Laser Liposuction – Hips – Abs – Thighs

If you are considering liposuction, Dr. Bansal is the perfect choice to do the procedure. He was very informative, gentle, professional, made me feel so relaxed and confident. I was made to feel extremely comfortable. He did an awesome job. I am so proud of how I look when I look in the mirror. And his staff is so caring. I cannot say enough about my whole experience. I am so glad I did it!!! If I had to do it again, I would in a heartbeat and I would recommend it to anyone who is considering it. I have already referred two people. You guys were awesome. – KG

Laser Resurfacing

Dr. Bansal of Elite MD has single handedly improved the quality of my life! My results are phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. There are no other words for it! In practical terms, I look at least 7 years younger, with far healthier skin than I’ve ever had! The response I’ve received from people has been fantastic. Naturally, it feels great to have friends and family compliment me so effusively. But the part I’m most grateful for is what it has done for me on the inside; the phenomenal confidence boost I’ve received has been life changing! I feel like the world sees me entirely differently now, I feel a real “command presence” in a room! And I owe it all to Dr. Bansal. – JH

I just had my surgery and I have already recommended Dr. Bansal to a friend/family member who is considering plastic surgery! I am very very happy with how Dr. Bansal and his staff prepared me for my surgical experience and for the care I received on the day of surgery. – PC

Laser Liposuction

I found Dr. Bansal and his staff to be very helpful as they prepared me for my surgery. The staff was caring, especially Jenny. When I first saw my before pictures {after my surgery} I exclaimed, “That’s not me!” I can’t believe the difference from my before pictures to now. Absolutely amazing! I now have curves, a waist, and a good shape. My stomach is flat and my skin is tight. No one would believe I’m 66. Thank you Dr. Bansal!! – JK

Facelift

I had wonderful results. I would even recommend Dr. Bansal to my sister for plastic surgery. I came in hesitant about doing a full face-lift. After my results, I trust Dr. Bansal completely with any procedure. – VF

Awesome! I had a mommy makeover, with a breast augmentation for the second time. First time was with another Dr. and I almost died of pain! The pain was like giving birth X2. With Dr. Bansal, I could have gone back to work after surgery! He was very gentle and went above & beyond! Literally no pain!!! – SK

Laser Liposuction – Abdomen

Dr. Bansal and his staff were very informative and professional. I felt so comfortable and relieved by their care. I will definitely e recommending Dr Bansal to my friends. I could not have asked for a better experience the whole way through by their entire staff and Dr. Bansal himself. Call me and see my photos!! – SH

Laser Resurfacing

To someone considering this procedure, I can personally attest to Dr. Bansal’s expertise. I recommend this procedure to any qualifying candidate, and I strongly recommend Elite MD as the team to perform the procedure! It’s simply the most exciting process I’ve ever been through, and I have never been happier. This has been my experience without exaggeration. So again, to Elite MD and the wonderful, caring staff, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! – JH

Dr. Bansal is one of the best physicians I have seen. He has constantly taken the time at each appointment to inform me, prepare me, and make me 100% comfortable about my surgery. More doctors should treat their patients the way Dr. Bansal does. His willingness to listen and his commitment to my care have made my experience with him life changing. Thank you, Dr. Bansal. I will be forever grateful for your kindness. – DM

Dr. Bansal’s preparation, attentiveness and precision, as well as his aftercare follow-up have made this decision to do this procedure one of the best I’ve made in my entire life! His manner is delicate and precise, and his wisdom and experience combine with that manner to provide the optimum serve personally designed for each client’s specific needs! – JH

Dr. Bansal and Dr. Sonia: I’ll always be grateful that I saw Dr. Sonia on TV. I’m so happy with the results. I have great confidence in you, Doctors. Your staff is wonderful! And I’m looking forward to my next visit. I feel wonderful and better every day. My husband has been wonderful too, in following your instructions! Thank you, again! – MC

I had very deep lines around my mouth, particularly from my upper lip that really aged me. The facial rejuvenation done by Dr. Bansal was extraordinarily effective. My friends and I are absolutely amazed. Elite MD, Dr. Bansal, and Dr. Badreshia are a team hard to beat!! – NU

Dr. Bansal. Although I am a little late with this, I want to thank you for your weekend heroics last August when you fixed me. The bridge of my nose has healed beautifully. I assume that my lip has done equally as well – but I have kept my beard so I can’t see it! Thank you, Dr. Bansal! – RW

I thank everyone for being so caring and understanding. Dr. Bansal was very meticulous. – SP

Contacted a Mixto representative who gave me Dr. Bansal & Dr. Sonia numbers.

How the LPGA CVS Challenge at Blackhawk Country Club Saved My Life – special thank you

I could happily say I had never suffered any health issues, albeit an occasional sprained ankle or bruised ego, so when I stepped into “Dr. Sonia’s” Dermatology booth at the 2008 LPGA CVS Challenge, my expectation was to get a brief mole inspection, stamp of approval, and carry on with my enjoyment of observing some of the best golf in the world. Just moments later, after the doctor’s simple and quick scan of my skin, I found myself walking away with an appointment card for a follow-up exam.

Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal and her staff had temporarily moved their practice to a small tent alongside our Lakeside 18th green for the weekend to perform community awareness and information sharing of one of our most critical, but often ignored health issues. As she was quick to explain, my decades of youthful baseball, cycling, golf, and just plain frolicking in the sun without the protection of the appropriate sunscreen and clothing may have lead to serious concerns.

A few weeks, a couple of short exams, and some simple biopsies later, I was diagnosed with early-mid stage melanoma {the deadliest form of skin cancer}. Had I not been checked by Dr. Badreshia-Bansal’s at her greenside venue in September, by as early as the next spring I could have been facing lymph node issues and perhaps radiation treatment of a metastasized cancer. Instead, due to the early discovery, I underwent a more preferred outpatient procedure by surgeon Dr. Vivek Bansal to remove a cocktail-coaster sized slice of skin, excising all signs of the cancer.

Going forward, I am hoping that the scar on my arm will be a reminder for me and others to wear my dermatologist approved sunscreen and a reminder of how the CVS Challenge at Blackhawk Country Club saved my life, because of Elite MD and Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal.

Thank you, Dr. Bansal. I will be forever grateful for your kindness. – DM

Dr. Badreshia is a great and smart doctor. She has the ability to help you in any way possible. She also treats people with respect.  NK

Thank you for the wonderful care. PC

Dear Dr. Vivek and Dr. Sonia Bansal,

I just wanted to THANK YOU and also the Organizations that support your patients! When I met you and your wife, Dr. Sonia Badreshia Bansal, a couple of months ago, I felt like my facial Bells Palsy and Hemi Facial Spasms would be in the best hands; literally! Dr. Vivek and Sonia knew that I became permanently disabled in 2004, after reading my medical history. I have multiple medical reasons for my permanent disability. I have medical insurance, but even though the reconstruction of my face was not a cosmetic procedure, my insurance would not pay for it! Dr. Vivek worked a miracle in one office visit, financially and physically, with the reconstruction of my face in one hour, with no cutting and minimal pain. The first week, there was a little bruising, but by the second week, it was gone. Both doctors stated that it might take 3 to 6 vials to make a difference. It took one office visit to just get my face diagonally straight. Which, is a MIRACLE, as in the last eight years, I had low self-esteem, due to my face not being the same!

Dr. Vivek,

I sincerely appreciate what you did for me, and have no problem helping anyone else. They can email call or e-mail me. Please realize I have had Bells Palsy for eight years. Every six months, I would pay out of pocket $1200.00 to fix the right side of my drooping eye and my right mouth. The entire right side was droopy! I never had great or good results from several cosmetic doctors! Bell’s Palsy and Hemi Facial Spasms are very tricky to deal with, and one mistake can cause major problems. There are very few “Board Certified Plastic Surgeons,” who specialize in this field. Patients need to be very careful when receiving any treatment for any facial conditions. I went to a lot of “Certified Cosmetic Surgeons,” who actually made my face even worse! I also had to pay them $600.00 for certain areas that they could use Botox and another $600.00 using a filler. I do have insurance, Medicare with United Health Care. I am also considered low income, but this is something I have to have to eat, drink or for my sight, as, I cannot swallow or see out of my eye, without this treatment. Food and water use to fall out of my mouth, and my eye never closed; so I had very blurred vision. Dr. Vivek Bansal, you are an excellent “Board Certified Surgeon,” and you don’t promise a “Miracle,” but you delivered one for me!

I cannot thank you or the supporters of your research enough! If you ever need a reference, for any patient I would feel privileged to refer you and your wife. What a great team!!! Thank you. – SB

During my first facial visit months ago {my aesthetician} alerted me to a suspicious area on my forehead that she recommended be checked by a Dermatologist. She mentioned an upcoming free skin cancer screening at her Spa to be conducted by Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal of Elite MD. I attended, and the same spot on my forehead and another on my chest were identified as suspicious.

Dr. Badreshia-Bansal then advised me to see my primary care physician for further evaluation. My primary care physician referred me to their Dermatology Department, and the appointment process alone took several months. The Dermatologist assigned stated the spot on my forehead was definitely not cancerous, but the spot on my chest likely was. However, he said it was not the type that would spread internally and many people go through their entire lives not even aware they have skin cancer. He offered to biopsy the one on my chest if I liked, but said I would be left with a scar.

Not comfortable with his advice (essentially to do nothing), I returned to Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal of Elite MD for her opinion. She performed biopsies of both areas and Basal Cell Carcinoma was detected in both. This type of cancer is the least dangerous of all skin cancers, but it can be disfiguring if left untreated.

Dr. Badreshia-Bansal and her plastic-surgeon husband, Dr. Vivek Bansal, removed the cancer from the affected areas in a timely and effective manner. I now realize how important skin examinations are and will have regular monitoring visits with Elite MD. – LW
