James C. Pietraszek, MD

Thank you Sientra! I’m in love. I researched tons of surgeons. I researched all the implant brands. I decided on Sientra based on so many positive reviews of the implant, as well as the best warranty offered on the market! I went on 5-6 consultations, and then I met Dr. Pietraszek! He is so kind and gentle, he made me feel at ease in seconds. He walked me through the procedure, after care, basically everything under the sun about implants. When I asked him about Sientra he had nothing but great things to say about them. Absolutely LOVE my Sientra implants! I’m only 3 months post op but they are shaping out perfectly and feel so natural already! I love them a little more everyday.

I simply don’t have the words to express how happy I am that I was referred to Dr Pietraszek and had the privilege of being his patient. You can’t put a price on the feeling of knowing you are well cared for and in very capable hands. The entire staff is amazing. I always feel like the only patient and the number 1 priority. My results exceed my expectations and I feel like I have my life back as well as the physical ability to be a better wife, mother, and friend. I only wish I’d come in sooner.

Best expirence ever. I did my breast and i love them i feel so much better , my self-esteem is better then ever , For sure I'll pick them again. Can't wait to see the staff again for my check ups, excellent staff good customer service there like family

Dr James Pietraszek is EXCELLENT in every way! His surgical skills are superior! He removed smaller saline implants & lifted my breasts. His scars are so thin, tiny & meticulous & already almost invisible to the eye. The quality of surgical skill is evident here. They now look like they did before I had kids. AMAZING! Highly recommend Dr P in La Jolla!

Dr. James Pietraszek is a doctor I have complete trust in. He is kind, thoughtful, patient and knowledgeable. He will be completely honest and one can feel he can provide the result expected and be very happy with that!
His staff will make you very comfortable and confident. I felt like "family". They are the best and my thanks to all of them.

Just had my breast augmentation surgery done by Dr P and I am stoked on the natural looking results for excellent value. $5,900 for silicone with a board certified plastic surgeon with 25 years experience is a great deal. Referring all my friends! Thanks Dr P

My sister, a registered nurse with over twenty years of experience, helped me research surgeons when I was deciding on a doctor for a tummy tuck and liposuction procedure. We had consults with five different surgeons, and after meeting with Dr. James Pietraszek, it was obvious that he was the doctor for the job.
I chose Dr. Pietraszek over the other doctors who I interviewed for a few reasons. Dr. Pietraszek has an amazing bed side manner. He is kind. He listens, looks you in the eye, and thoroughly answers questions that you have. In addition to his excellent bedside manner, (and perhaps even more important) he is a board-certified, plastic surgeon with thirty years of experience. What I learned through the whole research phase of this important decision in my life is that it’s easy to get fooled when looking at doctors’ credentials. My sister, the bulldog, is the one who taught me this fact. Do an internet search on the difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon and you’ll see what I mean. What you’ll find is that not all doctors who provide cosmetic surgery procedures specialize in plastic surgery. In other words, a general practitioner, like a family practice doctor, can decide that he/she wants to perform tummy tucks and he/she can go get certified to practice this technique. Lots of health care providers who aren’t actual plastic surgeons get certified to perform cosmetic surgery procedures because it’s lucrative. This wasn’t the kind of doctor I was looking for. I wanted a doctor with experience and solid credentials. I wanted a doctor who spent years as a medical student actually specializing in plastic surgery. I wanted a doctor who learned from other experienced plastic surgeons, and who passed the difficult board exams in plastic surgery, and I wanted a doctor who has practiced plastic surgery for the span of his entire career. If you choose Dr. Pietraszek to do whatever procedure you are considering, this is the doctor that you’re getting.
I leave you with this: Dr. Pietraszek is a perfectionist when it comes to getting results and that’s the kind of plastic surgeon you want operating on your body. One of his nurses shared with me that he takes drawing and art classes in his spare time. He understands balance of form, lines and aesthetics. In my opinion he is the best plastic surgeon in San Diego County and beyond. I say this not only because of all of the reasons that I mention above, but because of the results of my surgery. I love my smooth, flat, beautiful stomach. I’ve done the research. I wouldn’t consider going to anyone else, and if you want to be in the care of a gifted, intelligent, meticulous surgeon, either should you. Good luck on your journey in selecting a doctor for whatever procedure you are considering. I can say with complete sincerity that if you decide on working with Dr. Pietraszek, you won’t be sorry.

Dr. P. is professional, knowledgeable, and a perfectionist. He has wonderful bedside manner, took the time to answer all of my questions, listens and gave great advice. From my first consultation meeting Tamera, and Karen, to follow-up visits I have had a fantastic experience. I had my surgery 3 months ago and I am amazed with the results. THANK YOU DR. P!

I have nothing but praise for the entire staff and Dr. Pietraszek himself. Complete professionalism throughout the entire process. Amazing results that continue to impress as the post-op time passes. Absolutely no cons on why not to have the liposculpture procedure to rid those problem areas that remained to be an issue no matter how much dieting and exercising one does.

I really hadn't thought about breast augmentation and had always been satisfied with my natural breasts until i lost about 15lbs. After i lost weight, my breasts lost their fullness and i didn't feel as feminine. I decided to go for a consult for breast augmentation and scheduled my surgery that day! Dr Pietraszek and everyone at his office were and are amazing! The recovery was more painful than i had imagined but i was able to get through it and have amazing results! I had 375cc saline under the muscle implants, they look and feel natural, my husband and i both love them :)
