Reviews for IPL Services in Danville, CA
"Dr. Bansal and his entire staff are incredible. I am a male, 75 yr.old, six month post laser liposuction on my stomach, chest and flanks. I am more than satisfied. Dr. Bansel and his administrative assistant, Trisha, made sure I understood the issues and risks of the surgery. He went so far as to contact and speak with my cardiologist. You also get counseled on diet, exercise, etc. Six months down the road he and his staff are still following me. My results are (in my eyes) incredible. If you are considering laser liposuction, I would whole heartedly recommend you get a consult with Dr. Bansel or one of his other physicians."
"Over the past 3 years I have had a wonderful experience at Elite MD. I first went when I began to experience hyperpigmentation.Linda Aragon carefully evaluated my skin, put me on a skin care regiment and now I receive nothing but compliments on my skin. She is highly knowledgeable, professional and engaging! Most recently I met with Dr Bansal to discuss my concerns about my neck and chin sagging and wrinkles. He was kind, approachable, and most importantly he took the time to discuss in detail the options and the pros and cons for each. I decided to move forward with laser treatments and I am very happy with the choice. The"icing on the cake" now are their new offices. The space is beautifully designed and adds a new touch of luxury to the excellent services they provide. I highly recommend them"
"At 54 years old, I am excited to share how my experience with Elite MD has had a profound impact on my life. They offer a holistic, 360-degree lifestyle approach that covers physical, mental, and emotional well-being. After enduring two previous surgeries with AirSculpt that left me with PTSD and a completely different look, I was terrified to undergo another procedure. The previous surgeries had caused excruciating pain due to ineffective local anesthesia, making me pass out in both instances. I had always maintained a nice physique, but menopause had left me with some stubborn fat that I couldn't shed.After extensive research, Elite MD stood out. From my first consultation with Trish, I felt genuinely welcomed. We discussed all treatment options and set realistic expectations. Dr. Bansal and the Elite MD staff addressed every concern attentively and thoroughly. I decided on corrective surgery, including sacrum, lower back, flanks, and a slim BBL.Dr. Bansal's approach is something I've never seen in an MD. It's comprehensive and holistic, addressing every aspect of your well-being. His uncommon knowledge of both Western and holistic medicine gives him an edge and superior insight compared to his peers. With Dr. Bansal, the experience was completely different. The anesthesia process was gentle and soothing. Going to sleep and waking up was seamless, which really helped ease my fears. Surgery nurses Tina and Derralyn provided exceptional care, making sure I felt safe and well-cared for throughout the procedure.Elite MD provided thorough health, diet, and pre- and post-operative care. Dr. Bansal's advice on nutrition and lifestyle was incredibly helpful, allowing me to improve my health even before the surgery. Their exceptional care, including on-site lymphatic drainage massages by Rema, sets them apart. Dr. Bansal specializes in corrective surgery, ensuring a very natural look, and treats patients like family. He sets realistic expectations but goes above and beyond to exceed them. Dr. Bansal is not only an excellent surgeon but also a kind and caring family man, which adds to the trust and comfort he provides. Elite MD ensures transparency about costs and diligent follow-up appointments.Thanks to Elite MD, I finally got my body back with a natural appearance. I feel more confident and happier than ever. I feel truly blessed to have found Dr. Bansal. They have transformed my life, and I am incredibly grateful for their support and care."
"I've been going to Elite MD in Danville for quite some time now. I have had full facial laser hair removal services along with facials with the esthetician on board. I love how sweet and attentive the office staff has always been. I enjoyed my laser hair removal sessions and recommend Dr. Sonia and her team to everyone! My face is clear now and I only have to come in for annual touch ups to maintain the treatments. I loved that during the painful process of the laser, I can control the cooling air that blows on my skin to cancel out any sensation. The process has always been so fast, I'm out of my laser appointments within 30 min! They always offer me a sample of skincare and SPF 50 sunscreen to apply once I'm done with my treatment as well. And yes the results have lasted for years! Highly recommend Elite MD for all the amazing services they have to offer from the skin care line to hair grafting and everything in between."
"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!! I wanted more-the loose skin and the way parts of my body still looked , left me feeling uncomfortable in my own skin (literally) I looked into Slits ms spa and decided to invest in myself- I felt so supported heard and lovedthe healing combination of the procedure and the "whole person" approach are ingredients for life, healthy life and longevity !!DR D and DR Bansal has given me a fresh start-Dr D and Dr B along with Vanessa and entire team, again have restored the hope I lost- my light had dimmed - I feel renewed, my zest for life and positive energy have resurfaced. and have realigned my mind BODY and spirit I can't say enough about the beautiful gift elite Md spa and this crew - absolutely life changing in every way THANK YOU BELOW are my current before and after photos 5weeks post op- I had laser Lipo and jplasma renuvion-Lyhpatic massages and a lifetime of health light love and support"

"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!"

"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!"

"Just love all the wonderful staff at Elite MD. I had the C02 Laser Facial Resurfacing last week. Couldn’t have been easier. My face was red & scaly for a few days but now...WOW! Friends have even commented on how my face looks more glowing & less wrinkles. I’m so happy to have had this procedure!!!"

"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."

"I've been to Elite MD for a couple of procedures and I love the welcoming staff. Staff is very comforting and was able to ease my nerves. All procedures are done at one location for ex. Laser, lipo, and Botox making it a one stop shop. If you need anything done, highly recommend visiting this place!!"

"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!!"

"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 went into Elite for information about the aged skin around my neck area. I met with Trish and she spent two hours with my going over products, services, information and options. I made an appointment to get a mini face lift and laser resurfacing of some acne scars on my lower face. She stayed in contact with me before the procedure, during, and after. Speaking with me almost daily. Everyone in the office was friendly and kind. The doctor checked on me, I received great products with my procedure and I feel like I have gained a friend in Trish who really cares about my well being and my results."
"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."

"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!"

"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. :)"

"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."

"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 swear I could keep going.Before I choose Dr.Bansal I had seen 5 other doctors , believe it or not I tried going to another DR which turned out to be a scam. I called Dr.Bansal office they were so happy to help me move forward with getting the body I always dreamed of. On 4/24 I was back on the flat side when I say he created a whole new masterpiece. He really enjoy making ones body look amazing. The best thing about Dr. Bansal is he going to tell you exactly were the fat come from you will be amazed at how he can tell you about your lifestyle without asking you.

"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"

"This review is for Jeff and Mercedes. I have been seeing Jeff for over a year now for fillers, laser and Botox. All have gone beautifully. Jeff is extremely professional and an absolute artist. He is conservative and always has my best interests at heart. I do a LOT of research before picking anyone to work on me and I have to say, that you will not be let down when choosing Jeff. 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. She completes my experience at Elite MD. She is professional, on top of everything and lastly, a wealth of knowledge. I look forward to seeing her every time I go into see Jeff. You can't go wrong with these two."

"I went to Dr. Bansal and the Elite MD Spa team confused, frustrated and deflated. I have been going to the gym for years, watching my diet and overall trying to be healthy and active. But for some reason I wasn't feeling and seeing the results I strived for. So I bit the bullet and made a consultation appointment to discuss Laser Lipo. Within the first few minutes of meeting Dr. Bansal I knew I was in the right place. His demeanor was calm and the energy in the room was inviting. Initially I thought our discussion was going to be solely about the procedure but to my pleasant surprise we discussed overall health-physical and mental. Both directly affect each other. After an hour of his kind guidance and expertise I decided to move forward with Laser Lipo on my upper and lower abdomen. I am 6 weeks post op and I couldn't be happier! Not only is my physical self looking great (fabulous flat abs) but my mental self is feeling great too! Dr. Bansal's advice on self awareness (lowering stress and increasing happiness), in conjunction with the Laser Lipo procedure, has brought me overall satisfaction. I am grateful!! I look forward to seeing Dr. Bansal and his friendly staff for my next follow up and I will be certainly referring them to anyine looking for the same experience."
"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!!!"

"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. BansalSonia"

"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!"

"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."

"Elite MD Dr. BansalI 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."

"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.

"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.

"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!"

"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!"
"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."
