Don't let the discounted units get you. I'm sharing this to help others understand my experience…read morewith transparency and informed consent. During my appointment, I asked multiple times for the exact number of units being administered and clearly stated limits for each area. I was never given an accurate final unit count before injections, despite asking. After the procedure, I learned that 150 units were used. This was not disclosed beforehand and was significantly higher than my previous treatments at this practice. I am also still experiencing jaw clenching, which was the primary reason for treatment. For my lip flip, my concern was my upper lip folding in. I'm still confused why units were injected into my bottom lip. I have since requested an itemized breakdown by injection site for my personal records. When pricing is unit-based, patients should be informed of exact quantities before treatment, not with a dollar amount. I hope this helps others know what questions to ask and advocate for full transparency. Please consider that this aligns with the other 1-star reviews. There seems to be a pattern of: Treatments exceeding what was explicitly consented to Unit counts disclosed only after procedures Unit-based charges without upfront unit confirmation Dismissive responses when patients asked for clarification In light of these recurring issues, it's worth noting that as of 2/6/26, Google reviews for this business are turned off.

Everyone in the office is dedicated to providing the best possible service. I recently had a visit with Dr. Barbarino who listened attentively to my concerns and provided a clear explanation of my options.

Dr. Rapaport was exactly what I was looking for; he was confident and countered my fear about surgery. Initial appointment was on time, his staff organized and to the point. In his initial consultation he explained the entire procedure in plain language, not hiding potential side effects but rather he was opened and clear so I haven't had any second thoughts. On the surgery day, he stopped by my bed side to check how I am doing and to reassure me that everything is under control. After surgery, follow up was as he promised and at the time when I could again "raise a piano in the air" without any pain. Thank you Dr. Rapaport.

Well, that time inevitably arrived and I found that it was only my face and neck that bothered me. I began the search to find the right surgeon for the work, and shelled out quite a bit of money in consultation fees with highly rated local surgeons. What ended up mattering was the "vibe" of the office, the time the surgeon spent on the consultation, and the quality of his assessment of my face and neck. My goal was to look like like a less wrinkled version of myself. I did not want to look "done." All my questions were answered and all my concerns addressed by Dr. Newman. I also loved the consistently positive nursing and office staff. I don't remember the day of the surgery with any accuracy, but I will say that the anesthesiologist Dr. Patel was incredibly kind and forthcoming. She made sure that I knew exactly what to expect. I'm very happy that I chose Dr, Michael Newman for this work. I'm nearly two months out from my neck and jawline surgery and I am so pleased. I also had an Erbium laser treatment (since I'd already be under anesthesia), so the recovery was a little tough on my thin skin. During this time, Dr. Newman and his staff basically babied me (because I AM a baby about this stuff) and he answered every anxious question with a zen-like calm. Every time I left the office, I felt a thousand times better. Dr. Newman's skillful talent is evident in my natural result, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I had a terrible experience with a previous surgeon, being a breast cancer survivor, it was pretty traumatizing. Naturally I was very nervous about getting the result I was looking for (this second go around), however it didn't take long for him and his staff, to have me feeling at ease. Dr. Newmans staff is top notch, so professional and beyond kind, from the ladies that called for appointment reminders, to the front desk staff, to the lady that was in the room with me and Dr. Newman during my consult. Dr. Newman, himself, is very soft spoken, kind and has such a good energy about him. He took his time and listened to exactly what I wanted to achieve. He asked me numerous questions and discussed in great detail what he would do to help me achieve the results I was looking for. The surgical center staff did not disappoint either. Summer was my nurse and she was absolutely amazing! So sweet, kept me very comfortable and warm while I waited for Dr. Newman. She was so good, I didn't even feel her put the IV in my arm (which is hard to find with my small veins). Dr. Patel was my Anesthesiologist (she's amazing). She called me a few days prior to my surgery and talked to me for about 30 minutes, going over everything she would do, the day of surgery, and really took her time discussing things I could do to ensure a Speedy recovery. On the day of my surgery She made me feel so comfortable and at ease! When I got home from surgery and was able to take my bra off and see my results, I cried happy tears. They look better than I had imagined. He gave me the lift I was looking for, without looking fake. Everything about them is perfect and symmetrical (which can be tricky, since I had a previous lumpectomy). Not only did I look amazing, I had the speediest recovery ever. I had very minimal swelling, no drains, only had to take 1 pain pill the night of the surgery and one the next night. I took Advil for 2 days and that was it. He is an absolute master of his craft and I will be referring any and everyone that Is looking for a plastic surgeon. Dr. Newman is the best!!!!

There are truly no words strong enough to express the gratitude our family has for Dr. Jewell From…read morethe very first consultation through my mom's mastectomy and recovery, they showed not only exceptional surgical skill, but also genuine compassion, patience, and humanity during one of the hardest times in our lives. My mom was understandably scared and emotional, but Dr. Jewell made her feel safe, respected, informed, and cared for every step of the way. Their professionalism and confidence gave our entire family peace of mind, and the results of the surgery exceeded our expectations. The staff truly goes above and beyond. What stood out most was the kindness and empathy shown throughout the entire process. Dr. Jewell never made my mom feel like "just another patient." They treated her with dignity, warmth, and incredible attention to detail. That level of care means everything when someone is facing breast cancer and such a life-changing surgery. We are forever grateful for the strength, comfort, and outstanding medical care Dr. Jewell provided. I would recommend them to anyone looking for not only an incredibly talented plastic surgeon, but also a doctor with a truly compassionate heart.

They definitely are run like a business rather than a medical practice, which more and more is the norm. That said, once I got here, every aspect I encountered -- front desk, providers, medical support staff, billing, and authorizations -- was friendly, professional, and timely. This is the first dermatology practice that has given me the time of day regarding my hair loss. All the other dermatologists I've seen in the past 10 years have blown me off; one very seasoned derm told me to not waste my money and to "go to Hawaii instead." Another was practically offended when I asked for help with hair loss. RB Skin put me on a prescription and then took a scalp biopsy to find out what was going on. Now I'm getting scalp injections, and after a few months, my hair is growing in! I've had acne since I was 10 (a very long time ago), and they're helping me with that too. Maybe the best part is that I'm on Medi-Cal, and RB Skin knows what my insurance covers and how to get my treatments covered. If you're on Medi-Cal, you KNOW how hard that can be. All in all, I highly recommend this place. And they have lots of samples!

THANK YOU DR. KALARIA!!…read more I am beyond happy with my breast lift and augmentation results. For a long time, I felt unhappy with how my breasts looked. They were sagging and didn't have the fullness I wanted. It affected my confidence more than I realized. I avoided certain outfits and just didn't feel comfortable in my own body. Choosing to move forward with surgery was a big decision, but I'm so glad I trusted Dr. Kalaria. My results look amazing. My breasts are lifted, full, and beautifully shaped, but still natural. I feel like the best version of myself now. From the very first consultation, the entire team at Adonis made me feel comfortable and supported. Everyone was kind, professional, and patient. They answered all my questions and made the whole process feel smooth and organized. I was also worried about scarring, but everything is healing so well. The incisions are minimal and already fading nicely. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery was much easier than I expected. If you're thinking about a breast lift with augmentation, I truly recommend Dr. Kalaria. I feel confident, happy, and comfortable in my body again. I'm so grateful for the care and the beautiful results. Thank you for everything!

After my third baby, I finally decided it was the right time. My very first (and ended up being my only) consultation was with Dr. Jacobson, and I'm so grateful it was. I wanted someone local rather than having to drive into LA or Beverly Hills, and from the moment I walked into the office, I knew I was in the right place. The staff was incredible -- from Katie at the front desk to Nurse Vanessa -- everyone made me feel comfortable and cared for. When I met Dr. Jacobson, I was immediately impressed. Not only is he board certified, but he also performs the procedure right in his office. In addition, he has a team of staff he works with consistently. What really stood out to me was that he didn't try to upsell me on anything I didn't need. In fact, he told me my figure was already amazing, but explained clearly that my abs had separated and no amount of gym time would fix that without surgical repair. He also explained how he could remove the loose skin I had from my pregnancies, and walked me through everything in a way that made me feel informed and confident. I was nervous about looking unnatural, but my results are better than I ever could have imagined. My stomach is flat, the loose skin is gone, and I finally see the results of all the hard work I've put into my body over the years. I still have a few stretch marks, which I actually love- they remind me of the beautiful journey of carrying my babies, but now, I feel natural, confident, and truly good in my skin. I can't say enough good things about this entire team. Nurse Consuelo took such amazing care of me during surgery, and the anesthesiologist was calm, kind, and made me feel completely safe. Dr. Jacobson is truly an artist and a master of his craft. I would wholeheartedly recommend this office to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. This experience has been life-changing in the best way possible. (I was so comfortable with the whole team, I added an upper bleph at the last minute! Best decision ever!!)

Dr. Petti is not only a very skilled surgeon she loves what she does and it shows. She's also warm and kind which can be hard to find at this level of care. The aftercare for the first six weeks was also top notch. I'm very grateful to her and her staff. I'll be maintaining the results with home skincare and a laser treatment at her office once or twice a year hereafter.

I'm turning 48 in December and my goal is maintenance. It takes a couple weeks to see results but I just loved the brightness, the smoothness and I'm so pleased I came. Excellent results with Vivace.
