    The first treatment was painless and the result was amazing; nobody could tell that I had even had the treatment and it makes me look years younger.

    Copied the text: Dr. Chasan was amazing! I was considering another surgeon, whom my insurance had…read morereferred. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Chasan, since my insurance could not do the surgery for another couple months. Once I stepped in Ranch and Coast, Dr. C explained his approach, I canceled with the other doctor, even though my insurance was going to pay for a large portion. Dr. C spent quite a while with me, answered all of my questions. I always feel like once you get in front of a Dr they make you rush, you end up, leaving with more questions and then answers. That was not the case at Ranch and Coast! I immediately felt a huge relief, and knew it was going to be a great outcome. Jennifer, from the surgery scheduling department really made me feel comfortable. And made the process extremely easy. I was dealing with two ruptured silicone implants from a previous surgeon, and was dealing with a lot of pain and infection. So getting me booked ASAP was a huge part of this as well. I was booked for surgery within 10 days of my consult, which was amazing! I was up and feeling great the next day, and they were already looking perfect! Dr Chasan minimized my previous scars, and did not require making it anymore. That was another reason I chose not to go to the other surgeon. It's been exactly 11 days since my surgery, I am so unbelievably happy! Not only am I feeling so much better from the removal of ruptured silicone, but they look so great. Love the cleavage and the way Doctor Chasan does breast surgery. I would highly recommend, and I already have. Two of my girlfriends are in the process of scheduling consults, after seeing how great mine look! I can confidently say he's one of the best surgeons in San Diego!

    I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Chasan in January 2024 after researching surgeons for nearly a year. I…read morefound him on Reddit and was initially drawn to his specialization in the "Barbie-style" nose, which is surprisingly hard to find in the U.S. He also had overwhelmingly positive reviews, and I couldn't find any meaningful negative feedback, which gave me a lot of confidence. Since I'm not local, most communication was done by phone and email. His staff was initially very responsive and helpful, and my consultation, though brief, felt aligned. Based on that, I scheduled surgery the same day. Things started to feel off at my in-person pre-op appointment the day before surgery. I expected to meet Dr. Chasan for the first time, but instead was seen only by a nurse who seemed disengaged. The appointment consisted of photos and basic instructions. When I asked if I could meet the doctor, I was told he was unavailable. This made me uneasy, but with surgery the next day and already paid for, I felt I had no choice but to move forward. The morning of surgery, I was brought back and expected to proceed without seeing the surgeon. I had to specifically ask to meet with him before anything began. That conversation was brief but reassuring. We aligned on the aesthetic goals, which gave me some relief. The surgery itself went smoothly, and Dr. Chasan did call me the evening after surgery to check in. I am overall satisfied with my result. However, I do have a slight inverted V, which is concerning, as I worry it may worsen over time and potentially require correction in the future. I'm hopeful that being two years out it won't worsen, however I haven't been given the opportunity to speak with Dr. Chasan to ask about this. Unfortunately, the post-operative care is where my experience completely broke down. I had a scheduled post-op phone appointment with Dr. Chasan that he never attended- he never called. When I reached out to the office, I was not connected with him and was instead put on the phone with a nurse. I never actually spoke with the surgeon. I later followed up via email and was told that I was the one who failed to follow up, which was simply not true. After correcting this, the staff member apologized. Despite that, I have still never heard from Dr. Chasan again. For a procedure as significant as rhinoplasty, the lack of follow-up and accountability was extremely disappointing. While I am generally happy with my result, the absence of proper post-operative care and communication is something I cannot overlook.

Dr. Gupta and his team have been lovely since the moment I walked in for my consultation. I've been treated with respect and kindness throughout this whole process. Getting your boobs done is a pretty personal and intimate thing! As for my results, I'm very happy! I LOVE my new additions. They look and feel amazing, and most importantly, I feel like they've always been mine, just simply part of me. I started flat and deflated. I'm active, love to lift weights, dance and move my body freely and my implants haven't restricted me one bit. I highly recommend Verve Plastic Surgery.

Let me tell you when I walked in here I had never been more scared in my life and when I walked out I have never felt so confident in my life! From the front staff treating me like family to Dr. Gupta himself keeping it real and humorous, I felt like family and never once had anxiety. They would talk me through every process every step of the way. Dr. Gupta would greet me with a smile even on surgery day and genuinely ask how I was feeling. No one was pretentious, and everyone made me feel very comfortable. anytime I text with a question they would get back to me within 24 hours. Thank you, Erika and Dr. Gupta for changing my life.

First impression is that it caters to a more affluent clientele. The location is in a good area, and the office was very clean and stylish.

My friend called me in tears and asked if I could please call and cancel her spot, but keep mine so I wouldn't cancel for both of us. As a business owner myself, I understand how important this is, so I explained the situation and confirmed that I would still come alone. The clinic said, "No problem." When I arrived, I was taken straight in for the procedure. I asked the price per unit and was told it's $11 with a friend, or $12 if you come alone. After finishing 60 units, I went to pay and was told that because I came without my friend, the price was actually $13 per unit. I was charged $760. No one warned me in advance that the price would change so drastically because my friend had an unavoidable medical emergency. When they asked me to come back in two weeks, I said "no." For the difference of $60-180, they lost a client. They got $760 once, but I will never return and will not recommend them to anyone. I believe this is unfair and unprofessional treatment of customers.

One month later, I had an exchange surgery. Unfortunately, I then left Dr. Arya and traveled to Cedars Sinai in LA, where I experienced a botched and disfiguring procedure performed by another plastic surgeon. I underwent three surgeries there, resulting in one breast sagging almost to my belly button and the other near my collarbone. Thankfully, I returned to Dr. Arya, and she graciously agreed to fix the extensive mess I had gotten myself into. On Oct 17, 2025, I had my final reconstruction surgery, and the results are truly incredible! Dr. Arya exceeded my expectations; she is a remarkably talented artist and plastic surgeon. My breasts now look natural, symmetrical and lifted. I no longer look like a monster! I am very picky, and I've met with over 15 plastic surgeons during my cancer journey. Many turned me away due to the complexity of my case and offered poor results, said I had to go flat or offered procedures like the latissimus flap. In my household, we say Dr. Arya "under promises and over performs." She is not only an exceptional surgeon but also a wonderful human being, kind, caring, and compassionate. Scripps is truly fortunate to have her on their team! An added bonus: she advocated to save my areolas and nipples during my mastectomy, despite being told beforehand that it wouldn't be possible. I woke up to a gift, my nipples and areolas were spared! Her office is easy to get ahold of, often replying within minutes through MyChart. She even went above and beyond by helping me choose a surgeon and helping on the decision whether to undergo radiation. All of her nurses are equally wonderful and caring. I cannot recommend Dr. Arya enough; she is a gifted surgeon and a genuinely kind person. Thank you, Dr. Arya, for giving me my confidence back and making me feel normal again after cancer!

    Dr. Arya did an excellent surgery. She is very sensitive to women's needs in breast surgery.read more

Unfortunately, I am deeply unhappy with the results and the total lack of accountability regarding my concerns. My cheeks are noticeably uneven; one side remains significantly larger than the other. Now that over two years have passed since my procedure, I have developed deep irregularities (uneven and lumpy texture) across my cheeks and under my eyes. Instead of a smooth transition, the texture is uneven and looks unnatural. The lip lift left a very prominent and obvious scar underneath my nose. It is not the hidden or discreet result I was led to believe. Despite the facelift, I have an excessive amount of wrinkles around my neck, chin, and mouth area. As time goes on, the hollows and unevenness are becoming more pronounced rather than settling. The cost of these procedures was incredibly high. I feel that the premium prices patients pay are for his massive marketing and social media production, not for superior surgical skill. For the amount of money spent, one expects precision and personalized care, neither of which I received. When I met with Dr. Karam via Zoom four months post-op to express my dissatisfaction, he was dismissive. He refused to guarantee any revision work to correct these clear issues. It is now clear that this is a mass production practice where the focus is on bringing in new clients through polished social media photos rather than ensuring the long-term quality of the work. I deeply regret my decision. I am now forced to seek out another surgeon to perform an expensive revision to fix the damage. Please do your research beyond social media before choosing this clinic.
