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.

Culturally competent, active listener, PRECISE
Dr. Savalia, is the most unpretentious, cogent, and culturally competent plastic surgeon between San Diego and Orange County. I’ve consulted with 11 surgeons and teams over 3 years dealing with insurance and self-advocating for a medical breast reduction, I can say this with confidence and firsthand knowledge. Here are the specs:38F to 38C.I’m 5’2 thick-fit build, usually a size 10, and my arms and legs are exactly the same length. I’m a voluptuous hourglass at 190 lbs and 41 years old. I work out 5-6 days per week most of my adult life and cold plunge most days.Chronic neck and trapezius pain since leaving a physical job and returning to white-collar workforce. I developed nerve impingement, thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical dystonia and migraine all from decades of bra straps bearing down on my traps and bikini tops literally cutting off circulation. My full breasts hung to the crook of my arm. He’s perceptive to your motivation for surgery and responds in kind.

Dr Savalia is the Best !
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I was devastated ! When I was told I had to have a double mastectomy it was as if my world just faded away and I shut down! I was sent to see Dr Savalia as he was part of my breast cancer team! Prior to my visit I was terrified and apprehensive but when I walked into the office I was greeted by the friendliest and most respectful staff of any doctors office I had ever been in! I was taken into a room immediately. Both Kacey And Amber were amazing and helpful throughout the process! Dr Savalia immediately put me at ease as he has a very calming, compassionate and reassuring demeanor! Not once during any of my visits, either with Dr Savalia, Amber or Kacey did I feel rushed and believe me I asked a lot of questions! Not once was I made to feel like I was asking anything silly or taking up too much of their time! Now that my surgery is complete, I have to say Dr Savalia and his staff go way beyond and get 5 stars +++++ - I would give 10 i

I have been going to Leslie Stewart for many years. She is extremely professional in her knowledge about fillers and how and where to use them, she is an artist . Leslie is also a warm and caring professional and doesn’t rush when doing treatments. She is the best. The office staff is also very friendly and extremely helpful. Nancy

Leslie Stewart - all I can say is that I think she is a miracle worker! Botox and fillers - she knows exactly what and where and the amount. She is so nice, professional and precise. I would have no reservations recommending Leslie to anyone looking for a non invasive non surgical enhancement. She learned from the doctor who discovered the cosmetic uses of Botox. Can’t get any better than that.

Dr.. Savalia - I met Dr. Savalia during my most stressful vulnerable state: searching for a plastic surgeon for post mastectomy reconstruction. Honesty, realistic and great results! I’ve returned for a few more “refinements” in other areas of body and experienced fabulous results! Between the doctor and his staff, i always felt well informed and total care. Never an infection or any complications like I’ve heard other cancer patients who went elsewhere describe. Leslie (RN): amazing injectables

Dr. Savalia's skills as a cosmetic surgeon, his attentive staff and his friendliness are second-to-none! I recently had a facelift and full-face fat transfer. Dr. Savalia stopped in to see me as I was being prepped for surgery. The last things I remember before the anesthesia was administered were his words of encouragement telling me I would look great AND his smile! I had complete confidence knowing he was going to do a great job... and he did! Dr Savalia, you're the best!!

I was diagnosed with DCIS, and Dr. Savalia and my cancer surgeon performed oncoplastic surgery. During appointments in his office and on my surgery day, when I was very nervous, Dr. Savalia was calm, caring and treated me with a great deal of humanity and compassion. I've recovered well, and the result of my breast reconstruction is better than I anticipated. Everyone in the office is also kind, informative and runs on schedule.

Dr. Savalia was the surgeon who did my breast reconstruction when I had a tumor and lymph nodes removed. His work reflected attention to every tiny detail, including slightly keeping one breast different afterward. When I asked about it, he indicated that it would match after I finished my radiation treatment post surgery because radiation shrinks tissue. This did, indeed, happen. It was the bright ending to cancer treatment! Plus, he was very kind and attentive to my comfort throughout.

I had met with 4 to 5 other Doctors over the last 15 year before making the decision to finally work with Dr. Savalia. I had heard positive things about Dr. Savalia but he exceeded my expectations throughout the experience. Dr. Savalia is a very gifted surgeon and has true artistic ability. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Savalia for any type of plastic surgery.I feel very fortunate to have worked with him and his team and if I ever need plastic surgery again he would be my first choice
