Restore SD Plastic Surgery: Katerina Gallus, MD, FACS

One of the most amazing and professional experience I’ve ever had at a plastic surgery clinic. Dr. Gallus and her lovely staff were very welcoming and super supportive in my journey. I had no complications right after surgery even right after going under general anesthesia. Never felt sick and recovery was very easy and super quick. She uses both a holistic and conventional method and the experience was top notch from start to finish! The office is always clean and beautifully decorated and never have I experienced any issues with parking. I highly recommend Dr. Gallus and wish her and her team much success!

I have to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding care and professionalism your office and the team provided throughout my treatment. From the initial consultation set up by Ava, who was so sweet and so professional. To the pre operative and post-operative follow-up visits and education with Isela. Your expertise, compassion, and attention to detail made all the difference in my experience and recovery. In addition, I was always greeted with a warm smile from Cinthia at the front desk. The whole staff really treated me like family. I never felt uncomfortable. Rachel was my surgical nurse, and she was exceptional. Her calm demeanor relaxed me and put me at ease when I was going into surgery very anxious. AND of course, I can't say enough about Dr. Gallus. Thank you for listening to my resquest and needs and making a very stressful situation, (due to implant rupture) very smooth . Dr Gallus made me feel like I was her only patient and treating me with such kindness and respect. I truly appreciate the time, amazing skills and dedication you bring to your patient as well as your office staff, and it is i felt through every clinician I met in this office. What an amazing crew! I am so happy with my outcome. Thank you so much to The Restore Team! If you're reading this review and considering Dr. Gallus, I say just do it. I did all the research for you, and she is top notch, Board Certified knowledgeable and compassionate surgeon. You will not be disappointed. Schedule your evaluationand see for yourself. I am a real patient here from Florida, and this is a real testimonial/patient review. This is something I never do but due to my amazing experience, I just had to.

My experience with Restore Plastic Surgery, Dr. Gallus and her staff has been great! I had a breast explant and scar revision in December. My surgery went so well and my recovery has been a piece of cake. Dr. Gallus did such an incredible job! I honestly think I look better now with the implants removed and my lift and scars revised. I couldn’t be happier! I have also been receiving laser scar therapy with Isela RN. She is so sweet and pleasant to work with! My scars looks amazing! I am so happy. Also, Cinithia at the front desk is always so sweet and welcoming. Ava, the patient care coordinator, was also amazing! She explained everything and got my surgery scheduled within just a couple weeks of my first appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Gallus and Restore Plastic Surgery!!! They are great!

i came to sd restore for a consultation with dr. gallus last august. she was extremely unprofessional and asked me a very inappropriate question. she giggled while asking me if i was part of the adult video industry(p^rn) because she thought that was why i was inquiring about a specific surgery. that question made me extremely uncomfortable and i almost wanted to cry. after this, i left her a 1 star review with no explanation so she called me and acted confused as to why i did that and when i told her, she tried to change her words and say she was implying that i was a model which is completely untrue because i remember her exact words very clearly and those were not it. dr. gallus then apologized repeatedly to me on the phone but it was obvious she only did that because she was hoping that i would take down the 1 star review but i didn’t and i won’t. once she realized the review was staying up, she had her team reply to it a few days later stating her certifications, experience and the number of surgeries she’s performed which doesn’t even matter if she lacks professionalism, empathy and reassurance. i’m updating my review because whenever i think about this consultation, i still get very bothered by it. it took a lot for me to go in there for a consultation and i left feeling disrespected and defeated. it is not ok for a plastic surgeon to ask that type of question and its insulting to me as a person because i would never do anything like that. i think it is very self-degrading so the fact that she felt comfortable enough to ask me that question and thought there was a chance i’d say yes made me feel extremely disrespected and offended. with all that being said, i highly recommend and encourage you all to explore your options and go to other consultations before settling on this surgeon just because she’s a female. i ended up having the surgery elsewhere with a male plastic surgeon and he made me feel way more comfortable than dr. gallus ever did. i have no regrets about seeking the surgery with him i’m so happy with my results and i’m so glad i chose to trust and proceed with him.

I can’t say enough great things about Restore! I first connected with Dr. Chao for an ear lobe repair. I’m only 6 weeks post-op and they are healing to perfection. I am so thankful to her and the team for making the process easy, painless, and supportive. Dr. Chao even texted me later that day after the procedure to check in, which I thought was so sweet. Next, I received a Diamond Glow facial with Cinthia and I am beyond happy! My skin feels so fresh and clean. So thankful to the Restore team and would recommend them for all your beauty needs.
