I've been to Dr Kovak many times for different issues, but the first time was to get rid of the appearance of veins under my eyes and few spider veins on my face that occurred as a result of waxing away that peach fuzz (eye veins unrelated). Dr Kovak is very compassionate and reasonable with the prices. I paid far more at a random laser center when I received a treatment for over 150 that did nothing where as Dr. Kovak zapped the tiny area for basically nothing after doing my under eye area which was very reasonable. I had done fillers from another doc long before I knew Dr Kovak and it wasn't a good experience for me, Dr Kovak is someone I've come to trust. That previous doctor was giving me vitrase in order to dissolve the product that migrated to above and below my lips and used a bit of steriod in the mix for the nodules I developed and it cause a dent/indentation or atrophy in my upper lip that looked pretty bad. So I went back to Dr Kovak to help fix the issue. I did my own research into successful treatments for atrophy and came across many studies on saline injections that reverse the atrophy over time by diluting the steriod crystals that prevent the fat tissue from regenerating. Dr. Kovak was concerned that I had steriod put in my face and he said you may need filler to fill the area because it may be permanent but he would be willing to try the saline injections first that I asked about... he suggested 3 times once a month. The studies I read they used a protocol of 1 time a week 4 to 6 times and when I mentioned that to Dr the next time I saw him and He said okay! Let's do it! He clearly cares about and listens to his patients and he doesn't have that large ego you're used to seeing with very successful Drs like him. I love this man, we need more Drs like him in the world. So far, I've had 3 saline injections and the indentation is getting less and less. The dr noticed it changing too. I am blessed to have found him. I saw a review that compared oak brook terrace to villa Park and she sounds sad. Hopefully she gets help with that delusion and finds a dr that's more her vibration and I don't envy that person. Thank you Dr Kovak, I'll only come to you when I try for fillers again. So blessed to have found you. read more

Don't waste your time. Came here for Botox twice, first time went well, however it didn't last long. Gave them a try again, the charge per area not per unit, no matter how little or how much you get you will be charged by the area, at my two week mark I still had movement in my face so I came back for a touch up and they tried to charge me for the touch up, even though you can't pay per unit. I am under the impression that if you charge by area and need a touch up then you shouldn't be charged. It's completely laughable. I will never come here again. read more

I made an appt to discuss 2 things. When inquiring about cost, I was told it would be "$25 for an office visit" which I had to prepay to discuss going on Retin-A. Dr. Kovak agreed to send in Rx to Walgreens. Upon leaving appointment, Sandy Kovak told me there was a $100 Fee for Writing a Prescription. Then she told me it was a Consultation Fee which contradicted what I was told when making the appointment (Office Visit). This was never disclosed nor stated when I inquired about the costs when making the appointment nor during the exam. It is unusual and improper for a doctor's office to charge a separate $100 prescription fee on top of an office visit charge, especially if it was not disclosed upfront. A prescription is generally considered part of the treatment included in the cost of the office visit. I have asked for this charge to be reversed and to have Dr. Kovak return my call. read more

Dr Kovak is the best injector you will find anywhere !! If you need filler have him do it ! He also has a good eye and technique to putting the filler in where you need it. read more

Rip off Dr. Kovak is all talk like a used car salesman. And arrorgant. You you are put in a room all see see and hear are loop videos. Very disappointed with a 1-yr scupta treatment and his response was "oh well". Can't help you- offered nothing. A hack. read more

I have been going to Dr Kovac for a few years and was very happy with the results. I had fillers done in late July/follow up in early August and they dissolved in less than 2.5 months, I did talk to Sandy and she said my body might have built up an immunity to the Restalyn and I could come in and get them redone for 700.00. I really do not want to-risk spending another 700 for a product that my body might reject. With that said I would still say Dr Kovac is excellent at what he does but will not get the injections again. read more

I found this practice while doing research on providers that do Sculptra. It was a treatment that I wanted but was very nervous about and I wanted to make sure I was going to an experienced, knowledgeable provider. Dr. Kovak is an expert on this treatment and even teaches other providers. His wife works at this center and has been getting this treatment done by him herself for 18+ years. She patiently answered all the questions and concerns I had. I first started Sculptra 4 years ago when I was 37 and I will say that this is hands-down the best anti-aging treatment I have gotten. It re-volumized my face naturally and elegantly and I have had none of the scary complications (nodules, granulomas, etc.) that I was nervous about. It is not a quick-fix because the results take several months to build up, but once the collagen builds, the volume is long-lasting. Dr. Kovak is kind and has great bedside manner. I also go to him for under eye filler and have always been happy with the results. read more

Scam, way overpriced, beware of this one. The Doctor will quote you a price that you've never seen before. He does Botox by "areas" and charges 3x as much as any other place. Do yourself a favor and Stay away from this place! read more

Dr. Kovak was great, very personable and friendly. Explained things well. However his staff was not. especially the front desk (Sandy mostly) she was mean and got extremely annoyed when I asked basic questions about the procedure. I was shocked. It seemed like she wanted to kill me for no reason. Also they did not give me a print out with any after care instructors or anything regarding the procedure itself so odd. Anyway, if you're looking for a friendly staff this is not the place. If you're looking for friendly doctor then it works. The procedure went very well but need to wait to see if it worked. read more

I love Dr. Kovak, his work is pretty pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. While you can go see a nurse injector, for me I prefer a doctor who is more specialized in what I need to get done. Always pleased with my results and can't complain about his work. Definitely recommend him to anyone for laser, fillers, Botox, any other cosmetic products . read more

My regular injector at another spa was on vacation and I really needed my Botox... so I went to Dr.Kovac! Huge mistake! He gave me jeuveau ( which I normally get) and it didn't work!!!! He brought the syringes into the room with jeuveau already in them!!!! My injector draws the jeuveau into the syringe in the room in front of me! What cheap junk did kovac put in my face!!!! He way overcharged me as well!!! Then he tried to talk me into getting filler for in my smile lines for $800/syringe!!! I laughed in his face!!! What a rip off!!!!!! What a joke! Then he talked about Emface for $1000 a session! Told me I would need 5 sessions!!! Stay far away!!!!! He just wants your money!!!! Run! I will never ever go anywhere except my regular injector!!!! Avoid kovac at all costs read more

This place is amazing, I loved it a lot, the staffs are nice. All the nurses are very nice too, very welcome, friendly and their works are extremely good, Tony and Vicky are the best, they know what they are doing, I highly recommended. Doctor Kovak is the best of the best, he knows and understands what ladies needed and fixes it as you wish. I liked him and highly recommended. I will stick to doc Kovak for my future treatment. Thank you and thank you for all the works. read more

No bruising , no pain!!! They sure have a great team there, happy & it shows! Great Doc, Great Staff I can't even imagine going anywhere else ! read more

Folks, I've been getting neurotox for probably seven years in many different places in Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois. He by far surpasses any clinician with how thorough and how he listened to what I wanted to achieve and what my past experience was(Not great). I'm so glad I was fortunate of find him, & it makes me think I should've sought out Plastic surgeons that do injectables long ago, but even then he's more unique in how he may change dilutions even from the standard whether you want subtle or dramatic. Don't hesitate. He's a little pricier than I am used to but I'll gladly pay extra for his expertise and skill. read more

I came here today with my friend for skincare. First, the receptionist old lady was cute and friendly. But the people work in there that the way they talk to us was so rude, bad experience, and not good service to the customer at all. Referred people NOT to come here. Bad experience! read more

I can not be happier with my recent visit at dr Kovak office in Oakbrook. He is amazing and very welcoming ( good energy) Made me feel comfortable and informed He listens so well to achieve exactly what I wanted Didn't push me with any of the services he provides, and gave me the choice to make a right decision Usually the best advices are free and simple He was right when he told me that the smile is the best solution for any imperfections Dr Kovak's office is amazing and I felt I am in Beverly Hills for a moment I highly recommend dr Kovak for every woman who wants to look and feel more beautiful ! read more

Dr. Kovak was recommended to me by a friend who always does her homework!! Has had this secret with her for 10 years, until recently she shared. Ever walk in to an office where they don't even great you?? Not there, the staff is professional, friendly and always helpful. Dr. Kovak is patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. He is a true Gem in the Industry. read more

I hadn't gone for my rosacea treatment for about two years and it had started acting up. The last month I went for 2 treatments to calm my face down and I am so happy with the results. Thank you so much! read more

Friendly and professional and always gives fair pricing since I am a self pay. I choose to go straight to Dr. Kovak instead of waiting to jump through hoops my HMO requires. Friendly staff, also. read more

I love this place!!! Kovak is an extremely caring and kind individual who is not out to make a buck. He has your best interest at heart and never tries to sell you something you don't need or that won't provide you with the results you seek. I highly recommend to anyone who just wants an honest opinion and advice from a professional like him. If there were 10 stars available I would most definitely give him those! Oh and I don't want to leave his staff out... they totally rock as well always so kind and professional. I will never go to another Cosmetic center. I will be a patient here till the end of my days. read more

Second or third rate Plastic surgeons that don't really help patients lol. I wasted two trips here and was never given a price quote for my cheif complaint ?? Overpriced lip injections... $800. It's not even OAK BROOK it's OAKBROOK TERRACE aka VILLA PARK. They're charging LA prices in da hood ha haha oh well- I do not recommend ! read more

I would never ever recommend this doctor. Paid $5000 for a procedure and received no/0 results. It took seven months and I mentioned to him midway it was doing nothing but he did nothing. At the end I expressed the disappointment in the procedure at all he did was deny even after reviewing the before and after photos. I understand there's no guarantee, but is there no character or ethics or integrity involved?It's all about fast talking and greedy. And he is a very fast talker so beware, so our snake oil salesman. read more

Horrible place. They are so arrogant here, especially Dr. Kovak, who kept calling me sweetie . You make an appointment just to talk about pricing. I waited 20 minutes before the doctor got there. I talked about tattoo removal. He explained things to me like I was 5. When I asked him how much a session is, he said $200 per treatment! That's highway robbery. Dr. Kovak is very arrogant, rude and condescending. He just cares about the money. read more

If there were the ability to add additional stars I would! For background, I went for a consultation about skin tightening treatments. I found Dr Kovak very personable, attentive, and provided realistic expectations regarding what I can expect for results. The office staff is amazing- they are such a good group of people! I wanted to call a shout out to Fran - as she worked around my crazy schedule to get me in- and also really quickly! They are a great team! Definitely recommend the practice to everyone- they will not disappoint! read more

Dr Kovak is a knowledgeble specialist, he is polite and professional. I have never had a problem with any treatment. However there is a huge problem with wait time. Every time I came I had to wait for at least an hour before being seen. I had to come a few times because of laser ( a few procedures are needed) but I had to abandon my treatment after last incident. I came in on time for a scheduled appointment and the waiting began, I already knew from previous experience that it will be an hour or so but after waiting for 90 minutes I just got up and left. It's disrespectful to have somebody wait like that, if my time is not valued than I will take my business elsewhere. I understand that there might have been an emergency or who knows what but the front desk did not communicate at all. I am sorry for the doctor who is loosing clients because his front desk has zero clue what to do with the schedule and wait time. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Kovak's for 15 years, he is a talented injector and is very knowledgeable about anatomy and various fillers for a beautiful result always. read more

Growing up, I was always tiny and trim, but always with a little fat under my chin. Apparently, that's a Thing sometimes gifted by genes. In adulthood, it's that part of myself I least like. Recently, I heard that the FDA approved an injectible drug that dissolves submental fat, with very little or no downtime, so I inquired with this office, about which I'd heard good things. I've been twice now for Kybella injections, plus the initial consultation. Every part of the experience with Dr. Kovak and his team has been flawless, and I feel that I'm in very good hands. Dr. Kovak's technique is highly experienced and meticulous. Any time someone injects something into your neck area, it should hurt a little, but the pain has been truly minimal. A month after the first treatment, we could see from the 3D photos comparison that the Kybella was somewhat effective. I had a second treatment, which involved fewer injections than the first round. So far, so good! Great care, obviously concerned for safety, and pleasant people. I can only give them five stars. read more

I was looking to get the doctor to remove a tattoo of mine. I chose them, because I used them before, for skin issues. The plan was to go in for the consultation, then plan out the sessions. I went to the website, and they stated that the consultation was free. I signed up. 30 minutes later, a lady from Kovak called me. With a loud and rude voice, she told me that I have already received a free consultation, so the office visit would cost me Seventy-Nine dollars. I informed her that I never had a free consultation, and that the previous times I was there was for dermatology, and they were paid visits. She said that I still had to pay Seventy-Nine dollars. This was done in a real rude, uncaring, and aggressive tone. She was constantly trying to correct me, when I wasn't even wrong. Nothing I was used to hear from visiting there. I finally asked her, that if I had to pay for the visit, would I at least get my first laser treatment done. She literally huffed, told me she would have to see what she could do, and asked me to hold for two minutes. There at least two other laser removal companies in the same area that would treat their customers better than she did, within that two minute call. Instead of waiting, I informed her to cancel the whole consultation. You gotta have pride in your work. If you are customer service, do not call someone, with an attitude problem. Because of her, I don't feel comfortable going back there. FYI, this isn't a review of the actual doctor's capabilities. I've had no problems with them. All of my questions were answered well, when I interacted with the doctors. The only reason why I'm keeping this review up, past the angry period, is to show how fragile customer service is to a company. Later that day, the actual doctor called me, trying to smooth things over. But, the lady on the phone made it so I don't want to ever interact with her. It's a shame, but, there are other places. Hopefully, this is just a learning process, and she will become better for the future patients. read more

Dr. Kovak is an extremely talented and dedicated cosmetic surgeon. I've had Botox, liposuction as well as dermal fillers and he has done an outstanding job every time. He has access to all the latest treatments whatever your preference (more invasive or less invasive) and his office staff is extremely accommodating. The facility has a beautiful, relaxing and clean interior. I would highly recommend Dr. KovaK above any other cosmetic surgeon in the area. read more

The place is super nice and clean and the staff was nice, but this is NOT the place to go to for laser tattoo removal. I felt a bit judged and uncomfortable and the doctor is just not experienced/knowledgeable about tattoo removal. didn't ice the tattoo before or after the laser so it hurt more and they put aquaphor and saran wrap on the tattoo after which you're not supposed to do (the saran wrap traps the heat in and can cause blisters). they also wanted me to come back in 4 weeks when you should wait a minimum of 8 weeks in between laser tattoo removal sessions. there are definitely better places in the area for laser tattoo removal. read more

The tattoo treatments are great and although it takes many treatments, it is well worth it. I really like Dr Kovak and the office is very nice. Recently i went to Dr Chung and I don't particularly care for her. She is impatient and borderline rude. I went in for tiny flesh colored bumps, not acne, to get removed. I was so excited to have them lasered off but now i just have huge red scars on my face. I went in for a follow up indicating that i had not expected to have red marks on my face where the bumps were. I explained and she said, well you do have fair skin...... How would i have known that? I am now twice as embarrassed of my face as i was before. read more

Beautiful office and kind staff. I've been twice for some laser treatments. Once a few years ago and again recently. Both times the staff and Dr Kovak have been friendly and great. They follow covid protocols by wearing masks and taking temps before entering building. read more

I've struggled with acne and have seen many doctors for it. Dr. Kovak is the only one who has successfully helped me clear it up over the years. He's helped me with medications and treatments like the microdermabrasion, peels, facials, and the blue light. I've gotten laser hair removal and I recommend that as well. His staff is so accommodating and friendly. He's the only doctor I trust with my botox and fillers. He knows how to make fillers look natural and doesn't leave any bruising. read more

Where do I begin? Hello I'm Lina Goldsmith. I absolutely adore the staff at Kovak Cosmetic Center. They are so kind and caring. I was a first time patient and I felt like family. Stan Kovak who is Dr Kovak ,... well his brother comes around and speaks with me and shook my hand so very kind talking with me. The girls that work in office are SUPERB!!!! Carolyn, Fran, Abby, Sandy(Sandra), and the man there ,.. SAM.... all of them treated me so kind. I traveled in from LA and becoming a new Flight Attendant and my mommy was in ICU here in illinois and I was just caring for all and still had to do what I was told to rid of my tattoo. Just the care and facts of how Dr. Kovak shared with me almost like he didnot want me to have to do it. I was determined tho. Female determination comes from somewhere else,... especially when you are an Aquarius female. Lol. Stan just was there for me and he believed in me and knew this is what I wanted. I'm healing so great right now. The staff is the greatest. So great I'm returning on the 26 Dec for the next and final treatment. I'm so happy I found Kovak Cosmetic Center. I will be flying back to do some Botox and other beauty based treatments. All of you there please please I hope I have the names down. Maybe a couple I missed. I thank you all for putting me at ease. I needed that so very much. Respectfully Yours, Lina Goldsmith read more

I met Dr Caughlin almost a year ago at another office. I followed him here because I trust him. He does excellent work & is very capable. He's up to date on the current trends regarding wellness & anti aging techniques. Dr Kovak has covered for him on a few occasions and is very well mannered and patient. I will continue my treatments here. Liz & all the staff are excellent at what they do! read more

I have been treated by both Dr. Kovak and Dr. Cheung and I too am a bit surprised at reading others' experiences here in their reviews. I have been a frequent visitor to the office since I am working on getting a tattoo removed, which in itself is NOT a pleasant experience (and requires many visits). However, I've found both doctors to be incredibly knowledgeable, with great "bedside manners." They've both always been nothing but patient and polite with me. They have taken the time to get to know me as a person, not just as a patient. I'm so glad that I found this office and that they've helped me through a pretty lousy procedure. If you're looking for a place to go for tattoo removal, I'd suggest at least going in for the free consult - you can make your own decision if they're the place for you or not, but I personally would recommend either doctor for any treatments. read more

Dr. Kovak was honest, thorough and helpful. I had very visible blue under eye veins and he offered an affordable laser treatment option for me. (A competitor had tried to charge me 2 times as much!) I had my treatment and I look so much better. This will restore my confidence! read more

I started seeing Dr Kovak about a month ago to have a tattoo removed from my right thumb. During the consultation, Dr Kovak was very informative, empathetic, (the tattoo is blown out out, not evenly aligned, and I'm scarred from it; the person who did it did not know what they doing), and Dr Kovak was very up front about the cost and time the removal would take. I will have to go for multiple treatments, due to the fact that the tattoo was so poorly done, but it will be worth it. The clerical and medical staff are courteous, professional, and go above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. Would definitely recommend for tattoo removal. read more
