What initially got me to give Dr. Handler's practice a shot was their front desk office. They are extremely patient and helpful in answering questions in regards to their methods, up-front costs, and working with insurance. As far as I know, this was the only practice I found that allowed me to get a consultation, and then the costs of the consultation would go towards the actual procedure as well. For my first visit, Dr. Handler was extremely kind and personable. He was patient in answering my questions, setting expectations, and did not rush me out the door. We ultimately went with the kenalog injections with radiation and my scarring has gone down dramatically. In a subsequent follow-up visit, all of the above remained true. Thank you.

I was referred here by Visionary Dental Arts and I swung by the day of to have a quick convo and they were able to get me a consultation within the next 48 hours which was clutch because my insurance plan was changing and I needed a quick turnaround time. The receptionist were quick, funny, and informative. They have an automated system to send you text reminders of your appointment plus a welcome video after you leave the office. For my consultation, I was running late because my dog became ill and they were gracious and worked with finding another time for me to come in. I arrived later that day and waited no more than 5 minutes in a crowded waiting room to go in and get my head scanned. I was put into the patient room with scans of my head and I met with 3 people. The assistant, then the doctor, then the payment specialist. Each one was welcoming and didn't talk to me entirely in jargon and technical terms. They made it a point to use the medical terms and then combine it with more common terms. It was in a way that didnt make me feel inferior or not smart. I then went and made an appointment for two weeks from there. A few days later, I called and asked if I can move it up and they were more than happy to do so as they had a last minute opening for extraction. On they day of my appointment, I came in, they went over a few paperwork, took payment, and then whisked me into the room. They asked what type of music I wanted to be played and told them some music from my home country and they were bopping along with me and asking questions about my country and sharing stories about their own. I was 3 minutes into the song before next thing I knew, I was being walked out to the car. Don't remember much but they mentioned how fun I was and that they enjoyed spending time with me. Apparently I was hilarious and grooving even in my sleep. Many thanks for their patience and care they provided me.

I have lost 22lbs and gone from a size 10 pushing 12 back to a very loose 8. Feeling great! Thank you to the great ladies in the front office... so friendly and knowledgeable.

I've been going here for years, but unfortunately things have become very disorganized recently…read more A few months ago they changed their appointment system, and my appointment was apparently lost in the transition. I even received a text confirming the appointment, but when I arrived I was told I didn't actually have one because it hadn't been entered into the "correct" system. Today was even more confusing. I went for my next appointment and ended up being bounced between their old location and their new one with no guidance whatsoever. I thought the sign at the old location says the new location will open on March 19, which led me to believe they were still operating out of the old space. However, when I arrived the doors were locked. Apparently the new location was open as of January 19, but there was no clear communication or signage explaining where to go or what was actually happening when I went to the new location either. This was especially frustrating because I made my appointment around or shortly after the time they had moved and no one thought to tell me that I would need to go to a new location. (Maybe I'm expecting too much to be proactively informed that the office has moved after I've been going to the same office for eight years or so.) It's frustrating because this used to be a reliable place, but right now the lack of organization and communication makes it very difficult just to figure out where you're supposed to be.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Gregory Park and my experience with him. He performed my…read morebreast explant surgery without capsulectomy, and the entire process exceeded my expectations. I had no drains and virtually no pain. Honestly, the hardest part of recovery was reminding myself that I had just had surgery because I felt so good afterward, I had to consciously slow myself down and take it easy. That alone speaks volumes about Dr. Park's skill and technique. I am now two weeks post-op and I am beyond happy with my results. My breasts look almost better than what I started with. Even with the steri-strips still on, my incision is clearly healing beautifully. I've had no swelling, no bruising, and my recovery has been incredibly smooth. Dr. Park is truly gifted, and I felt confident and well cared for every step of the way. If you're considering explant surgery and want a surgeon who prioritizes precision, comfort, and outstanding results, I highly recommend Dr. Gregory Park.

I have never felt more confident in a surgeon or more hopeful about my outcome. As I move into Phase 2 of my reconstruction, I am grateful beyond words for the care I have received. After everything I've been through, Dr. Kaweski has given me something I thought I had lost--confidence and peace of mind.

We were so relieved to see my Mom finally feeling better--free from the pain the cancer had caused. At her second post-op visit to remove the remaining stitches, I was shocked to see photos of the large hole left in her face. Given the size and location of the tumor, it wasn't entirely unexpected--but seeing the photos was overwhelming. The hole looked big enough to fit a golf ball in it! That's where Dr. Kaweski's incredible skills came in. Using skin from my Mom's own face, she was able to reconstruct and restore her appearance in a way that exceeded all our hopes. The transformation was nothing short of amazing. When I show people the "before" photo and then reveal how my Mom looks now, they're absolutely stunned. Not only is Dr. Kaweski a gifted plastic surgeon, but she and her entire office were also kind, compassionate, and supportive throughout the entire process. She is warm, personable, and clearly passionate about her work. The follow up visits have been wonderful too -- you can really tell what a caring and kind person she really is (besides being very good at reconstructive surgery!). We are beyond grateful for Dr. Kaweski's expertise and care--and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my Mom's face.

I scheduled a consultation based on the transparent pricing on their website, and my conversation with Dr. Tergari put me fully at ease. The sedation was plenty for me to feel comfortable during the operation, and the team was engaging and professional throughout the process.

I went to Avalon lipo a year ago when I was 21, feeling very insecure about my thighs. I've always…read morehad muscular thighs from years of sports, and there wasn't much fat, but Dr. Tigari assured me it would be easy to do inner thigh liposuction. He was confident it would help, and I trusted his reputation and the glowing reviews. The cost was $5,000, and he encouraged me to use Care Credit, saying there would be no interest. I decided to go for it, believing it would improve my confidence. On the day of surgery, I was told I'd be unconscious and wouldn't feel a thing. That couldn't have been further from the truth. Although they gave me anesthesia, I was definitely awake. I felt out of it but aware enough to feel the pain during the surgery. When I told Dr. Tigari I could feel it, his response was, "I thought you were stronger than this." I was horrified, but there was no turning back. I spent the entire surgery squeezing the nurse's hand for comfort (bless her for being so kind). To make matters worse, I could hear Dr. Tigari and the nurses casually chatting during the procedure, asking me questions like who my favorite singer was and why I didn't attend their concert. I was conscious enough to have a conversation while they were performing liposuction. The whole experience was traumatizing, and I would never go through it again. The recovery was extremely painful, but even after healing, I noticed lumps, indents, and no real improvement in the size of my thighs. Six months post-op, I reached out to Dr. Tigari about my concerns, and his response was that results were "never guaranteed" and that my thighs "looked fine." They did offer some follow-up services to address the lumps, which helped slightly, but my scars are still visible despite two separate scar-removal treatments. To make matters worse, I discovered that the Care Credit plan wasn't interest-free as promised. My boyfriend realized the interest rate had skyrocketed, and I would have been paying off this procedure for the rest of my life if he hadn't stepped in and paid the remaining $4,000. Overall, this experience has scarred me for life physically, emotionally, and financially. If I'm paying $5,000 for a procedure, I expect results I'm happy with, not indents, lumps, and scars. I wish I had never gone through with this surgery and will never consider liposuction again.

I noticed the first onset of something festering around June 6, 2025 about a month after the surgery. I had a scabby very painful area that I took a photo of and sent to the office and informed them of the pain.. I was told to just put vitamin E ointment on it it was just a spit stitch. That stitch turned into cellulitis, which caused me to have to go to Urgent Care and to the ER To have a drained. Twice. After two rounds of heavy duty antibiotics for 10 days and shots of antibiotics I thought maybe I was going to ok. The ER doctor suggested that I go back to Dr sessions to have additional drainage performed to prevent the pus from building up and bursting. I went back to Dr sessions unfortunately, he did not drain it. The Abscess ended up bursting later that night. It became an abscess the size of a half dollar. My primary caregiver has been proactive and trying to help me. I do not know what's going to happen. My primary caregiver says that it probably needs to be opened back up As he thinks that there are tunnels that have formed... from the infection, not being treated immediately.

Please take care and do your due diligence before you have surgery here he does not use drains for breast reduction, I had no idea how important having drains for breast surgery is. Until I have been going through this pain. From inadequate drainage. May have led to the infection. There were many opportunities that I was notifying them that I was having burning tingling itching pain that should've been a red flag for Any medical professional. Having a surgeon that is proactive and aggressive with respect to infections is very important.
