When it was time recently to go smaller with a lift, I went back to him again. I had the same great experience. Kelly is so sweet and encouraging. Dr Halpern was very specific in getting me the results I wanted and meticulous about preparation and recovery. Always gives a hug, and feel very comfortable working with him. The whole team on day of surgery including anesthesiologist were amazing. I am so happy with my results and the pain this time around was almost none! I will definitely recommend him and his office. Thank you

WARNING! READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THIS DR. I had a breast revision by Dr…read more Joshua Halpurn in March of last year. He botched my left breast and put in the wrong size implants because he was confused on what " DO NOT GO SMALLER" means. I had a 540 implant and I told him I want the "same size or slightly larger" I was crystal clear and adamant about the size in every pre-op appointment. You have to be an idiot if you can't figure out that 470 will be SMALLER than 540. The doctor I just met with told me that to get the same size (saline to silicone implant) the conversion would have been to put in an implant around 580-600, depending on brand/ type of implant. You will always go up in cc's when converting. NOT DOWN. I know these sound like giant implants, but I am a natural A cup) That have would have given me the same size I had, which is a large D, borderline DD. He absolutely refused to acknowledge either issue, including that I was having a lot of pain. He had such a flippant "O-well" attitude. It took me several video calls and 4 post op appointments to get him to acknowledge anything! He still refused to admit to any wrong doing on his part. This is insanity. Here I am 16 months later, still have discomfort. I am getting a revision soon. Dr. Halpurn FINALLY told me that the left deformity is from my scar tissue which was a blatant lie. Essentially, he put the blame on me. You don't get scar tissue the very same day of the surgery. There was no scar tissue there before the surgery. I was simply switching out implants because my old saline implants were getting far apart, (27 years old) and had some ripping. Scar tissue doesn't cause squeezing of the breast and a square shape. He messed up. He sewed the pocket too high and too tight resulting in deformity and pain. As far as the sizing goes, he says, " oh, I thought you just wanted something "similar" I never said the word similar! Was this man not listening at all 3 appointments? Did he forget? Confused? This is actually scary to me. Another blatant lie he told me was that I have to get both implants the same size. With my past implants, the surgeon put in a difference of 40 cc's to even up the size and it worked. So, did these implants come out the same size? No, of course not. One side is clearly larger. The surgeon who is doing my revision told me that 9 times out of 10, the implants he puts in will be a slightly different size to even out the breasts because most people have one breast that is slightly bigger/ smaller than the other. How incompetent can a surgeon be?! No acknowledgment. No apology. No answers. No offer to redo them. NOTHING. He needs to retire! I'm furious that I have to go under anesthesia again, drop $$$, take the risk , the discomfort of recovery and time off work. All because of incompetence. BEWARE

I will report back with my results (will likely need 1-2 more treatments to get my hyperpigmentation where I'd like it to be) - but the service itself was, in a word, flawless.

The shop is super open, calming, and beautifully organized, and it immediately gave off the kind of vibe that makes you want to slow down and look at everything. They had such a wide range of products like body wash, natural toothpaste, face masks, candles, handmade soaps, and more. Everything is either refillable or handmade, and the ingredients were super clean, which I really appreciate. You can tell a lot of thought goes into what they stock. It didn't feel like just another store; it felt like someone's passion project. When we went to check out, the person at the counter (I think he was the owner) was so genuinely warm and welcoming. He asked if it was our first time in and took the time to walk us through how the store works and what they're all about. No pressure, no upselling, just someone who really cares about what he's doing and wants you to feel comfortable. It honestly made the experience even better, and I left feeling like I wanted to tell everyone about it. If you're in the area, even if you don't need anything, go check it out. Places like this deserve support not just for the amazing products, but for the people behind them.

I got a shampoo bar, a face mask and a bar of soap, as well as a kiwi conditioner that the cashier recommended for my hair type; and was so excited to try the products. The shampoo bar, face mask and soap were all perfectly fine; but the conditioner left my hair disgusting and waxy!! I have washed my hair thoroughly 7 times in one day to try and get the waxy feeling out of my hair (twice with dawn dish soap at the suggestion of friends) and still haven't gotten the waxy feeling out of my hair completely. I've never had such a terrible experience with a conditioner and when I went in to ask for a refund the cashier (whos daughter was working the front counter when i walked in/different from the one who suggested the conditioner the day before) told me I would have to call the owner to get my money back. I was able to get the refund but I am extremely distraught by the havoc that was wreaked upon my hair as well as the cashiers poor attitude. If you do come in make sure to avoid the kiwi conditioner.
