    Dr Pelle is rude and insensitive. I do not recommend this place if you want to be treated with respect and full care.

    I am interested in starting IPL or BBL therapy again for facial erythema. I was just curious if the office charges for visit PLUS elective treatment or just treatment? I understand actual cost would be explained at consultation.

    We can connect you with Chloe. She can call you back if you send your number or she can be reached at nurse@medderm.net. She is very good and explains the cosmetic options.

    Do your doctors extract milia?

    Yes. But I recommend our LVN - she does facials that focus on mila

    I got masseter botox by Dr Hess and it was the best experience I could have asked for…read more I've had bad experiences before at other med spas, but Dr Hess and his staff made me feel completely at ease. So I can say from experience, that the quality of the injector makes a huge difference. You definitely get what you pay for. Having a wide face has always been a complex of mine, and the masseter botox made my face slimmer, more proportional, and just snatched my face. I wanted results that are noticeable, but natural and that's exactly what I got. I highly recommend Dr Hess and his clinic, and I would never trust any one else with my face again.

    A year ago I got sub fascial breast implants with Dr. Hess. His bedside manner is not only…read morespectacular but I feel genuine empathy and care from him. He was very down to earth and knowledgeable, took his time answering my questions and made sure we were going with the right surgical choices. As soon as I had the consultation I knew he was the right surgeon for me. Since having my procedure I have been very pleased with the symmetry of my breasts and overall appearance. I'm able to do all of my upper body exercises and my new breasts suit my frame very well. He was able to go off my inspiration photos and created a very similar result. Dr. Hess is not only a surgeon but an artist of his craft- he pays close attention to detail and is a perfectionist. His standard of care is unparalleled. I couldn't have asked for a better final result and a year later everything is going smoothly. I did miss my last follow up with him but I hope this review serves as a statement of confidence and satisfaction from a happy patient. For future surgical procedures I would feel very safe in his hands.

    I'm a bit over 3 months out from chin and jaw lipo at Avalon and couldn't be happier with the…read moreresults and my experience. 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. Post-op guidance and follow-up was thorough, and I never felt like Dr. Tergari was trying to sell me on additional procedures. This was my first aesthetic procedure in San Diego, and I'd absolutely go back to Avalon for anything else I choose to do in the future!

    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.

Oh and I know her time so much more valuable than mine, because then I'm waiting a half hour in her office just to be seen for under 2 minutes..only to find out that she's unable to help me with my concerns..and I had to choose "only one concern...." her nurse said. Her staff is actually very nice. One of them said, "I'm sorry I'm just the messager" It's pretty ridiculous that patients get treated this way. I walked out of her office mid appointment so upset...she basically doesn't care.. No one deserves to be treated this way and every single time I've come here I am extremely rushed, like no joke, 2 minutes. I got diagnosed with pah from CoolSculpting, and adverse reaction where the fat actually grows instead of dies. I suffered for almost a year until I got surgery. Before surgery Dr Lisa told me she had the same experience with pah on her back, they do CoolSculpting at their office too, but she said she wouldn't do it on anyone because of her experience! It's now been 4 months since I have have had surgery (amazing doc in Maui )and I was excited to tell her about my recovery and had a few questions with healing, but she has NO time to listen, care for, or educate her patients. You would think that someone that has gone through this would have an drop of empathy in their heart for someone that has suffered for almost a year with fat growing on there face even?! Like women to women...wtf? What's wrong with people? It's really unfortunate there are doctors out here that are "caring" for their patients.

    Let me start by saying that Dr. Gilani herself was fantastic. I had a consultation with her and…read moreshe was pleasant, attentive, and answered all of my questions. During the consultation, she did a diagnostic endoscope. Everything seemed straightforward until I got the bill. The endoscope cost $3,000 and was higher than at other locations because this building is new. I called the billing department to discuss this and was told that there was nothing they would do. I was never told that the endoscope was not part of the consultation and when I brought this up to the billing office, they told me that I should have called my insurance to get an estimate before the procedure. tl;dr - Dr. Gilani herself is great, but you will get charged more because she works in a nice new building. And make sure you don't agree to anything other than a conversation without getting an estimate first.
