I should have written this a long time ago but I procrastinate. I had a breast augmentation on Dec 28,2020. Dr. Hodnett did such a great job. I couldn't be happier. I read a review and someone complained because they went in for a consultation and came out feeling worse because he told her what she needed to have done. Well that is his job. I am so glad he pointed out what I needed done because I would not have known. He showed me the before and after pictures and I almost passed out. I could not believe how terrible I looked in the before picture. He is absolutely amazing and I am so thankful

Just had my surgery this morning. My second and a revision on a surgery from four years ago (NOT by him.) He was able to immediately see all the issues with my last augmentation. He asked why I wanted the “bigger” size i have and when I told him; he reassured me he could give me the exact look I wanted. His staff is incredible. So nice and easy to work with. As someone who flew into the country during COVID for this procedure, it was a bit more complicated to work out the details but they worked so hard for me to have a great experience. The bed is heated and comfortable, the nurses are fun

If possible I would rate him a negative. I went to him twice to get liposuction from my arms . First procedure I could not even tell the difference. Finally - I will admit -at no extra cost he re did my arms . One looked ok but the other was horribly mutilated ! Went back to complain first he claimed it was the swelling & later he said it must have been I gained the weight back . It's almost 3 years now and you can definitely see the line from the lipo instrument he used . My arm is horrible .

This doctor is Blunt, not courteous, rude, and very short on his answers, and definitely is more of a sales person than humanitarian doctor. To be a plastic surgeon his physical appearance is not what I expected, he was dressed very unprofessionally, the chairs inside the consultation room are practically ripping off. However the front desk and nurse that helped me were very nice. I went in to get steroid Kenacort-Triamcinolone acetonide injections. ( this helps from swelling and prevent/reduce fibrosis post rhinoplasty) I have very thick, oily skin and am aware of the limitations a surgery has

I went to a consultation with Dr. Hodnett, for my forehead eyes and neck. I told him I was most unhappy with my forehead. He assured me he could make my forehead smaller I was reassured that it would look natural .
After months of post-operative visits, I had stitches coming up through large oozing bumps in the infected incision. It was raw, wide and red. The incision was wide and went from below each temple to temple. My forehead scar is wide, irregular and white.
I notice my eye shape had change drastically from the surgery. Since then I have been having medical issues with my eyes. They

I could not say enough good things about Dr Hodnett and his staff. I was recently in a car accident and he got me in right away to evaluate me. He spent so much time with me and helped me work out a plan that would work best and get me back to normal. He listened to all my concerns and worked with me every step of the way and gave me amazing results. I could not have asked for a better doctor.

3 1/2 months after my breast lift/aug and tummy tuck surgery and I can't believe how amazing I look and feel. Dr. Hodnett is professional and honest. Both him and Jeanette made sure I understood all of the after care. I can't emphasize how important it is to follow the doctor's orders because that is also part of the success of the surgery. Tracy, Jeanette and Dr.Hodnett are such a great team. I am so pleased that after months of researching I decided on this center. The surgical team was great. They made me feel comfortable and I love the fact that the surgical center is at the same location.

Over all great experience. Silvia, Patty, Maryah and the rest of the staff were amazing. I got a Rhynoplasty. My nose was crooked to the left, I had a deviated septum, and had a hump on the top of my nose. Dr. Hodnett did an amazing job. He was very upfront with me at the consultation. He did not sugar coat anything. The day of my surgery he explained everything that he was going to do and what to expect post op. I am in love with my new nose and I would recommend Gold MEd Surgery Center in Encino,CA to everyone!!!!

I would like to start off by saying that I absolutely love my results. I could not have found a better Doctor to have performed my surgery. Anyone who has undergone an invasive surgery knows exactly how stressful the entire process can be; finding the right Doctor, the terrifying thought of going under, and what the results will look like post surgery. Not to mention the price. Let me reassure you that this entire experience, from beginning to end, was pleasantly stress-free thanks to the Dr. Hodnett and his wonderful staff. They are simply, the best at what they do.
