Pacific Lipo San Diego
What I’ve seen about Pacific Lipo San Diego.
This spa is on the register and does not carry the Screened mark. The mark needs three public records to agree — Google showing it open, a current state licence with no discipline on file, and two records placing a licensed provider at the address — and every record I looked for is listed further down this page. Separately, it has cleared the website checks — those read their website, whether their published details agree with their Google listing, and their advertising copy. They do not decide the mark.
What their website shows.
Website checked on August 26, 2026. Their phone and address match across Google and their site at 100% similarity. Their website uses zero phrases the Medical Board acts on.

“I had an amazing experience at Pacific Lipo! From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, helpful and professional. Stef made the whole process smooth and ensuring I felt comfortable throughout and when I had doubts about anything I was able to call, text &/or email only to get a prompt response with detailed feedback about all my questions/concerns.…”

“I recently had a 360 lipo with Dr. Bivens and I'm blown away by the results! I was told it would take 3 months to see the full effects, but I'm already seeing a difference at 3 weeks 😍. What's even more impressive is the minimal scaring - Dr. Bivens is clearly a master of his craft!<br><br>Not only is he incredibly skilled, but he's also funny, helpful, and…”

“From consultation through aftercare, the staff has been impeccable. Dr. Bivens was patient and thorough, taking time to answer all of my questions, listen to my concerns, and understand the results I hoped for. Jessica, who provides the post-op massages, is wonderful and very detail oriented. She often noticed things and brought them to the staff’s attention…”

Screened means three public records agreed: Google shows the spa open, the state ties a current licence here with no discipline on file, and two independent records place a licensed provider at the address. The website checks above — a matching identity, a real site, honest wording — are reported too, and they are not one of the three.
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.
This spa names a provider on its own website, the state shows a current physician licence in that name as of 2026-09-18, and the state does not place that licence at this address. Read 2026-09-18.

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.
