Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Erella was very thorough and I was very happy with my liposuction results. I was able to lose 25 lbs on my own, afterwards. His staff his excellent, and always took great care of me. I definitely recommend Aspira, and I already have!

Dr. Erella performed my lip injections (Juvederm) and Jeuveau injections himself. He asked me what my areas of concern were, and took his time to explain why and what he was going to do. I am very pleased with my results!

I had a combined tummy tuck and a hysterectomy on May 30th. Definitely choosing Dr. Erella as my plastic surgeon was the best decision I have ever made. From my first visit, Dr. Erella has been very respectful and has always made me feel comfortable. I was extremely scared because of my age (52 years old), but he helped put my fears away. To me, is very clear that Dr. Erella's number one goal is his patient's safety. Dr. Erella worked very well with my gynecologist and they both coordinated my surgery fantastically with no complications. Dr. Erella was very clear and realistic about what I should expect and didn't make unrealistic promises. My recovery has been AMAZING with just very little pain for the first 4 days. My stomach is looking flat and beautiful. My results definitely exceeded all my expectations. Dr. Erella's staff is very professional and helpful. Cyndi has been an angel to me. She is very sweet and always ready to help in any way possible. I highly recommend Dr. Erella.

Dr Venkata Erella performed a breast reduction. He butchered my breast. I have visible scarring around my nipples, on the bottom of both breast and large scar incisions from by nipples to the bottom of my breast. You can also see the visible stitch marks and my nipples are extremely sensitive and painful 2 years after surgery. The doctor and staff were unresponsive when we notified them about the issues and concerns. He also placed the nipples unevenly.
