Dr. Daniel Gene Kolder, MD

I'd never recommend Dr. Kolder to anyone! Let's start from the beginning, during my first consult he did a great job explaining confidently how he would reduce my breast & my areola and they would be nice & perky again. In scheduling I asked if I could have a 6am appointment which I was given, then I was called and told they put someone else in my slot that my time was moved to 1pm the same day. I'm on time and ready for my procedure and waiting for four hours past 1pm because the doctor was still working on the same patient since 6am. They finally take me in at 5pm and I'm nervous to say the least asking if we should reschedule due to it being so late. I'm concerned I have a tired surgeon that's going to work on me. The nurse tells me no he's fine and gives me my anesthesia medicine in my IV. I was not finished until 10pm at night. My daughter tells me she was worried & calling and no one would answer her calls. Fast forward to my follow up appointment and we take off the bandages.… I'm in complete shock as I was completely flat chested from a DDD to what looked like a B and a penny size black areola. They told me not to worry it was only because the bandages were wrapped so tight that it caused me to look flat but they will heal in 6 months and settle into their shape. I left and sat in my car a cried my eyes out and Geena came out to counsel me telling me if I after 6 months I still don't like the results we will put an implant to fix it for me to not even worry about the money well work it out. By the way she has been very empathetic and sweet towards me however she cannot follow through with her promises once doctor wants to write you off and objects to fixing you. I am writing this 7 months later after getting other professional opinions of board certified surgeons throughout Southern California. I was advised for my body frame and size breasts he performed the wrong type of breast augmentation. I now have slanted breasts that look abnormal and flat because he removed breast tissue from the center of my breasts removing my cleavage tissue and did not address the side breast tissue. In addition I cannot correct the areola because he removed so much areola that there's hardly enough oxygen which is why they stayed dark. My areolas were never this dark. After paying $10k he refuses to acknowledge his error and blame it on my anatomy and body shape stating even if he does make the adjustment to make them even and round they will slant by themselves within 6 months, that it's just my body shape. According to several other surgeons that it not the case and one even admitted he made the same mistake when he first started and recognized it immediately. At this point I am paying Thousands of dollars again for another surgeon to correct Dr kolders work. I truly feel if he hadn't worked on me in the middle of the night maybe more time and care would have been put into making sure this was done correctly, Or maybe not I hope this helps someone so you never have to go through the pain & depression of a surgeon removing your womanhood and turning their back on you after they have taken your money.

He is the WORST surgeon ever . He completely butched my body , without taking responsibility of fixing his mess .

If I could, I would give Dr. Kolder and his staff more than 5 stars! I have never had less than a perfect experience in his office. The entire staff is professional, genuinely warm and attentive. Nurse Wendy is hands down, the best in her field. She knows her stuff, and always gives me amazing Botox results. Dr. Kolder is one of the most conscientious doctors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. You can tell that he loves what he does, and he does it VERY well. When I went to see him for my procedure, I felt completely safe in his care. He was committed to my needs from start to finish, making sure no question was left unanswered, that I was comfortable through my entire procedure and most importantly, that I left happy and pleased with my results (and I did)! :) Thank you, Dr. Kolder and Staff for consistently providing kind, caring and exceptional service! I will be back!

I was diagnosed with cancer on my scalp and I chose Dr. Kolder as my plastic surgeon to stitch me back together. He did such a great job, that I referred my daughter to him to repair her leg from an infection she contracted from a bad manicure. Dr. Kolders' professionalism and honesty is ranked at the highest level. We are so impressed with the staff and office atmosphere, that my wife, daughter and friends are patients of Wendy for all their Botox and Juvederm needs. Most offices just want your money whether you need a procedure or not....But not Wendy, she is honest with her patients, she asks what areas are you looking to improve, she offers suggestions/feedback and after the dialogue she will do exactly what is requested by the patient. Wendy is an expert in her field, has product expertise and is honest with her patients. My family and I have been patients of Dr Kolder and Wendy for several years and each procedure is performed with care for their patients. The Hardy… family will be a life long patient of Dr. Kolder and Wendy. Thank you!

I was so happy with Dr. Kolder. His warmth & professionalism were the perfect combination to inspire trust. My procedure was exactly as he described. He was completely honest about pain, healing & overall results. I knew exactly what to expect & it made the whole experience easier for me. The nurses & office staff were & are amazing! I've never felt so welcome at any other doctor's appointment. I continue to go back to see Wendy, his nurse injector & Candy, his Laser nurse!
