Well Worth It - Costa Mesa, CA
Posted by etl808
I had a visibly collapsed rt nostril & wasn't able to breathe. I've had multiple facial reconstructive operations for a birth defect. I consulted with a number of surgeons and many said that nothing could be done about this- after meeting w/Dr Sundine I felt comfortable&confident he could help. He answered all of my questions patiently and explained the procedure and process. Post op care has been a positive experience with no wait time and the office staff's responsiveness being timely and considerate. Toni has been kind and compassionate thru the entire process. Dr Sundine surpassed my expectations - the results are amazing! It takes courage to commit to any life changing action and with Dr Sundine's knowledge, skill, and compassion I feel I was in the best hands.

He was recommended to me by a family member in the medical profession locally. When you first meet Dr. Sundine, you feel very comfortable, he puts you at ease. He was highly recommended by a member of the local medical community, which is important to me since I previously had a very bad experience. Dr. Sundine is a great surgeon, and the results were remarkable, more than I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend Dr. Sundine to anyone seeking plastic surgery, he is an artist.
Phenomenal! - Orange County, CA

Making a decision to alter your appearance is a difficult one, even when it is something you have wanted to do for a long time. Finding the right surgeon, and environment makes it that much easier. The very first time you walk into the office there is an immediate feeling of ease that comes over you. Toni, her easygoing, yet informative nature, the fact that there is never a wait, or really anyone else in the office to make you feel uncomfortable is wonderful. There is no "factory" feeling in Dr. Sundine's office, and I am sure that many of you in Orange County understand that description. Dr. Sundine is wonderful, an ethical, brilliant doctor who takes the time to understand his patients needs and wants and ease their fears. The phone calls I made in my effort to come to a decision about implant size, the emails, the visits and questions were only addressed with the utmost of patience, care and attention. The end result is a beautiful, natural looking breast augmentation and a longstanding relationship with a phenomenal surgeon. Thank you Dr. Sundine and staff for offering your personal best every time.

I was nervous before the surgery and he totally put me at ease, he answered every crazy question I had and was so kind about it. He spent a great deal of time with me, I haven't ever waited in the waiting room more than five minutes but any time I needed to see him after the surgery he was there. He even met me at the office on a Saturday to look at something I was worried about, which ended up being nothing. I love this office!!! Dr. Michael Sundine made me feel totally at ease and actually listened when I explained what I wanted. His office staff made sure I was completelly prepared so there wasn't anything I wish I knew beforehand and there haven't been ANY down sides to it. I'm so thankful to Dr. Sundine and his office staff for every detail of my experience and how they have changed things for me. (Costa Mesa, CA)

Dr. Sundine is an expert in plastic surgery. I have wanted to have a neck lift and facelift for several years. I have interviewed 5 other surgeons. I kept procrastinating then I called Dr. Sundine's office. First off his nurse, Toni, was so kind and helpful. We set an appointment. From the moment I walked into the office I felt comfortable and at ease. I can honestly say, Dr. Sundine and his staff truely put the health and safety of the patient first. Dr. Sundine is precise and meticulous in his work.
Don't Waste Time Looking at Other Doctors! - Costa Mesa, CA
Posted by Phyllis Landon
I was extremely fortunate when a friend recommended Dr. Sundine to me for an eyelid lift and neck rejuvenation. Since it was my first step into the world of cosmetic surgery and I am older (66 years), I was scared about looking plastic. My goal was to look as natural as possible only better and younger. As soon as I met and consulted with Dr. Sundine, I knew he was the BEST!! I never even wasted my time finding other surgeons. Dr. Sundine spent all the time needed to explain precisely what the procedures involved and what to expect post-operative. Not many doctors take into account what YOU wantI Never did I feel rushed when I asked questions. Also the pre-and post operative care from the entire staff was phenomenal. I wish I had done all of this sooner (maybe in my 50's) and now I am saving for my entire facelift in about 5 years. Dr. Sundine will definitely be my doctor again.

I traveled from out of state to get treatment from Dr. Sundine. After I saw some of the result pictures of his work, I was convinced that I was in very skilled hands. I appreciated that took the time to explain everything in advance and was honest about the result of my laser treatment. Dr. Sundine made my procedure as comfortable as possible and it went very smoothly. It was the best laser treatment I’ve ever gotten due to Dr. Sundine’s knowledge and the state of the art technology he uses. I was nervous prior to my procedure, but Dr. Sundine’s assistant was great and helped me relax. I also appreciated his follow ups and phone calls after my procedure. I truly enjoy my follow up visits to Dr. Sundine office. He has a wonderful team who make you feel so welcomed. I’m very happy with the result and planning to go to him for other treatments. Dr. Sundine is wonderful and I’ve already recommended him to all of my friends and family.

I live in Hawaii and have had a procedures in breast augmentation previously. I was referred to Dr. Sundine through a friend as I was not comfortable with having my surgery done in my home town. I'm grateful for the genuine care I received, pre and post operatively. I would definately reccomend Dr. Sundine and Toni's professionalism. It is challenging to come from an island and try and make everything work inside of a week. The management of my surgery went off without a hitch. That takes great planning and effort. I am very appreciative of all their help.
Cosmetic Injections - Costa Mesa, CA
Posted by Lisa,SoCal
Being in Medical Sales most of my career I have meant many Doctors and Surgeons. The first time I met Doctor Sundine I knew he was the BEST in his field. Not only does he have the experience and skill he has the Integrity and Honesty that is important. Finding a Cosmetic Surgeon in Southern Ca can be difficult and a negitive experience. Doctor Sundine will make you feel comfortable right away, answer all your questions and give you all your options. He is the BEST at cosmetic injections. He achieves a refreshed, natural and youthful look that gives me years back!! I get the BEST results from Doctor Sundine than anyone else I have been to and he uses less product!! In the future for any cosmetic procedure or surgery I will always rely on Doctor Sundine to get me the BEST results. Tony "ROCKS" too!!!

Facial Reconstructive Surgery
I'm giving him 5 stars all-around because he deserves it. I am so greatful for Dr. Sundine because he took a rather devastating injury and transformed it back, like it never even happened. From the moment we met, he related to me on a personal level, making me feel extremely comfortable with the procedure I was about to undergo. His follow-up was first class and he contantly checks in to this day to make sure I am doing well still.

Results Exceeded All of my Expectations! - Costa Mesa, CA

Facelift
I gave Dr. Sundine the highest possible review in each category because he truly deserved the highest reviews on every level. I am a very well recognized lawyer on the West Coast. My firm has spent millions of dollars on television advertising in which I appear. I could not afford to have a bad face lift or even for people to notice I had a face lift at all. I interviewed many physicians including some of the "celebrity" physicians. Ultimately, I chose Dr. Sundine because he performs highly complex complete facial reconstruction procedures on children. I figured if he was so skilled that he could perform such incredibly difficult procedures on a child, I was confident he could perform a face lift with which I would be happy. The results were so far beyond my expectations that I could hardly believe. I look literally ten years younger. I am incredibly happy with the results and they seem to get better and better as the healing continues. I never had a problem getting a return call or making an appointment. Dr. Sundine is always pleasant and answers all of my questions. I would recommend him to anyone!!!
