Dr. Lakshman is amazing at what he does. He's truly the best around. I highly recommend him!

I had my hands Dupoitren surgery (finger triggering) with Dr. Lakshman. He is an excellent surgeon. I am very impressed with his professionalism.

Dr. Lakshman is an amazing plastic Sergeon and Dr. He’s done several small offices e procedures for me such as Botox and fillers and he has done larger procedures alswell Dr.Lakshman has completely transformed my body and given me my cofidence back. He performed a full tummy tuck with 360 lipo and breast implants. He is very easy to talk to I have always been 100% comfortable with him he gives u Realistic expectations during consults and then exceeds them in the final results his staff in office are professional and very helpful before and after surgery. I highly recommend him to all those looking for a great plastic. Words can not even begin to describe how truly thankful I am. Thank you Dr.Lakshman.

I recommended to friends and family they were all thankful to meet such a caring and talented Doctor he is a pleasure to visit his office

I visited Dr Lakshman's office to have stitches removed from my chin, and he instead recommended what I am certain was unnecessary and over-the-top surgery. I got 7 stitches from the ER and thought a plastic surgeon would be the best place to go to have them removed. My dentist had seen my chin and said that I was healing nicely. Dr Lakshman, the next day, said that the ER did a "terrible job" and that my wound would "fall apart" if he took the stitches out. He said he needed to put me under anesthesia and and "clean it up" and scheduled a surgery at a surgical center. (The surgery center called me in advance-not to warn me about surgery with a concussion but to aggressively ask for my credit card.) Instead, I went to my primary care doctors office and had my stitches removed without incident. They were impressed at how well I had healed and actually commented on what a nice job the ER had done with the stitches. Nothing "fell apart" and there's hardly any scaring.

Dr Lakshman is the most professional, honest, talented and friendliest Dr I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. I initially became his patient 2 years ago when he performed a mini tummy tuck on me. Amazing work, so happy with the results. Then a year later I decided to enhanced my breast after 14 years....I love them. Dr Lakshman and staff are the friendliest office I’ve ever been to. From pre-op to post-op and years after they make you feel like a personal friend. I’ve referred several friends who also feel the same way.

I was nervous about having the tummy tuck. After talking to Dr. Lakshman ,he immediately clear up all my concerns and put me at ease. I needed very little down time to heal. Now months later I'm loving my results. Thank you Dr. Lakshman for making it a great experience for me .

Dr. Lakshman is a true professional. This was my first experience with cosmetic surgery and he was patient, warm and thorough with what was going to happen. I am beyond ecstatic with my results and will definitely go back only to him for any further treatments. He has changed my life! His office staff is also the best and I can't thank them enough for making me feel special.

I am a client of Dr Lakshman's for injectibles. He has a soft, artistic hand and impeccable bedside manner. I absolutely love my results! He listens to my requests and understands the artistry of injectibles! His staff is always kind and cordial. I highly recommend Dr L for botox or for any injectibles! I love Pasadena Surgeons!

I was referred to Dr. Lakshman by another doctor at Glendale Adventist Medical Center who said that Dr. Lakshman is the doctor she would go to if she ever needed a procedure done on her face. I like to fact that Dr. Lakshman worked with me as a cash patient and did a great job removing a wart on my face and the scar is almost undetectable. I recommend Pasadena Surgeons to anyone needing plastic or cosmetic surgery.

Got a mini TT sugury went excellent minimal to no scar......

He is the greatest in injectibles.

Just had my very first Botox injections. I was extremely nervous and am deathly afraid of needles. Dr. Lakshman put my fear at ease by explaining that they use the thinnest needles possible imported from Japan. It must have been really thin because I barely felt a thing. The procedure was less painful than a facial extraction!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Lakshman. He performed a tendon transfer on my hand a few years ago with great results. I have 100% normal use of my hand again and I didn�t think that would be possible. I was so impressed with his work that I considered no one else for cosmetic work I had done last year. Again, I couldn�t be happier with the results. Not only is Dr. Lakshman a gifted surgeon, he also takes as much time as needed to go over all aspects of the procedures and answer questions. I felt that I was well prepared for the aftermaths of both surgeries. His wife, Dr. Frenchman, is also a great doctor who quickly develops a good rapport with her patients. Together, they are a Dream Team!

I had surgery on my left thumb due to arthritis and I am so pleased with the outcome. I no longer have the daily pain and swelling on the thumb. Dr. Lakshman is a great surgeon. He explained the procedure in detail to me. He made me feel very comfortable. He is a very caring doctor. I would recommend this surgery to anyone who is suffering with this condition. No one should have to suffer . I will be honest,the recovery time is lengthy and therapy is required. But it is worth it. If anyone is looking into having this surgery, I would go see dr. Lakshman. He is great at what he does. I wish I would have known about this kind of surgery a year ago !

The procedure was handled very professionally The doctor had me stay overnight at the Verdugo hills hospital and that worked out very well the staff was fantastic. I am very happy how the doctor took care of me he did a great job I have had many compliments . Most people do not know I have had anything done most just feel I look rested.. I highly recommend this doctor for any cosmetic work . The doctor did a thorough job of explaining step by step the procedure and what I should expect prior and post op. .

Breaking my wrist and needing surgery wasn't the best news I have been told, but the procedure that Dr. Lakshman performed went better than I expected. I thought my hand would never be the same (motion, strength, etc) but it feels stronger than before. He is an excellent surgeon that has patience with his patients. I came in with a lot of questions and believe me it would have driven you crazy, but he took the time and answered every question. He also took the time to explain everything he would preform with details. I would definitely recommend a friends, family, and anyone who needs to have surgery to see Dr. Lakshman. If I break another bone or need surgery, I would definitely see Dr. Lakshman again. Also, after having the surgery, my hand does not hurt or do i have any drawbacks from surgery. I returned to my normal schedule of crazy adventures. Lets hope I don't break another bone! Overall, excellent surgeon! No pain, no scar, and full movement.

I took my son for a torn tendon in his hand. Dr. Lachman was very informative and explained what we needed done and why. My 15 year old was very at ease with him. My son had over 40 stitches on his hand and he doesn't have a scar. Office girl were also great to work with.

Last summer (2012) Dr. Lakshman re-fit the joint of my left thumb because of painful osteoarthritis. Before the surgery, he explained the procedure both verbally and through a picture he had drawn. A year later, I have no pain in my left thumb and am re-building my strength. This summer (2013) Dr. Lakshman performed the same surgery on my right thumb. Today I start Occupational Therapy and am ecstatic with my results thus far. (No joint pain) Dr. Lakshman has a peaceful air about him perhaps because of his professionalism and courteousness. This peacefulness is evident in his office and in the hospital. Several nurses made the comment, "Oh, he's a very good surgeon. I like to work with him." Good words before I go under... everybody's happy. I never thought I would write a glowing review of a doctor, but Dr. Lakshman deserves praise! I would highly recommend him as a hand surgeon.!
