I am 5 weeks post op from a BA with Dr Pugash and I am so thrilled with the results. I took a bit of a gamble going with a larger implant of 450cc for my thin figure and I am so glad I did! I could not be happier with my results. Dr Pugash is truely an artist and I am so thankful for his skill. I chose him based off his glowing reviews and now I can confidently say that he lives up to the hype. Simone is the kindest most patient receptionist and Dr Pugash is wonderful for the post surgical aftercare. Every time I had a silly little question, he would call me straight away. I have had no complications since I followed the aftercare program that was laid out for me. My only disappointment is that Dr Pugash may be retired by the time I'm looking to have a replacement done way down the road!! Amazing job team and thank you so much for the 10/10 care.

I would highly recommend Dr. Pugash if you’re looking for a surgical artist! I recently had an implant exchange and breast lift and I couldn’t be happier! I had 400cc saline implants over the muscle for the last 20 years and just replaced them with 375cc’s under the muscle for my 40th birthday gift to myself. I had nursed two babies, went through weight fluctuations and developed capsular contracture over the last couple yrs...it was definitely time! From my phone calls with Simone to my consultations in the office I knew I was in the best hands. He let me know this was a complicated surgery but felt confident doing it. He definitely under promised and over delivered!!! I got a call from Dr. P the day after my surgery, which I missed, but he left such a nice message asking how I was doing and to not hesitate to call...I couldn’t believe it! I’m now almost 5 wks post op and my new breasts are gorgeous and better than I could have EVER expected or imagined!
Dr. Pugash if you end up reading this...no more “rocks in socks” thanks to you! Lol

The best Dr, hands down. I had a breast augmentation done from Dr. Pugash recently and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve been wanting a breast augmentation for many years however timing was never right. When I finally decided to start looking and initiate the process, I was unsure and undecided where to go, service and $ wise. I wanted to be close to home, and when looking up dr Pugash and reviews I was pretty set I knew where I wanted to go. From the very first consultation, to every appointment throughout, to surgery and after recovery I had such an awesome experience. Dr Pugash was super knowledgeable and experienced. I went in knowing some things, and was unsure of the rest as this was all new. He took his time explaining EVERYTHING, to where I had no more questions left. He was to the point and did not sugar coat anything, which I appreciated a tremendous amount. Although I was nervous for surgery, my excitement surpassed that. I am so pleased with my results and would not recommend any other dr. Simone was very pleasant and patient to deal with and was super helpful as well throughout the whole experience!!!!

I would highly recommend Dr.Pugash for any type of breast augmentation. I had a breast lift with implants, and the results exceeded my expectations simply because Dr.Pugash was so meticulous with his work. When it comes to my breasts, I have absolutely no complaints thus far; they look very natural despite the expected scars. I had a consultation with another renowned surgeon in Vancouver and he told me I needed an anchor scar to get good results, but in my first consultation with Dr.Pugash he said it was unnecessary and he could do a good lift with just a lollipop scar. That, combined with his knowledge and expertise, sold me! Not only is he skilled, but he takes pride in his work by giving you the best possible result. I truly appreciate the attention to detail he exercises in each surgery. I believe he does what works best for your breasts because he sees it as an art form. Additionally, his administration staff are always very kind and polite in handling any questions or problems. If I needed any other cosmetic surgery in the future, I would not hesitate to work with Dr. Pugash and his team again.

I had my breast augmentation done in March 2020 by Dr. Eric Pugash! He did an amazing job prior describing exactly what to expect with the sizes we decided on during our consultation and Simone was my go to for everything leading up to my surgery date, she kept me informed an well taken care of. On surgery day everything went very smooth, Dr Pugash and the cambie centre staff were very friendly an welcoming during this covid-19 precautions happening. I am now on 5 weeks post op and loving the outcome of the surgery, as my breast drop an soften each day I couldn’t be more thankful to have chosen Dr.Eric Pugash and his staff for my dream surgery an process! Thank you for everything!

I had a breast lift with implants done by Dr. Pugash on June 30 and couldn’t be more pleased with the entire process and results. Despite COVID, my surgery was delayed by only a few weeks which made me very happy after having made my first call to Simone 18 months prior. I had three children, have lost about 95 lbs and am over 50 yrs old so had ended up with very empty sagging breasts. Dr. Pugash was the third consultation I had, but in all honesty I had pretty much decided to choose Dr. Pugash before those consults due to his ability and willingness to do a lollipop lift vs a typical anchor lift, the excellent and plentiful reviews of his work and his vast experience in breast lift/augmentation.

Everything has gone perfectly so far and his office runs like clockwork. Simone is unbelievably patient with everyone she has contact with, it’s a true pleasure to both be a patient and observe her interaction with other patients. She is both empathetic and no-nonsense. They make a great team and are worth the wait.

The first time I saw Dr Pugash was 12 years ago, hesitated and never got the surgery. My hesitation was that all of his work seemed to be breast augmentation,. I finally decided to have a full facelift a year ago and my only regret is that I did not do it 12 years ago. Dr Pugash is more than a surgeon. He is a true artist. Maybe people wonder, but they are not sure that I had the work done that I did. Completely satisfied with the original procedure, the follow up consultations and the interaction with the office. Simone is an astounding asset to his office. Never rushed, questions answered honestly and with compassion. If you are thinking of having face work done, he is the best there is. Thank you Dr Pugash and staff.
