Cancer survivors PLEASE BEWARE - I had a disfiguring outcome from the reconstruction of a ruptured implant performed by Dr. Gregory Evans. Instead of care and concern, you will be told "results are unpredictable." UCI's patient experience department will also dismiss your concerns and blame you for not returning to the doctor who harmed you. I wish I had done better research before choosing this provider. He was recommended to me by my oncologist, who was also horrified by the outcome.

I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my procedure. Dr. Evans, along with my colorectal surgeon, Dr. Carmichael, performed an incredibly intricate and delicate surgery that far exceeded my expectations. Their exceptional skill and compassion have truly changed my life, and I am deeply grateful for the care I received. Thank you Dr. Gregory Evans

I experienced nothing but first- rate, professional, caring and timely attention at UCI. Dr. Greg Evans and his very capable staff and residents took very good care of me. An oncology surgeon removed a melanoma from the side of my head and inside portion of my ear, and Dr. Evans “tag-teamed” to do a remarkable repair with skin grafts that are healing now two weeks out very well. (And I’m very grateful the margins and lymph are negative for malignant cells). I offer my unqualified and enthusiastic recommendation.

I had Melanoma reconstructive surgery done last Friday preformed by Dr Eric Wang. Regisrdless of the outcome I give Him my utmost RESPECT due to the challenge he had literally covering up a hole. He was very Comforting at my PreOp appt and said, “ I’ll take care of you Bonnie.” And that he Did ! Yesterday Jan 17th I saw Frankie and Lyndsey Bell to take the God Awful headgear off and the stitches out. Both girls are an asset to UCI Health Plastic Surgery I have nothing but Positive Good things to say about my Whole experience with UCI. Will definitely recommend them to my Newport Coast customers.

I have been a patient of Lyndsey Bell Stoffel for several years now, and cannot be more pleased! Lyndsey administers my Botox as well as other dermal fillers and chemical peels. First and foremost, she is extremely knowledgeable and is an experienced medical professional. Lyndsey approaches my treatments with an “artistic” eye, and makes sure my concerns are addressed. She is patient and compassionate. The office staff at UCI Health Plastic Surgery is efficient and courteous. I highly recommend Lyndsey and UCI Health!
