Dr. Chalekson did a breast lift augmentation for me a few years ago. I was so happy with the outcome that I decided to come back to him for an abdominal- plasty and hernia repair. He is incredibly professional, informative and a talented surgeon. I felt very comfortable in trusting him with my major surgeries. He was able to do a drainless tummy tuck with me which made the recovery much easier. I have had zero issues or complications with either of my surgeries. And I am very happy with my results. I highly recommend him.

I had a great experience with Dr. C. I had a capsulectomy. He was very educated and handled me with respect and great bed side manner. He did exactly what I wanted. I didn't feel body shammed or scammed in anyway. I originally called a few doctors and I choose Dr. C because he was very professional and especially because THE STAFF WAS SO NICE. Receptionists mean everything to a company. Thank you :)

Staff is friendly and need to be for damage control. Dr. is arrogant and condescending. Blames patient when things go wrong. eg repeated suture line failures. Gluteal lift a disaster. Developed hip infection Went to him years ago for facelift that had complications. Had to go to Beverly Hills Caliber Plastic Surgeon to repair, now my butt lift. There is a reason the elite do not come to Templeton CA for surgery. see him.

I had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Chalekson and his staff. He walked me through the process and thoroughly explained my breast reduction and abdominoplasty procedures. I was very pleased that he was able to get my breast reduction covered by insurance. I'm very happy with my results from both procedures. Dr. Chalekson made me feel really comfortable with my decision and I would highly recommend him ~ great experience overall!

Was referred to Dr. Chalekson for reconstruction surgery after mastectomy due to cancer. Worst experience of my life! I am now left with a deformed hideous chest. I should have never had reconstructive surgery...or at not by him.

Being faced with breast cancer and a mastectomy is scary. I just had my last visit with Dr. Chalekson. I had some complications following my surgery and reconstruction and through it all, Dr. and his staff were wonderful. I never felt rushed, I had all my questions answered and always was treated kindly. I would highly recommend Dr. Chalekson.

Well, actually I still visit weekly. This is week seven post-op: tummy tuck, breast reduction, and fat grafting face peel. Dr. Chaleklson is a truly gifted surgeon and a very special person. Every doctor and their staff should learn how to take care of patients from this team of professionals. The entire staff feel like friends to me. They walked me through everything. I am very happy with my results. Dr. Chalekson employs nice, happy, smiling people to take of you. It feels good to look better and it feels good to have to wonderful people take of me.

Dr. Chalekson was one of the two surgeons participating in my mastectomy, and then he performed my breast reconstruction. I was completely satisfied with the entire process and the outcome. He and his office made sure the experience was as simple, compassionate and low-drama as humanly possible. There's really no other plastic surgeon in SLO county to trust with this procedure and long process.

I had breast augmentation. The aftermath is horrible. Gonna have to have them taken out buy another Dr. I wouldn't go back to Dr. C or refer him to my worst enemy.

A great experience with Dr Chalekson and his staff. I was diagnosed for a second time with breast cancer and facing a mastectomy with reconstruction. Dr Chalekson has been wonderful through this experience. I felt from day one very confident that he would be able to perform the surgery I would need. In addition to the primary surgery, I needed a breast reduction on the other side which I just completed that portion and am very happy with my results.

He took extra time with me explaining cosmetic injections. I knew I didn't want a frozen look and he made sure it was completely natural.
