Honestly one of the best experiences I've had at an aesthetic practice. From the second I walked…read morein, the vibe felt good beautiful office, great energy, and everyone was genuinely kind and welcoming. I had injections with Carissa and was really impressed. I've been getting treatments for a long time, so I pay attention to technique, and she was so careful, thorough, and intentional with everything she did. She made me look so much more refreshed and balanced while still looking completely natural. I left feeling so beautiful and happy with the results. What I also love is that they offer so much in one place. I started my weight loss meds there too, and I'm already planning to come back for a surgery consult and a facial.

I went to Waltzman Institute on August 20, 2025 for a consultation for brachioplasty and an…read moreassessment for skin tightening procedures on my abdomen and thighs. Prior to this consultation I submitted photos and had multiple phone conversations with the patient coordinator Abagail. Abagail spent a long time with me on the phone answering all of my questions and was very helpful. We spent a lot of time searching for the right date to schedule the surgery, considering how long I would need for rehab, when my husband would be available to drive me afterwards, arranging a dog sitter, scheduling my pre-op appointment and all of the details which must be arranged around the surgery date. We finally agreed on the date of Thursday, September 18, 2025. I told my husband the date. He arranged his schedule of work, travel and meetings to be available during that time, I scheduled the dog sitter, I went to my pre-op appointment, I got clearance from my cardiologist and I was all ready to go on Thursday, Sept. 18. Then I went in for my consultation with Dr. Waltzman who I liked very much. We decided I would be a good candidate for the brachioplasty. He explained the likely outcome and the details of the rehab. He was also kind enough to let me know that I am not a good candidate for skin tightening procedures at my age, due to the lack of enough collagen to get good results from skin tightening procedures. I was very happy to then go to Abagail's office to pay for the procedure and finalize the schedule. That was when Abagail casually informed me that the date she and I had so carefully chosen, the one I had spent so much time making arrangements for, with my husband and his work, my dog sitter, my cardiologist, and my primary care doctor- she informed that this date was no longer available. I was so shocked when Abagail very casually informed me that she had given that surgery date to someone else. I asked her why she had not let me know that the date I had so carefully arranged for was a tentative date. She said that her policy was to not give priority to anyone. My response was that she certainly gave priority to someone else for that date when she had already promised it to me. Abagail declined to apologize to me or to acknowledge that she should have told me the date was tentative. She declined to be accountable at all for putting me in such an inconvenient position. I felt that I had been betrayed, or misled or manipulated or disrespected by this person who refused to take any responsibility. I followed up by calling and speaking to who I was told was the office manager at that time, whose name I do not remember. We had a very helpful conversation where I explained to the manager my experience with Abagail and how inconvenienced I was by being given a surgery date that was so casually withdrawn with no acknowledgement at all that she should have made it clear to me this date was tentative. The manager listened politely and thanked me for the feedback. I thought that was the end of the issue until yesterday. Yesterday I tried calling the Waltzman Institute to schedule a consultation for injections in my lower face. However, Makayla, who I spoke to today, said she had never spoken to me before, and is now the office manager. Makayla very authoritatively informed me that The Waltzman Institute is refusing to have me as a client. So today I learned that the Waltzman Institute has chosen to ignore a potential client's attempts at providing, what some professionals would consider to be valuable feedback. I am disappointed at this response and at how this supposed professional patient coordinator at a reputable medical practice was able to act in such an unprofessional way, refuse to own up to what she did, and then convince other staff members to not listen to me or to consider my feedback. These types of experiences are the most valuable learning experiences for all us, except for those who refuse to hear or listen to feedback, or for those who can't acknowledge their own accountability for their own mistakes, as in his case, when a client calls them on their responsibility to inform the client of all pertinent information pertaining to the surgical date. Before this encounter with Abagail, I was impressed with Dr. Waltzman, and I felt that, to him, earning the trust of his patients is a very important part of his practice. It is ironic that his own patient coordinator, along with the current office manager, should go behind his back to erode that trust . When I spoke to Makayla today, she verbally included Dr. Waltzman himself as one of the decision-makers who voted to ban me from his practice. However, I think that Dr. Waltzman will be ashamed when he learns of this sabotage. I hope that Abagail will at some point grow a seed of how to acknowledge her mistakes and learn that listening to feedback can be personal growth material.

First class all the way…read more Having surgery is a huge decision and I wanted to make sure that I went to the best surgeon to take care of my needs. I flew over 2,500 miles just to see Dr. Powers, after getting glowing reviews from friends and having wonderful phone consultations with her. Everyone from her staff to the hospital staff were outstanding and they all said the same thing "I wouldn't trust anyone else with my surgeries. Dr. Powers is the best!" She truly lived up to those reviews. After my surgery, she personally checked up on me to make sure I was healing well. She even made sure I sent her emails twice a week with photo updates. Even her staff made sure I got all of my questions answered when I called. I highly recommend Dr. Powers. I've been around a lot of doctors and her bedside manner & attention to detail made me feel really good about choosing her as my surgeon.

A few things went awry during my breast implant removal surgery. I knew there was a chance of losing a nipple, and I did. The other nipple ended up crooked and my breast has necrotizing tissue under the skin. I don't like to look in the mirror. She did tattoo me a set of nipples. Dr. Powers offered me a discount on a tummy tuck so I had it done. She sent me to a recovery facility where they encouraged me to walk upright and my wound opened up. Instead of gluing me back shut she allowed it to scar over the open tissue, making a scar so thin that the waistband of my underwear rubs against it and opens a wound which is easily infected. This went on for over a year with bandages and ointment from my PCP. Finally I came up with the idea of wearing maternity underwear and that seems to fix it. The underwear comes up to my bust. I'm going to have to wear the maternity underwear for the rest of my life or get a painful wound.

This review is long overdue. Due to a traumatic experience it has taken me almost 4 years to write…read more In September 2020 Dr. Hurvitz repaired our son's face at just a few hours old. Dr. Hurvitz is a wonderful surgeon and human being. My newborn baby was cut from eye to ear during a crash c-section. 3 plastics surgeons turned down the repair because they felt they weren't skilled enough due to how deep the cut was and the proximity to nerves, his eye, his ear, muscles, the age of the newborn and other various factors. They weren't sure if my son would be able to feed, or use his eye. One surgeon called Dr. Hurvitz in to the hospital for a consultation. Thank God Dr. Hurvitz agreed to come in and do the surgery. He was off, and at home with his family. His team kept my baby alive when he had to be intubated and struggled to breathe (he was hours old and had been exposed to many drugs during the crash c-section because they couldn't get me numb). Finally, at almost midnight I got to meet my son after 8 hours. He was perfect. His incision/ scar was minimal. It's hardly noticeable now, almost 4 years later. Sometimes when his face turns red I can see a faint white line. It was so big, so complicated and so deep, and now it's a tiny paper thin line. The stitching was beautifully done. Most importantly He was able to nurse, and use his eye, he had no issues opening or closing it. Dr. Hurvitz repaired the muscle, nerves and incision perfectly. His office staff are also wonderful people. They patiently worked with me on insurance and payment. They answered every email, and call. They are a Wonderful group of ladies. Dr. Hurvitz bedside manner when I met him and his assistant put me at ease. I don't remember what he said, but how he made me feel. He cared. He was funny. And he's absolutely the best surgeon. Thank you Dr. Hurvitz. You were one of the few good things that happened to us during that horrible experience. We thank God for you every time we look at our son's face. He's gorgeous and healthy. The scar is minimal and most people don't even notice it. I would absolutely trust and recommend Dr. Hurvitz.

She's always educating me as well as answering any and all questions I've thrown at her making me feel at ease. And I would also like to point out that I've found Linda to be a "conservative" practitioner with a "less is more" approach so she never tries to sell me on treatments I don't need and even turns down things I've asked for that she feels I do not need either, which I like.

Dr.K here at Estea understood the assignment. I finally have the results I wanted. He listens to the patient and explains the procedure. I was nervous about the procedure being done as I am awake and under local anesthesia, but he was very reassuring. To be honest I now prefer surgery awake under local anesthesia, my recovery seemed a lot faster and I did not have to experience the general anesthesia side effects. Also, DR J was there during the surgery she is also great. The entire experience from the first consult to surgery to recovery has just been wonderful. His team is great. I highly recommend coming here for your next cosmetic procedure. I have a second procedure already placed a payment here for my tummy tuck in the summer and I can't wait.

From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely cared for!! not just as a patient, but as a person. Every single staff member I encountered was warm, kind, and incredibly attentive. Debbie and Karen, the surgery coordinators, were absolute gems! they made the whole process seamless, organized, and calm. I had an awake breast implant exchange with a lift, as well as a c section scar revision. as a double C-section veteran, I can honestly say it was a cake walk. The vibe was comforting and even fun. we had music playing on the Alexa, and the entire procedure flew by. I expected to be nervous, but I was surprisingly relaxed the whole time. Dr. K was incredibly attentive, reassuring, and present throughout the procedure, checking in constantly and making me feel 100% safe in his hands. As someone who frequents med-spas and has tons of fear and anxiety about anything and everything that could go wrong, , I came in with high standards for safety, cleanliness, and surgical precision -- and I was deeply impressed on all fronts. The facility was spotless (and can we talk about the iconic '90s decor? I love it), parking was easy, and everything felt smooth and professional. It's only been a few hours since surgery, but my results already look beautiful and the experience itself has exceeded every expectation. I also paid a very reasonable price for such a high level of care and expertise -- something that can be hard to find in aesthetics. This wasn't just a surgery -- it was a positive, empowering, even enjoyable experience. I feel incredibly lucky to have found this team. HIGHLY recommend.
