“After a lot of research, I chose Dr. John Andre for my facelift and neck lift, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From my very first consultation, he truly listened to what I wanted: to look like a younger, refreshed version of myself (not like a different person). He completely understood my goals, and the results exceeded my expectations. I still look like me, just more rested, refreshed, and confident. Dr. Andre’s attention to detail is incredible, and his work is truly meticulous. Beyond his surgical skill, what impressed me most was the care he provided after surgery. He checked on me regularly, answered every question, and made me feel genuinely cared for throughout my recovery. I’ve never experienced that level of personalized care from any physician. If you’re considering facial rejuvenation and want natural-looking results from a surgeon who is exceptionally talented and truly cares about his patients, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. John Andre. I’m beyond grateful for my experience and absolutely love my results.”
“Dr. John Andre is absolutely the BEST!! I highly recommend his services! He did a lip lift and not only was it fast and easy, but the results were beautiful!”
“I had an amazing experience at Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery! Dr. Horowitz did a fantastic job on my breast augmentation, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. What really stood out to me was how much he genuinely cares about his patients throughout the entire process, especially during post-op appointments. He takes the time to check on your healing, answer questions, and make sure you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. The staff was also kind, professional, and welcoming, and their pricing felt very fair compared to other places I looked into. Overall, I highly recommend Pacific Center and Dr. Horowitz to anyone considering a breast augmentation or cosmetic procedure!”
“I’ve been coming here for over 5 years, and my family has been patients even longer. This place truly feels like family. Dr. Horowitz has a kind, calm, and reassuring bedside manner and is extremely patient and knowledgeable. He takes the time to listen, makes sure you feel completely comfortable before and after procedures, and is genuinely caring. He is always accessible for concerns and makes you feel truly taken care of. The staff at both the Pacific Surgery Center and the BioSpa are amazing—warm, professional, and always happy to answer questions and address any concerns. They go above and beyond to make sure you receive the best care and service possible. This is a top-tier cosmetic surgery center and medical spa, and I couldn’t recommend them more.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having a surgical procedure performed at the Pacific Surgery Center. The staff, which included Holly, RN, and the two Surgical Technologists, were most professional and provided excellent care to me during both the surgery and recovery periods. I would also like to give special recognition to Holly ,RN, who was an exceptional charge nurse. The OR was equipped with state of the art surgical and medical equipment which made me feel safe and reassured. The surgeon and anesthesiologist, were both highly trained physicians, that provided excellent care to me throughout the surgery. Thanks to the care of this Team, my procedure went well and my recovery has been without incident. I highly recommend this Surgery Center to others! Thanks”
