Dr. Taneja is the guy for a boob job. He did mine and three of my friends', and hopefully my mom's…read moreand sister's next. We are all so happy with our results. TRUST whatever size recommendation he gives you. He told me to downsize, and thank God I listened because he was absolutely right. He told one of my friends to go bigger, and he was right about hers too. He truly knows what he's doing. He also recommended a lift for me, and yep... he was right about that too. Looking back, I definitely trust his judgment. Even without the lift, my results came out amazing, and I'm so happy with my boobs now. He's honestly the GOAT when it comes to boob jobs. 10/10 recommend. Just listen to him and trust the process!

He is only concerned with profits. Patient care is missing. After my surgery, my breasts were on my shoulders. I had bulging underneath my breasts that never healed normally. I was missing half a nipple. This doctor shot me out of the office in less than an hour after surgery. He didn't even give me pain meds for the trip home. I was in excruciating pain for weeks. The follow up was trash! It's all for looks. No care involved at all. I paid for a ten year warranty. The breast with the large bulge ruptured two weeks after my warranty expired. When i went to look for this office, they had moved and didn't have a listing. He removed all his old reviews. I had to ask around to find him. Sure enough, he was hidden with no signage on his building. I had to search every floor and check doors before I found his new office. I asked about revision and was treated like a new patient. No concern about my ruptured breast at all! I was quoted $7500-$9000. Fkg ridiculous! The doctor who did my revision said that the previous doctor implanted 700cc sacks and overfilled them to 900cc. That explains the bulging and strange shapes they took on. I paid half of what​ doctor T's office quoted. I'm in nearly no pain, two days after my revision in TJ. I stayed in the hospital overnight and my husband was accommodated too. My new doctor just texted me to ask how I'm feeling. Wow! What a difference! Don't let your excitement get the best of you. Find a doctor who's going to care about your procedure, not just the money he's making.

In 2007 I was on a Zoom call and noticed I had eye bags. I knew they had grown over time but it…read morewasn't until I saw myself on camera when they really stood out. Since then I was very self-conscious about them because they looked awful. I tried creams, tea bags, cold water compresses, etc. and nothing worked so I made a goal to have lower blepharoplasty done before the end of this year. Around August 2025, I was referred to a plastic surgeon by a friend. The doctor was reluctant to perform surgery on me for a couple of different reasons which I won't go into great detail. So without knowing anyone else, I found Dr. Wang and another Asian doctor via the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Since I am Asian, I was specifically looking for Asian doctors who had experience with this surgery on Asian males. I looked at his website, searched for any medical malpractice cases, lawsuits, was he board certified, etc. then scheduled an initial visit. Including Dr. Wang, I purposely visited with three doctor's for this surgery. During the visit with Dr. Wang, I asked about his facilities, the pre-op and post-op steps, aftercare support and follow-ups, shared with him my concerns (stemming from the visit with the first doctor), and a variety of additional questions. In fact, before the actual surgery date, I had two additional visits with him to talk over the initial concerns I had. Incidentally, there was no charge for these visits. Dr. Wang spent plenty of time with me during all three pre-op meetings and saw me pretty quickly meaning, once I stepped into the office for my appointment, I was seen by him in less than fifteen minutes. The surgery went smoothly and I'm very happy with the outcome. I've had four follow-up visits with him with a fifth one scheduled for February 2027. The office staff is terrific and helpful, especially Michelle Y. The facility is very nice, there's plenty of parking, and overall, a positive experience.

Dr. Obi is the GOAT of upper blephs! I had mine done in 2/26, and am still obsessed with my…read moreresults, so this review is long overdue. I setup 2 consults, but ended up cancelling my 2nd right after exiting Dr. Obi's office because I loved his vibe, the facility, and his staff, and booked my surgery within ~2 weeks of the consult right on the spot. The price is all inclusive (you will have multiple follow-up appointments after the procedure), and the surgical suite is onsite. I found him organically online by scouring reviews, specifically only looking for surgeons in nice cities across LA County. Yes, you can get a bleph cheaper if you go to low income cities, but I wasn't willing to take the risk with something like this. I'd label the price here as what I expected it to be based on the locale. I met with Megan and Dr. Obi for my consult. She was so sweet and funny and made the consult comfortable. We ended up consulting about more than the bleph, as I'm interested in fixing some other negative side effects of pregnancy in the near future once my toddler doesn't need me to carry him everywhere as much. I'm 38, and have genetic history on the maternal side of hooded eyelids - my mom, grandpa, and maternal uncle all had this same surgery in their 50s. Having a baby aged me in a lot of ways, and my saggy lids was one of those. My right had more excessive skin than my left. They weren't hooded yet, but the excessive sag just made me so self conscious without makeup, as just looked super exhausted always. My blond lashes and the undereye circles that emerged after pregnancy didn't help my makeup-less look. My early 20s face was truly restored by this procedure. Those that have known me that long have all said the difference is so stark, yet subtle at the same time, in how the procedure reversed my facial age. The facility is clean. There are 2 covered parking garages right behind it. The pre-surgery instructions were spelled out very well. You'll need an eye exam and clearance from an eye doc beforehand, which you can easily get at Costco if you're crunched for time like I was. Your post-op meds will be called in before surgery date so you have those at home already before surgery. You'll get a laundry list of helpful stuff to order to help with recovery, mostly all from Amazon, on a single piece of paper to make things easy. I'm extremely anxious in medical settings - have literally passed out multiple times from having my blood drawn. Even getting my teeth cleaned at routine dental visits is scary for me. Thus, the thought of being wide awake in the OR while my eyelids are basically cut off was very scary for me, but it was honestly a breeze. I got anti-anxiety meds to take the morning of, and everyone I encountered the day of surgery made the procedure completely tolerable. We were jamming out to 2010s rap in the OR by choice, and I was able to carry on conversation the entire time I was being worked on - we talked about work, our kids, and life like we were at brunch, LOL. Dr. Obi was really good with announcing what he was doing before he'd touch my face each time so that I wouldn't flinch to his touch. Your eyelids will be numbed immediately and it feels like they're so heavy, you'd never be able to open them, yet walking into it, I was so afraid my eyes would just open mid-procedure, which obviously didn't happen. Josh, the OR tech, was hilarious and kept me laughing. Susie, Victoria, and Perla were my nurses, and they were all great and so sweet. The procedure itself was maybe 30 minutes, but you'll be on the table longer than that because the prep work takes almost as long as the surgery. I was able to take a selfie of myself right after I hopped off the table and walk myself to the recovery room. I'm a Family Law Attorney who is always in court (but WFH), and I went right back to work the next day. I even defended a deposition within the same week as surgery. Dr. Obi gave me a steroid to help with the swelling and bruising because everyone was worried about me looking crazy at this depo, LOL. The pain the day of was like a prickly pain all over my face before I took the pain meds. That was the only dose of those I took, then I used OTC stuff for maybe 2-3 days post-op before I didn't need anything at all. Sleeping propped up for many days was one of my least fav parts, but tolerable. Your eyes will be really tight and hard to blink, so become dry easily, but they give you eye drops to order for that. In hindsight, I wouldn't have gone back to work the next day because of the lack of blinking + staring at a computer for hours just strained my eyes too much. I swelling and bruising came down faster than I expected, and the pain was so minimal compared to what I'd anticipated. I've sent numerous people to Dr. Obi for the same procedure already. I wish I'd done it years ago! See the before and after pics I grabbed from his IG of me, and a set I took myself.

I had a paid consultation scheduled and arrived on time. After waiting 90 minutes with no update…read morefrom staff I left. The waiting room was full, and other patients had been waiting even longer (over two hours). There was no communication, no timeline, and no attempt to manage expectations. Delays happen, but this was chaotic, and appeared to be systemic overbooking rather than an isolated issue. For a surgical consultation, where attention to detail and patient care should be paramount, this experience was concerning to say the least. I felt I was waiting to be processed, not cared for. I sat there thinking - these are the people that would be responsible for my pre-op care, my surgery, my aftercare, and any complications that may arise during or after my procedure. And they cannot get the most basic function of the operation right. Ultimately, the consultation fee was a small price to avoid a five-figure mistake. Maybe it's ok for filler and Botox. If like me you are making a permanent decision about your body, beware. I won't undergo a scalpel on an assembly line. Hard pass.

Dr. Lakshman is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. He has a way of making you feel comfortable from the moment you meet him. I've been seeing him for quite some time now, and he consistently does an amazing job. He listens, takes his time with me, and I never feel rushed. One of my favorite parts of every visit is seeing the office staff. They always greet you with a smile. They're genuinely kind, welcoming, and always so upbeat. It's one of the few medical offices where I actually look forward to my appointments because everyone makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. I'm so grateful I found this practice. In fact, I already have future appointments on the books, which says everything about the confidence I have in Dr. Lakshman and his team. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice. This team deserves far more than five stars!
