Walter W Tom, MD FACS

I got my breast augmentation done by dr. Tom about three weeks ago I couldn’t be happier with the results they look great after looking around for awhile for the right doctor I came across dr. Tom, I was looking for a doctor who did breast augmentation under local anesthesia. I came from Illinois to get my procedure done, Dr. Tom is so caring and really takes time to get to know you and make you comfortable as can be. his staff is wonderful they are all so sweet expecially Sally who really help with everything along the way. If you are looking to get any procedure done look no further you will not find a better doctor than Dr Tom and a better caring staff, than at the laser and Vein Center they will take great care of you!

You won’t find a better and more competent doctor than Dr. Tom. I recently had some procedures done by him, and am totally pleased with the results. Recovery was quick, because he is a skilled surgeon, and that he does everything under local anesthetic.
Dr. Tom is smart, skillful, professional, personable, handsome and has a great sense of humor. There is no better choice for your aesthetic needs!

Great office. Wonderful staff. I originally had my very first Botox experience in 2006 at the Napa location with Kathy. She was great so when I decided to have Botox again, I went to Dr. Tom’s in Santa Rosa. I had Botox done by Mary who had the most pleasant bedside manner and did a great job! Last week I decided I wanted the Botox and fillers for my nasolabial folds and lips so of course I wanted to go back to Dr. Tom’s. I am not one who looks at Groupon for the best deal. Sometimes you get what you pay for. The new office location is beautiful! Love the sound of water outside the office; so soothing! Patty did my intake and was very kind and professional. And I was pleasantly surprised when I was told Mary would be doing my procedures! She did a great job. I had fillers in my lips done several years ago at another medical spa and it was so painful! Which is why I didn’t have this procedure done again for a very long time! Mary was kind, caring and I had almost zero discomfort! I love the results so far, but will be going back this week for some additional filler around the nasolabial folds and lips since, in my case, I need a bit more. I also wanted to take advantage of their buy one syringe get one ½ off good through the end of August. Great deal! I would highly recommend Dr. Tom to anyone! You won’t be disappointed.

After years plucking facial hairs I decided to get laser hair removal on my lip, chin and neck. I was very nervous. Noemi did my treatments. She is a caring, patient, professional gal. I highly recommend her.
I wish I would have done it sooner.

After interviewing several surgeons in the North Bay area, Dr. Tom and his staff stood out in warmth and sincerity. Local anesthesia has a great advantage over general anesthesia, with no after effects.
I am two months post-​op breast augmentation, could not be happier with the results.

Professional, courteous, confidential, safe, knowledgeable and highly skilled. As a nurse, I have always been cautious and leery about cosmetic procedures. With Dr. Tom and his excellent staff I felt safe and was extremely satisfied with the results. Have recommended to many and will continue to do so!

Love this place! Everyone that works here is so sweet especially «little Haley» she is a little doll and Dr. Tom is such a sweetie. Whatever the time day or night their always smiling and happy to see you! I’ve only had a few services so far loving everything! I’m Always happy to go to this office! Can’t wait to go back!

I met with Dr Tom last summer and was just amazed at how professional and nice Dr Tom and everyone in the office was.
I have had my first surgery with Dr. Tom last summer in Sept. I have been very pleased with my results so much so that I returned from Florida to have a tummy tuck. That was only 6 weeks ago. I feel great and the results are amazing. I can’t imagine going to anyone else.
I was treated with such respect and with real feeling of concern for my health and wellbeing. Everyone is now like a family to me.
My results from both surgeries are great I have not had any pain, or discomfort. I was a little nervous about the tummy tuck but what a breeze. I was not only awake but we all laughed and I was very much a part of s a truly great experience.
Dr. Tom and I discussed what I could expect and my results are even better than I expected. I am so thankful that I made the choice to have Dr Tom do my surgeries, best gift I ever gave myself.
Awesome from start to finish!!!

Excellent service went and got a fraxel treatment and felt relaxed and confident. Mary did a wonderful job! I was extremely happy with the staff– wonderful environment.

Amazing experience from beginning to end. You won’t find a more honest, sincere doctor or staff in this area! My surgery was pretty close to having a spa day. I was awake, not in pain, getting a head massage, listening to my preferred music, and eating a tootsie pop. I am so pleased with the results and have and will recommend Dr. Tom to anyone. My husband is an even happier man now. Thank you to the max.

If you are considering any kind of surgical or cosmetic procedure this is where you go. I had several consultations with other doctors in the area, across the united states and internationally. — since I am a flight attendant, location isn’t an obstacle for me.
Ultimately I chose Dr. Tom. After my consultation with him and meeting his staff, I was the most at ease and knew then, that this was where I would get my surgery.
I had my surgery in Jan. It went FLAWLESSLY! I am beyond happy and overly satisfied with my results! And doing it under local anesthetics was a breeze. There are too many benefits to count, by going that route. They let me take my time when Jinney was running my IV. They talked to me through the whole procedure, it was really more like having coffee with friends rather then a surgical procedure.
Yesterday I went in for a cosmetic procedure by Jinney. She is a miracle worker with those needles! And an artist just like Dr.Tom. The people in the office have made a lifelong patient out of me to say the least. I highly recommend for anyone doing their research, that they don’t waste anymore time, and just go straight in to Dr. Tom.

Dr. Tom is a gem! There was a bit of confusion about a scheduling issue and he took a personal interest in insuring that as a new patient I was accommodated. The laser nurse provided excellent client service that made me feel taken care of — and not afraid to ask questions.
Plus the prices are less expensive than Marin and San Francisco for similar procedures. And extremely serene surroundings. Definitely will return.

I tried the new Aesthetician, Jenna, yesterday. She gave me a hydration facial and the entire experience was soothing, relaxing and very rejuvenating. I would highly recommend her.

In January 2013, after breast feeding two children and the subsequent deflation that occurred, I decided it was time to have a breast augmentation done. I scheduled consultations with several surgeons in the north bay area, and after-​wards, my decision to trust this procedure to the hands of Dr. Tom and his awake breast augmentation procedure was an easy one. From a personal interaction standpoint, there is simply no comparison. Dr. Tom was there throughout the first meeting which lasted almost an hour, he personally took extensive measurements, explained the procedure in depth, and walked through all my options with me. My experience at other offices made me feel like I was simply another car on an assembly line, while Dr. Tom was there to attentively answer all my questions and spend the time to walk me through my options and in later days answer my phone calls, the other Doctors spent less than ten minutes of personal time with me and seemed completely disinterested in helping me through the process unless I was willing to make a deposit and schedule the procedure.
From a technical and artistic standpoint, I was very impressed with the results of Dr. Tom’s work that I was able to view when doing the consultation. Dr. Tom was able to show me dozens of before and after portfolios that show just how good he is at giving women the volume that they desire while at the same time respecting proportion and natural shape so that in many cases it appears as if no work was done at all. A very important consideration in choosing Dr. Tom to do my surgery was the knowledge of his extensive and prestigious background in life saving surgery in Sonoma County, I felt very comfortable putting myself in the hands of a man who is a very well respected vascular and transplant surgeon.
End result — my surgery went perfectly, I am beyond happy with what Dr. Tom was able to achieve for me, post surgery pain was very minimal as was swelling and bruising… most importantly I know that I got exactly what I wanted and the results actually exceeded expectations because Dr. Tom was so honest with his assessment of what my results would be.
Of course I cannot leave out my praises of the all the other people in Dr. Tom’s office that made this experience enjoyable, his office staff, nurses, and assistants are second to none and I greatly appreciate their attentiveness and care.
So absolutely happy with the results.

Went to Tom’s office to address varicose veins. He guaranteed two injection treatments would work. After getting a couple more opinions I was told injections would never remedy my prob. Needed vein ablation. secondly, patient charts with confidential medical condition AND names in plain view at front desk. When brought to attn of office staff, brushed off as no big deal. Thirdly, Inaccurate info on Obagi product use. I was happy with Botox and filler injection. Will never go back.

I can’t believe anyone would review such an AMAZING place with 1 star? The experience here is outstanding! From the time you call to set an appointment to the time you walk out the door! I love them all! I have been to different places when I lived in San Fransisco and Dr. Tom Walters Establishment is by far the BEST!!! You will not regret going here! The procedures I have had done (this girl doesn’t tell) have looked beautiful! Thank you for having such a tremendous business!!! Love you guys and will never go elsewhere no matter where I live! :)

I’ve Thermage, Restylane and facial fat grafting, all done at Dr. Tom’s office, at different times… I can only say I wish I’d done it all sooner! Dr. Tom is extremely dedicated to his profession and to his patients. He is not only a doctor, he is an artist. I easily looked 10 years younger after my procedures. I would do it all again if I had to. The self-​esteem and confidence I gained were added bonuses.
And kudos to Dr. Tom’s staff as well. They are all very professional, very personable, and very caring… just like their boss!

As a birthday gift to myself, I had smart lipo and mini tummy tuck this past August. I am so glad I did. Dr. Tom did a great job! A month or two after the surgery, I was a little disappointed because of how swollen I was. It seems like there was no difference but Dr. Tom assured me that it will subside and he was right, of course! :) It’s been 5 months since the surgery and I’m so happy with the result. It gets better everyday! My clothes fit nicer and I am able to wear my favorite jeans again! Thanks, Dr. Tom and staff! You guys are awesome!

I had smart lipo of the neck area done by Dr. Walter Tom.
Unfortunately I can’t recommend it. In a nutshell, it left me somewhat concave on the side, and with a new jowl. The jowl is due to the fact that you can’t use a laser near the nerve that hits the jawline just down from the corners of the mouth. You CAN use regular lipo with the nerve area, but not smart lipo.
I’ve had two rockin professionals look at the job (Jeffrey Epstein and dermatologist Diana Parnell) and tell me that lipo would have done a far better job and fixed the issues that are present currently. They remained unimpressed with the work.
Look, it’s expensive and if you’re going to get it done don’t let the lure of «ease» and «comfort» with «smart» lipo fool you.
In fact, you might want to look into a combination of jawline lift and regular lipo together. That’s what I would have done in retrospect.
If cost is an issue look into the superb clinics in Thailand, Czech, and Costa Rica where you can get what you want done at a fraction of the cost here in the US.
I will say that Dr. Tom’s facilities and care are superb and beyond reproach. The work I had hoped for and was promised just didn’t get done.

This man is an artist. If you could see my before and after pictures, you’d call him immediately. I had lipo of the abdomen. Dr. Tom then injected some of my own fat into my face, mostly in the cheeks but some above the eyebrow, the lines down from the corners of my mouth, and a bit in the lower lip. In 2 days, I thought I had made a mistake. I was sooo swollen! I would do it again (except I don’t need it now!). I look at least 10 years younger,
P. S. — They offer finance plans.
