Overrated and expensive. I was told about how great my results would look but after all was said…read moreand done things looked worse. Dr P left large gashes in his surgical cuts where i could fit my finger in them. I wish I could post the pictures but this post would probably get taken down. I was told to wait a year for results to get better. I did and it did not look better! Just lots of gaping scars. They said they would fix the problems then when i finally saw the doctor said he refused to fix anything and that he never promised anything. They probably hoped that after a year I would just give up. You do NOT get what you pay for in this place but if you have money to burn go for it! I think the Dr may have been good at what he does at one time but he probably needs to retire at this point. I wish I had a good experience here but I did not. Good luck! Update to respond to Athenix's response: I have had other comsmetic procedures done before by other doctors and have never had any issues nor any horrendous scars as a result. Yes, everyone heals differently, however, Dr P's surgical cuts were by far the widest cuts I've experienced for same procedure I've had done in the past by other doctors. There is also no excuse for his poor bedside manner. Promising me any post-op issues would be addressed then gaslighting me and saying he never told me that (which was a major factor for me going forward with the procedure) is just unethical and unacceptable. He's not an honest Dr and not someone I would ever recommend!

She told me with time it would barely be noticed. She was right! It was a half a day. Surgery at the hospital. Very easy. I was in and out of there and Dr. Riola made it much better! She also did my breast augmentation. After over ten years they needed to be redone. They were saline before and she recommended silicone. She said they were much better for looks and she was right. The size she gave me was perfect too. The surgery was easy too. In and out. Didn't have much pain at all. It healed fast. Silicone is much better. I also earned a free Botox for getting the breast augmentation and she said it would help. It was simple and easy. The results turned out good. Up next, I had my ear piercing torn and it cut all the way through to where I couldn't wear earrings. I came up with a magical way to make it work. I used nail glue and glued them together. After a while you really get tired of nail gluing your ears to get to wear earrings. I went to Dr. Riola and she said she could easily fix them. I didn't even have to go under. She just numbed my ears and fixed them. Then they had to heal. I went in 5 months later and she pierced them. They are fixed now and I couldn't be more thankful or happier that I no longer have to nail glue my ears together. She's an incredible surgeon and really easy to work with and extremely nice. Easy to talk to too. She's confident in the work she does and earned every single star. Her staff is really nice and easy to talk to as well! She has a very nice office. It's a very nice and calm atmosphere. She has tons of great art work on the walls. Even in the bathroom. You aromatically feel welcomed from the comfort of her office and welcoming workers. Highly recommended!

I am now 10 days post-op a breast reduction/lift and felt it was important to leave a review…read moredetailing my experience. I decided to disclose my specific procedure because I could find no reviews by other patients who had the same surgery; which would have been helpful to me when doing my own research. Dr. Stevens was recommended by a friend who had multiple procedures under his care and was consistently happy with her results. Just a little background on me - I am a mother of two, who spent a solid two years of my life breastfeeding. Fortunately, I also have medical background that was helpful during this process. Surgery is a big decision and I consider myself to be a person with exceptionally high standards, which is why I researched everything in depth beforehand. After educating myself as best I could about the procedure and reading reviews online, I took the plunge and made an appointment with Kendel, the physician liaison. Kendel was friendly and knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and provided realistic expectations. I met with Dr. Stevens thereafter and was pleasantly surprised by his honesty and down-to-earth nature. He was very professional which I feel is important when dealing with a topic so sensitive and personal. After I met with him, I felt confident about the surgery and had a good idea of what to expect. The day of my surgery I was nervous, but after meeting with Dr. Stevens and the anesthetist felt more at ease. Dr. Stevens had a calm, "business as usual" demeanor that made me even more comfortable. Before I knew it, I was waking up in recovery and ready to go home! The pain was minimal, (nothing compared to a c-section for those of you who have had one). I was given a number to call if I needed anything at any time of day or night. Dr. Stevens called me himself the night of my surgery to make sure I was okay, which I thought was pretty awesome and accurately depicts the sort of person he really is - the caring, compassionate sort. On the third day after my surgery my bandages were removed to reveal perfect, perky breasts. I nearly cried because I felt like I was seeing what I should have been born with. My result was exactly what I had asked for and even exceeded my own expectations. I already knew to expect scarring, (there is no way around that with this type of procedure) but his suturing is wonderful and I expect the scars to fade significantly with time. I am physically more comfortable and overall a happier person! My confidence has been restored! THANK YOU Dr. Stevens from the bottom of my heart. You have changed my life for the better and I would not hesitate to return to you should I ever decide to have another procedure. I would recommend you to anyone considering a surgery.

I called the office today, September 8, 2026, to inquire about an appointment and obtain…read moreinformation regarding a procedure. When the receptionist asked what procedure I was interested in, I explained the situation and mentioned that my previous surgeon had retired. The receptionist immediately interrupted me and stated that my surgeon was not retired. I attempted several times to clarify who I was referring to and provide additional information, but I was repeatedly interrupted and was not given an opportunity to finish explaining my situation. The only response I was ultimately able to hear was, "We are not taking any new patients." I understand that a medical office may not be accepting new patients; however, I believe the way this information is communicated is equally important. I found the interaction unnecessarily rude and dismissive, particularly when I was simply trying to ask a question and provide clarification. I ultimately said, "Well, thanks for not letting me speak," because I felt I was not being given an opportunity to communicate. As a potential new patient, this interaction was concerning. It left me wondering how patients are treated when they have questions, concerns, or complications that require additional communication and support. First impressions matter, especially in healthcare, and I hope the office considers providing staff with training on professional and respectful communication with prospective and current patients.

His direct demeanor just shows how seriously he takes his work. I'd much rather have a doctor who is confident and precise than overly focused on being personable.

She invited me to the second one because she was fearful she wasn't going to get the results she wanted and she wanted more questions answered. In the previous appointment, Dr. Zuniga had treated her poorly and suggested she lose weight prior to the procedure. The medical recommendation itself is not rude. It's the way he said it. He asked her, "do you have running shoes?" She said yes. He replied, "great, you should use them". He continued to put her down with passive aggressive comments. I attended the second appointment. He refused to shake my hand when I introduced myself. He was reluctant to explain things to my wife and I. She had a desired result in mind. Dr. Zuniga kept insisting he was not going to do that because it wouldn't "look good". To me, unless there is a medical or health related reason, there is no need to ignore what a patient wants because of personal opinion. As I asked questions about her desired results & procedure he asked me, "sorry, what do you do for work?". I told him what I do. He replied, "yeah this is different from that"...Absolutely rude & unprofessional. He did not treat my wife with care or respect. He could not meet her desired result and insulted us as we tried to understand why. All in all, her results were not what she wanted because he refused to listen to her & refused to medically explain why he couldn't do what she wanted to have done. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you go somewhere else.

I…read moreprobed a question to see if he'd say I need to lose weight after reading some of the reviews here, and he was very supportive in encouraging me to focus on healthy, safe ways to reach my goals and said to not to focus on the specific pounds. I think some people don't realize that obesity can carry serious health risks, and a responsible doctor won't approve surgery unless it's safe--because your life is at stake. You can DIE if your body is too fat and you go in for surgery. Dr. Sian is straightforward and to the point, but he also makes an effort to engage in small talk and then always brings the focus back to the medical questions, which is exactly what a good doctor should do. To leave one star reviews simply because you didn't like hearing the truth is unfair and misleading. He comes highly referred by Dr. Storey and the VA, and my experience reflects why--he's an excellent physician who cares about doing things the right way.

It has…read moretaken me a long time to build up the courage to even share this experience, and even longer to consider seeing another plastic surgeon because of how badly I was treated. I came in extremely vulnerable about lifelong insecurities, seeking help for a nose that has caused me emotional pain and social isolation. Instead of feeling heard or supported, I was met with total disregard. Dr. Sian was dismissive, curt, and made me feel like I was a second-class citizen. He seemed completely uninterested in my concerns and could not wait to leave the room, treating me as if I was an inconvenience rather than a patient who deserved compassion and professionalism. As someone living with disabilities and facing constant bullying over my appearance, it took tremendous courage to finally ask for help. The way Dr. Sian treated me only added to my anxiety and sense of worthlessness. No patient deserves to be treated this way, especially when exposing their deepest insecurities to a medical professional. I hope this complaint helps raise awareness so that other patients are not made to feel so disregarded and disrespected.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kathleen Behr and her entire team in Fresno…read more My experience began with Nayeli, who gathered my information and explained the available procedures and what might work best for me. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. The office stayed in contact with me, arranged a very convenient pre-procedure phone appointment, and coordinated my surgery date. When I arrived, everything went seamlessly. Cosmetic procedures are not inexpensive, and this was the most money I have ever spent on myself. I can honestly say it was also the best money I have ever spent. Until you go through a procedure like this, you may not realize how much happens behind the scenes for just one patient. I had an entire team--including Christine, Priscilla, Gabby, and Teresa--and every one of them played an important role. They worked together in complete unison and were professional, caring, and helpful throughout the entire process. I was prepared, positioned, numbed, and carefully guided through each step before Dr. Behr took over and performed the procedure. She was amazing. Although I am only three days into my recovery, I am already very happy with my results. I was also impressed by how fairly the practice treats its patients financially. My consultation fee was only $50, while many practices charge $100 to $150. That immediately told me they were not trying to take advantage of patients from the beginning. I had also seen that some practices charge an additional $100 to $150 for the required post-surgery compression garment. Dr. Behr's office provided mine at no additional charge. That may seem like a small detail, but it meant a great deal to me because it showed that they were not going to nickel-and-dime me throughout the process. The practice also offers several helpful ways to communicate and save money. I joined the Behr Club, which saved me a significant amount on my procedure. They also helped me sign up for Allē--the app with the halo--which allows patients to earn rewards and save money on certain treatments and products at participating providers. Be sure to ask about both programs. Because I live in Sacramento and cannot always drive to Fresno, the Allē program will be especially valuable to me. I had researched and visited practices in Sacramento but never felt completely comfortable with any of them. While working on assignment in Fresno, I contacted Dr. Behr's office, and I immediately knew I had found the right place. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kathleen Behr and her wonderful staff to anyone considering a cosmetic procedure. They offer an extensive range of services, treat their patients with genuine care, and work together as an exceptional team. God bless all of you, and thank you for making this such a positive and meaningful experience. Make the call youll thank me : Behr Laser & Skin Care Center 1125 E Spruce Ave Ste 103 · (559) 435-7546

Follow up~ I have called the office several times now to…read morespeak with Dr. Behr regarding her response to my Google review. After speaking with different staff members, I was told that she does not take calls. I left messages requesting a call back, but still have not heard from her. I remain willing to discuss a resolution directly with her. I rarely leave negative reviews, but after my experience, I feel it is important to warn others before they spend thousands of dollars here. I paid a $250 deposit and an additional $3,575, for a total of $3,825, for filler and Botox treatments performed by Dr. Desai. From the very first follow-up appointment, I repeatedly told the medical assistant that I was unhappy with my results. At every appointment, I explained that I had developed small bumps underneath my eyes, that my marionette lines were not improving and continued to show bumps, and that I was disappointed with how everything was turning out. Dr. Desai also injected my nasolabial folds, yet those lines are still visible. Despite repeatedly expressing my concerns, I felt they were dismissed instead of being taken seriously. During my appointments, Dr. Desai told me that the Botox she had recommended interfered with the fillers. That statement left me questioning why that treatment plan had been recommended in the first place. If I was being told that one treatment interfered with another, why would I feel comfortable proceeding with additional procedures? At that point, my confidence in the treatment plan had been significantly diminished. I have allowed adequate time for the treatment to settle and for any improvement to occur. Given the number of injections I received and the significant financial investment I made, the outcome does not reflect the scope of the treatment. After allowing adequate time, I met with Dr. Behr to discuss my concerns. During that visit, she recommended performing additional treatment. However, I did not feel comfortable proceeding with more procedures because of the concerns I already had, including being told that the Botox recommended by Dr. Desai interfered with the fillers. I wanted my concerns addressed and understood before considering any additional treatments. During that same process, I asked Dr. Behr to review and compare my before-and-after photos because my results looked nothing like the photos I had been shown or expected. Dr. Behr refused to look at my photos or compare them. It was after this that the medical assistant made the statement that "everyone in the Central Valley knows that it doesn't last," which was extremely concerning to me given the amount of money I had invested. I also asked the office manager, Kristy, for a copy of the documentation showing my concerns from each of my visits. Kristy stated that she would send those records to me through email. To this day, I have never received the documentation she said she would provide. The documents that were provided to me did not include any statements or notes showing that I had expressed my concerns during my visits. I did everything I could to give the office an opportunity to address my concerns. Instead of feeling heard, I felt dismissed. After spending $3,825, I expected professional care, honest communication, and accountability when I expressed that I was unhappy with my results. Because of my experience, I cannot recommend this practice. I am sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision before investing a significant amount of money. I am requesting a full refund of the $3,825 I paid. Given my experience, the concerns I raised throughout the process, and the outcome I received, I believe a full refund is warranted because of the results did not reflect the expectations and information that were discussed prior to treatment.
