Athleo L Cambre, MD

I want to thank Lori and Cynthia for making me feel so comfortable and at ease for my filler and Botox appointment. I was somewhat nervous, but once I met Lori, she put me at ease and it felt like I was with family. Lori introduced me to Dr. Cambre, what a wonderful, and professional man. Dr. Cambre went over all my concerns and that I wanted to look natural after the procedures. I am so happy with my results. Make an appointment, you will not be sorry.

I first want to thank Dr. Cambre, Lori, Cinthia and Roberta for always taking care of me from my Botox to my recent surgery. Dr. Cambre did a wonderful job, took his time pre and post op to talk to me about my results. I couldn’t be happier.

I just want to point that my husband was never Dr. Cambre’s patient. This review goes to Dr. Cambre’s rude stuff. I could never expect how one office manager can be unprofessional and only be interested in collecting the money? From the moment when we step in to his surgery center we were not welcomed at all. After my husband was admitted, I have been asked several times do I want to go somewhere out…
Horrible experience for the patient and family members at Sunset Hills Surgery Center. Thankfully our surgeon and anesthesiologist were there to comfort me.

I am a mother of three with a full time job. I have always known that I was in a need of a tummy tuck from my previous surgeries. I went to a few doctor’s who specialized in liposuction, but I didn’t feel the connection a patient-​physician should have. My dearest friend recommended Dr. Cambre to me. He was very detailed about the procedure I was interested. He also knew that I would benefit from an abdominoplasty, but due to my lack of down time with work and kids he understood my decision. From the moment I entered his office to my latest post-​operative appointment, the experience was great and I felt I had made the right decision. His bedside manner is comforting and genuine. He has not only sculpted my body to what I know it could look like, but has given me the opportunity to regain my confidence in myself. I am a few days short of a month since my procedure, and I’m thrilled almost daily to see the way my body is changing. This is one of those plastic surgeons everyone needs to hear about. He’s a true gem and I’m over the moon that I trusted him in my endeavor. I will be a long-​term patient because I have complete confidence in his skills! I will be returning for more. :)

Just went for my second appt, and he was just as great as the last time. I’m so skeptical of doing anything to my face, because everyone in this town looks so unnatural, but Dr. Cambre seems to push my worries aside. He answers my questions and has not once suggested or pushed me into doing anything I wasn’t ready for. He makes you feel good in your skin and is there to support you. I really appreciate his time, kindness, and sincerity. Wish there were more doctors like him in this town.

You will never find a Doctor as caring and skilled like Dr. Cambre. There isn’t enough words to describe how happy I am with my lips.
I highly recommend Dr. Cambre! He is the consummate professional, cares about patients and does absolutely beautiful work.

I had my breast augmentation done by Dr. Cambre. He was the only consult that I did and after leaving his office, I felt completely reassured and confident that I would get the results I wanted. The consultation was very thorough and he was so knowledgeable that I felt I didn’t need to go to anyone else.
It’s also important that I mention Dr. Cambre and I shared a similar taste when it came to breast size and shape. He’s very conservative and that was exactly what I was looking for. My breasts are totally natural looking and are completely fitting for my size and body shape. They look amazing .
Exactly as Dr. Cambre Described, my healing process was so easy. The next day I was able to make the bed and continue on with my daily activities with only but a little bit of strain.
Dr. Cambre Is exactly what you’re looking for in a good plastic surgeon. He’s kind, calming, confident, clearly experienced, and thorough. I’m SO PLEASED.

I returned to Dr. Cambre a few weeks ago to have him excise a potentially cancerous mole. I was particularly concerned about any scarring, but the stitching was carefully done and the site has healed very nicely. Even though this was a very minimal procedure, the doctor was sensitive to my nervousness. He arranged a quick turnaround of the biopsy results and called me immediately. All is well.

Having worked as a clinician in the medical profession for 35 years myself, I know how critical and challenging it is to find the right physician to understand and successfully meet your needs. Cosmetic surgery often adds another dimension of urgency to the search because you entrust both your body and your body image to the plastic surgeon you choose.
Athleo Cambre MD was my choice for the following reasons: his training/​credentials, skills and experience; his genuine respect, concern and advocacy for his patients and staff alike; his warm, humorous and honest communication style; and a comprehensive patient-​oriented care plan that begins the moment you step into his office for a consultation, and continues throughout pre-​op, surgery, post-​op and extensive follow-​up. He met all of what I knew to be the proper medical criteria in choosing a surgeon, and after spending a great deal of time with him and his staff as they answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns and fully explained risks and benefits, I realized that I also trusted him AND his team. It was a done deal for me.
I was completely supported throughout my recovery period, and I couldn’t be more pleased today. If my sister, best friend, or mother chose to undergo a cosmetic surgical procedure, I’d want them to have Dr. Cambre as their surgeon.

n 1994 I fell off a stage and ripped my forehead open to the skull. If it were not for the amazing talents of Dr Cambre (PS on call that night), I would have literally been a zipperhead. Now I have a virtually invisible scar that I have to point out to people in the right light, and even then it’s hard to see.
Dr Cambre is a highly skilled medical professional, with an attention to detail and a friendly, personable manner that is so rare these days in the world of medicine. I only wish all my other doctors were this wonderful.

I had a bad experience with this doctor. He performed surgery on my lip (a lip reduction) that had to be fixed by another doctor. When my lip swelled up after the surgery and wouldn’t go down, Dr. Cambre told me that he had been overly conservative because he had been afraid of cutting my lip muscle (which another doctor told me was probably due to a lack of experience). Cambre asked me to wait a few months to let the lip fully heal and said that the swelling would probably go down on its own. But my lip remained larger than it had been prior to surgery even months later, and Cambre finally shrugged and said that he was sorry but there was nothing he could do. I asked why he couldn’t operate again and reminded him that he had originally admitted being overly conservative. He thought about this, then said that he would be willing to operate if I paid for the operating room, the anesthesiologist, and the nurses. I stopped by the office of one of the administrators who knew how depressed I had been by all of this, told her what Cambre had said, and asked who she thought the best surgeons in Los Angeles were (I figured if I was going to have to pay, I should go to the best). She gave me two names, one of whom ended up performing a proper lip reduction on me a few weeks later. This surgeon also explained that most of the swelling in this kind of surgery should go down in a week, not in several months. This made me realize that Cambre was not only unskilled, but also dishonest, simply wanting to avoid dealing with his own surgical mistake at the expense of the patient.
