California Surgical Institute Of Upland

I met with Dr. Smaili, and despite the awesome staff and his good review, I had to follow my gut and not choose him as my surgeon. The consultation was very short and he did not seem to care. I felt like I was just another number to him. For some more money, I went to another Dr. in BH (Dr. C. Zoumalan) who not only did an amazing job but was probably the most genuine, kind and patient person I’ve ever met.

I went to see dr. Smaili back when I lived in Southern California. He was straight and to they point which is what I wanted in a Doctor. There was a wait but hello! Would you want to see a doctor who had no other patients??? I sure wouldn’t. Plus the staff was fantastic. Would for sure go back when in SoCal.

Please don’t chose dr tarik smaili he’s very dishonest dr after he made a mistake he charge for fix the error that’s not right and he’s staff it’s unprofessional he did my surgery and he made a mistake in my breast and he was charge me more for fix it. He’s a nasty doctor in my concept he take the patients money and he doesn’t care really bad doctor l ask for augment and lift l paid for 3 more size and he did only 1 size and the lift was horrible everything was absolutely bad and he was asked me for more money for fix it unbelievable I think he deserve the state to remove the license. VERY NASTY GUY.

Dr. Tarick Smaili did an amazing job. I love my new body and couldn’t be happier. I would recommend Dr Tarick Smaili to anyone looking to have surgery.

I was referred to Dr. Smaili by several family members. After meeting with the Doctor, I knew he was the one. I had a ton of questions which he answered with confidence. I have had breathing issues for years and finally decided to take this step. My results have been unbelievable. I can breathe now! His staff is also very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. You will be in very good hands here.

Please keep looking. Don’t waste your time and money because you’ll just be disappointed. It’s been 1 ½ years since my surgery and I’m very unhappy. I should’ve listened to my gut feeling at my initial visit. Dr. Smaili came across very short and said to have understood what I was looking for. I specifically asked for a high-​profile large D cup which would be 600 cc’s, however I had to get 650 on one breast because it was significantly smaller than the other. My breasts are not high profile and appear to be saggy. One breast is still very hard and was told that if it doesn’t soften soon I will have to have it redone. Seriously ladies go with someone you feel comfortable and actually cares about your needs and really understands what you’re looking for.

Absolutely beautiful facility! I just had a wonderful consultation and I’m so happy! I am scheduled next week for my «mommy makeover»!

Here for my next procedure and I’m so excited! I had the Brazilian Butt Lift a year ago with Dr. Smaili. The results were and still are amazing! I was concerned because I’ve heard that the fat doesn’t last. But I suppose if you choose the right surgeon it does! I have had so many compliments over the last year and my confidence is out of this world! Lol. Anywho, here I am for my next procedure with the best surgeon ever. I will keep you posted, fellow Unilocalers!

Please do not even waist your time going to this place! I showed up on time and the girls in the front were nice. Nice…/ not friendly or welcoming just nice enough to not scare you away! They put me in the «Dr’s office» for about 40 min at one point I really thought that they had forgotten I was even there. Dr. Samali spent about 5 min at the most with me! I didn’t even have time to interview him and ask what techniques he would use type of stitching ect. After he left I waited another 20 min to talk to a consultant and she looked confused and showed me work that had nothing to do with what I was there for. I am glad I read the reviews and did not go forward with my life changing procedure here!

If I could give a 0 I would. I went for a breast augmentation and lift and Dr Smaili spent all of 2 minutes with me and he sent me over to the billing part. The week before the when I went to do the blood work they informed me that Dr Smaili would not be doing surgery the next week. I have a very demanding job amd took the time off to do this so they said Dr Walker could do the surgery. I should’ve cancelled. But I went on with it because everything was planned and I had paid. More that I should’ve by the way. I had the surgery and when the bandages came off I looked horrible. One of my incisions was crooked. I figured that was how it was supposed to be. Well, then I got an infection in both incisions. I called twice to go in and those girls in the office kept telling me the drs were not in. They were never in! I finally got upset and said Look I have an infection and need to see a Dr! Then they finally called him. He told me to send him pics. I didn’t feel too comfortable with that but did it did it because it was my dr. He then prescribed me some antibiotics, told me to use sterile water with clorox on dressings, that day and the next and told me to go in next week. It didn’t work and my infection was worse. Long stort short my care was so bad I ended up with huge open wounds on both breasts. Painful and humiliating and extremely stressful. I am going in tomorrow to clse these wounds by 5he same dr because noone else will touch me with the ridiculous laws here. I am praying for better results but pretty scared. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE!!!

This place is horrible, I had an appointment today at 11:40am. The staff was not friendly and I wasn’t called in until 12:20pm Dr. Smilie didn’t come into to see me until 12:40pm and he was only in the room for two min, he’s didn’t care or took anytime with me. I’m so disappointed.

I’m not too sure how to feel about this place. I had surgery 3 years ago (after a customer at a place I used to work at recommended she got her breast augmentation done by dr. Smaili), waited out to make sure there were no complications. I remembered staff being nice to me and I never had a problem with them.
Taking off stars because my incision was bigger than I was expecting and no cream could ever take down my scarring. Now I wish I went through the belly button option so that my belly ring can hide the scar. Mind you, I don’t heal well. So in a few more years to get it replaced, I might have to seek a different plastic surgeon to fix this mistake.
And I also showed him a picture of a woman with 400−420cc salines and told him the shape and cleavage I wanted. I feel like my cleavage are non-​existent and my friend who went to a different surgeon with smaller ccs have better cleavage.
However they did come out very even so 2 stars for this place.

I had my tummy tuck and butt lift one year ago Im very happy with my results. My stomach is nice and flat my butt is nice and round. Im so glad I found Dr. Smaili he changed my life the staff is wonderful very friendly. The only thing I can complain about is the wait but its so worth it to look good

I usually just do restaurants and so normally I only look here to read the reviews of a doctor, but I really wanted to rate Dr. Smaili and his staff! I went in for a consult because I want a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I chose the Upland Office because my sister lives in Ontario and I wanted her to go with me. I was so nervous, but the staff was so nice and friendly, asking me if I wanted a water or if they could do anything for me while I filled out the paperwork. I waited in the waiting room maybe 10 minutes before I was shown to an exam room. The office was busy and I thought that said good things about how many like them. I was in the exam room about another 10 minutes and Dr. Smaili walked in. He had great bedside manner. I told him what I wanted to have done and he went through the whole entire procedures with me, what to expect, recovery time, all of it. I felt very confident in his abilities, I even asked if he could show me some of his work and he had no problem with that! His «portfolio» was gorgeous! After all that, I was led to an office where I spoke to Jenifer and we worked out rates and payments. I’m so excited to get this done now! I can’t wait! Taking vacation time from work! I even got a phone call a couple of days later asking how my visit was and if they could answer any additional questions! Thanks C.S.I. You guys rock!

I do not recommend this place to anyone!!! The staff is rude, unprofessional and disrespectful. Not only will you be ignored upon your arrival, you will be left in a cold room for 2 hours waiting for your procedure. If you have any questions afterwards you will be directed to a smart ass receptionist who is no help at all! Please do not put yourself through the same hell that I went through

Wow!!! Unilocal is ridiculous. They erased my review but keep obvious fake reviews!!! I am a real patient. I have pictures and I have my surgery report. I can prove it and would love to do so!!! Why would they erase great reviews??? I found 18 others that Unilocal took down and I have contacted some of those patients/​yelp reviewers. They are real patients too! And to be honest I didn’t even use Unilocal ever until someone in this doctors office told me about it. So Unilocal should probably even put them on the payroll since they are directing business towards them. Gotta love the review where some slob says he’s a doctor then used the worst grammar on earth. Lol. You’re no doctor. Anyway, hopefully they leave my review up this time so everyone knows this is an amazing surgeon!
Dr. Smaili is amazing had Brazilian butt lift with him and I am so happy with the results. His pictures speak volumes. You will not find better!!! He took his time during my consultation to make sure I understood everything very well. Dr. Smaili is very attentive as well as his staff. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone that wants surgery…

I went here around late 2012 for a consultation and Dr. Smaili was nice, straight-​forward not too informative or in the room too long. After the consultation, they take you to another room where you met with his assistant and she shows you pictures. I can honestly say the pictures were really good, I can’t complain. I was given a price and I decided I’ll wait til tax return season since that is when I can really splurge a little on myself.
I scheduled a pre-​op and had an assistant draw my blood. I was overall excited because finally a dream come true since I’ve longed for this for over 10yrs (definitely let that get to my head). I should have done more research and check reviews and I dislike myself for not doing this beforehand. I lost my mind!!!
I was an A-​cup prior to my surgery and I went to a C-​cup (425cc & 450cc) I had my procedure done around spring 2013, I arrived at 10am and didnt met with the dr until near noon. I saw the nurse, anesthesiologist and off to the OR I went in. The results were ok, nothing like the pictures. Even months and months after the procedure I still had to wear sport bras or push up bras because I had very little cleavage. The incision scar is huge, not near the areola and now I have to go somewhere else for repair. One breast has leakage and the other has a capsule.
I went back to see Dr. Smaili for repair and he was in for 5 minutes, looked at me and shook his head stating «ive never seen this happen when both breasts have a problem» THAT TO ME IS RIDICULOUS… you are a physician and you’ve never seen this happen and then asks «what did you do to them?», «did you massage like you were suppose too?» Instead of asking me if I did something wrong, lets find a solution to fix the problem. I wasnt there to bash on his work or blame him, I wanted it to be corrected. Yes 4500 went down the drain and another 3500 to repair. Mmmmm too much and I rather go somewhere else because of poor customer satisfaction.
COME ON, you’ve have to spend more time with your patients and less time worrying about the money only because reviews like this will make your business go down hill. I understand we make a living to survive but at the cost of someone that is unsatisfied, someone who doesnt have the knowledge or schooling like you as a physician does, someone who is concerned with their physical appearance and health… and your concern is MONEY… go screw yourself. I am upset because this physician spent 5 minutes in the room, sent his assistant who has no medical or surgical experience cutting someone to answer my questions and to get a hold of them over the phone… never unless your ready to give money. These ppl dont care about you… all they see dollar signs $$$$ the biggest mistake I’ve ever done

There was a mixup on what time we were told to be at our post-​op appointment and what was put down on paper. We went by what we were told as we left surgery and failed to look at our paper. A bit of mistake on both sides but the next morning when we showed up for post op there was great confusion whether the Dr. was in the office, in surgery, or on his way. Ended up costing us almost 2 hours and we never got to see the Dr.
Although quite frustrating, what matters most is the end result of my surgery and my updated review in 30 to 60 days will reflect more or less stars and my response as it goes. As of now, I’m quite optimistic, tho I do have a guarded concern. We shall see!
The ladies that work there tho are wonderful!

They took such great care of me, Dr. Smaili, Dr. Truong, Jason, Kim, Alix, Patty and Martha! I was so afraid but I’m glad I did it because they gave me an exceptionally positive experience! I feel like my body has been sculpted by a master artist… I feel like Venus de Milo if I may:-) I have total confidence in Dr. Smaili. I had TT, BAM and Brazilian Butt Lift. He asked me if I want him to add fat to my hips besides my butt, I’m so glad I said yes because it made my hips fuller, making my waist look smaller. I never thought I’d have an hour glass figure in this lifetime! He really knows what he’s doing. No more «pancake butt» for me!
He gave me a very good price too. It’s all about communicating so you can get a good deal.
They have 4 facilities (I think) and that makes it convenient to schedule the surgery. I did my consult and preop at the Brea branch and had my surgery in Upland. Lots of parking and Denny’s around the corner where my hubby ate breakfast while I was having my transformation.
I read the other reviews complaining about the long wait. I think that just translates to the doctor taking time with your surgery so you get your money’s worth and you’ll be happy. I’m soooo happy!
Showed up to work after 2 weeks of recovery… let’s just say my coworkers now want surgery too and they want me to hook them up with Dr. Smaili!

Bad service.,
