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.

Fat transfer to Under Eyes
Telehealth
Dr. Chris is the best! I had fat transfer to the lower eye and smile lines. I have a wedding in a few weeks and desperately needed a face refresh. I had deep dark circles under my eyes and deep smile lines with an overall sunken look. He worked a miracle. I live in LA where there are surgeons on every corner but I flew to Chicago for his expertise. Three years ago he performed a breast revision and worked a miracle. I'm still in awe at his work. My breasts are now perfect. With my eyes, he facetimes beforehand and the day before the scheduled procedure, he examined me and decided on a course of action. The procedure was easy and he worked another miracle. I look fifteen years younger and am now ready to greet my wedding guests and take pictures. I love him, he's the best! I plan on flying back next year for whatever else I need done. He's a true gem with magical hands.

In the Hands of a Master
Dr. Pelletiere is an 'artist'. I had a neck lift done two months ago and I am VERY pleased. First of all there was minimal discomfort and the doctor was with me every stop of the way. The scars are very faint and since I have short hair they cannot be covered by hair. My hairdresser even said that the scars were hardly visible (unless you look as though through a magnifying glass) you can hardly see them. Nobody has noticed anything (which is a good thing). My neck looks so much better and I look younger and now look as young as I feel.

Breast Augmentation
Dr. Pelletier was very professional and did not rush me. He was very honest and answered all my questions. The results were exactly what I wanted. I had lost a lot of weight and was very self conscious. He is the best and so glad I went to him. Several people recommended him to me and I have already sent others to him.

Breast Augmentation! Amazing!
I've been looking into Breast Augmentation for years now, I was referred by a family member, I live 6 hours from his office and after a couple emails and talking to his staff I new this is where I wanted to go. After meeting him in person I was extremely happy and excited to have my procedure done by him. I have 490 cc UTM and couldn't have asked for a better doctor for my care. Even being far away he still takes great of his patients. I'm 3 weeks post op and loving them so much! They feel great and look amazing. I was off work for 6 days and returned with no issues. Any questions I have he has been there the whole time responding as if I'm his only patient. My coworkers are amazed at my fast recovery and the excellent care I receive. This experience from the beginning has been amazing! I can't thank Dr. Pelletiere and his staff enough for the excellent care I am receiving.

Exceptional
I had breast cancer and my breast surgeon highly recommended Dr. Pelletiere for the plastic surgery segment of my treatment. Great recommendation. Dr. Pelletiere explained everything well to me, he has the best bedside manner, and he instilled calm into my journey. Dr. Pelletiere is smart, well educated, competent and talented. He placed my expanders prior to reconstruction and then placed my implants. I had the utmost confidence in Dr. Pelletiere so in addition to my reconstruction, I added a tummy tuck and arm lift. I’m very happy with the results and the extra procedures were a great gift to myself after my cancer treatment. New lease on life! Dr. Pelletiere’s office staff is super nice. A good experience all the way around. I’m appreciative.

I had the best experience with Dr. Christopher Pelletiere! He made me feel comfortable and took the time to fully explain everything to me for my augmentation. He showed me the different implants so I could feel them and get a visual. I live out of town, and he let me send in pictures instead of having me drive 3 hours for a follow up consultation. That was super convenient so I wouldn't have to take off work! The staff is all so friendly there. They treated me like a real person, instead of just another patient. Doctors always say to call after surgery if there's any questions, but you never get through to the actual doctor. Thats not the case for Dr. Pelletiere. I thought I had done something to my implant and when I called, he took the time to listen to my concern and helped me understand that what I was feeling was normal. His staff had given me a paper for pre-op steps listed out, and also a paper for post-op steps listed out. Those papers were extremely helpful in telling me whic

I have seen Doctor Christopher Pelletiere two times for Breast Augmentation surgery. Both times he exceeded my expectations above and beyond. He is so thorough with his consultations that he almost leaves you with zero questions left to ask. He is a great listener and pays attention to every detail. He is confident, caring, has amazing bedside manner, and you can tell he truly cares about his patients and his work. I never once had any feeling of doubts or concerns. I can’t explain enough how AMAZING of a job he did on both of my surgeries. I’m constantly receiving compliments, and will never stop raving about him and referring all of my clients and friends. Every person I know who has seen Dr. Christopher for surgery have experienced nothing less of what my own personal experience. I will never trust another surgeon other than him. I mean it, and stand by it when I say he is the BEST around. Call and set up a Consult, you will not Regret it !!

Super happy with Dr. Chris Pelletiere. I got my breast implants removed by him and I couldn’t be happier. I am VERY impressed with the incisions that already looked phenomenal after just 1 week post op. He was very informative and answered all my questions without a problem. He also responded very quickly to my email regarding following questions I had after the procedure. I would for sure recommend him to anyone and I will go back to him for a lift in the future.

I waited years and went to numerous consultations with other doctors regarding breast augmentation before finding Dr. Pelletiere. My friend had recommended him and after my consultation, I knew I had found the surgeon for me. He relieved all my concerns and the staff prepared me for surgery day. Surgery went quickly and I love my results! He listened to what I wanted, evaluated my body, and delivered the best results for my figure. I never felt “stupid” calling and asking any questions either, great doctor and great staff!

My experience with Dr. Chris Pelletiere was nothing short of amazing! He was the third plastic surgeon I visited, and my last! Once I sat down with Dr. Pelletiere I knew he was who I would schedule with. Dr. Pelletiere was very knowledgeable and takes him time to explain not only your options and the procedure, but the science and medical information regarding a breast augmentation. I had no questions at the end of the appointment simply because Dr. Pelletiere was so present at my consultation that he covered everything I would have needed to ask. I would have scheduled that very second if I didn't want to go home and talk to my husband first. I called within 2 hours of my consultation and scheduled. Dr. Pelletiere was available by email at all hours with any questions I came up with. I was nervous for actual surgery and being put to sleep/sedated and he reassured me I would be okay and I felt nothing less that 100% comfortable and trusting in his knowledge and care.

I also had 2 other friends that got their boobs done by him in the past as well and they both are extremely happy with their results. Me and my one friend did silicone and the other has saline implants. He does the best.

Excellent service by office staff. They are friendly which makes it easy to make appointments, and the office visits are always on time-no long sitting time in their beautiful waiting room. He listens and provides feedback that is best for your situation. For me, Dr. Pelletiere was very understanding and detailed with information to provide the best care/solution to my breast cancer reconstruction. I am very pleased with my results and look forward to more services in the near future. I highly recommend him! CBM

Dr. Pelletiere and his staff are amazing. I had a great experience during my consultation - he made me feel very comfortable and was able to answer all my questions. After my initial consultation I still had a few questions in regards to the breast implant options we had discussed during my consultation, so I sent an email and Dr. Pelletiere personally responded to my email. He was able to answer all my questions and offered another consultation visit to discuss the options again in person, which I thought was great. It really shows that he cares about his patients and wants to make sure that all questions are answered. My procedure day went great and recovery was better than I had expected. I am 3 months post surgery and I couldn't ask for better results. Dr. Pelletiere definitely gave me the final results that I was looking for and I could not be happier with my end results!

I've never been quite satisfied with the size or asymmetry of my breasts, so I've always wanted bigger, more even breasts to feel more proportional. No one else in my family has had plastic surgery, so I was very hesitant to go through with this procedure. After completing months of research to find an excellent surgeon, I'm so happy I found Dr. Pelletiere. I was very, very picky and particular, but he had the best before & after pictures and reviews. When I finally had my first consultation, I noticed how patient, personable, and caring he was. Although I did a lot of research, he still described everything to me in great depth, which established a level of comfort and trust that I needed. I had so many concerns and questions about the procedure, but he was very knowledgable and put me at ease. When I showed him my "wish pictures," he seemed to share the same view of what "good-looking, natural" breasts would look like on my body. I'm 3 weeks post-op but love my results already.
