Imagine Plastic Surgery Center: Robert A. Hardesty's Online Review Report Card

My experience with Dr.Hardesty and his teamIt has taken me a while to write this review because I wanted to wait for my complete recovery and final results of my breast augmentation procedure. (I got my procedure done December 2020)During my research phase, I contacted and visited over ten plastic surgeons clinics in and out of state. Dr.Hardesty's extensive experience and expertise, along with a fantastic team, made me feel confident about my choice.    Elizabeth was my initial contact from Dr.Hardesty's clinic. She was kind and friendly,  prompt in calling me back,  clear about the steps to have my initial consultation, answered my questions with precision, and disclosed price and possible discounts in the first call.  Due to covid, my first appointment with dr. Hardesty was via the Internet, which allowed him to instruct me using media, images, and written instructions. He provided me with his opinion but never pushed me in any direction. Dr.Hardesty assured me that they were there to help me achieve what I wanted by using his expertise and care.  Looking back, everything that he told me I was going to feel or think about my changed body was spot on. Elizabeth and the team kept me updated and sent me all the information I needed to know before coming to my pre-op appointment and surgery.  I was given clear directions on what to do and when ( start the right multivitamin, take COVID test, call the surgery center, start pre-op washes, get all the necessary medication,  take the anti-nausea med, dietary recommendation for after surgery...). I also want to recognize the nurses who met with me and were kind, knowledgeable, and patient. (Especially my former student Melissa! )On the day of my procedure, the team at the Surgery Center was outstanding! They made sure I was comfortable and checked on me often while waiting to go in.  After Dr. Hardesty came in and gave me last-minute instructions,  he offered a prayer for guidance. That made my heart and spirit feel at peace. Though I chose to get this done, it still can be a little scary at the moment of surgery. The surgery went smooth, and soon a nurse was wheeling me out to my husband. Following Dr.Hardesty's post-op instructions was key to my recovery and achieving my final results ( diet, medication, massage, rest...).  The next day I had my post-op appointment, and he made sure that everything was the way it should be.  At all times, they followed the safety protocols in place due to COVID. But I have complete confidence that they operate at a high level of safety protocols all the time. As I attended my appointments, they addressed my concerns and questions as my body kept changing and adjusting to the implants.  Also, the surgery center followed up on my recovery. In January, I had my last appointment with Dr. Hardersty, and we were able to look at my before and after pictures. What a difference!Especially now that I am completely healed, I love the final result and how my body looks. I am so grateful that I chose Dr.Hardesty and his team to achieve a long-awaited dream. Based on my experience, if you are considering breast augmentation, I highly recommend Dr.Hardesty and his team.

Very friendly staff. Extremely thorough and they answered all my questions. Dr. Hardesty gives his personal phone number to his patients to contact him post surgery. Dr. Hardesty took his time with me on my consultation & my pre-op appointment. Would highly recommend.

I got a breast augmentation back in October 2020 and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I made my appointment to the surgery to post op appointments I was extremely satisfied. The staff and and Dr. Hardesty are awesome and I definitely recommend him. I am about 6 1/2 months post op and I love my results. I got 375 cc’s and did silicone implants behind the muscle. I was about a 32B and now I’m about a D cup. The recovery has gone pretty smoothly and I haven’t had any problems. The pain was minimal and I opted for a pain pump so that helped lower the pain as well. Dr. Hardesty really cares about his patients and is very honest and down to earth. I recommend him to all my friends and family that are thinking of getting a breast augmentation. I had 3 consults and he was by far my favorite. He made me feel so comfortable and answered all my questions. If you’re thinking of getting a breast augmentation he definitely should be on your list of doctors to see.

My experience is with Botox by the RN's.  I have been getting Botox for 15 years from a dermatologist who has always done a good job and is very detailed, but has no personality, so I decided to try elsewhere.  The RN's that do the Botox at this office are very nice, but my Botox results were less than satisfactory.  My eyelids appeared heavy and I lost my high arch after the 1st treatment.  After 2 weeks, I went back to express my issues and get a touch up.  I am still left with a flatter brow arch than what I had before and heavy, uneven eyelids due to the brow drop.  The touch up didn't fix it either.  Very disappointed that I paid money to look more tired after the Botox, when normally I looked refreshed.  They definitely weren't as detailed as to the Botox placement as my other Doctor, who actually marks it on a facial diagram that he keeps in my file, so he knows where he injected and where to adjust if needed.  On a positive, the RN's are down to earth and the Botox is a reasonable price, although I'm willing to pay more for a better result.

From the consultation all the way through, the staff and Dr. Hardesty have been great. Dr. Hardesty is a professional in his craft and I am very happy with my results. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else for any cosmetic procedures.

I have wanted a breast augmentation for the past 10 years or so & I finally decided to go for it. Since COVID-19 has impacted in person visits I was not able to visit several different surgeons offices to do a ton of consultations so I hit Google, Facebook, Instagram, & Realself and did a TON of research on different plastic surgeons.Dr. Hardesty stood out to me the most. He has over 30 years experience, is a board certified surgeon, an attending who teaches residents, was the chief of plastic surgery at Loma Linda University, and a medical school professor. After reading so many positive reviews and reviewing his resume, I knew I wanted to book a consultation with him.I did a virtual consultation and it went wonderfully. Dr. Hardesty was so informative, helpful and knowledgeable. I instantly knew Dr. Hardesty was my guy! I scheduled my surgery right away. My pre-op appointment was super easy and I was able to try on different implants to see what I thought would be best for me. I felt very comfortable & ready for my actual surgery day.On the day of surgery Dr. Hardesty was incredibly kind, patient, and even prayed over me before my surgery. He made me feel 100% at ease. I am now about 4 weeks post-op and I am SOOOOO HAPPY with my results!!! The only 'negative' to this whole experience was after my virtual consultation I wanted to actually have my surgery right away because I was so excited and felt so confident i had made the right decision. Since Dr. Hardesty is SO good AND highly desired, my surgery date was about 2 months after my virtual consultation. Honestly though, this gave me even more reassurance I was going with the right doctor. You want a surgeon who is highly desired and fully booked! It is a sign of good work! Thank you Dr. Hardesty and Staff. You are all amazing.If you are on the fence about having a breast augmentation, I say call Dr. Hardesty's office go for it! The only regret you will have is you didn't do it sooner ;)I am 5 3” - 112 lbs Female & got 345cc/375cc moderate gummy saline. I’m now a 34C.*I posted this under my hubby’s gmail. That’s why it’s a males name.
