"i went to Elite MD for fillers for my face and under my eyes due to hollowness, and also got lip fillers . I was so lucky and fortunate to have Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal do the proceedure . There's no question that having a professional and experienced practioner like Dr. Bansal who absolutely addressed the concerns I have about the loss of volume in my face and underneath my eyes . I am so thankful and happy with my results and highly recommend Elite MD MedSpa and Plastic Surgery center for facial rejuvination / fillers . This place is so amazing . Staff are also wonderful, friendly and professional. 5 stars for Elite MD!"
"I had my fillers done today with Dr Sonia Bansal. She was so gentle and made sure I was comfortable. I had my Marionette lines done, under eye hollows and lines around my mouth. I used Juvederm XC and Juvederm Volbella. When I left, the results were amazing!!! I can't wait to see the results in 2 weeks. I highly recommend Elite Md. The staff are super friendly as well."
"Great Doctor That Looks at Health Holistically - My experience at Elite MD and with Dr.Bansal has been extraordinary! Dr. Bansal is an expert and has greatly helped me reduce the inflammation in my body and solidify the amazing results from my procedure. I've never met a doctor that has looked at my health holistically like Dr.Bansal and I see great improvement in all areas. He always keeps it honest and real, and I love that he tells me what I need and not just want I want to hear. I am 6 weeks post op with my smart Lipo and am loving every part of my experience from pre booking through post op. Highly recommend using Elite MD for your future needs."
"Danville Elite MD is a great location to get medical services, Face, Body and good skin care. The Staff are knowledgeable in all areas of services. Dr V Bansal and Dr Sonia are amazing medical experts in what they are trained to do. I had many years of discomfort with my health and body weight. I exercised, changed my diet to a clean protein diet. I cut all sodas and no all fried foods, yet I was not able to loose weight. My metabolism slowed down and I was experiencing lots of digestive issues. Drinking coffees made it worst. One day I was watching morning news and a commercial came on with Dr Sonia she explained a procedure that women should look into to remove stubborn fat that does not go away with exercise. I listened and made a decision to do my research and looked into scheduling a consultation. I was fortunate to talk with Vanessa the Director of Elite MD. We talked for hours , she answered all my questions about the procedure and what made it comfortable to know Vanessa had the procedure done. She went step by step what was going to take place. I felt confident to schedule my procedure.It has been 1 month now since I had my procedure completed. I am healing well, I am walking, bending sleeping better and eating Plant Base food. No red meats, chicken or bread. I have lost 15 Ibs and that stubborn fat is gone from by belly. My blood pressure is back to normal. I am not taking any medications for any health conditions. I don’t miss drinking coffee or sodas or regular milk. I drink herbal teas and green tea to remove any toxins in my body. I wanted to improve my over all health and this how I did it. I know for certain I am prolonging my life having done the procedure. I look forward to continue my good healthy life style, so I can be around for my future grand children. I am so happy, I chose Elite MD. Dr Bansal and his staff always say to me "we are family now" I feel like a very fortunate women"

"Great discounts and affordable pricing - happy to be a patient here - I came in today to see Dr. Sonia. I had a great experience the staff is friendly and I always get good feedback from Dr. Sonia. The have amazing skin care products, great discounts and affordable pricing. I am so happy to be a patient here."
"Great experience - IPL is helping with brown and red spots - Great! IPL is helping with brown and red spots. Kathryn has the softest touch and is very knowledgeable, Lashaunta assistance was supurb as well. I appreciate the staff and treatment process.it was an awesome experience."
"8 Days Post Op and I Cannot Believe How Flat My Tummy Is - Wow! My entire experience at Elite MD Spa and with Dr. B has been OUTSTANDING! I initially scheduled consultations with three surgeons. The interview with Dr. B was arranged by his patient coordinator, Patricia, who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. I immediately felt a home and welcomed at the spa, from the front desk staff, Patricia and from Dr. B. After I met with Dr. B, I was so impressed, I cancelled my consultations with the other surgeons. I went in requesting a Tummy Tuck. I'm post-menopausal and the last two years, it seems like no matter what I did, I could not lose my tummy fat. I was devastated and stopped training, which of course means my tummy got bigger. :-( To my surprise, Dr. B did not recommend a TT, but instead recommended Vaser Lipo which his office specializes in. It is less aggressive than regular lipo offered by other surgeons. The VL also meant a less invasive procedure with significantly reduced down time.I also appreciate that Dr. B and his staff don't view patients as a bodies in an assembly line, but they really care. They are friendly and extremely attentive. Another HUGE pro for me is that Dr. B emphasizes his patient's commitment to life changes and proper nutrition for sustained results.Finally, I'm impressed that Dr. B specializes in treatments for people of color and "ethnic skin." His wife, Dr. Sonia, actually authored a book on skin treatments for people of color.Dr. B is in such high demand that the earliest appointment I could get with him was 2 months from my initial consultation. I chose to have the procedure conducted in his office with only local anesthesia. I took prescribed medication immediately prior to the procedure, and I was out the ENTIRE TIME and I felt NOTHING! I have a low pain tolerance, so this is HUGE! A remember chatting before the procedure and then getting into my bed at home several hours later. I don't know what happened in between! LOL!I am now 8 days post op and I CANNOT BELIEVE how FLAT my tummy is!!!!! Even with the swelling! I had a lymphatic massage about 6 days post-op (I highly recommend this) and was stunned at my tummy in the mirror after Rema worked her magic.Now I have a jump off point and I am committed to nutritional lifestyle changes (highly recommended by Dr. B) to keep this tummy FLAT!Do yourself a huge favor-book an appointment with Elite Md Spa. You will not regret it!"
"Very comfortable and enjoyable - this whole office is amazing - I had a botox consultation and injection with Katheryn. She was amazing! Very knowledgeable and thoroughAnd made my experience very comfortable and enjoyable! Very happy with the results. This whole office is amazing. Desiree was so kind and helpful in referring me and helping setup my appt, Tricia gave me a skin consult as well and I’ll be booking a facial with her also. All and all, a great experience!"
"My lips are my favorite - very symmetrical and juicy - I had a great experience when I had my lip, cheek filler and dysport injections. Crystal is amazing! she takes her time listening to your goal and achieve what you wanted to see in the mirror. She would do as you wish but would also suggest and give you practical options. I didn’t like that my face looks chubby now that I am older bec I am skinny so it doesn’t make sense to have chubby cheeks. I didn’t realize I’m a grinder until she pointed out why my jaw expanded. My years of grinding made my jaw grew wider hence the chubby face. She injected my masseter muscles and with that I will see contoured cheeks in a few weeks. (I already see minimal improvement btw) My lips are my favorite! It’s so sexy and juicy not lopsided, very symmetrical compared to the first lip injection I had at a clinic in San Ramon. Elite MD has a wonderful team of experts that will elevate your experience but I also highly recommend that you give her expertise a try!"
"After watching Dr.Sonia on KRON 4 multiple times, I realized that she was literally speaking to me and this is what I needed to hear. I made the call to Elite MD for my free consultation. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised to meet such wonderful people who actually listened to what I wanted and not try to encourage me to do anything more. I wanted to do something with my chin and stomach. The result of 3 children left me with more than I bargained for. Even with all the exercise and healthy eating I could not lose my stomach. I will tell you that the results exceeded my expectations. The pre-planning and the care taking afterwards were amazing. The information that is provided, the pros and cons, and brutal truth was extremely important to me. They reinforced my healthy eating as part of my healing process and I felt like they knew exactly what a I needed. 3 years later I went back for lipo on my arms and did not receive the desired results. After Dr. Bansal heard my concerns, we were able to come up with a plan together which gave me relief. I love the fact that services are done on an outpatient basis which allows me to go home same day. The use of modern technology is important and I feel safe. Every one of their staff members welcomes you and knows your name. They make you feel comfortable and that's why I keep coming back. As a "5 timer" and I never looked better at 59. My husband says I have the body that I did when we met in the 80's. When people tell me that I look amazing, I don't hesitate to give credit to Elite MD. I love what I see in the mirror today!"
"Best staff ever. Very thorough in explaining the products and services. @Rhea is the best. She is very friendly and makes you feel like you are part of the family. I recommend Dr. Sonia and her very capable team for all services and products."
"Juliet Torres gave me the best consultation I've ever had. I cannot say enough about her, meeting and talking with her made me decide to move forward with the procedure. The service and consideration showed, is par excellent, I have had appointments with both Dr. Sonia and Dr. Bansal, and recommend them highly. I did not feel rushed, and they were patient and kind, and really made me feel that they care. Their expertise in dermatology and plastic surgery, is self evident, in the results and the fast recovery which happens."
"Clinical trial participant dealing with hyperpigmentation/dark spots - have been a participant in Dr. Sonia's clinical trial for her skin treatment. This treatment specifically deals with hyperpigmentation/dark spots, other forms of discoloration in darker skin as well as acne.It's been almost 3 months and I am completely convinced that this is the ONLY, and I mean ONLY skin treatment that actual works for me. I'm over 40 and have been using retin A (prescription grade) off and on since 1992! I've tried different cleansers, creams, mask etc. I've even had "blue light" therapy for my acne. For my dark spots, I've tried skin lighteners such as cyspera and spent over $200. All have minimal results. However this product Doctor Sonia formulated has not only cleared my skin, it has soften my skin, minimized pore size and visibility and lighten the dark spots and discoloration from acne.The tinted primer and sunscreen is supposed to lighten dark spots and provide protection from UV rays. However I apply this primer before applying foundation and it works wonders. I'm not a regular when it comes to wearing make up of any kind but the tinted primer makes my foundation blend perfectly and evenly. Furthermore I don't deal with break outs as an after effect of wearing foundation.I honestly could type an entire essay as to how tremendously satisfied I am with my results. I look forward to this product becoming available for everyone who has faced skin challenges such as myself."
"Samaya Acne & Pigmentation System - This new product I have been using has been life-changing I’ve been battling with hyperpigmentation acne and the ugly scars it has left behind from breakouts i’ve only been using this product for such a short amount of time and it’s cleared up pretty much all of my acne, it’s also knocking down the hyper pigmentation. I definitely will recommend to anybody that is dealing with acne problems to try this product."
"The customer service I have been getting is outstanding - My visit starts here at elite back in 2003, on and off been coming here due to the customer service I have been getting is outstanding to say the least. From the front seat all the way to drs and nieces"
"She explains everything 100% - The office staff is Absolutely Fantastic. Dr. SONIA makes sure she explains everything 100%. She makes you feel comfortable and that's what's important. I Truly Appreciate her and her Staff. Thank You for Changing My Life!!!!!"

"Clinical Trial - I am currently in my first week of a clinical trial for hyperpigmention in/for people of color. So far the product has been great. NO itchiness, redness or peeling. There hasn't been any lightening yet but that's to be expected...its on the first week. I know it's a process but I'm so excited to be a part of this! I've gone to EliteMD for other things and everything they have done is just wonderful and with great results! Can't wait to up date all of you soon!"

I feel that they listen to what I have to say and I don't feel rushed.I recommend Elite MD for any services that you may be looking for."
"My "GO TO" Place for Cosmetic Procedures and Treatments. - Today I had Dysport and Forma (non surgical skin tightening) for my neck. Both were painless and I was put at ease. I have also had Liposuction Surgery with her husband, Dr. Vivek Bansal, best decision ever. Can't wait for my future treatments."

I've been going to Rikki for years and I have complete trust in her. She knows the look I’m going for and will always be honest and tells me what looks best. She is a true artist. You can’t tell she loves what she does. I have sent several friends to her for Botox and filler and all of them are just as happy as I am."
"Dr.Sonia was awesome she was very detailed with recommendation for me and explained it well.... I highly recommended coming to see her. I will definitely keep coming"
"I've seen Dr. Sonia Bensal twice and she's amazing! She’s very caring about all of the concerns that I had regarding my skin. She's outlined an excellent skin regiment with the type of skincare I need and what a big difference! Her skincare line is amazing! I have also had two Hydroficial Treatments. My face has never felt so clean, smooth and healthy!! Her Staff is incredible. Love you all for the care and love you show your patients and especially show me!!"
"Dr. Sonia is the Absolutely Best. She makes you feel comfortable while explaining everything before she does anything."
"As I've gotten older the veins in my legs have gotten worse. Two years ago I had a procedure done which removed what us referred to as "THE BUMPY VEINS" in my legs. Even though my kegs felt better I still had remaining spider veins that were not removed. I have seen Dr Sonia on tv for sometime and thought why not make an appointment to see her. I have not been disappointed at all! Not only is she the amazing person you see on tv but in person you definitely appreciate her more. She explained the process and what could be done for my situation and I haven't been disappointed! After my first appointment I felt comfortable enough to wear shorts again. I now have had my second appointment and look forward to wearing shorts and dresses more often! Thanks Dr. Sonia and tge EliteMD team!"
"Loved my experience with Dr. Sonia at Elite MD. She went over preventative treatments, skin care, and maintenance for my neck and décolletage. I’m very happy with the results and I’ll be back."

"For those of you who have dark facial hair and are wondering if laser hair removal works? It is definitely working for me! After having kids my facial hair got darker and thicker and nothing else worked for me except laser. I’ve been having treatments done here at Elite MD San Ramon, 4 treatments so far and I’ve noticed a huge difference the hair is disappearing each time and I’ve never felt more happy and confident, and I’ve been wearing less makeup as well. The treatments don’t take long. The laser feels like quick zaps with some heat. And then you come back around 6 to 8 weeks. Dr. Sonia and the staff here are so nice and take good care of me, I’m so glad my Aunt Deanna referred me here. I definitely recommend it!"

"I elected to have laser treatment for my rosacea and because I had been an Elite MD patient before I knew where to find treatment. Everyone in the office is friendly and professional. The MA took a complete history and Dr. Sonia explained the treatment. A medical student was in the room, and I felt like a student myself. I learned a lot about triggers and treatment for rosacea and I'll make sure to take better care of my skin in the future. I have two more treatments to go, and I look forward to seeing the end results!"

"My journey with Elite MD has definitely been long, but that comes with the treatment of laser hair removal. It is important to communicate the problems you have with your face, to the doctors and staff so they can help find a solution. They truly have helped me overcome the battle I have had with the hair on my face. It's hard to open up about these problems especially at a young age, you worry about your image, but now I feel confident in showing my skin. Thank you Dr. Sonia for really helping me, making me feel comfortable at all times and for explaining why some treatments weren't showing as much results as other times. Thank you to the staff as well, for keeping a positive and friendly approach to your clients. I hope this encourages people to make themselves feel good about coming into Elite MD."

"I have been going to Elite MD for several years for laser treatments. I have always been helped by friendly staff at the front desk. The nurse practitioners I have seen have been knowledgeable, professional and kind. I have never felt like they are trying to up sell me. I saw Dr Sonia today as my normal nurse practitioner is out on maternity leave. She offered great advice for keeping my skin healthy while she treated me. I would and have recommended this business to my friends and family."

I also did a laser hair removal treatment and no scars or spots from it. I even have a darker complexion but her lasers were very safe for my skin. Dr Sonia is also very friendly and will kindly answer all your questions you have."

"When the time came for me to take on the aging process head on, there was no question that Dr. Bansal and the truly amazing team at Elite MD were who I trusted to guide me. Thier commitment to my health and my goals, has been a partnership I value more than I can say here. Everything was thoroughly discussed. The best procedures that would actually give me the natural results I was looking for. Dr Bansal was so kind and his expertise is remarkable.He took the time to help me understand what was best for me at my age. I knew I was in the right hands.

"Always a Great Experience - Elite md is an amazing practice. Dr. Sonia has helped me in too many ways to list. They have made me feel so comfortable and I enjoy being a patient here. I have volunteered to be a model patient for them and would do it again. They show the highest standards for safety protocols. It’s also such a warm environment. The staff is very welcoming and make you feel at home. they really take their time and get to know you. My husband loves coming as well because of the family feel in the office. Dr. Bansal is a fantastic surgeon as well. He is very detail oriented and meticulous."
"I highly recommend Elite MD to anyone that is interested in getting Kybella. Dr. Sonia did an excellent job of explaining the process and making me feel comfortable. As far as results go, her extremely sweet team does an excellent job of documenting your before and after. They even gave me a call the next day to ensure I was doing alright. After my first session I can see my jawline is becoming more defined and I’m looking forward to my end results after my second session."
"Dr. Sonia and the girls are great! I am always happy with my results"
"This place is amazing and I 100% recommend it to everyone! The staff is so friendly and welcoming, Dr. Sonia is very professional and understood all my concerns. I went in for dark spots I've had for a year now and she used an educational board to explain the problem and exactly how she will treat it. She explained everything so clearly and everything was so easy to understand. This place made me feel comfortable and I walked out excited to start my treatment!"

"Real results and caring staff! - I highly recommend Elite MD to anyone that is interested in getting Kybella to improve their side profile and jawline. I decided to go to Elite MD because of their reputation and the results that I had seen with laser hair removal and CoolSculpting. Dr. Sonia did an excellent job of explaining the Kybella treatment process and making me feel comfortable. I also appreciated that she correctly set my expectations on how my results would look after the first treatment. At no point did I feel pressured to return. As far as results go, her extremely sweet team does an excellent job of documenting your before and after. They even gave me a call the next day to ensure I was doing alright.

"Dr. Sonia takes an approach to skin care that is not just an administration of a treatment, but rather an educational experience that provides details in understanding the steps necessary on a journey to clearer skin. I have come to her to correct slight difficulties I have in dealing with my sometimes, challenging ethnic skin. I have been on her topical regiment for a little over a month now, and the results are very noticeable. My breakouts have been extinguished, my hyper-pigmentation reduced, and my ingrown hairs (beard) are a far less often sight. I look forward to the next steps in finishing the journey to achieving my dream skin! The professionalism as well etiquette of Dr. Sonia and her team have made my experience a truly enjoyable journey thus far."

"I first saw Dr. Sonia over a year ago for melasma and she referred me to work with Linda, her clinical aesthetician. Since being under Linda's care my skin has completely transformed. She has CAREFULLY done a number of Melanage peels and has brought my skin to the point where I do not need to wear make up! Additionally, with Linda's recommended skin care home regimen, my skin has gone from being oily to looking dewy and hydrated. I have been to a number of aestheticians have not encountered anyone with Linda's expertise and experience. She is truly passionate about skin care and constantly staying abreast of the latest technologies and treatments. Her approach is conservative yet very effective and she takes a lot of time explaining the science behind her interventions so that you have a successful home care regimen too. I am so happy that I have found an aesthetician as knowledgable, results driven and amazing as Linda! Finally, the staff at Elite is always so welcoming and friendly and they do a great job answering the phone within just a few rings."

"Great people here, the staff is friendly, personable and talented - the entire team is! Dr. Sonia was amazing from my initial consultation to my follow up, and onto the additional procedures that I receive at Elite. I am definitely satisfied with my procedure and also saved cost by using them over what my first doctor wanted to charge. I am glad I switched over, they are definitely in touch with the latest and greatest treatments."

"I went in yesterday for some Voluma in my cheeks and Botox in my forehead area. I was a little apprehensive about a full syringe of filler in each cheek but Dr. Sonia is very skilled at her craft and was able to achieve the desired natural look I was hoping for. Everyone at Elite MD goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and knowledgeable about the services you are receiving. I would recommend Elite MD to anyone who is looking to refresh a tired face, like me, or who is just trying to maintain a youthful natural glowing appearance! I will most certainly be back!"
"I was selected as a model for the Facebook live event and got the Juvederm lip filler. I am beyond amazed with how painless this process was! I got half a syringe before at a different office in LA last year but this time I got the full syringe here and I love my pout look! Very natural and no bruising! Loved the girls there as well. Alyssa helped me feel comfortable throughout the whole process alongside DR. Sonia! Thank you to all the girls at Elite MD! I’m telling all my girls about you! � The pic I attached it literally right after my appointment �"

"I went to Elite MD and found them a professional, full-service skin care facility. They can do anything from routine skin upkeep, like chemical peel or facials, all the way to a face lift and more. But when I went in for my skin care recommendation, I encountered Juliet, a long time esthetician I knew from years ago, and I trust her implicitly. They also have the well-known Dr. Sonia, that I had seen on television, her husband Dr. B. (who has the best chair-side manner) and they even fly in Dr. Lesavoy, a renown Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon, arguably the best in his field. After my services, they treated me like a friend and remembered my name. Overall, a top notch facility, clean and organized. I highly suggest you go in for a consultation and enjoy your "new" you!"

"Best Dermatologist in the East Bay - Dr. Sonia and her practice at Elite MD is the best overall experience you will have with a provider. Elite MD is professional, family oriented and treats their patients as if they are family. Dr. Sonia will always be honest, upfront and will provide you with the best treatment needed. I highly recommend to call and book an appointment today."
"Awesomeness! Dr. Sonia is a wonderful person! Thank you for chatting with us yesterday!"
"I had a great experience with Dr. Pao and Dr. Bansal. Top-notch care before and after. Highly recommend Dr. Sonia too for dermatology. Love them all!"
"I came to Elite MD with my brother who is a patient of Dr. Bansal around September 2015 for one of his follow-up appointments. While in the waiting room, I started watching their videos, looking through the catalogs and client reviews. I had always wanted to do something about my body, especially after having my 3 children, I was not feeling too hot or happy with what the mirror reflected. My 50th Birthday was coming up and my brother told me that as his gift to me for my birthday he would give me some money to get whatever I wanted done at Elite MD. First I was not sure what I wanted between Laser Liposuction or tummy tuck, I had a lot of questions and I probably drove the staff there crazy, sorry Vanessa and Candy 😁, anyhow, they were very helpful answering all my questions and helping me make a decision. I applied for CareCredit to finance the rest of the payment for my Tummy Tuck, bilateral flanks and bilateral sub-axila procedure. I had my surgery on 12/14/15, two days after my surgery I went for my Post-Op visit with Dr. Bansal, thanks to Sherry, within a week from the surgery I was able to stand upward. With the encouragement and advise from the staff and Dr. Bansal, I am learning to change my life, starting with my eating habits. Dr. Bansal continues being supported and keeping me on track. I had my 6 month follow-up check up today and he says I look great, I already know that 😁 Because I see it in the mirror and people who know me tell me I look great and that also boosts my self esteem. This has been Life changing for me, gave me back my self esteem and I like the way I feel and the way my clothes fit. I fell off the wagon for a little bit with my eating but I know I am getting on track and be better with all the support I have and I will not let myself go back to that old self. This is a lifetime change for me, I want to be healthy and starys with me being happy. I love the new and improved ME. Thanks Dr. Bansal Sonia Sandoval"

"I will update this review later, but my initial experience with Tasha at Dr. Badreshia's office was extraordinary. Tasha was kind, patient and professional. She made me feel so welcome to this dermatology practice and found a way to schedule both my husband and I at the same time for our initial appointments. Not all doctor's office hire such warm and knowledgeable people as Tasha, but they should. I now know that we made the right decision to switch to Dr. Sonia Badreshia."
"68 Years Old -Danville, CA - Upgrade appearance. Excellent treatment and outcome. Doctor Sonia made feel that I was in the hands of a caring expert. There was a sense of thoroughness and great attention to detail. I am certain that I could not have better treatment from any other doctor. Highly reccomend this clinic for best results."
"Amazing Practice! - Danville, CA - I first met Dr. Sonia about four years ago after seeing her on KRON 4. I called and made a consultation for laser liposuction. Dr. Sonia spent a good amount of time with me consulting me about the procedure and then I even met Dr. Bansal the same day. Dr. Sonia was so informative and made me feel so comfortable that soon after I scheduled my procedure. Since then I have used Dr. Sonia for a possible skin cancer on my lip and she quickly got me in and took care of it. She is always so caring and personable. I have also used Jeff for botox, juvederm and laser treatments...he is also amazing. I have used Linda for facials and she is the best there is. I have also had three procedures done by Dr. Bansal and he is a true artist at plastic surgery. I am so glad I called and met with Dr. Sonia four years ago and in turn met an amazing office for both dermatology and plastic surgery. I will never go anywhere else and have referred many, many friends and family and will continue to do so. Everyone has been more than happy with them!"
"Laser Treatment at EliteMD - Great Results and Education - Danville, CA - I recently had a V-beam laser treatment with Jeff Wheaton, RN and I was blown away with my experience. I learned so much about my skin, and about the different technologies that EliteMD and Jeff can provide to improve my skin tone, color and health. I had the V-beam treatment and had fantastic results!"
"Elite MD - The Best!!!! - How do I receive more compliments on my skin at 50 then I did at an earlier age? Answer, Elite MD It is impossible for me to write in such a few words how I feel about Elite MD and the team behind it. People do not realize that by taking a few steps each year in maintaining your skin care is not only more cost effective, but can prevent you from major expenses in the future, and the most important benefit is how GREAT you feel about yourself even as you age. From Linda their Clinical Licensed Aesthetician, Jeff with his amazing skills with lasers and Cynthia who could be truly labeled as a liquid artist, I have never met a team that is more passionate in what they do, and we all know the outstanding results that come from those who love what they do. It is crazy how I’m getting so many more compliments on my skin at 50 than ever before. I would love to be able to include my cell number so that anyone who is interested could call me directly. However, don’t take my word for it, make one appointment with anyone on the team, it will be the greatest gift you can give yourself and we all know there is NOTHING more important than feeling the best you can be, it makes dealing with all of the rest that life has to dish out a lot more bearable ?"
"I Love Dr. Sonia! - Danville, CA - She's the doctor for my entire family and we all just love her. There are not enough words to say what a great person Dr. Sonia is, and her professionalism goes beyond words. She has made me feel good about myself as a woman. She is an excellent doctor and all of her employees are just as great as she it. I'm very pleased with my results - amazed, in fact. Dr. Sonia performed wonders. I am so happy your office opened a third office in the bay area. Your expertise is needed here."
"Dr. Sonia is Amazing - Danville, CA - Saw her on Kron4 during morning news. I'm so pleased with Elite MD. Dr. Sonia is amazing. I've had horrible acne and scarring for 9 years and started to become annoyed with constant breakouts and having to wear makeup. So after watching the news one day, I saw Dr. Sonia on Kron4 and decided to set up an appointment. I'ts only been three months and I look 70% better. I can walk out of the house without putting my mask on. Thanks Dr. Sonia your the greatest!"
"Honestly, I am shocked at these reviews. Have we all been going to the same Dr.?I have been a patient for a little over a year and have visited the office for a variety of treatments: botox, acne, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion and Juviderm. I've only had great results and I haven't had any issues at all with anyone there. Actually, the front desk staff (both women) have addressed me by name every time I come in. Even when I've called to ask a question, they've always said my name and asked how my parents were. After I got Botox the first time, one of the assistants called me to check on me and couldn't have been friendlier.The Nurse Practitioner who works the lasers, does Botox injections, etc., has always been wonderful. He's an absolute EXPERT in working the lasers.....I LOVED my results and I think he has so much experience that he works those machines like a pro. I too have bought the Groupon Botox package (one last year and again just about a week ago) and even used the coupon I found in our local "Our Town" mag (She offered $9/unit, unlimited units) and never ever thought Dr. Sonia shorted me (and the Nurse Practitioner injected me too and I never thought he shorted me either). I saw the syringes. Same thing for my Juviderm, she showed me the vial before and after my injection.Dr. Sonia's always been so friendly and sweet with me. And every issue I've had with my skin, she's addressed, given me options, and gave me the results promised. For my acne, specifically, Dr Sonia was the ONLY Dr. who gave me an action plan to attack my adult-onset acne. She printed out a schedule for me which included a morning routine, evening routine, prescription meds to take and apply, etc. It was so organized and I am THRILLED with my RESULTS! My previous Dr kept me on Doxycycline for a YEAR without great results and just said to come back and see her next year (that's why I switched to Dr Sonia). Dr Sonia was the only one to present me with a full action plan to combat my acne and guess what? I am almost acne free today. The plan is really working. These are the best results I've had in 3-years. And regarding her products, for my acne, she recommended her own products AND over the counter stuff (she specifically mentioned Cetaphil and Neutrogena). She never ever tried to sell me anything. I plan to go back for more laser hair removal in March and a check-up on my acne. Next year, I'd like to consult her on that non-invasive lipo as well.I think Dr. Sonia and her staff are incredibly smart and successfully tackled the dermatological issues I presented them. I will keep returning."

"My Experience - Danville, CA - I wanted a rejuvenating procedure that would address my fine lines and wrinkles."
"Dr.Sonia and her team are absolutely amazing. I have been suffering from acne and acne scarring for about 9 years. I visited her office about 3 months ago after seeing her on the local news station during an interview. I am happy I didn't just rely on the unfiltered reviews on yelp, because if I did, I would have missed out on being paired up with the best dermatologist. It has only been three months and my skin looks 70% better and I have this amazing youthful glow. With my new acne regimen, my skin is clearer, my acne is under control, and even better this regimen has knocked 5 years of age off my face...naturally. Another best thing about Dr.Sonia and Elite MD would be her amazing staff, Jodi is very helpful and Amber is a total sweetheart; they make you feel so welcomed. Dr. Sonia also offers different products based on your budget; she gives you the top notch products and the cheaper alternatives to help you when purchasing the products needed for the acne regimen. I definitely recommend Dr.Sonia's Sunscreen and their in-house fading cream with retinol. I was already beautiful; always have been, but now with the help of Dr.Sonia, I'm drop dead gorgeous."

"I saw Dr. Sonia a couple of months ago and she recommended a series of facials to help with some minor skin issues. She referred me to Pam DePianto, Elite MD’s esthetician, and her facials are amazing (I’m going in for a third one tomorrow!). Pam is really knowledgeable and my skin texture has really improved after just two facials, without having to undergo any invasive treatments. I also have seen Jeff Wheaton, the laser RN, for rosacea - again with positive results. The office staff is great - they followed up with me the day after the laser procedure to make sure I was doing well. I’ve purchased a few of their products, all of which work really well. Everyone there is friendly and I highly recommend Elite MD."

"Best outcome I could have wished for. Dr. Bansal was able to give me exactly what I wanted."
"10 Stars!!I've been going to Elite MD for 7 months now, and my experience has been nothing but exceptional. If I was able to, I would give Elite MD 10 stars. I'll be honest, I've had a lot of plastic surgery work in my life, been to a bunch of doctors, and I heard about Elite MD through my large woman's group whose had quite a few members go to the clinic, and they all raved about them. I did extensive research on them and no where else could I find a combo dermatology and plastics clinic. But what really sold me on them was when I found out that they actually TRAIN OTHER doctors on cosmetic procedures. My experience there exceeded all my expectations they are so down to earth and I always feel so comfortable talking to them. And here's the kicker, folks...even though I went in for...let's just say a pretty invasive and expensive procedure :) (which btw, two other plastics guys had already recommended for me) Dr. Bansal recommended me for a less invasive procedure which, wait for it, WAS FAR LESS EXPENSIVE. My results have been phenomenal, and I even had another procedure done by his wife, Dr. Sonia!As I mentioned, I've been through a few plastic surgery offices in my life time, but I absolutely loved the beautiful, quaint offices, that did not feel like a medical office at all. The staff was extremely kind before, during, and after my procedures. Dr. Bansal called me that very night after my surgery, and his staff has continually checked up on me.Never at one point did I feel hard pressed to buy anything from them...in fact Dr. Bansal ACTUALLY encouraged me to go back to other plastic surgeons before I signed up, with a list of questions he gave me that he felt his patients should ask ANY doctor before they operated on me. If I were you, and you interested in dermatology or plastic surgery, make the appointment!! If you don't love the place, the doctors, and the staff within 5 minutes, I would be surprised. I know my friends have loved it just as much as I have. And if you don't have the time to go in, then turn on the television on Saturday mornings (I never miss a show) to KRON channel 4 and see how down to earth Dr. Sonia is. The only negative I experienced was hat I did have to wait 2 months for my procedure, but in reality, after seeing my results, I can see why they are so busy."
