  Nisha Patel MD,DPM

  Came in for ONE orthopedic insert, was spoken to and told that the price would be 200 dollars and I would get TWO for that price. I asked many times during that discussion if my insurance would cover, they agreed it would after checking. Was told any additional x-rays were also included. I was given a sheet to sign with that price, in the sheet it did said I could be charged more if the insurance did not cover, asked them to remove that part on the above agreement and they did that (actually crossed off by the lady in the front desk). Came back 3 weeks later to get them, was told that I needed to pay for X-rays and that my insurance only covered one insert and I would need to pay the other one. I am not sure what sort of business they are running, but if I took customers like this I would have trouble sleeping at night. Dr. Patel also provided me a nice fact that insurance in the US is not the same as Europe - which to be honest was quite patronizing given the situation. Avoid this place as they are completely unprofessional and will try to stick you for every dollar! I also did not see any improvement with the orthopedics we purchased. Total waste of time and money.

  Moncada, Dr. Elizabeth

  It was immediately obvious to me she is a skilled professional who cares deeply for her patients. She looked beyond the immediate problem and searched for contributing factors. She performed a detailed evaluation and quickly determined a workable solution. During her evaluation, she discovered unresolved issues stemming from an incident I was involved in while on active duty in the military. She developed a comprehensive treatment plan, referred me to other specialists and remained in charge of my treatment. Her all-inclusive evaluation and report enabled me to gain a higher disability rating from the VA. Dr. Moncada is amazing! I highly recommend her.

  Dr. Froozan is a very professional, compassionate and loving. I have struggled with my weight for years and she helped me lose 50 pounds. I had tried so many different things and have failed but with the support and love from Dr. Froozan I was finally able to do it, she had affected my life in so many ways I will be forever grateful. I would recommend VivaMD to anyone.

  Eshima, Dr. Issa

  This is a letter that I sent to Dr. Eshima which serves as my review: Dear Dr. Eshima, I want to thank you for what you have given me. It’s important to me that you know how deeply you have affected my life. Thank you for being the surgeon and artist that you are. I can’t begin to imagine the time and dedication that it takes for someone to perfect their craft to the degree that you have. It is obvious that you are passionate about what you do. You leave no stone unturned in your efforts to achieve the absolute best outcome for your patients. Your attention to detail, from the first consultation through the surgery and the aftercare, is beyond impressive. I wish every physician had your standard of excellence. If that were the case I would never have an issue with going to a doctor. Just as you predicted, I am beyond thrilled with my results. But you have given me so much more than “a beautiful face.” You opened a door for me that has allowed me to change my world. I have always had insecurities that I struggled to overcome. It was rare for me to feel that I measured up to whatever it was that I saw in others. I was very tough on myself and worked continuously to improve myself, including physically, emotionally and spiritually. I know that I made tremendous strides in my emotional growth and spiritual understanding; however, the way that I saw myself physically aging undermined my ability to enjoy life with abandon. So, as I got older, instead of feeling free to be who I have come to be, I became more self-conscious and more intimidated, which had a huge impact on how I saw and experienced my world. I can’t thank you enough for what you have given me. What you did for me gave me the opportunity to remove a huge emotional barrier that had held me back from experiencing my best life. I am still emerging from this physical and emotional transformation and I feel wonderful! I love the way I look and feel. I no longer feel self-conscious or intimidated. I appreciate myself, where I have been, and how far I have come. I have a renewed sense of my own self-worth and I want, more than ever, to take good care of myself and enjoy as many years on this earth as I possibly can. I now look forward to going out and being around people, and I have become a little more outgoing! I’m not sure my words can actually relay to you my deep appreciation for your extremely important part in my transformation. So, again, thank you Dr. Eshima. Thank you for what you do and for what you give. Thank you for what you did for me and for giving me the opportunity to appreciate my whole self. You just can’t imagine what a difference your gifts have made in my life. P.S. Thank you so much for spending so much time with my daughter. We both appreciate your honesty and your concern for what is best for her at this time. I have no doubt that you will be seeing her in the future!

  California Pacific Medical Center

  I recently caught the flu and thought I was going to have a heart attack. They were really superb. They monitored me, assisted and tended to me, and got my test results back in minutes.

  Eshima, Dr. Issa

  Dr. Eshima is an exceptional, very talented cosmetic surgeon and physician whose sense of aesthetics is instinctive. I had phenomenal results with 3 procedures: a ptosis repair, face lift and lip augmentation (I am in my 60s!). For me, the very positive results of all three procedures have made a HUGE difference in my appearance and are immeasurable in terms of my sense of self and self confidence. When you feel good about how you look, I'm convinced that you can contribute that much more to the world and those around you. Dr. Eshima made that happen for me. I'd like to comment specifically on my Ptosis Repair as it is a highly specialized, exacting surgery and you need a cosmetic surgeon who has that special expertise, experience and aesthetic sense to achieve the best results. There is no question that Dr. Eshima is that physician. Before my surgery, my left eyelid drooped considerably and the problem was quite noticeable. My eyelid is now perfectly placed (no more drooping) and it is aligned with my right eyelid which has no issue and is normal. I can't tell you how excited I am about the results - the difference is truly amazing! It is perfection! I also want to comment on Dr. Eshima's staff, Magaly and Cathy, who are true professionals. They are genuinely caring, extremely attentive and ALWAYS responsive. The support that they provided, every step of the way, from the initial consultation to pre and post op was amazing and more than reassuring. I can say that their care made a huge difference in my steady and positive recovery. In closing, Dr Eshima is a cosmetic surgeon beyond compare and, in addition, a very caring human being who makes a difference in his patients' lives. I feel so fortunate to have been his patient.
