I have had the best experience at this office. I had breast implants that were so bad and I did not think anyone could fix it but Dr. Bartelbort worked wonders for me as my case was very challenging! Him and his staff are unbelievable and SO kind (and gorgeous as well)! I cannot wait to get my face done next with them! I trust this office so much!

Dr. Barttelbort performed a bilateral breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy. As I am sure you can imagine, the tissue that once formed a shapely breast was now unrecognizable and contained many surgical scars. As good as my mastectomy doctor was, your body is altered forever. When I came to Dr. Barttelbort, I was wanting to feel better about my image in the eyes of my husband. What I realized is that I wanted this more for myself. My husband loved me regardless. I canceled Lead with Dr. Barttelbort many times before making the decision. It was the best decision I ever made. It was worth every penny and every part of the healing process. Dr. Barttelbort was able to reshape my body and reconstruct the most natural looking breast that fit my frame perfectly. The follow up care was above and beyond anything I ever expected. I cannot recommend Dr. Barttelbort and his office enough.

I’ve been one of Dr. B’s patients since 2021 when he successfully corrected capsular contracture for me (after previous failed implant replacement surgeries with another practice), and I just completed a full implant replacement and blepharoplaty surgery with him. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. B as both a person and a surgeon. He is genuinely kind, compassionate, and deeply invested in the health and wellbeing of his patients. This is not a surgeon who is chasing social media fame or industry accolades, and you will see the benefit of such in the result of his work and the treatment you receive both in his office and in his operating room. I don’t even live in California anymore and when I decided it was time to invest in these procedures he was the only surgeon I would consider going to. The entire office staff is a delight as well (because they too know and appreciate what a top notch individual Dr. B is). If you are considering cosmetic work for the first time or as a revision I cannot recommend this man enough. I feel very blessed to be able to be one of his patients. 🙏

The entire process with Dr. B and his team was a dream. There was so much support from everyone throughout the entire journey. I would, without second thought, recommend Dr. B to my loved ones. He is so detail oriented, compassionate, and kind that I did not doubt for one second how successful this surgery would be. I would do it all over again and if you are looking for a phenomenal plastic surgeon, truly, look no further. Thank you to Dr. B and all the girls in the office for making me feel so safe!

I had an incredibly positive experience with Dr. Barttlebord. I was initially hesitant about getting surgery, but meeting him immediately put my mind at ease and confirmed I was making the right decision. His entire staff is truly incredible, and they genuinely care for their patients. I never felt rushed and was treated with exceptional care and professionalism throughout the entire process. I am extremely happy with the results and wholeheartedly believe he is the best..
