For the past several years, I was considering getting facial rejuvenation surgery, but was hesitant…read morebecause I knew others who did not get a good result from a similar procedure. After learning about Dr. DeMars, I decided to travel to Portland (from Hawaii) because he came so highly recommended. At my initial consultation, Dr. DeMars thoroughly explained my options and discussed the elements of the surgery. He took the time to answer my many questions and never made me feel rushed. His staff provided me with written information and what to expect before, during and after the surgery. I was also shown an informative video. I never felt pressured to make my decision and left the office feeling well informed and confident in Dr. DeMars and his team. Whenever I called to ask follow-up questions, I was greeted warmly and my questions were quickly answered. Four months later, I traveled back to Portland to have the surgery. Every step of the way, I was made to feel comfortable, valued and cared for. The facility is lovely and contributed to my level of comfort. The nurses were wonderful and made sure I had everything I needed. The anesthesiologist spent a long time with me going over what would happen during the surgery, answering my questions, and making sure I was comfortable with the process. Dr. DeMars came in and again discussed what he would be doing. Before I knew it, I was out of surgery and in recovery. The nurses were very attentive, and I was surprised at how good I felt. I was also amazed that after only a week post-surgery, I was able to go out in public! There was minimal pain and discomfort, and my recovery was a breeze. The results are fantastic, and I look 15 years younger....but completely natural. My friends comment on how refreshed and relaxed I look, but aren't aware I had anything done. I couldn't be happier with Dr. DeMars and his team and wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend him to anyone who is considering cosmetic surgery. You won't be disappointed!

Nice, professional practice | Sarah is knowledgeable…read more I didn't receive any treatment from here. I went in collecting information to see if a treatment would be right for my concerns. I've never had any botox, filler, or any cosmetic surgeries done, but I was interested in potentially getting a Radiesse injection to a superficial acne scar on my chin. This place is very professional and in a great location. From the very beginning, I was impressed with being able to get a consultation appointment within a few days as a new client. I was given two options: $200 consultation with Dr. Burgess or complimentary with a nurse. I chose a complimentary consultation with a nurse. The office is very neat, clean, offers a good selection of reputable skincare lines, and Dr. Burgess's magazine in the lobby. And prior to my appointment, paperwork was done online to streamline the appointment process. They're very efficient. My nurse was Sarah, who was very polite and knowledgeable. We talked about my health history, my skin concerns, and she took photos of my face for their files. She was thorough throughout the process. After examining my scar, she determined that my scar was superficial and Radiesse would do more harm than any improvement. She recommended EZ gel, which is a more natural injection with less risk of lumps/bumps since it comprises of my own blood. I really liked her suggestion. She said that EZ gel is best done in a series, so I would start with 3 spaced 4-6 weeks. Each injection is $1000. Sarah worked with stroke patients before working at this practice. She has a lot of experience with EZ gel, so I felt comfortable going with her. Financing is available. They accept credit cards, cash, HSA, and a Care Credit. You can apply for this credit card and set up a payment plan with that. I spoke with Maya also, and while she answered any further questions I had, I just didn't feel encouraged to book my injection appointment after speaking with her. Overall, I had a good experience and was impressed with this office.

The offices in both cities are lovely, the staff immensely helpful and warm, anesthesiologists top of the line, and pre-and-post-op care very thorough. The best part of my experience was being able to trust the skill of Dr. Portuese. He (somehow) transformed my nose into a well-balanced, lovely version of itself. Even though I'm a rather reserved person, I posted my photos on realself.com and hope that will be helpful to someone else who is doing their research into surgeons. I know I spent countless hours looking at photos, figuring out if I could actually go through with changing a facial feature as prominent as the nose. Well, I did it! And here I am just a few months after surgery, and I rarely even think about my nose, it's just that good of a fit! Recovery for me was issue-free (thank goodness!). It was a bit rough to be down and bandaged up for a week, then it was back to the full-time work at the 10 day mark. I'm glad I planned for that amount of time, as it was just about perfect. My in-office computer generated photo is spot-on with my actual result. My life-long wish has turned out so well! Best compliment from someone I confided in, "You still look like yourself - but with a lot more "good" angles!" Highly recommend doing a consult with Dr. P if you are going to do rhinoplasty. He easily beat out the 3 other Portland surgeons I interviewed for this surgery with his experience - specializing in the face and doing endless nose surgeries over 20+ years certainly garners confidence more than going to a surgeon who does rhinoplasties "once in a while" or "five or so a month"... TL;DR: Dr. Portuese has a good eye for the art of the surgery, and plenty of experience to figure out how to get the best result. I'm a very happy patient and feel so free! Best money I've spent on myself in my entire life - I don't regret it for a second! :)

A Cautionary Story -- What I Wish I'd Known Before My Breast Augmentation…read more In 2022, I finally decided to get my breast augmentation -- something I had dreamed about for years. I did my research carefully and chose this clinic because the surgeon promoted a "unique technique" that supposedly eliminates the need for a post-surgical compression bra during recovery. That promise was a huge part of why I trusted him with my body. At first, everything seemed fine. But once the swelling settled and I began to really look at my results, I noticed something was off. My left breast had shifted far to the side -- so much that when I lie flat, it literally slides toward the outer edge of my body. Standing up without a bra, my breasts sit noticeably wide apart. When I put on a bra and pull them together, I love the look. But without it, the symmetry and shape are disappointing -- and completely opposite of what I was told to expect. When I shared my concern during my final follow-up, the surgeon brushed it off with, "Side boob is a good look." Maybe for some women it is, but not when one breast has migrated halfway toward my armpit. That's not style -- that's structure gone wrong. I waited a few years to be sure my body had healed before reaching out again, hoping for an honest conversation about possible correction. Instead, I was told I'd have to pay $190 just for a consultation -- and that they don't offer complimentary post-surgery implant checks, even years later. I had assumed they would at least verify that the implants were still properly positioned and safe. For context, most women are required to wear a post-surgical compression bra (a supportive medical garment that holds the implants in place and helps the chest heal evenly). I wasn't asked to wear one because the surgeon claimed his "no-bra recovery method" made it unnecessary. In hindsight, I wish I had worn one anyway -- it might have prevented my outcome.

I've been considering a breast augmentation for years now. Last year, I consulted other doctors in…read morethe area, but they didn't feel right. I thought I had found my doctor after reading the raving reviews and looking at the before and after gallery. When I initially called to make an appointment, Espirt's phones were down. I filled out an online form on their website and got a call back later that day. The woman on the phone was pleasant and scheduled me in. All was good until she asked for the $200 consultation fee - the most expensive fee of any of the other doctors I researched and consulted. The day of my consultation I get a phone call from the receptionist informing me that their 3D imaging is down and I could either reschedule or come in regardless and not get the imaging. I wanted to get the imaging, especially at the $200 consultation fee price, so I rescheduled. The day of my rescheduled consultation I get another phone call from the receptionist saying again that their 3d imaging is down and I can reschedule or come in. I'm a busy mom of two young kids, as any mother knows, it's tough enough to schedule appointments yet alone rescheduling. I decided to keep the appointment and meet with Dr. Connall. Day of my consultation I was greeted by a friendly receptionist. I filled out some paperwork and a nurse brought me back to the consultation room. The nurse was very warm and pleasant (the best interaction I had that day). Dr. Connall was professional and thorough during the consultation and answered my questions however, of all the doctors I've seen he was the only one that recommended a small implant with fat grafting - the cost of two procedures instead of one. Additionally, said I could come in again a year down the road and increase my breast size with another procedure. So, instead of one standard breast augmentation I was looking at 3 to get my desired results. Initially, I liked the idea of fat grafting as I do have some fat tissue to lose, but hindsight I feel like it was an up-sale tactic with the 3 procedures. After the consultation, I was brought into the scheduling room to book surgery. I was interested in getting on the schedule to then go home and talk it over with my husband. I was not told there was a $250 surgery scheduling fee, as my card was charged that same day. So now I'm 450 with Espirt with no 3d imaging and a procedure I didn't intend on getting. I decided to continue with the surgery, as i was excited to finally get my breasts done. On the day of the pre op appointment, I met with a nurse first and as she was going over my notes, she stated I was getting implants and liposuction (not fat grafting). I corrected her and said Dr Connall wanted to do fat grafting in addition to the implant. Another red flag that my surgery was incorrectly written in my file. This led to me having to now get a mammogram because of my age - this was NOT mentioned to me during the consultation by Dr Connall, the nurse or the scheduling secretary. Because of my age, my insurance won't cover a mammogram and it would be an additional 300-500 out of pocket. At this point, I get a huge rush of anxiety. I would not have scheduled the surgery had I'd known I'd have to get a mammogram. There were too many red flags, too chaotic, unorganized, non transparent and sneaky that I decided not to move forward with the surgery. Ultimately, I want to feel safe with the doctor and staff when I'm going under on anesthesia. I want to feel confident that I'm safe, I'll attain my desired results and I want to feel more than I'm just a monetary value. Due to my concerns listed above, we asked for at least my $250, as there was no way I felt safe or valued to go under the knife with them. Dr. Connall refused to refund the $250. He offered to pay for the mammogram, but we explained to him all the red flags and he didn't budge. Dr. Connall refusing to at least refund the $250 is so telling of his character and the Espirt practice. I wouldn't recommend Espirt or Dr. Connall and staff to anyone. I would run far in another direction, as there are competent and compassionate surgeons in the area. Save yourself the $200 consultation fee and just cross this doctor off your list. Best of luck to you reading this review in search of a plastic surgeon!
