It has now been a year since my surgery, and I just have to say... WOW…read more If you're a younger person thinking about getting lower blepharoplasty for natural under-eye bags, listen up! I'm 26 now, and was sort of miserably self conscious about bags under my eyes for years. I tried everything; creams, tea bags, YES I SLEPT ENOUGH (people telling me to sleep more got really old). I just had these natural fat pockets under my eyes, and I definitely didn't want to inject anything into my face. That's when I discovered Artful Surgery, and Dr. Lee talked me through everything. The process sounded a little scary, but she was so reassuring the entire time. She would ask me if I was sure, and didn't try and talk me into anything. She also explained how the healing process would actually be pretty quick, and it was! Even in the surgery room she checked one last time that I wanted to go through with it. I'm so glad I did! I was in bed for about a week with painkillers and ice on my eyes, and it hardly hurt at all!! I was a little puffy for a while, but tried putting makeup on after two weeks. It took a sec to figure out my new correct makeup (I had been using mega concealing stuff like Tart, which didn't work for my new eyes). But over time, the results just got better and better. The best part is, I just don't NOTICE it anymore. I don't look drastically different, and I still have natural creasing, but I don't get asked if I'm tired any more. And looking at photos, I feel more confident!! After a year, it looks even better than I could have hoped, and I'm so happy I did this and went with Dr. Lee. She was great about checking up on me after the fact, and was very responsive to any post-op questions I had. All in all, this was really a fantastic decision for the rest of my life!!! Thank you Dr. Lee!!

His approach is highly individualized, with careful attention to each patient's unique features and goals rather than a standardized treatment plan. He demonstrates exceptional precision and a refined artistic eye, producing results that are both natural and aesthetically balanced. His ability to combine technical expertise with a nuanced understanding of facial and body harmony truly sets him apart. In addition to his clinical excellence, Dr. Lavey is warm, attentive, and deeply committed to patient care. He takes the time to ensure clear communication and alignment on expectations, which creates a strong sense of trust and confidence throughout the process. His office staff reflects the same level of professionalism--welcoming, respectful, and highly organized--contributing to a seamless and comfortable experience.

Unfortunately, he went too deep and caused permanent facial scarring that, after more than a decade and multiple corrective procedures, is still deeply embedded. What was especially troubling was that afterward he asked me to backdate a release, then essentially told me there wasn't much he could do and repeatedly apologized. I would be very cautious about going to him and strongly recommend getting a second opinion. My experience was very different from what he claims he can achieve.

I couldn't be happier with my experience and results. Dr Parhiscar is incredibly talented, compassionate, and truly dedicated to his patients. From the beginning, I felt listened to, cared for, and confident that I was in the best hands. He even took the time to draw me pictures of the procedure before and after surgery because he knew I had lots of questions and concerns. He has an incredible eye for detail and created a result that looks beautiful and natural while still feeling like me. I'm so grateful for the care, expertise, and artistry he put into my surgery. My results have exceeded my expectations, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering rhinoplasty. You will feel at ease from the moment you meet Dr Parhiscar, I truly trusted him from day one of my journey. I would also like to compliment Kris who works in the office with the doctor. She is so very thorough with the surgery planning process and walked me through everything step by step. She is very kind and caring and compassionate and is a wonderful asset to this practice. Thank you for giving me results I absolutely love and an experience I will always be grateful for!

I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am for the care I've received at MSPA, so I'll…read morejust share my story and hope it helps someone else. For a long time, I wasn't feeling like myself -- constant sadness, low energy, painful periods, and so many other symptoms that were affecting my quality of life. My doctor at Kaiser suggested it was depression, but something inside me kept telling me there was more to it. I started doing my own research and learned about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). I didn't know MSPA offered it until they sent me an invitation last October. I made an appointment right away. From the very first visit, the staff made me feel heard and comfortable. They were kind, patient, and took the time to walk me through everything -- what the treatment involved, what to expect, and why it might help. They sent me to Quest Diagnostics for bloodwork to check my hormone levels, and after reviewing the results, we moved forward with the procedure. It was quick -- about 10 minutes -- and the only discomfort was a brief sting from the anesthesia. Within the first month, I noticed a remarkable difference. For the first time in my life, I had my period with NO cramps. I felt happy -- genuinely happy. It's hard to describe, but it's like I finally wanted to live again. Six months in, and there is no going back. This has been a life-changing experience. It turns out it wasn't depression or me "feeling crazy" -- it was my hormones. I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the incredible staff -- Stacey, Brittany, and Hailey -- as well as the friendly and welcoming team at the front desk. You are all truly appreciated -- every single one of you. From the moment I walked in, you made me feel welcome, cared for, and never rushed. Your warmth and professionalism made a huge difference in my experience, and I am truly grateful for each of you. I can't recommend this team enough.

He has a great eye for delivering natural results and is incredibly knowledgeable. His staff is always warm and welcoming, and he has such a calm, attentive bedside manner. He really takes the time to listen and understand your concerns. One of the biggest benefits has been the relief from my headaches. The Botox has significantly reduced my pain and has made a noticeable difference in my day to day life. I didn't realize how much it was affecting me until I finally experienced consistent relief. I tend to downplay my own health issues, so I especially appreciate how thorough and thoughtful he's been. Without ever being pushy, he helped identify things I had brushed off for years, like a deviated septum and valve concerns etc. I had normalized my breathing difficulties, but thanks to his approach, I'm finally taking charge of my health and moving forward with the right specialist care. I'm so grateful, not just for the natural results, but for the real improvement in my quality of life. Thank you Dr. Conderman.

Now I can use just the minimum needed to enhance features.   In addition to his impressive surgical skill, Dr. Conderman's relaxed personality and approachable demeanor made me comfortable from our first meeting.  He allowed plenty of time in my appointments to answer all my questions, and his follow-up care was equally attentive.  Staff at both his office and the surgery center were friendly, courteous, and efficient. They always made me feel welcome. I couldn't have chosen a better doctor, and I'm very lucky, and grateful, to be his patient.

By utilizing this advanced technology, Dr. Zaka is shifting patient care from reactive treatments to highly precise, predictive, and preventative care. Having my treatments backed by this kind of sub-surface data gives me immense confidence in my long-term results.

Dr. Fiedler is probably the most incompetent, medical…read moreprofessional I have ever seen. I liked her energy at the initial visit. Her office staff seems to be nice however I had several incidents occur big red flags which made me question her practice. I tried to leave the office but they have a 60 day cancellation policy which means I was stuck with an incompetent doctor and pay my membership dues for the next 2 months. Fast forward 60 days and they're still trying to charge me for an additional 30 days. No response from the doctor. Money money money.. excuses after another. She cannot even get a simple blood work order in correctly. This woman is an awful excuse and shame for any person in medicine.

At least the Lafayette community can go to Fiedler for free drug prescriptions, did you hear that kids? She took no time to understand my medical history and issues to make an appropriate diagnosis. In all, Fiedler's attitude is shocking, assuming she would be more personable and caring towards her patients when they express their problems rather than disregarding and minimizing them. A waste of an office visit, a waste of money, and a waste of this woman going to school to become a Physician.
