Scott W Mosser, MD

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Mosser and his staff. This is some of the best medical care I have received. The administration was extremely nice to me, whenever we talked on the phone or over email I felt as if we had been long time friends. They were very kind and listened to everything I had to say and were extremely helpful. In particular, Cindy and Melissa, were super open and respectful, and always prepared.
I had a double incision ftm top surgery. I felt that Dr. Mosser and I chose this procedure together as the best one that fit for me. The hospital was a great choice as well, I felt extremely taken care of by Dr. Mosser and the Aesthetician, and the hospital staff. I didn’t have many complications, and whenever I had a question, the office and Dr. Mosser were always right there to provide support and an answer.
I would absolutely go back if I needed any other type of cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Mosser and the staff!
In addition, I am extremely happy with my results. Everything has gone really smoothly in terms of healing. I check up with Dr. Mosser every month. He is very well informed and experienced in this type of procedure.

I rarely write reviews, either good or bad ones, but that’s a matter that needs to be shared with others looking for laser treatment.
I had a 3.5 year scar, light pink, that I was tired of and wanted to see removed for good. I came to Dr Mosser’s office when his previous nurse was still there. We agreed on a BBL treatment. I ended up being abroad for work for months, and when I came back for the procedure a new nurse was there. My experience:
1. She initially charged my card $ 900 for a $ 175 procedure. Why? Because she didn’t know what I was there for. She also didn’t ask. If it was not for the card receipt, I’d have received a different treatment I didn’t need (how scary is that in a plastic surgeon’s office?).
2. After the procedure, she told me I should experience sunburn feeling and look for a week. It turned out to be much, much worse than that. Remember that nasty scab you got when you fell flat from your bike with your face on the street? That’s more like it. And it lasted for at least 3 weeks.
3. I emailed the nurse multiple times, with pictures. I showed the area to a physician friend and they were shocked. The nurse simply told me to come back for a «complimentary» micro pen treatment to remove the scar of the scar caused by the BBL.
I came for the procedure and again the nurse had no idea who I was or took the time to read my profile, she thought my scar was 3 months old and the cause of the scar was a silicon implant (?!?) The treatment was NOT complimentary as she had said it would be.
She told me I should see improvements in a week. One week in, and the scar still looks much worse than before, now it’s brownish and the skin around it is thin, like a healing from a bad burn.
I emailed her again, with another picture this week, asking for a treatment alternative, and this time haven’t heard back. Instead, got a call from their receptionist telling me she was getting back to me on a request to see Dr Mosser. I never asked to have a consultation with Dr Mosser, and felt they were trying to get more business from my situation. But she didn’t know anything. Blissfully oblivious and not caring about the human beings behind the dollar figure like everyone else there.
Now I am looking for another clinic to solve the problem, with a worse scar than before.
In sum, considering their laser services, which is what I can speak to, I absolutely DO NOT recommend them.

I had a similar experience with the unfortunate people on this site. I went in for lipo and it came out lumpy. If a doctor says he can perform the procedure, you trust that he can and has succeeded many many times prior. When dr mosser says he can he may mean that he can try but will not guarantee the result. These surgeries are expensive and if you are like me, you are not made of money. An honorable man would redo the surgery for free and pay for all of the hospital costs to reperform. And apologize for the fact that you now must take even more time off. Dr mosser is not the honorable man. Do you really want to be that 1 in 10 who has that bad experience and is out thousands of dollars and is in a worse state from when you started? I wouldn’t risk it. It’s your body not his. You have to live with his mistakes and inexperience for the rest of your life. For those of you who gave 4+ stars, lucky you. You gambled with your self and you won this time.

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t get any better than Dr. Mosser. In fact, I would bet everything I own on it.
I have had multiple surgeries with Dr. Mosser, my first one straight out of college at age 23. The procedure was something I had wanted my whole life, and in order to do it, I saved a huge percentage of my tiny starting salary and overcame nerves of having surgery in the first place. Needless to say, it was not a small investment of time, money, energy, and emotion on my part. To this day, eight years later, I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Dr. Mosser is a truly rare blend of skill and empathy. You are reminded that he is a person just like you (a feeling you do not get from other surgeons) who is dedicated to not only your safety, but achieving your desired outcomes, maintaining realistic expectations, informing you to the fullest, and being open and accessible to addressing any and all concerns you have, however small they might be.
I recently had a surgery at VISTA Surgery Center, and after the surgery thought if any part of the process could have been handled better or more smoothly. In fact, just to play Devil’s advocate, I was looking for aspects that were less than perfect. That said, I couldn’t come up with a single critique.
As long as Dr. Mosser is practicing, there is no way I will be trusting my care and outcomes to any other surgeon.

I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon/​experience. Dr. Mosser and his staff are all great and made me feel super comfortable and at ease before, during & after surgery.

Dr. Mosser and his staff are all very helpful in every way possible! I waited for a while for my surgery (ftm mastectomy double incision) to even happen, although I was excited I was very nervous as well. The staff and Dr both helped ease my mind and answered all the ridiculous questions I had. Cindy has even kept in touch with me months past for things regarding disability, but even before that went above and beyond. The rest of the staff including Georgina, Jennifer k. And Jennifer N and Mary for organizing a wheel chair when needed! Thank you Dr Mosser this has changed my life

Dr. Mosser and his staff are the friendliest health professionals I have ever been treated by. I traveled from NYC to San Francisco in May of 2015 to get a double incision mastectomy, (transgender top surgery FTM.) From the moment I arrived, to the last appointment, I felt extremely safe and supported in their care. Dr. Mosser’s bedside manner is amazing, and he made me feel very comfortable and reassured before and after surgery. Cindy Moy was an absolute pleasure to work with, and was always very kind and professional. Amy Tan was great with scheduling all of my consults. I have recommended Dr. Mosser to many of my other transgender friends. I am very pleased with my results.

I had top surgery with dr Mosser in late sept. Cindy especially but all of his staff and him made me super comfortable and my chest looks amazing. I recommend him and his team without reservation.

Had my procedure done on ¹⁰⁄₂₉ and it went really well. Dr. Mosser was great at both the consult and was available to answer my questions both pre and post op. Super pleased with the results and would definitely go back for any additional work. Cindy Moy was also superior in the whole process and was always responsive for both emails and telephone calls. Really appreciate the entire staff and Dr. Mosser for everything. Changed my life for the better, way better.

I can’t recommend Dr Mosser enough. I had a double mastectomy and I’m very pleased with the results. He immediately puts you at ease. I know a lot of people that had the same surgery and they are all very happy with the outcome. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Cindy always answered my emails and returned my phone calls promptly and was extremely helpful before and after my surgery. Jennifer managed to get my insurance to cover my whole surgery which was not an easy task.

Two and a half years after my gynecomastia and liposuction surgery and the results are still great.

I paid $ 20k for a facelift that wasn’t. Back to square one.

When I went to Dr. Mosser for my consultation, I let him decide what really needed to be done to give me a more relaxed and youthful appearance. I had my upper eyelids fixed and also under the eyes, a neck lift and a cheek lift and I have to say that it was so easy and painless having all this done with Dr. Mosser. His staff is very attentive and always right on top of things. From the time I entered Dr. Mosser’s office, I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Everything was explained to me as to what would happen. They even did all the paperwork for my financing. The results are amazing! Even after the first day with a minimum of swelling and bruising — I still looked great and felt no pain at all. It’s been a week since my surgery and I know without a doubt that I am definitely pleased with the results. I have my 1980’s face back!

Breast Augmentation Review:
Dr. Mosser is just wonderful — I highly recommend seeing him!
I had a breast augmentation back in 2008 and I was so young — only 22 — but Dr. Mosser was so patient and understanding of my needs and the outcome I wanted. I brought in my laptop to show him photos as reference of what I liked and Did Not like which he appreciated and found very helpful.
I went with saline, round, high profile implants and went behind the muscle — 280CC for the larger breast and 300CC for the smaller one. It was at Dr. Mossers suggestion I get high profile (which only came in round at that time) due to my small frame/​diameter and to set the implants behind the muscle for a natural finish which is exactly what I wanted. I went from literally being a negative A to a 32C bra size and to this day still get complimented on how real they look. People have said to me: «Ok, either you have the most perfect breasts or I want the name of your doctor because we can’t tell if they’re real or fake!» :-) Granted, certain bra’s or tops I CHOOSE to wear can make them look fake but for the most part they look real which was the ultimate goal and I’m still so happy with the outcome.
Anyway, the staff was so friendly and welcoming too and made everythign so easy from start to finish. After my consultation with Dr. Mosser I was also able to meet with an advisor to help get the surgery financed which was all approved/​completed that day — even scheduling my surgery. It came out to $ 7,500.00 which includes my initial $ 900.00 deposit and I only paid $ 238.00 a month for 2.5 years. The price was higher then the norm only because I got high profile implants which at the time was still rather new but in the end it was all so easy and affordable for me at 22.
The day of my surgery I was naturally nervous but he totally put me at ease and made me feel comfortable and I knew I was in good hands. My post-​ops were fast and easy too. Its been almost 10 years and I’m still SO thrilled with the results and couldn’t thank Dr. Mosser and staff enough. Anyone inquiring should definitely set-​up a consultation with his team — they’re wonderful!
Thank you Dr. Mosser and Staff! :-)

I was extremely disappointed in the Nurse at Dr. Mosser office. She tried to sell me some products that are to be used for people having laser treatments. However, as an African American, I cannot have laser treatments on my body. It wasn’t until I went to my doctor at Kaiser, that I discovered she had tried to sell me something that I didn’t even need! That’s not good! Boy was I happy that my Carecredit was over the limit, and I couldn’t purchase the products. What a lucky break for me, and not a good recommendation for them. I spoke with the office and discovered that I was given the right products, it’s just that different doctors recommend different products, or have different procedures. I really enjoy my Nurse and now that everyting this is cleared up, I will be going back.

Dr. Mosser is one of the most professional doctors I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. From the consultation through to the procedure and post surgery follow ups, Dr. Mosser personally handled each one.
I had been suffering from gynecomastia (abnormally enlarged breasts in men) since I was a kid and finally decided about 9 months ago to get the problem corrected. I have never looked back since, and am extremely pleased with the results.
Dr. Mosser is my first choice if I am considering plastic surgery again in the future.

I went to Dr. Mosser a couple years ago for some minor injections. Given that, I can’t give much feedback as to his surgical abilities, but I can say Dr. Mosser seems like a very responsible, ethical plastic surgeon with excellent bedside manner and a support staff that is on it. I’ve met a lot of plastic surgeons and it’s the office administration that tends to be a mess. Not so with Mosser’s orderly ship. This really can make a big difference in your experience and feeling like you’re safely taken care of.
Dr. Mosser is extremely honest and definitely puts his patients’ satisfaction above money.
I went back to him for a consultation on some other issues and he was extremely honest even if it meant less money for him because no surgery for me. He was honest that one issue I had could not guarantee it could be fixed, he recommended I ignore another issue because it was minor and not worth the pain of surgery, and referred me to another specialist for a third issue I had.

This office deserves nothing less then five stars. The office is clean and airy– spa like. The staff is friendly, accommodating and informative. The location is ideal. Dr. Mosser is patient and understanding and his results speak for themselves.
I visited 4 other offices before selecting Dr. Mosser. I recommend calling to book a free consultation if you are thinking about plastic surgery.

I met with Dr. Scot Mosser in February for a consultation for breast reduction surgery. His office handled submitting my paperwork to insurance and I received the approval about 2 weeks later. I had my pre-​op appointment in March and surgery April 25.
The whole process has worked pretty seamless which is amazing since the idea of surgery, pain and recovery are already stressful enough on their own. While this surgery has something I’ve been wanting to do ever since puberty hit and i had boobs large enough to suffocate me. A lifetime of back and neck pain has plagued me but the idea of surgery for someone who has only gotten a wisdom tooth pulled was pretty scary.
Dr. Mosser’s office gives you all the information you could possibly need which really does help with the anxiety. I walked out of my pre-​op appointment with a folder full of information on what i should start doing to prep for my surgery and what to expect the day of and the following couple of days after the surgery. I also received a pack of vitamins with instructions on what to start taking before surgery and after. I can say my healing has felt pretty fast tracked and I honestly believe the schedule of vitamins have been why. (Arnica, Bromelain, plus morning and evening multi-​vitamins)
I originally met with a different surgeon last year and while i felt she would probably do a great job something about our meeting felt very cold and clinical. Some people really like that. I found out that I didn’t since this surgery felt very personal to me and I needed to have a comfort level with my surgeon. With Dr. Mosser I instantly felt like I was in good hands and that I would be taken care of and that has been the case so far pre and post surgery.
The gals are looking great. I’m 3 weeks post op and my incisions are healing well and the soreness and swelling are abating. I instantly felt enormous changes in my posture the day after my surgery! I’m no longer lurching forward with 4.4 lbs of boob pulling me down. I went from a 36G to what is shaping up to be a 36−38C (still can’t tell yet). Healing has felt pretty straightforward. I go back for my 4^th post op appointment next week and really can’t be any happier. I’m so glad I went with Dr. Mosser for this life changing surgery.

If there is something I don’t like about myself, I change it!
After you lose as much weight as I have — your body does strange things. Skin that once held all that weight now sags and hangs in bizarre ways. Add age to that and i’m screwed. It is complicated to wear certain kinds of clothing because of the excess skin and of course that gives the impression I am larger than I really am.
Enter the beauty of Reconstructive/​Cosmetic Surgery.
I have had plastic surgery before. I will continue to as my body changes with each new weight loss level. I believe the secret to my success with consistent weight loss is appreciating the body I am in by changing things I do not like. I don’t wait to be a certain weight. I haven’t had a lot of work, but I admit I have had work to bring me to this current shapely body. In this, my confidence has grown exponentially.
I have a deep respect for Doctors. I have an even greater respect for Surgeons. I trust modern medicine. I believe in the excellence of the groups ethical surgeons belong to. I have confidence in the massive amount of education they have under their belt.
Dr Mosser is a great surgeon. He is a great doctor. He is a genuinely good person.
I did my research as everyone who has elective surgery should do. Not only should you make sure they are members of specific boards — check if those memberships are current. I checked everything I could on him online.
When I visited the office, my mind was made up. The staff were not only warm and friendly, they were knowledgeable about my many, many questions and concerns. When I met Dr Mosser, it was like meeting an old friend. He approached my body with respect and didn’t sell me an impractical end result.
He was committed to making me the best version of who I am. That means a lot to me because I genuinely like myself which means I genuinely love my body. It is nice to work with someone who understands me.
I had three procedures at once. My end result was exactly what I was hoping for! I have minimal scars with taut skin! I am also wearing a dress/​bra size that is accurate instead of accomodating a crazy amount of hanging skin.
The reasons Dr Mosser and his staff garner a perfect score from me:
— Dr Mosser is committed to his craft — you can tell by his degrees, the many organizations he is a member of, and the hospitals that welcome him.
— Dr Mosser is very easy to talk to. You don’t feel overwhelmed with his replies to your many questions and concerns.
— Dr Mosser is such a good person. You know he is doing what he does because he loves it. He is interested in understanding what your goals are and how he can facilitate them utilizing his impressive surgical skill and eye for aesthetics.
— Dr Mosser does charity work. That to me is HUGE. I respect that because it illustrates a seriousness to ones craft and a humility in giving back to the world at large by sharing one’s skills/​gifts.
— Amy and Melissa are great with explaining fees and discounts. That financial stuff can be really tricky for people who are emotional about money. They handle the finances really well and I am not emotional about money.
–Amy and Melissa were excellent in coordinating my surgical schedule, providing information neatly organized in elegant binders, and answering any questions.
— Tracy is is friendly and efficient. That will prove beneficial as you schedule post-​op appointments. Her genuine warm greeting when you come into the office really makes you feel good to be there.
–The prestigious 450 Sutter address Dr Mosser’s office is in offers great parking for $ 6/​hr and a little mom and pop Deli (get the fresh fruits!)
If that wasn’t enough, Dr Mosser, Amy, Melissa, and Tracy had flowers delivered to my home. That is a reflection of the sincerity in the care and concern they offer to their patients. It really makes you feel special.
My experience with Dr Mosser was excellent. I have complete confidence in him and his staff collectively and individually. I am happy I chose Dr Mosser.
I had such a positive experience, I recommend Dr Mosser with great enthusiasm!
