Doctor Taylor was engaged, explained the injury and what I needed to do to regain mobility in my hand. The nursing staff was very supportive & I felt like I was in good hands. On follow-up I met with Jonathan & he was also superb. Asked questions, and made a number of suggestions that I think will be very useful. Jonathan thought to ask about other potential injuries from the fall to look out for - I'd banged my knee pretty hard, but it had been kinda neglected. Good experience all around (except for the accident part).

How easy would it be to have a TV there in each room? Hotels charge 5x less and provide at least a cheap entry level flat screen. I'm actually pleased with the staff. It's a busy place even with a good amount of staff. So I'm not sure why all button issues take too long. It's confusing. I wish the design was better oriented for easy access to outside enjoyment. Like even for bedbound people.

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience getting chemical peels here! From the moment…read moreI walked in, I felt completely comfortable and taken care of. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and truly passionate about skincare. Before starting my treatments, they thoroughly explained the process, what to expect during healing, and customized the peel specifically for my skin goals. I appreciated how they focused on both results and safety. After a series of chemical peels, my skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even than it has in years. My texture has improved so much, dark spots have faded, and I'm constantly getting compliments on how healthy and glowy my skin looks. The downtime was exactly as described, and I felt supported the entire time. If you've been considering chemical peels but feel nervous, this is your sign to book it. I'm beyond happy with my results and will absolutely continue coming back. Highly recommend!

I've been here several times and have spent a couple of thousand dollars on various products and…read moreprocedures. Overall, my experiences initially were very positive--the staff has always been friendly, and the services started out great. My most recent service was a laser treatment (similar to IPL but more advanced) intended to treat dark spots, which cost around $600. During the treatment, my entire face was treated except for the high cheekbone area beneath my eyes, which unfortunately is where my darkest spots are. At my follow-up appointment, I pointed this out and was told that the area had been missed because the eye covers blocked it. I was advised to schedule another appointment to treat those spots, at an additional cost of $10 per zap. While it was frustrating that this wasn't addressed during the original treatment--especially given the cost--I agreed to book another appointment to have the areas treated. When I arrived for that appointment, I was informed that one of the spots would need to be reviewed by a doctor before they could proceed. This was surprising, as I've been in approximately five times, had multiple face scans, and discussed my dark spots in detail on several occasions. At no point prior to this visit was it mentioned that a doctor's review would be required--particularly before scheduling an appointment that was specifically meant to address that spot. The overall impression I was left with is that unless you are booking a higher-priced treatment, your time and concerns are not a priority. While I absolutely respect referring a client to a specialist when medically appropriate, it was disappointing that this requirement was only raised once I arrived for an appointment where the total charge would have been minimal. Unfortunately, this resulted in wasted time and left me questioning the consistency of care.

Excellent Service with Expert Knowledge!…read more I recently had the pleasure of utilizing Dr. Podell's services. For years I've dealt with back pain issues. Having spent most of my adult life in the Marine Corps I was no stranger to the gym. Several years of physical stress has taken a toll on my body and especially my back. After waking up one morning barely able to stand up I decided to see a chiropractor and Dr. Podell came highly recommended by some friends. After an adjustment by the Dr. and a focused massage by Holly the pain immediately started to decrease. Two therapeutic massages later I feel like my old self and am back in the gym working towards my next goal. The staff here is incredibly professional and very nice. I would defiantly recommend Dr. Podell's office to my friends and family.
