I wrote in October after having a consult with Dr. Pickart for a Blepharoplasty and I gave him 5 stars then and now after having my procedure done 2 weeks ago, I still give him 5 stars! I absolutely picked the right doctor to do this; he knew how nervous I was but gave me complete confidence before the procedure along with of course being honest about any possible complications that could happen, even though none of those had happened with his patients! Fortunately all went well and even though I still have more healing to go, I'm right on track and know that I'll love the final outcome. He and his staff couldn't be more friendly, professional and helpful! So glad I made the decision to do this procedure and to have Dr. Pickart be the one to do it. read more

This was by far the easiest surgery I have had. I explained concerns waking up in the past. None of those things I was worried about happened. I am more than impressed with my results too. I would highly recommend DR. Pickart to anyone looking for a skilled plastic surgeon. read more

Hands down the best of the best, from the office staff, the surgery center to Dr. Pickart himself. He takes so much time to explain everything to you, what to expect, makes himself available if you have any questions or concerns. He also goes the extra mile and gives you a direct email and phone number to talk to him if need be. He has also called me a few times to check and see how I'm doing. His office staff is just as caring and helpful. Highly recommend Dr.Pickart! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Pickart!!!! he is highly skilled, very upfront (he even had the ethics to tell me I didn't need a procedure I was ready to book) and thoroughly explains every step of the process. Today I went in for a consultation and ended up getting some filler. I've been to two or three cosmetic dermatologists and I've never had the results I had from one visit with him. I immediately booked another procedure with him and I am looking forward to it. I cannot recommend him highly enough! If you're looking for a highly skilled cosmetic surgeon, whose rates are extremely reasonable, with a great bedside matter and a beautiful, clean office, look no further call Dr. Pickart! read more

I got Juvederm lip filler done by Sara Joseph, and was recommended by a friend. The office environment overall is awesome and super welcoming, albeit not the most professional. The receptionist is a doll. However, the quality and professionalism of my procedure is what I care about most, of course. Unfortunately, my lips turned out absolutely asymmetrical, and I don't mean during the healing period. Swelling and asymmetry are typical for the first few weeks or even months, but after 3 weeks I called with concern. They did not look natural- I had two visible bumps on my upper lip. I ended up going in to have Sara check it out. She said my options were to 1. Remove the filler via a dissolvent, which would likely dissolve all of it (later learned that's NOT true, a skilled doctor can do this easily) or 2. Add more to try to even it out. I had to come back for another appointment after that, which was a little frustrating since I didn't want people seeing me. The one good thing about having to wear a mask, lol. So I went back and she added more. I will say that Sara did a great job taking care of me when I started feeling queezy. But then she went to get even more filler from the back, and I started wondering whether the plan was going well....there was no original plan to use more. Anyways, they were worse after the second visit. Again, the lumps. Hard to the touch and stuck out even more when I smiled. I was embarrassed and couldn't take pictures smiling. I let them heal and then went to Dr. McCall who was able to target the lumps and remove just those while still saving the filler in other areas. Thank God for her. What a waste of hundreds of dollars. Go to a plastic surgeon for your injections, not a nurse. :/ read more

See all

I called them to make an appointment for a consultation for a bbl. The lady on the phone said they don't do Brazilian butt lifts. I became bamboozled because they advertise it on their website lol. I explained to her what I want and she just disregarded me and responded "Brazilian butt lifts are extremely dangerous and risky." I told her that's not necessarily true as I got my first one in Culver City a few years ago. So confusing please don't promote false advertising on your website. read more

I got jawline countering done with filler along with a few other things and OMG!!! Sara is a god!! She made me look so much more in proportion and incredible!!!!! Definitely coming back when these wear off!! read more

Dr Pickart and his entire team are amazing! I went in for horrible skin issues and just wanting a more youthful appearance. I got the first compliment on my skin EVER at 38 years old a month later!! They took years off my face! read more

I recently moved into the area and needed to find a place that does injections. I found this office based on the reviews and was definitely not disappointed. I got an appointment the next day after calling for Botox. Sara is seriously amazing!! She is so gently, told me everything in advance, and got all the areas I was concern with. Highly recommend her ! read more

I give Dr. Michael Pickart 5 stars only because their is no option for 10 stars. He is one of the top plastic surgeons in the United States, if not the best. He is pleasant, funny and the has over the top professional surgical skills. His total experienced team only compliments his innate abilities to be the best of the best. Dr Michael Pickart deserves 10 stars because he is beyond Great!! read more

I just finished my post-surgery follow-up with Dr. Pickart. HE IS THE BEST! The surgery was easy, recovery has been exactly as he described, and my forehead looks fabulous! I still have a bit of redness and a tiny scar, but with some post-op instructions/massaging, it should disappear. Dr. Pickart is fantastic. I'll definitely be back in the future, should I require cosmetic enhancements. read more

I have been going to Pickart Plastic Surgery for years. Everyone in the office is very friendly and professional, especially Sara Joseph. She has been amazing at determining what my needs are and providing me only the most professional and qualified services just right for me. When I see Sara, I ask her what her recommendations are for me. I trust her and have not been disappointed. There has never been a reason to go anywhere else, and my experience is not just about one or two visits. I probably see Sara more like 5-6 visits a year. That is a lot of visits over several years, but usually for subtle touchups that keep me looking ageless. My look is very natural, and I surprise those who inquire about my age. I would highly recommend Sara Joseph to everyone - she does not disappoint! Jill R read more

Dr. Pickart and his staff are exceptional. Yaeko is so pleasant and definitely makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. Theresa is such a sweetheart, as well. I've had two procedures performed in the office, and she was extremely comforting. Her presence was greatly appreciated. Now Dr. Pickart...how fortunate are we to have him in Ventura County?? He's professional, thorough, caring, and has a great sense of humor. He does beautiful work, and I recommend him to anyone interested in cosmetic procedures. Dr. Pickart is a gem, and he and his staff go above and beyond to help you feel and look your very best. read more

Dr Pickart has been a family member's plastic surgeon for a few years now. He is amazing! Whenever I have taken her for a surgery, not only does he give great bedside manner to her, but he really makes a connection with the person waiting for the patient! He made sure to explain everything and then come out after to say how it went, etc. AND- he called personally the next day to see how everything was going. *Having seen her through a few surgeries now, I am blown away by these things about Dr. Pickart: 1) His bedside manner 2) His perfectionism 3) His availability for the patient (e-mail, in-person, phone) 4) His genuine concern for his patient(s) 5) His sense of ethics 6) What an honest to goodness great guy he is, just really great. 7) His never-ending passion to advocate for his patients. * *My aunt survived breast cancer twice. It left her with a breast that needed major reconstruction. I went with her to that first consultation, on through 3 surgeries. Dr. Pickart was so fired up and passionate about making her insurance company cover the repairs. She had waited a long time, trying to save money for it because she had been told by the insurance company that they would not cover it! Dr Pickart made sure the initial surgery was covered and the revisions that needed to happen to get that breast to be perfect! He will also get your insurance company to cover repairs after major weight loss. Sooooo- when I wanted to get a little help with my aging (because I am 40 now!), I went to see Dr P. I live in Pasadena, and it is TOTALLY worth the drive! He was so warm and thoughtful with me. I have acne scars that are difficult to treat, he spent a long time talking options with me and showing me pictures. I never felt rushed. Even though I have to wait on anything big $$ that may really help, he did not try and talk me into anything small that may only possibly help, he said he'll let me know if any fillers prove to be more effective. :-) So I had a little Botox, done by him quickly, and bought some Obaji Nu-Derm hoping it'll save me from the bigger work I can't afford now. (Lasers) That's our life story- I just really love Dr P and his staff. Mostly from how much my family member loves them and how great I KNOW they are through all her work done there. read more

I cannot say enough about Dr. Pickart Plastic Surgery. The level of comfort and care I received from Dr. Pickart and his staff from day one was beyond expectation, they were extremely professional, well organized, compassionate, and most of all very knowledgeable. Dr. Pickart's genuine concern for patients is prevalent as he spent a great deal of time explaining my procedure in depth with me as he made me feel 100% confident in going forward with my procedure. My results are exceptional as there are not enough well-deserved stars to leave here! read more

After losing 80 pounds, I had rolls of loose skin. Carrying that extra skin was almost as bad as the fat. I decided to look into having the skin removed and spoke with Dr. Pickart. He spent an hour with me explaining all of my options and not in Dr. speak .. simple explanations that a layman could understand. I went ahead with the surgery... I look awesome !! But, I did have some complications (not because of anything Dr. Pickart did) First I had a reaction to a medication.. I called Dr. Pickart on his personal cell phone at 4:00 pm on a Friday (the day before 4th of July). He personally answered the phone and spoke with me regularly throughout the weekend. He got me all taken care of. He and his staff are beyond awsome !! They called to check on me between appointments and they were all supportive and patient with all of my questions. If you're thinking about plastic surgery, this is your man .. so happy I chose Dr. Pickart. read more

I saw Sara for Kybella and my experience was great! She listened to me about why I thought I needed Kybella, and gave me her truthful, honest opinion without trying to talk me into it or out of it. She was very thorough explaining the process and took her time. I felt super comfortable and was extremely happy with the results! Thank you Sara! read more

I recently went to Dr. Pickart to have a cyst removed from my face. He did a beautiful job and my scar is almost non-visible. I was hesitant at first, but after seeing some of his work that he did on two friends of mine my worries disappeared. I am so pleased with his work and I am now sending my daughter to him. He is an amazing plastic surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. read more

Sara was fabulous and very knowledgeable on the product she used on me! Definitely will be returning

I met Dr. Pickart shortly after he moved to Ventura County and was amazed at how comfortable I felt speaking with him about post bariatric surgery reconstruction. I had shed 250 lbs and everything was sagging. I did not feel the same level of comfort with the other plastic surgeons I interviewed. With others I felt like I was being "sold". With Dr. Pickart I truly felt like this was my choice with his recommendations as to the surgical details of course. He did a circumferential body lift on me as one surgery, and then brachioplasty, a breast lift and augmentation as my second surgery. He was kind, gentle, accommodating and caring. Now, several years later I am about to call his office and make an appointment for some injectables to deal with some of the facial wrinkles etc of a 70 year old woman who just refuses to grow up. I know I will be treated with kindness, compassion, care and receive the best advice and treatment. read more

Dr. Pickart is a great surgeon. I am very happy with his work. He and his staff make you feel very comfortable and are very pleasant.

Dr. Pickart did an amazing job on my breast reduction. I went from a 38J to a 38D. I have no more pain from having thoracic outlet syndrome, and I couldn't be happier. He listens and takes everything you have concerns about and talks to you about them and makes sure you understand. He is friendly and kind and makes sure that you are taken care of. He is amazing!! His staff is wonderful and friendly too! I would highly recommend him for anything that you would want/need done. read more

My daughter had skin removal surgery three weeks ago .It was a ten hour surgery .Dr Pickart had a nurse call me every two hours with updates from surgery room.The surgery and results are amazing .I would totally recommend DrPickart and his wonderful staff. read more

Sara is Amazing! She helped me with my facial lines in a very natural way! The results are just what I wanted and without bruising! Sometimes life is very hard and it was showing on my face, plus I'm getting older but I don't have to look like it! Everyone was very nice! I would only say to tell them to go really easy on the Botox, seriously. read more

Dr. Pickart is one of the smartest surgeons I know--he's a perfectionist in the best sort of way. A great plastic surgeon has to have three things: 1) A deep understanding of the pathophysiology, 2) Excellent technical skills, and 3) A eye for aesthetics. Dr. Pickart has these in abundance, and excellent bedside manner to boot. I wouldn't hesitate so refer friends and family to him. read more

Dr Pickart is amazing as is his whole staff. They made me feel comfortable and at ease right away, which is not easy to do as i suffer from white coat syndrome (even if they don't have the darn coat on!) I have never met a Doctor that was so compassionate and understanding. He truly understands what the patient needs and is very thorough on his explanations and your options. His heart is definitely in the right place. I had a major weight/inches loss recently and he did not make me feel badly about how i looked, in fact it was just the opposite. We even discussed how we could get my Insurance to cover some of the surgery. Everyone in the office is so friendly. Sara is wonderful, very calm and understanding. Terry is a great Aesthetician and takes her time. Theresa is so very genuine, compassionate, supportive and understanding, you could not ask for more from her. Yaeko is so friendly and warm, perfect when you walk in. I cannot say enough about Pickart Plastic Surgery. If you need anything from facials, to injectables, to surgery, don't go anywhere else.
