“Best experience ever !!! Dr. Boudreault and Molly are the sweetest. You enter the office... its Beautiful, clean ultra modern yet super warm and cozy. I have been struggling with a scar on my face. I got Peko laser within one appointment it looks so much better. I am also getting Em sculpt. They have so much knowledge latest and best equipment. Love this office. I wish I could give them 10 stars.”

“Dr. Boudreault and staff awesome! The service and communication, Highly recommend.”

“Breast implants have always been something I have contemplated with. Dr. Boudreault was the very first consultant I had and I knew immediately Illuminate would be my pick. Now a year later, I am beyond pleased with my results and am so happy I finally made the decision to go through with the surgery. There is no other plastic surgeon I would go to in the Bay Area.”

“Best experience ever! I can not thank Dr. Boudreault, Molly, Katie and Melanie enough! I have always been nervous about having anything done on my face. Dr. Boudreault suggested an IPL as I had some brown spots on my face. The results are amazing. I met some friends for coffee and they were sure I had a face lift! A big shout out to the team at Illuminate Plastic Surgery;, Dr. Boudreault, Molly, Katie, Melanie, Peggy, Elaine, Cynthia. I highly recommend Illuminate for a holistic and educational approach from skin care to surgery!”

“I am so happy with the results of having filler done by Dr. Boudreault! This was my first experience with doing any kind enhancement to my body. Dr. Boudreault and his wife Nurse Practitioner, Molly, are a awesome team. Professional, caring, and completely dedicated to their patients. None better!”

“I had an amazing JOINT case where Dr Leader worked on my eyes and Dr. Boudreault on my body. Excellent results on both ends and saved down time😁😁”

“From day one they treated me like family, which is so extremely important when choosing a plastic surgeon. Dr. Boudreault recommended a mastopexy and breast augmentation. I am currently one week post op and I could not be happier with my results. I have had two post op appointments and Dr. Boudreault has called to check up on my a few times to make sure everything was going smooth with my recovery! I felt/feel very taken care of and I would recommend anyone who is searching for an insanely amazing plastic surgeon to go to him! They are also experts at Botox! Love how fast and painless it was and I had instant results with it. You won't regret your decision in choosing Illuminate Plastic surgery for any of your surgical and cosmetic needs/wants!”

“From the check-in to consultation and throughout my procedure, the staff was attentive, professional and at times comforting. Dr. Boudreault never made me feel rushed, he answered all my questions to the fullest and truly made sure I was comfortable with everything before proceeding. I never felt pushed to purchase anything he really made it an educational experience before continuing on to the actual procedure. I am really happy with my visit and will certainly be taking all my future business to Illuminate Plastic Surgery. I just received the Sculpsure therapy on my love handles today so I will give an update on the results in a couple weeks... I can't wait!!!”

“I am so, so fortunate that my path crossed with Dr. Boudreault. Dr. Boudreault faced an enormous challenge in making my breasts symmetrical as I am the survivor of two bouts of cancer on my right breast, 16 and 20 years ago respectively. In addition to his education, competence and credibility, I must say the combination of his innate skill set and “perfectionist” surgery skills left me with a more beautiful outcome than I could ever have expected. I feel so beautiful now; both physically and mentally. As well, I paid office visits for follow-up scar-reducing laser therapy. His Nurse Practitioner Molly is not only extremely knowledgeable and capable, but her approach is with tender, loving care. His staff were so respectful and friendly and the office setting is so comfortable.”

“The folks are amazing! From the front office staff all the way through post-op! I had a breast augmentation and I am currently 6weeks post-op and feel great! Dr. Boudreault has wonderful bedside manner and is really committed to listening to concerns about augmentation and your post augmentation body. I am a runner and my biggest concern was whether or not I would be able to still run comparable to pre-op. I am happy to say that I am back to running 7:50 miles and couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Dr. Boudreault and his team! ”

“I’m 1 month post-op & my results are amazing! Came from Florida ☺️ Dr. Boudreault did such an amazing job, scars are minimal and he was so informative! The first couple days after lipo & mastopexy were a little rough but him, and his team and nurses like Sammie & Celly were so kind and reassuring. Also a huge shout out to Jess who has done my lymphatic drainage massages! She’s the best 🤍”

“This is my second procedure with Dr. Boudreault after losing a considerable amount of weight. Dr. Boudreault is honest (will never guide you to a surgery that you don’t actually need, and he properly sets expectations), he is kind, he is patient, and he goes above and beyond in patient care. That’s all without mentioning what a master in his craft he is! I am blown away with my results and I’m only two months post-op. Weight loss is hard enough, but finding your new self and hitting the next step of your aesthetic goals can be even harder, so finding a doctor that you feel comfortable with and whose work you admire can be daunting. ”

“Had an amazing experience with Dr. Boudreault and staff!!! From the beginning to end was more than I expected. I was apprehensive about having surgery. Dr. Boudreault and Staff made me feel so comfortable. Everyone was welcoming, and very attentive to any questions that I had or concerns. From my surgery to my postop, Dr. Boudreault and his nurse Erin were amazing in ensuring all my questions were answered. I never felt alone through my post op and recovery! My surgery was an amazing experience!! Dr. Boudreault is very detail oriented and does amazing work. I could not be happier with my results. My body looks AMAZING!! And even my healing process was just as great!! Thank you Dr. Boudreault! I recommend everyone to illuminate plastic surgery!”

“Dr. Boudreault is the best! He did a wonderful job on my breast augmentation. Him and his team at illuminate made me feel completely comfortable from pre surgery to post op appointments. Im so so happy with my breasts, they look amazing! Thank you so much Dr. Boudreault and team!!”
