When the humidity is heavy my skin really struggles. When my skin struggles my stress heightens. When my stress heightens my skin struggles... You see my issue? I had been on a long journey of research, detoxification strategies, and product trial and error to try and fix my epidermal reaction to Wilmington's humid and chemically unbalance environment. I'm pretty well versed in the world of holistic nutrition, hormonal balance, and natural remedies both tangibly and ingestible. I decided to explore Wilmington's knowledge on the subject and see if West Meadow Spa could help me find a solution I had yet to experience. After a very pleasant phone call with the front desk representative, who really made the spa and esthetician seem like a trip to cloud 9, I booked my facial a week in advance and built up my expectations for the visit! She asked me to come a few minutes early to sign some paperwork but my facial was at opening time so when I arrived I waited about 10 minutes for someone to come open the door. I thought it was a little strange for them to ask to come early, for them to be inside the building and see me outside and not open the doors until the clock struck opening time. Oh well! The inside was beautiful with tons of natural products for sale, water and tea options and a cute little lounge area to relax in while waiting. I quickly signed the papers and waited about 5 minutes for the esthetician to bring me in the room. I had received such amazing recommendations about this gal before visiting but upon meeting and consulting with her my high expectations were not met. Everyone has their bad days and it could have been that kind of situation, but in my experience I felt her to be very judgmental and not as well educated as she had been led on to be. She would ask me general prep questions then not have any response to my answers, just going on to the next question. I told her all the things I've tried, things I've researched, conditions I've had in the past etc and at the end of the day she had not one suggestion for me other than to buy the tea they had in shop from a local vendor (which she applied to my face at the beginning of the facial which smelled awesome). Throughout the facial she would give me ask me questions, quietly ponder a response to me answer then in an odd tone say she just didn't know the best way to go about that. It was really strange to me! Any who, the facial was refreshing, as they always are, but did absolutely nothing for my skin that day or in the future. She didn't suggest any helpful products or methods of cleaning, exfoliating, nourishing, etc. Though she did suggest I come back for a belly heating service which is basically a heating pad on your gut, ovaries, etc. that helps balance and calm everything going on down there, especially inflammation. This is a pretty cool service, especially for those who actually have serious ovarian and gut concerns, and I don't know anyone else in town that does this unique practice. However it was not really relevant to me and way out of my price range. At the end of the day I spent almost $50 for a semi cleansing/calming facial and learned something new about heat therapy. I really don't want to hurt their business, and the front desk gal was the sweetest thing on this planet (review would have been 2 stars without her involvement), but I really can't see myself recommending West Meadow's facial services to anyone based off this experience.

Andrea Villareal, PA-C, is hands down the best dermatologist I have ever been to. After my very…read morefirst appointment, I actually cried because for so long I couldn't find a doctor willing to go the extra mile for me. Living with lupus and psoriatic arthritis, I had almost given up hope of finding someone who truly cares. but she completely changed that for me. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Andrea at Waccamaw Dermatology. She is a rare gem. From the moment you meet her, you can feel how genuine, compassionate, and down-to-earth she is and that's something you just don't find every day. At 66 years old, I can honestly say I have never had a doctor care the way she does. She listens. She explains everything clearly. She makes you feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. Her knowledge is incredible, and the help she has given me goes far beyond anything I've experienced with other doctors for that matter even specialists. That alone speaks volumes. I had started to lose hope before finding her, and she completely turned that around for me. Andrea isn't just a dermatologist she's someone who truly makes a difference in people's lives. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone who asks. If you're lucky enough to see her, you'll understand exactly what I mean.

If I had known it would be this easy I would have done it years ago. Dr Church came highly recommended by several nurses who work at Novant hospital with my daughter. Even the pharmacist who filled my pre-op antibiotic confided that she was thrilled with the procedure Dr Church did for her. The staff at La Belle Vie were so kind and put me at ease, answering all my questions and making sure I was comfortable. I recommend Dr Church to anyone who is considering having implants removed. I was worried how my breast's would look, and more importantly, how I would feel psychologically, once the implants were removed. I even ordered some silicone chicken cutlets prior to my surgery, but to my surprise, I don't need them. I couldn't be happier with the way my breasts look and feel now. I am so much more comfortable. If you are holding off having your breast implants removed out of fear, like I was, don't hesitate to at least get a consultation. You'll find out it's a lot easier and less painful than when you got them put in!

I asked all around for skin product and service recommendations and was so happy to connect with my aesthetician, Nicole! Nicole connected with my through multiple emails before setting up a free consultation within a week time span. She was very kind, helpful and responsive. She even gave me little sample products to try at home to see how my skin would react. I got a great deal on a facial, worked it into both our schedules super easily and was very pleased with the results. My skin really cleared up for about a month, in the summer, and the product samples she provided were perfect combos for my skin. As winter came and my skin began to dread the dramatic season changes again I inquired with Nicole again who recommended new products, advice and services. I'm excited to go back in the future and very thankful for her patience. This facility is top notch and I'd highly recommend checking it out.

He is personable, respectful, takes time to answer questions, doesn't rush, asked me questions such as what was my expected result, he gave honest feedback, and the result of surgery was fantastic. I highly recommend him for not only his expertise in the field of plastic surgery, but best pricing. I appreciated his timely responses to all my inquiries, his genuine kindness, and the result was exactly as he stated it would be. He and his staff are the best!

He was adamite that the pain I feel from a "small" growth under my skin on my neck against my spine is not real and repeatedly told me he would have to "fish for it" once he went in. He also stated that he would BOLD TYPE in the report that this will not fix my issue or give any relief. The crazy thing is that I never felt this pressure before in that area until about 6 months ago when the growth appeared to start. How does he know for sure?? I am glad that he gave me his educated guess that this would not work. Maybe this is why this type of industry refers to these offices as a practice as it is not always 100% perfect???? Just my two cents.
