J. Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS

Dr. Minniti is an phenomenal surgeon and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him and his staff since day 1.
I had met him through business, and after our business consult and communication throughout the weeks, I eventually made an appointment for myself to see him as he was able to bring out an ease in me to revisit something I had been going back and forth with for years. I made a few other appointments with other surgeons to consult, but I kept going back to Dr. Minniti as my top choice. Maybe it was because we had an established rapport by that point. I just know I felt 110% meeting with him versus the other 6 surgeons I had consulted with.
Other surgeons seemed to care more about getting you out of the office rather than taking the time to listen to your needs and wants. I felt like most of the surgeons I consulted with just gave me to their staff. I didn’t feel the same type of sincerity and initiative.
Needless to say, after my initial consult with Dr. Minniti, I made the call and put down my deposit and picked a date 2 days after. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE.
I booked my appointment 2 – 3 months out, so I would have time to prepare for work, time off, research, etc. His staff, Jodi and Gail were always tentative to my questions, needs and setting additional phone appointments with Dr. Minniti to answer questions I had.
Happy to say, I am post op day 6 and recovering beautifully. His rapid recovery is no joke, and his methods are stellar. I never once doubted him as a surgeon, so that was always something that gave me peace of mind. His skills are impeccable, and I would highly recommend him to everyone because I am 110% sure they will be just as happy as I am from start to finish and thereafter.
Best PS I’ve ever met and had the chance to work with as well. Thank you so much for everything!

Dr Minniti’s genuine concern for his former surgical patients was recently proven to me six years after the breast augmentation he performed (which I am VERY happy with!). I had a strange abscess unrelated to my surgery and he took me under his wing to drain and pack my wound for 20 days straight-​even making time for me on the weekends. I had been running from different dermatologists to no avail and Dr Minniti addressed my problem with complete competence, compassion and confidence. I will always be grateful to him and his wonderful staff. His wound care game is on Fleek! And so are his surgical skills! Go see him!

Dr. Minniti performed my breast augmentation back in 2005, but as Unilocal wasn’t around then, I’ll leave a review now.
I searched for three years for the right doctor to perform my BA. Where other doctors met with me for 5 minutes and left me to their assistants, Dr. Minniti was there and the only one in the room with me the entire time. He answered every question I had and I knew he was the one to perform this procedure for me. He even called me the day before to check in on me, ask if I had any additional questions, and the day of, he was warm and understanding and everything was fantastic.
Now — wow — 10 years later, my breasts look fantastic. No one even knows I had them done. They have a natural hang and I’ve never had a single problem with them. I even referred one of my best friends to Dr. Minniti for the same procedure and she’s looking great and perfectly happy (and two kids, both breast fed, later) as well.

I recently had my nose done and Dr. Minniti is awesome. He is a very talented surgeon and my nose is now perfectly straight and much thinner. The results are very natural and my recovery was not painful at all. My under eye bruises went away within two weeks and I feel great. He is very caring and his bedside manner is wonderful. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Dr Minniti is a gifted surgeon and does meticulous, natural, beautiful work. No Beverly Hills attitude… honestly refreshing. He is truly dedicated to patients and his craft. I credit my youthful look to him (brow lift, upper lids, chemical peel, breast revision, liposuction).

I am privileged to share my experience with Dr. Minniti.
A rare, EXCELLENTLY SKILLED along with amazing personal care, safe, highly intelligent, and a real artist.
Don’t waste your time going anywhere else, if you got lucky to hear about him, or find him, you are guided by a higher power because He will truly study your face and body, listen to what you want, and also suggest his own artistic ideas with regards to beauty and symmetry.
Weather you are a famous celebrity or not, ALL are treated EQUALLY beautiful in his hands, also always know that if the front desk people are excellent, it usually tells a lot about the doctor himself, he had to select them right?
His prices are very reasonable.
When it comes to your body and face you want the best!
The safest, and to know you have a doctor who is AMAZING at what he dose.
Personally, I really like natural results and not a weird «done» look.
This is a doctor who get people from all over the world for a reason. and still stay modest, and discreet.
YOU FOUND THE BEST SURGEN IN TOWN! FOR REAL!

I had a robotic-​assisted myomectomy performed and my OB-​GYN not only used monocryl for my external sutures but also put glue on top of my stitches which he was planning to leave in for 4 weeks! Seriously, who does that?! …Needless to say after two weeks they became infected. When my OB-​GYN told me they looked great I practically ran out of his office and into Dr. Minniti’s. My friend Paul recommended Dr. Minniti and I knew I could trust him. Dr. Minniti removed my stitches, debrided the wounds, monitored my progress and did my scar revisions. I couldn’t have ended up in better hands! Thank you Paul and thank you Dr. Minniti!!! I’m finally able to go to castings which are requiring me to wear a bikini due to summertime being right around the corner! :)

I walked into Dr. Minniti’s office on April 22^nd 2013 with infected stitches and the final photos you see were taken on October 2 2014. Amazing results!

Wow! First of all let me just say that it’s only been two days since I got my Breast Implants done and I am in zero pain. Yep I said it, no pain at all. Can you believe that? I am more than pleased with the results. I told Dr. Minniti that I was going for more of a natural look and he nailed it. At my consultation he sat with me for almost an hour educating me on Breast Implants. I was so grateful to him for doing that because I learned things in that discussion that led me to make the decision I did. I didn’t doubt his thoughts or opinions once, everything he had to share with me made perfect sense. Dr Minniti’s staff is awesome. They made me feel really good about going through with the surgery and guaranteed that I would be happy once it was all done. Everyone was so gentle and encouraging, I was fearless when scheduling my surgery. I was confident that I was in the right hands. I felt comfortable with Dr. Minniti from start to finish. Thank you so much Dr Minniti for making me feel so good about getting my breasts done. I am so happy and couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!

If you’re doing any type of plastic surgery Dr. Minniti is the doctor you should trust. I have done couple of surgeries with him and I can say even after couple of years with both procedures I am beyond happy and satisfied. He does such a natural job that even your siblings and parents won’t be able to say you have gone through a plastic surgery and that’s work of an art. I love the staff at his office they are all very friendly and kind and make you feel like a million bucks. Dr. Minniti himself is truly an amazing surgeon, before I had meet him I had consultation with five different doctors and oh boy I am so glad I didn’t choose any of them, but I knew Dr. minniti is the doctor right after my first consultation, since he knew exactly what needed to be done before me telling him anything. On your consultation he listens to you, tells you the entire process of surgery which is important for you to know, and tells you exactly what he is going to do. After your surgery he calls you to make sure your ok and does plenty of follow ups to make sure you’re happy, he is always available to you if you have any questions. I have recommended him to few of my friends and family and they are all beyond happy with his work. I would highly recommend Dr. Minniti to anyone wanting to get plastic surgery, he is the right guy. Choose him as your surgeon and you will be happy for the rest of your life.

dr. minniti is as good as it gets!
went in with a friend for her botox and left with a date to get my nose done. something i had ALWAYS wanted and needed. three weeks later– I was on my way to recovery with my new nose. my wedding was 3 months later and basicallu after 3 weeks it looked amazing! so natural and so ME. he isn’t going to give you some michael jackson crazy, ski slope, tiny point 80’s nose job. this is giving you what your face needed!
no one has EVER questioned whether my nose is all natural. it looks it! NOT to mention i can breath better than i have been able my entire life.
dr. minniti is the calmest, sweetest, knowledgable and conservative doctor out there!
adore him!
THANKYOU doc!

I could not be happier with the work performed by Dr. Minniti. I live in Orange County and had a few consultations with doctors out here but when I walked into Dr. Minniti’s office I knew this was the one. The office staff, surgical center and nurses where amazing. The whole experience was wonderful. Could not ask for anything more. I would highly recommend anyone to him. It is so worth the drive to Beverly Hills.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Minniti and his work! The way I discovered Dr. Minniti was through a high school friend that I hadn’t seen in awhile. I saw her at a restaurant and couldn’t believe the transformation! I absolutely loved her nose and even though I was hesitant to ask who did it at the time I was determined to find out. Finally, I decided to massage her on facebook and find out that Dr. Minniti was behind that masterpiece!
Prior to this, I had interviewed a few plastic surgeons but I knew I had not found the one until I stepped into Dr. Minniti’s office. By the end of the consultation, which took about an hour, I knew I could trust my life, let alone my face with this man! He took his time to explain the entire process to me and made sure I had all my questions answered before I walked out of his office. Throughout the years I have referred friends to him who have also come to LOVE and most importantly TRUST Dr. Minniti the way I do.
He is truly an expert! We are all very different and what I love about him the most is that if you look at all his clients they do not look the same!!! He makes sure to alter your face in a way that is unique to your facial features!
If you are looking for a great plastic surgeon, Dr. Minniti is the one! Trust me when I say that a consultation is all you will need to realize he is the one!

After visiting 3 other physicians, I ended up seeing Dr. Minniti. 15 minutes into the consultation, I knew he was the one! He brought my husband and I into his office and explained all the options that were available to us. I initially went in thinking I was going to do an entire «Mommy Make-​Over» but after we finished the consultation in his office and went in for the exam portion, he helped me come to the conclusion that I really need all of that work. What a refreshing concept — an honest, to the point physician. You don’t even know how much I appreciated it. The other physicians all tried to up-​sell me and I left all of their offices feeling like crap.
I went in for breast implants and an umbilical hernia repair. I had the implants placed transaxillary endoscopically and it was the best decision ever! I was up walking around immediately and since I live quite a distance from his office, we stayed at the hotel across the street. My husband and I went out to a nice dinner that evening. I had my follow up visit the next morning and headed on home. I had the surgery on Thursday morning and took my last pain pill on Friday night. Dr. Minniti has fabulous follow up and has a contact him with any questions at any time philosophy and that was the best!
Two years later, people say I look fabulous and fit — my breasts look natural and they have natural movement. The scars under my arms have almost completely disappeared and you can’t see any scarring on my belly button.
When I want more work done, I am definitely going back to Dr. Minniti.

Dr. Minniti is the BEST! With a wonderful and friendly staff! In 2012 I came to Dr. Minniti after losing a lot of weight and needing breast augmentation. I needed a lift and implants. He was very patience with me and worked with my budget. I now love my boob job (smile). Two years later I’m still in love with his immaculate craftsmanship of my breast they looks very natural on me. Can wait to go back for more work soon.

Dr. Minniti literally blew my expectations away in every way. I felt cared for, comfortable, safe, and the RESULT was more than I ever dreamed of! I had a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation (one year apart) and BOTH procedures were beyond my wildest expectations! I have the face and body I want. The best part was working with Dr. Minniti and actually being able to SEE what I’d look like with a different nose… he has the most advanced computer software that shows you what you’ll look like with your new face. I STILL see Dr. Minniti for botox, injections (lips, cheeks)!! I LOVE Dr. Minniti. He knows the subtlety it takes to give you NATURAL results. Thank you, Dr. Minniti! You are truly the BEST.

I have been going to Dr. Minniti for several years for various needs. He does my Botox and filler beautifully leaving a natural effect and never over doing it.
A few years ago he replaced my 15 year old breast implants and I was really happy with the result. I had a small scar under my nipple that you could barely see.
Unfortunately I had breast cancer and radiation therapy in 2010 and my implant became really hard and painful from the radiation. So recently I had reconstructive surgery, Dr. Minniti removed my implants and did a really delicate surgery on my breast tissue as the radiation had damaged the pectoral muscle. He also did a slight breast lift.
Now I have new implants that look totally natural with only a small scar around my nipple. I am so happy with the result!
During my recent surgery Dr. Minniti also fixed a botched liposuction I had done years ago by another plastic surgeon. My abdomen was rippled and bumpy. Dr. Minniti took some fat from my hips and used it to smooth out my abdomen. It looks amazing now!
Rio and Gail are both loving and supportive and along with Dr. Minniti are always available for anything. I would highly recommend Dr. Minniti, he’s the best!

I had my breast augmented by Dr. Minniti and I love the results. I’ve sent several friends to him as well that have had their breast done and are all thrilled with the results they got. If and when I need something else done he will be my go to plastic surgeon. Maintenance is key!

Dr. Minniti and his office staff clearly care more about their patients than any doctor around. They are friendly, competent, & always do what they tell you they’re going to do (i.e.- return calls, emails, phone in prescriptions, etc.). Dr. Minniti never forgets to check up on his patients and genuinely seems to care about their well being. The best thing about Dr. Minniti is that he is HONEST. I trust him with my life.

I LOVE Dr. Minniti… I interviewed three Doctors over a six month period before I choose Dr. Minniti, I wanted to be sure I had all my questions answered and I felt confortable going under. Dr. Minniti didnt rush thru my consult answered all my questions and explained to me in depth all that would happend and the best way to get OPTIMAL results. My surgery went very well the office staff & nurses were awesome they all took very good care of me. My Results are more than I could have ever hoped for!
I Would recommend this Dr. because he truly cares about you as a patient and wants you to be very happy with what ever procedure you choose, he will educate you and the make you look FABULOUS:)
I think referrals speak volume and I personally know four friends who have had thier surgery with Dr. Minniti and they to look Fabulous.

I really enjoyed my experience with Dr Minniti and the whole staff. I have worked with Dr and Medi Spa’s in LA and London. I found that Dr Minniti was honest, professional but friendly. I felt very relaxed and comfortable.
I am happy with the results and continue to see Dr Minniti for all my aesthetic needs. I also have my facials with Trisha. With the combination of the two I feel more confident and not ashamed of my face.
Thank you Dr Minniti for making a difference to my life.
