    Original Surgery date
    Blanca V.

    I'm writing a review according to my experience with Dr. Thomas Kotoske and his office staff. I had a surgery scheduled for 09/27/2023 but change my mind, so I contacted the office Manager or assistant, her name is Sara on 09/07/2023 and she ask me to send an email writing the reason of my cancelation so I did, and at that point I was on time to get the full refund of $11k, but she suggested I see Dr. Kotoske in person, since the only appointment I had was over FaceTime, so I did! My appointment was schedule for 09/12/2023, on that day, she told me my surgery date was moved to 09/25/2023, but I was still doubting having the procedure done, so later that week I contacted her again and told her I wasn't gonna get it done, so she said I needed to wait 2 weeks for them to process a refund. on 10/04/2023 she called me and told me my refund check was ready, so I went to the office to pick it up.... I almost fainted when I saw a check for $5,565.00, only HALF of the amount I paid them! The letter stated I DID NOT cancel on time (When my original cancelation email has a 09/07/2023 date) and it had the date of Surgery of 09/25/2023, not the original date 09/27/2023. I told Sara I wasn't gonna accept the check, that I was due a FULL refund since I cancel on time and it was HER suggestion I see Dr. Kotoske (of couse it was! she knew what she was doing!!! BUYING TIME to keep my money). I told Sara I undestood if there was a charge for the consultation, but the Facetime and in person consultation was a max of 30 minutes, and that $5,565.00 IT WAS A LOT OF MONEY for those 30 minutes Dr. Kotoske "wasted" with my visits. She told me was gonna talk to the office Manager and that it was gonna take another 2 weeks to resolve. On 10/16/2023 I contacted her over the phone to ask about my refund, she said they were still working on it, so I told her I was gonna contact Chanel 3 on your side to help me get my refund and hang up. The next day 10/17/2023 I received a letter from a Lawyer "In Response to demand for full refund" with the following statement.... "You have now attempted to extort my client by reporting him to Channel 3 if he doesn't give you a full refund to wich you are not entitled. Your threat is not well taken. If my client discovers that you have posted any defamatory statements about him, legal action will be taken. A check for $5,565 has been place in the mail. Please direct any further communications to me." So I later received the $5,565 dollars check and since a lawyer will cost me about the same as the amount they kept, my only option is to write this review, hoping it helps someone else. PLEASE read the documents you sign! And if they want to give you a future appointment, PLEASE make sure is within the timely cancelation requirements. Sara will make you feel like she's your best friend at the beginning, but all of that will change as soon as you disagree with them and their shady policies. ALL of the above is TRUE! I uploaded pictures as proof for you guys to see, just in case they respond stating this is a bogus review. Thank you!

    I've Been under his skilled hands 3 times! He's got such bedside manners, nice and efficient as well as talented, no regrets! I was flat on one side a small pouch from not switching sides when I was nursing. People asked if I had a mastectomy. Eyes of an Artist and Skills of a surgeon

    This is an update to a lower facelift I had with Dr Kotoske 2 1/2 years ago. I actually look worse than when I arrived before the surgery. Look at the sagging jowls and the hanging skin on my lower jaw. It looks awful.....see the current photos of what it looks like now. I am also posting a photograph of what my Jawline looked like 1 year before the surgery.....horrified by what a mess he's created for me.

She could not have been more thorough and thoughtful as to my needs and concerns. Surgery went very well; I am about 6 weeks out and my arms are looking wonderful. I still have more healing to do, but I am very confident that the results will be what I was hoping for. In addition to Dr. Gal, her staff is remarkable. It starts with the office manager, Candy, front desk, Lori, surgery assistant? Jen (I may have just given her a new title). They are some of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure to see in a doctor's office. I followed my surgery up with a series of laser treatments with Lauren, who does the most gentle work on your skin. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Gal to anyone looking to take care of an issue you are having. You will not be disappointed.

As a business owner my time is valuable. My recommendation is to time your appointments so that you get there early morning or right before the end of lunchtime so that you beat the rush for a parking spot. Either way (or if you are mobile...) this is the office you want to visit for all things dermatology related! Vince - DUCTZ of North Phoenix and Deer Valley

Then I see in my Medicare claims afterward that they indeed did successfully bill the same service to my insurance. That is double-billing. They got me for $200 while paid also by Medicare. Their explanation is that it was two different services because they claim there was a skin-tag among the keratoses growths that were frozen. I dispute that there even was a skin tag, as the provider did not inform me of a skin tag. To them, that justifies a $200 cash charge. In my opinion, this is unethical and profiteering. I reported this to Medicare as improper double billing and opened a complaint/appeal. I have since moved to another dermatology practice that operates ethically and honestly in their billing. Be very careful with this dermatology practice and pay attention to all the bad reviews as they exist for a reason. Be sure to heed these reviews and not the reviews over on G, because at G, businesses have methods to delete reviews they dont like, which is why you'll often see nothing but 5 star reviews over there while the reviews here are poor. I am going to take this business to small claims court for recovery of the improper cash charge. I requested the name of who they would like me to subpeona to Justice Court, as I must have a person's name who will appear in Justice Court to represent the business, and of course, they just give me the big run around having me call another number who told me to call back to their original number, finally getting called back by a extremely rude manager who continually spoke over me and refused to give a name to have my process server present my subpoena to. This is nothing more than obstruction. So, I will subpoena the apparent managing partner, Dr Anthony Petelin, and will lodge a complaint at the Arizona State Medical Board. I severely regret ever becoming a patient at this dermatologuy practice.

That is the level of expertise Dr. Holden brings to facial rejuvenation. Recovery was smooth, his follow-up care was exceptional, and his entire staff treated me with the same kindness and professionalism he did. If you are researching the best facelift surgeon in Scottsdale, I cannot recommend Dr. Holden enough. He is truly a standout in facial plastic surgery.
