“Dr. Machado is a very positive caring doctor/person. I highly recommend her as a surgeon and to guide you through your long term weight management journey. I’ve been with Sac Bariatric since 2016. Dr. Machado and her staff are the most supportive and caring. She is a dedicated professional and her patients are always foremost with her.”

“Dr. Machado is an extremely gifted surgeon who is also very likeable and is a good communicator. My first bypass surgery went extremely well. I had minimal pain and was up and about quickly.

“Dr. Machado and team have been amazing from day 1. I have been a patient since September 2019. I had some non surgery health issues shortly after which haulted my progress. Dr. Machado has never left my side. As long as I have been willing she has given me continued guidance and support. In October I started back on monthly visits and have been seeing the w…”

“I had gastric bypass surgery with Dr. Machado. I woke up from surgery with no pain at all! Didn’t need the stomach binder and it took just a couple of days to recover from the anesthesia. Her staff was always friendly snd helpful. She made ne wish I gad dine it much sooner. I have had no complications at all,”

Screened means the public record holds up: their identity matches, their site is real, their copy doesn’t lie.
GlowRanked Verified is a separate service, and a different question. It reads what the public record cannot see: who the medical director is, whether malpractice insurance is current, who’s actually holding the syringe, and whether the spa has written protocols for emergencies. The owner submits those documents and a person reads them. It is not part of what I checked on this page and it does not change it.
So — this is a records check, and it can be withdrawn when a record changes. It is not a judgement about the care in the room. Ask the questions below before you book.
What to ask before you book.
- 01
Who’s the medical director?
California requires every med spa to have a licensed MD or DO supervising. If the front desk can’t name them, that’s your answer.
- 02
Who is actually injecting me?
RN, NP, PA, or MD — get the credentials in writing. Estheticians cannot legally inject. Ask before you sit in the chair.
- 03
What product brand and concentration?
Real Botox / Dysport / Juvederm with a lot number. If it’s vague ("a similar neurotoxin"), walk out.
None of these three is part of my screen — I have no way to see a licence from the public record. All three are on you to ask, and if they fumble any of them, that’s your sign.

This spa cleared all three website checks: a website that holds up, details that agree, and advertising that stays legal. I report them here; since 2026-09-01 they do not decide the mark, because a spa's own website is not a public record.

I checked the state's licence file, the federal provider registry, the Medical Board's public record, this spa's own website and Google's listing — the lines above say which came back with a record, which came back empty and which I have not read — and I do not rate this spa or recommend it.
