Dr. Ritvik Prakash Mehta

Nathaniel makes an appointment for my 10 yr old without me confirming (our call got disconnected). I called back to reschedule it, they say I have to go to another location because they no longer have the dr/tech to do a child hearing test, in Carlsbad. Which it had been done before. SO I asked why schedule me for it at that location. "it was a mistake" Then, .... It took over a week to get my son's antibotics prescription!!!! I'm so livid right now as I type this. Never never again.

Do not go to Dr. Mehta for any services! Office is terribly managed and are not patient/customer friendly. Over a year ago, I went to Dr. Mehta for a free consultation for rhinoplasty. The consultation is very clearly advertised on their website and Instagram as free. After my consultation, I went to numerous other plastic surgeons for consultations and ended up deciding on a different surgeon. Prior to deciding on a surgeon, I requested additional before and after images of Dr. Mehta’s past rhinoplasties. Denise, who is the patient coordinator, said she would send additional before/after images to me but after contacting her multiple times, she never sent me any photos or provided any additional details I requested. Instead I received numerous repeated calls from the front desk asking when I was going to schedule my surgery. When I said I wanted to be provided the further details I requested, I still never received any follow up, just more phone calls asking when I was scheduling my surgery. Fast forward to a year later, I am now receiving a bill for my “free” consultation and the office billed my insurance when I only went for a consultation and did not receive any medical care. The office now refuses to answer my calls or the calls from my insurance. Additionally the bill is from California Head and Neck Specialist which I never once visited that facility. Every other plastic surgeon I visited for a free consultation did not bill my insurance. Would not recommend Blue Illusion or Dr. Mehta. Do not go to Dr. Mehta for any services!

Dr Mehta fixed my Deviated Septum. He is with out a doubt one of the humblest men you will ever meet, but he is always being recognized by his peers as the best of the best. My favorite things about Dr. Mehta are that he does not waste time and he believes you when you say something is wrong. Instead of recommending a nasal spray or some vitamin, he just made an appointment to get me x rayed and allergy tested. He got right to the point of the problem right away. I also really appreciate that he is very calm. He does not hype things up and make you over think or feel stressed. Post surgery he was amazing. I had a concern in the middle of the night and he called me back personally right away. He went above and beyond. My friends and family were shocked my nose still looked the same, and thrilled they no longer have to hear me wheezing about! Food tastes better and I haven't had an asthma since. I am so grateful.

Dr. Mehta has been okay the few times we've seen him. However, I have called his office and rarely gotten through. I leave messages and they are never returned. The last one was about 3 weeks ago because we were out of hearing aid batteries. I finally just ordered them on Amazon. He is no longer at Scripps which makes it harder to stop by his office. Not sure we will return.

Dr. Mehta is a caring, compassionate physician.

I visited this surgeon for some fat lost due to nerve damage. This surgeon tried to sell me SIX injections of Sculptra for a package deal. Meanwhile, people that need HALF that much are in very serious danger of developing granuolas (and in many cases just one large injection can cause this) . This is not something that happens immediately however, happens in months or even a year after injection.I know THREE people personally that had this occurrance due to aggressive filler injections. One eve

Comes highly reccomended by his peers yet getting and appointment with him is a 45+ day wait even when stating the need to be s÷n is urgent.
