Dr Teitelbaum and his staff are caring professionals working to achieve high quality, natural and realistic patient results and satisfaction. From the moment I spoke with his office; I was impressed. When I met Dr T for my consultant, I knew immediately I found a physician I could trust with my face and Brow Lift! I work in the medical community and SoCal has a lot of plastic surgeons. When I decided I was ready for some enhancements in my facial appearance (over 50); I did a lot a research on procedures as well as surgeons. I asked friends and colleagues for referrals. After careful review; I narrowed it down to three - Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Newport Beach. I read reviews; websites and poured over the before and after pics. So, believe me when I write: you'll Love Dr Teitelbaum and his staff; April, Michelle, Vicki, Jackie, Maria! They listen to your desires, goals and concerns. I was sent detailed information about the procedures ahead of my consultant, including info about the risks, recovery and what to expect. They did a thorough intake of my health history. During my first consultant, Dr T was running behind and popped in to apolgize for making me wait. Impressive! And once we started chatting about my goals, desires and concerns, I understood why he may run late. He LISTENS! He answers questions. He reviews your health background. He develops a plan that meets those goals and understands if you don't have an unlimited budget to tackle everything at once. (I'm definitely going back for my face lift!) He and his staff followed up with information; directions for Pre-OP and pricing. There were no surprises or missteps. On the day of the surgery, Dr T decided to eliminate a small procedure on my lower eyelids, because he didn't believe it was really necessary. I was a little shocked and at the same time, pleased that once it came down to Performance Time; he was making his best professional and clinical decisions. He refunded that portion. This Dr is about delivering beautiful results. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. My friends just think I look rested and when I show them the before; they are like WOW! What a difference! They didn't realize how much my eyelids sagged, how angry my brow lines were and the wrinkles in my forehead. During the recovery process; Michelle was such a sweetheart. We were laughing because she woke me up from a great dream. All along the way, April was there to answer my questions via phone calls and email. And, i even had a question for Dr T and he responded via cell text. They never made me feel unimportant or complaining. They were professional and concerned as well as excited for me. Great support regarding any fears too! Read his website; every word chosen is a deliberate reflection of his philosophy and beliefs. As for the other two doctors I intereviewed; I left the office of the OC doc after 5 minutes because he came in not wearing a mask during Covid! I knew we were not a match. The other doctor was awesome, but kept insisting i needed a face lift vs some eye work. Dr Teitelbaum listened. (And, his staff always wears mask even though they have been vacciinated!) TRUST I feel more confident with and without makeup. I wake up and no longer look "haggard" in the morning. And, I feel like my self - vibrant, happy and no longer "angry" with those middle of the brow lines!!! Thank you for helping me gain my "bright" self back!
