    Amazing service today for my wife's breast Augmentation procedure! We walked in at her assigned…read moretime and were warmly greeted by the front desk staff. After signing a few papers, her RN Tia came out and took us back to a room. Tia was amazing and super nice!! She got everything going and kept us informed on what was next and approximate wait times. Her quality of care for my wife was 10/10!! Once they took her back for the surgery I received a phone call from Dr. Vande Ven approximately 55 minutes later and she said everything went great. 30 minutes later I received another phone call from Tia who took me back to see my wife. Tia assisted me in placing her in a wheelchair and gave me home care instructions prior to leaving. Today's experience was great and all staff were great. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vande Ven and Beautology Surgery Center.

    I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Heather Vande Ven during my breast augmentation…read moreconsultation. From the start, she was not personable or welcoming. As a first-time patient, I came in with a lot of questions, which I think is completely reasonable when considering a major procedure. Instead of making me feel comfortable or informed, she seemed visibly annoyed and impatient. I even expressed that I valued her professional opinion and wanted guidance, but that didn't seem to matter. What was most unprofessional was how the consultation ended. After spending the entire appointment discussing options as if we were moving forward, she left the room, and a patient coordinator came back to tell me that the doctor would not be taking me on as a patient because she didn't feel I was a "good fit" or that she could meet my expectations. I was completely blindsided. If that was truly her decision, it should have been communicated directly and respectfully by the doctor, not passed off to a coordinator after the fact. It felt dismissive and unprofessional. To make matters worse, they then suggested I see another doctor by simply taking photos and having him call me, rather than offering a proper consultation. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable continuing with the practice. Overall, the experience left a very bad impression. I came in excited and hopeful, and left feeling discouraged and disrespected. I would not recommend this office based on my experience.

    I had a very negative experience with the front desk staff at this OB office. The behavior I…read moreencountered was shockingly rude and unprofessional, especially for a medical practice that works with pregnant patients who may already be feeling stressed or vulnerable. The staff member at the front desk was dismissive, spoke in a condescending tone, and acted as though answering basic questions was an inconvenience. Instead of being helpful or courteous, the interaction felt hostile and unwelcoming. Basic professionalism and respect toward patients should be the minimum standard in any healthcare setting, yet that standard was clearly not met here. What made the situation even more concerning was the difficulty I had obtaining my own medical results. I needed these results to share with my high-risk pregnancy specialist, yet the office did not provide them to me in a timely manner despite multiple requests. Delays in accessing important medical information during pregnancy are extremely stressful and can impact continuity of care when you are working with multiple providers. It is concerning that the first point of contact for patients reflects such poor customer service and lack of empathy. Front desk staff play a critical role in setting the tone for patient care, and in this case the experience left a very negative impression of the entire office. I strongly recommend that the management address the conduct and training of their front desk team. Dr. Helliwell is knowledgeable, and I had a good rapport with him as a patient however, his staff, specifically front desk receptionist, is intolerable and unprofessional. Patients deserve to be treated with respect and professionalism when seeking medical care.

    My experience with Dr. Helliwell was great. My issue is…read morewith the staff. A few times, the communication was extremely poor which resulted in me having to return to the office three times for lab work. Also, one time I went to my ultrasound appointment alone without my husband and the lady barely talked to me. When she did, she was rude and when we were done, she tossed my ultrasound photo on the table and told me to get it. I have no negative reviews about the doctor, but the staff needs to be better. Lastly, their billing department never answers the phone or returns calls, so if you have any issues, good luck with that.

    Ok I was just reading through the reviews and saw that it was 5 years ago I wrote my review and…read morewanted to give another update. So now I'm 15 years out and my results are still amazing. Tummy still tight, breasts are looking good. Fantastic work IMHO. Now I would consider some work on my face and definitely would consult with Dr. Shah since I have a friend who still loves her facelift after probably 15 years.

    This was the WORST place ever. My daughter was scheduled to have her implants removed and replaced…read moredue to severe scar tissue. We live 2 hours away and our appointment was scheduled for 9:30. On our way there we received a call telling us that appointment was changed to 10:30. When we arrived we were then told that it would be another hour because the doctor had gotten stuck in traffic on his drive over from Malibu. We tried to check in to our motel room but the room wasn't ready. When we went back to Beautologie at 11:30, the young man at the counter said that we could wait in the outer room. Several people we spoke to said that the person they were with had been taken in at 7:00 a.m. Other clients came to the door throughout the day but were not allowed to stay in the outer room where we were due to COVID restrictions and there only being 2 chairs. They were told to wait in their vehicle until called. After repeatedly asking the young man when we were going to be seen, he disappeared for over an hour. My daughter had not eaten anything since 9:00 p.m. the night before and was starving. She FINALLY got taken back around 3:30 for prep and taken in for surgery around 4:30. There were 2 patients that were scheduled after her. I picked her up a little after 6:00 p.m. and we went to our motel. She was in extreme pain and had been sent home with 0.5 mg of Tramadol, which did nothing. My bull-mastiff was prescribed 0.50 mg of Tramadol when she had surgery, so you can see the dosage was inadequate to begin with. We returned the following day because my daughter was in tears, and they gave her an additional medication, Amitriptyline 25 mg, a muscle relaxer/anti-depressant that did NOTHING for the pain. We went to see a local doctor on the 3rd day after surgery because she was in such extreme pain and unable to sleep. He could not believe that the surgeon did not give her a stronger medication to manage her pain so he prescribed Norco which worked. As if this wasn't bad enough, they assured her that they would bill her insurance because she paid cash before her surgery and the patient coordinator assured her that it would all be taken care of. They were extremely helpful until after they received payment in full. Beautologie has been telling my daughter for 3 months now that an insurance claim was filed, however the insurance company hasn't received ANYTHING. Now my daughter is trying to file a claim herself, but the patient coordinator will not respond to my daughters phone calls or text messages for the necessary documentation. The worst part is that her breasts are visibly uneven, and she is extremely self-conscious now. It is obvious that the surgeon was in a hurry and did not take the time to do a good job. Would NEVER recommend this place for ANYTHING!
