Samuel N. Pearl, MD (retired)

Yes! Doing this for me. Didn’t Mind my breast before but would get uncomfortable during sex and I figure why not make it better if I can. However I had about 3inches of excess skin hanging from my armpits after losing 165 pounds. I was limited to a few bras that I could tuck the skin into and many sleeveless outfits made me too self conscious.

Dr. Pearl is an extremely skilled surgical artist. 16 years ago I had weight loss surgery and as time went on extra abdominal skin, and less than perky breast became more and more pronounced. When you make a decision to enhance or improve a part of your body, it is not one that you do lightly. I have been so lucky in finding Dr Pearl and his amazing staff (Shelly, Peggy and Jez) and Dr's Ereso and Liu. Together we went on a journey to my correct my tummy and breast issues. Everyone has been absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. A year ago Dr Pearl performed an extended abdominalplasty to correct a lot of excess abdominal skin (see prior review) In short Dr Pearl did a fabulous job!!! Just six weeks ago Dr Pearl performed a breast lift without implants, removal of excess underarm/bra line skin, and revision of my tummy tuck scar. Dr Pearl was so innovative in his approach to the redundant underarm/bra line skin. In addition, I was already very happy with my tummy tuck scar but he is a perfectionist and let me know it could be improved. I am thrilled with the results, I have my 20 year old breasts back (they look amazing), no excess skin overflowing the sides of my bra, a flat stomach and he actually made a fabulous tummy tuck scar look even more so. I couldn't be more thrilled with my results As an R.N. I am continually impressed by Dr Pearls innovation and the use of the latest methods in plastic surgery and his depth of knowledge is impressive He has confidence when addressing my issues and is always willing to explain and discuss the plan/process in great detail. Dr Pearl is a wonderful listener He always takes time to answer any questions I have (which are many :) and continues to at each follow up visit. Dr Pearl has a fantastic bed side manner, warm, professional, and at the same time a perfectionist. :). Dr Pearls staff is a reflection of his style and leadership. Shelly is Dr Pearl's RN and is simply an amazing person. So knowledgable, caring, kind, and funny which can be so important during recovery. As an RN myself I respect her so much. Jez and Peggy run the office and are both so kind, caring and accommodating toward all the patients. Always willing to help and listen. Dr Pearls office takes a real team approach and are quite simply a fantastic team! Thanks to one and all!!!

Dr. Pearl is highly experienced, and I trust him completely. I have had multiple surgeries with Dr. Pearl and his staff including a breast augmentation correction (difficult procedure on one breast which failed), and breast lift. He was prepared in surgery with various size implants and used his techniques to repair my breasts. They now look great. Most recently, as I am over 50, I noticed my face was looking old. I could not pinpoint what it was, either my eyes were baggy underneath, my cheeks needed lifting, my chin was sagging, I had lost volume in my mid-face/cheeks. What procedure would be effective?? I had already done Botox and Fillers, just not giving me a youthful look. Dr. Pearl carefully examined my facial structure and we discussed a mid-face lift and fat transplants to my cheeks. I could not have been happier with the results. It was like an artist sculpted my face for me to make me more beautiful. With fat transfer, he can take place large amounts of fat to resculpt your cheeks, fill brow lines, fill your under eye area. He is an artist with how he uses his eye to envision improvements and uses plastic surgery techniques . I look like me, just better. It does not even look like I had surgery. Considering I have planned to improve myself as I age, I am very appreciative I have found a surgeon who truly has a vision for natural improvement, and what will bring out my beauty along the way. His office, Nurses, Anesthesiologist, Staff, all are like friends now. I was never embarrassed, and very comfortable in the OR located in his office in Mtn. View.

Just had breast augmentation with Dr. Pearl & I am 100% happy! After having twins & a 3rd baby & nursing with all 3 of them my breast had no volume left in them. I wanted to plump them back up without feeling too unnatural or fake looking. Dr. Pearl helped with choosing the correct size for my body frame & gave me exactly what I asked for. The healing process has been a breeze. I cannot say enough positive things about his staff as well! A huge thanks to Shelley & Jez who made this whole experience wonderful & for all of your help with everything! I highly recommend Dr. Pearl!!

Dr. Pearl did an excellent job on my tummy tuck. It turned out better then expected and without infection or complications. When I first went to see him I had a lot of different ideas about what procedure I wanted done first. Without judgment or pressure, Dr. Pearl help me to decide what might be best for me at that time and he advised me away from a new breast augmentation, because even though after having them for a long time, I didn't need them changed. He could of made extra money off of me, but he advised me of what was right. He and his staff are always very polite and the RN that assists him is wonderful. The tummy tuck really made a huge change in my life and the way a feel about myself and I am so glad I chose the right surgeon to do the job. I feel it made all the difference.

Above and beyond ! Dr. Pearl and his staff are incredible amazing. He did exactly what I was looking for , he made me feel very comfortable. All my questions were answered before and after the procedure. Recovery time was great and painless. His experience and knowledge make him one of the best in the Bay Area. Thanks Dr. Pearl !

I had a great experience with Dr. Pearl. The front staff was very accommodating, prompt and welcoming. Dr. Pearl had a great bedside manner and made sure that I understood the procedure fully. He took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions before and after surgery.The anesthesiologist was very thorough in explaining what I could expect after surgery and eased my nerves heading in to surgery. The nurses were so kind after the procedure and gave my wife exact care instructions that were easy to follow. All medications prescribed minimized discomfort and swelling. In general, I feel like Dr. Pearl and his staff put my needs at their highest priority. I'm extremely happy with the results and would recommend him to anyone in need of a great plastic surgeon.

I felt comfortable from the beginning. Dr. Pearl listened carefully to my request and understood the outcome I was hoping to achieve with my brow lift. The office and nursing staff made me feel as though I was an old friend.

Dr Pearl takes his aesthetics and medical experience together and provides great results. I had a difficult reconstructive breast surgery, and trusted the work to Dr Pearl. He has a great eye for improvements that are natural and subtle with injections as well.

Dr. Pearl and his team are amazing. He performed a bilateral breast lift and augmentation as well as a full tummy tuck. I've always been thin and athletic, but my body (particularly my breasts) was ruined by two pregnancies and almost four years of breastfeeding. I feel extremely confident and much more comfortable in my body now. Thanks Dr. Pearl!!
