Joseph Grzeskiewicz, MD FACS

I have been reading stories for a while now and thought it fair to post a bit of my story. After giving birth to my baby and breastfeeding for 10 months my body was ruined, saggy breast with absolutely no volume, lots of fat deposit in my abdominal area that was not responding neither to exercises no diets.
Then i decided to go with the breast augmentation and liposuction.
First doctor i went to was Dr Daniel J Brown at Luxepacifica, the wait time for initial consultation was around 40 minutes after that i had consultation with his patient care coordinator Melanie Mason for about 30 minutes and then i had a chance to see doctor and the whole time he spent with me was around 15 minutes.
I felt i was another client for him and he wants to take money from me, do his job fast and go. He immediately told me i have to do a breast lift in order to make breast augmentation, that made me sad, i did not expect that to be honest with you, no other options were given, i left the office frustrated.
So that was big «no no no» for me, doing plastic surgery first time i wanted to be sure we are on the same page with doctor.
Later Melanie sent me a quote for 21K.
Second doctor i went to was Dr Smoot at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Center, where i was referred to by the friend of mine. Good Doctor, little bit of old school, fun, left the office feeling” you tell us what to do– pay as and we ll do it”.
Later patient coordinator Jan Luck sent me pretty good quote.
But still, everything was in rush, no personal touch, no connection with doctor.
sorry Dr Smoot, i am not choosing you.
Third Doctor, God sent was Dr. Joseph Grzeskiewicz.
No wait time at all, like really no second waiting. The minute i entered their beautiful office i felt and was treated like a princess. Doctor spent 2 hours (!!!) with me, asking about my lifestyle, family history, image of my dream body and telling me about new technologies that currently used in cosmetic surgery, what would work better for me and my body type, explained clearly recovery time, so he took his time to answer all my questions, concerns. Advised a way how we can avoid a breast lift procedure while doing breast argumentation. He was extremely kind, and made me feel very comfortable. And i tell you this, i am business owner, every time i need to make decisions i need at least a night to sleep and think about it, but after the consultation with doctor G i paid a deposit to book my surgery at once. It worked out so well, that I’m convinced it was meant to be :)
Eva Tutic, Customer Experience Advocate in Dr Grzeskiewicz office definitely went an extra mile giving me the opportunity to pay the way i want it and the amount i was comfortable with. She is very organized, very responsive and do everything possible to make you feel comfortable and worry free.
At the time of the surgery Dr. Joseph Grzeskiewicz and his team: Dr. M. Lou Marsh, Anesthesiologist and Gudron Watson, RN were professional, warm and caring.
I experienced far & above the usual standard in Plastic Surgery when it comes to their caring attitude, professional advisory, handling questions/​issues, special requests, meeting the patients’ needs and exceeding result standards.
I am sooo blessed Dr Dr. Joseph Grzeskiewicz performed my surgery and changed my life. No words can express the gratitude I have with my new self.
Don’t waist your time come to the best-​of-​the-​best!
Doctor, your surgical skills, TRUE TALENT and professional expertise has given me a new body and most importantly, a new outlook on life. I have confidence and self-​esteem, something I’ve never experienced before. My family and friends are so impressed with the new me. I now want to get out of the house, be seen and enjoy life. Getting dressed for the day is my favorite part of the day now, Now i am the women i always wanted to be: beautiful, confident and HOT!!! Instead of being overwhelmed with trying to hide my body with lose clothes, I now look forward to getting dressed every day! Never in my dreams did I think I could wear bikini and people will turn heads to see ME walking by. Yes! This is truly the «body «I dreamed about. Thank you Doctor, God bless you, you are destined to be a plastic surgeon that makes miracles!

Although Dr. G is the most personable and nicest doctor ever met, I had complications from my breast augmentation with lift with the surgery. From the very beginning. When I brought my concerns up to his practice, they told me to give it, time that things get better with time, well now it’s our year and half later. I’ve experienced necrosis (tissue loss) of 25-​% of my right nipple and all my scars are horrible. When I first addressed my concerns, I was told I would not be charged a surgeons fee for my revision. I have several emails and texts with that exact verbiage. No surgeons Fees.
I am now disfigured, I’m missing 25% of my right Ariola, have horrific the scars and my breasts fall into my armpits. They are two different sizes due to amount of Internal scarring. I also have capsular contracture.
When I contacted Sientra regarding the issues I’ve been experiencing. Although, my implants are not covered under warranty Sientra was willing to replace them at no cost to me as a customer service gesture.
When ever the patient Cordinator Eva, was contacted by Sientra to inform her that that implants will be paid for she still tried to charge me for them even though they were going to be provided free of charge. The new fee for my revision surgery that she wanted me to pay over $ 6000.
The way that ever has made me feel is just beyond me. She has hurt my soul, she has hurt my spirit, and has made me feel worthless. Her husband Dr. G is a very kind man I will do anything in his power to make you happy. She however is all about the costs. I’m going to attach pictures of my before-and-after’s for my surgery and her response to my
review You can check out that review on
. She sarcastically says that my expectations were unrealistic and that she is disappointed by the way that I have talked about her husband and herself. I am not the only person that has had an unsatisfactory result, not only from her husband’s plastic surgery skills but from her as a customer service representative.
When she called me months ago asking me for review after she had received negative feedback from a consultation regarding her demeanor I refused. How could she possibly ask me to give her a good review when my surgery was still botched. All she cares about is the ratings and the money not peoples emotions, people spirits oror people’s hearts. She even rudely mocks me in her email stating maybe if they would have done everything for free that my review would very different. My response to that Fullery is had she kept her word and not charge me the surgeons fee for repairing my botched surgery that she was perhaps correct that my review would’ve been much better. I never asked for a free ride and I never asked for it to be completely free of charge. I understand that there are general anesthesia fees, and surgical fees involved that have nothing to do with the actual plastic surgeon that need to be paid I was willing to pay that no problem today I wake up to an email from Dr. G and Eva his wife stating that I am no longer one of their patients and they would like to go ahead and remove me from their practice I will also attach a copy of both those letters and a copy of the emails from Eva. I have had several attorneys contact me from my real self review and will go over my options.
Be careful what you wish for, do your research as much as possible, asked for before and after’s in the office, and phone numbers of previous patients to see how reputable this place really is.

I had been thinking about breast augmentation for years. I lost most of my breast tissue through years of intense training, along with two cup sizes. No matter what I did (even gaining weight), I never regained the size. I wanted my natural full breasts back! Couldn’t be happier with Dr. G.
Most women seem to go off of word-​of-​mouth when selecting a surgeon. Worse yet, they limit their options to the surgeons their friends used. I have a big problem with this. Of course if I ask my girlfriend if she liked her surgeon, she’s going to say «yes,» unless something went horribly wrong. Then, I ask my girlfriends how THEY selected a surgeon and they say «well so-​and-​so used him.» That’s not good enough for me.
So I took it upon myself to do an exuberant amount of research. My goal was to find a surgeon who knew everything about cohesive implants, the types, sizes, surgical techniques. I wanted a surgeon knowledgeable enough to be able to lay out my options and provide a great recommendation for my goals and my body. So I studied. a lot, not about the surgeons, but about the products. I studied the manufacturers, the warranties, the stability of the companies, the sizes available in Europe and the US, the different shapes, the different gels, etc. That way, when I attend my consults, I knew whether the surgeon actually had experience with all three types of cohesive implants by asking some pointed questions.
I selected four surgeons based on the reviews and before/​after photos. I went to four consults total. Two surgeons were easily out of the running because they gave me wrong information about the implants, couldn’t explain the differences very well and/​or only had experience with one or two of the three cohesive implants available. I narrowed it down between Dr. Teitlebaum and Dr. G. Dr. Teitlebaum was highly qualified, came highly recommended and had extensive experience and knowledge with each of the implants. Dr. G was equally knowledgeable and experienced. Both doctors had the same aesthetic goals as me and preferred creating natural looking breasts. I also wanted breasts that FELT like breasts and not bags of water or hard round stones. Again, both surgeons had great recommendations and understood my goals completely. It was one of the toughest decisions I made in a long time. However, Dr. G’s attention to his clients is beyond compare. I never felt rushed during my consults and whenever I sent follow up questions (which there were a lot of), I got a response the same day FROM Dr. G. None of the other surgeons were nearly as attentive. Ultimately, I went with my gut. Dr. G is warm, inviting, and does an excellent job of treating you as more than a mere potential patient.
The entire experience with Dr. G and his office was incredible. Eva is very sweet, patient, and gives great advice and recommendations. She was also very responsive to any questions or concerns. I brought my boyfriend in on my second consult and he was treated with just as much respect. I truly felt cared for in this office. Everything was flawless. Even the after-​care was exceptional. I was in a significant amount of pain as my pecs were very tight after the surgery. This was a result of my boxing and training régime. Dr. G was very responsive to my concerns and did not hesitate to provide additional pain management after he saw how much pain I was experiencing. It was a huge relief as some doctors are skeptical when a female patient comes in complaining about pain. Dr. G, as always, listened to my concerns and was more than willing to help.
I can’t say enough about my experience and I can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. I love my results. Dr. G gave me exactly what I asked for and I couldn’t be happier. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consult. You won’t regret it.

I’ve been going to Dr G for years for fillers and botox he keeps my face on point. So when I was bitten by a friends dog on my face. I wouldn’t let anyone else touch me. He put me back together! He is so amazing and truly the most talented surgeon as well! Thanks for everything!!! His new location and staff are the best too

Now beside being the most wonderful plastic surgeon EVER he actually cares about his patients and his nurse Gruchren is the sweetest.
He fixed my first boob job and now I couldn’t be happier with them. He also does my injections of Botox. I always recommend him to all my friends. I have had 4 of my girlfriends now go to him and all of them have been super happy with the results and him, he is by far the best ever!
I will continue to go to him and will always recommend him to ANYONE! HE IS THE BEST!

If your looking for a kind, caring, knowledgeable, professional surgeon and staff Dr. Gs office is the place to go. After researching surgeons for months one of my good friends referred me to Dr. G, and I could not be more grateful! Gudrun is the nurse, she was incredibly knowledgeable, Eva the coordinator was able to work with my crazy schedule and set my surgery for the exact day I wanted. Dr. G was SO caring and understanding of what I wanted. Eva did an amazing job keeping track of my progress these last 6 weeks and I could not be happier with my results! I truly feel like Dr G is the best surgeon around! Five star experience

Dr. G and his entire staff are absolutely Top Notch! After interviewing with him and seeing his before and after gallery of pictures there was no doubt in my mind about who my surgeon would be. Being a nurse myself I carefully vetted the surgeon who would be performing a «Grammy Makeover», couldn’t be happier with the results. I have never looked this good, my only regret is that I didn’t do this earlier in life! Anytime night or day that I had a concern or worry all I had to do was text Eva, she would always respond in a timely fashion and if she couldn’t answer my question Dr. G would be right there. Couldn’t ask for a more seamless experience, from the first days post op until now at almost 5 months.
Absolutely the Best of the Best!!!
Xoxo

Dr G is the best cosmetic surgeon in San Diego!!! This doctor actually cares about each and everyone of his patients genuinely.
His nurse Gudrun will answer any questions
and keep your nerves calm. His coordinator Eva is exceptional and gets what you need immediately. All 3 are an amazing team of individuals who truly care about their patients !!! I love Dr G and would never go to anyone else

I have no idea how anyone could have anything negative to say about Dr. G or his staff! I had the absolute best medical experience in my entire life at his office.
For starters, Eva his assistant, is absolutely amazing. She was so friendly and caring to me, listened to everything I had to say, & answered every email promptly. Even 3 months post-​op shes still been great at keeping up with me & seeing how my recovery is going. She’s an absolute sweetheart & wonderful at her job.
Gudren his head nurse, was also an angel & helped me with all nervousness. I got sick a few days after surgery & she was easily accessible by phone and helped through the whole situation.
And then there’s Dr. Go who’s AMAZING at what he does! I went from a 32a to a 32d and I finally feel like I look natural & normal. Dr. G is undoubtably an artist. I have had a perfect experience here & have already referred many people.

The talented and ever so kind Dr. Joseph Grzeskiewicz has been my one (and only) doctor for 8 years…
After almost TWO years of intense research, consults (I even walked out of a few feeling so uncomfortable), online reviews, and going as far as checking collegiate accolades and board certifications, it was a no brainier decision on my first consult with Dr. G.
Relatively shy about the surgery, I had finally found someone who not only made me very comfortable and at ease with his ever professional yet laid back personality, straight forward, no BS approach. I looked through books and books of before and afters, consistently seeing work that was amazing, looked natural and consistent. It was crystal clear that he knew his craft, was on top of technology, and honestly. just wanted to do what was best for me. It just felt right.
He has done two surgeries, and many in office visits for outpatient services. I have never had a second thought, been once unsatisfied with anything. I trust him emphatically and he is THE ONLY doc I will see.
The repose I have had to his work is beyond I ever imagined and well deserved!
Thank you Dr. G

This doctor has got to be the most personable doctor in all of La Jolla he is a very nice doctor. That being said his skills aren’t so up to par with his personality (it seems) I went in for a consult but lack of before and after pictures is what made me decide to go else where –as well as his assistant EVA. Wow! This lady is extremely unprofessional but acts very confident, she will give you aALL type of excuses to avoid answering any questions you may have (even though she tells you to feel free to ask HER any questions) she will claim to get back to you once she speaks to Dr. G but you will never hear from her unless you get a hold of her again shes extremely unhelpful. I ran away from surgery mainly because of Evas lack of professionalism.
I wonder how many patients he loses because of her!
