I’m over the top happy with my outcome.

My experience at Dr Dorfman’s office was the best! I had forehead cyst removed and breast augmentation/ mastopexy. My procedure went smoothly and I recovered quickly. Dr Dorfman is very professional, kind, attentive and caring. He has his patients best interests at heart and he listens to your concerns and questions. Very talented, thoughtful and humble. I’m over the top happy with my outcome. I really felt taken care of. Everyone at the office is very nice and friendly. Susan and Nina are amazing, helping me with pre and post op information visits. I recommend Dr Dorfman to anyone. He’s truly the best!

I had my surgery less than two weeks ago and you would never know!

I was recently referred to Dr Dorfman via a friend for a procedure that I had been considering for some time but was apprehensive about doing. As soon as I walked into Dr Dorfman's office in Costa Mesa I was greeted by his fabulous team with big smiles and warm hearts, and any sense of worry or fear immediately disappeared. I wanted to see Dr Dorfman to discuss Blepharoplasty (a type of surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids). Dr. Dorfman explained in great detail what the procedure would entail, and made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease. I was able to ask all the questions and felt heard and reassured. I had my surgery less than two weeks ago and you would never know!! I am SO happy with my new eyes and can now wear mascara again! It's amazing! To anyone out there who is thinking about any sort of cosmetic surgery, I can't say enough positive things about my own experience, and I would highly recommend him! THANK YOU SO MUCH DR DORFMAN!!!!

I now look better than I did as a teenager!

Dr.Dorfman and his team were amazing! He made what I always dreamed to look into a reality. After 3 C-sections and also having my last baby in my late 30's it was impossible to get my stomach back to my pre-baby status. I decided to take a good friends recommendation to have a consultation with Dr. Dorfman. He made me feel so at ease about, what I thought would be scary procedure. His staff went above and beyond to make sure I understood the pre-surgery process and even after the surgery they reached out to me to make sure I was healing well. I now look better than I did as a teenager! If your like me wanting to look better, DON"T hesistate call Dr. Dorfman so you can live and look your best and most beautiful self!

Best surgeon! Recently I had a BA & BL, his post-op care is unmatched

Dr. Dorfman is the absolute best! His bedside manner is incomparable. He's very humble, sweet, and most importantly patient. I've known Dr. Dorfman for about 4 years now. Just recently I had a BA and BL, I had previously had my implants removed from a previous surgery. I was worried to have complications, but Dr. Dorfman was very helpful and answered all my questions and doubts. I will never go to any other Dr. I hardly write reviews but he is so worthy of one. Even his post op care is unmatched. He will make sure you are doing well, and if you have any questions he's super quick to response. I trust him 100% and I'm so grateful to have had him be my surgeon. The staff is also super sweet and attentive. I am obsessed with my results and now I feel so much more confident in bathing suits and low cut tops. Thank you Dr. Dorfman for giving me my confidence back. You’re such an amazing doctor and human being.

Beyond happy and grateful he made me feel normal again

I had the best experience with Dr. Dorfman! After having my breasts redone in 2021 by another surgeon, I had nothing but issues. I developed capsular contracture and one of my breasts looked completely misshaped, smaller and the scar around my areola was completely concaved. My previous surgeon tried to “fix” it but failed to do so. After going back to my old surgeon one last time expressing my concerns, he told me I should just remove them. It was obvious they just did not want to deal with me anymore and I felt pretty devastated. I decided to get another opinion and right off the bat, I liked the staff and overall caring demeanor from the entire office! Dr. Dorfman took one look at my situation and said it could definitely be fixed! I felt like I was actually being listened to. Long story short, I booked my third surgery in less than two years and Dr. Dorfman did a beautiful job. He switched out my implants, removed the hard capsule and my breast finally looks normal again. Not just normal but actually beautiful. I am beyond happy and grateful he made me feel normal again. Again, the staff is also amazing, quick to respond and genuine. I highly recommend Dr. Dorfman!

Incredible - my results are amazing and exceeded my expectations

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Dorfman and his whole team. Frankly, I was nervous about my mommy-makeover but Dr. D put me at ease, answered all my questions, and took care of me every step of the way. Listen. My results are amazing and exceeded my expectations! No complications. No complaints. There's no one else in SoCal I'll go to. His expertise is unmatched.

Glad I Trusted Dr. Dorfman

Dr. Dorfman is great! I saw Dr. Dorfman for lipo of my inner and outer thighs. Every morning when I got dressed I would try to find an outfit that "hid" my hips. It was that one thing that I hated about my appearance. I am athletic, work out a lot, but just had these stubborn areas of fat on my saddlebag area and inner thigh. I was hesitant to have the procedure because I had heard it was a difficult area to address. Dr. Dorfman reassured me that I was a good candidate and showed me some of his before and afters of similar patients. They other patients looked great, exactly like what I wanted, so I put my faith in him. I am so glad I did. I am very happy with my results.
