Viva Wellness Medical Groups

Love Dr. Micheal, he does such a great job. I was very comfortable.

Very frustrating experince with the doctor. He spent 5-10 minutes with me, giving me 2 options for weight loss: a shot per month for the price of $1000 a month or a very restrictive diet that I could have easily found on the web. He proceeded to tell me I got the appointment on the wrong time (I was on time and the appointment was given by the practice), he did not apologize.

He asked me to maybe come back after 2:30 (what about my work, my children care, my otherd appointments?), and he litterally showed me the door, locking it after I was out. I'd like to mention too that between staff care and seen the doctor, I had to wait a looooong time. I felt they forgot about me. In fact at one point a lady came out of a door and asked me what I was doing there.

I was surprised. The other staff lady had stepped out. I was the only patient for the all time I was here. The same long wait when the doctor went to find a copy of the restrictive diet. I am insulted, and disappointed. On the upper side staff was ok, place was clean, parking was easy to find. Happy lost of people like this doctor, not me. As soon as I got home I called a friend snd we wrote down point by poit what I have experienced. I would give 0 star as the doctor show 0 concern for my wellbeing and 0 empathy.

Today I had my first visit and I'd definitely recommend it. Staff was kind & helpful, doctor made me feel comfortable and I was in and out fast! Plenty of free parking, easy to navigate and the office is clean and quiet. I'm visiting for a medical weight loss plan (phentermine) and I'm excited to keep coming back regularly to reach my goals at this office.

They also offer a wide range of cosmetic products and procedures that I might look into to reward myself as I succeed on my weight loss plan :) Thank you, Doctor Michael & staff!

Always a pleasure coming here. Girls have been so helpful and easy going during my year coming here. I can not see myself going anywhere else. My friends talked me into trying anti aging regiment and I honestly can say I have no complaints

UPDATE. I just want to take a moment to thank the great folks at Viva Wellness for maintaining such great customer service and medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic! My overall health actually improved during the pandemic. The glutathione and vitamin injections along with a healthy lifestyle have helped me maintain optimal health despite COVID-19 and all the associated stressors. In addition, the staff at Viva Wellness continues to be super friendly and helpful every time I visit. Keep up the good work! Thanks again! Gary Youssef Jr

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value I have been coming to viva wellness for many years and services and Dr. Michael Tachuk has always delivered professional and excellent care. His staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. I have referred many friends to Dr. Tachuk and I wish them many more years of great services to deliver to our community

LOVE LOVE - Very Affordable, professional medi spa. I love the variety of new services. Dr. Michael has a very good eye for symmetry translation= you will get superb fillers in your lip, cheeks, etc. I am so very happy I found Viva wellness.

Had some concerns regarding a filler that I had done by Dr M. It was a filler that I have been doing at another plastic surgeons office for years. The questions were regarding the placement of the filler, and why the injection sites were completely asymmetrical. I had lumps and swelling in locations that I should not have had, even though the injection was done with a cannula, (which I am also familiar with).

I sent a detailed email and text, and a week later, still no response. Please don't go to this place if you expect any follow up concerns addressed. Ridiculous, and I am sure the office would blame it all on Covid. Also, the location is located right next to an area with a large population of homeless, they are everywhere around and in front of the building.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value I have been seeing Dr. Michael for over 10 years. He is the best at what he does and provides services that are careful and never rushed and personal.

They put thru my CARE CREDIT charge incorrectly, and i am being charged interest. ISABELLA has blown me off, told me she would get it corrected. NEVER HAPPENED. Spoke with Dr. T and he said 'ISABELLA WILL CALL YOU BACK AND GET IT CORRECTED". NEVER HAPPENED. Called back spoke with ISABELLA again, she is now blaming it on Dr. T, told me "HE WILL CALL YOU BACK."NEVER HAPPENED! Isabella is rude, and rarely answers the phone. This place used to be good at old location. Dr. T has lost a lot of business INCLUDING MINE! Go elsewhere.

I've been getting lip fillers here for over 2 years. And counting! I love my lips i always get compliments. I'm pretty much addicted. I'm always treated well here and the appointment scheduling is super easy and I love i can do it online.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Value Do not go to Viva Wellness. The staff was so unprofessional. They took my BP and weight in the lobby. Later, when I called the office with some questions about side effects, the doctor hung up on me. Don't waste your time and money by going to Viva Wellness.

Previously I left him 5 stars because he was the only doctor in SD who would do my lip fillers while I was 17. During the pandemic when I visited, there was a long line out the door. "All these people before me can't possibly be getting fillers?" I thought because it would take too long and my appointment was soon. Turns out they weren't getting filler, majority of them were actually getting Xanax prescriptions.

He sat with each of them for about a minute before handing out prescriptions. Funny because I don't remember that being advertised on the website. Anyways, he did a non surgical nose job on me and it looked great! However I went back to him a few weeks ago for some lip filler and they turned out terrible, I now have lumpy lopsided lips. I decided to give him one more chance and went back today for some more nose filler.

After waiting a half hour after my appointment was supposed to be I find out he doesn't even have any filler in stock. I think someone should have reached out before the appointment to let me know considering I made this in advance. Super unprofessional and unorganized lately. If your looking for a Xanax prescription then great, but if your looking to get cosmetic procedures id recommend going somewhere else.

I have tried calling the phone number provided for 2 days to cancel and re-schedule BUT absolutely no response. This very unprofessional for an unacceptable for an as a business that provides this services or any services not replying to my VM. I just wanted a few questions answered. What a joke of a "Wellness " office.

Dr. Michael is amazing! He never overdoes the work-even when I think I need something more, he reigns me back in for a reality check! That is what you want as a patient-you NEVER want to look overdone.

Great clinic. Very clean and everyone was extremely professional and knowledgeable. They helped me with exactly what I came in for and answered all my questions. I left extremely satisfied and will definitely be back!

I love this place. Well I really like Dr Tachuk. He's very talented. He's a doctor for crying out loud. I'm grateful to have come across his business. I look beautiful an I feel confident an I know I'm taken care of an charged very fairly again considering there is a doctor on the premises. I found my permanent go to.

I have called twice and left messages. I have emailed through their website. I have got zero response. I just want a few quick questions answered before I book. I have tried because they are close to where I live. Too bad because I am ready to spend a lot of money. Good thing San Diego is filled with medi-spas so on to the next one.

Update your voice mail / text system and return calls if you want to keep business during the move! Your current system is NOT working out. It would be helpful if the greeting would indicate you have moved so long time existing clients dont waste time driving to a vacant office! RUDE

Although the office appears like a regular doctors office from the street- it's beyond amazing the moment you walk in! Not only is the office chic and crisp, but the exam/ procedure rooms are comfortable and not claustrophobic at all. But most important: Dr. Michael and his staff are so professional, accommodating and masters of their field. Every appointment I have ever had, I've been greeted warmly, immediately- and have been treated immediately as well.

The waiting room is beautiful but totally unnecessary! 100% efficient, professional, courteous and kind. But the 5 stars are really for the actual procedures. I will never go to another doctor for my cosmetic procedures. Dr. Michael is a savant of his trade. So grateful to have found them!

Janet Sansano RN was Amazing! Helps me through hard decisions, educate me on both parties. She A perfectionist I recommend to go to Janet! Thank you so much!

I've been coming here for years and so did my Mom before me. Great staff, friendly and professional. This is my favorite spa ever!

As a new patient I was a bit worried to try Viva Medical. My worries were unfounded. The facility was clean and top notch. The staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and taken care of. Anna did an excellent job with my Infini treatment, after a week my skin already looks better. I can't wait for my next treatment!

I absolutely love coming here to control my weight loss. The girls up front are very pleasant and kind. I get phone calls to remind me of my appointments and it has been great. I recommend!

This was my very first time getting lip fillers. Dr. Michael did an amazing job! I will definitely be coming back. He even managed to fill in my scar on my top lip.

Maxim helped me a lot within this process. The staff is very professional and clear as to how the treatment will work and how to make sure you see the best results. My visit was for the weight loss vitamin shots! Update: this place went from a 5 to a 1 really fast. I've gone here for 2 mos and have experienced them watering down their vitamin products. Also, the women who provide the shots don't know what they're doing and you're left sore for DAYS. Not recommended. Waste of money and time.

This was my third time getting my lips augmented by Janet Sansano-RN at Viva Wellness. Janet has done a wonderful job each time, my lips always turn out looking amazing. I also wanted to mention, that she really listens to what it is I want and is very experienced with injectable (in my case Juvederm & Botox), which makes me feel comfortable and therefore, I will keep coming back.

Also a big shout-out to Inna the front desk manager, she is so sweet and friendly and very knowledgeable about all cosmetic procedures. The office overall has a luxe vibe, very clean, front staff is always helpful and courteous and lastly, plenty of parking. I have been recommending Janet at Viva Wellness to my friends and family.

I made an appointment to get Botox in my forehead and frown lines at Viva Wellness Medical Group. Unfortunately, my appointment was about MORE than 40 minutes late and I got there 10 minutes early so you can imagine. I was waiting for about 50 minutes. Very frustrating and there was little explanation or apology as to why they were so behind. The gal at the front desk was so sweet. Very friendly. The waiting was just unacceptable.

This place is a hidden gem! I love going to Viva Wellness the office is always clean and the staff is always amazing Yolanda and Alicia are always so professional and friendly. They are able to get me in and out with such ease, they're very prompt and efficient. Keep up the good work girls! I highly recommend you give them a try, you'll extremely satisfied and will be a customer for life, just like me.

I had been going here for diet reasons. Last week in the office i was handled in a very unprofessional way. My reason for my visit was loudly explained in front of 3 other's waiting in the waiting room Not at the desk but, while i was sitting waiting to be seen. Won't be going back. There are so many other places's to choose from

The botox I get here works right away and I come back for upkeep every 3-4 months. The prices for botox done by a doctor is extremely inexpensive compared to other med spas done by nurses. No offense but I have had too many issues with nurses doing botox or they simply charge a lot more. The fillers are amazing for the chin and nose. I haven't tried the filler for under the eye or cheek area, yet.

I have tried the cool sculpt which I believe, really does work! It was the best price I have found in San Diego so far! I always use Dr. Michael for my services as he is very professional and cautious.
