"Had the upper eyelid surgery done by Dr. House and couldn’t be more happy with the results! The procedure was quick and recovery was a breeze. The entire Elite MD was super caring in their pre- and post ops follow ups. Thanks for the great experience!"
"I’m 3 months out from having upper blepharoplasty and I couldn’t be more happier. Being ethnic. I was impressed to note there were no visible scars after 2 months. The results are amazing. Highly recommend Elite MD"

"* 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."
"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."
"I had blepharoplasty surgery for upper and lower eyes. Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy did a FABULOUS job! What else can I say about a VERY meticulous, highly acclaimed, extremely qualified and experienced plastic surgeon with a good eye for aesthetics from Beverly Hills well known among celebrities? I look at least 10 years younger!! And the staff at Elite MD did an excellent job following up with me before and after surgery. Do exactly what they say, be patient and you too will be happy with the results."
"I actually came to Elite MD because, I have a ethnic skin and acne scars. I always felt insecure about my skin because of my breakouts when i was younger. Since i started coming here i have noticed a difference in my skin and texture. I feel so comfortable wearing my hair up now and wear little to no make up. Skin is so much smoother and softer. I had 4 Ematrix lazer treatments, facials and use the day & nighttime products. I love the products so much. The staff here are always so kind and welcoming. The facility is also very clean. Coming here was the best decision ever. Thank you for all you do."
"Loved my experience with Dr. Sonia at Elite MD. She went over preventative treatments, skin care, and maintenance for my neck and décolletage. I’m very happy with the results and I’ll be back."
"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."
"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 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."
"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!"
"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 chose Elite MD because I wanted to change my appearance. I decided to take a stepping stone and go in for a consultation. I had my consultation with Dr. Bansal, and I loved it. He gave me a variety of options in which I decided was best for me. The procedure I got was breast implants, specifically silicone gel implants. I knew since high school that my breasts weren't going to be bigger than a size A. The purpose of this procedure for me was to feel more sexy, confident, and radiant in my own skin. My surgery has made me feel exactly how I wanted. I feel so much more sexier, confident and comfortable in my new skin. I don't have that same insecurity anymore. I feel like I was a caterpillar going through my metamorphosis and now I am a butterfly. I have come back to Elite MD for scar treatment as well. I would highly recommend scar treatment after surgery. I would refer family and friends to Elite MD. I would educate anyone that is considering the same procedure and answer any questions they have for me."
"September 14, 2013 Dear Dr. Bansal, You made me feel comfortable and cared for from the moment I met him for my consultation and throughout my procedure and recovery. You are thorough, patient and understandable in explaining everything I needed to know about the procedures I was having including the recovery. You insured that I was well prepared to make good decisions about the work I needed and wanted done as well as set appropriate expectations for each stage of the process, including self-care. I appreciate the time you have spent with me after my surgery on an ongoing basis to insure my healing process. My procedure was upper and lower eyelid surgery along with mini face lift and neck lift done without general anesthesia. Cynthia Silorio, NP, who has been administering my Dysport® for several years, does a wonderful job and is very skilled. She is well informed, patient and is an expert in her field. Candy Castillo, the Patient Care Coordinator for Elite MD is informative, thorough and very responsive to all of my questions. The day of surgery, Shannon, Medical Assistant, was there from the beginning of my surgery until the end. She is very caring and a sweetheart. I was very nervous and she made me feel right at ease. Jeff Wheaton, RN is terrific. He is thorough and does a great job with great results. He is professional, patient and knowledgeable. Cindy Cecena, Surgical Technician is very personable, caring and does a great job. Post-operative visits. I would like to thank Shannon Stewart, Medical Assistant and Jeff, RN and Cindy Cecena, Surgical Technician for taking the time on each appointment after my surgery. You have all been so available and attentive to all of my needs and questions. I so appreciate your care and expertise. I would also like to thank and Brittany McCormick, Medical Assistant and Shannon Stewart for taking my many phone calls with questions in the first two weeks after surgery. Dr. Bansal, your investment and education in the latest plastic surgery techniques and dedicated medical staff is very apparent. I am just four weeks into my recovery period and already seeing positive results. I would recommend you to any of my friends and family. Thank you!"
"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."
