Satisfied with the outcome. [Single best thing is...] Looks natural. Dr. Wheeler and staff are the best.

08/21/2020

Dr. Wheeler did the surgery & he has a long career. Dr. Salazar did the ultrasound & was very good to explain everything.

07/25/2020

We did our first visit via Zoom. He was very professional even with it being a Zoom meeting. I was very comfortable sharing my situation and his knowledge of what type of procedure he recommended.

06/30/2020

Mole Removal

Good advice.

05/23/2020

Excellent staff and communication and attention. Dr. Wheeler was a great listener and explained thoroughly what he recommended and what the process and outcome would be. This was also the first experience I've had where I did not get sick from anesthesia. The entire process from the 1st appointment to after surgery has been a great experience and I will go back for other surgeries in the future. [Single best thing is...] I had such anxiety going in to this and they made me feel so comfortable.

04/15/2020

They look really nice ... everyone was professional and kind.

04/08/2020

I have been a patient of Dr. Wheeler for decades and consider him to be the best cosmetic surgeon in San Diego. I have been consistently overwhelmed with his surgery and his great way of communicating. I do hate to see him retire. He will really be missed. [Single best thing is...] Dr. Wheeler and the staff are the greatest.

04/01/2020

The results exceeded my hopes! From first consultation I knew I was in great hands. Follow up care & instructions were explicit.

02/04/2020

Arm Lift

Dr. Wheeler is not only kind but also highly qualified to perform any of the procedures listed previously. I have had other areas treated by him as well regarding a large weight loss in my early 20’s. He is direct and honest and will say exactly what he needs to say and as a patient I appreciate his direct honesty.

01/22/2020

The surgery went really well. I am very happy with the results from my breast removal and replacement. Staff did follow up calls to ensure I was doing well. [Single best thing is...] They look very natural not fake!

01/20/2020

Dr. wheeler is so kind. He took time to look at me, tell me approximate cc amount being placed, drew a picture of my face and described to me what he was gonna do. Didn't try to sell me, his prices are fair not overly inflated like some Dr.s who inflate their prices every 6 months for the same procedure.

01/06/2020

very well done. Very professional. Outcome was what I wanted and expected

12/27/2019

The doctor and staff were confident and knowledgeable. Everyone I met was personable and kind. The office was beautiful and comfortable.

12/24/2019

Dr. Wheeler suggested areas that I had not considered & since I trust him, I am reassured we are on the same page.

12/19/2019

The job was done very professionally with a natural look on my face, no one can tell I had it done. I am looking a lot younger compared to my age.

07/29/2019

Dr. Wheeler is kind, thoughtful, an artist, and he goes above and beyond to address any concerns or issues I may have had in terms of my recovery. Dr. Wheeler showed compassion and understanding when I was unable to make my surgery date due to the illness and death of a family member. The entire staff treated me in a warm and professional manner, their attention to detail and kindness was overwhelming. Thank you all for kindness. The single best experience was when I was unable to make my appointment date and in tears called the office and said I so sorry but I was emotional and drained from care giving a family member. The staff showed support and compassion, Dr. Wheeler set another date and was able to move forward with the surgery a few weeks later.

07/18/2019

The surgery made me look brighter and less tired looking. I felt more alive looking. Younger too! [Single best thing is...] The group of people that I interacted with and the Doctor were great!

06/24/2019

I think Dr. Wheeler takes his time to explain what he can do for me. I did not feel rushed. I trust him because I have used him before.

05/28/2019

The doctor was very informative about the procedures and knowledgeable. I like how he asked all the right questions. No pressure kind of clinic which I like.

05/23/2019

Dr. Wheeler had a kind professional manner. Made me feel comfortable. Informative.

05/14/2019

Dr. Wheeler and Rachel were very informative and approachable. Waiting to hear why I was considering plastic surgery before they had recommendations.

04/23/2019

I loved the entire staff I encountered, very friendly, interested in me, caring, making sure I was fully informed along the way. I felt I could rely on them with questions at any time. I was impressed that the pain level was much lower than I had expected. I was given plenty of information beforehand and experienced no abnormal results or complications.

04/23/2019

Great experience from start to finish. Totally natural results! I’m having fun with my new appearance

04/19/2019

I felt the office was very professional and friendly. I have known Dr. Wheeler for many years and have had a number of procedures by him. He is conservative in his technique so the end result is very natural looking which I really appreciate.

04/18/2019

Dr. Wheeler was very professional, and he is an artist! He can make very realistic results. And couldn’t be happier with the results!

04/08/2019

Dr. Wheeler and his staff are so kind and compassionate. Dr. Wheeler is one of the best in his field and I couldn’t be happier with my results. It is so natural and not overdone. I look 15 years younger. He really listens to his patients. Thanks Dr. Wheeler!

03/03/2019

Dr. Wheeler and his nurse are just friendly and easy to discuss options with. I anxiously look forward to my scheduled surgery!

02/28/2019

Great information provided by Dr. Wheeler.

02/24/2019

My daughter [name] recently had breast augmentation. She is beyond thrilled with the results. She looks and feels fantastic! We couldn’t be happier with Dr Wheeler and his staff. Everyone was so nice and Professional. They really made the whole experience nice for her.

02/22/2019

Treatment / Procedure

Dr. Wheeler and his staff at LJCSC were awesome! Everyone made me feel so comfortableand made my surgery experience there so amazing. I am very satisfied with the resultsand would highly recommend them to anyone.

01/28/2019

The best thing about the procedure is the continual joy I get when I see myself in a mirror or photo! The confidence that I have in my nose and overall appearance is the gift that keeps on giving. . I am in love with my nose post-rhinoplasty! Dr. Wheeler did the most beautiful job and the results exceeded my expectations. Interestingly, since surgery I have gotten compliments that my eyes and lips look bigger! Strange how changing one feature can alter others (or their perception) as well. The staff was also so kind and professional! My one difficulty was with the pain meds post-surgery. I became very sick from them, and don’t think my pain necessitated them. I wish that I had been advised to start with ibuprofen or Tylenol first, and if needed move to something stronger.

01/07/2019

Everyone was very friendly and professional. I felt they listened well and was very informative about the procedure.

12/27/2018

I am a return patient of Dr. Wheeler and I have been so happy with my previous results I would not see another MD. The whole experience at La Jolla Cosmetics has been great! They make me feel like a priority and I love it!

11/15/2018

Professional, clean, courteous [Single best thing is...] Getting the results I wanted.

11/15/2018

As unsure as I am about the procedure, every one was wonderful, very informative and pleasant. Parking and access to the building was great....I just know I am not ready for a facelift

11/05/2018

I’ve had several surgeries with Dr. Wheeler and have been very satisfied with all of them and his staff is always been top notch! [Single best thing is...] It gave me my figure back

09/11/2018

Dr Wheeler is very nice and ethical who would not want to take advantage of you, but he cares for his patients.

07/02/2018

I have had other procedures done and I feel comfortable.

06/14/2018

Ruth and Reina were amazing! They both were very professional, comforting, knowledgable and 'got' what I was talking about :)

06/04/2018

I felt confident that I made the right decision after my first consultation because of the professionalism of the whole staff and followed by my discussion with Dr. Wheeler. I appreciated the counseling telling me exactly how the procedure was to be done from beginning, during and after. Knowing what to expect gave me peace of mind during my recovery.

05/30/2018

Dr. Wheeler and his staff are amazing. They answered all of my questions and made me confident in my decision to go forward with surgery. I am so pleased with my results and the recovery went very smooth, better than I expected. The results are amazing. I now look better than I have in years.

05/20/2018

I am very happy with Dr. Wheeler. He always tells you honestly what you can expect. I am one of his returning patients.

05/17/2018

Surgeon seemed very experienced and knowledgeable about the procedures that would be most appropriate for my concerns, and explained why other procedures might not be as useful. The before and after photos were a big help too.

05/06/2018

This surgery was my second face lift and other procedures with Dr. wheeler. He is the best plastic surgeon anyone could wish for!!! All my family and friends have had there procedures done by Dr. E. wheeler. KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP AND DON'T EVER RETIRE!!!! We are going to need you sometime in the future. Thank You, [patient name] Wow!! It has made me feel better about myself!!!

05/02/2018

Staff and doctor were very friendly and knowledgeable.

04/30/2018

Dr. Wheeler and his staff were personal and compassionate just a very comfortable and professional atmosphere I'm so much more comfortable in my body

04/23/2018

I am a healthcare professional and the experience of how professional everyone was made me comfortable and at ease.

04/16/2018

Dr. Wheeler is very warm, and care for his patients with high skill to bring out the nature and beauty look for me. More confident on myself.

04/13/2018

Dr. Wheeler was very genuine and upfront about the risks associated with breast augmentation. He makes you feel really comfortable and takes the one to answer questions you may have. Furthermore, the nurses at LjCSC are so attentive and kind.

04/13/2018

The doctor was so patient with me and answered all my questions, even if I had to ask things over, he was so kind and warm. I loved how honest he was with me about his experience with prior clients, etc. My favorite part about this visit was Shelly, the nurse who came in before the Doctor and got all my concerns, fears, and questions answered. Shelly listened so closely that when I was sharing with the Doctor she was able to help with anything I had forgotten to ask, etc. Shelly is exceptional in being comforting and knowledgeable; someone I would want in the operating room with me. Both the doctor and nurse were awesome and now I am able to proceed.

04/12/2018

Feel younger and more energetic! Everyone was extremely knowledgeable and courteous

04/12/2018

My confidence in the surgeon made me comfortable making this big decision. Staff excellent. The pre-op booklet and post-op written materials were invaluable to me and my recovery team!

04/12/2018

My experience from start to finish as far as the consultation goes was exceptional and I do plan on scheduling the surgery as soon as I can save the deposit!

03/17/2018

A few years ago, I took my daughter to Dr. Wheeler for a nose job, and was highly impressed with the overall practice as well as his surgical skills. I have three other friends who have had services from him. I knew I would go nowhere else for my surgery. Everyone in the office was patient and kind, and both Dr. Wheeler and staff answered all of my questions. I would certainly refer Dr. Wheeler to others.

03/15/2018

Mainly having to wait for 50 minutes to be seen. Not respectful of my time at all. Also what I want to feel about my surgeon is that he or she is an artist about body surgery. What every patient wants is to be reassured that her body is going to look fantastic afterwards. About how good the surgeon is at making the breasts look amazing, and the stomach look flat, and the belly button look normal. I was referred to Dr. Wheeler and that person said he is an amazing surgeon, but I was underwhlemed with his presentation of what he could do for me. Perhaps bedside manner doesn't translate into surgical skill, but that's all a patient has to go by is bedside manner. And there aren't as m any reviews on Real Patient as I would like to see.

03/15/2018

It answered my questions and fears

03/15/2018

I’ve been under Dr. Wheeler’s care off and on for past 28 years. Always been caring, communicates his information well and each time he’s done a procedure... I’ve healed very well, with minimal scars.

02/16/2018

Lip Enhancement

I look 15 years younger! Excellent surgeon, wonderful results.

02/12/2018

Giving me more confident, high esteem attitude in the office, to socialize with people. Received many compliment about the surgery results which are so good.

02/05/2018

I was very satisfied with my experience because out of all the doctors I tried to find for my procedure, this office was the the place that didn't tell me that I couldn't schedule a consultation for over a month. I had my consultation with Dr. Wheeler and right then and there I knew that I did not need to look for another doctor and he was the right one for me. After my consultation I booked my surgery and it was all amazing after that.

01/11/2018

The thorough examination by surgeon.

01/09/2018

Sutures came out the second day leaving a 2 inch opening in my scalp that would not stop bleeding. Doctor said it happens sometimes and it was because of the kind of sutures he was using. I still have very deep lines on my forehead between my eyes, but now I also have red rough spot as well. My mouth still has deep lines pulling down. No one thinks I look better at all. Over $20,000 and I don't look better.

01/03/2018

Very professional and caring staff memebers. . I was recommended to Dr.Wheeler from a friend of a friend. I went in for a consult and decided I was more then happy to schedule the surgery. Upon making a payment I did mention to the patient coordinator that I did NOT want to use my credit, and that I was fine paying half cash and the other half in payment through Health Care finance. Come to find out she ran my credit and my score was hit. Besides being upset about her hitting my credit score, I'm satisfied with my surgery and more then happy I chose Dr. Wheeler. He is such a blessing. If I decide to have any other procedures. I'll be taking into consideration about my credit being hit. She obviously was too hung over to clearly hear me say DO NOT RUN MY CREDIT, multiple times. I'm actually going to call the office and have them remove it somehow. I'm very upset about that. I believe the woman's name is Juliana.

11/20/2017

very satisfied except for not being told about the swelling on my face especially my eyes. Surgery was Sept 12 and today I sill have blurring vision and eye lids hurt and are extremely swollen, don't remember anyone telling me what to except. Persons are saying I look oriental when they see me. It does make me laugh, all my family says the same thing. When will the swelling go down. Thanks great experience, it was a good job.

11/16/2017

They listened to me and did the procedure I had requested. The anesthesiologist did a great job, although I did wake up enough to be a little uncomfortable once during the surgery. I can see much more! I think my night vision is better as well because there is more light entering my eyes. I think I also look more alert and rested.

11/06/2017

So far so good. I feel that I will be in good hands, I am at ease and comfortable. I am looking forward to my new contoured body!

09/27/2017

Everyone has been so helpful and caring and Dr. Wheeler's surgical skills are amazing!!!!

09/15/2017

Dr. Wheeler is very thorough. The staff, especially Shelley, are all so helpful and friendly.

08/30/2017

It was simply the best!

08/29/2017

The information provided to me about my procedure before, during, and after my surgery was easy to understand and comprehensive. My eyelid surgery has made me happy to look at my face in the mirror. People that haven't seen me in awhile comment on how rested and alert I look.

08/29/2017

The nurses were amazing and I can't tell you how happy I am with Dr. Wheeler. He is so kind and appreciate everything he has done.

08/29/2017

All of my questions were answered and I felt comfortable with the staff.

08/10/2017

Dr. Wheeler is very nice and patient

08/01/2017

Friendly, informative, and attentive front office staff and patient coordinator personnel. Kind, caring, and thorough medical staff. I trust Dr. Wheeler. He is dedicated, detailed, and has a calming presence during every appointment. I felt confident that I was in good hands, from initial consultation to the day of my surgery to all my follow up appointments. I even prettier than before my surgery

07/27/2017

I felt like the office, the doctor, and his assistant were very attentive to my concerns, listening to my fears, and giving me valuable and honest answers to my questions. They were very reassuring! Their explanations, the surgery itself, and the follow up were all done in a highly professional manner. I had heard that the La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre was very good and they truly were! I had been very anxious about even inquiring about any cosmetic surgery, but I am so pleased that I had the procedure done. Now I look years younger than most of my high school classmates. I am very happy with how I look! Being in the dental profession for forty years, I have had very close-up"relationships with my patients, many of whom had had past cosmetic surgeries. Many of the "outcomes" didn't look good...they looked pulled, stretched, and almost looked like burn victims (those with multiple surgeries). I had earlier thought that I would never go through such a procedure! But when I had concerns about my own looks, I very anxiously scheduled a consultation. The rest is history! I feel much younger and confident in my looks! "

07/13/2017

It wasn't that I was not satisfied I liked the doctor and the staff I met I just decided to go with a different doctor.

06/22/2017

Very professional staff. Dr Wheeler is such a great surgeon and so humble. Love the office. just a great experience

06/22/2017

Very clean, EASY procedure. So comfortable I did not experience an ounce of pain during the entire thing. 3 months post op my nose is still healing and I am still getting use to my nose but it looks amazing

06/14/2017

Everyone is caring and skilled attentive and professional So far so good!

06/14/2017

staff were very responsive and caring.... absolutely impressed with entire process so far my results are not fully done yet, still healing but so far my flat stomach

06/14/2017

DR. WHEELER TOTALLY EXCEEDED ALL MY HOPES. His work is perfection. Everything about my experience was amazing. If you need anything done Dr. Wheeler is the one. I look 20 years younger .

06/08/2017

This was my third face life with Dr. Wheeler. I could not be more satisfied. Results always as expected and a true sense of safety. I wouldn't go anywhere else or to anyone else. Exceptional. Thank you Self esteem is restored and a sense of confidence to face each day.

05/26/2017

Satisfied is an appropriate response; it doesn't mean anything was wrong.

05/25/2017

Dr Wheeler and his staff were AMAZING. They were kind, caring, and informative. They made me feel comfortable and like I knew them forever

02/17/2017

Revision Rhinoplasty

My meeting with dr wheeler pre-op, he spent a lot of time with me and took copious notes; I really felt like he wanted to make sure he got it just right. . This was my third rhino- Dr. wheeler understood and executed what needed to be done, unlike prior experiences

02/10/2017

I have never had a consultation or surgery with any doctor as thorough and detail oriented as Dr. Wheeler. He listens to concerns and give great explanations about procedures and answers any questions pertaining to health as it relates to procedures. He never made me feel hurried or that I wasn't important. He treated me like a doctor who cared about my well being, and that is not always the case in today's world.Jalayne Torres, Dr. Wheeler's assistant is the nicest and most caring nurse I have ever had. She answers e-mails and helps whenever there is a question or problem. I never have had to worry about getting hold of Dr. Wheeler or Jalayne when I have had a problem.

02/10/2017

The whole thing start to finish was great. Loved the nurses and surgeon.

02/09/2017

I've had other procedures done with this office and all of my interactions with everyone are always top notch! Everyone is knowledgeable, pleasant, and accommodating.

02/06/2017

I know about Dr Wheeler from previous years when I worked for plastic surgeons in San Diego. I like his reputation. I will be scheduling, hopefully, in the near future.

01/26/2017

Just not 100% happy with the outcome and felt like I shouldn't have to pay to have it fixed. Also the fact that I've referred 5-6 people to the clinical having major surgeries and have received not one thank you much less a referral credit - which apparently the center doesn't have. Frustrating.

01/10/2017

The single best thing is of course the result. I am overall highly satisfied because Dr. Wheeler is a master of his craft and because he and the entire staff (especially Jalayne) are thoroughly competent and professional yet at the same time friendly and know how to make clients comfortable.

01/07/2017

Everything was explained in detail!

01/03/2017

Dr. Wheeler has performed procedures on me before and has done a beautiful job every time. I have total confidence in him. This is a new office for me but everyone seemed to be so nice and very knowledgeable.

12/15/2016

Vaginal Rejuvenation / Tightening

I am so much more confident because now I look as young on the outside as I feel on the inside. After four months all of the reservations I had about the results are resolved.

My recovery took longer than I thought it would and I was very anxious about it for about three months but now I can say that it was definitely all worth it. Thank you Dr Wheeler and the staff.

10/29/2016

Some of the problems that were corrected came back and my ears are still numb after 10 weeks and the sides of my face are very tender and hurt to the touch.

10/28/2016

Great team. Surgeon has great bedside manner.

10/26/2016

I felt comfortable being the patient (not my usual role), and am grateful for the A+ treatment I received!Thank you Dr. Wheeler and staff!

10/08/2016

A bit of confusion with pricing. I kept getting emails for the glam fam" and called asking questions about it which the nurse told me "if you sign up, we'll give you 15% off your surgery on October 11th" after pulling up my file. After signing up and paying the sign up fee, Riana told me I was eligible for the glamfam discount. Mostly just felt annoyingly misled. "

10/06/2016

I cant hit enoughhighly satisfied" buttons, the staff was very attentive, the wait times were very short and I had the chance to spend a lot of time with the surgeon-which was wonderful. I didn't feel like I was rushed through anything. The facility was very clean. The staff was very professional, well educated and very attentive, all my questions were answered. I am having two procedures done and the cost is very reasonable. "

09/29/2016

I think Dr. Wheeler is excellent in all regards, however, I thought the botox was going to be put in the sides of my forehead and not just the frown line so I still have a lot of play and lines on either side of my brow. I could have asked for more but when I found out how much it would cost just for the midline frown line I thought that it was enough money to spend. It seems like botox used to be less expensive at your facility?

09/23/2016

Wonderful folks all! self esteem increase

09/22/2016

I liked the concern for my safety the surgeon had after he reviewed my medical history.

09/12/2016

I feel beautiful again. And the confidence I have now being able to feel sexy in my body again is priceless . Mayed me feel good and comfortable about the hole surgery. And mayed sure I understood everything that was going on. Love doctor Wheeler and will be back to La Jolla

08/25/2016

Natural results . i am completely satisfied with the surgery resultsDr Wheeler is the best! I look 10 years younger not overdone or stretched! A completely natural looking result just as I expectedDr Wheelers team is top notch.

Earlobe Repair

My results...smaller lobes. Dr wheeler and his nurse, Jaylane are incredible!!!

08/13/2016

Brow Lift

Nurse Jalayne Torres was particularly professional. She did and excellent job taking care of me, answered all my concerns and keep my fears in check. Very professional staff, that were friendly and informative.

08/06/2016

The facility and stall were excellent and Dr Wheeler is exceptional.

07/25/2016

The doctor and his nurse are very nice

07/22/2016

The kindness and encouragement from everyone I came in contact with. Dr. Wheeler is amazing, both as a physician/surgeon and as a sensitive listener with a warm and kind bedside manner. Jalayne, his nurse, was very sweet and caring. She welcomed my communications always, taking care not to ever make me feel like I was bothering her. I'm very happy with the outcome and think Dr. Wheeler is the best!

07/20/2016

Overall I had a very positive experience. I do believe that my implants are larger than I expected but that is not a fault of the doctor. He did exactly what I asked him to do. I just was not thinking they would be as large as they are.

07/18/2016

I look fantastic I feel great and I'm happy highly satisfied! This procedure was a fix of the procedure from a prior doctor. I had consulted with various people Dr. Wheeler immediately saw the problem and made suggestions with confidence. No other doctors seem to be as adept capable and onfident nor did they have the vision he had. I am delighted with my outcome.

07/11/2016

Yes I was very satisfied and feel very comfortable with Dr. Wheeler. He explains everything so it's very easy to understand and answered all of my questions. I have had bad experiences in the past when injected with Botox, that my brow has dropped. Dr. Wheeler knows exactly how to inject Botox on me and this doesn't happen. I am grateful.

07/01/2016

courteous and professional

07/01/2016

All the staff treated me like I was important

06/30/2016

Entire staff was kind, informative, respectful and knowledgeable. All my questions/concerns were addressed.

06/30/2016

I could not be happier with Dr Wheeler. He not only did the surgeries I asked for beautifully (face lift, fat transfer {slightly less than satisfied with this} and eyelid lift {best thing I've ever paid for in my life!!!} but he also gave me earlobes which I love and a mini-neck lift that I wasn't expecting but needed and love. The recovery wasn't bad at all. I've had much harder surgeries and the healing process was much faster than I thought. DR Wheeler truly cares about his clients and you can really tell in everything he does. I have referred him to already a dozen people and will be back for anything else I personally want done. He (or the center) can use my photos testimony or anything they need from me for marketing. Please let me know how or where I can review him if needed. He's like the Santa Claus of cosmetic surgery!

05/23/2016

Still healing so not sure but a psychological relief. Dr. Wheeler is a kind and compassionate Dr and you feel very safe in his hands. Great anesthesiologists, nursing staff is very professional and competent.

04/28/2016

The staff was friendly and well informed. I felt comfortable and educated about my proceedure.

04/15/2016

Price for procedure is out of my budget

04/14/2016

My eyebrows stopped twitching! Love everyone here, especially Dr. Wheeler

03/28/2016

Was very satisfied with the consultation and service I received, however, the cost was a couple thousand more than I expected and was able to pay.

03/24/2016

A friend of mine had face lift and a neck lift done by Dr Wheeler. She looks amazing!

03/22/2016

CoolSculpting®

Very professional, caring staff. Top of the line equipment.

03/08/2016

The best thing was the ease of the entire experience. The process was so easy and everyone was great. I wonder why I waited so long to have it done. Loved the result and La Jolla Comestic Surgery Center was great!

03/03/2016

I thought Dr. Wheeler was extremely professional and answered my questions without hesitation and compassion. I w would like another consultation to know if I can delete any of the suggested procedures and still have an excellent results. His nurse made me feel comfortable by her friendly manner.

02/12/2016

I couldn't do things I had done in the past for about two months, although all restrictions are now removed. Finding a comfortable sleep position is still an issue as I feel like I have novacaine surrounding my face, particularly my ears. I hope that ends soon, but it isn't harmful, just a nuisance. The outcome is better than I expected. I look a couple of decades younger than I am and people react to me accordingly.

02/04/2016

Chin Implant

I feel far more confident in my thinking of looking as youthful as I feel! Dr. Wheeler and Joline were so professional and answered all my questions,and tried to make my apprehension seem totally normal. Very happy with results, not too happy about the numbness!!! Did not expect this. Truly nocomplaints. Thank you for taking such good care of me Dr. W and Joline.By the way Joline I never received the gift certificate that you were going tomail. Have not have had a chance to call as you asked me too. Many thanks again.

01/14/2016

Thoroughness of surgeon and staff; friendliness of everyone in the office

01/12/2016

My doctor is the same one who performed my original surgery 28 years ago and I was completely comfortable with the office.

01/11/2016

everything was perfect

12/29/2015

Mommy Makeover

Dr. Wheeler was very kind taking in to consideration everything I had to say. He did the greatest job and I will recommend him to anyone and everyone, the outcome was perfect.

12/29/2015

The results were better then expected. Dr Wheeler was excellent with his bedside manner. He did an amazing job sculpting my breast to look natural. I wish I would have done this long ago. The best thing is the natural soft feel of my breast.

12/21/2015

Surgeon knowledge and kindness, took as much time with me as I needed. All staff is friendly and supportive.

11/23/2015

There were no real complications such as seromas or hematoma or unfortunate post-op interventions as I had experienced at other facilities. I felt Dr. Wheeler was highly skilled in his chosen area of expertise.

11/21/2015

The Doctor seems to know everything and is very honest as what to expect. He is kind and really listens. And the nurse is terrific.

11/14/2015

The professionalism

11/13/2015

I just complete my surgery with Dr. Wheeler. He is extremely thorough, pays attention to detail and has a great caring personality. But most importantly, he is a great plastic surgeon and his experience shows!

10/22/2015

Not that I wasn't satisfied, but with how my eyes and eyelids are shaped, Dr Wheeler suggested he has to do more work than I felt comfortable having done. I was hoping he could attain a subtle" change, but it doesn't appear that he can. If it can't be subtle, I'd prefer to do nothing.Thanks,"

10/16/2015

the initial experience with getting the line in my arm was uncomfortable otherwise it was satisfactory experience. Dr. Wheeler and staff are wonderful

09/24/2015

Dr.Wheeler & his staff were wonderful with my daughter!

09/10/2015

My surgeon is very skilled, but I was not completely satisfied with the outcome of the surgery. I have scarring and puckering which I did not expect.

08/07/2015

Good overall experience and good result.

08/06/2015

Dr Wheeler and the entire staff helped me to feel confident in the outcome of my procedure. The results were better than I could have imagined. The staff is both kind and professional. The facility is top notch. I'm grateful I chose Dr.Wheeler and the La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre.

07/22/2015

I was completely satisfied

07/16/2015

I was told the wrong time to show up for my surgery and had to wait over an hour to be seen.The anesthesia did not call me after my surgery the next day to hear how I was doing or feeling. At Dr. Wheeler's old office the anesthesia called me several time over the next couple of days to hear how I was doing or feeling. That made me feel more comfortable.

07/03/2015

The surgery staff was very attentive and patient with all of my questions and conserns with both pre op and postoperative appointments. Every time i leave the office i geel great and confident.

07/02/2015

Staff reassuring. Dr. Wheeler did a great job on my chin-where a prior doctor did not do such a swell job.

06/14/2015

ThermiTight

Scheduling was easy, my appointment was on time, I didn't wait too long, all my questions were answered.

05/22/2015

Everyone I encountered was both friendly and professional.

05/21/2015

Dr. Wheeler was wonderful. He, Jan and th nurse made sure that all my questions were answered.

04/09/2015

I put my trust in Dr. Wheeler and he was so sweet and understanding. He did not try to tell me that I needed more than I wanted, and was very understanding to my particular wants and needs for the results I wanted to achieve. His staff was very professional and extremely attentive to my calls and emails and post-op visits. I will highly recommend him to others.

04/09/2015

The materials provided about everything that I would expect for my surgery. Which is in four days.

04/08/2015

Dr. Wheeler and the staff were very helpful and informative. I had all of my questions answered. They have made things very convenient for me. I feel very comfortable with scheduling the surgery.

04/06/2015

I am sure it is me. No one has noticed my under eye bags are gone. So, I guess that is good because no one knows I had surgery which is a positive.

03/25/2015

I like the envoirememt, friendly staff, Doctor Wheeler and RN. Jolayne. I appreciate Dr. Wheeler and Jolayne, patience in educating me about some aspects of my future surgery. Mary was wonderful, she really helped to acomidate me on my schedule. Overal I will be coming back for more procedures( Breast Lift, Breast Reduction and Breast little augmentation.And I really really like, the flexible payments method. That's a plus.

03/16/2015

Dr. Wheeler is has done many procedures on me and I have always been very happy with the results. He is always available to answer any questions i have and is supportive during recovery. I recommend him to everyone I meet.

03/13/2015

Dr. Wheeler is knowledgeable, friendly and has fabulous bedside manners. He spends the time answering your questions and you don't feel as though he is rushing. This was my second breast augmentation performed by Dr. Wheeler (original was 11 years ago prior to having kids) and I came back because of the good experience and great results I received on the first. I have highly recommended Dr. Wheeler to my friends and family for the last 11 years and will continue to do so for the years to come!

03/12/2015

Dr. Wheeler performed a facelift on me nearly 20 years ago. I have been satisfied with the results. He is a dedicated and experienced plastic surgeon, whom I would trust to do another facelift should I decide to move forward with it.

02/24/2015

The staff and surgeon are very nice. And informative. I had a great experience! Can't wait to have my procedure done there.

01/15/2015

Eye Bags Treatment

Everyone was friendly and extremely positive. They empathized with my trepidation. Everyone had had SOME kind of procedure done, no matter the age. I felt we were all on the same team and everyone was rooting for me, the one currently 'up to bat!' And Dr. Wheeler sealed the deal by his caring and patient manner. I never felt rushed or stupid with my questions. He personally called me following the procedure! Unheard of. I would highly recommend the entire office.

01/14/2015

good information...very honest....very friendly....just not sure I am ready for the procedure

12/23/2014

Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia

The staff seemed to be sincerely interested and concerned about my entire experience with them. They were friendly, helpful, and very personable.

12/04/2014

I've known Dr. Wheeler for years now and have always been treated with respect. The one thing that impresses me the most about Dr. Wheeler is that he is the most honest man I've ever known. If you ask him his opinion about a procedure he will tell you weather you need it or not. I highly recommend Dr. Wheeler !!

11/22/2014

Dr. Wheeler did a beautiful job on my face lift . It looks very natural and I have received many compliments. My recovery was uneventful. Everyone involved in the surgery was very competent and respectful

11/14/2014

Professionalism, surgical skill, great staff.

11/14/2014

No problems after surgery. Good results.

11/13/2014

Dermapen

Ive been a patient for over 10 yrs. I've never had a bad experience

10/25/2014

Dr. Wheeler was highly recommended to me. His professionalism and expertise were evident and appreciated. The staff was also very professional and friendly.

10/23/2014

Dr wheeler is an outstanding surgeon and did a fantastic job. Also he is such a nice and caring man

10/09/2014

Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia

I look great!! Dr. Wheeler is kind, sensitive, listens and an excellent surgeon

08/29/2014

The surgeon is very conscientious about his work and does not and will not over due or go too far on any procedure. He will not try to sell you a procedure if he thinks it doesn't need any attention or work done.

08/27/2014

Skin Care

I was there to get a consult on a procedure that I had at another clinic. I did not really get information on other procedures/techniques to address my concerns regarding aging skin signs.

08/26/2014

Body Lift

Dr. Wheeler and his staff were very kind and professional. He made me feel comfortable and I did not feel invaded. That was my main concern...but I was OK with the evaluation.

08/14/2014

everyone on the staff were well versed in their responsibilities. All were friendly and professional and handled my needs with care. Dr. Wheeler was at all times personable and professional. He explained everything to me and in an easy manner to understand.

08/03/2014

My right eye droops, which it didn't do before surgery. The left eye doesn't close as it did. I'm constantly aware of my eyes.

07/31/2014

Dr. Wheeler did a good job for me years ago.The plastic surgeon who repaired my cut lip after my May 18 fall did not do a good enough job. It looks good enough, but eating and talking are uncomfortable, and I postponed dental hygiene to avoid stretching my mouth. I need a redo for comfort.

07/15/2014

The results are great. I look and feel so much better. People who I haven't seen in years have remarked on how good I look!

07/12/2014

The dr and staff were very professional.. I have had other services done and am always very satisfied with the entire process and final outcome

07/07/2014

All of the surgical staff seemed to really care about me and my experience and that was invaluable as far as building my confidence at a time when I was frightened.My perception was that in my initial contacts with the reception desk that person (s) did not seem to have the same degree of caring as did the surgical staff. Since that person is the first one to whom questions and concerns are addressed, they need to make a patient feel that they really care and not be impatient.

07/05/2014

Dr. Wheeler is absolutely amazing!! He is an artist and made sure I was comfortable and happy with the procedure.

07/03/2014

All the staff were extremely friendly and professional. Throughout the entire experience, I felt the care and kindness of the staff, surgeon and anesthesiologist. Have already highly recommended the office to friends and family.

07/03/2014

Life changing experience

07/03/2014

When calls were placed after hours for problems I was experiencing Dr. Wheeler quickly responded. He called me on regular intervals to check on my progress. I was seen in his office on a timely basis on several occasions for follow-up on post-op issues.

07/03/2014

The procedure turned out GREAT, and I always felt cared for by Dr. Wheeler and his staff. This wasn't my first procedure with him, and it won't be my last.

07/03/2014

I have been coming to this office for 20 years. i feel comfortable with the staff. I feel completely confident in my surgeon. I highly recommend him every chance I get.

07/03/2014

Dr Wheeler was very professional but very approachable as well. I can compare my facelift with others and it is so well done, it is difficult to see that any work was done at all. It is very natural.

07/02/2014

Dr Wheeler was kind and considerate as was his staff. They explained everything so well. I felt at ease. I still wonder why I waited so long as I feel so much better! I've recommended Dr. Wheeler to my friends. Thank you so much!

07/02/2014

Excellent experience! Everyone was friendly, listened well, and explained everything with clarity. Would have all future procedures with this doctor.

07/02/2014

Past procedure was very successful, in my opinion, I want to age gracefully, retaining my personal look without drastic changes. Dr. Wheeler understood those perimeters and fulfilled my expectations in the previous surgery (facelift) so trust has been established.

07/02/2014

Arm Lift

The entire staff and Doctor are all very professional. They are all kind and caring. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable

07/01/2014

Dr. Wheeler has a great bedside manner. He helped me feel comfortable and did not rush any appointment.

06/25/2014

Professional consultation and quite a bit of individualized detail about the procedure recommended. I felt I could trust this physician to artistically do the work I was interested in having done professionally.

06/25/2014

Professional in every aspect, from initial consultation to post op visits. PLUS, great results - no surprises! I highly recommend Dr. Wheeler and his staff to anybody considering any kind of cosmetic surgery.

06/24/2014

The surgical procedure and recovery time were far easier than I expected. My husband had to keep telling me to take it easy". I have had problems with nausea in the past after anesthesia, this was communicated before the surgery and I had no nausea. The real bonus was the result of the procedure itself, such a vast improvement in my looks, but still looking like myself."

06/24/2014

Not happy with one of the scars around my eyes.

06/23/2014

Dr. Wheeler was very informative, and very patient with all my questions,and concerns.

06/23/2014

I am so happy with my face lift results, Dr. Wheeler assured me I would look refeshed and natural and he was right on. His staff was also wonderful and very professional and supportive during my recovery. I was told what to expect after my surgery so I never had any concerns and remained very confident through the healing process. Thank you Dr. Wheeler you're the best!

06/23/2014

Dr. Wheeler offers suggestions but never tries to sellme services, (as a matter of fact, he talks me out of things I request, telling me to think about it in 5 or ten years). He is an artist. The staff is freindly and professional. I have never had a problem.

06/21/2014

I had a wonderful experience with the procedure and the staff. Very satisfied with the results.

06/21/2014

Dr. Wheeler is good at what he does. I do still have some lines under my eyes that I am concerned about.

06/20/2014

Dr. Wheeler was amazing! He did a fantastic job in my facelift and eyelid surgery. I could not be happier with the results. He is such a perfectionist with what he does and was willing to correct or make any additional touch-ups needed to have a great result. I have already sent two friends to Dr. Wheeler and both were just as pleased as I was with their results!

06/20/2014

I love Dr. Wheeler! Very patient and kind and explains things simply!

06/20/2014

I have always viewed surgery as a last resort. You have made me a believer. I had a breast reduction and mini tummy tuck. After an unlimited number of trips to the gym, careful dieting, spanx galore, nothing else, could have given me such wonderful results.

06/20/2014

All of the staff made me feel extremely comfortable prior to the procedure, during the procedure, and after the procedure. The level of care was excellent. The results were better than I even expected. I was completely impressed with my overall experience.

06/20/2014

Dr. Wheeler is a great doctor, as well as his team

06/20/2014

I was highly satisfied because of all of the above boxes checked. One thing Dr. Wheeler's office did not do that other practice's did was pressure me into the surgery or for payment. I also felt they were honest about what I needed without adding more procedures that were not necessary. The office was very organized, clean, and I never saw patients waiting in the waiting room. So happy I choose him over expensive LaJolla doctor's.

06/20/2014

Ear Surgery / Otoplasty

Professional staff, very courteous

06/19/2014

The quality of the care and the confidence I had in Dr. Wheelers skills.

06/19/2014

I was put t ease by the doctor and his staff. I had no insurance and the worked with me on the price. Surgical process was explained and performed with great results. Very happy with the outcome.

06/19/2014

I was very nervous about the procedure. It was removal of 30 yr old implants and a breast lift. I had exceptional care and was very pleased with Dr Wheeler and all of his staff. Everyone was extremely helpful and caring. The anesthesiologist was terrific and all OR staff. I was managed very well pre and post op. I would highly recommend Dr Wheeler to my friends. He's a terrific Dr.

06/19/2014

Skin Cancer Removal

Melanoma is a scary thing to encounter. The Dr. briefed me, conducted the surgical removal and briefed me regarding aftercare. The operation was successful and I have not been bothered since. I will, of course, continue to monitor the area.

06/19/2014

Dr. Wheeler listen to my needs and did what I wanted to have done. He did not suggest more things to do, so that he could make more money.

06/19/2014

All staff were very friendly and informative. Surgery outcome is great. I look younger and less worn out. Overall cost was lower than other offices I compared.

06/19/2014

Confidence with doctor and staff

06/19/2014

Dr Wheeler is a great surgeon and has great bed side manners.

06/19/2014

Every one from the doctor to the staff was very professional and every one was very nice. I had a wonderful experience. And yes I am going back. I would go no where else.

06/19/2014

Everyone in Dr. Wheeler's office (including Dr. Wheeler) is friendly, very professional and helpful. This is not my first procedure with him, and I have been VERY pleased with my results and with my interaction with him and his staff.

06/19/2014

Dr. Wheeler is a highly skilled surgeon who is able to carefully explain procedures and possible outcomes to patients. And, very importantly, he has a good eye" for making the outcomes look natural and not overdone. I highly recommend this surgeon and his team to anyone who wishes to have plastic or reconstructive surgery."

06/19/2014

Dr. Wheeler was very thorough in his explanation of the procedure and what could reasonably be the expected result. In addition he took the time to learn what I, the patient, hoped to achieve. Most importantly, he explained all the pros and cons. My final result far surpassed my expectations, and demonstrated what a highly skilled surgeon Dr. Wheeler really is. I still look like me, but so much better!Also, his entire staff always treated me with respect and the utmost consideration. It was a real pleasure dealing with them.

06/19/2014

Dr. Wheeler and his staff were very attentive thoughout the entire process. I am extremely happy with the surgical results and follow-ups provided by Dr. Wheeler.

06/19/2014

From previous experience with this doctor and his staff, I knew I would be very satisfied. And I was at this visit too.

06/19/2014

Excellent service and care provided by Dr. Wheeler and his staff as well as extremely satisfying results.

06/19/2014

I can't say enough about Dr Wheeler and his office.the time taken to offer explanations and answer questions, thoroughness in defining realistic expectations and recovery stages, and no pressure or sales pitch. Conduct and surroundings were professional and reflected high standards throughout the experience. The final outcome of surgery is a definite improvement making me look like someone lucky to have good genes and appear a few years younger than my age, but at the same time, look completely natural....just what I hoped for and requested.

06/19/2014

Surgery was as expected. Doctor was a good listener to my concerns. Did have an incision break open an hour afer the stitches were removed but doctor restitched it immediatly. Happy with my doctor and he has done many of these procedures. Would recommend him.

06/19/2014

Dr. Wheeler REMOVED my 'TURKEY NECK...I no longer LOOK in the mirror and FEEL like the cross between an OLD GOAT & A TURKEY....."

06/19/2014

Cyst Removal

Great outcome-
