"I've been on a "journey" most my life-from trauma and some other life challenges- I began healing myself spiritually, a little later in life, but started the process nonetheless .both mentally and physically and in 2010 I was told I had diabetes taking meds and pricking my finger. So , I decided I didn't want to take meds or lose myself to this disease!I began learning to put good nourishing food in my body and it worked- I reversed the diabetes within two years and lost nearly 100lbs, by 2012 my body was feeling really good!! As a result of the weight loss I had a lot of loose skin- I hunted and searched for a DR I could afford and it was a struggle for me-over a period of ten years I saved up and found a DR in Atherton per a friend's recommendation-and decided to roll with it.While I am happy I got my skin removed from front I have had some not so good results from the process.Finding DR B AND VANESSA AND the team I feel like I have a support system and a life line for the rest of my life- since my previous surgery in 2019, I researched someone who could help me with my whole self!!

"Amazing Results with an Excellent Staff! - I’m a 42 year old Asian male that really struggled with unhealthy habits during the pandemic. I was looking for a reset and needed to get back in shape and lose around 10-15 pounds. I had a previous consultation for laser lipo at another place prior to coming to Elite MD, and I’m so glad I decided to come here instead! From the initial consult to the post op treatments, everyone has been amazing. The deciding factor for me was after meeting Dr. Bansal for the first time, he really put me at ease and explained things about the procedure that I didn’t even think of, for example, he specializes in ethnic skin and that was not even something I considered. I was presented with multiple options for treatment and did not feel pressured to pick one over the other, it was left entirely up to me and what I wanted to achieve, which I really appreciated. Both procedures were thoroughly explained, and I ended up choosing vaser lipo for my upper and lower abs, and flanks. I am 7 weeks post op, and have lost 13 pounds as of today, no more love handles and my stomach has never been flatter. This result couldn’t have been achieved without Elite MD, the guidance they provided was top notch, they were thorough, knowledgeable, and care about my results as much I do. This is my first cosmetic procedure, and if I do decide on another one down the road, Elite MD would definitely be my first and last stop."
"I received a BBL (back fat transfer only) from Elite MD in December 2022. I’m two months post-op and am quite pleased with the results! Here was my overall experience. Consultation (Oct 2022):I received a consultation in October 2022 for the BBL. I had already done lots of homework and knew exactly what I wanted, but it was good to chat with the doctor live. The consultation was quite procedural as expected.Surgery (Dec 2022):The surgery itself was in the Danville office with Dr. D as the lead. Not much that I can really report other than I wasn’t in any pain. The procedure was local anesthesia, but I felt like I was pretty knocked out for the whole time despite not having general anesthesia. In addition to the actual fat transfer BBL, Elite MD also did a fantastic job of sculpting my back to help create even more curves to emphasize the results of the BBL.Post-Op Care (Dec 2022):Within the first two weeks of surgery I had 2 or 3 check-ins at the Danville office. While the appointments weren’t always on time, once Dr. B was in the room I felt like I had his full attention without the feeling of being rushed. Elite MD also gave me a very prescriptive post-op program that I think is actually what the made the biggest difference in keeping my results. Perhaps the most important part was Rima, Elite MD’s lymphatic massage specialist who can work wonders on moving things in your body to where they need to be.Overall:All this to say that I’m super satisfied with the results and my only regret is not doing this sooner. The surgery was fairly pricey, but I actually received a different consultation estimate at another local provider that was more than double Elite MD’s rate. Yes, there are even cheaper rates if you travel for this type of surgery, but I always felt safe and in good hands during the whole process at Elite MD. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a BBL. In fact, I will likely go back for another fat transfer surgery in the next year or so!"

"Let me just start by saying if you’ve come this far, then look no more you have found the best! I am a 57-year-old female, I am very active, healthy and in fairly decent shape. That being said having carried twins in my early 30s, full-term, took a toll on my bikini stomach and left me with loose skin on my lower abdomen. I have been wanting a tummy tuck to get rid of my baby flap for many years. I also have wanted breast implants for decades. I started researching in earnest a few years ago, and realized it was very important to me to not go under general anesthesia, so I started looking at Vaser Laser Lipo with fat transfer to breast. I was attracted to Elite because they could do the laser, skin tightening and fat transfer to my breast at the same time, in office procedure, using local anesthesia only. I had my first virtual consultation with Vanessa. She instructed me on how to take pictures, upload them to a secure site where she looked at them and we had a long phone consultation. She took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything in detail. I knew that day that I wanted to have this team perform my surgery! I did decide to do my due diligence and continued my research with other surgeons in my own area. Honestly, none came close to comparing. Not one gave me the time and attention that Vanessa gave me in that very first consultation, and none of them were able to perform the same type of Sculpt and Vaser laser with skin tightening and fat transfer IN office, using local anesthetic only. All the others said they could freeze my stomach fat, but none of them could promise that my skin would not end up being looser as a result. I came down for an in office consultation with Vanessa where she again gave me all the time I needed to ask questions get recommendations and pricing, and I felt more like a friend than a client. I booked my procedure date right then and there!Francisco did my pre-op and before pictures, and is so professional and kind that once again I felt very comfortable and right at “home”. Rea retuned many calls, always with that very recognizable ray of sunshine in her voice. She has a way of making you feel beautiful through the phone. Dr. Bonsall met with me and took the time to review the entire process with me in detail to make sure I understood everything and answered all of my questions. He explained what to expect during and after, and best practices in diet and treatment post surgery for optimal results. I left that consultation full of confidence that I had found the best. I can’t stress how important it is to be able to have a Doctor who is willing to put forth the time to explain everything to you so you feel comfortable and understand what’s going to happen. My procedure went smooth; all I remember is being at the spa having my head rubbed the entire time! It was very soothing and I was very comfortable throughout the procedure. I am grateful I found Elite MD. Dr. Bansal has assembled the best team of professionals who are compassionate, kind and caring, who all are passionate about their trade and take pride in their work. Everybody on the team makes you feel like you are a person and that you matter and not just a number or another dollar bill to put in their pocket. They truly make you feel like you’re part of the family. I am now almost at week three and I cannot believe the difference in my body. I feel great, I was able to return to work within a few days, and have had no pain and minimal discomfort. My entire abdomen is flatter. My baby flap and love handles are gone, my breasts are full and round and my smile is big and bright! I feel and look great and am excited and happy to be back in my body and loving it. Bonus: I had a scar from a previous liver surgery that runs down the center of my abdomen; it used to be raised and lumpy and had caused some uneven lumps on my abdomen. That scar is now almost unnoticeable. I highly recommend Dr. Bansal and his entire team."
"* 3 months post procedure ** I am now 3 months post-op, and although I'm still in the early healing stages, I am happy with my results this far. I am so appreciative of how Dr.B set very realistic expectations from the start and how he gave me the tools to help set me up for the most successful outcome possible. One thing I kept reminding myself during the recovery is that he always reminded me of the 1/3 rule after my procedure. 1/3 of the outcome is based on the surgeons work, 1/3 is based on the patients postop care, and the last 1/3 is the universe and how your body responds to the procedure. This was great to remember during the healing process, and it kept me on track. I had a breast Aug with another PS a couple years ago, and I am still amazed how different EliteMd is. From their amazing family culture, maintaining good patient relationships, and their awesome bedside manner. I'm sure we can all agree that we typically only see the plastic surgeon once, maybe twice, if you're lucky. That is NOT how it is at EliteMD. I met with Dr.B before making my deposit, and he Zoom called me a week before my procedure. I then saw him the day of my procedure, and two times after at my post ops. This is unreal, considering how busy he and this practice are. When I first met Dr.B, I remember him telling me we are now family, and he truly followed through with his statement. I feel so comfortable talking to him and asking any questions I have regarding my results, and KNOWING he has my best interest at heart and truly wants me to be happy. This is irreplaceable. Another thing that is so different is ALL staff at this practice are so happy when you walk in the door. They make it a point to remember your name and are always so happy to see you. The management team is the sweetest, and they make it known that they truly care about your experience. I honestly look forward to my appointments here. Vanessa is truly amazing. She was there for me when I had questions throughout my healing, and it is such a great resource to have. One last thing I'd like to mention is how this is pretty much a one-stop shop, which is extremely helpful and convenient during the healing process. You can get your lymphatic drainage massages here (Linda, you are amazing), laser treatments, facials, and pretty much anything cosmetic related. I could go on and on about the amazing staff here. You all truly make the patient experience so amazing and unforgettable. Thank you, EliteMd"
"Dr. Bansal performed vaser lipo and J-plasma (renuvion) on my inner thighs, outer thighs, inner knees and flanks about five months, and I could not be more thrilled with the results and my overall experience. To provide some background, I am a 37 year old female. I am fairly slim and athletic (5'10", ~137lb), but have some problem areas that bothered me my whole life that I was unable to slim down through diet and exercise, namely my thighs, which were disproportionately large compared to my slim upper body. Part of the problem was loose skin, especially in my inner thighs. The loose skin was a result of having lost a lot of weight as a teenager - the most I weighed was 210-215lb, at age 17. While my skin retracted well when I first lost the weight gradually through diet/exercise, it began to lose elasticity with time, making my inner thighs unsightly. I first attempted to do something about my problem a couple years ago, when I saw a doctor in San Francisco, who performed laser liposuction on my inner and outer thighs. The doctor convinced me that she could get rid of the excess fat I had in the region while tightening the skin using a laser. I was underwhelmed by the results of the procedure, which left my thighs uneven, unsymmetric (one thigh was noticeably bigger than the other) and with even more loose skin. Moreover, the doctor took out almost no fat, meaning I actually looked worse as a result of the procedure - my thighs were still big, but were now uneven and with more loose skin. I began to question whether it's possible to correct the problem with my thighs without doing a highly invasive procedure (thigh lift) but decided to see Dr. Bansal for a free consultation. During my consultation, I was told about vaser and J-Plasma, and decided to go with it after researching it a bit myself and realizing it was exactly what was needed to improve my problem areas without doing a thigh lift. The staff in Dr. Bansal's office were all incredibly helpful and responsive, especially Tricia Starke, the patient coordinator. She generally responded within an hour to any message I sent her and was very knowledgeable about the procedures I was getting, what recovery would be like, etc. Tricia even helped me find a caregiver to care for me after my procedure when I was having difficulty finding someone myself. I could not believe how much time and effort she spent on this - it went way beyond anything I was expecting, and the caretaker was great. The procedure and recovery for me were a breeze. The procedure was done under local anesthesia. In addition to being given medication to help you relax and manage pain before the procedure, you are offered laughing gas during the procedure to make you feel more comfortable. This worked wonderfully. I did not take any of the pain meds I was prescribed after the procedure as I did not feel I needed them. I had some mild soreness for a few days if I was moving around, and no pain at all while sitting / lying down. I suggest following the doctor's recommendation to get lymphatic massage following the vaser / J-Plasma. I had this done a few times within the first 3 weeks of my procedure, and I feel it greatly helped with swelling, bruising and overall healing. Following the procedure, Tricia made sure to check in on me several times to make sure I was feeling and recovering OK. Again, I was not expecting this level of involvement / care. Five months out, I cannot believe my results, which are still supposed to improve further. My saddle bags are gone, so that I can wear pants without long sweaters over them to hide my thighs, and shorts for the first time since I was a teenager. I have a thigh gap. The lumpiness and unevenness I had is gone, and the skin on my thighs is much tighter."
"Skinny/mini BBL - very natural but visible results - Dr.B and staff are amazing. Dr.B is fully transparent about realistic results. I got vaser lipo and Jplasma on my back, and the little fat I had, transferred to my but. Very natural but visible results.Updated on 26 Jan 2023:Somehow my review got published without me finishing. Here is the rest of my review.I'm around 4 months post op and now seeing more of the permanent results as the swelling has subsided. The fat in my hips didn't survive (which can be common), but majority of fat transferred to my but, did, which I'm happy about. As mentioned, I didn't have much fat to begin with, so I'm grateful to see a a subtle, but noticeable difference. I had some lose skin from weight loss which is why I opted for the jplasma. I can see a small difference so far, but I know it can take up to 6 months to see the full result. Another thing I was very nervous about is the hard lumps and bumps you see a lot of people complain about after lipo. I do not have any! I'm sure some of this has to do with me being consistent in getting my amazing lymphatic massages (Linda is amazing), but it really has a lot to do with the surgeons technique. Lastly, I want to emphasize the top notch, family oriented service you get as soon as you step foot into the practice. From the initial consult, to my post-op appointments, I am always treated with respect and feel like family. Vanessa is the one I met with during my consult, and she is truly the reason why I chose EliteMd to perform my procedure. She was so informative, knowledgeable, and made me feel so comfortable. She was always there when I had any questions, before and after my procedure. Once I met Dr.B, I knew I had made the right decision. He spends so much time with you before your procedure. I really appreciate how he sets realistic expectations from the start. One thing that really set the bar high is how much time he spends with you AFTER your procedure. He wants to make sure you are happy with your results, and he makes you feel comfortable in asking any questions, addressing concerns you may have, etc. You just feel safe with him!I am still seeing subtle changes and looking forward to seeing my results st the 6 month mark. Will post an update then. Thanks EliteMd!"
"I read about Dr. Bansal’s good reviews on RealSelf and, being from the Bay Area, was very familiar with their advertising on local television.I got my first BBL in 2021 and was not very happy with the results, so I decided to get a revision BBL surgery here at Elite, MD. I felt very supported throughout the process and let’s just say that everyone was very attentive to my needs, unlike the previous location where I had my first BBL. They are very holistic with their care and set you up for success. It seems like they really care about their patients! Vanessa, especially, really went above and beyond to make sure I got an appointment date that worked best for me!Another quick shoutout to Crystal who was very meticulous about asking what I wanted the day of the surgery and going through the different ways of sculpting they could’ve done!The surgery itself went pretty smoothly and the recovery process has been great! I absolutely love my results!"

"My first BBL - extremely happy with the results so far - I recently had my BBL surgery with Dr. Bansal and crystal Kherkher from elite md in Danville, Ca. I m extremely happy with the results so far. He was very upfront and made me felt comfortable with entire process from my initial consultation through my recovery. My Patient Care Coordinator Tricia Starke has been extremely professional and has taken care of all my needs. I also want to recommend Rema B. Juse my MA/Cool Sculpting Specialist who has been essential to my recovery and also has been very friendly and professional."
"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."
"Another positive experience! - I am a regular patient of Dr. Bansal’s. I am extremely satisfied with my latest procedure, Vaser Laser Liposuction that was done 6 weeks ago. My results are looking good… Dr. Bansal is not only the best at what he does, he is also an educator of living a healthy lifestyle and keeping the fat off. He is honest, trustworthy and easy to communicate with. The staff is always professional and accommodating especially Vanessa! Without her personal care & professionalism i would not have had procedure. She is the backbone to Elite MD and I appreciate everything she has done for me!Updated on 8 Nov 2021:Dr. Bansal is professional, easy to talk to and his honesty is appreciated. I am a return patient who has referred many other happy results. Dr.Bansal is nothing only a Plastic Surgeon, he is a consultant for healthy living! He makes sure your in the right track to keep your weight down and live a healthy happy life. The staff is always good to me especially Vanessa!!! She is AMAZING! She walked me thru every step, always returned my calls, texts and emails in a timely fashion. She is personable, yet professional and knowledgeable! I highly recommend going to Elite MD for all your advanced dermatology & plastic surgery needs!"
"Overall I am completely in love with my results - This experience has been completely life changing! Not only do I look better I care for my body differently now as well. Given that I am an ethnic woman I have always wanted the coke bottle shape which I finally have. I had no idea I could have a procedure like this without anesthesia and still have little to no discomfort or bruising or scarring. With the help of this staff reminding me to stay connected with my mind, body ,and soul at every check up appointment was very reassuring. Thanks to the no meat, no sweets, no wheat phrase I am glowing from the inside out! Not only do I feel my best my skin is clear and my energy levels are much higher. My BBL turned out to be everything I wanted with the most natural results, all my friends are so surprised because everyone thought I would have the fake instagram look, which I did NOT want. Both Dr.Bansal and the staff here helped to make this experience very easy and and comfortable theY were great with answering questions and everyone has a very sincere up-beat personality. My aftercare process went smoothly I had no complications. My caretaker was amazing always checking to make sure I was okay all day and even through the night multiple times. Thankfully for her I didn’t have much to worry about, just focused on healing. I loved my results so much from my BBL I came back to get a fat transfer to my breasts.I had almost 4 finger gap between my breast before and they had no toluene or cleavage. Now I have cleaveage with or without a bra and no implants to worry about! All natural fat. Second time around things were al little more familiar and an even better experience with the same staff and caregiver helping I was able to build great relationships and now still come in for facials (hydro facials are the best). Over all I am completely in love with myself and my results I would highly recommend Elite MD and their staff for the mini BBL, fat transfer to breasts and ab sculpting!"
"I’ve had lipo, fat transfer to breast and BBL all in office - I have had nothing but an amazing experience every time I walk into Elite Md. I’ve had lipo, fat transfer to breast and bbl all in office. Dr B is a loyal surgeon who not only leave you feeling great in your new body but will take time to coach you through life goals and health for maximum life long results. In addition to cosmetic surgeries I’ve done Vela shape, laser hair removal and Hydrofacials. All great experiences. The team at Elite is professional,extremely friendly and makes sure any procedure/service you have is comfortable and exceeds the standards. You are not only a patient here, you are family. Thank you Elite Md!"
"It has literally changed my life - Just a few months ago I couldn’t have imagined saying these words, but I had in-office Vaser liposuction and a mini BBL and it was the best decision I’ve made. Not only did Dr. Bansal educate me on what would help me achieve the results I was looking for, but he taught me how to get healthy, stay healthy, both physically and mentally, and it has literally changed my life. Everyone has treated me like family before and during my procedures, as well as the aftercare to keep my mind and body happy. Thank you Dr. Bansal and my friends at Elite MD."

"I recently had the hybrid mini face lift and some laser resurfacing performed by the dream team - Drs Waterman and Bansal. Before, during and after the procedure they took all the time needed for me to be comfortable with the process and happy with the results. The procedure was performed in their office under local anesthesia which made the post-surgery recovery a breeze. I experienced zero pain and honestly don’t remember much after taking some pain/relaxation medication just prior to the surgery. Elite’s entire team took very good care of me throughout the process. They made sure that I and my caregiver had all the instructions that we needed before I went home, and right on through the weeks following. This is not the first procedure I’ve had done at Elite, but it certainly was the most significant. And, based on my prior experiences I was confident and comfortable that I was in the best of hands. I’ll continue to use their services and recommend them as I have for years!"

"Got a mini bbl here complete with Vaser lipo to my back w/ fat transfer to buttocks. The process was very smooth & everyone was great. Rikki and Dr. B are professional & do a great job. I’m still healing so results are still pending but so far I love what I see. One thing they could work on is being better at calling back... there were a few times I called & no one was available to speak with me. When I did get a call back the lady I spoke to seemed like she didn’t care. Everyone else is amazing- Dr. B, (heart of a teacher) Rikki, Juliet & Francisco all were the very best to me."

"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"
"I first became a patient of Elite MD about 4 years ago when I had laser hair removal. I was impressed that my hair removal specialist was highly sought after and world-renowned in his field. Five years later, I had the courage to undergo a huge transformation - Vaser Liposuction. I spent months researching the procedure, weighing the pros/cons, and finding the right surgeon. I was led back to Elite MD because I knew they had high standards for their patient care. I met with Ray who went over all the surgery details and informed me about how to prepare for surgery by getting the correct supplements. Ray made sure I had all the information I needed to put my mind at ease. After I had a consultation with Dr. Millicent Geers, I knew I had made the right choice. She addressed all my questions, and gave me confidence in her skills to perform the Vaser procedure. I was incredibly nervous about having the surgery, but I knew I was in good hands and felt prepared for surgery thanks to the Elite MD team. They are very professional. And they are so patient with questions and VERY supportive with the post-surgery recovery process! I am a REAL patient currently being seen for post-surgery support and I HIGHLY recommend Elite MD! I am very pleased with my results - Dr. Geers is truly skilled and gave me the contoured hourglass shape that I wanted!Also, I can’t say enough about the education provided by my care team about the procedure and by Dr. Bansal about effective lifestyle and eating habits to achieve the best post-surgery outcome. Dr. Bansal generously shared his time and expertise explaining the post surgery care. So very thankful to the Elite MD team!!"

"I have had several procedures* performed over the past year at Elite MD with exceptional results.Their philosophy of using the most innovative, less or non-invasive and successful methods shows their desire to provide the best care for their patients. The doctors and staff genuinely care about each patient and treat me like family. My world has changed because my outlook on life and the future has changed. I have renewed confidence and am generally happy. I highly recommend Elite MD for any physical transformation or dermatological process. You won't regret it! *Hair restoration of my eyebrows and scalp. Lipo and tummy tuck, mini face-lift, and laser resurfacing on my face. The results are unbelievable; I feel and look 10 years younger."
"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."

"Wow, what a surprise! I will make this long follow up story as short as I can. Turns out that I had several deeply imbedded whiteheads that never surfaced and continually became inflamed. Rikki cut the worse one out and it was about 1/4" long, thin and hard. No other doctor or dermatologist looked close enough to give the proper diagnosis. For years I was told nothing could be done. I decided to have deep laser resurfacing done to clear those up and hopefully soften the wrinkles and lines around my mouth, nose and chin. Today was my one month follow up and I’m thrilled with the results. Everyone is amazed at much softer, brighter and healthier my skin is. The bumps at the corners of my mouth are gone. Oh, Rikki even found PRECANCEROUS cells near my nose, that were obviously removed too.For me, the recovery was trying at times and uncomfortable, but so worth it. You MUST stay out of the sun so wearing a big floppy hat and heavy duty sunblock whenever I had to venture out was necessary but fun. I started watering my plants, going out to the mailbox, etc. at night. Later, if I had to go out, I would wait until dusk and wear my hat, even inside stores. You’re not exactly looking your best the first 4 or 5 weeks. If done in October, you can always say you’re wearing a Halloween mask .I can’t say enough about Rikki. She cares very much for her patients well being and happiness. She’s thorough, explains everything and listens to your needs or concerns. I am so happy with the results. It turned out better than I expected. I obviously can’t say enough and highly recommend Rikki and EliteMD for any facial concerns you may have."

"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."
"Rikki Rodriguez is the best! I highly recommend her and Elite MD! I had a deep laser facial treatment and I couldn’t be happier! Rikki was able to obtain results others could not! Rikki did the treatment in such a way that I experienced minimal pain and less downtime. I am hooked and will be back! Thanks Rikki!"

"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."

"They have been super professional and knowledgeable. My doctor was Dr. Bansal and he was awesome! He made me feel at ease with his knowledge and was very nice. My results with laser Lipo were amazing and better then I was expecting. I am only 5 weeks post-op and already my results are wonderful. I can’t wait till all swelling is gone and I see my final results which will be even better. I highly recommend Elite MD and Dr. Bansal for laser Lipo."
"I went to Elite MD to get laser hair removal treatment for my full face and neck. I wanted to improve my self confidence and skin because it is something I have struggled with my whole life due to the excess amount of facial hair I had since I was a little girl. I chose Elite MD because Jeff is honestly so amazing and was very honest with me [I was a high risk candidate] and he took the risk with me and took the time to fully educate me on the procedure and the outcomes of it. I felt very comfortable at Elite MD and everyone is so friendly. They always make me feel welcomed and are very accommodating to my schedule. I am so happy with my results and have 2 appointments left and I would recommend Elite MD to my friends and family for any procedure they may need done."
"I would like to share my experience being a patient of Elite MD.From the moment I showed up for the consultation I felt cared for. Vanessa immediately welcomed me and took time with me to make sure all my questions got answered. We explored different options and was able to select a procedure ( laser liposuction) that would met my needs.Ivy was AMAZING!! I thought the service could not get any better. She assisted with my pre-op and was extremely thorough. She was able to break down the medical jargon to help me to better understand the steps from beginning to end.She basically held my hand the entire time and for that I am truly grateful! Dr. Geers performed my surgery and she was EVERYTHING!!!! I could not of asked for a more detailed, professional-skilled physician. She explained everything to me so that there were no surprises. There was just one surprise, I didn’t know I would look this magnificent! I feel beautiful.Thank you from the bottom of my heart Elite MD! You have gained another medical family member!"

"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."
"So far my experience has been amazing! I found EliteMD through Instagram & always watch their live videos. I came across the "cool sculpting" video & instantly wanted to schedule a consult, as I would consider I'm a pretty active person just my abdominal area does not seem to go away no matter what I do. So I wanted to go this route. Consult:During my consult I met with Juliet, who is an absolute doll. She took a look at me & gave me my options. Flashback to being in the waiting room i was looking at the laser Lipo video they had going & actually considered wanting to do that instead, ok back to talking with Juliet (mind you I went in for a cool sculpting consult) she had mentioned that if I wanted instant results the laser Lipo would be the way to go. She was very knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions I had. So sure enough by the time I was finished with my consult I had made my decision I wasn't going to hesitate I scheduled my pre op & procedure for the laser Lipo. Day of pre-op: This was the day for paperwork, before picture taking & meeting with the Doctor. I first met with Ray who was nothing but awesome & made me feel comfortable & at ease. He explained everything I needed to do to get ready for my procedure. After the paperwork was done we went to take my before pictures which I was cringing to do but after meeting Ray I no longer felt that way. & lastly I met Dr. Bansal! He was very professional, intelligent & made me feel like he cared not only about doing my procedure but my well being as well. Let me just say my appointment started at 5:30 and I left at 8:00 that should tell you a little something about EliteMD. They take there time with you. They make sure you're well aware of any precautions, how to take care of yourself before & after procedure. All in all I have full complete confidence in Dr. Bansal & staff to take good care of me.***Procedure is tomorrow July 5th & I could not be more excited!! Will post updates ***For the most part I would definitely recommend my friends & family to EliteMD - I have never met a rude worker there. They always have a smile on their face & want to accommodate the best way possible. Clean environment & very professional.***UPDATE***7/5/18 DAY OF PROCEDURE:All I can say is i am absolutely 100% satisfied with the decision of choosing to get Vaser Liposuction by Dr. Bansal at EliteMD. The procedure was way better then I expected! I felt no pain at all they numb you up and make you feel as comfortable as possible. They even let you chose what kind of music you want to listen to since you're awake & all :) i know it's cliche, but I have my confidence back. It's been 10 years since I've seen my abdominal area this flat. I have worked my butt off to get in better shape but just could not seem to lose that stubborn belly fat. The staff & Dr. Bansal really took their time on me & was able to take out more fat then expected. I cannot wait to see my final results once I am completely healed. If I'm loving how it looks now I could imagine how I'll be feeling a few weeks from now. & remember the aftercare is always important so if you want great results you got to put in work to & properly follow the after care instructions. :)"

"Talented Doctor and a amazing staff - Best Doctor around!!! Had laser lipo done on my upper and lower abs on June 3,2018. Dr. Bansal and staff were amazing!!!! I was so nervous going into the procedure, but Dr Bansal made me feel comfortable and the lipo was a breeze. No pain!!!!!! I'm 4 days out and I don't feel no pain. My stomach is sore as expect. Im so happy with my results. Thank you Elite MD"
"I’ve been going to Linda at Elite MD for almost 3 years for facials and peels and have had positive results with professionalism. She takes her time with her clients and is very detailed oriented. I have also seen Jeff for removal of dark spots on my face and have had great results with the laser treatments. The staff is very friendly and are accommodating."

"I had my first laser lipo surgery July 22, 2017 and my second August 30, 2017. Every time I go into this office everyone is so friendly and they make me feel like I've know them for years. Dr. G did my surgery and did a great job I am very pleased with the outcome (I still have some ways to go but with the proper exercise and eating habits it will happen). When I met Dr. Bansal for the first time (yesterday) he also made me feel very comfortable (which is comforting since I was standing in front of him in underwear only). I would recommend Elite MD to my friends and family."

"Been working w/ EliteMD for a year now. They are kind, professional & LISTEN to the client. I had belly laser lipo & have been working w/ Jeff & Linda on my skin to remove freckles & age spots, as well as keep my skin in a healthy state. I cannot understand any of the bad reviews of EliteMD! Yes, they are a busy business & ALL businesses serve to make money but I have never felt pressured or treated anyway that was unprofessional. In fact, quite the opposite-- they are welcoming & responsive to all my concerns. Fair & reasonable prices for the professional skill & attention to detail all the Dr & nurses have. I did mountains of research & had other consults before choosing EliteMD. I have never been happier w/ my skin & body. No one can create miracles but they do come close!"

"I got the laser liposuction in March 2016... today marks 3 months. Even though I was told this as a "body sculpting" procedure and not for weight loss, I have lost 38lbs so far in the last 3 months!! I have been told I look like I have gotten a tummy tuck but I didn't!! Elite MD and Dr. Bansal have helped me become a better person all around. This has been a life changing experience for me. They have taught me how to eat properly, what exercises are best for stress weight loss and recommended a few authors for self help books. All of the books have helped me deal with stress better than I was before and has helped me stay strong during hard times mentally. I have never felt better physically as well. All thanks to Dr. Bansal and Elite MD. Elite MD helps you become a better you! Its more than just surgery.... I feel like they saved my life, as I was headed down a very unhealthy road and was very unhappy. I now have family and friends who are changing what they eat and making the lifestyle changes necessary to live a happy, healthy life. I feel better than I have for at least the past 10 years, if not more and I owe it to Elite MD"
"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"
"After considerable research, I decided I wanted Dr Bansal to perform my Laser Lipo surgery; he and Elite MD have an excellent reputation and have not let me down! My first appointment was a (free) consultation, Dr Bansal answered all my concerns and questions almost before I voiced them, he is very thorough and takes time to educate you about the particular treatment you're about to have. My procedure was to be Laser Lipo of upper and lower abdomen, with flanks and sub-axila (the fat that can be annoying just under the arms). Dr Bansal makes it clear that for all the work he does, you must also do your share. I found this inspiring and was eager to do whatever it would take to get the best result possible. I am now 6 months post op and have lost 15 lbs and gone from size 12-14 trousers to size 8 in skinny jeans : ). I look and feel better, I have more energy and can wear clothes that are more flattering than the baggy things I used to wear to cover up. Following Dr Bansal's advice I continue to eat well and sensibly so I don't overload my system with toxins, I do not feel I go without anything at all. I've learned to listen to my body, recognizing when I feel full after eating and stepping up my exercise once I was able. There is a period of time when you really have time during recovery when it's advisable to take things easy and not get your heart rate up; this just makes the body swell after surgery and you take longer to recover. My thanks extends to the whole Elite MD Team! Candy, Sheri and Vanessa have always offered advice and support....I have recommended Dr Bansal to one of my best friends and will continue to look to him and Elite MD for future treatments!"
"Hello all...I recently had the lipo laser procedure done on the upper and lower flanks of back and chest area also, around the nipple area by the Dr Bansal from Elite Md. I was astounded by the end results and have to say this man is TRUE artist when it comes to sculpting one's body. Im a man who recently turned 50 years of age, worked out 4-5 days a week and could not achieve the results I wanted. Dr Bansal shaped and sculpted my body to look like a man of 30 years old which I honestly thought was not possible but he made me a true believer in looking in the mirror again. The staff and nurses made me feel so comfortable that i felt like I was part of the Family. They were courteous, professional and empathetic towards reaching my goals. So, I will post pictures at a later date and or they will be posted at Elite Md photo album which I will gladly share with anyone interested in viewing those photos. Thank you ! Dr Bansal, and the Elite Md nurses and staff who helped get through this procedure.I could not of done it without there HELP!John U"

I will continue to go to Jeff for all of my needs. He is the BEST!I also wanted to include a review for the lovely, Mercedes. Mercedes is Jeff's medical assistant and a complete doll.

"Elite MD is "As Good As it GETS!! I am a personal witness and very pleased with my results. I was looking through a magazine one day and saw an article about Elite MD. I found this article very intriguing so I did some additional research on Elite MD. The results were very favorable, experts in their fields, excellent reputation, state of the art equipment and USING leading technology. After a few days, I decided I would call and make an appointment. To my surprise, the friendly staff was able to schedule my appointment the same day. My first appointment was a "free" consultation for "Cool Sculpting". Dr. Taylor answered all of my questions, he was very thorough and honest about the potential results. He could tell by the look on my face that I wanted better results so he took me to the Elite MD Laser Lipo experts next door. Once again, I was greeted by very friendly professional staff members. All my questions were answered and Vanessa spent time educating me about the procedure. I left there with two (2) quotes and unsure about what I wanted to do. Two weeks later, I attended an Elite MD Open House where I had a chance to talk with Dr. Bansal one or one. Dr. Bansal addressed all of my concerns and spent additional time educating me in depth about the expected results, the procedure, down time and how to get the results I wanted. I couldn't believe that a Dr. would spend that much time educating a non patient. I walked away feeling very confident that if I decided to have Laser Lipo Surgey, Elite MD was the place for me. Eight (8) weeks later, I get a phone call from Joan, at Elite MD, telling me about new pricing being available and that I should come in for a new quote. I was initially reluctant, but Joan was very encouraging, so I agreed to do so. THAT WAS THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!! THANK YOU JOAN!! I am very pleased with the procedure results, mentally and physically. I feel like a new person. The excellent staff walked we through the Pre-Op/Post-Op process step by step and the procedure it self was a breeze. I had little to no pain during the in office procedure ( I don't remember any pain). The next thing I knew, I was getting dressed to go home. My downtime was approximately 1 1/2 days and I was back to work. The patient care, phone calls and my follow-up appointments have been fantastic!! What a Great Team of Professionals!!Thank you Elite MD!! DR. BANSAL, DR. G, VANESSA AND SHERRI. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!"

"elite md. Danvile, CA - I got the laser liposuction in March 2016... today marks 3 months. Even though I was told this as a "body sculpting" procedure and not for weight loss, I have lost 38lbs so far in the last 3 months!! I have been told I look like I have gotten a tummy tuck but I didn't!! Elite MD and DR. Bansel have helped me become a better person all around. This has been a life changing experience for me. They have taught me how to eat properly, what exercises are best for stress weight loss and recommended a few authors for self help books. i have read a book by Tony Robbins, a meditation book by Russel Simmons and have started "Super Brain" but Deepak - all of these books have helped me deal with stress better than I was before and has helped me stay strong during hard times mentally. I have never felt better physically as well. All thanks to Dr. Bansel and Elite MD. I get stopped in the streets and told how great my complexion is and I didn't get any work done on my face! Elite MD helps you become a better you! Its more than just surgery.... I feel like they saved my life, as I was headed down a very unhealthy road and was very unhappy. If I had to go back in time, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I now have family and friends who are changing what they eat and making the lifestyle changes necessary to live a happy, healthy life. I feel better than I have for at least the past 10 years, if not more and I owe it to Elite MD"

"Had a great experience! From my consultation to my laser treatment with Jeff and his MA! They r both great! Waiting to see the results (just had a laser treatment yesterday for stretch mark removal) Everyone in the office makes you feel very comfortable! Recommend them to my girlfriends!"

"27 Year Old Mom 5'7 267 Pounds Laser Lipo - Danville, CA - Dr Bansal with Elite MD in Danville CA is a God send! I have struggled with my body image for the last 5 years as I gained 80 pounds due to high emotional stress. During my consultation Dr Bansal was efficient, personable, highly energetic, and knowledgable. He recommended laser lipo on my abdomen and flanks. I was thrilled he was confident he could help me and peace of mind that it was not as invasive as tummy tuck since my BMI was 40. I am extremely happy with my results I have lost 20 pounds in the last three weeks it has totally reshaped my body making clothes fit better and gave me the confidence I've been lacking."
"Elite MD Dr. Bansal I have never done any procedure (just chemical peels) and I felt so informed and taken care of at Elite MD. I ended up, after many questions and multiple conversations with the different staff members, getting Laser Lipo on my flanks (love handles) and lower abs. I also decided to do cool sculpting on my inner thighs. I'm super pleased with the Laser Lipo and have recommended it to my closest of friends. I found Dr. Bansal to demonstrate a tremendous amount of care and concern for his patients and to ensure you get the best results possible. He's so genuinely caring, that because of his consultation a few days after my procedure, ad his confession that the took out more fat (and "stress induced fat") then he thought was possible from someone of my fame, I got motivated to jump start a health kick. I've given up red meat, started practicing meditation and trying to reduce stress and toxins in my life. (I haven't given up the wine yet). THis procedure is so rewarding. My body image is fantastic, I stand up taller and am wearing clothes that haven't fit since my 2 daughters! (4.5 and 1.5 years old). Dr. Bansal and Elite MD are top notch. I have recommended them to my best friends."
"I have nothing but great things to say about Elite MD, their staff and most of all Dr Bansal! I first attended an Elite Freeze Event, wanting more information on Cool Sculpting. After speaking with staff members, I wanted more information on Laser Liposuction. I was impressed with the knowledge of all staff and was able to meet with Dr Bansal that very day. I decided to schedule the procedure and proceed. Upon my pre-op appointment, Dr Bansal and I decided for optimal results, general anesthesia vs local anesthetic would give me the results I was looking for. Upon day of surgery I was nervous, but well prepared by staff and Dr Bansal. It was painful upon waking, the staff at the surgery center were phenomenal! There was the option in staying overnight, I chose to go home. It was very painful for the next week, several methods for pain control were provided. I am now on day 9 post op, feeling MUCH better and my results are nothing shorter than amazing! Many compliments for family/friends close to me during the process. I'm a nurse in Emergency Medicine and have seen some awful things, patients whom were not prepared, misinformed and chose to go a "less expensive" route. Physicians I work with refer patients to Dr Bansal in these circumstances. I was provided with several choices each having an expected outcome. Dr Bansal sat down spent much time with me regarding the process; his responsibilities as well as mine for the best outcome. In less than 2 weeks, I'm making tremendous life changes to live a longer and happier life.... I give special thanks to Dr Bansal and his staff. There's an honest care for improving peoples' lives and it is apparent within this establishment. Thank you all at Elite MD for giving me a new beginning to the healthy/happy rest of my life!"
"I must say that Dr. Bansal is great. I was a candidate for a tummy tuck but decided against it because I didn't want the scarring and went with laser liposuction in the upper and lower abdomen, bra line, flanks, sub axilla, waist line, a bit towards my back since I was under anesthesia and they can't move me over and more recently my arms. I'm very excited with my results. I'm doing my part on eating better and cut back on the toxic foods I was eating and feel and look better now. I'm glad I came to him and his staff for my procedures. I highly recommend a few vaser shape treatments after the procedure to tighten everything up and to get rid of any fat deposits. I did more than the recommended amount and feel that made a bigger change with my results."

"Okay I had researched many Cosmetic Surgery facilities prior to finally selecting Elite MD. I have an extremely medical family Nurses, Doctors, Dentists and Physical Therapists. I know what quality medical care is and what isn’t.I must explain that I am a 64 year old fit male with prior belly fat and localized fatty tissue in various locations on my shoulder area toward the rear and hip area. I have had personal trainers, nutritional consultants, and Naturopaths advise me on what to eat and how to exercise to irradiate this fatty tissue. Since 2009 I have spent no less that $15,000 on trainers, hormone therapy, and diet programs including Medifast.The fat that one has in middle age is that which will hang in there as a reserve come Hell or High Water. Blood glucose, then muscle glucose, then finally fatty tissue stores are your body’s source for fuel. I eat no sweets, bread, pasta, or fatty meats and yet the fat continued to cause me multiple problems. I am 6’2" and weighed 262 prior to laser liposuction. The belly fat had invaded my internal area under my muscle and was pressing on my diaphragm making me huff and puff to breathe. In addition I could not even ride my bicycle as the belly fat made it difficult to bend over to hold the handle bars.Having seen this problem, Dr. Bensal advised me that laser liposuction was the best modern approach to this problem. He was extremely professional and made it clear that the best way to tackle this was to remove as much visceral fat (all of the harmful fat) at my abdominal region and the flanks and rear shoulder area.I am extremely delighted with the results. YES it’s a sore and uncomfortable recovery, but I feel that the fat removed was well worth it. Fat takes on its own life and develops its own blood system. This system unfortunately serves to transfer the fat from that fatty belly tissue throughout your entire body. Hence why Americans die of Stroke, Heart Attacks, and Cancer at an alarming rate.As far as the fees go. This is a professional medical concern with Dr. Bensal being a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who hails from University of Pennsylvania. As my father once said:YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FORI would not hesitate to recommend Elite MD to any of my family member or friends.Any of the negative reviews you may encounter on Yelp take with "a grain of salt". I am just an average guy who was seeking help with a weight and fact issue. I am not in any way compensated for this review. And I can be 100% certain that the procedure I had likely added 10-15 years onto my life. That being said everyone has a viewpoint, but be sure that those you see here on Yelp are not from people who 1- never even got as far as getting work done and 2- Are so dissatisfied with their lives and how they look that they are transferring that negativity to their opinion of Elite MD.Richard Gray"

"So, now I've been going to this dermatologist for 9 months and it's time to update my YELP review...RESULTS......FANTASTIC! I've learned more about taking of my skin than I ever imagined. The products are FIRST CLASS (without a first class price tag) and they have done wonders for my skin! How do I know? Not only does my skin look and feel better, but my friends and family are noticing and it's all positive feedback! Better yet, they don't know I've been seeing a dermatologist! No botox, no surgery (although this practice offers many options as appropriate for the patient) ...I've had a few IPL treatments from Jeff at the Rose Street office (he's wonderful, by the way) and I've had some sun spots removed and my skin never looked better! Compliments to Annie and Priscilla for taking such good care of the patients; friendly and professional. On my last two visits, I've worked with Dr. Longwell... I love her knowledge, professionalism, "no-nonsense approach" and great sense of humor. Wait times are minimal or non-existent and I love how the office texts me a couple of days prior to my appointment as a reminder. The free samples are a real treat! I always have moisturizer for my purse and new products to take home. I highly recommend this dermatology group!"
"So, now I’ve been going to this dermatologist for 9 months and it’s time to update my YELP review...RESULTS......FANTASTIC! I’ve learned more about taking of my skin than I ever imagined.

"Jeff, RN was very nice & explained everything on my first visit. I had 3 laser hair removal treatment. I had 3-4 prior to that on the same area. It’s been a few months and I’m happy with the results. Thanks Jeff! :)"

"I had a laser treatment done at Elite MD. I gave 5 stars because Jeff Wheaton did an amazing job on my legs! Very thorough. Saving up to get another treatment. I would give 6 stars if I could!"
"The past couple days I have noticed how fantastic my results are from my recent visit at EliteMD. I wanted to share this with other people who are looking for a practice to go to. I saw Jeff Wheaton-RN for some vascular laser treatments for my face, and he was FANTASTIC! He educated me about the ins and outs of my skin, the laser, and what to do at home to continue to improve the tone and texture of my skin. I felt so confident being in Jeff's hands, and I recommend him and EliteMD's other amazing providers for anything that you could possibly be interested in treating."
"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!"
"I'm Taking Pictures Again!!! -Danville, CA - For the last couple of years I have not taking any pictures for fear of my double-triple chin taking over the shot. I got laser lipo about three weeks ago and already love the results, and my profile makes me cry, I have one now. I still feel a little sore and don't have full motion with stretching my neck but I was told all this before so its not a surprise to me. I just can't believe that a couple of hours at Elite MD could change my life! I would add a photo but I don't have any on this computer."
"Face and Neck Laser Treatment - Danville, CA - The procedure was great and painless. My personal care and comfort were the priority of the Elite MD team. Dr. Bansal and Jeff did a wonderful job in the application of the treatment and asking if I was comfortable throughout the procedure. The treatment and aftercare were expertly explained by Candy. I had the treatment completed on a Wednesday and started a new job the following Monday looking great! Thank you to the Elite MD team"
"I do not understand seeing ANY poor reviews for Elite MD!I have been getting a variety of laser treatments here for probably 2 1/2 - 3 years now and have nothing but great things to say. Not only are they very reasonably priced, but the staff is great, they do an awesome job, and are very accommodating. I went to another place before this for laser treatments and the results were crap and I always felt like they were in a rush to get me out of there; not here though. Jeff is absolutely AMAZING and I strongly recommend seeing him!!! He has always been polite, courteous, friendly, and very professional. This is not the type of "all business" place to go. They seem to genuinely care about their patients; which is something you don’t always see. Any question that I have, he is happy to answer and explain, or give me suggestions if I’m looking for help. The results are great! I would NEVER go anywhere else and I encourage anyone looking for any sort of skin treatment to come here and see Jeff!"

"I had a problem 3 months after my eye lid surgery. The left eye did not heal as good and left a little scar that bothers me.On meeting with the doctor, he said muscles differ. He had to add more numb meds during on left, I sleep on that side too. The other eye healed up so nice that you can barely see it. The left...not as good plus I had trouble wearing contacts for awhile dry eye. The doctor offered to do the surgery again and take a little more skin minimizing the scar or do a laser on it to soften it up free. I also did CO2 laser treatment, it looked best 3 months after, my under eyes and crow feet look great still. The skin was great first but back 4 mths later went back to normal. Just my cross to bare.I definatly had a ton of sun damage in before pictures that is gone. I am using retina a and sunscreen always and others think I look so much better. The doctor was nice enough to offer to put me in a clinical program for $750 to and get the face done again and touch up the eye lid scar. Very cutting edge lipo lasers etc available and they do run a lot of specials on them. Last I added $1500 fillers to the smile lines and cheek bones which were supposed to last 8 mths plus. They were gone sooner. I believe thats pretty std. Fillers are a waste in my opinion.. At least I look refreshed till I can afford something more major .Fillers may last longer for others. They go the extra mile to make sure patients are happy and satisfied and the doctor did tell me prior that every body is different. One photo of Patty showed a ton more sagging then me, she responded so well to the CO2 laser with firmness. I hoped for the same but like he said, does not work the same for everyone. I have saggy skin I guess. The staff is nice and they really check you out with getting doctor records and blood work. They give you a ton of paper work to read on the proceedure and the doctor and the nurse spent alot of time prior explaining pros and cons. They spend alot of time after as well w/follow up appts. They invest alot of time in their patients to be sure they get results in keeping your skin and body youthful longer."

"This review is ONLY for Jeff since I have never had any other procedures there besides laser hair removal.I was brought to this place by groupon. I got six sessions at a really good price for full legs. When I first called, the front desk was really accommodating. I didn’t have my first appointment for about three months because of mine and their busy schedules, which was to be expected since the groupon was just released. When I first came in I filled out the appropriate paperwork and the front desk was very nice to me. Also, the place looked CLEAN which made me very happy :)So then Jeff brought me into the room and we started. If you do not like pain, DO NOT get laser hair removal. It is the worst pain I have ever experienced, and I had to bring my boyfriend to the second session to hold my hand. Besides the pain, Jeff was very professional. I didn’t feel uncomfortable with him and he was very informative about the process.Now, to the results. It took several weeks after the first procedure to really notice any. After those few weeks, I noticed HUGE results and was surprised about the progress after only the first session. I have very pale skin, and my hair is jet black. Before the first session, I had 2-3 thick hairs growing out of each follicle. Now I have only one, and some areas without hair. I just had my second session about a week ago, but there is already less hair. Another thing is, the biggest difference is only on my lower legs. On my upper, the hair is light brown and thin. I haven’t noticed any difference there. My suggestion is, if you do not have light skin and dark, thick hair, it’s not worth it.Anyways, even though I have seen several groupons for laser hair removal at other places, I haven’t bought them. I am going to buy more treatments, even at the full price, here because I know it works and I am so comfortable with Jeff. Plus, I know they have quality lasers. I wouldn’t risk going anywhere else."

"I have seen Dr. Sonja Bansal as well as Dr Vivick Bansal. The service has always been excellent. They have an exceptional competent and well trained team including nurses as Nurse Practiciioners. To have acces of such a wide variety of skilled services in one practice is a true benefit. Dr Bansal invests in state of the art equipment and as a tarining site is often one of the first in the area to employ the latest most effective technology. The team is very sensitiveto mprofessionals who have little time for long down time. Yet they always ensure a complete and realistic plan for recovery. My laser proceedure results far exceeded my expectations. The pre and post care was excellent. If you read the reveiws below they do not often mention the medical care or the result of the proceedure. Any office can have an ocassional administrative malfunction. People tend to focus on those experiences. I have been in the office over 20 times for various treatments and have never been treated any way but professional. There has never been a long wait for service and both doctors have always spent quaity time, discussing and explaining expected realistic outcomes. This is an international training location due to Dr. Bansal’s experience, reputation and competence. That designation speaks much more to me than a disgruntled patient. I encourage anyone to take advantage of Elite MD’s complementary consultation and jusdge for yourself. Once you meet the physicians in the office they speak for themselves.No practice is perfect, but the previus reviews were so inconsistent with my experience, I had to write my first Yelp!So YELP.... If you want the best, Elite MD is top notch in all respects.Philip B. Scott Ph.DPS When a physicain requests a biopsy, it is never "unnecessary" (as stated below) it is called practicing good medicine."

"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."

"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."

"04/05/2011 I interviewed a number plastic surgeons in other parts of the Bay Area and San Francisco and am very glad I chose Dr. Bansal and his excellent, personable staff at Elite MD for my procedures which took place in late December of 2010. I had a mini-lift to improve my neck and chin. A laser was used on eyelids, around the eye and mouth area to minimize wrinkles, remove a cheek scar and some unsightly age spots on my face.Results: I couldn't be happier. My neck and chin result are incredible and Dr. Bansal's pride and joy. Wrinkles are gone and/or diminished around eye and mouth areas. Scar on cheek and age spots are gone. Skin texture is much improved.Other benefits: On an initial visit, I was able to speak with and question another patient who had the same procedures I was contemplating. She looked fantastic and looked about 20 years younger than her actual age. As a woman in my 60's, a local anesthetic was used rather than a general which made me less anxious about the surgery which went well and was relatively comfortable. Choosing a local practice turned out to be a wise decision since it was more convenient for the post-op and follow-up appointments to be close to home. Since the surgery, I have recommended Elite MD to others who thought I looked great and had good results."
