PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. UNLAWFULLY OPERATED…read more The practice is run by a Physician Assistant (PA), but New York State law clearly states that PAs must work under the supervision of a licensed physician. When I asked to speak with their Medical Director, I was told they didn't have one. (Article 131-B of the New York Education Law governs the practice of physician assistants in the state.) The injector GiGi performed unauthorized treatments, including injecting Botox into my gummy lines--something I never requested or approved. When I returned to address the poor results, the PA had to step in to sternly direct the injector to only use half an injection to fix the Spock brow I had been left with. Despite these efforts, the results were far from satisfactory. My appearance resembled what can only be described as a "serial killer" smile. (See below pictures) They also convinced me to choose a "lip flip" instead of lip fillers, claiming it would help "quiet my facial muscles" before injections. It's unclear whether the resulting smile was caused by the lip flip or the unauthorized gummy line injections, but the outcome has been devastating. Even three months later, my smile is still not back to normal, despite being told that the effects would wear off quickly. The dismissive attitude that mistakes don't matter because "Botox wears off" is unacceptable. If a procedure's effects last for months, the least they can do is get it right the first time. Another alarming issue is their lack of transparency. While consent and waiver forms are uploaded to the online portal, they fail to include any documentation of the injection sites. This omission feels deliberate, and it makes me question what they might be trying to hide. On a personal level, this experience ruined what should have been a joyful time. I had just returned from a 10-month military deployment and was looking forward to reuniting with my loved ones. I wanted to look refreshed and less stressed, but instead, I ended up feeling self-conscious and unattractive. I even asked my boyfriend to delay proposing because I didn't want to look this way in engagement photos. It's heartbreaking that such a special moment had to be put on hold because of their carelessness. The staff assured me that what happened to me was rare and that the effects would subside quickly. However, after extensive research, I found only one similar case online, which confirms that my experience is far from normal.

I have an auto immune disease and she's been so helpful in my decision making for timing of when it would be best for me to get filler.

She follows up to make sure everything is comfortable and to make sure you are happy with the results. My before and afters speak for themselves and I love seeing the subtle differences that enhance my appearance. Lauren, who sits at the front desk, is always so helpful for scheduling needs. She really goes above and beyond to accommodate timing. She's so friendly and welcoming - just a ray of sunshine. She checks in via text and phone to see how you're feeling and how you're loving your results. I love going to the office to chat with Lauren before my appointment and see what snacks are available for that day. There's always healthy snack options whether you're looking for savory or sweet, and a cold beverage in the fridge. It's nice to get a refreshment when going to pamper yourself. The office itself is so beautiful with chandeliers, the nicest toilet seat ever (see for yourself) and kept extremely clean and cozy. Paris and Kimberly are also very skilled and knowledgeable injectors. Both are extremely friendly and make it goal to meet the clients needs. No matter what injector you go to, you'll be sure to leave happy. 10/10 thank you ladies!!
