Michael A. Bain, MD

Dr Bain has a great bedside manner. A real concern for what is best for his patient. He ended up referring me to another surgeon because my case is so complicated. I appreciated the fact that he did what was best for me and not for his wallet. Very honest. Not to mention his patient coordinator is very sweet.

Years ago, I went to Dr. Bain for a procedure that should have been done correctly the first time. I was not happy with the procedure initially but he insisted to wait till the swelling went down and should I feel the need to come back and redo it, he would at no additional cost as at the time he felt that he made that decision based on his own judgement and not what I wanted. I should have spoken up for myself and rather than do so I didn’t. It’s hard for me to say something when you tell someone with a career, the «professional», that they didn’t do it right. But that’s what I thought the consultation was for? I mean, my fault for not speaking up for myself but I definitely learned my lesson. Personally, I think that if I’m paying you a lot of money for a procedure to be done, it should have been done the correct way and if it wasn’t it should have been brought up during the consultation. Although, at the time, he was so attentive and very concerned with his patients that I told myself «wow, this doctor really cares». Well, I moved to Vegas and he kept in contact with me for few months. After that never heard from him. Now just about a month ago, beginning of November I was going under for a Breast lift/​aug with another doctor and reached out to dr. Bain at the same time. Not looking for free services because it was ⁶⁄₇ years ago that my procedure took place but def wanting to go to him again to redo my procedure considering he had done the first one! Well, I called the first time got a consultation date and couldn’t make that date. Called a second time and the receptionist/​appt scheduler/​front desk woman gave me the runaround. Said that he’d been at the hospital taking over for other doctors and hasn’t been in the office AND doesn’t know when he’ll be back. Maybe the of beginning of next year… Maybe not. I was a little appalled but said okay I’ll call back in a week. Called a third time and now I’m a little pissy with an attitude and spoke with her again. She pretty much told me to go to a different doctor as I told her I wanted to go to him but he’s not available to do surgeries and that’s money out of their pocket? I just am baffled at this point. What kind of service is this and the way she made me feel?! What happened the first time? Did they chat it up, he remembered me and was afraid that I wanted to take him up on the offer that HE originally mentioned and said don’t schedule her for a consultation and so they’ve been giving me the runaround? Well, sure feels like it. Anyways, I just paid almost 13K with my doctor for a breast lift/​silicone replacement and couldn’t be happier. I would have paid double that amount for Dr. Niccole’s work. He’s the best and I will continue to take my business there.

I had a great experience here today! I didn’t have to wait at all, and Dr. Bain was very nice and easy to get along with. His secretary, Sheron was unbelievably friendly. Amanda, the other girl in the office helped set me up in the room and clean my wound. She was very easy to talk to and made sure you were comfortable. The office was very clean and easy to relax in no matter what your situation is. I would recommend Dr. Michael Bain to anyone who needs a plastic surgeon and an expert in wound care!

Dr. Bain and amber are the best always go out of there way to make you happy if you ever need any work done face body skin cancer these are the people for you.

Had a Miradry procedure done here by Amber Richter and I couldn’t be happier I did it.
It isn’t as painful as people make it out to be, the swelling is more trouble some and annoying than the actual procedure though, plan to not workout for a solid week, maybe two.
The results were incredible. Highly recommend this.
Can’t say enough great things about Amber, she makes the whole thing as pain free, and smooth as possible. She was fantastic.
If you are thinking about Miradry, do it, and come here.

Had a bad experience – very rude and condescending as well. I am guessing he has filtered or had Unilocal remove the many poor reviews of his business due to the fact all negative reviews mysteriously disappeared and there are several more positive reviews. My opinion is to go elsewhere.

Best decision ever!
Dr Bain is very calm, patient and thorough, I immediately knew this was the doctor for me!
The day of surgery he comes in with his game face on ready to perform this very important life changing event, I admire his focus and that he was checked in.
Aftercare is amazing, Raquel and Amanda in his office are wonderful. Dr Bain even drove to Long Beach to my home when I had a concern to look at me. What doctor does that now a days?
I was so pleased with everything and would HIGHLY recommend him. Never have I seen such overall excellence in an office. I love the way I look and my whole experience was just great! I wish I would have done this sooner. I feel more confident and better than ever… he did a superb job, my scars are barely visible and it’s only been a few months.
Thank you Dr Bain and staff for changing my life in the most positive way!

Well, as I have been around the cosmetic procedures block a few time, I came here on referral from a friend. I have gotten bad botch jobs from other surgeons and whatnot, however, his staff was very caring, and took the time to give me all of the information I needed so I could make a great decision.
I ultimately decided to get my normal botox and juviderm regiment, and they did awesome magic with me.

Yes, I am reviewing a plastic surgeon. No, I did not get a boob job (sorry, breast augmentation or reduction), botox, or tummy tuck (some would say I could benefit from such a procedure). Little did I know, high-​end Newport Beach plastic surgeons also work miracles on chopped up hands!
So, genius that I am, I chopped the hell out of my hand while cutting firewood on a backpacking trip. Huge, ugly gash on my palm near my thumb. We bandaged it up and headed for the urgent care. Due to the depth and severity of the wound and risk of infection, they didn’t want to close it up right away. My PCP is affiliated with Hoag and has been practicing in Newport Beach for decades, and highly recommended Dr. Bain.
A plastic surgeon? WTF? Why couldn’t they just stitch me up? A whole host of reasons, apparently! Potential muscle and nerve damage, risk of infection, potential for bad scarring, etc.
So I go. I didn’t know what to expect, having never been to a plastic surgeon, but I was impressed. Very nice offices, very friendly staff and a really great nurse. Dr. Bain is a big dude, like me, and immediately reassuring. He has a great manner, and quickly made me feel at ease. We talked about outdoors stuff while he examined my wound. He explained all the potential issues, told me what his plan was, and closed it up that day. I went back a couple of times for follow-​up visits, and now you cannot even see where the wound was! A 2-​inch long jagged gash — no scar!
I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Bain’s calm, professional demeanor and sense of humor. I am frankly blown away by the lack of a scar — I almost feel cheated out of a BS knife-​fight story to tell my kids!
In all seriousness, I highly recommend Dr. Bain and his practice. I decided to do a Unilocal review because the experience was so unusual in today’s health care environment — personal experience, no rush, genuine care for my concerns, a sense of humor, and a very positive result.

I am so happy that I picked Dr. Bain for my breast augmentation surgery. He did a beautiful job. I am beyond happy with my results. Dr. Bain was very knowledgeable and nice. Dr. Bain’s staff is awesome as well. Raquel was so helpful and caring. I would absolutely recommend anyone to Dr. Bain. My sister wants to get a breast augmentation and she is going to Dr. Bain for sure!

Professional, Precise, Honest & Skilled! I selected Dr Bain as my surgeon for breast augmentation in June of 2011. I had consultations with 4 other doctors prior to making my decision. I am beyond happy with my results as well as the whole experience of surgery, post-​op recovery, and follow up appointments. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bain to anyone seeking this kind of surgery.

Dr. Bain and his staff were a dream come true when it came to my Breast Augmentation. In the land of Cosmetic Surgery, my head was spinning. Luckily, a friend recommended Dr. Michael Bain! From scheduling pre-​op appointments to the day of the surgery, his friendly staff took care of all my questions and needs.
Dr. Bain knew exactly what I was looking for, and knew what would look good on my frame. I was afraid of going too big or too small, but he was very knowledgeable about which choice would be best.
I am very happy with my results and would recommend Dr. Bain’s services to any of my close friends and family.
