My experience with this office has been awful. I had a consultation with their Dr. Jafferji, who…read morereally seemed like a decent person who at least appeared to listen to me. His demeanor came across as empathetic (unusual for a specialist). He asked that I have some tests done for him to better evaluate my need for surgery, and his desire to be thorough was reassuring. So far, so good; but my Meritus experience went rapidly downhill since. I have some serious concerns about one of the tests that Dr. Jafferji ordered, and wrote him a letter outlining those concerns. That was nearly three weeks ago. When two weeks had passed with no communication of any kind, I called his office and spoke with a decidedly unhelpful woman who lied to me to get me off the phone: she said that she was the person who reviewed the mail but had no memory of receiving my letter, though she admitted she might have, and would have forwarded it to the doctor if so. She promised to both contact the doctor and to have someone from the office follow up with me; that was four days ago and of course no one has done so. At this point I have no way of knowing if Jafferji ever saw my letter, or whether it has just been lost in an office where no one cares about communicating with patients. While he certainly came across as an understanding physician, I have been wrong about things like that in the past. However I also realize, after speaking with the very unhelpful woman, that he may never have seen it, and the dysfunction in that office is therefore such that he never will see it or be informed about it. In the end it does not matter which it is; the bottom line is a patient with real concerns has been completely ignored and left to twist in the wind with the clear message that his concerns are totally unimportant to a staff that has, evidently, better things to do than help their patients.

I have had 2 different experiences with this center and both have been bad! I had a hernia surgery…read moreand Dealing with the staff was so frustrating and you got no where! I then had to have my appendix removed, it was an emergency surgery and I was there over night. The plan of care was 1 to keep you in pain not get you out of it! The pain was so bad I could barely walk and my surgeon did not care. He Left me in pain and sent me home and my 1st night home was almost intolerable! He gave me basic meds and when I called into tell them how much pain I was in his response was she shouldn't be in pain so take Tylenol every 6 hours and deal with it. Mean time I have 3 incisions that are so bruised I can hardly tolerate anything touching my abdomen. When did it become ok to let patients suffer? Not only that, the communication in the office is absolutely terrible, you may need something and call in and never hear back! If you have an option, go elsewhere!!!

I received tummy lipo in 2008 with Dr. Garazo, and 9 years later I still am not happy with the…read moreresults. I had lumps an bumps from uneven canula use months after the healing process. I have spent over $1000 to get scar tissue and lymp massage to see if it would help even it out. I called the office in 2009 to advise them and they did not seem very sympathetic and stated i may need to get it re-done and pay the $5000 or whatever I originally paid. Needless to say 9 years later and today its still uneven and have fat pockets that were never removed. I now live in San Diego and will most likely have the procedure re-done with a more experienced doctor to fix the lumps. My stomach looked better prior to lipo. I would not recommend this facility.

After a rough experience elsewhere, they took their time to understand my apprehension and wanted me to be as comfortable as possible, and also give me the best possible treatment for my acne scars; went above and beyond for me! I had three Pixel 8 treatments and an intense treatment of CO2. They provided me with follow up skincare, in depth instructions, follow up calls, and two follow up appointments! Every step of the way they took photos to see my changes! I was thankful for this thoroughness I didn't receive at the last office I worked with. My skin looks amazing! No more 11 lines, and my acne scars have improved! I really love their genuine attitude to help me and I'm sure others! Go make your appointment!

Few weeks later they send me a bill for $4000.00!!! Said the work done was NOT covered by ins. Got a notice that if it was not paid they will send to collections. Corp said local can stop it.
