The La Jolla Institute of Plastic Surgery

Came here as a referral from 2 friends who were very satisfied with their results, and I too am Incredibly happy with the entire process and my results. From intake to post-op, Dr. Pietraszek and Tracy took care of me and my needs. They are diligent and considerate with their patients providing realistic expectations. For surgery, they work with the best partners and I had no complications. I’m so happy with the results and would highly recommend!

Consult - My experience from the start with Dr. Pietrasek and staff has been amazing. I initially had gone to another office for a consultation and was set with just going to the first surgeon that I had spoke with. However, a few friends suggested that I consult with some other surgeons. I am not sure how my experience would have been with the first surgeon I met with but I do not regret my decision in choosing Dr. P! From the start I felt extremely comfortable as he was kind and very through he brought up topics I did not even think of about asking. Surgery day - not surprising but he made me feel so comfortable that any anxiety I had just went away. His nurse Sandy was there from start to finish and even called later that evening to ensure that my boyfriend and I were comfortable with any and all aftercare procedures. Aftercare - the aftercare has been a pleasant experience going to the office multiple times a week, to weekly, to bi-weekly, to monthly. Dr. P is there to make sure you are healing well and ensure everything is progressing appropriately. Results - I could not be happier with the results. I wish I was able to do this sooner. The breast lift is exactly what I wanted and the tummy tuck results are fantastic. Personnel - Dr. P’s staff is amazing Tracy, Tawny, and Sandy have been a joy to see on a regular basis and they were always professional, kind, and helpful. Great team!

I cannot recommend Dr Pietraszek and his team more. From the start and meeting with Tracy, I felt comfortable right away. I went to three consultations in La Jolla before seeing Dr. Pietraszek and even already committed with another surgeon prior to meeting Dr. Pietraszek to move forward with a breast augmentation. Dr. Pietraszek was recommended to me by a family friend, so wanted to see him before I went through with that other surgeon. I felt very pressured with the three other surgeons I met and they were trying to sell me on doing more than just a breast augmentation. When I saw Dr. Pietraszek, he gave me his honest opinion and never once pressured me or tried to suggest other procedures (in fact he told me not to even consider the other procedures other surgeons were mentioning to get my desired results). This is when I knew Dr. Pietraszek was very passionate and honest about his patients and isn't just trying to get money out of them. 3 months post op I am happier than ever with my results and my recovery was seamless. His team checked on me regularly that first week post op and made me feel taken care of and comfortable. Would 10/10 recommend having a consultation with him and Tracy! I am very thankful for them as they have truly boosted my confidence.

I don’t ever write reviews but I felt I absolutely needed to about my experience at Dr. Pietraszek‘s office. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with warm welcomes from the front desk staff (every time not just on a good day). During my consultation, Christina was very sweet and informative and made sure to answer any questions I might have had. Dr. Pietraszek went over absolutely everything about breast implants (positive and negative). He is very knowledgeable, kind and gentle. I walked out of my appointment feeling very confident about my decision to follow through with breast implants. The day of surgery was very nerve racking for me because I have never had surgery before. The anesthesiologist walked me step by step through the entire process and was very kind. The nurse who preps you for the surgery and after care is such a sweet lady! They took such good care of me and told me exactly what was happening as it was happening and would explain the reason for each step. To say I am thrilled about my experience is an understatement. Going to Dr. Pietraszek for something so personal was by far the best decision I have ever made. I wish I could rate them 100 stars because you just can’t get any better than he and his team. I am incredibly happy with my results and am so happy I followed through with the surgery. I promise you will not be disappointed!! Thank you sooo very much Dr. Pietraszek and your team!

I met with Tracy when she was still employed there, she gave me a consultation and I paid a $500 deposit to book my surgery. I had to postpone it due to personal reasons, fast forward to present day where the new receptionist cannot locate my patient file for some reason and I’m being denied the refund of my $500 deposit for a surgery I never received!!!! DO NOT GO HERE, GO TO A DIFFERENT DOCTOR!!! Their paperwork and client files are NOT IN ORDER.
