The Best Decision I’ve Ever Made
I honestly had the best experience with Dr. Nykiel at his Upland office with my breast augmentation. I had done research for years on surgeons and have been following him the past 5 years and finally decided to go through with the surgery this past March. I wanted to be as educated as possible in making my decision and I feel like Dr. Nykiel is extremely informative and really makes sure to give you all the information and possible outcomes before going into surgery.

The amazing women Krista and Amanda are extremely helpful and generous , they made me feel truly seen and heard. Dr. Nykiel is the best and really listens to my thoughts or concerns, this surgery went so smooth! I am 2 months post op and have very little tingle sensations and the scarring is looking very nice after using the silicone gel tapes , I am truly happy with the results and will keep updating in the next year on my progress , THANK YOU!

Amazing Results!
I had a really positive experience with Dr. Nykiel and his team. I came in for a breast implant replacement after having my original implants for over 21 years, and I was pretty nervous going under surgery again. But Dr. Nykiel immediately put me at ease during my first appointment. I felt comfortable and confident moving forward. He’s very knowledgeable, explains everything in a straightforward way, and makes the whole process feel simple and manageable. My results are amazing,

From Consultation to Recovery, I Felt Supported Every Step of the Way
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Nykiel and his team from start to finish. I was initially nervous going into the process, but they made me feel completely comfortable, informed, and supported every step of the way. The entire staff is so kind, responsive, and patient — no question ever felt too small, and I always felt like I was in great hands. Dr. Nykiel is incredibly detail-oriented and truly cares about his patients and their results. One thing that really stood out

Positive Experience from Start to Finish
I've seen Dr. Nykiel for more than one procedure and have consistently had a good experience. Most recently I had a tummy tuck, and the care from start to finish has been great. The staff is kind, organized, and responsive, which made the whole process smoother.
•••Found My Forever Injector•••
I was recommended by a great friend of 40+ years to go and see Trish. I’ve been doing Botox and Dysport for 10 years now and went between 2 ladies for these treatments. The lady I had been consistently seeing the past 2 years didn’t have any availability for 3 months out when I called to set a touch up appointment with her. And with regular injections, 3 months plus out is a LIFETIME to wait. In comes my introduction to Trish…the “Youth Gods” intervening I like to think. What

Response from Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel, MDThank you so much for this incredible review — and for the warm introduction to our practice! We're so glad the timing worked out and that Trish was able to step in right when you needed her. It's clear you know exactly what you want from your Botox and Dysport treatments, and that kind of expertise in a patient is something Trish truly appreciates. She loves taking the time to understand each person's goals — whether that's full forehead relaxation, crow's feet, or a beautiful lip flip — and making sure every result feels right to you, not just on paper. The complimentary touch-up appointment is something we believe in deeply, because we know that even outstanding results can have a detail or two that deserves a little more attention a couple of weeks later. You deserve to walk out feeling completely confident every time. We're so grateful you've found a home with Trish and our team — and we look forward to many more years keeping you looking and feeling your best!

Great Work!
Dr. Nykiel is so sweet and his staff is beyond amazing as well! Not only is his price point affordable, but his office and location was perfect for me. The team really accommodates you and makes you feel like family, I absolutely LOVED the flowers and card they gave me, it was so sweet. I will for sure be back for other procedures, and wanna give a shoutout to my girls Krista and Amanda. They really are the best, so sweet and understanding. Dr. Nykiel has an amazing team and

Response from Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel, MDThank you so much for this beautiful review — it truly made our whole team smile! Welcoming new patients and making sure that first experience feels warm, safe, and comfortable is something we care deeply about, and it means the world to hear that came through for you. Going under anesthesia for the first time can feel daunting, and we never want any of our patients to feel alone in that moment. Knowing you felt supported every step of the way is exactly what we strive for. The flowers and card are just a small way of showing how much we appreciate you trusting us — it's a privilege we don't take lightly. And Amanda will be so touched to receive your shoutout; she is absolutely one of a kind and we're lucky to have her! We can't wait to welcome you back for your next procedure. You're officially part of the family now!

The Best Experience
I’m so thrilled with my breast augmentation! Krista, Amanda, and the whole team made me feel so comfortable and supported from day one. Everything went smoothly and was really easy to get through. Dr. Nykiel did an amazing job—I love my results! It’s only been 3 weeks, and I feel great . I honestly couldn’t have asked for better care or a better experience. Highly recommend to come in for a consultation! A complimentary bouquet is given to you after surgery

From the moment you walk into Dr. Nkyles’ office in Upland, you are treated with genuine warmth and kindness. The staff is exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and refreshingly down to earth. There is absolutely no pompous pretense — just skilled providers who clearly know their craft and truly care about their patients. What stood out most was how thoroughly everything was explained. Services and procedures were discussed in a way that felt informative and comfortable, never pressured

Great Injector!
2. Trish is amazing! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable and informed about the entire Botox process. She explains everything thoroughly and really listens to your concerns before making recommendations. I love that she tailors the injections specifically to your needs rather than treating everyone the same. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving the best results possible.
