From start to finish the entire team has been helpful, informative, efficient, kind, and a complete treat. I have wanted to get rid of my gyno for 9 years so a lot of emotional aspects were involved. They helped me feel comfortable and confident. And the results are unbelievable, day 1 and 2 post op and you would think they've already been healing for weeks. Thank you to the entire team, would recommend to anybody and everybody.

First off I want to say that from the moment I walked into Dr. Cruise office I felt welcomed. The staff was very friendly and was by my side answering any questions I had throughout the entire process. I am only 1 day post surgery but I can already tell my results are going to be great. Will definitely recommend Dr. Cruise for anyone looking to take care of their Gyno problem.

(Plz read if you are impulsive) I'm 24, 5'7 and weigh 120 pounds. Before I got a breast augmentation I was a size 32B and now I'm a 32 DDD. I got high profile silicone 450ccs under the muscle. I am an out of state client who flew in to see him. I did some research on surgeons but if I'm totally honest I just googled "Best Plastic Surgeon for breast augmentation in California" I saw Dr, Cruises office and chose them.
Didn't do any other homework. (That's a terrible idea when looking for surgeons.) When I had my consultation with Stephanie she made me feel extremely confident. She knew exactly what I wanted. We did everything over webcam. I was so excited after the consultation I asked when was the earliest I could get my surgery. I had my consultation late November early oct. and 4 weeks later Halloween night I was in California getting my breasts done.
Even though I had done minimal homework. I still looked into all the reviews, awards, and accomplishments of Dr Cruise and was throughly impressed. I thought I didn't have to do any more research because Dr Cruise had all the check marks. He's a certified plastic surgeon, he's been doing this for many years, If you look at his reviews they're all wonderful.
And what surprisingly made me feel more confident is that he has worked with burn victims before. (Idk- just made me feel like he has really intimate knowledge about what makes someone look good?) The surgery center was really nice. All the staff was professional there. Dr. Cruise said this was going to be the best day of my life. Honestly I do agree.
The first time I met Dr Cruise in person was on my surgery day. The surgery was super fast, I woke up in no pain. I could feel the scars but wasn't in pain. The only my time I cried was because I was disoriented from the anesthesia. The anesthesiologist was also very nice. Healing has been a breeze. The biggest trouble I have is realizing I need to take it easy.
My nurse told me I would be taking Tylenol for the pain. I thought yeah right crazy lady. And turns out she was totally right. I flew home two days after my surgery. Throughout the whole process it's been a breeze. My husband is even shocked it's gone this well. I asked for a number 7 on his chart and I got exactly what I asked for. My breasts look perfect.
All through the healing process I've been getting compliments. Dozens of people have told me how incredible they look. I've had people inquire who my surgeon was! Scaring is minimal. I chose to have the under breast scar. It's 5 months in and the scars look great! I use a little silicone scar stuff and they really are fading fast. Very impressed. My self confidence has also boomed through the ceiling. I truly look like the hottest lady in the room.

Where do I start with Dr. Cruise and his staff?! They were all Amazing! From start to finish, they were the best! Dr. Cruise is a true artist with that knife in his hands. I am so happy with the way the surgery turned out. HE has given me mountains of confidence with the removal of gyno. He is a true expert in the gyno field and I would recommend him and his magical hands to anybody looking to do the same!
Extremely knowledgeable about the process and how this can not only affect the physical but the mental side of it. I truly appreciate his dedication to his craft. You are the best Dr. Cruise! The rest of the staff; Stephanie, Dana, Jenny, and the rest of the wonderful ladies in the office are the best support team. They handled every question and worry I had with complete ease.
It was a pleasure working with them throughout the process! Thank you Ladies! I would recommend this surgery to any guy looking to get it done. I know that feeling of looking yourself in the mirror and feeling helpless about the gyno situation. Trust me, you'll love it

Dr. Cruise is amazingly talented. His expertise and professionalism is unparalleled to none. I underwent surgery for breast augmentation with implants and new nipple placement. Less than 24 hours after surgery, I was already blown away by the results and he said it was just going to keep getting better over the course of the year! I couldn't believe how he got the symmetry as close to 100% as possible.
He is a true visionary when it came to helping me decide sizing and placement of my breasts. He knew exactly what I wanted and what would look best for my body type. My newly found confidence is already through the roof! I had tears of joy in my eyes when those bandages came off. The office support staff are all wonderful, professional people. Stephanie is so very positive, encouraging and extremely helpful.
The nursing staff makes me feel right at home during every visit and show so much enthusiasm and encouragement every step of the way. The procedure itself went very smoothly. Dr. Cruise and the staff in the OR made me feel so comfortable, I wasn't nervous, and felt like I was in the best hands OC cosmetic surgery has to offer. The whole process has left we wondering; what procedure shall I do next? It was that easy.

If I could give Dr. Cruise and his staff MORE than five stars, I would. I am so pleased with the results of my surgery. It's three months now since I had my surgery, and I'm so very happy with the result. Dr. Cruise and his staff are very nice, and very easy to talk to - which is important when considering surgery. I got the feeling they really care about their patients and they strive to obtain the absolute best results possible.
I researched surgeons who specialize in gynecomastia surgery, and I'm so happy I chose Dr. Cruise. I've already referred a friend there and I hope he has as great of an experience as I did.

Being in the cosmetic industry for 8+ years now I can honestly say that I trust Dr. Cruise more than anyone I have worked with in the past. I have always struggled with the size of my nose and entertained the idea of having a breast augmentation. It wasn't until I worked with Dr. Cruise that I knew it was the right time for me to do both procedures.
I had consistently seen great results and knew I was in good hands and would have great follow up care. Dr. Cruise really listens to what you want and has a great eye. He also explains the process very well and gives clear expectations as to what can be achieved. Not only do I recommend him from an inside point of view but I believe in him from an outside perspective. I have sent more than one friend his way and will continue to do so. Working for him and having the pleasurable experience of being a patient makes me proud every day!

After researching many places for my surgery, I decided to go with Dr. Cruise. I found nothing but great things about him and his team and lots of personal reviews and testimonies to vouch for him. After contacting him and his team, I knew this was the best place for me. Dr. Cruise and his staff were very transparent about everything with me and the protocol for my operation.
They made me feel very comfortable about it all and gave me the details I needed. The process was extremely simple to book a time and get everything ready for my appointment. All I really had to do was show up and they handled the rest. My surgery went very well and they hooked me up with everything I needed to recover from it. Overall it was a painless and easy time for me.
I even live out of state and they made everything so simple and accommodating for me. The atmosphere and office was amazing as well. I felt very relaxed and worry free the whole time I was there. Dr. Cruise and his staff are awesome and I would highly recommend them to anyone. My only regret was not going to see them sooner. Fantastic team of people out there. 5/5 stars easy for them. Huge thanks to everyone out there who helped me along the way!

Dr. Cruise has changed my life! I have lived with protruding ears my whole life. I was bullied for many year because of it, which led to me being extremely insecure about them. For years I had been interested in having an otoplasty procedure done (pinning them back) but was very nervous that I wouldn't like the results. After months of research and going to different consultations, Dr. Cruise was the one that made me feel confident that I would love my results.
And I was right! I am so beyond grateful to Dr. Cruise for giving me a new found confidence and love for myself that I didn't know I could have. His staff is also absolutely incredible. They are all so sweet, attentive, and professional and really made the whole experience so amazing. I would 100% recommend that you go to Dr. Cruise for any and all cosmetic procedures that you're interested in!
