She is known for her expertise and skills, throughout the US.
As a model, I normally would not write a review about a plastic surgeon’s office, but I was referred to Restore SD Plastic Surgery through another plastic surgeon, Dr. Victor Chung (see review). Dr. Chung specializes in the face only – so he sent me to Restore for all my other concerns. And I’m so glad he did! Finding a REALLY GOOD plastic surgeon and a medical spa you can get Botox, fillers, etc is not easy! I interviewed other doctors and went to many other offices, to LA, Beverly Hills, Orange County, SF Bay Area, and so on. So I’ve done the leg work for you. Let me assure you, this is the place you’re looking for. Restore is run by Dr.Gallus. She is not only the board certified plastic surgeon, but she does the botox/filler injections herself. Most other offices will have part time nurses handling this, or general primary care physicians who do it as a side hustle. NOT the case here at Restore. Dr. Gallus is a bad ass, she often speaks at prestigious national plastic surgery conferences with hundreds of other plastic surgeons in attendance. She is known for her expertise and skills, throughout the US. I feel so blessed that she’s right here in San Diego. And don’t let the posh office and gorgeous ladies who work there intimidate you. At first glance, you won’t know who the Doctor or Nurse is – as everyone is beautiful in this office. No joke. They look like a magazine ad for sunny happy CA living. Ashley is the esthetician, Meghan is the surgery coordinator, Jordan is the head Nurse, and of course you have the superstar, Dr. Gallus. They make a powerful and talented all-women team that really works in this type of environment. They are nurturing, supportive, professional, really listens, and are best of all, they are results oriented. Because looking good here is a by-product, or rather more of a desired side effect in the work they do. Ultimately they help me FEEL my best! They help me be the best version of me, inside out. And that my friends, is priceless. I highly recommend Restore for anyone who might need a little pick me up. I’ll see you there!—Esther H.

I would definitely go back to Dr. Gallus
I have been very happy with my experience with Dr. Gallus from the moment I met her through post op appointments. She listened to my wishes, was compassionate, and clearly explained the procedure and post op expectations. Everything so far has occurred as Dr. Gallus explained; there have been no surprises. Her prices are extremely fair and cover the all medical appointments including the procedure. I was also impressed that her procedure room is in the same office space. The support staff are welcoming and helpful. I have been very pleased with my results. I would definitely go back to Dr. Gallus, and I have already recommended someone to choose Dr. Gallus for their cosmetic surgery.—Debbie and Peter Blanchard

I’m only 3 days post-op and loving the results already.
Dr. Gallus and her team are amazing! I’m only 3 days post-op and loving the results already. From the initial consult, to pre-op, and day of surgery they have been nothing but great to me. Dr. Gallus listened to my ideal breasts size and she delivered! Even when I was indecisive I decided to go with what she recommended and couldn’t be any happier. Her nurse, Jordan, is just as great too. She made sure I was okay in recovery and didn’t leave my side at all. The women here are all so sweet and welcoming, they make your nervousness go away. Thank you so much for everything!!—Sammy K

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gallus to everyone.
I recently had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Gallus, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding experience I had. Dr. Gallus is not only highly skilled but also an exceptionally personable and caring person. From the moment I walked into her practice, I was greeted with warmth and efficiency by Dr. Gallus’s entire team. What truly sets them apart is their dedication to ensuring that every patient’s needs are met promptly and respecting patients’ time. I have never sat in the waiting room. My procedure with Dr. Gallus went extremely well, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I have healed remarkably quickly, thanks to Dr. Gallus’s follow-up care. Her post-operative care was as attentive as her pre-operative care, ensuring that my recovery was as smooth as possible. I would like to thank Dr. Gallus and her exceptional team for consistently providing a great customer experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gallus to everyone.—Ida Charsetad

Never will I go anywhere else!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE DR. GALLUS, AND THE STAFF! My fiancé found her for me after going to a place for 4 years mostly because I liked the staff. Always unhappy results because they didnt have experienced staff doing injections, and bad product at a high cost. I didn’t realize what an amazing job was until you go to someone else, and WOW, I was mind blown. I wish I would have gone to her sooner. She knows what she’s doing and she’s great at it. She’s honest, kind and listens. I found my new beauty queen to take care of me, and the staff is educated, so helpful! Finally, a place that shows what great customer service is! My fiancé and I both go here, and never will I go anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Gallus and you’re staff! I am so grateful—Desi P.

Thank you Dr. Gallus for checking on us and for showing us how much you care.
Dr. Gallus and her team exceeded my expectations. They are kind, professional and a very knowledgeable group of beautiful ladies. Dr. Gallus took the time to text me after my surgery to check on me and make sure I was ok. She did the same for my daughter. She also responded so quickly to my texts and addressed my concerns in a very kind way. Thank you Dr. Gallus for checking on us and for showing us how much you care. And thank you for changing my daughter’s life! Another amazing lady is Jordan, she is truly an angel, kind, knowledgeable and beautiful! Brianna always answered my questions and greeted us with such a genuine smile at every visit. Ashley and Meaghan were also very kind and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Gallus and her staff.—Mercedes Margritz

I had visited several other plastic surgeons and Dr. Gallus is the only one, I truly felt listened to my concerns.
I found out about Dr. Katerina Gallus from a mom group I belong to. I cannot say enough positive things about her and her team. They are all friendly, compassionate, informative, and have excellent bedside manner. I had visited several other plastic surgeons and Dr. Gallus is the only one, I truly felt listened to my concerns. She advises you on what will work best for you. I am absolutely thrilled with my results and so is my husband! I would recommend her a million times over! After surgery, Dr. Gallus and her team have continued to check in on me. I have friends that are now scheduled with her and many more have asked for her office number. If you’re thinking about it, don’t wait, go see her at Restore SD Plastic Surgery!!—Tina Rodriguez

After my mommy makeover with Dr Gallus I learned to love myself again.
There are no words that can describe the impact Dr. Gallus had on my life. After kids I had to be on antidepressants and fully clothed when next to a mirror. My husband never saw me nude and I NEVER wore a bikini. After my mommy makeover with Dr Gallus I learned to love myself again. She listened to my concerns and gave me realistic expectations. When I was worried or anxious post op, she texted me back after her full day of surgeries and follow ups/consultations. To this date (over 6 months after) she continues to listen to any concerns I have and is always offering a solution. The best decision in my life was to invest in myself. I couldn’t have chosen a better doctor to do that with.—M.S.
