    Dr. Lavey is an outstanding plastic surgeon whose 40+ years of experience are evident in every…read moreaspect of his work. His approach is highly individualized, with careful attention to each patient's unique features and goals rather than a standardized treatment plan. He demonstrates exceptional precision and a refined artistic eye, producing results that are both natural and aesthetically balanced. His ability to combine technical expertise with a nuanced understanding of facial and body harmony truly sets him apart. In addition to his clinical excellence, Dr. Lavey is warm, attentive, and deeply committed to patient care. He takes the time to ensure clear communication and alignment on expectations, which creates a strong sense of trust and confidence throughout the process. His office staff reflects the same level of professionalism--welcoming, respectful, and highly organized--contributing to a seamless and comfortable experience. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Dr. Lavey. His expertise, integrity, and outstanding results make him exceptional in his field. I could not be happier with his brilliant work!

    My second procedure with Dr. Lavey was almost two weeks ago and I couldn't be happier! From the…read morebeginning, Dr. Lavey was so generous with his time and I never felt like he was rushing the appointment. I asked his opinion of what might be best for my face and he suggested a brow lift and a facelift which included my neck. The thought of the brow lift initially scared me so I was reticent and thought perhaps I shouldn't do it. What I loved was that Dr. Lavey did not push me into the brow lift it at all. After another consult I decided to proceed with the brow lift in addition to my facelift and I'm so glad I did. What a huge difference. I was given a prescription for a strong pain medication to use after the procedure if I wanted, but I never needed anything other than over the counter Tylenol. All that worrying was for not because there was no pain with my procedures! It's more of a weird feeling because things are tight and numb. Incredible! Thank you thank you to Dr. Lavey and his staff for making me feel pretty again.

    This is an update on my skin tightening at Elite MD. I have been going for post surgery T shape…read moreskin tightening on my abdomen. I've had sessions with different members of the team and no matter who I see, the experience and results are always excellent. I can see that my skin looks visibly tighter and more lifted, and I've noticed an overall smoother, firmer texture. One of my favorite things about this treatment is the minimal downtime, so I can go get my treatment and be back to my day. The sessions themselves are comfortable, the warmth can be a little spicy but nothing I cannot handle and the staff always makes sure I am doing ok, checking temperature constantly. I have to say, this clinic has such professional, welcoming, and detail‑oriented people working there. I know I am in good hands and I really enjoy my experience every time I am there. I absolutely would recommend T‑Shape to anyone looking for non‑invasive skin tightening or maintenance.

    I normally don't leave reviews, but I felt like my experience needed to be shared…read more So... I chose Elite MD in San Ramon for my breast augmentation because I knew about Dr. Bansel and his wife a while back when Latisse first came out. I liked how they specialized in melanated skin and took pride in their work. So many, MANY years later when I decided to finally get my breast augmentation- they were the only ones I trusted with my surgery. I didn't even bother to Google anyone else to be honest. Once I looked up their information, I made the appointment right away. About The Staff - Everyone I interacted with was patient, kind, understanding, and actually listened to what I had to say. No one tried to sway me to change my mind or what kind of surgery to get. Although they do tell you the risks of everything of course. But there is always someone to call or text 24hrs a day if you have any concerns with payment or healing. About The Doctor - Dr. Bansal reminds me of that really cool uncle that asks you how school is going, or work, and wants to make sure you're doing okay when you go to family parties. And if you're not doing what you're supposed to, He Will Definitely Know! Lol. For example, if you're supposed to be resting, eating better/healthier, keeping stress down, as well as inflammation... he will definitely have this talk with you. I took it as, he wants you to get the best results possible from your procedure. And really... out of life, period. And he's always smiling and says hi even if you don't meet with him that day. I've been in some doctor's offices where they won't even make eye contact with you unless you have an appointment to see them that day. Side note: after my surgery, he told me what he found and had to do a little extra work so that I wouldn't have to come back for an extra procedure. He didn't charge me for this extra work, as it wasn't discussed... but he did it, because it needed to be done and my breasts wouldn't look right. Plus, he's a perfectionist - Which I Love! About Me - My mother in from the Philippines , and my father is from Mississippi ... hence the melanated skin. I was a very small/droopy B and I breast feed one child who is a teenager now. Each breast received 505cc of the "Gummi bear" , high profile implant. (I don't exactly know my new size because I haven't been NEW bra shopping as of yet.) How do I feel about them? I feel I might like them more than I should, LOL. Every time I look at them, I giggle to myself because I can't believe I had the courage to finally do something I've wanted since the early 2000's. It's almost like Lasik... after you get it done, you say "Why in the world didn't I get this done sooner?" So, yes... I'm extremely satisfied with my results. The Healing - Omgoodness! The anesthesia lasted about a week after surgery! I thought I could clean the house, walk the dog, do all the things you're Not Supposed to. Don't- Dr. Bansal will know. Lol. Just follow doctor's orders, and you will be fine. Plus, they send prescriptions to your pharmacy and provide a list of supplements to aid with the healing process, Which Helped A Lot! Conclusion - Since the surgery, I've ran into other females with similar procedures.. I would share my experience, and some shared Horror Stories! Everything from: "I didn't get what I wanted"... to "my doctor never explained this to me"... and "I didn't know all of my options"... All this... While I'm trying to get my jaw off the floor and not make a face. Of course you try to make them feel better and say, "but they do look nice!" They just shake their heads and say "Girl, no." So, with that being said... I give Elite MD San Ramon, Staff, and especially Dr. Bansal (aka Dr. B) 5 STARS... 10/10... would do it all over again... definitely recommend. Lastly, I almost forgot... CONS - They don't have an on-site after care suite to stay in. I was prepared to stay there, eat meals, and be waited on because my husband is not the care-taking type. But it all worked out in the end.

    This review is much overdue, so please forgive. We didn't know where to turn when our son…read moredeveloped severe abdominal pain. He was driving and collapsed forward in pain and could not regain a sitting position. It took 6-8 weeks of testing, imaging, medications and overwhelming frustration and concern. We ended up in Dr. Gardiner's office where he carefully examined the data, including approximately 50 needle samplings through our son's liver to the sight of a 2 in. mass. After Dr. Gartiner's review, he looked our 22 yr old son in the eye and said, Let's just get it out and evaluate the entire mass. My son was relived. The surgery had many complications since the mass had grown around the vena cava -- one wrong move and he could have bled out on the table. The diagnosis came in stages, took 6 weeks, and was found to be an extremely rare type of "tumor", an infection may be a better term. We were referred to the appropriate doctor/medical discipline and he was on Big Guns antibiotics for months. I give Dr. Gardiner credit for saving our son's life -- it was really close! He was a guiding light (BTW: SRV Hospital gets a D- for their part -- refused to give him any attention, not even water which was approved as was food, and the nurses just ignored him. We went to the Ombudsman who was nice, but the nursing staff... something very wrong!

    I had my first visit the other day, and find his office staff very professional. The surgery he…read morerecommends is not intrusive and healing time is much faster then the conventional surgery of cutting you open. He takes special care to talk to you about your medical history. I have a reaction to most drugs and he seemed to work with me regarding this. It's not that I'm looking forward to any surgery, but he put me at ease and I'm not as apprehensive as I previously was. UPDATE: I had the surgery and there were 3 hernias that needed repair. The doctor and staff did a great job. The surgery lasted about 3 hours, more or less. The pain was under control, however I did get very sick on the narcotics they gave me. I can't handle narcotics, so that wasn't really their fault. It is the second day and although I spend much time resting, I think each day gets better. I will continue to recommend Dr. Gardiner as a very good surgeon, and If I or my husband ever need surgery again, this is the doctor of our choice.
