Reviews of Dr. Eric Pugash (Plastic Surgery)

Li Altenfelder

Even 17.000Km far from home and not being a native speaker I decided to get my breast augmentation with Dr. Eric Pugash. We have great plastic surgeons back in Brazil but I trust my intuition and Dr. Pugash`s knowledge and professional manner and the results…OMG! I`ve gotta tell you that he is just THE BEST! Honestly, my breasts look absolutely fantastic!! Even my close friends can't believe how natural and stunning they look! The first reaction of my girlfriends is: "OMG! I want to get my boobies done with the same surgeon! The look so natural and perfect"! And yes, they do! I get speechless when I have to talk about Dr. Pugash because he is just SO great and down to earth doctor that I would get my breast augmentation 10 times with him, if possible. So if you are reading this review now and still in doubt, don`t think twice just call Simone and get your appointment. And when you have your surgery already set, please, don`t change the size in the last minute or overthink about this and that, JUST TRUST his words! I followed to the letter all his recommendations before and after surgery and hell yes, I `m looking forward to getting a little spot on his website to show my before and after pics to you, ladies, because they are incredible! I can`t even believe my eyes. I also can`t forget about dear Simone and Meredith. They are also unbelievably kind and accommodating. They will do anything to help you.

Dr Pugash is rated as one of the top plastic surgeons in Vancouver and for good reason. He is an artist of the body. I recently had a BA done with Dr Pugash and the results blew my expectations out of this world. He presents as very direct and matter of fact during consultation and size fitting but he truely warmed up during surgery and with aftercare. His and Simone's aftercare attention went above and beyond normal expectations. I felt so looked after and cared for. Nothing I asked was glazed over or ignored which means a lot to someone like me. Simply the best and worth every cent.

I am so happy that I chose to go with this doctor for BA. Very kind and professional! It has now been 2 years post op, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results.

I can't begin to express the high regard in which I hold Dr. Pugash and his team at the White Rock clinic, and the staff at FCSC. Any fears I may have had lasted only until I walked in the door. Simone swept me off my feet with her warm greeting. At the initial consultation Dr. Pugash helped me overcome my shyness and we were able to work around my hearing loss to ensure that I fully understood the procedure and any associated risks. My concerns and questions were addressed in a professional, respectful manner. Dr. Pugash's skills as a surgeon are evident. I expected "to look better" ~ I got "beyond my wildest dreams". I can hardly believe this face was under that haggard, elderly mask. I am still recognizable as myself and look perfectly natural. With this fresh face came the determination and confidence to achieve (and exceed) other personal goals. The care before, during and after surgery continues to be outstanding. The thoughfulness and courtesy of the little extras are unexpected and much appreciated. As a visual artist with a significant hearing loss, I especially appreciate the aesthetic sensibility. Dr. Pugash performs his art in the operating theatre for a select few. I consider myself very lucky indeed, to be among them.

Dr Pugash and his team are experienced, kind and the best at what they do. Right away, you know you will be taking care of, your needs are heard and the right advice is given. From the tireless and caring ladies at the front desk through to the OR. The entire experience was top-notch and my friends were instantly sold on making an appointment with him. I highly recommend Dr Pugash.

I had my first breast augmentation with Dr. Pugash at 20yrs, and I couldn’t be happier. I am very petite 105lbs was A cup and now I am a 30D. The first week I was quite nervous I went too big but once the swelling went down about 3 weeks in and they settled I was so satisfied with my results I actually cried. I honestly look and feel amazing never in my life have I felt this way about my body. My breasts are very symmetrical/round and my scars healed near perfect. Of course it was incredibly painful and probably the most uncomfortable 3 1/2 weeks of my life but I am 6 weeks today and I think it was the best decision I have ever made! It took about a year And 4 months including consultation wait time and actually booking the procedure, but it was well worth it. The receptionists are also very lovely people and the facility I went too for my procedure I was very comfortable in. Thank you Dr. Pugash - Shelise

Amazing service! Dr Pugash and his staff are lovely and very attentive. They make you feel comfortable! Fantastic office! Bright and clean !

I waited almost a year for my consultation with Dr. Pugash and let me tell you, it was well worth the wait! I could not be happier with my breast augmentation experience - everything went flawlessly. One of my friends - who's also had a BA by Dr. Pugash - calls him a "magician" ... I didn't get to fully appreciate this until I got to compare my recovery with that of friends who had their breasts done by other doctors. Of course, every person recovers differently, but I suppose there is a REASON Dr. Pugash has the longest wait list in the Lower Mainland. He is HANDS DOWN the best doctor in Vancouver for breast augmentations.

Elise DiDonato

Incredible doctor! He under promised and over delivered and certainly lived up to his reputation of being a perfectionist. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Great bedside manner, made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. He did what other doctors said couldn't be done. If you're looking for excellent results, look no further.

Tracy Reid

I am so pleased to be writing this review today I was beyond impressed with the service that I received from my first contact with Simone and that same caring way followed through to post surgery by everyone in his office. The entire operating room staff were friendly and made it feel more like a spa day than a surgery day. I truly felt his professionalism was outstanding but more important I felt that he was very true hearted about making my experience the best and made it about me personally. I was educated on every aspect of my surgery so much so that I could not think of one question that was not addressed by Dr. Pugash. So if you're considering any of the surgeries offered by Dr. Pugash I highly recommend that you contact Simone at Dr. Pugash's office for a consult. :D

Everything with Dr.Pugash and his team was great from the very start. I couldn’t be happier with the results and how seamless everything went. Dr.Pugash is completely honest and truly cares about his patients. His experience and expertise really shines through. I could not have asked for a better plastic surgeon. The wait is definitely worth it!

Lambee Lily

hello, how much were the cost of breast implants? :)

Dr. Pugash and his staff are incredibly kind and completely exceeded my expectations in every way.

Omg I am 2.5 weeks post op now and I have nothing but good experiences with Doctor Pugash and his staff! I am very surprised at the bad review he has received. His office is actually very bright and magazines are up to date. He also has no windows in his office... lol. This person obv hasn’t seen his office. From the first day I met his staff, they’ve been nothing but kind and they’ve helped me SO much during my recovery. I could / can literally email any question and I will get a response right away! It has put me at ease, thank you so much ! I appreciate it. As for doctor Pugash... he’s amazing! He has met my goals while also being frank and honest with the complications if I were to not take his advice. He is extremely knowledgeable and I listened to his advice. He gave me the biggest possible size I could fit for my first BA surgery without dealing with unwanted complications/risks. His surgical skills speak for themselves because I’ve had zero complications since the surgery and he was very patient replying to all my calls and texts post op. I cannot be more pleased with my experience and for helping to make my dreams come true ! Thank you so much Doctor Pugash and team! I know who I will be seeing from now on! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Dark, small waiting room with 2-3 years old magazines. Staff is so so, not rude and not friendly. Doctor Pugash: looks like he is really tired from his job, zero enthusiasm, when he talks he is looking on window/wall and must be dreaming about travelling or etc., even his voice sound "tired" , does not like to be bothered with too many questions.

Dr Pugash: I am writing this review to help anyone make their decision and go see Dr Pugash and his fantastic team. From the moment I made the phone call to Simone, his receptionist (has been working with Dr Pugash for a very long time)(super friendly and loved talking to her from the moment I chatted with her on the phone), I had a really good feeling about everything. I met with Dr Pugash and loved how thorough and detailed he was about everything that would happen. As a mother of 2 young children I wanted a change in my breasts (you all know what it’s like after having kids what thy do to your body lol). He was able to advise what the best fit would be for my frame and gave me different options. He answered any questions that I had for him and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. During surgery, the staff were fantastic and helpful and extremely kind. I had my breasts done over a year ago and am super happy with the outcome of them and how they look. I would highly recommend Dr Pugash to anyone of my friends and anyone inquiring as I know how nerve racking it can be. Dr Pugash and his team are very very friendly, courteous and you can tell they truly care about their patients. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

So amazing at what he does! Waited a long time to find a surgeon who would do natural amazing work, and I am so grateful to find this office and his whole team. His receptionist is so sweet and went out of her way to do everything she could for me. My recovery was better than anyone I knew as well. Highly recommend!

Dr. Pugash is one of the most professional and knowledegable doctors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. His work is impeccable and I am ecstactic about the fantasic results of my surgery. Dr. Pugash listened to me and understood what I wanted, better than I could explain it. He was professional, gentle, answered all of my questions in depth with very knowledgable answers, so I felt very comfortable having him perform my surgery. His office is clean, new, relaxing and never crowded. His staff is always smiling, friendly, helpful and caring. Should I ever want to get more work done, I will not hesitate to go back to Dr. Pugash. I cannot stop gushing to all of my friends how fantastic Dr. Pugash is. He never made me question his abilities and I never felt the need for a second opinion.

I am writing this review to hopefully be able to help anyone make their decision to go and see Dr.Pugash. He is absolutely amazing and knows what it is doing! A few months ago I got my boobs done by him. I am so glad I decided with Dr.Pugash! My entire experience was fantastic, his receptionists are lovely and so helpful. I went in with my mind made up on how I wanted the procedure done and after talking with Dr.Pugash I ended up going another way. He is very knowledgeable and I couldn't of asked for a better surgeon or outcome. Any further plastic surgery that I may need he is definitely my man! THANK YOU TO DR.PUGASH AND HIS TEAM FOR MAKING MY EXPERIENCE SO GREAT.

Dr. Pugash is a very thorough and skilled professional in this field. He did an amazing job on my surgery and the whole process from the initial consult to my follow-up appointments have been easy and efficient. I would definitely list him as one of the best surgeons here in Vancouver! Definitely worth the wait!

breanne Lines

All around great experience. Dr Pugash made me feel very comfortable. Answered all my questions and was very clear about what to expect. There were no surprises and I LOVE my result. Administrative team was very kind, organized and accommodating. His office is easy to find, modern and clean. Everyone involved on the OR day was very knowledgeable. Would recommend to any friend or family!!

Tegan Kraft

Dr. Pugash performed my surgery a month ago and I feel amazing. The recovery time was unbelievable and his staff has continually checked up on me to make sure I am still doing well. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering any type of plastic surgery. He is honest and very helpful, providing all of the information I needed to make decisions regarding my surgery. He told me what could and could not be done and I am thrilled with the results. I trust him 100% and would not hesitate to put myself into his care again.

Sabrina Liu

Dr. Pugash and his staff were very professional and caring. I love the results of my BA and had no complications. Just done my regular breast check up today, it’s been 5.5 years. It is excellent! Highly recommended.

Ramandeep Karbar

I am a 34 year old female. I had an abdominoplasty assisted with liposuction. I had a diastasis rectis from my 2 pregnancies which was corrected during the surgery. I am over the moon happy with my results. Finally feel comfortable in my own skin. My tummy looks natural, doesn't look like it's been pulled. Did not have any serious complications. Results and recovery occurred exactly as discussed. All staff is great to deal with. At no point did I feel I was being sold on something. I was provided with enough detail and information to make an informed decision. Any questions or concerns I had before and after the surgery were addressed. I would highly recommend Dr. Pugash for this procedure.

Mai Holmes

Quality, care and amazing results. I can't say enough about Dr. Pugash and his team. The confidence starts right when you walk into his office. Very professional and accommodating. The follow up care is incomparable. As is mentioned in other reviews it is imperative that you follow his direction. With his experience and expertise why wouldn't you. He has my recommendation.

Lisa Le

I had the most pleasant experience with Dr.Pugash’s office. His staff was incredibly helpful and informative whenever I had any further questions. Dr. Pugash himself took his time with my initial consult to explain everything I needed to know about breast augmentation. Prior to the day of surgery, the staff allowed me to come in to redo my fitting and reassure me as I was nervous and unsure. On the day of surgery and post-operative, it was great. Dr.Pugash did an amazing job and I know I couldn’t possibly be any happier with my results. Thanks again Dr.Pugash and staff!!

Ashley Feist

Dr. Pugash and his staff certainly know what they are doing. Since the first day I met with Dr. Pugash he was very transparent, honest and thorough about what procedure would be best to give me the results I was looking for, and was very detailed in his explanation of how the procedure worked and how my body would respond to the BA and lift I was looking to get. Dr. Pugash was always available to meet with me (it took me over a year to gain the courage to go under the knife for the first time!), and was always available to answer any questions I might have. He was always so friendly, warm and welcoming - never made me feel silly for even some of the silliest questions I could have asked. The comfort that Dr. Pugash and his staff gave to me during my whole experience from consult to surgery day to post ops is next to no other. I actually kind of feel like they're family now. If you want the best, you go to Dr. Pugash! I never thought anyone would ever be able to achieve the results I wanted...but Dr. Pugash worked MAGIC. It's a miracle what that man can do! I couldn't be happier with my results. He gave me EXACTLY what I wanted with a BA and lift. I now have a very nice and natural look with the perfect fullness. I cannot thank Dr. Pugash and his staff enough - it was truly a life changing experience. I recommend anyone to Dr. Pugash and his staff!

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Pugash and Simone. I originally went to Dr. Pugash 11 years ago for my first Breast Augmentation Surgery, and then again for my "refresh" augmentation this past spring. 11 years ago, he was the best Dr. out there, and still is now. I was thrilled to find out he was still working when I was seeking another augmentation. Now my breasts have fully healed, and they look amazing. Dr. Pugash is very honest and straight up. I fully trust his professional opinion and am extremely happy with the outcome. I had no issues or complications. From the start of my recent surgery, SImone was a pleasure to speak to on the phone, and to see in the office. Dr. Pugash was always very professional and knowledgeable. At the surgical centre where he operates, all of the staff I came across had nothing but great things to stay about Dr. Pugash. He is a perfectionist, and has great bed side manner. He covers any post op situation before the surgery, so there are no surprises. And he personally called my husband to follow up with us the next day after surgery. I know several women who have gotten breast surgeries done. Everyone who has gone to Dr. Pugash is perfectly happy, and anyone who went to another surgeon, is regretting it. I have recommended Dr. Pugash to them all without hesitation. Thank you Dr. Pugash and Simone for making a possible scary experience be so pleasurable.

Charlotte Oshowy

I went to Dr Pugash over 20 years ago for breast augmentation surgery and have since returned for a lift and smaller implants. I am thrilled with the results for both procedures. Dr Pugash and his team are very knowledgeable and incredibly organized. I can't say enough positive things about my experiences, I highly recommend Dr Pugash

Courtney Blondheim

If you’re looking for the perfect surgeon look no further. Initially I had gone to a doctor my friend and her friends went to then when I got a lucky cancellation phone call for Dr. Pugash after being told it would be a year before I could see him it was an easy decision to dump the original doctor I seen. Dr. Pugash cared so much about me given my complex medical history to make sure he worked with my specialists where as the other doctor obviously only cared about getting paid at the end of the day. From day one Dr. Pugash showed the ultimate care and created a beautiful work of art I couldn’t be more pleased with this man’s work.

Lori Malcom

Dr Pugash did my breast augmentation and I couldn’t be happier with my results. They are perfectly in proportion with the rest of my body now and he also corrected my asymmetry. He is professional, personable and lives up to his nickname ‘Picky Pugash’. Highly recommend!

Shelby DeWolff

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Pugash as my Doctor for my breast augmentation. I am more than happy with the results and I would highly recommend him. He was very informative and honest throughout every appointment. With his experience and knowledge I knew I was in good hands from the beginning. Furthermore I was very impressed with Dr. Pugashs work and his staff including Parklane Sergical Centre. The whole experience was great and am pleased to write this review.
