My son had surgery in January of this year. He had one previous surgery when he was in highschool…read moreand that did heal. He found another small one late last fall. We got in relatively quickly for our initial visit. We were also lucky that he found it pretty early and compared to what I've heard other patients experience his was a more mild case. Though, my son didn't want to go thru what he went thru before. The wound vac, missing school, all that just to have the problem return a couple years later. I really can't think of any suggestions for improvement. Dr. Sternberg is very friendly and super knowledgeable, passionate about helping patients get healed. His staff also perfect. They use an app, and you can message them directly anytime you need help. Anytime you're concerned something might not be right. Seriously the best experience I've ever had with a doctor's office. We are lucky to just live in the South Bay, so we were able to have a short drive home after his post surgery appointment the next day. I would definitely recommend anyone flying to spend several days, maybe a week in SF. If you're driving south I'd definitely recommend you take 280, much less bumpy than 101. I can't recommend this office enough. Even after he was all healed Dr. Sternberg said "once a patient always a patient." If we need anything just to call.

Dr. Sternberg went above and beyond for our son. We were traveling out of state after two…read morepreviously failed surgeries, wondering if our son's life would ever be normal. The care, expertise, and support--before, during, and after--were remarkable. The surgery was a success, and we are so glad our Atlanta doctor recommended Dr. Sternberg. His staff, especially Amaya, felt like family by the end of the process. If you are questioning whether to travel to San Francisco, CA, to see an unfamiliar doctor for such an invasive surgery, book the flight, hotel, and do it. You will not regret your decision. You can begin living a better quality of life after the surgery and recovery. We will forever be grateful to God for giving Dr. Sternberg the knowledge and passion to change people's lives.

She is incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and really takes her time. She listened carefully to what I wanted and was very detailed throughout the entire treatment. I really appreciate how natural and conservative her approach is, and you can tell she truly cares about the quality of her work. What impressed me just as much was her follow-up. She personally checked in with me afterward to see how I was healing and has been extremely responsive whenever I've had questions. Being an injector myself, I know how important that level of patient care is, and Sally truly goes above and beyond. I'm so glad I chose her and would absolutely recommend her!

After three previous…read morerhinoplasties and dealing with my overly crooked nose and deviated septum, I expected him to tell me--like other plastic surgeons had over the years--to leave my flawed nose alone. To my surprise, after his assistant took pictures from all angles and he examined my nose, he said he could help me and that I was a good candidate! Two months ago, I underwent revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim, and I'm extremely happy with the results. He guided me every step of the way regarding what to expect from the surgery. Firstly, he informed me that my nose would be swollen and appear "big" for several months and that it might take up to 1-2 years to settle into its expected shape. He also mentioned that some asymmetry would remain, but that it would be significantly improved. Even while still swollen, I can see a huge improvement, and I've already received compliments from three friends about my new nose. I can breathe better now and have less sinus discharge. Most importantly, I no longer feel self-conscious about my nose. Each day, it seems to be getting a bit smaller, which is exciting. The renditions he provided of what my new nose would look like closely match how my nose appeared right after surgery before the swelling began. I would recommend Dr. Kim to anyone unhappy with their nose. I only wish I had found him sooner.

Where to even begin? I LOVE Dr B and his office crew. Dr Bermudez is not only exceptionally skilled…read moreat his craft, his practice is run with an exceptional level of integrity andd transparency. He leans just a bit more conservative and natural in his aesthetic sensibilities vs that average already very conservative and natural approach in the Bay Area and he has a sculptors eye, in addition to being an excellent plastic surgeon he is also an artist and created all of the sculptures adorning his office! I met Dr B when my infant son needed earwells and the wait at UCSF was too long to get in within the recommended treatment window - little did I know what a stroke of luck this was for my family. I'd done my research ahead of time and watched countless videos of earwell treatment (a non surgical ear reshaping procedure for newborns) where a doctor just pops the mold on real quick so that was my expectation. Not Dr B, he took time consulting with me and assessing my son's ears and their symmetry, I think he sensed that I was a little nervous and he told me that he had done his own daughter's earwells which I found very comforting. Then I watched as he very carefully and precisely used the earwell components to sculpt and shape my son's ears into a perfect shape being careful that both sides would come out the same. The level of care and attention that Dr B gave to the procedure was like nothing I'd seen in all my research. Quality was top notch for sure but then his office worked their magic on the billing and I was able to get my son this treatment at no out of pocket cost which was an extremely pleasant surprise. I decided to see Dr Bermudez for injectables when I started noticing some issues that needed a careful eye and Dr B came through for me again. It wasn't my first time getting Botox but I'd never gotten this level of care or patient education. Dr B first talked with me about options for the issue I wanted to address including risks/benefits/long v short term cost - he followed my lead but offered his opinion when asked. Then he took a look at my face and walked me through his thinking as well as a cliffs notes in facial musculature and anatomy. I have never felt so comfortable. The injections were super easy too thanks to his super powerful numbing cream and the results are truly extraordinary. You pay more per unit with Dr B but it is so worth it. Most of my friends get Botox and even so they were shocked to learn that my refreshed look was thanks to the tox too. It just looks like my face reverse aged with none of the telltale frozen cheer mom look, IYKYK. I will never let anyone else touch my face with injectables again. Finally, when I first went to see Dr B I read his reviews and saw folks mentioning bringing their family members to Dr Bermudez and I admit I thought that was weird but then I brought a family member in because when you trust someone like I trust Dr B you just don't want your family going anywhere else. Anyways Dr Bermudez won over my family member with his bedside manner and talked them out of a cosmetic procedure they were considering (this guy is the real deal with the integrity). They ended up deciding to see him for injectables and got some great aesthetic and medical advice in their consult and walked away feeling confident in their next steps. Dr Bermudez and his team are the best.

I had CO2 laser of face, neck and chest over a year ago and still dealing with redness around eyes…read moreand chest area that wasn't blended to have less of a demarcation to skin that wasn't lasered . The eye redness he noted was from something I did (false, I followed his post-op regimen) and he had no remedy for it . I sought outside opinions and most noted it was a bit excessive and to wait and if the eye redness didn't fade to then try to laser it with a laser specifically for red or get an injection 5fu to help the deep red scarring. The chest after a year still doesn't match and was told if I'm lucky the pigment may come back . He also took an additional Hour of OR time which cost me another $1000 at Hayes valley surgery center in SF. I've been told by several laser experts it should have taken less Then 1 hour if equipment and skill were correct. So as a retired OR nurse I've never spoke poorly of a surgeon but as they say there's a first for everything ! I'm hoping this saves others from the anguish and cost of a poorly done procedure ! Do your homework - I should have done more !

It's such a relief to look in the mirror and not look like I'm exhausted every day. I have no doubt my face will look even better in the near future. Dr. Chang's staff members- Lisa, Niloo, Jerri, and Kellie- are all warm, inviting, and knowledgeable. It's always a pleasure to interact with them. I chose Dr. Chang not only because she's one of the best surgeons in San Francisco, but also because she's a woman in a field dominated by men.

Gross Lack of Medical Ethics -- License Should Be Revoked I…read morewas referred to this doctor by a gynecologist due to a hemorrhoid condition. When the doctor entered the consultation room, I attempted to explain my symptoms, but he completely ignored me and simply instructed me to lie on the examination table on my side. After approximately two minutes, he left the room without providing any explanation. A nurse then informed me that the procedure had been completed and that I could go home to rest. However, no post-operative care instructions were given, only that I would recover within a few days. Throughout the entire process, the doctor neither asked about my condition nor explained the nature of my hemorrhoids or the treatment being performed. Moreover, the procedure was carried out without my consent. After returning home, I experienced pain in the anal area, though it was initially tolerable. By the fourth day, three hemorrhoids (each about the size of a large grape) had prolapsed from the anus, causing significant pain and difficulty walking. By the fifth day, there was still no improvement. I called the clinic to request to speak with the doctor and understand what was happening, but the nurse stated that the doctor would not be available. Even if I visited in person, I would simply be told to go home and rest, and that recovery would occur within eight to ten days. By the tenth day, the pain had become unbearable, more severe than childbirth. As it was during the Thanksgiving holiday, I was unable to reach the doctor and had no choice but to seek help at the hospital emergency department. The medical staff were shocked by my condition and immediately referred me to the emergency unit. However, the doctors there were also unable to provide definitive treatment and could only prescribe pain medication, advising me to consult a specialist. An emergency physician later contacted Dr. Yee to understand the procedure and inform him of my condition, but he merely stated that I could see him again in two days. A responsible physician should have followed up immediately under such circumstances, and ideally should have come to the hospital to assess the patient's condition--especially given that he had personally performed the procedure. Due to the severity of the pain, which was close to the highest level imaginable, the emergency physician admitted me to the hospital and prescribed hydrocodone (opioid) 5-325 mg for pain management. I remained hospitalized for five days, during which specialist care was provided. Hospital staff generally believed that the surgical approach was problematic and overly aggressive, as attempting to treat three hemorrhoids at once led to failure. During my stay, Dr. Piyushu Aggarwal demonstrated great care and professionalism. By the fourth day, he successfully reduced the hemorrhoids back into place and arranged for three separate banding procedures, one per month. Each procedure was successful and involved minimal pain. I am very satisfied with his care and would highly recommend him. A doctor who lacks medical ethics, responsibility, and regard for patient safety and well-being should not continue performing surgical procedures. I also hope that no one else will have to endure the same pain and helplessness that I experienced.
