My visit regarding breast implant removal was dissatisfying and upsetting. The doctor's physician assistant was condescending and cold. She did the exam and when the doctor came in, he just leaned against the wall to talk to me. Before he walked out, he asked to take a look. I have had a lot of plastic surgery in my life and these 2 clowns should join the circus!

I had a double mastectomy in 2010. I went to him to find out if my implants had been recalled and also because I've never been happy with my results. He told me they weren't recalled...great! Then he told me that plastic surgeons don't like repairing decent work...they don't want a 20% improvement, they want to be able to show a drastic improvement! Then he said that if I'd lose weight I'd like my breasts better. He suggested I lose weight and come back in 6 months. I would never recommend him to anyone...especially a cancer survivor.

At the age of 47 I finally had the courage to get my breast reduction. I am 5'3", weigh 130lbs and wore a 32G bra. Dr Dobke is not the warmest doctor in the world, but who needs that in a surgeon, maybe a therapist, but not a surgeon. He was to the point, very professional, on schedule, super informative and always pleasant. I am now very happily a full C cup. They are super natural. I had minimal scaring. UCSD is an amazing facility, I also had 2 brain surgeries there(so I should know)

I did so much homework due to the fact of NEVER having any type of surgery. Long story short I made an extra consult to make sure my questions were answered which they were. Except for "what size will I be" I was told Dr.Dobke would talk to me the day OF surgery and I could tell him if I wanted to be in the bigger or smaller size. Well in a nutshell that never happen, at least not coherent. The worst feeling knowing he talked to me while I was ALREADY under sedation. I feel like a "case" not a person.

Dr and staff are very friendly and personable. Dr is very knowledgeable. I felt completely comfortable being in his care. And I love the work he did! I'm very pleased!
