Couldn’t be happier
“If you are in Southern California and are overwhelmed by the sea of plastic surgeons, let me save you the trouble…Dr. Ho is the best there is. I’ve had multiple disastrous surgeries with other plastic surgeons and I wouldn’t put anyone else through that heartache. I feel extremely lucky to have found Dr. Ho. What’s different about her is that she really takes the time to understand your motivation for surgery and provide her artistic as well as professional recommendation. Plastic surgery is an art as well as a science. Any surgeon can sell you on procedures, but the good ones will know what procedures will actually bring harmony to your features. I was very nervous to undergo more procedures to try to repair the bad work, but she really put me at ease by taking the time to understand my history and discuss solutions. This was way different than all my other consultations with surgeons that could’ve moonlighted as car salesmen. I was surprised at how quickly I healed after surgery. I expected to look like I had been hit by a truck since that was how I looked after my previous surgeries. However, after surgery with Dr. Ho, I just looked like I ate a bunch of cupcakes. I went to dinner later that day and forgot I had surgery a few hours prior. A previous surgeon told me I must have some healing disorder but now I know this was untrue. The real difference was the skill of the surgeon. My mom now says I look like myself again, which is the best thing to hear following years of looking like I had been in an accident. She’s even interested in getting some work done as she ages! I will let no other surgeon touch her – even if Dr. Ho moves to Antarctica. If you’re still unsure, take a look at her before and after photos. The woman is a miracle worker.“

Amazing experience
“Just had my second procedure with Dr. Goretti this Tuesday. Always have a great experience with her. Warm personality, superb artistry, and always can suggest what would be better for you (which is very important for me, because I often do not know what exactly I want in terms of aesthetics). I have no reservations in recommending Dr. Ho!“

Dr. Ho, best lip injector ever!!!! -Orange County
“I’ve had my lip injected a few times in the past by different doctors/ nurses and my experience with Dr. Ho is by far the best! With other clinicians, I felt like I experienced a lot more pain and bruising and the lip is either overfilled or underfilled or the shape was somehow a bit off. Dr. Ho took her time to listen to my concerns and gave me her professional opinion which I really appreciated. She has great aesthetic sense and most of all she is super skillful! She gave me just enough local anesthetic to make me comfortable without being too swollen. And then she used a blunt needle / “cannula?” to inject the filler into my lip. I had very minimal bruising and zero lumpiness. I highly recommend her for any filler injection. She’s super talented!“

SAVE Best doctor ever for Breast Implant
“After breast feeding my two boys for 2 full years 10 years ago, my breast size shrunk from 34C to 34B with less upper volume. I was not happy the way I looked and I want to go back to who I used to be. I am a person with lots of research before I proceed any cosmetic surgery so I interviewed 7 plastic surgeons who are famous in breast implant in Southern California. I went from Beverly Hill to Long beach but couldn’t decided who to go because even though famous breast implant doctors didn’t give me confidence to make up my mine. I know I am picky but I had to because without confidence I couldn’t commit myself for this risk which could cause many problems later on. Even Dr. Ho, I interviewed her twice and when I finally decided to do with her, she had to leave for her pregnancy. What a timing!! So I had to wait almost 3 month and got a surgery after she got back from her leave. She was amazing!! She is a true doctor who really cares a patient. My surgery went well and it’s been a month now and I love my new 34D breast. I love the shape and recovery time was really short! Everything was perfect and I am so thankful now!! Strongly recommend to anyone for Breast implant!“

Awesome Doctor
“Dr.Ho was great! She was super nice during final consulation, during surgery and on follow ups. And most importantly, she did a great job on my eyes! Its only been a month but i already love the results! I got so much complements and many asked me the contact info for the doctor that did my eyes 🙂 Highly recommend her. I probably won’t get anything else done, but if I did I will definitely trust Dr.Ho for it.“

A kind and perfect doctor
“I’m 105lb, 5.4 ft. I’m skinny. I wore a 34A bra but I’ve never been able to fill it out. I decide to get breast augmentation through my armpit. I was very nervous about the surgery just because I had never had any plastic surgery. But Goretti Ho MD was so kind to reIieve me. She suggested me to go with 285ccs, round, texture, moderate. This size boosted me to a full b cup/a small c cup and it’s exactly what I wanted. My armpit scar is getting fade, I’m very pleased with the result without a scar on my breast. Grotetti Ho MD is a real professional doctor for count on.“
