**** Do not go to these scammers *****They do fraud and are liars.They overcharged our credit card by $1600 and charged us for posterior roll and love handles and did not do. When we asked for the $2500 plus the $1600 they overcharged us they come up with excuses and hang up on us. I asked them to send medical records so we can give to our attorney and they just sent pictures only. They also charged us $35 and took 2 months to send. The worse part is that they sent my wife home without stitches and had to go to the local hospital to get it fixed. We got a bill from the local hospital for $2000. The doctor is dirty and greasy and does all his surgeries the same day. The assistant that went to hook my wife up missed her veins several times leaving big marks.

I am so glad I choose Pacific Lipo; after I visited other places to get consultations, because prices are not as reasonable and staff is not as caring, and friendly, as Pacific Lipo. Staff and Doctors make you feel comfortable and are very helpful. Dr Takousky is very professional, friendly and caring. Especial thanks to Stephanie from Sam Diego Office, she took care of me since day one, helped me out with all paperwork, questions and concerns.

I had surgery with Dr. Guttikonda August 30th. Lipo and BBL. Where do I start. Since the moment I called in for my consultation appointment this office has been phenomenal! Each and every staff member I have interacted with has been top notch. Never got the feeling that they were ONLY after money like most places. Not 1 question I had went unanswered (I had a TON of questions). Stephanie was AMAZING! She definitely went way above and beyond since day 1. Nurse Amanda was also amazing. She was caring, understanding and most importantly made sure I was comfortable. Now to Dr. G! Since the moment he walked in I knew he was the Dr. I wanted. He made me feel extremely comfortable. This man has magic hands. When I tell you he did his thing on me.... I didnt even have to tell him what I wanted. He knew exactly what I was looking for. I am 4 weeks post op and have loved my results since day 1. If you are looking for top notch service with amazing results go to Pacific Lipo. They will NOT disappoint.

Pacific Lipo is great and Dr. Tawosky is very personable and caring! Only downside is Christina, she has no bedside manner and she’s all about the $. Doesn’t care about anything else. She should be placed in back office with files! In regards to your comment about helping BS on day of surgery who adds another fee and fee that she quoted was same as she tried to collect. She’s about the money period.

UPDATE:for the office to respond by saying “ Perfection is an elusive goal in plastic surgery.” is absolutely ridiculous. they’re not going to own up to the fact that the doctor was extremely aggressive during lipo which caused an irreversible outcome unless i get a tummy tuck. I got second opinions and all doctors stated the same thing, Dr Takowsky didn’t do ALL of the things he claimed to have done & that I PAID FOR. & that he was too aggressive. while everyone understands “perfection” is unrealistic, a DOCTOR should know when enough is enough while in the middle of surgery. to bring up a previous surgery i had done over 15 years ago and dare to say “attempt to correct” is not acceptable. if there was ANY hesitation to my requests, Dr Takowsky should’ve respectfully said he wouldn’t be able to get me the results I wanted.I had my procedure done on February 8 ,2021 with Dr. Gary Takowsky and this was one the worst experiences I have ever had . I got lipo done on my lower abdomen area , BBL and my Inner thighs to get firm . Everything that the Dr. Touched on my body Is botched and non reversible . I wouldnt recommend this place to my worst enemy . Insult to Injury they wanted to refund me $1200.00 and sign a waiver yeah right ! I cant wait to take this Dr. /Office to court so no one will have to go through this emotional and physical roller coaster ride . Do not get any procedures done here ! Pay extra for a very good doctor !

I have been extremely happy up until today. I have spent a lot of money with pacific lipo. I do not appreciate Amanda being rude during my post-op visit she has no bedside manner and should not be working with patients.

After doing my research and visiting other places Im so happy I chose Pacific Lipo for my procedure. All the front desk ladies have excellent costumer service and always make you feel comfortable and welcome. Dr. Guttikonda is just great always answering all my questions helping me feel confident about my decision. I definitely recommend Pacific Lipo.

This place gave me back my confidence I have finally found the girl that I was; which I thought I had lost forever. Dr Takowsky is very knowledgeable,my tummy tuck results are amazing and I recovered so well.

From Ruth Edmonds;After looking around and doing research we found Lipo. They were very helpful and caring and very professional. From the first time my husband and I began to work with Lipo they made eveything easy and I didnt have to worry about anything. Everyone there was so nice and I am happy with how everything turned out. I would recommend them to anyone.

Thank you Pacificlipo for everything you have done for me. When I first came in for my consolation, I felt so comfortable and knew I was going to schedule my surgery with you..even though I had to come from out of town. Throughout the entire process the staff, nurses and Dr. Gary T were helpful, honest and friendly. The surgery went great and returned home. Every time I called with any issues or concern Steph was always there to assist. I ended up returning for lipo. Again everyone was just as pleasant and informative as before. I am so happy with my results. Thank you again everyone..you have assisted me with changing my life!

Pacific Lipo is the best place to go do your tummy tuck and your Lipo section don very nice people all the Nurses are very kind the Doctor is very nice and friendly they makes you fill comfortably they did a very good job

Honestly everyone here is amazing !! All the front desk ladies are so helpful so all my many questions! I am so in love with my results from Dr. G, I will be forever grateful for him and all the staff who worked hard and really listened to my hearts desires. Thank you Dr G and pacific Lipo!!!

I had a very good experience with Pacific lipo the workers there are very nice and kind and understanding and Dr Rakhesh Guttikonda that work on me is so awesome I would recommend him and this place to all my friends and family love it 😀😊❤

I had my procedure done at the San Diego facility and the experience was great! Everyone is so kind, attentive, and make you feel welcomed! Angie and Stef went above and beyond with me, put up with my constant emails, and questions.I went to Dr.Takowsky for a BBL, Tummy Tuck. My stomach is phenomenal! My new navel looks amazing! I had to go in for a second procedure due to the legal limit for what they can take out and I was amazed yet again! I voiced my wants to Stef and she was so sweet, and took care of me. She listened to me, ensured and made sure that my needs were met! I’m in love with my results!I live in Orange County but the staff make it worth the trip to San Diego. Definitely coming back for more work in the future!

Had my surgery in dec bbl/LipoMy stomach on top and one side of my abdomen never went down I called spoke with the dr he said wait for two months it’s been over two months and still the sameI feel like my stomach looks the exact same like I didn’t have Lipo on my stomach at all I finally have an appt soon I’m hoping dr can fix it I wanna be able to wear a dress and baiting suit like i asked

Pacific Liposculpture had the best staff! Dr Guttikonda did a great job on my lipo +bbl!! So happy!

OMG WHERE DO I START? The staff here are very kind and are informative about any concerns their patients may have. Every time I go to the office, they are super friendly and make me feel comfortable. My surgeon was Gary Takowsky, and I got a bbl with liposuction(transfer) .My results are phenomenal and Gary knows how to give the perfect shape for your specific body type.My overall experience was beyond a 5 star rating and I will definitely be coming back for more work with him .Thank you Gary and Pacific lipo for giving my confidence back :)!

Where do I start Im only giving 2 stars because the stuff was so awesome but that doesnt excuse the fact that I am so disappointed in my lipo bbl results. This was something I been waiting for along time. My results are so bad that I dont even look like I had anything done.The Doctor did not do my back when I had already paid for it and didnt even tell me until I asked him, how Dishonest was that. Then when I ask how is he going to fix it they wanted to charge me $500.00 more for supplies when they still had my $1990.00 for the procedure to fix it. Sadly I still look the same as before I had anything done after All that time, money and pain. I paid $9600.00 for nothing. Now I have to go to some one else for revision to fix what this so called surgery has done what a waste.

So let me start my review with this.... Christina is the best ...(lead Coordinator) shes so welcoming …her smile says ..Sit down were going to take good care of you. My experience was what I expected...GREAT results so far …and Im 6 in a half weeks of my post op....and Yes Im counting EVERY day, Until Im some what close to seeing my end results...but lets be realistic...you really wont see your end results until 6 mos. to a year...but Im already hopeful.First off my appointment was set for December 18th 2020....but They called me a 2 weeks before my procedure and asked if I wanted to come in on the 11th instead of the 18th....I had to think about it …then I said efff it...Hell yes....best decision .You see .. every day and every ..week counts on your healing progress …the faster I got in and have it done …the quicker i can start my healingMy Dr. was Dr. Compoginis... He has a GREAT bedside manner....He was very honest with me …He told me what he can do for me and what I DONT need done... I had a 360 liposculpture and a fat transfer (bbl)Well….after I came home ..I was already feeling like what the hell did I do to myself...YES, the lipo looks great but my butt didnt look touched at all...Mind you …this was the first day home from my procedure....and Im SWOLLEN as HELL....and Im the type that want to see RESULTS IMMEDIATELY …lol..smhI even called and said I dont see any difference in the fat transfer...but I was reminded that I was still swollen....which was TRUE! I also Id complained that I think I had developed seroma (this after a few days being home) so it was suggested to use the the foam for added compression to my faja....that did work some, but once again ...NOT FAST ENOUGH for me...(I have no patiences at all)…but Im working on that ..lolWell....within close to 2 weeks of having the Procedure ….I started SEENING some results of my bbl ….and following after that with EACH DAY going by....PROGRESS was showing itself...HALLELUJAH!!!So when I had my first follow up... I told Dr.Compoginis that I was starting to look like I have seromas he ask did I wanted him to drain it … I said yes, and he drained a lot of fluid out of me…and it started to look flat but with a little bit left...He suggested for me to put a heating pad on it for about 10 mins on low setting then it will start to go down. I did just what he suggested …TWICE day....AND OMG...within days it flatting OUT!!!!So far my RESULTS are FREAKING FANTASTIC!This is what I have to say to anyone that are going to have this sort of procedure or already had …YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENCE ! Your end RESULTS doesnt really show up for another 6 mos. to a YEAR!Hopefully this was helpful to someone that is or even thinking about getting this procedure : )Oh and BTW...my Butt looks GREAT😁

The moment I walked in pacific Lipo I felt a calm and warm welcoming. The staff , Stephanie and Dr Bivens went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied. Very professional and Dr.Bivens has a sense of humor as well.... I will be returning tomorrow morning 8am sharp for my next procedure..... I’m excited!!!

The staff & nurses are amazing! Dr. Guttikonda was perfect; made me feel very comfortable with his expertise and confidence! Stephanie was the best! She kept in contact with me pre and post opp; which helped incredibly! Love my new titayys!!

I will absolutely forever sing the praises of this place, primarily for their impeccable service. The office manager Stephanie is the most amazing woman I’ve met in my life! I worked with both her the Marketing coordinator Christina and they are both so wonderful. Even if I was unhappy with my work I would still recommend this place solely based on the service. Special thanks to Dr. Omar for his amazing work :)

I would absolutely recommend!!! Entire staff was so helpful and respectful from day one.I was treated by Dr. Gary T. about three months ago, and I am fascinated with my results. To this day I know if I have any other questions I could call and would be helped right away. Stephanie was the very first person I spoke with on the phone, also at my first appointment she’s so nice and professional along with the nurses and ladies at front office. The entire office was always very clean and looked professional definitely the place you’d want to go to when making a big decision with your body. Overall loved my results, staff was awesome and I would recommend 100% ! Thank you to all at Pacific Lipo for my great experience.

Great support staff! A special thank you to Christina, first for coming in on her day off after a holiday, and assisting us with our blood work. Im not an easy draw, and she was awesome. Both my husband and I appreciate her dedication and for accommodating since we were coming from out of town.

I would highly recommend Pacific Lipo the staff are all really nice and always make me feel comfortable at every visit, and the results of there work is amazing!

I am 2 weeks post op and I love the work and the friendliness of the staff. My doctor was Dr. Comp & he was nice !

Had my procedure on October 8th. Dr. Takowsky was awesome!! Had my first post-op appointment this week and so far I’m very pleased with the results. I was looking for a doctor with a lot of years experience and he has plenty and he does very nice work. My incision hardly shows it’s very thin which is what I wanted He explained my procedure as well as fees and I’m very pleased as their prices are VERY affordable. I got three estimates of my procedure and Pacificlipo was the cheapest. The office staff Stefani, Christina and Paula and others I dealt with at San Diego and Beverly Hills are all awesome and caring!! They answered all my concerns and returned my calls in a timely manner. Great customer service is hard to find sometimes. 👍 Will definitely recommend him. Dr. T. Don’t ever retire. As if you do..it will be a GREAT loss to all the ladies and men with imperfect bodies!! God bless you al!!🙏👍😉

Not only will ‘Pacific Lipo San Diego’ welcome you to their office with open arms of acceptance and understanding, but they will support you with an ample supply of positivity and compassion — this is not a place to dread visiting; rather it is the destination you’ve been looking for.From start to Finnish Dr. Assassa was clear and helpful, but not at all intimidating — this man will have you giggling with his jolly sense of humor, and inspired by his clear passion for his work. I would describe him as a friendly, confident, man — who’s great at what he does; an artist and a doctor.The entire staff mimics this positive vibe, and passion; remaining there for you every step of the way.

I had my procedure done 6 weeks ago and I am loving every part of it. From my initial consultation to my post op care everything has been great. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I had a tummy tuck procedure and Lipo. Dr. Walker and his staff make you feel like family and are always so welcoming and helpful. Dr. Walker is available at anytime of day for question or concerns after care and the follow up care has always been wonderful. I highly recommend this center to anyone thinking about having any procedure they do here done here. Stephanie, Janine, Sheridan and Letty are all so wonderful, sweet and kind, they are always willing to help and so super friendly. I am so happy I chose this location and I truly feel like family and cared for here. Thank you everyone for everything I am so happy with the brand new 2.0 me!

Absolutely love Pacific Lipo. Not only did Dr. Assasa do an incredible job but the staff is so welcoming and friendly. They are always available to help, flexible to work with your schedule and even when I had an after hours question, they called me back immediately to help out. Would definitely recommend!

Dr. Omar is absolutely the best. I had consultations with few surgeons and I decided to go with Pacific Lipo because of Dr. Omars honesty. He gave me the best advice! He performed the minnie tummy tuck and lipo on me a month ago and I am so happy with the results! Stefanie at the front desk is so attentive to customers needs and concerns! I felt so welcomed since day one. Highly recommend them!!!

Horrible experience top part of stomach never dropped. I notified them, they said they would contact me and never did. I have referred multiple people to them thinking they were good people boy was I wrong. My mother is even having problems with them

The front office staff was friendly and welcoming. I was very nervous coming in to have a consultation. My results after my procedure was phenomenal!. Would go back again for another procedure.

Ive waited 15 years to have my Mommy Make Over ! 5 kids ,8 surrogate babies had done a lot of stretching of my body ,it was time to take it back ! Im so happy for did , I feel Amazing ! Pacific Lipo made that happen! The whole staff is beyond fabulous! Thank you 😊

I called to schedule an appointment for consultation for me and my wife, my wife doesnt speak English very well, I insisted 1 appointment together so I can help her with the language, no matter what I say, the receptionist keep making me to have 2 appointments seperately, on top of taking my credit card for a free consultation...I found this place is kinda strange.

The staff is so nice and welcoming. I’m only a week and a half post op and already see amazing results. Would definitely recommend!!!

I want to begin this review by stating that Im over the moon excited about my results of getting an extensive tummy tuck and BBL. Every interaction with Pacific Lipo was enjoyable. Amber and Stephanie are kind, caring and professional. Nicest doctors office I ever visited in my 53 years. Im shocked that I dropped 10 sizes and just took nine garment bags to a charity shop of business suits because they are way way way too big for me to wear now. I did a lot of research on surgeons in San Diego prior to choosing Dr. Walker. I chose him because he has an appreciation for the artistic sculpting of plastic surgery as well as a stellar reputation as a skilled doctor. It is rare for a surgeon to excel in both of these areas. What I didnt know before the surgery was how thoughtfully Dr. Walker would treat me. I was never just another client and I never felt that I was just getting lip service from him on how important it was that the surgery gave an excellent result. I only wish I had done this with Dr. Walker a decade ago.

I called to ask a simple question. Apparently they can’t answer questions over the phone. That’s cool, I’ll just take my money somewhere else! ✌🏼BTW, I have phone records.

Dr. Walker is the best! He is a master craftsman with an artistic touch. You want a doctor who is upfront with you and tells you exactly what to expect: honesty and integrity. His knowledge and experience was obvious to me on the initial consultation and I have not been disappointed. Im very happy with my results so far and know that it will only get better over time. He truly cares about his patients and makes sure that you are completely comfortable with the procedure. Post-op care has been wonderful. The medical support staff are top-notch and the ladies at the front desk are not just efficient, but are soooo nice. I would highly recommend Dr. Walker and the entire facility.

I got my surgery done 4 weeks ago, results are fantastic. The staff is so sweet and accommodating! Doctor Walker is the sweetest and honest doctor. He has always been a phone call away for ANYTHING! Love this San Diego office and team. Definitely recommend! Thank you guys!

The staff at Pacific Lipo is absolutely WONDERFUL! From Mo to Stefani, to Christina (my consultant), Alex, and the entire medical staff... theyre professional, thorough, and extremely friendly. I was so excited about my procedure, and that was for good reason! Dr. Takowski did an AMAZING job!! Im six weeks post-op and the results are fantastic!!! Im confident Ill ultimately have a head-turning transformation.

The staff at Pacific Lipo are extremely professional and have a nice facility. The surgeons are independent medical practitioners, similar to a doctors office with multiple doctor practices sharing a space. The staff are prompt, friendly, and encouraging. After my procedure, they remarked how much I had improved from one visit to the next, which was helpful because it takes a while to recover. Stefani and Christina always returned my emails and phone calls within 24 hours (I had a lot of questions prior to the procedure). Any concerns I raised about my care or aftercare were promptly addressed. I appreciated their willingness to go above and beyond to make sure my recovery was comfortable, I was stable, and felt I was receiving the best care possible. I feel like my results are going to be amazing and am glad I went with this office!

Ive had several procedure with Pacific Lipo. Staff and nurses are fantastic and I was treated very well. I would highly recommend Dr. Assassa for Lipo, hes very thorough and Ive been very happy with his work. I would and have recommended him to friends.

After months of research... I am so glad I decided to trust Pacific Lipo with my breast augmentation, tummy tuck, bbl and buccal pad removal. My experience has been amazing. Dr. Takowsky created the body for me that I had only imagined. He understood my desire for a natural physique, and he definitely delivered. I am so grateful to have had him as my surgeon. The overall service provided by the staff was first class in all aspects. Stefani is a gem!! She has been genuinely kind and supportive throughout the entire process. This is more than a positive review, it is in fact a sincere and heartfelt show of extreme gratitude. Thank you Pacific Lipo for making this experience so great. I have recommended Pacific Lipo to my closest family and friends. You guys are awesome!!~Cassandra

Where do I start, making a decision to commit to surgery, but not only a life changing result has still been unreal to me. Struggling with weight loss for years and the staff and Dr. Takowsky have contributed to an amazing new me. Christina, Stefanie, Mo, and the nurses have provided the most impressive customer service, hospitality, and empathetic relationship I could ask for related to surgery and seeing results. They are so encouraging! Dr. Takowsky has contributed to the boost in my confidence and I would highly recommend him any day! I cant tell you how grateful I am to Pacific Lipo and its staff!See for yourself!!M

I am AMAZED by the the results, Dr. Rob did a wonderful job and the staff are very kind and friendly! Not only does he have wonderful bedside manner but he checks up on his client because he is concern about us. When I have a question or concern i just send him a text and responds very quickly. It is more than worth the amount I paid for the procedures. I love my new upper and lower abdomen and inner things, sure it is painful getting the anesthetics but after that it is painless. ^_^ I love it

I am very unhappy with my bbl I look the same maybe a Lil worst they messed up my back for life the doctor will fast talk you and over talk you and keep pushing your date back once they already take your money people please run far from this place it’s horrible

One week has passed since I had my procedure (tummy tuck and BBL) and it will be a while before I will see my final results, but I have already formed my opinion of Dr. Walker and his staff. Before I met any of them in person, I admit, I thought the girls on the phone were a little too sweet. Turns out, Janine and Stephanie really are that nice!First impressions are invaluable when choosing where to have cosmetic procedures done, and I was very impressed by Dr. Walker. His was not the first office I had visited during my search for the right place. I know these doctors are very busy and their time is valuable. Dr. Walker treated me as if my time was valuable. I never felt rushed. I was actually surprised by the amount of time he spent with me. He told me how he wanted me to be eating and taking care of myself, regardless of whether I returned for the procedure. His bedside manner is more that of a trusted family doctor.The enthusiasm he has for what he does is palpable. As we discussed what I could reasonably expect from procedures under his care, he made me feel like a potential piece of art, and let me know that a lot of what I could expect would be up to me. This was comforting for me. Its not the most comfortable thing to stand naked and jiggly and white (not unlike bread dough, in my case) in front of a doctor whose profession is helping people achieve perfection, but I was comfortable with him.Oh yeah! I also had my chin sculpted! Right before going into the procedure room on the big day, Dr. Walker said, while touching my chin(s), I cant wait to get my hands on that! You cant fake that kind of commitment to your art. Dr. Walker is even more excited about how it turned out than I am, and I am overjoyed!The nurses, assistants, and anesthesiologist were also very kind. I wish I could remember all their names!

I would most definitely recommend Pacific Lipo to anyone looking for top notch service. From the moment I first called to set up my consultation to now....two weeks after my hips and outer thighs lipo, Ive had nothing but the BEST service! Stefani, my consultant, not only answered all my questions, but called me on her days off to check how Im doing and if I need anything. Dr. Assassa made me feel so comfortable and did an amazing job on my body. He is always smiling and is available on weekends after your surgery on his personal cell to answer any questions. After a visit in their office, I always walk out smiling. The staff makes you feel at home and good about yourself. I will definitely recommend Pacific Lipo to friends and family.

Thank you Dr. Takowsky!! You saved my self confidence. I cant wait to show off my new Mommy body. My skin has never looked so smooth and tight. At the age of 66 I feel better than I did in my 30s.My kids say I look too young now. haha.You changed my life.

I had great results at Pacific lipo the staff was professional and very kind .I would recommend this place to anyone looking for cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Takowsky is an incredible doctor and took excellent care of me! He patiently listened as I expressed my concerns and needs and he carefully walked me through his recommendations. His expert work was careful, kind and created the most amazing results! He exceeded my expectations. I‘D had major surgery in my abdominal area that left me with pits and scars and now, my tummy is scar free. I never thought I’d feel beautiful again, but I do. The staff is fantastic. I absolutely love Stefani, the surgical team (shout out to Letty -love her!), and everyone I had the pleasure of coming in contact with at Pacific Lipo. Everyone there is so kind. They made me feel safe and comfortable and like when I’m there, I’m with friends. I highly recommend Pacific Lipo to anyone considering liposuction and/or tummy tuck. I had a great experience and truly believe that they are the very best surgical center, and the very best team of experts in their field. Thank you Dr. Takowsky.

I did a lot of research from Beverly Hills to Rancho Cucamonga going to a lot of different plastic surgeons and I have to say Pacific Lipo was my favorite place! They are very professional and the staff is great and the place is very clean!!! And I am very happy so far with my results!!! Thank you Pacific Lipo

I researched surgeons for months before choosing Dr. Assassa for my first cosmetic procedure. I was a nervous wreck, but Dr. Assassa always managed to put me at ease and make me smile. Also, I couldn’t be happier with my results! I’ve told him many times he can never retire because I only want him to perform my procedures, lol.

YES! I had my procedure done on my arms and tummy last winter and I cant begin to say how amazing it feels to walk around in crop tops all summer long. I love my results! Pacific Lipo is the best at what they do and Rod and his staff are there for you every step of the way!THANK YOU PACIFIC LIPO :)

I have been dealing with issues with how my stomach looked for years. I was never comfortable in my own skin, and no matter how hard I worked out, I could not lose the stomach fat. I decided to go to Pacific Lipo after reading the reviews, and seeing the before and after pics of everyone else. I went in for the free and consult, and decided to go ahead with upper and lower abdomen procedure. I schedule my appointment for 2 days after the consult. I was a nervous wreck, waiting for the appointment. The procedure was not bad at all, I watch a lifetime move while Rod was completing the procedure. I saw immediate results after he finished, and I was able to drive myself home. My first night of sleep was uncomfortable, but other than that I have had no problems. I went to work the next morning. Its been 2 weeks and i still very please with my decision. The staff and Rod are amazing, and I would go back there if I ever needed anything else done. I have a few friends that are ready to go there after seeing my results. I cant wait to see what I will look like in a few months.

If I could grade 0 star, I would do that. Very dishonest place.... I was very concerning my belly area fat lately. Found pacific lipo on-line, had an phone consultation since I am not local customer. The staff kept pushing me to schedule the date for surgery. Otherwise, the doctor will be on vacation, or someone else will take the spot. They asked for credit card number for record, but wont charge till i sign the consent. Without my permission, they charged me $ 1000.00 for deposit the same day i gave my credit card #. When I found out that I dont have anyone to go to SD with me, they told me they cannot pursue the surgery. I asked to refund my deposit they told me which is not refundable. Its crazy...In addition, staffs are very unprofessional. Its a worsted experience I never had..see you in court!

Okay so I have been stalking PacificLipo for years in regards to getting lipo done. So finally 4 yrs later I had lipo and a BBL done (October 16th). I am 5 wks out as of today and my experience with them has been phenomenal. Stephanie and Christina are AMAZING. They have made me feel totally comfortable and reassured throughout this whole journey. Dr. T is AMAZING as well. I am so happy with my results thus far and can’t wait to see what the next few months hold. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!

This place is phenomenal! I went to five different consultations and after hearing ups and downs for the procedures I wanted I was referred to Pacific Lipo by a friend who had had work done by Rod years ago and had a wonderful experience.I personally met with the staff and Dr. Walker for a consultation. He took the time to explain everything and answer all of my questions, he had genuine about making sure it was exactly what I wanted.From my initial phone call, consultation, pre-op, and now post-op care The staff has been nothing but amazing. They work as an entire team and are dedicated to each individual patient. They are very sweet and I have been able to ask questions 24/7 and get responses!! The absolute best decision I have made for myself was to work with Pacific Lipo for my tummy tuck and LIPO needs. Highly recommended!!

Procedure performed 17 Days ago by Dr. Sam Assassa.I was given a referral for Pacific Lipo by a friend who had a similar procedure and she was thrilled with the results.Dr. Assassa was excellent from the beginning. The office is immaculate and the entire staff is very professional.The Dr. has excellent bedside manner, demonstrated care for my health, and gave me a realistic expectation of the outcome. He also suggested I consider waiting until the end of summer to have the procedure performed, as Id need to avoid the sun for 6 weeks post-op, which was even more reassuring, being indicitave of someone who doesnt need my business....Procedure took 5 hours, performed with oral sedation and local injections, I was awake, but not completely lucid the entire time.There was no pain....not during the procedure, and thus far, not in the recovery. I didnt even need Tylenol.Went home that evening, had dinner, went to sleep and woke feeling good. Day 4, I was back in the gym doing light cardio, for which I may be admmonished, (if he reads my review prior to my first follow up)Still swollen, I can already see a dramatic improvement in the treated areas, and Im told that Ill continue to see improvement for weeks, and even months.Pacific Lipo was also competitive in their pricing. I did get 2 additional quotes, but chose Dr. Assassa because this procedure was a core competency of his, the others seemed to lack the specialization I sought.Highly Recommend!Bill

Very unprofessional people need to report them to the Medical Board. Yelp does nothing, so start putting these people in jail and then you will see real results. Why would anyone put their life and body at risk with a physician assistant? Its mind blowing the lack of common sense from all these people.

The staff are great, and the results amazing!

I am re-posting my original yelp review from Monday September 15th because Dr. Rod had it removed (probably not the first time). Everything is my post is factual and readers have the right to know. I feel strongly that the fact Dr. Rod only allows five star reviews which is quite telling of his character. Well see how long it take for this to get removed again but here goes...I am so sorry to report my experience was completely odd, confusing, and uncomfortable. After months of researching Pacific Lipo, reading some pretty great reviews, watching videos, seeing the pictures, and sharing my excitement with friends, I am left feeling completely let down. I feel conflicted even writing this review. I have only ever written positive reviews, but hopefully it will save someone else a lot of time and disappointment. The consultation started and I was told by Rod how flat my stomach could be and that I was a great candidate for arm lipo. It was all pretty normal until I asked a question about recovery time, the numbing process, and going back to work. This is where everything changed. Rod said he believed I would be more comfortable with another doctor. I was really confused so I asked him to clarify if he was suggesting I go with someone else (because I asked about pain and the procedure??) and he confirmed yes. He ended to conversation abruptly and ended up opening the door and holding it open for me to exit before I had a chance to button the top of my jeans! I guess dont inquire about pain or process if you are at all interested in Pacific Lipo. I felt rushed out but was still wrapping my head around what just happened. On the way out Jasmine the receptionist reviewed my chart and again told me I could not receive treatment from Pacific Lipo. The whole process was about 10 minutes from his arrival to leaving the office. I would have liked to make that decision my own and maybe have been asked what my tolerance for pain is, but honestly I would not trust my body to anyone who has poor bedside manner or who is uncomfortable with an inquisitive patient. Again, I am truly sorry to not have good news to report! The whole thing was awkward, uncomfortable, and rushed.

I am now 11 week post op. This has be journey and experience I do not regret. I delayed my post so I can state my Truth. Having cosmetic surgery is ones choice, and you have to be mentally prepared for all of it before and after. When youre going though the process, a free consultation is the route to go. I am typically the type that would have to consult with many before I make a final decision but the moment I met the wonderful Dr. Walker and his pleasant surrounding staff... I was express!! But what made me chose Dr. Waker was his honesty and his upfront personality. Dr. Walker tells you the real no cutting corners. He doesnt make promises, but he is committed to making sure you understand what he can do for you , and it might not be what you envisioned or was hoping for, but in the end if you follow his direction and be open and honest and trust his process.. You will have impressive results that will change how you see yourself in the Mirror... Thanks Pacific Lipo, special thanks to the Stephanie#thebest, and I am forever greatful to Dr. Walker for restarting my life...Forever 21!!!

Let me start off by saying that Pacific Lipo was my 4th consultation for a TUMMY TUCK & LIPO and out of all of them they were the ABSOLUTE BEST!From the minute you walk in , the staff is warm , welcoming & friendly.Other doctors couldt have met my needs because of the risks in my blood circulation due to a scar from a previous surgery .Dr. Walker was confident in the process and took the time to listen to my request & concerns. Throughout the whole procedure Pacific Lipo remained knowledgeable , caring & professional .Dr. Walker is AMAZING.If you are interested in any type of body contouring, I highly recommend consulting with Pacific Lipo.Cynthia

Last month, I had lipo and BBL done by Dr. Walker and I am absolutely ecstatic about my results. From my initial consultation, Dr. Walker saw exactly what I saw without me having to say it. I was already curvy, but I needed contouring.He removed fat in places I didnt even realize needed removing and added it in all the right places. I had lipo on the back of my arms, front and back bra area, back, flanks and stomach ---- I had this huge booty hump of hereditary fat that I hated with a passion and he managed to get rid of it! All of these areas look amazing 6 weeks post-op. I still have a little bit of swelling and tingling, mostly in the area where my flanks were done, and I was a little nervous when some of the swelling didnt go down as quickly as I thought it would, but it was perfectly normal. Anytime I had a question or concern, Dr. Walker made himself available to me on the phone or made time for me to come into the office.Everyone in that office - the medical staff, awesome nurses and anesthesiologist who accommodated me and my over the top personality --- thank you so much!!I need to send a special shout out to the awesome ladies at the front desk Stephanie and Janine! Every phone call they made for reminders, paperwork completion (because I am a procrastinator) checking on me before surgery and encouragement post-op, and their friendly, smiling faces made a huge made me feel so comfortable and secure during the entire process.I recommend this office totally!!! I am in Tennesee and I would go all the way back to San Diego to have another procedure without hesitation. Love you guys!!! THANK YOU!!!

Amazing doctor Walker! Anbeliveable result with my neaples! I am so happy! He used local anesthesia, no pain. I saw result immediately after surgery. I never had so nice neaples! Thank you, Doctor. Definitely I will come to this Doctor for another surgery for my neck.

Take my advice and go to a BOARD CERTIFIED plastic surgeon, and heres why. I had lipo many years ago and was quite happy with the results. Earlier this year, I decided to have it done again; in the same area (tummy) as well as additional areas (love handles, flanks and hips). I initially was interested in their special pricing but was told that it didnt apply to me since I had had lipo previously and there were some corrective measures that had to be done which would cost more. Ok, fair enough. So instead of paying the special price, I paid almost double that amount. Like you, I was very encouraged by the reviews that I read about Pacific Lipo and was very excited about the results, particularly since I was their definition of an ideal candidate (not overweight, just isolated stubborn areas). My sensible side was telling me not to proceed with any of the lipo only practices cropping up all over the place, but rather go to a board certified plastic surgeon who, believe it or not, would have charged the same amount of money. But....those Pacific Lipo reviews! They were very encouraging so I decided to go with Pacific Lipo and in doing so, lost $7,000.00 and look almost EXACTLY the same as I did before I walked in the door. And thats not the worst of it. The worst of it is this.....as I went for my 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 4 month and 5 month follow up visits and voiced my concerns about the lack of results I was seeing, I was told either I still had swelling (and to be patient) or what I was referring to was skin (which I confirmed with three other doctors that it was, in fact, fat and not skin) or that if changes werent visible by the next follow up, we could explore some laser techniques. At the 6 month follow up, I put my foot down and expressed my unhappiness with the results. Did the Doc respond by saying Im sorry you are unhappy, lets review some options to see how we can make this right? Nope. Did he say ok, there are other techniques we can try to achieve reasonable results, including the laser techniques we discussed previously? Nope. He promptly directed me to refer to the agreement that I signed where it stated that results are measured by a 50 % measure meaning if your results are 50% better than when you walked through the door, hed done his job and basically youre out of luck. He also used the fact that I had previously had lipo as an excuse (ummm...yeah. isnt that why you told me I had to pay more to correct it?) as he slinked into another patients room to avoid having to continue the conversation with me. I can tell you in NO UNCERTAIN terms that my improvement is FAR BELOW 50%. When no one (and I mean no one including my best friend who did not see me until 4 moths after the surgery) notices that your body shape is even remotely improved, I would call that closer to ZERO percent. I can tell you from experience that a board certifed surgeon would have never let me walk out of that door without making sure that I was happy, or at the very least exploring additional measures to achieve reasonable results. Nope. This guy basically told me not to let the door hit me on the way out. As a final note, Id like to point out that I have no doubt that the positive reviews on this site are true and many people achieved the results they expected, but I would just recommend you consider the fact that if you are going to spend that kind of money, go with a doctor who is a BOARD CERTIFIED plastic surgeon. In many ways, it is a form of insurance for your investment because they will ALWAYS stand behind their work in my experience.

I have been saving for this surgery for over five years, I guess I was more mad at myself for not communicating with Pacific lipo. After leticia tried to draw blood from me and butchered both of my arms, it scared me, so I tried to get labs done somewhere else but everyone took two to three days. Pacific lipo tried to get me to come in to get lab work done for free, but because of my fear of having my arms butchered, I thought it I would go to my doctors office. It took longer then it was suppose to, but my appointment for surgery was cancelled and Im out of 1900 dollars, I know some people have it like that when it comes to money, but thats not the case with me. I have been very insecure with myself for a long time now and this is something that overall was going to help myself, and my well being. I can honestly say that I didnt know about the cancellation policy. I still had not signed my contract and didnt think that I would lose that money.....Now I didnt get my surgery and Im out of 1975.00....its very discouraging.....

My first visit was with Rod and the consultation went great, I have the classic C-section butchery that leaves a sort of flabby skin that folds over , I didnt want a tummy tuck, just lipo, Rod was honest with what I could expect and I was totally fine with it. Fast forward a couple years later and Im finally ready to commit, I came back, with check in hand, ready to to schedule my surgery when in come Dr. Assassa, ummm....okay. Im cool about it and let him check out my problem areas,he insists that I need a tummy tuck, I told him that I was not interested and would like just lipo, he refused to to help me saying that it would not benefit me and he will not work with me unless I agree to a tummy tuck, he then proceeded to hold out his hand and said Thank you for coming, sorry that I cant help you I was stunned and got ready to put my clothes back on. I then pulled out my phone and looked at the before and after lipo procedures on their website, there were lipo procedures done on women with a more pronounced sagging skin than mine and the after photo looked great to me. I asked to see the doctor again, I showed him the photo and said that why cant this be done for me and when its obviously possible. He looked at and said I dont know who did these but it wasnt me in my mind I was thinking......okay....so who did and why cant you do the same? but he didnt really care and once again he was quick to dismiss me. So Im bummed that Rod is no longer doing procedures, I was really comfortable with him and he was really sweet, This new Doctor made me feel like a reject and gave me a quick send off and I was really sad afterwards, I had been waiting so long time for this.

Absolutely amazing....Pacific Lipo is beyond 5 stars....From the staff to Rod amazing place amazing results. My arms looking amazing.

My experiences with Pacific Lipo have been absolutely amazing!I had a few liposuction procedures done back in 2012, when I was still stationed in San Diego and even though Im now living in the Bay Area, when I found out they were doing tummy tucks, I knew that was where I wanted to go for mine...Even though Ive had a c-section, I was ridiculously nervous about having this surgery done, but Stefani has been an absolute angel throughout the entire process, I wouldnt have been able to get through this without her.Today puts me at five days post-op and so far, so great! Dr. Walker has been there for me, every step of the way... and because of that, Im looking forward to my next procedure with him (more lipo and fat transfer to the breasts) in November, once my tummy tuck has healed enough.From the nurses to the anesthesiologist, I couldnt have asked for a more caring and talented team.Thank you, all...

I got a breast lift, brazilian butt lift and a mini tummy tuck all at once about 2 weeks ago and i must say already, im completely satisfied with the results. Dr. Walker and his team did more than an awesome job. The staff is extremely professional, always in a good mood and just overall great, i always felt welcomed everytime i went to the facility which made me even more comfortable with getting my procedure done there. I visited quite a few other facilities and none can be compared to pacific lipo. I highly, highly recommend this facility.

This place is absolutely amazing! From the time I called to schedule my consultation to my post op my experience was unbelievableThe minute I first walked in i just knew this was the place! Stephanie was very welcoming and brought me in to meet with Dr.Walker right away. He. Was very professional and informative. It was obvious he not only took pride in his work but was also experienced in what he does. This guy is a perfectionist lol. After consulting with him about a tummy tuck I knew without a doubt that this is where I was to have my procedure done. Before leaving I actually ended up not only scheduling for a tummy tuck but also a BBL and lipo! The days leading up to my procedure I started to get nervous and had a ton of questions that I didnt really think to ask at the consultation. Everytime I called the girls made me feel comfortable and made sure my questions were answered. They even scheduled me in a second time to meet with the doctor to ensure all my questions were answered. The day before my procedure they called to check on me which was very comforting! I went into my procedure confident knowing I was in good hands! Thank you letty for all your help as well! You girls Rock! After my procedure when I got home Dr. Walker called to check on me and make sure I was feeling well. They totally go out of there way to make sure their patients are taken care of. Today I am 2 and a half weeks post op and feel amazing! My results are everything I imagined it would be!! Thank you so much Pacific Lipo! Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have any enhancements done!

Staff is very unprofessional, they messed up on my appointment and they didnt even apologize. Rod is not even a doctor hes a PA, he also pays yelp to have all the negative reviews taken out so that he can have a 5 star rating.....I posted my review and next day it was gone. He pays yelp to do this!

During my visit to Pacific Liposculpture the staff was very warm and friendly. I am also very happy with my results. I know longer have to put on thing to hide my stomach. Rod Davis was the best, he continuously made sure I was comfortable before, during and after the procedure. I will always be grateful for the service I received from entire staff at Pacific Liposculpture you guys are the best.I have told all my friends about Pacific Liposculpture.Thanks,Kristie

Hello, my name is Tamar Barham and for the past seven years I have been struggling with my weight. I feel like I deserve Free Lipo with Pacific Lipo because I have been trying to lose weight for many years and I have not succeeded. When I was 15, I was told by a specialist that I need a breast reduction because the weight of my breast was jeopardizing my back and shoulders. We tried to get a breast reduction but the insurance would not pay for it because they considered it as cosmetic surgery and not a necessity. I am a mother of two boys and each time I exercised I either got bigger or didn’t lose any weight. I started gaining weight after having my first child. I exercise on a regular basis and I could not lose the weight. This weight has lowered my self-esteem but I keep trying because I do not want to give up on me. Currently, I still suffering pain from my back because of the weight issues. I cannot afford lipo with my job and it would be Godsent if I could win and have this procedure. Thanks!

My stomach looks horrible! Had smart lipo and Rod left me lumpy, dented and deformed. This was the worst decision Ive made. So disappointed.
