I cannot recommend Dr. Pugash and his team enough. He is incredibly thorough and professional from start to finish. His assistant Simone is the kindest woman who made me feel comfortable and well taken care of during every step of the process. 10/10 would recommend to anyone considering breast augmentation in Vancouver.

Dr. Pugash does very good work. I had a breast augmentation done by him and it went flawlessly from consult to post ops. I would say he has an “old school” bedside manner which is very straight forward.

Dr. Pugash did my upper blepharoplasty and I am very satisfied and pleased with the result. I give him 5/5 for a job well done, professionalism, being caring and most importantly, an excellent outcome. I also want to give a special appreciation to his assistant, Simone, who was always accessible, helpful and very kind in all our interactions.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Pugash! He’s amazing! I am beyond happy with my boobs! They are the perfect size, so symmetrical (which was a problem I had with my natural boobs). He answered all of my questions prior to surgery, as well as after. His team is amazing from his reception staff, to the team going into surgery. He truly made my first plastic surgery experience the most calm and enjoyable experience. I wish I did it sooner! I have received so many compliments and I tell everyone it was because of you. Thank you so much Dr Pugash! You made my dreams come true. I am forever grateful!!!!

I had a tummy tuck with Dr. pugash a month ago and cannot tell you enough how pleased I am with the results. This guy is a magician!! I waited over a year to have a consultation with him and he was so worth the wait. After a couple of kids my tummy was wrecked along with my self esteem, I had a protruding tummy and no matter how much I worked out, it wouldn’t budge, in-fact the more weight I lost the more pronounced my tummy become. Dr. Pugash advised that my abdominal muscles were severely separated from the multiple pregnancies , thats why my tummy was protruding, he performed a drainless tummy tuck with liposuction and muscle repair. I thought I had a good body before my pregnancies but he gave me a better shape than what I had and what I could ever imagine. I am so pleased and so grateful I got him as my surgeon, I have seen people with scary belly buttons and scars on the internet and went in thinking it could be a possibility for me but when I saw my cute belly button the first time, I cried, it’s that cute and my scar is only a thin line, I am only one month in recovery which has been a breeze and cannot believe the results. Its one of the best decision I have ever made, If you get an opportunity to get in with Dr. Pugash, do not hesitate, he is a master of his art and you are in the best hands. Thank you Dr. Pugash

I'm currently 5 months postop from my first ever breast augmentation surgery and I couldn't be happier. Dr Pugash is an amazing surgeon and I'm so glad I chose him to perform my surgery. From the initial consultation to now, he's been a breeze to work with. My result is perfect to my body type. Not to mention, his receptionist Simone is the cherry on top - I think I called her more times than I probably should have but each time she was patient, kind, and so happy to answer any/all questions I had. If you're considering Dr Pugash for your breast augmentation - DO IT!

I have had my BA done twice by Dr. Pugash. Once when I was 25 and again now that I’m 37, I wanted slightly bigger and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He helped me with all the hard decisions and knew what was best for my body. I have received so many compliments on how natural and perfect my breasts look. The staff is so professional and kind I recommend them to everyone. Thank you Dr Pugash.

My experience with Dr Pugash was nothing but great! He is so knowledgeable and puts his patients health and well being before anything. He made me feel comfortable about my breast augmentation. I had no pain at all after. My recovery has been nothing but a breeze and I can’t thank him enough for everything he’s done for me. I’m so glad I waited and went to someone with his experience and knowledge.

I have wanted a BA for several years but more than ever after having my little one. I knew I had to find the right doctor not only for their surgical skills but also someone to make me feel confident and comfortable. I waited over two years to see Dr. Pugash and am so glad I did. It was about a year to get in for a consult and then almost another year to see him (not his fault just due to my personal choice to have surgery in the fall instead of summer). I had contacted a few other surgeons that were closer to my home but the lack of professionalism and rude manner some of the office staff conveyed at other offices was horrible. I had heard about Dr. Pugash from a few others who had gone to him and started looking up other reviews. The moment I spoke with Simone on the phone I was sure it was the right place for me. Simone is absolutely wonderful and has worked with Dr.Pugash for well over 20 years which right there alone shows you he treats his staff well and also his patients. Their office is extremely accommodating and welcoming. Dr. Pugash takes the time to listen and explain the details of BA very thoroughly including the risks. I am 6 weeks into recovery and I am absolutely thrilled with my results. Everyone recovers differently so I’m not going to explain that side of it as what I experienced won’t be the same as someone else. Some find it easier others find it more difficult. I will say though I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to go back and highly recommend Dr. Pugash and his team.

When I was looking for a surgeon to do my breast augmentation, I did alot of research to try to find the best and most qualifed surgeon in the Vancouver area. I wanted someone who was professional, experienced and was going to be completely honest with me about risks associated with the surgery I was going to undertake. Dr. Pugash puts people above profits. There is a reason why he's so highly regarded among the medical community and his patients. From first contact to surgery to the follow-ups, it has been an amazing experience.

I am so happy with my results. Thank you to you and your amazing team.
