About La Jolla Plastic Surgery & Dermatology
La Jolla Plastic Surgery & Dermatology, led by Dr. Richard Chaffoo and Dr. Susan Stuart, aims to provide the best possible experience for each of their plastic surgery and dermatology patients. Dr. Chaffoo, a triple board-certified plastic surgeon, offers surgical and non-surgical procedures for the face, body, and breasts, including breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and CoolSculpting. Dr. Stuart, a board-certified dermatologist, specializes in a wide range of medical spa and dermatologic services, such as laser hair removal and BOTOX Cosmetic. Patients have praised the exceptional care, kindness, and results they have received from both doctors. One patient, a ginger with skin cancer risks, has been awed by the care and attention provided by Dr. Stuart and her nurse Olivia during their photo dynamic therapy and micro-needling sessions. Another patient, who was self-conscious about the shape of her temples and forehead, had a life-changing experience with Dr. Chaffoo, who performed a hair transplant procedure to create a more feminine, oval look. The patient expressed deep gratitude for the personalized care, attention, and skilled execution of the procedure. Overall, the reviews highlight the dedication, expertise, and patient-centered approach of the team at La Jolla Plastic Surgery & Dermatology, making it a trusted destination for both plastic surgery and dermatology services.
This review is solely for the initial consultation. I was greeted extremely pleasantly by the front desk staff, as well as the beautiful waterfall feature as you walk into the lobby. Unlike other clinics, I did not feel rushed during my consultation. The pricing was very straightforward, no request for payment prior to procedure (like other places!), and they did not insist on multiple treatments (however they recommended 3 treatments for IPL and C&B laser). I felt like I was in good hands. To note, other friends are patients there—and speak highly of it as well. So glad I found them, after many failed communications and weird pricing policies at other clinics.
Dr. Wu provides exceptional care. He is so personable, easy to talk to, and is extremely knowledgeable. He is patient, kind, and a great listener and communicator. I trust his care and expertise. The staff is caring and will get the answer to any questions I may have. What I also like is that the providers all take pride in learning about the newest technologies and sharing that information with their patients.
Farzaneh is incredibly warm, kind, and compassionate. Additionally, she is a very knowledgeable medical aesthetician and is highly skilled at her craft. I felt like I was in good hands while she did a thorough examination of my skin, and I appreciated her taking the time to walk me through all of the procedures for my customized facial. Everything from the environment, the explanations, and the procedure itself were calming and relaxing. My skin is already so much healthier and happier after my first session, so I'm looking forward to coming back for more treatments!
