Comparing to similar facial spas at similar price level in Flushing, this place has nicer environment and larger space. The whole process is relaxing and comfortable. My facial specialists Helen and all other ones are sweet and helpful. Helen does her job well and always gives good advice based on my skin conditions, but at the same time she's not keen on up-selling unnecessary services or products. Will strongly recommend this facial spa to friends and family.

I feel like they PLAN their mode of operation to extract as much money from you that they can. They will convince you to buy multiple packages and upgrade your bundles. It's ridiculous. It's hard to say no because they are very convincing and are nice. They will compliment you as a part of their ploy. For example, they convinced me to agree to paying for my "acne" facial with two packages which totals to about $100! The only difference that this provides is that they use acne products but it's the same amount of time and the procedure is the same as a basic facial. That's so scammy. If you post a "before" and "after" photo on Facebook or Instagram, they'll give you a free facial session or $35 worth of product.

This review and rating pertain exclusively to Dr. Charles Kwak. I strongly advise against…read morescheduling an appointment with this particular doctor. I visited Dr. Kwak on July 13, 2024, at the Fordham location. I am aware that Dr. Kwak also works out of the Queens Elmhurst location. So this is to warn other patients who may be scheduling with him at this location. When Dr. Kwak entered the room, he immediately began discussing my previous visit and medications with his assistant, without first addressing the reason for my current visit. It was evident that he had not reviewed the notes taken by the assistant upon my arrival, as my current visit was unrelated to my previous one. I had to tell Dr. Kwak three times that I was there for a new, unrelated issue. Despite this, he quickly and dismissively asked to see my skin and began prescribing medications without investigating the cause of my skin reaction or considering my recent allergic reaction and complex medical history, which the assistant had carefully documented. As he rushed out, I remembered that he had not examined my face, where I had another issue, because I was wearing a mask. The assistants tried to inform him, but I heard him dismiss them in the hallway, falsely claiming he had seen my face. When I confronted him, he attempted to gaslight me, insisting I had pulled my mask down, which I had not. He once again, started suggesting a face wash without any further investigation or questions. The stressed and exasperated looks on the staff's faces reflected my own frustration with this doctor. While I sat in the room, I could hear Dr. Kwak loudly speaking to other patients, prescribing medications without listening to their concerns and cutting them off mid-sentence, just as he had done with me and the staff. The staff at this location have been wonderful, and my experience with Dr. Curtis Chen was excellent. However, my encounter with Dr. Kwak was a stark contrast. Despite his impressive credentials and advocacy claims on the website, his behavior was dismissive, rude, and unprofessional. If he cannot provide compassionate and attentive care to the underserved population, he should consider retirement. The people of the Bronx deserve better than the neglect and harm caused by doctors like him. He also has several other negative one star reviews stating they had a similar experience to mine here: https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-charles-kwak-29hnm

But they never got the approval for it and then never followed up with me or with an appeal; so that left me a negative experience. It seems they're less competent than their flushing main office. 2ndly, I give my medications and what I stopped taking wasn't removed so the doctor had to do the job all over again. 3rdly, I was told that what I wouldn't be able to remember would be written down and for me not to worry. But what I did get was a couple of business cards with the name of the rx creams. The explanation and caution that was verbally communicated was not written nor provided like I was assured by Stacy Li. This was my biggest dismay. I have a lot of prescriptions and some require a two part mixture and others can't be used long term. All of that information I needed was not given to me in writing as promised. Competence and following through has been their biggest issue in my experiences.

25 years as a patient of Dr. Miriam Casal at Piel Viva! and she never stops impressing me…read more I've been a patient of Dr. Miriam Casal at Piel Viva for over 25 years, and I can honestly say that choosing her was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my skin, and my confidence. What sets Dr. Casal apart is that she never stops learning. Year after year, she stays ahead of the curve, always incorporating the latest treatments, technologies, and medical advancements into her practice. The results? You don't just hear about them, you see them, and you see them quickly. Just this past March 16th, I had a BBL treatment with Dr. Casal and a Halo Scion session with Marisol, and as always, I was in the best hands. Both treatments were performed with incredible precision and care, and I'm already looking forward to seeing the results unfold over the coming days. But beyond her expertise, what truly makes Piel Viva special is the whole experience. Her staff is not only highly knowledgeable but genuinely warm and welcoming. You never feel like just another appointment on the calendar. And speaking of appointments,they always run on time. That kind of respect for your time is rare and deeply appreciated. If you're looking for a dermatologist who combines decades of experience with cutting-edge medicine and a team that truly cares, look no further. Dr. Miriam Casal and the entire Piel Viva family have earned my trust and loyalty for 25 years, and counting.

Didn't seem right so went to Dr. Casal who felt those moles could be problems and she snipped it and sent a biopsy where a very mild skin cancer could be starting. Being treated and things are going well and am grateful to her finding something that another missed, and a big miss only weeks before. She was much more thorough and was just great.

It in fact left a quarter-sized hole in my chest, that has turned into a raised, discolored scar, and shows where every stitch was. I was very upset, and went in to have them look at it. They were completely unsympathetic and told me "we can't predict how things will scar". I never would have agreed to the procedure if I thought this outcome would be a possibility. I have worn scar tape and used scar creams for over a year now, and it still looks terrible. Like someone put a cigar out on my chest. It shows in almost every shirt I wear and makes me constantly self-conscious. All for a tiny freckle, that they only thought MIGHT become something bad in the future. I will never go back there and would caution others to think twice and ask more questions than I did before agreeing to any procedures they recommend.

My 85 year old mother was expected to do that. Fortunately I was with her. They rotate their staff through their various offices and don't tell you. Mom had a follow up with a PA she loves and when we arrived for her appointment a different PA came in the room. It was only after I demanded to speak to a manager that I learned mom's PA was at another facility that day and no one told us. We were then told if we wanted to come back they would charge us for the visit. So this place is essentially a factory. They don't care about patient/ physician relationships. They have zero customer service. It's the McDonalds of Dermatology. Stay away.
