a month agoMy experience at Dr .Susan Kaweskis office Med Spa in La Mesa, has been amazing and I highly recommend Dr Kaweski and her excellent staff for many reasons!! Most notably the kind and caring attention I felt when I went for a surgical procedure after mohs surgery which I was very concerned and scared to experience!! Dr Kaweski is an amazing, caring and knowledgeable Dr that made me feel so much more comfortable and did an amazing job immediately after the Mohs was performed. Dr Kaweskis staff also were so kind and comforting as well as calmed my fears during the procedures!! Its only been2 months since the surgery and I've healed very well and I'm happy thus far with the results which will only improve with time! I'm now looking forward to experiencing other treatments at Dr. SUSAN KAWESKIS MED SPA to benefit my skins health and appearance..

2 months agoI am incredibly grateful for the care I received from Dr. Susan Kaweski and the Aesthetic Arts Institute of Plastic Surgeryโs team. As a transgender individual seeking a more feminine body to align with my inner feelings and desires, finding a supportive and understanding medical professional was essential for my transitioning. Dr. Kaweski exceeded my expectations by creating a warm, non-judgmental environment where I felt truly heard and seen. Dr. Kaweskiโs meticulous attention to detail ensured the best outcomes. She carefully considered every aspect of my goals and used her expertise to craft implants that are both feminine and beautiful. Her commitment to achieving the most natural and harmonious results was evident throughout the process. Additionally, Kim, the patient care coordinator, was exceptional. She was always available to answer my questions and provided reassurance whenever needed. The entire experience was positive and empowering, and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kaweski and her team for anyone seeking compassionate and skilled care for their own transitional journey.

5 months agoDr Kaweski is an amazing surgeon. I had Mohs surgery on my face. I had a cut from under my eyelid down to the bottom of my nose. The job she did exceeded all my expectations! She is very loving and made me feel really comfortable with the procedure and the process going forward. Every person there is so kind and caring. Kim was full of information on skin care and how to take care of my scar. I had not been able to find a sunscreen that did not irritate my eyes (years of searching) and when I shared this with Kim she provided me with a sample of one she recommended. I've had no eye irritation & I absolutely love it! I'm so happy that I came here and I would highly recommend this office to all my loved ones and friends! Thank you Dr Kaweski, Kim and all of your staff there!

3 months agoI have recently undergone a series of lymphatic massage at the Jewel Med Spa in La Mesa to treat a hematoma in my neck area. Both Sarah (the nurse practitioner) and Ruda (assistant) have performed this service for me. They both have a very fine, gentle touch and pleasant conversation. I have found the massages not only helpful, but also I always leave feeling relaxed and well rested. Thank you, Sarah and Ruda!
