So, in addition to being a plastic surgeon, he also is a psychologist??? Anyway, he refused to perform the surgery based on his feeling that she wasn't in pain, even though the insurance was covering it. But, she finally had the implant removed...in Korea...and for a fraction of what she'd have been charged stateside.

I was in Carlisle last week accompanying my husband who was attending a meeting there. With a few…read moreunscheduled hours I decided to find a salon and have my upper lip waxed. I get so inflamed from the process that I usually have to hide out for several hours afterward, but since no one knew me here, I thought I'd take advantage of my anonymity and boldly walk through town looking like I got punched in the mouth. I found SCG merely by chance and am so glad I did! First of all, the interior is airy and the employees, friendly. They took me without an appointment, but for the short time I had to wait, they offered me water in a glass glass. Such a delight (and environmentally correct) in this age of plastic. The woman who waxed my lip, was personable, capable, and fast. Then when I went up to pay, the women at the desk called her back over and asked her to tone me down with some makeup. It was perfect! She did a great job of covering the redness of my upper lip. I felt pampered and relaxed at SCG. Wish they'd open a salon in Pittsburgh!

During my niece's visit which I accompanied her on, she was anxious to begin with, but I heard her…read morecrying. I also heard Dr. Killian telling her "I just said we're almost done." I find out afterward that he started drilling before offering her Novocain, which he followed up the offer with, "but that hurts too." He also let her know he had other patients waiting and basically told her to suck it up. Our appointment was at 11:10, she wasn't seen before 11:30 so she wasn't the reason he was backed up. So we leave, she's in tears...we get home and find he hasn't sanded it evenly with the tooth beside it (front tooth repair for the 3rd time) nor has he smoothed the back at all. The care was terrible, procedure "completed" but not done well, and he was already behind when we arrived. I wouldn't recommend this doctor to my worst enemy.
