What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 14 Google reviewsDr. Batal is the best. I originally went to him for a tummy tuck, best decision I've ever made, it was life changing for me. Then I went back a year later for breast augmentation. Both procedures went well, recovery was easy and I would highly recommend Dr. Batal to anyone. I've already had friends use him for other procedures and they're happy with their results as well.
I had a wonderful experience at Dr. Batal’s Tarzana office. Everyone from the front desk staff to Dr. Batal himself was professional, friendly and made me feel very comforted when they saw I was nervous about my procedure. They put my concerns at ease. Regarding my procedure, I could not be happier. It was a part of my body I had been unhappy with for years, and I feel so confident now. I was given proper meds to take before and after to reduce pain and the staff called me to ensure I was feeling ok following the procedure. They also called for me for follow-up appointments with Dr. Batal. He was very kind and I felt he truly listened and addressed all of my concerns. I never felt like he was rushing me. I appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell me or try to get me to add on additional procedures. I felt he was honest and this is why I referred a friend to him who was also very happy with the outcome.
