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!

I've had a tummy tuck on my mind since my first baby. My skin was stretched out and my abdominal…read moremuscles had separated -- no matter how much I worked out, I just couldn't get the results I wanted. 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!!)

Dear Dr. Newman, Claudia, and the Entire Team,…read more I wanted to write and express how truly grateful I am for the wonderful care I received throughout my tummy tuck journey. Making the decision to have surgery is a very personal one, and naturally, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. From the moment I walked into your office, however, I knew I was in the right hands. Every interaction was met with kindness, encouragement, and genuine care. To Claudia and the staff, I thank you for your friendly smiles, professionalism, and the way you consistently went above and beyond. It is rare to find a team that works together so seamlessly while making every patient feel important and valued. Dr. Newman, I cannot thank you enough. Your kindness and compassion are truly remarkable. In a world where medical care can sometimes feel rushed, you took the time to listen, answer questions, and make me feel completely at ease. Your caring bedside manner is something I will never forget. I always felt that you genuinely cared about me as a person, not just as a patient. Not only am I thrilled with my results, but I am equally grateful for the experience itself. The confidence I have gained is a gift, but what stands out most is the way I was treated every step of the way--with dignity, warmth, respect, and genuine compassion. Thank you all for the incredible work you do and for creating an environment where patients feel supported, cared for, and encouraged. I feel blessed to have found your practice and will always be grateful for the kindness and expertise you showed me. With heartfelt appreciation, Suzy Moore

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.

Several years later- I am still well and thrive thanks to her skills and dedication. I don't have enough words to thank dr. Friedlander. I greatly appreciate it.

Now I have three little scars and I'm finally rid of that hernia pain. Wahooooo! Dr. Friedlander is really cool. She cares, and she's got this surgery stuff mastered.

The actual medical procedure performed by Dr. Solomon was actually okay and has held up years later…read more(which is why I gave him 2 stars instead of one) but the reason for this 2 star review is for things that many other one and two star reviews cover. I was referred to Dr. Solomon a while back because I needed a hernia operation after an ultrasound confirmed that I had a hernia that needed to be repaired. My initial appointment with him went about as expected. He seemed a bit arrogant at first glance, and "all about the facts", but oddly devoid of compassion - which didn't mean much to me at the time, but I wish I had given heed to these warning signs at the very beginning! He examined me and said I believe you need to have your hernia operated on, and I agreed with him so we set up the surgery. It is also worth mentioning that I never saw him without medical students following him around, whether it was in his office or in the hospital for surgery - like he was holding court to show how important he is. My surgery was initially scheduled for 10:00 am and they ask you to come in 2 hours early to do paperwork and prep. The day before my surgery I got a call from his office. They said he had something clear off his schedule and asked if I was able to move my surgery 2 hours earlier at 8:00 am. I was fasting and knew that I would be getting hungry sooner than later so I was happy to get it over with earlier. The next day I came in at 6:00 am to get started. (Here is what other negative reviews have mentioned) I did my paperwork which went fast and they put me in a gown and took me to the pre-op area around 6:45 am...where I waited for hours because Dr. Solomon was nowhere to be found! They called him every hour and he didn't even pick up. Finally at 11:00 am he answered when the hospital called him and said he would be there as soon as he could. I was looking back at my paperwork and I checked in to the hospital at 6:00 am, and was given my pre-op antibiotics at 11:00 am when they actually talked to him and he confirmed that he was on his way in. I proceeded to wait another 3 hours until 2:00 pm when he finally strolled in, with a student by his side and when I asked why he was so late he arrogantly smirked and simply said he wasn't able to make it. Instead of having me come in 2 hours early, I wish they would have called and said he wouldn't be able to do my surgery until 2:00 pm. It was almost as if he purposely made me suffer longer, and then he was extremely smug about it. So from the time I got to the hospital till the time Dr. Solomon got there to do the surgery was 8 HOURS!!!!! - Absolutely inexcusable!! Normally in a situation like this I would have blown a gasket and raised a huge stink, but because it was just before my surgery, I didn't want to upset him or make him angry before he was about to do a major operation on me so I let it go. But I need to emphasize how hungry I was by this time, having not eaten anything since 6:00 pm the night before - not to mention having been in a hospital gown on an uncomfortable pre-op bed in a brightly lit area with other people for 8 hours. I have had many friends who had hernia surgery and every single one of them has emphasized how much pain they were in after the surgery and truly needed strong pain meds to get them through the first few days (which is understood to be a normal part of this particular surgery). After the surgery, Dr. Solomon told me and my girlfriend that he would not be giving me pain medication but that I should alternate taking 4 Tylenols and in 4 hours take 4 Ibuprofens, and that would be enough for the pain - so I did that for a couple of rounds until I woke up in the middle of the night writhing in pain and couldn't stand it, so I called the emergency on-call number and spoke to a doctor who said he would get me some pain medication. A few minutes later Dr. Solomon called me and tried to gaslight me saying that I shouldn't be in that much pain, but that he would send in a prescription for Tylenol 3 - which turns out is not much stronger that 4 Tylenols, at least for me. When I asked for something stronger he mentioned that he didn't do stronger things due to the addiction factor - At least give me a few days worth to get me through this incredible pain that you know I'm having doctor! - and understandably so with this particular operation!! It felt like he honestly wanted me to be in pain!! Again, it seems that Dr. Solomon revels in causing more pain to his patients than comforting and healing them! In conclusion, this was one of the worst medical experiences I've ever had. I can't remember being in more pain in my life. And the whole incident of being left waiting for 8 hours is just inexcusable! Especially since he had me come in 2 hours earlier. I have never had a doctor gaslight me into backing off and stay in pain. WTF!!!?? I would not wish this experience on my worst enemy! Do yourself a favor and dodge this bullet!!

I didn't fully understand everything he said and try repeating what I heard he said. And when I asked questions, He quickly corrected me in a harsh tone that scared me enough to not to continue asking any more question. He didn't spent more than 4 minutes with me. He never asked how I was feeling , if I was still having pain, or if the meds that were prescribed by the ER doctor were helping. I don't want to return or keep my next appointment. But I feel that I don't have a choice and that all Orthopedics are Irritated, overwhelmed and exhausted with their profession. Therefore, they exhibit this kind of behavior on the patient.
