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.

Sloppy and rushed work
Messy, rushed uneven scar. Promised Lipo on arms and back, it was not done. Had tummy tuck , the top bulges still after 2 years. Great bedside manner, thumbs down on work.

Dr. Lalla charged me $7,500 for a five-area liposuction surgery, plus an additional $1,000 to inject fat in my bottom area. On the day of the surgery, just as I was about to get wheeled into the OR, he told me that he would not perform lipo one one of the five areas because it would cause skin sagging. This was after he had OK-ed that area for lipo during two different appointments at his office. When I asked him about it at one of my post-op visits, my file was nowhere to be found to check on his notes. He wrote me a $300 check as a way to compensate me for the fact that he did not stick with our agreement. That math is obviously very much in his favor. Another issue was that he gave me expired medicine for my bruises. He scratched off the expiration date on the bottle with a pen, saying that "these things never expire." Obviously I never took those meds, but I did keep the bottle and showed it to him at a follow-up appointment expressing my concerns. He denied giving it to me.

Dr. Lalla was the answer to my prayers, he transformed my body, mind and spirit. I got a tummy tuck, breast reduction and lipo. From the first consult all the way to the day of the surgery, he was amazing, he answered every question and listened to my wants and needs, likes and dislikes. I was one of the first surgeries after covid hit and he was well prepared and handled me with care. I truly wake up every morning and love the body that I see in the mirror. This would not have ever happened if not for Dr. Lalla, and Gina, who took every text and panic phone call with ease. I give them more the 100% , Gina, thanxxx for helping me get this out anonymously!!!!!!!!!

I am currently recovering from a breast reduction and must say the experience so far has been a great I anticipated a very ugly scar and lots of pain. Of course I had pain and some scarring, but no way near what I imagined. Dr lalla and Gina are so nice and very caring. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a doctor of this caliber. You won't regret it

If your looking for a transparent plastic surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Lalla. His costs are affordable and service deliveries exceeds expectation. I am a former patient who was reluctant and apprehensive about plastic surgeons and their claims for body transformation . Dr. Lalla put my fears to rest and provided me with a realistic and comprehensive outline of what to expect before and after surgery. I challenge you to try him because you will not be disappointed.

Dr. Lala is a very caring and attentive physician. After searinging and going to many consults, Infinally found a doctor who I was comfortable with. I had a abdominalplasty "tummy tuck" with him March of 2016. After, 5 beautiful children I had a large bulging stomach that Dr. Lala transformed into a wonderful flat stomach. I would recommend him in a heart beat!

Dr Lalla is an amazing plastic surgeon! I had an abdominoplasty and breast lift 1 year ago and had incredible results!! I can barely see any scars. Dr Lalla and staff were patient and caring throughout the whole process. He always answered all of my questions and addressed all of my concerns promptly. I recommend him highly for all procedures!! I am sending my daughter to see him for a tummy tuck!!!

Just terrible with the tummy tuck did a rush job. The cut was not straight all over the place. My inside stich were coming out. Did an uneven cut on breast line. Left more loose skin towards one underarm area than the other. Just a terrible experience he rushes with his job which is not going to good at all at the end.
