    Mary L.

    Hi everyone my name is Mary Lopez. I hope this review helps you make the best decision for your life. My first experience getting a 360 lipo and BBL was with Dr. Steven Torres, and it was amazing. From the initial step of requesting information over the phone to my current 5-week recovery, Dr. Torres and his team have been incredible. Rachel at the front desk is amazing, always displaying a positive attitude and great vibes. Dr. Steve is very knowledgeable and helped me decide on the best option for me. He listened to and addressed all my concerns. Tiffanie, the nurse, guided me through post-surgery care, always providing instructions over the phone and resolving all my questions. After the procedure, I felt more confident and love my new shape. Although it's a challenging process, it's worth it. Trust the process! "

    I had my procedure done almost 2 years ago, I did lipo with Dr.Torres and my experience was amazing. Dr. Torres listened to my concerns and I felt no pressure to change my plan, he was very reassuring about my questions and the stuff was very supportive and communication was great! I was a little nervous since it was awake but I would 100% do it all over again!

    Dr T and the team have been AMAZING during this whole journey. From setting up my appointment, checking in the day of the procedure, and months of aftercare. If I had to do it all over again, I 10000% would. Im just over 2 months post op and I'm loving my results more and more each day. I feel so confident in my own skin. My results look natural while still giving me the curves that working out wouldn't. Thank you so much Dr. T, Tiffanie, and the rest of the team.

    I'm just not happy with my results Nothing really changed. Just a bit fat got removed . I still have love handles.. which this is the reason why i wanna do BBL,to remove my love handles .I feel like i just waste my money in this procedure..I paid 10k is this procedure . Not even worth it. If you guys gonna do BBL do your on research.

    I had my surgery back in Oct 2022 with Dr Torres & it was an amazing experience! I felt no discomfort during the entire procedure, the pre and post op communication with them is great and I felt my procedure was very personable. Rachel was super friendly and helped ease my anxiety as this was my first procedure & Doris checked in with me the entire time I was healing, answering any questions I had (a lot since I'm a hypochondriac). I really love my results, I'm always complimented on how natural my butt looks! I do plan on getting more work done by him in the future. Dream bbl team!

When I've been to other places are just like OK here's your injection this is the standard amount, See you in x amount of months for the same amount. That's not how this place is, Kathy told me that the goal is to keep my symptoms at bay and not go through up and downs, where I'm having symptoms and I get treatment, it goes away and it comes backs. I now have a clear goal and plan where she will assess how I'm going after each treatment and see how to adjust for the next. after just a few days I already see positive changes. On another note when coming here it is in the medical center so come 15 minutes before your appointment to give you time to park and find the place since it is an area with a lot of medical offices. Also, you do have to pay to park but they did validate my parking.

    I am writing this not only out of personal necessity but also as a warning to others. Years ago, I…read moreunderwent a breast reduction procedure performed by Dr. Jeffrey Umansky. When I expressed immediate and legitimate concerns about the grossly asymmetrical, misshapen outcome, I was dismissively met with the condescending remark: "Let's remember, they're sisters, not twins." This patronizing statement was clearly meant to deflect responsibility and silence a vulnerable, young patient who had just trusted him with her body. The result was not only physically disfiguring, but emotionally devastating. At the time, I lacked the personal and emotional support to pursue legal recourse. However, with time and reflection, it's become undeniably clear: I was negligently and carelessly operated on, and the trauma I endured has left lasting scars--both literally and psychologically. To be specific, Dr. Umansky's surgical execution resulted in: Sloppy and uneven internal tissue excision Poorly closed incisions, resulting in significant scarring and dog-ear deformities Asymmetrical areolas, with nipples more than an inch off from one another Long-term disfigurement that has made any corrective procedures extremely complex and costly Despite my desperation and embarrassment, I reached out to the office manager shortly after the surgery to request even a partial refund so I could afford reconstructive work elsewhere. My plea was coldly denied and ultimately ignored. The lack of professional accountability shown by both Dr. Umansky and his office was reprehensible. Since then, I have consulted with multiple board-certified plastic surgeons, all of whom confirmed the extensive damage done and emphasized the difficulty of now restoring what was once a healthy, intact chest. One even stated that the tissue had been "butchered"--their words, not mine. I have photographic documentation of both the immediate post-op results and my current condition, which I am prepared to share publicly and with appropriate legal channels if necessary. If the platform allowed, I would upload these images in full to give others the visual proof of what I have suffered due to Dr. Umansky's substandard care. Dr. Umansky, whether your staff chose to shield you from the fallout or not, you should know: your conduct was not only negligent but borders on medical malpractice. Your failure to take responsibility--medically or financially--for the irreversible damage you caused is inexcusable. I gave everything I had to pay for that surgery, and in return, I was left physically distorted and emotionally broken. This message is for the patients who have been silenced, dismissed, or gaslit into thinking they had no right to speak up. I speak now because I have found my voice--and others deserve to find theirs too. Your actions, Dr. Umansky, were not only unprofessional and unethical--they were, and remain, absolutely unforgivable.

During the consultation, I clearly explained what I was looking for. He mentioned under-the-armpit incisions, which interested me, but then quickly insisted that I would need a lift. I explained that I was extremely uncomfortable with a lift due to scarring, but my concerns were dismissed. He spoke very fast, was insistent, and both my support person and I felt lost and talked over. He told me my nipples were "turned down," which I disagreed with, and made unsolicited comments such as women not wanting to "look like a boy," that "guys don't care about scars," and that "you either have scars or you don't have bigger boobs." These comments felt inappropriate and made me feel pressured and insecure rather than supported. Overall, I felt that he did not listen to my goals or respect my boundaries. I booked this consultation specifically because of his advertised experience with endoscopic transaxillary cases and made my preferences very clear, yet I felt pushed toward a procedure I did not want. I would not trust this doctor and would recommend finding a surgeon who truly listens and has experience in the specific approach you're looking for. Additionally after the consultation, I called the office again to clarify whether it would be possible to proceed with an under-the-armpit approach without a lift, since I am comfortable with my breast shape and simply want more volume. He responded that I would "have the same breasts, just bigger," and that I would still have "the same problem." I explained that I do not see my breasts as a problem and that I like them as they are. He then told me that I should find a different doctor.

    I contacted Cosmetic Laser Dermatology because I was interested in a specific cosmetic filler…read moretreatment and wanted basic pricing before scheduling. The experience was disappointing and, in my opinion, not transparent. I asked multiple times for pricing on a clearly defined request: two syringes of cheek filler, including common options such as Voluma, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Contour, or RHA 4. Instead of a meaningful estimate, I was told the price could range from $400 to $3,000. That range is so broad that it is almost meaningless. The real concern is that the practice then expects patients to pay a $250 consultation fee just to find out what the service may actually cost. I fully understand that a physician needs to evaluate anatomy, goals, product choice, and treatment planning before giving a final recommendation. But for common self-pay cosmetic injectables, a medical practice should be able to provide baseline pricing, including consultation fees, per-syringe pricing, and realistic treatment ranges before asking someone to pay for a consult. The staff member I spoke with was polite, and this review is not about the doctors' clinical skill. The physicians may be excellent. My concern is with the business policy and the lack of upfront pricing transparency. As someone who has worked in healthcare for many years, I found this approach troubling. Patients should not have to pay $250 just to get basic pricing information for a commonly performed cosmetic service. It creates mistrust and makes the financial side of the practice feel opaque and unfair. I chose not to move forward because I did not feel comfortable with the pricing process. I would encourage the practice to publish clear pricing ranges, train staff to answer basic cost questions, and provide patients with useful cost information before requiring a paid consultation.

    I decided to get a consultation for breast augmentation after having 4 kids and about to turn 41…read more My mom actually had several services done over 20 years ago from Dr. Pietraszek and only had good things to say about her experience. I booked my consultation in mid-May of 2022 and was able to get my surgery done by the end of June. I appreciated that all the staff didn't pressure me to get big implants and that their ultimate goal is to look natural. I'm 5'3" and 145 lbs. I decided to get saline implants, through the areola and wanted no more than 380 cc. My left breast is actually bigger than my right so we went with a smaller implant on that side... now they're identical. Pre-op consisted of blood work and a mammogram. Dr. Pietraszek, the anethesist and all the staff were so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. The follow up appointments post surgery were on day 3, 6 and 9 then I have another about a month in a half post surgery. Post surgery care emphasizes massages, taking it easy and the correct bra support. I highly recommend Dr. Pietraszek and will be back for other services.

    Avoid @ all costs. This DR needs to retire & this practice should be shut down. How much did you…read morepay Yelp to get the reviews of Sandy removed? This practice is unsafe and should be reported to the medical board. Sandy is unhinged and unstable. She should not have her RN license if that's even what she has. Do not get surgery or treatment here. The surgical assistants show up drunk from the night before.
