    I don't know if Dr Zaka had a bad day when I saw her, but she had poor bedside manner during our…read moreconsultation. This was disappointing after having driven an hour to her office. She was cold, snappy, and a bit rude at times when I asked questions. For example, we were discussing Botox and she asked me to raise my eyebrows. I was struggling to do so on command, which happens. Instead of guiding me, she said right off the bat in an agitated tone "I don't know why you're not raising them. Maybe you're shy." This is not how you talk to patients, especially when they are already putting themselves in a vulnerable setting like a medical aesthetics office. This was just one of several things that rubbed me the wrong way. It's a shame, because I heard good things about her work. I may have been interested in working with her, if it were not for her off-putting nature during our consult. Instead, it was an immediate no for me after I left her office. Giving two stars because she at least gave some helpful info about potential treatments and pricing. But her bedside manner needs work.

    I want to give another update on this review. I am currently doing an ongoing treatment that has…read morebeen for almost a year. The treatment is working, but it takes a lot of time and investment because it's probably one of the hardest and longest treatment for males if you want it to be permanent (and that's my goal). However, Dr. Zaka has been extremely patient with me. Whenever I visit, she always takes the time to answer my concerns. She even responds to my questions during off hours or weekends when i text her. I also want to call out that her treatments are super efficient as of today. I have been able to get into her clinic, get my treatment done, and then walk out of her clinic within 15 minutes in most of my sessions with her ever since I started this journey. This is extremely important to me as I usually have many meetings and development work lined up during the weekdays at my work. I really appreciate Dr. Zaka's efficiency and respect for the time of her patients.

    I couldn't be happier that I kept searching for the right surgeon for me…read more Years ago, I had my original surgery with Dr. Prescott (at the same clinic Dr. Eberlin now leads). From consultation to post-op care, I had zero complaints. Fast forward 18 years - my results were still amazing with no issues at all. I simply decided I wanted to switch from saline to silicone. I was sad to hear Dr. Prescott had retired, so I consulted with two other surgeons - one of whom came highly recommended in Folsom. Unfortunately, I didn't feel confident moving forward. Both told me they would need to create a new incision under my breast for the implant exchange. I asked why we couldn't go through my original incision (which is barely visible along my lower areola line), and they said reopening it wasn't a good idea and wasn't even an option. When I met Dr. Eberlin, everything changed. I was immediately relieved when I asked where the new incision would need to be, and without hesitation he said we could use my existing incision. He explained that I had healed beautifully and that areolar incisions are known to heal very well and offer natural camouflage compared to the 3-4 inch incisions that some surgeons still make under the breast. He also uses the Keller Funnel technique, something many top surgeons use - which allows for a "no-touch" implant placement. This reduces the risk of bacterial contamination and, in my case, allowed him to go through my original incision. That was incredibly important to me. If you're considering this procedure, I would highly recommend watching videos on how the Keller Funnel works. Unless you are choosing extremely large implants, in my opinion it's a much better approach than creating a larger incision under the breast. From the moment I left my consultation, I knew I would proceed with him. I never felt pressured or rushed. It felt like a thoughtful, genuine conversation. He gave his professional opinion when I asked, but ultimately empowered me to decide on the size and approach that felt right for me. On surgery day, he came in to speak with me beforehand and made sure I felt completely comfortable. Again, no rushing - just calm, confident care. Beyond his technical skill, he is simply a kind and caring human being. You can tell he truly loves what he does and is passionate about his work. I am beyond happy and so grateful I found him. If you are considering plastic surgery, I would recommend Dr. Eberlin without hesitation.

For a long time, I wasn't feeling like myself -- constant sadness, low energy, painful periods, and so many other symptoms that were affecting my quality of life. My doctor at Kaiser suggested it was depression, but something inside me kept telling me there was more to it. I started doing my own research and learned about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). I didn't know MSPA offered it until they sent me an invitation last October. I made an appointment right away. From the very first visit, the staff made me feel heard and comfortable. They were kind, patient, and took the time to walk me through everything -- what the treatment involved, what to expect, and why it might help. They sent me to Quest Diagnostics for bloodwork to check my hormone levels, and after reviewing the results, we moved forward with the procedure. It was quick -- about 10 minutes -- and the only discomfort was a brief sting from the anesthesia. Within the first month, I noticed a remarkable difference. For the first time in my life, I had my period with NO cramps. I felt happy -- genuinely happy. It's hard to describe, but it's like I finally wanted to live again. Six months in, and there is no going back. This has been a life-changing experience. It turns out it wasn't depression or me "feeling crazy" -- it was my hormones. I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the incredible staff -- Stacey, Brittany, and Hailey -- as well as the friendly and welcoming team at the front desk. You are all truly appreciated -- every single one of you. From the moment I walked in, you made me feel welcome, cared for, and never rushed. Your warmth and professionalism made a huge difference in my experience, and I am truly grateful for each of you. I can't recommend this team enough.

For years now, he has taken good care of us through our annual whole body skin cancer screenings, and follows up with all necessary tests and procedures. After his first visit with Dr. Patel, our adult son highly recommended Dr. Patel to myself and my husband following the semi retirement of Dr. Becker, our previous long time doctor at Golden State. Now Dr. Patel is a cherished dermatologist for all three of us. The office staff is also competent and friendly. Our visits are seamless and pleasant. We are VERY grateful that Golden State Dermatology, affiliated with, but not managed by John Muir Health, continues to offer these vital and reassuring annual cancer screenings, while other groups, such as Kaiser, and even the John Muir Foundation Practices (JMH managed) are under management now shortsighted enough about essential preventative care to discontinue these essential routine screenings. Thank you Golden State and Dr. Patel!

    I scheduled my first tattoo removal appointment with Melissa Pattee, and unfortunately, it was a…read morevery disappointing experience. After reading the one-star reviews, I should have taken them more seriously -- patient comfort does not seem to be a priority here. As soon as I walked into the room and sat down, she handed me protective glasses and instructed me to sit sideways. There was no real consultation, explanation of the process, or discussion about pain management beforehand. Once the procedure started, I asked if they had numbing cream to make the treatment more comfortable. She left the room and returned with a syringe, injecting my arm 6-7 times with little explanation of what it was. Immediately after setting the syringe down, she began the procedure. I asked if we should wait a few minutes for the area to become numb, and she responded, "Don't worry, we're almost done." When I questioned the purpose of the numbing injections if we weren't going to allow time for them to work, she didn't respond. The entire appointment lasted about seven minutes. I left feeling rushed, unheard, and uncomfortable. For a first tattoo removal session -- especially one involving injections and laser treatment -- I expected better communication and more attention to patient comfort.
