I enjoyed meeting Doctor Petti and her staff they were all pleasant and professional. The waiting room is comfortable and inviting. I received the Vivace microneedling and the results were wonderful! Also I received the Cool Peel which was quite an experience. I expected it to hurt but it really didn't. My skin has already started to peel and I see the beautiful new skin underneath coming through. I am very pleased with the whole experience.

Dr. Petti is one on of the best physicians who has taken care of me. As a nurse practitioner and registered nurse with almost 30 years of clinical experience I have met my share of excellent and not-so-good physicians. What makes Dr. Petti stand out is that she is meticulous in the care she provides to her patients. Her attention to detail is highly commended especially in a time where it seems everyone seems to be in a rush. Another reason why Dr. Petti is a seasoned physician is that she continues to educate herself with evidence-based research and implements up-to-date findings into her practice

I went in for my second consult with Dr. Petti. It had been about 5 years since I had met her and her staff. They couldn't locate my old information, but that didn't stop them from treating me like family! So friendly, so professional and so so gentle and understanding. I had a very thorough consult. Dr. Petti actually told me I didn't need the extensive surgery I went in for. Her and her staff's honesty was so refreshing and what had brought me back to her in the first place after all these years. Her honesty cut my estimated cost by more than half. She NEVER tried to up sale

Absolutely amazing doctor. I had multiple procedures done by Dr Petti and every one of them was done with great attention to details. She is experienced, knowledgeable, caring, and able to treat difficult cases, such as mine, with ease. I was treated with respect and kindness since I stepped into her office. Her staff is amazing, too. I'm very happy I found her, and I warmly recommend her to anyone needing her services.

My procedure of Smart Lipo was a positive experience, Dr. Petti and her staff saw to that. Rosanne, Jean and Stefanie often called to check in on my recovery. Dr. Petty was open to questions and had a thorough approach to her clients. Dr. Christine Petti can easily be called a Sculptress, as in my world right now. R. Privitera

I saw Dr. Petti about a week ago for botox and fillers. I greatly dislike pain and have been pushing off botox and fillers for as long as possible.
I've been to many consultations with plastic surgeons for this procedure and learned all of them have this treatment done by a nurse. I don't have anything against nurses, but I once had a spider vein laser procedure done by a nurse and she burnt me to the point that I have permanent scars all over my legs.
Of all the doctors I met with, Dr. Petti was the only doctor that did the botox and fillers herself. I am VERY happy with the results

Dr Petti is AMAZING!!!! Her knowledge of every aspect of surgery (breast augmentation) from technique to visual satisfaction to out-patient care to follow up and customer service is literally perfect. Her team is awesome! She is a beautiful, expert, caring surgeon and person. I am amazed and thrilled by my results.

Dr. Petti was the only surgeon I went to for my consultation because once I met her I knew I wanted her to perform my breast augmentation.
My procedure was more complicated than a regular breast augmentation due to the fact that I had constricted breasts, but Dr. Petti knew exactly how to help me achieve the look I wanted, despite the condition my breasts were in.
She is truly an artist, a master in her field, and with her warm and welcoming personality, she really treats you as her own.

surgeon and I am so excited and

I would leave 10 stars if I could. I had just moved to Los Angeles and wandered into Dr. Petti's office and she not only became my doctor but has been a dear friend ever since. Working in entertainment, I have trusted her with everything from Breast Augs, Sculptsure, Juvaderm, Botox, and more. She has instilled me with not just physical confidence, but mental as well. She is a true gem in a city of untrustworthy professionals. I couldn't recommend her more

I had a wonderful experience!!! The office is serene and comfortable, and the staff are warm and friendly. Dr. Petti explains everything in complete detail, and answers every single question, usually even… before I ask them. I was with Dr. Petti herself for nearly an hour discussing everything there was to discuss during the initial consult, and I felt no pressure to quickly end the visit. She was more than happy to go over every detail with me. I am so happy to have chosen her. Her skill is exceptional and I am very very pleased. She is very one-on-one with her patients and makes the time
