"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!"
"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."
"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."
"Skincare Trial Day 1 - Day 1 of Dr Sonia’s new product line to help treat melasma on ethnic skin types. I have struggled with this for about 15 years, have treated with ok results but am excited to take it to the next level."
"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."
"THEY ARE OPEN DURING COVID-19! I went back after 18 months for a laser hair removal follow up and Dr. Sonia and the staff were so incredible welcoming and nice! They are taking the best precautions to keep their staff and clients safe. My follow-up went really well and I love my results from my hair removal!"
"Great Laser services & Dr.Sonia is awesome! Prices are reasonable and the Staff is also very friendly.~ Amna"
"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."
"Both Dr Bansal & Dr Sonia are amazing with their helpful advise and recommendations, but most of all their bedside manner. Their staff is amazing as well. My Cool sculpting experience went great with Miss Rema. She made my procedure so enjoyable! A well oiled machine is the best I can put it... Thank you Elite MD!"

"I came to their new spa in beverly hills and it looks very nice. I did a laser anti aging procedure and my forehead looked tighter...I need to go in for another 2 procedures to make it permanent. 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."

"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. 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 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."

"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 just had sculptra injections a couple weeks ago with Dr. Sonia. I am extremly happy with my results and will be returning in a couple weeks for my last treatment. Environment is inviting, warm with a professional staff."

"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!"

"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"
"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 ?"
"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."
"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.

"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."
