David A Hidalgo PC

I'm so glad that over a dozen years ago, I chose Dr. Hidalgo to re-do my impants. They look just as good or maybe even better now than when he first did them (and this after breast-feeding my 5 year old for 2 years). I'd had my first implants done a few years before by a doctor in Los Angeles who had taken it upon himself to use a larger implant than what I had asked for. His explanation was, (not surprising as we're talking about L.A. here) ""everybody always comes back to me wanting to go bigger."" What an ass. He also couldn't have been more wrong in my case. So I spent the next few years feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable. I had also been unhappy with the results of past lipo, performed by yet another unsatisfactory dr. I wanted to minimize v minor saddlebags. But I had not one bit of cellulite anywhere, and my butt was pretty good. I ended up with slightly lumpy upper/outer thighs and a saggy butt since he chose to do me the ""favor"" of extending his substandard lipo to those areas as well. I finally decided to do something about it and I researched quite a bit. I would have to admit to being a perfectionist and after my previous experiences, Knowing that many doctors have p.r. firms on their payroll (beware the ""society"" plastic surgeon and I won't even mention those with advertising everywhere) and wary of choosing the wrong dr. again, I was especially assiduous. I was consistently hearing and reading great things about Dr. Hidalgo that seemed very genuine and sincere. I can only add more praise. Dr. Hidalgo gave me exactly what I wanted and was even able to improve the scar on my breast from my 1st surgery. He sort of talked me out of doing lipo too, saying the improvements might not be worth the expense, etc. He and his entire staff, could not have been more sensitive and caring. From the start and throughout the entire experience I was put at ease by the atmosphere of competence and experience in their office, and operating room. Now I've decided to go ahead and try to fix the lipo anyway, since it still bugs me to this day. Unless Dr. Hidalgo told me to, I wouldn't trust anyone but him to do it. It's been my experience that whether you are talking about doctors or plumbers, it breaks down into there being a few bad ones, even fewer really good ones and the rest are pretty much mediocre. I can't recommend Dr. Hidalgo enough and I'm looking forward to my next procedure with him! more

I had a truly positive, life-changing experience when Dr, Hidalgo did my facelift. All the things I worried about-- pain, scars, looking too pulled-- didn't happen. Instead I've got a natural, youthful face with zero visible marks. When I wear my hair up, I challenge my friends to find the scars! more

Dr Hidalgo is a very kind, patient and thorough professional. I felt extremely comfortable in his care and his staff was very helpful and caring. I was a bit nervous going into my surgery, however, everyone made me feel like I was right at home. I was very impressed with his Park Avenue facility which has a very warm atmosphere. I had my first rhinoplasty op performed by another doctor and was very disappointed in my results. Dr Hidalgo answered my prayers! I wanted corrective surgery performed before my upcoming wedding. I love my wedding pictures and couldn't be happier with my results! I have a very natural, flawless profile, one that I am no longer ashamed of. more

?I had considered breast augmentation since I was 15 and I finally went through with it when I was 27. I had done tons of research about breast augmentation over the years and Dr. David Hidalgo?s name always came up as one of the best. I was still very nervous to make a consultation of my own and actually first met him during a consultation he had with a close friend of mine. I actually had recommended she see him because of all the research I had done. Once we went and saw him, she was convinced he was the doctor for her and I immediately made a consultation for myself. Both of us ended up having the surgery within a month of seeing him. From the moment we walked into the office, you couldn?t help but notice how professional everyone was. The office was immaculate, from the way it was decorated to the way it was maintained. Dr. Hidalgo was very down to earth and honest. He was very mild mannered and answered all of our questions. Even though he has a fabulous reputation, he wasn?t arrogant or cocky and his office was elegant, unlike the fanfare you see on TV with all the other ?celebrity? plastic surgeons. I trusted Dr. Hidalgo?s judgment and I recommended he pick out the right size for me. Being barely an A cup and tall, I wanted to look natural and proportionate. That is exactly what he gave me. The entire experience was great from beginning to end. I always felt safe in their hands as all were very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions. My recovery was a bit painful but nothing that wouldn?t be expected after surgery. That was seven years ago and the best compliment I received was from my lactation consultant, who after helping women breast feed for years, told me I had the most natural implanted breasts she had ever seen. She would have never known! One baby later I am contemplating liposuction now. After what he did for my breasts, I have no reservations about going to him for any cosmetic procedure!? more

I was looking for a subtle improvement and Dr. Hidalgo did my nose and was able to accomplish my goals without making me look ?done?. I love my profile now and don?t shy away from pictures anymore. His gentle bedside manner and charismatic staff made the entire process a pleasure. Highly recommended! more

Dr Hidalgo is great. I went to him to have a rhinoplasty and love my results. It is so subtle and natural looking. Even my friends and family didn't notice any obvious change. It looks great and I love my profile. He is a true artist and only does work that looks natural and fits the person. I met someone in the waiting area who had a facelift and she looked amazing after only six weeks! Wow! I would only go to him in the future! Pros: excellent results, friendly staff more
