Dr. Kaplan was an absolute dream to work with! He was authentic, warm and beyond professional. I can’t recommend him or Alexus Surgery / MD more. Also, their office and brand new building is just immaculate. I will be a forever client!

I cannot begin to express my appreciation for Dr. Kaplan and his wonderful staff! He is genuine, knowledgeable, and always made me feel comfortable throughout my experience. I initially saw Dr. Kaplan after seeing his natural results. I recommend him to anyone looking for a great plastic surgeon!

Dr. Alexander is not only a very talented plastic surgeon, he is a kind and honest person as well. I had several opinions from four well known doctors about my sagging upper eyelids. Dr. Alexander was my choice. I found his approach to my concerns conservative and minimalistic . It was exactly what I wanted and needed to hear. His stuff was easy to talk to and very sweet to me. The procedure went fast, painless and I was sent home with a new pair of eyes. I cannot tell you enough how much I love them after about 6 weeks after I had it done! I look restful, younger and feel great! A full recovery takes time but the results are wonderful. Dr. Alexander is a true artist in what he does! Take my advice and let him help you.

If you are considering a procedure or surgery I highly recommend Dr Alexander. He’s amazing and caring, has a wonderful “bedside” manner and actually called and text messaged me after my surgery! The staff are trained professionals and are quick to answer calls and questions no matter what time of day! Cynthia was an absolute blessing through this whole experience. I live in Florida and flew out to San Diego to have laser on my face and chest along with an upper/lower Bleph, neck/face lift and earlobe reduction. He was recommended to me by friends and I’m so grateful that they encouraged me to see him. Dr Alexander is an artist and made me look 10-15 years younger without making me look like I had anything done. I look so natural that my closest friends couldn’t tell that I had work done….they said I look “rested” and happy
🙂

I am so grateful to Dr. Alexander. After having kids and breastfeeding, I had lots of stretch marks and the shape of my breast changed dramatically. I had a “Mommy makeover” a tummy tuck and breast augmentation and I now feel I have the best body ever. My surgery had no complications, the after care was easy and the support from Dr. Alexander and staff was phenomenal. I decided to do the surgery with him after three of my friends had surgeries there. After seeing their results, I knew I was in the best hands in San diego. I am just asking myself, why i didn’t do it before.

Dr. Alexander is absolutely amazing as is his staff. I had a “Quick Lift” done and am incredibly happy with the results. I look 10 years younger and did not even need to take a pain pill. Dr. Alexander even came in the office on Saturday of a holiday weekend to take my stitches out and called me at home to check on me after the surgery. His nurse and staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. I was told exactly what to expect and now look refreshed and love that when I ask for my senior discount, no one believes me. Dr. Alexander is the best. I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone who wants to erase the years and be given all the time and attention and reassurance that is needed when plastic surgery is being considered.

Had a face lift done by someone else and still wasn’t happy about the outcome of my neck! Dr. Alexander gave me a “Gentle Lift” to my lower face and it turned out great! Very happy with his work. He has also in past done some other procedures to me. All came out great! He’s the go-to best surgeon!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Alexander for several years. I have observed during that time a very caring and personable Doctor. My experiences have been all positive. I recently had a treatment at his skin care treatment office. The staff there were warm and friendly. This establishment answers all of your questions and concerns that helps you participate to achieve your goals. You realize Nina the Esthetician is really skilled at her craft. She has the ability to calm and relax you with her charming personality. The chief of operations Cynthia a very warm and pleasant woman welcomes you with a big smile and offers you your favorite drink. She is a wealth of information and decodes the numerous treatments. You leave this office feeling like a VIP person.

Dr. Alexander is nicest, most talented, down to earth plastic surgeon, listens to your needs, his work is beautiful, stressfree environment makes you feel relaxed. The vertical deep plane facelift produces amazing results! Jolie is amazing to work with! His whole staff! My whole experience and results so amazing!! I would do it over again!!

Outstanding in every way. Monica has tremendously improved the look and feel of my skin and Taylor keeps it looking that way with her incredible facials! Both are genuinely sweet and extremely knowledgeable! The products they suggested (and I now use religiously) have been a game changer. As an added bonus, their facilities are stunning in design! I look forward to every visit!

First I had a Halo laser to my face neck and chest.
The people were so experienced and knowledgeable.
Very calming procedure. And NO PAIN!!!
The staff is exceptional.
I could tell they were really trying to help me with my concerns.
I highly recommend the Halo laser.
So effective and really no pain and very short down time.

Then Dr Alexander was able to fit me into his busy schedule to help with my turkey neck and jowl line.
He fit me in because I told him we were leaving on a cross country trip in our travel trailer.

The postop care from his staff was exceptional!!

And Dr Alexander told me to call him with any concerns and he would even meet me at the surgicenter on the weekends if necessary.

My last facelift with Dr Alexander was in 2012.
When I had lost a lot of weight. 70 lbs.

It lasted beautifully until winter of 2020, when I lost more weight due to covid.
That’s a very long time for a facelift to still be effective.

Dr Alexander had told me before my first surgery in 2012 that I would still continue to age normally. Just 10 years behind.
So he tells you the truth.

I worked as an RN.
One morning after I had worked (2) 16 doubles in a row on a weekend, my fellow nurses took a picture of me from a site that tells you how old you LOOK.

It showed that I looked 45.
I was 64 at the time.

Dr Alexander’s skill is amazing. It never looks like a
‘facelift’.
It looks natural.
I just look ‘refreshed’.
Gets rid of the haggard look.

I highly recommend Dr Alexander and his staff.
Don’t settle for ‘cheaper’ procedures.
You may be sorely sorry if you do.

Dr. Alexander’s consultation was very thorough and I always appreciate his expertise, patient rapport, and the close personal attention that his gives to every patient. Everyone I know that either works for Dr. Alexander or has been a patient of his , has the highest respect and appreciation for him.

My experience at Alexus Surgery Center was nothing short of 10 stars. I know that people in general can be a little nervous going in for surgery; however, everyone here made me feel completely safe and at ease. From the nurses to the anesthesiologist, all were so kind and knowledgeable. I have worked in the industry for 9 years, and have to say, this facility is the most aesthetically pleasing and state of the art location in San Diego. A very nice place to wake up from surgery!

Alexus Med Spa is incredibly amazing. I have gone there about 4 times already and the staff and the service is impeccable. Go see DARCY DUFFIN. She is absolutely amazing. She takes pride in her work, pays attention to every single detail, makes you feel safe and gorgeous after I leave. Her attention to detail gives you the perfect result every single time. Again, DARCY DUFFIN! ❤️

I first saw Dr. Alexander Sr., who had the reputation as the finest surgeon in town, when I was a young woman over thirty years ago. When his son, Dr John Alexander II joined his father, the tradition of excellence continued along with state of the art innovations. There truly is no finer surgeon, surgery facility, or staff. Dr Alexander is an artist yet very conservative in his approach. Most of his nurses and staff have been with him for years. There are many surgeons in town, but for comfort, confidence, integrity, and absolutely natural results there is no surgeon who compares to Dr. Alexander.

Having been a patient of Dr.John Alexander Sr for more than three decades. I can say without reservation..I love Dr.A senior & his son Dr.A does not disappoint.Carrying on the legacy of excellence expected from Dr Alexander. Afforded both father & son working in concert for a long number of years before Dr.A senior retired. Dr.Alexander & his wonderful surgery center is the only surgery center I will ever have “freshen up” my look. Dr.Alexander is wonderful..Considering having a little work done? Looked no further..Dr.Alexander is simply the finest plastic surgeon, what ever your needs may be. Striving for & accomplishing a natural result. His caring staff is great as well..sensitive to the needs of each & every patient. Drs. Alexander are simple the finest surgeons I have ever seen. Fondly..Victoria McCullough

I had a wonderful facial from Leann! I enjoyed my experience with her and am looking forward to my next treatment. I also had botox done by Darcy. She is very good and knowledgeable. She made my experience enjoyable! I will definitely be back!

Dr. Alexander is the absolute best surgeon in town. He is a perfectionist and pure artist! His bedside manner in impeccable!

Plastic Surgery Experience with Dr. John Alexander – Alexander Cosmetic Surgery

I am a 67-year-old Caucasian male who used the services of Dr. John Alexander at Alexander Cosmetic Surgery in February 2018. I received a necklift and lower face lift to remove a large amount of excess skin and to tighten the remaining skin. Over the past year I had lost 65 lbs. through diet and exercise. My health greatly improved but my weight reduction resulted in my neck and lower face having this excessive skin problem.
I approached Dr. Alexander for consultation in November 2017 to discuss my problem. He recommended a surgical procedure to reduce and tighten my neck and lower face as my best option. Dr. Alexander stated that my condition was very common, and his practice performs this surgery almost every day. In addition, Dr. Alexander is extremely confident in his abilities and a very communicative person who wants you to understand all aspects of this surgery. When my discussion was finished, I knew that I had chosen the right doctor for my surgery.
My surgery date was in February 2018 and the outcome was extremely successful. I was surprised that I only had 1 day of pain after the surgery as I expected a couple of painful days. Also, as Dr. Alexander had described, I did have numbness and tightness around the surgical areas which dissipated over time. The swelling on my face and neck from the surgery went down after 1 week and I could resume work after 2 weeks.
In summary, everything that Dr. Alexander told me to expect was correct and there were no surprises. The team at Alexander Cosmetic Surgery is exceptional. They want you to be comfortable and have all your questions/issues addressed. I feel blessed and honored that I found Dr. Alexander. I see his results everyday when I look in a mirror. If you are considering a plastic surgery procedure, please go for a consultation with Dr. Alexander to understand your options.

I found Dr. Alexander through a referral from my dermatologist. She said she has seen many examples of his excellent work, all looking very natural. Not only is he a perfectionist and an absolute artist, his bedside manner and staff could not have been more comforting and professional. I had a upper and lower blepharoplasty. My eyes have healed beautifully and his follow-up and responsiveness is extraordinary. He offers a comprehensive consultation and after are. He is extremely conservative in his approach. In this entire year no one has ever asked me if I had work done, they just say I look like I’ve had a long restful vacation and look very refreshed, what did I do? At 56 years old that is quite the compliment. Went back to him for a Phenol peel and again, an extraordinarily wonderful and professional experience. Perfect place to go to rejuvenate and refresh your self. Highly recommend Dr. Alexander.

I have been a patient of Dr. John T. Alexander II, for 20 years, and 3 surgical procedure;, receiving exceptional care and results! His process and care is seamless through each touch point of his Cosmetic Surgery practice from scheduling, patient consultation, & surgery, to post-op, follow-up, and additionally through his Alexander Skin Care services. With each surgery, I had 100% confidence in Dr. Alexander–a detailed perfectionist, his anesthesiologist, and team of nurses, knowing I was in good hands and being well taken care of. I appreciate Dr. Alexander’s point of view and approach to maintain ones God given beauty by conservatively refining for natural and refreshed results.
Thank You, Dr. Alexander and your fabulous Team!

I recently had a wonderful facial appointment at the skin care office. I was treated in a way that made me feel like I was truly cared for, from everyone to Val who checked me in to Cynthia (the Chief of Operations) to Nina who treated me to a fantastic service. I can’t wait to go back! Such a pleasure to be taken care of and to know that you’re in great hands. Thank you, Ladies, for everything you do! Hope to see you soon!!!
