Brian Evans, MD

I’ve had two great experiences with Dr. Evans! He listened to my concerns and was very generous with the pricing. I’m looking at going back a third time for a new procedure. I can’t believe two stars. I know his wife hates him because of an ugly divorce. I even got an email from her that disparaged him. She is a ding bat and works hard at hurting his reputation and stealing his clients. Either way, I’m going back to him a 3^rd time. Any negative reviews of this man MUST be from her. Just my thoughts. I literally had to email her and ask her to stop sending me negative emails. I’m like. bitch you crazy.

Excellent cosmetic physician! I have have had several procedures performed by him over the past decade & he is a master at his craft! I wouldn’t let anyone else touch me. I have had other consultations with other physicians, but they all fell short of my expectations! Cosmetic surgery is an investment in yourself, it’s not wise to seek out a discount! You only get one body: Dr. Evans can make it beautiful!

Dr. Evans is such an AWESOME doctor. Always very attentive, listens to all of my concerns, and gives me options and/​or alternatives. Great experience all the time.

I had a mini face and neck lift on February 1, 2013 with Dr. Brian Evans. My husband knew his office manager, Suzie, and so I trusted her recommendation. The surgery was far more complicated and painful than I was led to believe. Two months later I was still having tremendous ear pain and went to an ENT for a consultation. He found a wad of dripping, bloody infected cotton that Dr. Evans had left in my ear canal for 2 months during the surgery! It was quite infected. The ear in question is still numb and bothering me 17 months later. I have requested my records twice to no avail, which another plastic surgeon has assured me is reportable. The office address I have is closed and the phone number disconnected. I want to have another surgeon fix this mess but he won’t proceed without records. Dr. Evans is completely unresponsive. If I were litigious, attorneys tell me that I could sue, but honestly I just want to warn others. He is probably a competent surgery, but is obviously going through a bad time in his personal life.

Ok, so most of the reviews I’m reading today (12÷23÷13) are after the April 7 date on which I purchased a Groupon for Lipo from this place. Yes. I broke down and purchased an opportunity to get some fat sucked from my batwing arms! Except that I’m not always the person who buys a Groupon/​Living Social and uses it immediately… and this one had to sit around awhile. So today, realizing it expires in 10 days and wanting to use the full Groupon value instead of just what I paid for it, I call the office to see if there’s any shot in high heaven to get a consult appointment today… but the telephone number’s been disconnected… WHAT? So I go to my trusty steed computer, and visit the website — only an 877 number is listed… call that, and wouldn’t you know, disconnected also! WTF? Well, next I move on to Unilocal,to see if there are any Unilocalers having issues… Bingo! Seems the Doc disappeared. Thank Goodness Groupon has policies about this, because they became the next phone call, and my account is being credited. It was a shame to have read so many negative reviews… but that is the beauty of Unilocal — helping you to not get completely scammed! Thank you fellow Unilocalers!

This place is awful. First of all, I purchased laser hair removal from them and I don’t think it helped at all. Such a waste of money and time. Also, every time I would book an appointment, they would reschedule it. Lastly, I still have two more sessions to go but it seems as though they’ve dropped off the face of the planet because I haven’t been able to get a hold of them since August 8^th. What the heck?

I agree with all the previous reviews!!! I was given a groupon as a gift for my hair removal and I as well keep getting my appointments rescheduled. And now to top it off they have moved and their number is currently disconnected!!! I still had 3 more session to go, but I have no desire to continue getting treatments from these people with no results!!!

I agree with the previous Unilocalers on this place! It really does take a lot for me to want to write a bad review on a place since I know it affects their business, but I don’t want anyone else to get this kind of treatment!
I went here for a brazilian hair removal and have had a very unsatisfying experience! I got rescheduled every single time I’ve made an appointment. I even asked them why they keep on rescheduling, and I was told the the laser machine needed to be fixed several times. No wonder I’ve had bad results!
Secondly, I got switched to 3 different technicians while doing 6 sessions, each with their own techniques, which adds even more to the inconsistency.. Unhappy with the results, I even spoke to Dr. Evans himself, but he was in a rush and didn’t really address any specific concerns that I had and assured me that the intensity of the laser during my sessions were good. While talking, he himself agreed that consistency with the sessions were critical in obtaining good results, nevertheless the office continued to reschedule me.
Thirdly, in the first 3 sessions with the office, the staff was horribly unprofessional. The technician moved me around the office multiple times from room to room, just because she wanted to take other patients in first. I am a fairly patient person, I don’t mind being moved once or twice, but I was literally bottomless and I was moving around the office with just a paper cover up. And this happened multiple times! The front receptionist even sat me in the room once, told me to get undressed, came in again without knocking, and then didn’t even close the door when she left, I was naked for god’s sake. Later on I got a different technician named Talia, and she was well-​mannered, and I do like her better, although the inconsistency of the appointments continued.
The office itself is clean… however, the staff needs to be organized. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this place if you really want quality service and good results.

Thank you Dr. Evans for helping me get to my goals, I am so greatful for my outcome, I feel so good putting on my jeans again. I feel good abut my self again I just needed to get rid of thoes love handles and abdomen liposuction works wonders. Thank you to the staff for helping through the process I was very nervous about moving forward and now I am ready to enjoy the rest of summer!

Update. I finally went to Sono Bello after seeing so many great reviews online and had a smart lipo on my arms. It has now been 6 weeks since the procedure and my arms look so slim and amazing! No skin hanging and the difference is huge! The swelling isn’t even all gone yet and my arms look wonderful and so much thinner! Point proven without a doubt. Dr. Brian Evans is not somewhere I would ever go near.

I hate to leave such a horrible review, but Dr. Evans’ office is truly a joke.
Thank god I only purchased laser hair removal sessions, and not a more life-​altering plastic surgery procedure, because after my experience with this office, I would never trust this doctor to make changes to my face or body.
If you read all the terrible reviews here and still want to schedule an appointment, don’t worry about picking a day or time that works with your schedule, because I can virtually guarantee that they will call you the day before your appointment to reschedule (really? I’m so glad I moved my work schedule around for my now-​cancelled appointment). If this was a one-​time thing, it would be no big deal — things happen. But they have literally rescheduled every single appointment — some appointments have even been double rescheduled — are you freaking kidding me?
The laser technician is sloppy and doesn’t seem to know anything — she won’t even clean the gel off when she’s done — you’ll be lucky if she gives you a towel to clean yourself off, before she leaves the room — and when she leaves the room, she won’t bother to check that your naughty bits are covered before flinging the door wide open (I’m no prude, but I don’t need complete strangers seeing me naked…)
I’m also convinced Dr. Evans’ office is using a crappy, non-​functioning laser, because I’ve noticed practically no difference in the amount of hair in the area being lasered… and I’m literally the perfect candidate for laser hair removal — very light skin, with very dark hair — and I’ve had laser hair removal before, with very good results.
Trust me, just stay away from Dr. Brian Evans’ joke of a plastic surgery practice.

Dealing with Dr. Evans was the worst experience of my life.
BELOW IS THE FORMAL COMPLAINT I FILED ON JUNE 19, 2013 AGAINST DR. BRIAN EVANS WITH THE MEDICAL BOARD OF CALIFORNIA
«On May 9, 2013 I met Dr. Brian Evans in anticipation of getting a face lift. After our consultation he scheduled the procedure for May 29, 2013. Dr. Evans required payment in full to be made before the work was to be performed. Using my Master Card, I made my first installment of $ 12,500 on May 16^th and my second installment of $ 10,000 on May 25^th.
To my surprise, Dr. Evans telephoned me late in the afternoon the very day before the procedure was scheduled, and asked me to reschedule. Since I had already hired a nurse to take me to and from the hospital, and also stay in my home during my anticipated recovery period of 4 to 5 days, not to mention the fact that I had already rearranged my business and personal commitments, I felt that calling me literally 18 housr before the procedure was scheduled was cavalier, unprofessional, and incondiderate. So, after a long telephone conversation with Dr. Evans, we agreed that I would find another doctor to do the work… one that I could depend on.
At that time Dr. Evans agreed to immediately credit my Master Card for the $ 22,500 that I had previously paid him. However, even after NUMEROUS emails and telephone calls to him personally and also to his office staff, he has failed to issue full credit. To date, on June 3^rd I received a credit of $ 12,500, leaving an unpaid balance of $ 10,000, which has been owed to me for nearly 3 weeks. While Dr. Evans has assured me he will request the credit, he has failed to do so.»
Today is June 24, 2013. In speaking with the folks at Master Card, I was again informed that Dr. Evans has yet to apply the $ 10,000 credit to my account.
Certainly, you are free to judge the actions of Dr. Evans for yourslef. However, in my opinion, if you are reading this because you are looking to choose a professional to operate on your behalf, I would say… KEEP LOOKING.

It’s true they forget about appointments, their lasers almost always break down, and then they often move/​bump appointments. Their technicians are nice, but I feel like for brazilian lasering, they’re not as thorough as other body areas. :/​I wouldn’t come back after the third time of feeling like this but it’s because of this groupon, I feel the need to complete it.

Same situation happened to me: they keep canceling my appointments saying that «the machine laser has broken» and never call back to reschedule it. When I call to reschedule, they only do so for 4 – 5 weeks later, meaning that it takes more than 2 months to do each treatment… there is really something going on in this place, and it is NOT good. Stay away from this place!

Bought a groupon for laser hair removal. Had one session. All other sessions have been cancelled. They reschedule the appointment only to cancel again. Feel like I’ve been scammed with this place.

I hate coming here because the wait iis always 1 – 2.5 hours, even when youre ln time or once I tried coming early and same thing. They’re always understaffed or some other excuse. I came in for laser hair removal on my arms and the lady lasered my clearly visible tattoo! Not just like she was close and it hit but she went right over it! The next time I warned her and mentioned that shed gone over it (I have scars now and need a touch up) and she said shed be more careful, I showed here where it was then as she starts up a minute later she’s forgotten where it is! The big plus is the receptionist who’s always nice and tries to accommodate. I’d give this place 0 stars if it weren’t for her.
