Robert M Kachenmeister, MD

Absolutely one of the best! Bedside manner, honesty, skill and integrity. I have had nothing but the best experiences during my pre and post procedure care with Dr. K. I am in the healthcare field also and expect and insist on excellence. Dr. K is the best. I had Active FX resurfacing and love the results.

Today has been a rough day all around! We got a call from the school nurse that our son had slipped and fallen down the stairs on the school playground, and cut open his lip.
She said we needed to come pick him up and take him to the Dr ASAP, she thought he needed stitches. We rushed from work to school to pick him up, and saw his laceration– his tooth had gone thru his lip! The nurse recommended we go to the ER since they had a plastic surgeon they could call in. It was 4:30pm at this time, and in a panic we called a local high rated plastic surgeon to see what he recommended, as we wanted to avoid the ER at all lengths, as they can put kids under for this.
In the school parking lot we called Dr Kim and he asked to facetime us, and took a look at My sons lip, and even though he was closing in 10 min, he said to bring him in and he would check it for
If you ever need a surgeon last minute who goes above and beyond, can’t recommend Dr. Kim in mission viejo enough!!! He is amazing! Our son ended up getting 4 stitches and had a minor muscle tearing, which Dr. Kim fixed. And he was closing, and didn’t have to help us. If not for him, we would be in the ER still, probably waiting to be seen from someone who couldn’t do what he did. Feeling so lucky and blessed my boy is doing so well!
Thank you Dr. Kim!

I had a consult with Dr Kachenmeister a while ago for a possible breast reduction. Unfortunately because of insurance issues and some other things unrelated to him as a doctor, I didn’t end up with him as my surgeon. However, I would have NO hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who is looking for a surgeon. He was incredibly warm, kind, helpful, professional, and I loved that he thought outside the box and came up with some possible solutions to my condition that I hadn’t even thought of. He took all the time I needed and made me feel extremely relaxed and comfortable with him on a personal level and with his professional skills. Definitely highly recommend.

Very nice person. I went to Dr. K for a consult about a keloid and I wasn’t charged. Since I told him I had Kaiser insurance, he told me I could actually see a Kaiser Plastic surgeon to get some steriod shots for a lot cheaper than his office. He told me he would love to treat me but if I could save some money, why not? Wow. I was so happy for the advice he gave me.
I also like that he was more on the conservative side. I had previously seen an ENT (Ears, nose, throat) specialist and he said he wanted to cut the keloid off right away. Dr. K said why not try the steriod shots first before another surgery which could potentially end with a bigger problem than what I have now.
I don’t know if Kaiser will be able to help me or not but if not, I would definitely go back to Dr. K to help me solve this annoying problem.

Absolutely top notch plastic surgeon! I had some fat grafting done along with a procedure to reduce the «parenthesis» on either side of my mouth. Dr. Kachenmeister is easy to talk to and is really attentive to my concerns. Karen, his assistant is wonderful as well. She is kind and understanding. The entire office staff is easily approachable. As for the results of my procedure? Fantastic! I couldn’t be happier. It has taken years off of my face but in a subtle way. The only comment I have heard from friends is that I look great, like I’d just gotten back from vacation. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kachenmeiser for any cosmetic surgery needs.

I love the whole staff. Dr. K is great. I was not sure what was going on with my skin and needed someone to help to figure out why it was changing so fast. He took a very conservative approach and I love the results. I went to two other offices and I cant tell you how glad I am that I chose Dr. K. Dr. K. puts his patients ahead of his pocket book. That is very rare in this area. I highly recommend that if you have decided to do something, get a second opinion from Dr. K. before you do something you may regret.

Hands down the best plastic surgeon there is. Dr. K genuinely cares about his patients and their well being. He was the only surgeon that didn’t recommend I get other procedures as well as a breast reduction. Dr. K did my breast reduction at the end September. Recovery has been great. He’s very attentive and always makes time to answer any questions and see me to make sure things are progressing. He’s an out of the box thinker. His staff is pretty amazing too. Karen is an angel. She listens, she cares and she wants what’s best for you. I feel like I’m visiting friends whenever I see them. You’re wasting your time if you’re looking elsewhere for a surgeon. YOU MUST SEE DR. K.

I went to Dr. K about 3 years ago for a breast reduction and lift. He did absolutely amazing job barely any brusing and the recovery time was very short. I do have a high level of pain tolerance but I didn’t even need any pain meds. My scars are barely even noticeable. I went to 5 different consults before I chose him, he made me feel the most confident in my results and his bedside manner is A+. Since my surgery, I have gone to him for Botox, he did a great job I didn’t even feel anything I have gone to other people for Botox and all the other doctors hurt when they did it. He is so gentle with injectables and careful your in and out in no time. Also anytime I had an appointment I never had to wait they take you in the room immediately and within 5 min he comes into room. He is amazing highly recommend him!!!

Dr. K did my upper lids and I am so pleased with the results! I had very little bruising after and returned to work four days later, using just my regular make up. He did a fabulous job! He and is staff are so friendly and really care about your wellbeing. They are also very informative, which really means a lot to me. Dr. K has the best bedside manner, you will just love him and his wonderful surgical skills. I totally recommend him as a plastic surgeon. I will definitely use him again. Thanks Dr. K and Staff!!!

As a nurse for over 25 years, I have seen many procedures and worked with several surgeons. I highly recommend Plastic Surgery Associates (PSA) to provide excellent surgical and procedural outcomes. The office team members are sincere, knowledgeable, and comforting. I personally experienced Dr. Kachenmeister’s phenomenal surgical skills and talents during an emergency situation. My recovery and healing process was guided through his care and genuine interest in quality results. I am thoroughly impressed and send those I care about to PSA, because I know they will be in great hands!

Dr. Kachenmeister is an amazing plastic surgeon! Always friendly and listens to your wants and concerns. Very informative and caring. I originally consulted with 3 surgeons before choosing Dr. K. He did a great job with my breast augmentation. Skip ahead 12yrs and two kids later, I went back to him without hesitation to have my breasts re-​done. I’ve had girlfriends who loved my results and have also used Dr. K and had nothing but positive things to say about their experience. Before deciding on your surgeon I highly recommend your check out Dr. Kachenmeister.

Been to Dr. K a few times. Had some minor cosmetic «stuff» done. 1. Bedside manner A+++ 2. On time and detailed A+++
I would highly recommend getting a consult with Dr. K before making your final decision.

My experience with Dr Kachenmeister and his staff was amazing! I researched quite a few surgeons prior to making my decision and I knew without a doubt I had made the right choice. He is personable and professional and answered all of my questions and concerns courteously, never making me feel silly for any question I asked. Above all the customer service I received post surgery exceeded my expectations! Dr Kachenmeister and his staff were always available via phone or text. My best lift/​reduction looks phenomenal. I could not be happier with my choice and my results.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kachenmeister for over 12 years. Aging is inevitable, but with his expertise, he has lifted the sagging breasts, eyelids, and jowls. From breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, Botox (my favorite) and juvaderm, he has always had me in his best interest. He is exceptional and very caring. His office staff is helpful, knowledgeable and happy. Do not hesitate making an appt. with Dr. K.

Love this guy! Went in for consult and when it comes time to get my breasts redone he is the one I will go to! Super nice and professional.

Dr. K is the most amazing Dr I have ever met. He has performed many procedures on me and exceeded my expectations. He is and his staff is so caring. Even when I was going through the hardest time in my life caring for my dad, he was the smiling face in the emergency room at Mission Hospital. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a little something done or a whole new body.

After having my second child I have thought about having a breast lift and augmentation and saw a few doctors in Newport Beach for a consultation but it wasn’t the right time nor did I feel entirely comfortable about it. Fast forward several years ahead and now with a third child I knew this was something I wanted to have and was much more serious about the search.
Again, I met with several doctors locally and even met with other doctor (s) out of state. I was beginning to lose hope as I still could not identify a doctor who I could trust, staff that I felt comfortable with and I needed a doctor who was not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also kind, caring, respectful and patient.
My prayers were answered indeed when I met with Dr. K! From the beginning of our first interactions to every phone call, pre & post operative appointment, etc., I have been completely happy and at peace. It has been several months since my procedure and I am very happy and satisfied and I owe that to his care and skill set.
It was such a huge decision to have the surgery as it affects so much in your life (taking time off, getting help with the kids, recovery period, etc.,) and it is an investment but choosing Dr. K was the best decision I made and I don’t regret it for a moment. I highly recommend others to see him and find out for themselves. You will be in for a pleasant surprise! Thank you Dr. K and the sweet ladies at the office for making me feel like family! I am thrilled with the results.

Dr. K. is by far one of Orange County’s top doctors. Whether you are interested in a little Botox, filler or going for something more complicated, Dr. K is the one to go see. What is so great about Dr. K is that he doesn’t make you look unnatural and if he thinks you don’t need something he will tell you. He truly makes his patients his number one priority. I appreciate the he will do a little bit here and there to stave off the years, but I always look like me. His bedside manner is almost indescribable. He is the most gentle, kind and humble doctor I have ever met and feel so lucky that I am his patient. As a board certified plastic surgeon he knows exactly what to do to achieve the results you are looking for. I trust him completely and plan on aging gracefully with a little help from Dr. K.

Dr. K is such a sweet man. Came in to see about having a scar revised that I’ve always hated. He was honest with me and said that a surgical procedure might not help (might actually make it worse, which I already expected to hear). Made a plan of action for me, writing a prescription for a strong hydroquinone cream to help with pigmentation, and recommended referring me to a laser specialist if that didn’t work. All free of charge! Super personable and honest, so glad I came to see him.

Dr. Kachenmeister took out a dermoid above my 10 month old son’s eye. He did a fantastic job and was very attentive and helpful. The surgery went great and doc made himself available for any questions or concerns we had after the fact.
Bottom line is if you are going to trust someone with your children, he’s the guy.
