op, and I am SO happy with my results! Every part of my experience here has been wonderful, and I would recommend them to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. read more

I can't thank Dr. Marin and his team enough. I was a difficult case, and Dr. Marin took every precaution to make sure I was safe during my procedure. The results are night and day. I've met with 3 other surgeons but none of them made me feel as comfortable as Dr. Marin. The time he took to explain step by step and making sure that I'm aware of all things that might happen made the decision very easy to go with the best in San Diego! Amber and the rest of the staff were very attentive and made sure I was good every time I left the office. I'm extremely happy with my results and my choice of surgeon! read more

Dr Marin And his team exceeded all my expectations! He and his staff are top notch in every way! Dr. Marin is unique in that he has the ability to make you feel extremely comfortable and welcome within the first few minutes of meeting him. I knew within the first 10 minutes of my consultation that he was the perfect fit. He spent well over two hours and two consultations with myself and my husband. He listened to everyone one of my concerns and assured me that I would be extremely happy with my results. He genuinely cares about each and every patient and treats you as an individual. And the icing on the cake; he's super friendly and pretty dang funny but he is also genuine, professional, confident, extremely knowledgeable and detailed. He is truly an expert at his profession. I am beyond satisfied with my results! He and his team nailed it. A big shout out and Thank you to Dr. Marin, Amber, Rachelle and Kinzie! I seriously love you guys! read more

Words cant describe how happy I am with my breast augmentation. I had my surgery 6 months ago and the results are out of this world. I highly recommend Dr. Marin!! I feel so confident and extremely happy how I look in bikinis and not to mention naked! Thank you so much Dr. Marin for being so talented and sweet. You and your team are the real deal! read more

Dr. Marin has been phenomenal. I first met him back in May 2018, when I went in for a free consultation. My goal was to get implants. He was very welcoming and hands on with the entire process. He spoke to me about what look and sizing I was going to want. He scheduled me for surgery right away for June! Like I wanted a natural look we went for Gummy bear implants and they looked and felt so amazing! He gave me the look I wanted! Marin gave me 450 cc for a proportioned body. Go and consult and work with him. He is amazing and his Amber is the best! She is so sweet and caring and loving. Marin is a genius! The post care is so hands on and long term! He would check on me every other week up until after 8 months! I love their whole team! Plus Rachelle made it so easy to make payment and even offered financing options. You won't be disappointed. read more

Before deciding on a plastic surgeon, I went to 5 different consults before deciding to go with Dr Marin. all the other doctors told me what I wanted to hear - that they could work their magic and do implants without a lift- when in retrospect, there was no way I couldve been happy with the results had I not gone with getting a lift in addition to the implants. He was very straightforward while also being extremly compassionate and went out of his way to accommodate me (I had a broken leg at the time). I couldn't recommend him more and should I ever want another procedure in the future, I would without a doubt use Dr Marin and his wonderful staff of nurses (especially Amber:)!!! read more

Dr. Marin and his staff are absolutely phenomenal! I don't feel as though I can put it into words just how grateful I am to have found them. Dr. Marin is a genius as well as completely humble and down to earth. The entire staff is dedicated to making you feel comfortable. Due to my anxiety I would not have gone through with my tummy tuck procedure had I chosen a different doctor. Dr. Marin and his staff were patient and able to put me at ease. I am a new person. This is the best thing I've ever done for myself! read more

Only go here if you want to get botched breast augmentation. Do not let Dr. Marin convince you to do a nipple lift! I went to him to fix my breast rupture (he didn't do first procedure). I loved my implants and nipples before but unfortunately a deep tissue back massage ruptured one. He then convinced me I needed a nipple lift. My areolas are now double the size they were before and 2 completely different shapes. The scaring is very bad too but I could live with that. Dr. Marin told me to wait a year so I now write this review a year after surgery and they are just as bad. Then how he handled himself when I voiced my concern with the 2 different shaped areolas and size but that's a whole other story, I have just accepted my botched nipples for now. My man and friends just says they have character now :( it's really bad. :( :( read more

Recently under went a rhinoplasty by Dr. Marin and staff. I'm 28 years old have been wanting the bump in my nose removed along with minor tweaks . My nose has always been an issue of mine and I was finally ready to make a change. Was referred to Dr Marin by Dr Groff a dermatologist in La Jolla (and I cannot thank them both enough). As soon as I met with Dr Marin I knew he was the perfect fit for me. He was so kind, patient and made me feel at ease, never felt rushed and he was always there to answer my questions . His staff are amazing as well (rachelle , amber, Amanda etc) . This was my first surgery and I was so nervous , anxious , scared every emotion, but new this is what I wanted. Day of surgery (last Thursday) was so anxious but dr Marin and staff made me feel so safe and secure , I knew I was in great hands. Soon as the IV went in , all I recall is waking up and headed home. I had minimal pain throughout the entire process , worst thing was dry mouth ! Ha . Dr Marin is the best I'm in LOVE with my nose it looks amazing and it's only my cast removal day, and it only gets better with time !! Love love him . Cannot thank his staff and him enough ! I can finally say BEST decision of my life thus far. read more

I am thrilled to be a patient of Dr. Marin. When I was searching for a plastic surgeon, I knew not to look any further, once I had a consultation with Dr. Marin. After I shared with him the results I was seeking to achieve, he explained to me my options and in a way I could understand. He also went a step further and took my picture to show me, via Photoshop, my future surgical results. Not like the other prior consultations I had been to. They would stand behind me in front of a mirror and pull back and up on the sides of my face. Besides Dr. Marin's accreditations' , the reason I picked him to be my doctor is his incredible communication skills. A patient always expects their doctor to be knowledgeable, have extensive education and past testimonies, however I have never had a doctor who would listen so intently and speak to me in a way that is so clear. Any questions I had were answered in detail by Dr. Marin or his delightful Assistant Shannon. Dr. Marin will treat you like you are his most important patient . His dedicated staff who support him are absolutely wonderful (from the receptionist to the recovery room nurse, Wanda). Checkout his website for his accreditations' and experience. www.marinaesthetics.com and check him out on YouTube when he is a special guest on Fox News. My before and after pictures are on his website under the tab "facelifts". I am Case #5. I'm 48 years old, but look and feel like a 30 year old again thanks to the team at Ranch & Coast Aesthetics. read more

Dr Marin is my life safer. I've been seeing him for almost 4 years now for my Botox for my migraine. He's the best, him and his staff are so amazing and caring for their patients. Always a wonderful and welcoming feeling in their office and I recommend everyone should go there. He has wonderful bed side matter and will answer any questions and concerns you have before any procedure. Such a wonderful doctor that loves what he does and located for the well being of everyone he sees. You definitely will not be disappointed with him read more

Holy cow...I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Marin and his team. I'd been contemplating a breast aug for a couple years, but never found a doctor that 'got me'. After 10 minutes with Dr. Marin, I was ready to fill out my intake forms and schedule my appointment...which I did for 5 days later. Fast forward to post op -- At day 1, I was comfortable (minimal meds), they already looked amazing, and I had almost no bruising. Day 5, I felt like I could rock a bikini and nobody would even know they were fake (but I kept on my sports bra, like a good little patient). The results are SO amazing and I felt so great that my sister ended up scheduling a different procedure with him for a week later (I'm sure she will be leaving her 5-star Yelp review soon too!). Already, she's thrilled with the results. I'd also like to say a quick THANK YOU!! to Rachelle, Ashley, Julie, Shannon, and the other O.R. nurses that took such good care of us. I know they operate on people routinely, but the whole team made me and my sis feel so well cared for and special. :) read more

I am a repeat patient of Dr. Marin and I cannot rave about him enough. For my first surgery, I met with a couple of other doctors and while they weren't bad there was just something special about Dr. Marin and how comfortable I felt with him right away. He spent a lot of time with me during the consult going over everything and making sure I understood the process, and answered all of my questions. I did not feel rushed during the appointment which I really appreciated. My first surgery went extremely well and I was very pleased with the results. His aftercare was great and he and the staff were always available to answer any questions I had. For my second surgery (brow lift), there was no question that I was going to see Dr. Marin again. We discussed the procedure and I felt at ease and confident that I would be happy with my results, as we were both on the same page of what we wnated to achieve. Here we are, almost two months after my procedure and I couldn't be happier! The results look so natural and hardly anyone can tell that I had anything done. Everyone keeps telling me my face looks bright and refreshed. That was exactly what I wanted. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Marin and his staff. Everyone from the receptionist, to Shannon and Amber are great! He definitely knows what he doing and has a great eye. read more

The BEST... I work in the medical field & I was ready to have an explant of my 18 year old saline implants. I certainly did my due diligence after having multiple consultations with local plastic surgeons & I knew immediately that Dr.Marin was the best Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Southern California to have my explant with for many reasons, but to name a few... 1. Dr. Marin set realistic expectations on my recovery and what to expect aesthetic wise. 2. He didn't try to up sell me on a breast lift, tho I will certainly be going to him in the future. He also took the time to explain a full capsulectomy vs partial and what would be best in my case. 3. He genuinely cares... I had 3 consultations, yes 3...with Dr.Marin to clarify any issues or concerns that I may have had and he never made me feel rushed or silly for asking so many questions for a relatively simple procedure. 4. The ALEXUS surgery center is first class! 5. Dr. Marin's supporting staff- Rochelle, Amber, Kenzie! I am very happy with my explant & results! If your considering having ANY aesthetic procedure, explant, implants- consider Dr. Marin! read more

My experience with a breast lift and augmentation has been amazing. I knew when I met Dr. Marin at my consult, he was the doctor for me. I have never had any surgery and I had a lot of questions and concerns. Dr. Marin and his staff is helpful, knowledgable and very caring. The facility is beautiful and I loved that their or is on site and not in a big hospital. Dr Marin is not only an incredible plastic surgeon, he is also an artist. My result is better than I imagined. read more

As a former employee at Ranch and Coast, I can say that my experience working at this office was amazing! Although my time at the office was short, due to personal reasons, I really enjoyed working with everybody. The moment you walk in, you feel so welcomed and at home!!! You feel the professionalism of the entire staff. Both Doctors Chasan and Marin are great surgeons who provide the highest quality of care towards their patients. I saw wonderful results in the surgeries and injectable procedures that were done at the office, they have their own OR and recovery room which is incredible because patients don't have to be moving from one place to another right after their surgery, they have a kids area to leave your little ones while you have your consult! How cool is that?? I can't stress this fact enough! This office is amazing! The Doctors, The Nurses, The Esthetician, The Endermologist, The Front Office Staff! Pebbles by the Beach!!! Everyone!! You are all AWESOME!!!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity in working with all of you!! Please don't doubt in calling and setting up a consultation! You will not regret it!!! Thank you Ranch and Coast!!! Xoxo Steph :) read more

Dr. Marin is the not only the greatest doctor, but a rad guy. He is patient and fully answers all your questions. He makes you feel comfortable and is very attentive to all your needs. When your with him he doesn't rush through your appointments, but is patient with answering all your questions. He answered a million for my good friend. Anyways, with my life in his hands during surgery I felt completely at ease. Woke up after surgery and felt like a million bucks. Choose him only!!!! read more

Getting a breast revision augmentation with capsular contracture isn't a easy procedure. I was referred to Dr Marin by a friend. The minute I sat down with Dr Marin I knew he was going to be the doctor to help my situation. First time I sat in his office he did a very thorough consultation & explained in detail my options. This was my third breast augmentation so I am very aware of a detailed surgeon that reviews all options and takes their time with you. I decided to book my surgery to get it behind me and move on with life so I can actually enjoy my body. Days leading up to surgery.. Dr Marin took so much time with any answers I needed to go through again. Both Rachelle and Amber were so nice & patient. Rachelle took that extra step to make sure I was completely comfortable and offered me multi consultations if needed. I even had a phone consultation before my surgery to ease my mind. Not all surgeons and practices take this kind of time and effort. Day of surgery... I was nervous. But again Dr Marin was there early to talk thorough any concerns I had. Surgeons can be very intimidating and I felt Dr Marin & his team were super professional and empathetic. Surgery went well & now I am healing. Dr Marin's bed side manners were above professional & caring. Had my post op a day ago and everything went great. The most important part of my experience is how I was treated at Dr Marin's office. Surgeries are not easy, cosmetic or medically chosen, so I feel it was important for me to share my experience. I would highly recommend doing several consultations before "settling" on a doctor. Don't go for a less expensive doctor and chose your surgeon based off the overall experience. read more

I have referred multiple friends to Dr. Marin for different procedures and every one of them has had the same fantastic experience that I did. Walking into Ranch and Coast Plastic Surgery, you are surrounded by a relaxing and beautiful environment - from the greeting at the counter, to the waiting area and exam rooms. After my initial consult, I made the immediate decision that Dr. Marin would be my surgeon. Other offices that I had initial consults at felt very much like a community doctor's office, with my interview seeming to be very Q&A, rather than a discussion. I felt like I was just another person wanting a procedure, and that while they would complete it, that there was little consideration to me as an individual. I appreciate the length at which they have gone at Ranch and Coast to be one step above and beyond. Dr. Marin and his assistant Shannon make a WONDERFUL team. He is very attentive, and genuinely addresses questions and concerns for you personally. While discussing my procedure, he took every aspect of my life into consideration for both the recovery period and the end result, made very honest suggestions and made me feel very comfortable with decision I made. Shannon was with me every step of the way, as a comfortable sounding board and huge knowledge resource - she continues to follow up with me many months post surgery to make sure I am still doing well! I could not be happier with my results, as well!! At every single follow up appointment, I have been given the same amount of attention, genuineness and confidence that I absolutely chose the right surgeon and team - the best in San Diego! read more
