Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I am delighted with the results of the 2 fat transfers performed by Dr. Nitta to fill my cheeks. I'd had another plastic surgeon's office tell me that I needed a face lift that would require an overnight stay in a hospital & would cost a minimum of $12,000. Dr. Nitta explained why she recommended fat transfer over other procedures and gave me a written cost before I left the consultation. Schedule a consult with Dr. Nitta before having plastic surgery done by anyone!

I had a face and brow lift with Dr. Nitta. Natural looking result with incisions well hidden. Small quiet office near Hoag. She honestly told me a few procedures other plastic surgeons recommended for me were not needed.

Dr. Nitta was highly recommended to me by another physician but meeting her personally and becoming her patient surpassed any expectations I had. If you're looking for a surgeon who takes time to educate you, put you at ease about possible treatments / procedures and takes care of your any concern Dr. Nitta is the one to see. She offers great variety of options for the issues you might have. My personal experience has been second to none with this amazing doc. I had a few things done by her and
