The burn mark 8 weeks after treatment,

I received a BBL treatment here in December of 2024, and was left with a blistered burn in the middle of my cheek that turned into a very dark and noticeable mark. I went in for a follow-up 8 weeks later to discuss what had happened, and Heather told me that she thought the crystal tip on the machine may have overheated, as I was one of three people that had been burned in the past two months. I was given a tube of lightening cream to apply to the area, and it was suggested that I return for further BBL treatments and/or a chemical peel to lighten the burn mark. I am obviously disappointed by the results, and the idea of further investing in treatments here in an attempt to fix a problem that they created seems unwise.

I can't say enough wonderful things about the MedSpa at Plastic Surgery Specialists. Nurse Heather has been my go to neurotoxin injector for years! She makes me feel comfortable and really takes the time to listen to my concerns. I highly recommend booking a complimentary consultation with nurse Heather! She will guide you to the most beneficial treatment plan and over time you will see major improvements in your overall skincare appearance. Also - this MedSpa carries many of the Skin Better Medical Grade skincare options which are SO amazing to supplement with injectable & Microneedling treatments. Thank you to the admins and nurses at PSS!

I've been going to PSS for almost 20 years. In 2021 I had a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Douglas and his work exceeded my expectations. I always see Emily in the MedSpa for my Botox. She's fantastic, I always look great and I never have to worry about "hooding" which I have a tendency to do. Front desk staff is courteous and efficient.

Promised refund that never happened, and the amounts are incorrect.

She does natural, soft Botox that just makes you look refreshed and gives your lips the light and refined "oomph" that they were missing. She takes the natural approach. She has used the BBL laser in "veiny" areas around my nose that have virtually disappeared. She is honest about what you need and the likely outcome. She also does extremely thorough skin checks. I have seen her for the last three years and will follow her wherever she goes. Taryn, at the front desk, is wonderful too! She provides waxing, etc., and the friendliest greeting when you enter the premise. Highly recommend this establishment! Also, parking is easy which is always a plus!

I get compliments daily on my lashes, and it's not uncommon that 3 weeks later they're still in such great shape which I think is a testament to her meticulous application. She's been super accommodating of my full time working parent schedule, which means so much to me as I often struggle to fit in "me time". And she's shared other local professionals and restaurants, just going above and beyond to make my life better. I'll follow her wherever she goes and continue to have a great experience with her at Sieber! I would wholeheartedly recommend taryn's work as a happy loyal customer!!

I asked him why he shoes to recommend his patients to Dr Goodman. He said because she was extremely capable and cared deeply about her patients. Since then I have found this to be true. I went to Dr Goodman not knowing what to do...all I knew was that my face was drooping and looking in the mirror did not make me happy. While I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of a facelift I was open to anything. Dr Goodman was so open and honest about all my options and actually suggested that a facelift was not the best choice. Ultimately she recommended filler to smooth out my sags and wrinkles. The filler lasts about 18 months, is much more cost effective, non invasive and is a natural substance. I will tell you, the procedure took less than an hour. Dr Goodman did the procedure herself and was absolutely meticulous. The results are amazing and I could not be happier. I am so happy to be in such good hands. If you are considering any cosmetic surgery (or reconstructive surgery for that matter) I strongly recommend Dr Cynthia Goodman in Larkspur!

I had originally come in to do ultherapy but upon assessing my face, she made a different recommendation. I entrusted in her advise and I surely wasn't disappointed. Her precision, patience, and care was above and beyond. I feel 10 years younger thanks to Dr. Goodman! I will definitely be back. Dr Cynthia Goodman is absolutely incredible. I give her 7 stars if I could.

Honestly I would give 10 stars if I could!! Both for Dr. Hvistendahl himself, as well as for the whole experience and group of people I worked with. A friend recommended Dr. Hvistendahl for my breast augmentation, since she had just gone to him and thought he was amazing. So I looked him up, did a lot of research, read reviews, etc. and decided to schedule a consultation. And imagine my pleasant surprise when I found PSS was doing a special study (related to placement of a numbing shot, or something along those lines), and if you participated you got $2000 off. From the very beginning I was impressed. First I talked to Renee to schedule and talk about pricing, etc. Great communication, extremely helpful, very friendly. Holly, who I met when I got there, was amazing as well. Very nice, friendly, and made me feel very comfortable and well-informed through the entire process. She was there with me at my consultation, post-op, and actual surgery day. Helped me feel more comfortable having someone I recognized there with me...especially on surgery morning! Everyone else was great too...my surgery nurse, the front desk ladies, etc. As to the actual office. It has a fancy spa type feel. Very comfortable chairs and couches, nice décor, and always makes me feel calm somehow. Also very clean. I also like how they don't seem to overbook appointments. Only one time have I had someone else waiting there in the waiting room at the same time as me. And it's not for lack of clients...I know that they are a very busy practice. It makes me feel like I'm at some exclusive place, and not just a faceless person in a crowd of patients, if that makes sense. They know how to make everyone feel important. Now to Dr. Hvistendahl. I HIGHLY recommend him! So easy to talk to, very cheerful, professional, funny, and comfortable to be around. (About 30 seconds after he walked in the room I knew for sure I wanted him to do my surgery.) Also very honest. I like how he gave his opinion, but also listened very closely to what I wanted. I took in a picture of what I wanted, thinking that it would be hard to match exactly....but pleasant surprise....he really did match the picture almost exactly!!! Very VERY skilled doctor. My scars are also tiny and very well hidden. :) One thing that especially impressed me was how after the surgery they don't just "drop" you since you're paid and done. Amazing and thorough post-op attention. I had accidently given a wrong phone number, so didn't get calls after the surgery. I thought maybe no one would think anything of it because they have surgeries every week. But my first post-op appointment the first thing the Dr. asked was what number they had, because it was definitely wrong! I guess him and Holly had called several times and were worried since they couldn't get ahold of me. I was very impressed how they really cared. Like I said earlier, not just a faceless person in a crowd of patients. For any procedures, without a doubt I would go here again. I highly recommend Dr. Hvistendahl and Plastic Surgery Specialists! Add-on: Went to Dr. Hvistendahl for botox, and full stars for that as well!!!! He took his time explaining the whole process to me, and what he was doing. I got even better results than the last place I went for botox, and next time I get botox I will be coming back here! Arched my eyebrows perfectly, and gave me a follow-up appointment to check the overall results, where he added a tiny bit more for free. They charge per CC, which means you're not getting watered down stuff, or skimped on the amount. Great experience, and like I said in my other review, I highly recommend coming here!

I explained how hesitant I was unless she was confident I would not get specific adverse results. She absolutely assured me I would not. Well, I paid a bunch of money to look horrific and afraid to leave the house because it was such a botched job. Dr. Serebrakian had me come in to talk to him and was the most arrogant, condescending, jerk I've ever had the displeasure of giving my money to. Both of them kept offering me only MORE Botox. That's it. REALLY?!? I already got more than I SPECIFICALLY asked for and a godawful job of it; face frozen in some areas and over-expressive in all the wrong ones and was bruised up all over. I'm telling you, it was such a nightmare. That doctor is an offensive narcissistic money-hungry jerk. Absolutely not for one second had any intention of listening to me after leading me to believe I was coming in for some resolution or comfort. As a matter of fact, he didn't let me say two words and refused to even look at the pics I had which spoke 1,000 words about the crap job his employee did. WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THEM. If anything goes wrong at this place, BEWARE! This guy DOES NOT have his customer's backs and becomes defensive and dismissive. Would never recommend anyone like that, no matter their skill or experience.
