Profile

Dr. Lakshman is a board certified plastic surgeon and is also board certified in surgery of the hand. He began his training in one of the busiest trauma centers in the nation working for three years in pre-requisite general surgery residency. Afterward, Dr. Lakshman worked for a year and half with a burn and wound care fellowship at the same institution. During this time, he learned to resuscitate burn victims and treat the terrible, painful and disfiguring scars caused by burns. He spent countless days and nights in the Burn ICU with patients suffering from post-burn infections and inhalational injury. Burn surgery is a challenging and rewarding field but it is 24 hour, 7 days a week commitment requiring ’round the clock patient care.

This intense experience in the surgical and ICU management of the most challenging and life threatening conditions experienced by surgical patients gave Dr. Lakshman a level of confidence and surgical skill that he now brings to every client in his plastic surgery practice.

I visited Dr.Lakshman’s office for a consultation for Lipo360. He and Alba listened to all of my concerns and goals for my body. Dr.Lakshman took the time to examine my problem areas and gave me his recommendation. I truly appreciate his honesty in telling me that he didn’t think Lipo360 was a good option for me. Any other doctor could have gone ahead and performed the procedure, simply because I asked for it, but he felt it would leave me worse off and unhappy with the results. I can’t tell you enough how I truly appreciate his honesty.

The moment I first stepped foot in to the office at Pasadena Surgeons I felt that they were the ones to help me with fulfilling my dreams (no pun intended😜) Right away I felt the trust with Dr. Lakshman and his amazing, sweet staff. Dr. Lakshman listened to what I wanted and over did my expectations. I am honestly great full with what he did and how he did. My breast came out amazing! Thank you Dr. Lakshman! I am 3 mo post op today and couldn’t be happier!

I am happy to note that I am beyond thankful and pleased with the outcome of my surgical procedure from Pasadena Surgeons. In March of 2021, I had a trigger thumb issue and in searching for a hand specialist, came across Dr. Shankar Lakshman, when he was affiliated with the Orthocenter Medical Group. Not too long after, I spoke with Dr. Lakshman about having issues with numbness with two of my fingers on my left hand. He then referred me to Dr. Girard, a Neurologist, for testing. Come to find, I had to have surgery and July of 2021 was my scheduled date. With the help of my doctor and staff, surgery went well. About three weeks post-op, I was going to Thera Ex for physical therapy. Meanwhile, getting paperwork in order for State Disability Insurance, I was told to no longer go to the Orthocenter Medical Group and see Dr. Lakshman directly in his other office, Pasadena Surgeons. Since I needed my disability paperwork filled out, I decided to do a walk-in. There, I came across a very engaging and helpful receptionist, Diana. She had a kind and nurturing way about her, I felt like I had known her for years. With coming from recovery into an unfamiliar environment, this was very comforting. I filled out my information as a new patient and was told that the Office Manager would get back to me in a timely manner because she was not available at the time. Alba is the Office Manager. A highly organized, helpful, and accommodating individual. After the office tour, I realized that Dr. Lakshman was not only a Specialist for the Hand, but also a Cosmetic, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Specialist. Dr. Lakshman would see me monthly for follow-up. I was off work for a period of four months. When I finally went back to work, I was able to feel my fingers again. Surgery was a success!! It has been a pleasure getting to know all of them. It feels like a family environment. They are all so pleasant and I have comfort in knowing I can see Dr. Lakshman for my trigger thumb, if needed. They will go above and beyond to fit me in his schedule. I have the utmost respect and fondness for each of them. I would highly recommend Dr. Shankar Lakshman, Pasadena Surgeons. Thank you.

I never thought I'd be one for a mommy makeover but after meeting Dr. Lakshman and his wonderful staff, I felt more confident with the whole idea. I urge you to put Pasadena Surgeons on your list to visit. It's been almost a year now since I had my surgery and I LOVE the way I "feel" and getting dressed every day is PURE joy! It has changed my whole mindset on life. I really invested in me and I'm not going to put my investment to waste. I got a healthy mind, body, and soul. When you make this type of investment, you really start to be mindful of the food you eat and becoming fit and strong. Total game changer! Everyone at Pasadena Surgeons has become life long friends because of the personal care each staff member gave me. Thank you, Pasadena Surgeons, for a new beginning at 50! Happy mom = happy family.
