Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery

I got a breast augmentation a week ago and I love them! The staff was very friendly. The building was very nice and clean. There was a lab in the same building. They were very accommodating to my needs. I came from out of town and they made everything as convenient as possible. And most importantly, i love my boobies! I was very particular and asked lots of questions, showed lots of pictures, and I got pretty quick responses from the staff and the doctor himself. I’m sure I wasn’t the easiest patient either. I’m about 100 lbs, 5’4 and started with nothing and now a C/​D and it looks pretty natural! There was very minimal pain, recovery has been good and I couldn’t be happier with my new look! Also the price was fair and the staff told me about my finance options and helped me decide on a payment plan that was right for me. For breast augmentation i would recommend this place to anyone. love love love LOVE my new look!

Was not pleased. You are better off somewhere else trust me!

I am not a patient. I have had a consultation with Dr. Krieger for a breast augmentation and it was good. The consult was complimentary. The office is very presentable. He answers all your questions, gives honest feedback, gives you a tour of the office, gets you familiar with the process the day of surgery, really cares about his patients, and tries to go for the most natural look. The office staff is VERY friendly and warm which is important to me and even better, they have competitive pricing!
One problem was that they held a deadline of 11 days from my consult over my head to lock in the price which I didn’t appreciate. Not to mention that I live over an hour away, I was in the middle of jury duty, and working a full time job and even though this was brought to the attention of the financial advisor, it didn’t allow me any additional time to make up my mind. I did, however, appreciate that the communication post consultation was very timely whenever I had a question. I think had I lived closer and was given a little more time, I would have gone with Doctor Krieger.
If you want a customer for life, deadlines are not friendly, they look a little desperate.

This surgeon is a nightmare.
I can’t believe I ever trusted Dr. Kreiger to perform surgery on me. For my first post-​op appointment I walked into a rumble at the office with a Hispanic woman yelling and convincing me not to get work done by him because after he does his surgery, and takes your money, he will neglect you as a patient. At first, I thought this woman was crazy so I ignored her. Turns out, she couldn’t have been more on point.
I went in for a breast lift and he left me with horrible keloid scars, not to mention, my breasts look as though two different people sewed me up. My right areola is noticably larger than the left, and he placed them so high, that my bras will not cover them up!
I have the pictures to prove it, and if anyone doubts this review, you may personally message me and I have no problem showing you the photos. I would like to save anyone from wasting their time and money on this joker who calls himself a surgeon.
He cannot handle questions or concerns professionally, instead he takes them as personal accusations, so his technique is to kick his patients out of the office, and THREATEN to call the cops on you if you attempt to show up. Mind you, I had my breast lift surgery done mid April, and got a long way to go to heal. He will not accept my calls, or reschedule the first post op appointment he kicked me out of and did NOT complete. He has recently forwarded a letter to me stating «patient/​physician relationship is terminated» What a joke!
Unprofessional and disappointing. I regret the day I walked into his office.
Choose wisely, especially when it comes to cosmetic surgery.

Hi Anne,
Thank you for your timely response. I did in fact have a consultation with Dr. Krieger and I have the paperwork to prove it. Photos were taken with his personal IPHONE DURING the consultation and were to be sent to my insurance company to have the procedure covered under my plan. I’ve never heard of any doctor waiting until the DAY OF SURGERY to take photos for the first time. BUT I’m happy to learn he upgraded to a big boy camera; it for sure lessens the creep factor… slightly.
Again, I appreciate the sense of urgency in resolving the matter a year and a half later, the professionalism throughout office shines bright !!

Dr Kreiger and his staff are amazing. They treated me and made me extremely happy. I would recommend anyone to his office. He listens and makes sure you are happy before leaving his office. I trust him and his staff is always welcoming. It was a great experience.

When it comes to cosmetic surgery; skill, bedside manners, and experience in its entirity, this is the best office! I went in for a consultation and saw Dr. Krieger with in 15 min. Everything went smoothly and all my questions were answered. I am going in for a procedure after the new year and I can say for someone who HATES surgery, I couldn’t be more comfortable with going to this office.
As to why Dr. Krieger doen’t have five stars I do not know. I will say though after reading a lot of the negative reviews, a lot of the negative reviews seem to have extenuating circumstances and although there may be legitimate complaints, I would highly reccomend that all the reviews (good and less positive) be put into perspective. Dr. Krieger is the best in the business and he has been in the business for a long time. There would be no way for him to be so successful if all the negative reviews held a lot of water.
Just read all the views with as objective a mind as you can.

If you are NOT rich and famous think twice about getting any work done at Rodeo Drive. I am stunned to see that on the bad reviews left for this office they actually have the nerve to say that it hasn’t been one of their patients. Geez! I can already see that reply on mine after I post this. It’s weird that the performing surgeon is dr. krieger yet when I paid a portion of my procedure with care credit, on the receipt it says «Dr.Dannaker» FISHY!!! Don’t do the same mistake I did! When I first called I mentioned that I was a size 4 wanting to be a size 2 my main concern was my stubborn belly fat and wanted to have liposuction but my budget was $ 6000. Loly the receptionist had mentioned to me that she was working on having Dr. Krieger lower his prices for the «community». When I went for a consultation, Dr. Krieger agreed that same day to do my liposuction for $ 6000.“How Wonderful”, I thought, «a plastic surgeon on Rodeo Drive who’s willing to work with me financially!!» I wouldn’t be making a bad choice to get work done by a surgeon on Rodeo Drive. I was wrong! Do Not judge a surgeon based on the location. it has now been 3 months since my liposuction surgery and I have seen a minimal difference than before. When I went to my first post surgery check up a month later I told him I hadn’t seen a difference he said I looked great that I was healing good but that I was swollen to give it a little more time. OK i thought he’s probably right. I have now gone for my second post surgery check up after 3 months that I had the surgery. I told him I wasn’t happy with the results I have not seen much difference, he says it can take up a whole year that I may still be a little swollen but he was going to send me my before and after pictures so i can compare. Geez! How much longer is he going to be using the same excuse? Photos can easily be photoshopped nowadays. I know my body perfectly well! I still have the stubborn fat in my belly. My belief is, since he didnt charge me the full amount he usually charges, I got what I paid for; a mediocre job! He took a little fat here and there so I could have some bruising and actually think he did something. Unfotunately I do not have the funds to hire a lawyer and sue him so there goes $ 6000 down the drain.

I want to thank Rodeo Drive for finally commenting and improving a business practice that I found undesirable, even if it’s just for the last two weeks before summer ends. While it’s true that I never did see the doctor, was never evaluated, and wasn’t there for «large volume liposuction», I was there to learn about their services and receive a consultation. I definitely was not prepared to pay a consultation fee. Lesson: always ask if there is a consultation fee before seeking a consult with any doctor for any service. It will save you months of defending yourself on your Unilocal review.

I was bitten by pit bull to my face, amd after having extensive reconstructive surgery by one of the country’s top plastic surgeon decided to get second opinion of minor cosmetic procedures I might have to have in the future. After scheduling for free consult, I’m getting the email that they are canceling my appt until my lawyer pay them $ 450.
No explanation was given why my attorney had to be involved when I was just seeking medical advise.
Looks like this guys can’t pay their rent. No wonder! They should change the name from Rodeo drive doctor to «body shop at rodeo drive» .
Before scheduling my appt u should’ve check them on Unilocal,and I think two stars is way to much!

Being a perfectionist in a non-​perfect world proves to be difficult when searching for the perfect doctor for any cosmetic procedure. During my search, I walked through numerous consultations from a variety of areas including Newport Beach and Costa Rica. Each consultation I received did not satisfy my instinct. I was uncomfortable and unimpressed with the professional opinions regarding the breast augmentation procedure. I found Dr. Krieger online and within the first consultation I immediately knew he was the one to perform this surgery. His taste was exactly what I wanted agreeing with everything I was aiming to do and imputing much needed suggestions. I am extremely happy with the results. The size is perfect for my body meeting every objective of subtlety and elegance. I would recommend Dr. Krieger to anyone interested in a satisfactory result. Not to mention the staff is superb in terms of customer service and achieving a comfortable and relaxing environment inside the office and out. Thank you Dr. Krieger and Staff!

I went to Dr. Krieger for Botox and to talk about doing possible future procedures and I can’t recommend him highly enough. The office space is beautiful and I was greeted courteously and professionally by someone from his team in the lobby. The whole atmosphere is relaxed, soothing, simple, modern & upscale.
Dr. Krieger was amazing. He swore my «issues» (my word) weren’t «issues» yet, but very kindly indulged me in pricing out a procedure we both knew I couldn’t yet afford. What I could afford was Botox, so, we did that. My forehead and frown lines smoothed out within days. Then, a week or so later, the office called me to make sure I was happy with my new look and my experience in the office. It really doesn’t get better than that!
I highly recommend this office. :)

I will be wearing a coral and turqouise bikini and im getting awwws at work and im still recovering after 16 days but i have verry little bruising left in my inner thighs but im still swollen it looks awesome though im still curvy but much thinner visually my stomach is gona i hated it now even when im full it flatter. My hips & ass are JLO

Krieger is a Bad man and he almost killed me. I was in the hospital for a month. Another Real Dr. Saved my life, if you want to see picture of what he did they will be posted soon.

Friendly, honest and natural!!!
FRIENDLY: From the receptionist greeting me to the doctor’s care I’ve always felt comfortable walking into the office. I can depend that I will always get opinions that are …
HONEST: I’ve gone in asking for more than what I actually needed and was given advice against it. I ended up getting just the right amount which leads me to looking…
NATURAL: I can always rely that I will walk out of there looking younger and softer. No freeze frame face!!!

I went to Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery in August for some Juvederm filler in my cheeks. It was my first time trying plastic surgery, so I was quite impressionable. I was recommended to Dr. Dannacker as the facial guru of the office so I set an appointment.
Dr. Dannacker injected the filler under my eyes on both sides of my face, and told me to give it 3 days for the filler to soften. The right side of my face softened the next day & REALLY looked good… I was very pleased. So I thought the left side of my face just needed some additional time to soften as well. Well, that never happened. It remained hard & lumpy under my left eye. When I called & informed the office of this, Dr. Dannacker told the receptionist to tell me to give it 2 weeks, which I did. Still NO movement. When I contacted the office again, he said to give it 4 – 6 months!!! WHAT!!! I insisted on seeing him again & went back to the office a month later. Dr. Dannacker gave me 15 minutes spiel of medical mumbo-​jumbo trying to explain why I had a loop-​sided face. He said it looked fine and basically made me feel like it was all in my head. I wanted a resolution so, he recommended a «dissolvent» to reduce the left side of my face to make to look more uniform with the right side. I, trusting his medical expertise, unfortunately agreed to this. I say «unfortunately agreed» because of what happened next…
The «dissolvent» actually paralyzed my face from under my eye down to my lip! Like he injected Botox in my face or something! My co-​workers thought I had had a mild stroke when I went back to work the next week! The left side of my face droops when I smile, so I try not to smile anymore at all! It’s awful looking!
Well, this was Oct. 3^rd, 2011 and it is now Nov. 18^th, and my face is still paralyze on the left side. Dr. Dannacker advised me to do facial exercises for it… Yeah right.
Dr. Dannacker did not open ANY of the products he used in front me, so God only knows what he put into my face. I do not recommend this place or doctor in the least as I now must go to another doctor, pay more money, to have them fix what he has done. Unfortunately, I did not read any reviews on this business as I usually do because I would not have gone to this place. Please don’t let the fancy address fool you!

The most horrific experience of my entire life. Please do not go to Dr. Kreiger. I had liposuction of both of my thighs about 7 years ago and my legs are absolutely ruined. They look like a butcher carved out a huge chunk of meat on each side — I would be able to live with a bit uneven surface but if you saw what he did to me you’d say that he should never be able to practice medicine again. I went to multiple plastic surgeons after the botched liposuction and they all said that the damage was beyond repair.
Absolutely Horrifying Experience! Please be very cautious.
