Amazing Surgery Experience!

From the moment I walked into Restore for my consultation, I just knew this was the place I wanted to do my surgery. Dr. Gallus is absolutely amazing, she's kind, knowledgeable and was helpful from the very beginning. Wonderful bedside manner. The rest of her staff is the best...front desk, billing, nurses, anesthesiologist, etc. With the whole process, I truly felt that they cared about me and wanted to help me gain my surgery objective. Dr Gallus explained everything soooo well,

I Had the Best Experience!

Dr Gallus is one of the best surgeons I’ve met. And I’ve met a lot since I work in the OR. I required a simple treatment but the overall care that was given to me made her and her practice achieved 5 stars!!! She made sure that I had the proper service, price was reasonable, ambiance is relaxing, spacious, and clean, and there is parking! I will definitely go back for more services and I highly recommend Dr Gallus!!!!

Great Experience!

From the minute you walk into the office you are immediately in a friendly and comfortable environment. Dr. Gallus and her staff put me at ease by having a conversation about my procedure, not by just telling me what was going to happen. I have had several procedures done from injectables to facials and every time I visit it's an amazing experience.

A Plastic Surgeon with INTEGRITY and SKILL!

Dr. Gallus is INCREDIBLE! Dr. Gallus did my scar revision (mini tummy tuck) post my three c-sections in 2013 and I was immediately thrilled with the results and five years later, I am still very happy with the outcome. Dr. Gallus is conscientious, detail oriented, and honest. I have also seen Dr. Gallus for a consult for thigh liposuction and Dr. Gallus told me that I did not need liposuction and educated me on the concerns of having a concavity if I did have the procedure. I

Comprehensive Care from a True Professional

Dr. Gallus has a brand new comprehensive plastic surgery practice in beautiful La Jolla. I have been to see Dr. Gallus and her staff on a number of occasions. They are kind, professional, intelligent, extremely caring and thorough, but most of all are of a caliber that most other physicians cannot compete with. The experience top to bottom was pleasant. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Jordyn and Erin who instantly made me feel at ease. Erin is an esthetician and very

Great experience!

I have struggled with sweaty hands my whole life, and no one was ever able to help me before Dr. Kat! She was extremely knowledgable and very comforting as it can be quit a painful process to get botox injected into your hands. Her facility was also brand new and extremely clean. I will definitely be continuing to go to her for botox treatment for hands as well as other potential treatment's in the future!

I had tried everything to lose weight . Short of starvation. I never thought I would care about plastics surgery, but the opportunity came up and I went for it. My surgeon is amazing, I am so happy and excited to feel good about myself again. I am 2 days post op, the drugs are helping a lot. The experience so far has been great. I am in some pain, but staying on top of meds, is helping. I am so happy and excited. I got 375cc under muscle silicone, full TT, liposuction on my muffin

Horrible lipo 360 - awful work and unprofessional doctor

This is absolutely not okay what someone who is 3× certified. I already had my surgery paid for my wedding and had to cancel because I was sooooo swollen, so painful. She charges so much for Tijuana better job. My husband came with me because she was so awful laughing at my tears, screaming, slamming doors, she freaked when we asked about the billing and she decided to have her sales girl tell us to go elsewhere without my after car. Going to all these seminars doesn't make her

Excellent Consultation

Everyone at Restore Plastic Surgery has been amazing. From Melia (Reception), to Erin, Patient Care Coordinator to Dr. Gallus. Erin and Dr. Gallus spent an INCREDIBLE amount of time going over the procedure with me and answered all my questions and concerns. I worked many years with the California Medical Board, so of course I did my Due Dilligence on reviewing Dr. Gallus impeccable record! Looking forward to the surgery and the results.
