Her work is precise, thoughtful, and never rushed. She uses ice and numbing cream as needed, which makes the entire experience surprisingly easy and comfortable. The office is calm and welcoming, located upstairs with beautiful natural light, and parking is easy in the Lower Coast Village area -- a real plus. I especially appreciate that Dr. Pontius asks you to come back a few weeks after your first visit to see how everything has settled. That follow-up speaks volumes about her care and her desire to truly understand your individual needs over time, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. The front desk and assistant, Emma, are also wonderful -- professional, warm, and organized -- making the experience seamless from start to finish. The printed post-care sheet is excellent and incredibly helpful to reference afterward. I wish every practice offered this. Professional yet warm, meticulous without feeling clinical -- a practice that clearly prioritizes both patient care and exceptional results.

First of all, I rarely write any reviews online but because of the problem that Iam having right…read morenow after getting vaginalplasty and my prolapse fixed, I think I should write a review here. For some reason, after the surgery, I start developing the recurring UTI, scarred structured vulva, , urgency and urine hesitancy. As a result, I went to see 2 of the Urogynecologies ( which I have to pay out of pocket) and they both said that the surgery that I had which brought damage to my vulva and somewhat causing the problem that I have right now. I soon will need another surgery so that I my bladder can function normally as it's supposed to be. I think if you want to have a surgery done down there, you need to find a well trained surgeon who is specialist in this field , board certified, not just an ob gyn. Nothing offense here but get it real, you need to do the research, lots of research and ask around when it comes to surgery. The reason I give 1 star because doctor Turner is a nice guy but unfortunately he did not fix the problem that I came in for but in reverse. Below is my doctor report before getting the surgery done again.

The first time he gave me a beautiful, natural outcome, and when I decided to go a bit larger for my second BA with Motiva implants, I fully trusted his eye and expertise to deliver. I was torn between two sizes and left it completely in his hands, he nailed it! Beyond his incredible surgical skill, Dr. Lowenstein made what can feel like a stressful process so comfortable and reassuring. I can't imagine going through this with anyone else. His team is just as amazing. Christina, the patient coordinator, makes the scheduling and planning process absolutely seamless. I am beyond thrilled with my results and so grateful to Dr. Lowenstein and his entire team. If you're considering surgery, look no further, you're in the very best hands!

My 20 year old son has suffered with debilitating pain/migraines for the past 7 years. He has been in constant daily pain that entire time, the only thing that would relieve his pain was weekly nerve blocks and even those would only reduce his pain for 1-2 days. He wasn't able to attend school in person or get a job. He has missed countless family/friend events and has missed out on so much of his childhood and teenage years. He has greatly suffered physically and mentally/emotionally for years. We found Dr. Lowenstein during a google search and he has completely changed my sons life and future. My son had nerve decompression surgery from Dr. Lowenstein for supratrochlear neuralgia. He woke up from surgery completely pain free and remains pain free for the first time in 7 years! Dr. Lowenstein is a very knowledgeable and skilled plastic surgeon who took great care during surgery to address my sons issues and alleviate his pain, he also created an incision that would heal with minimal scaring. Dr. Lowenstein's pre and post surgical care was very thorough. He is very conscientious with his patients care and well being. He took greats steps to avoid any complications or infections and my son had an extremely smooth recovery due to these efforts. The entire staff at Dr. Lowenstein's office were amazing and such a pleasure to work with! We felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. Crystal, the office manager, was the first person I interacted with when I called. She was so nice and helpful. Christina, the patient coordinator, was very empathetic and supportive to what we were going through. She was very knowledgeable about the surgery and she walked us through each step of the process, even helping us find a hotel to stay at. Christina was very helpful and organized and made me feel like we were in good hands. Jodi and Shelley were my sons nurses, they were so caring and compassionate and really made us feel at ease and well taken care of. Jodi called us several weeks before the surgery and went over everything in detail and answered all of our questions. Jodi was my sons nurse the day of surgery and she really helped calm our nerves. She kept in contact with me before and after the surgery which I really appreciated. When I was overcome with joy and tears after seeing my son pain free Jodi was there to share in my excitement. My sons anesthesiologist, Cory, was very reassuring and professional, we instantly felt comfortable and safe with him. We had Shelley during our consultation and post op appointments. Shelley genuinely shared in our joy and was so supportive. My son and I both felt like he was in great hands with everyone at Dr. Lowenstein's office and that we had made the right decision to move forward with his decompression surgery. This surgery has been life changing for our entire family and we are forever grateful to Dr. Lowenstein for his expertise and his passion to fight for those suffering from migraines and nerve pain. Dr. Lowenstein was thrilled with my sons outcome and so compassionate. I highly recommend Dr. Lowenstein and his staff to anyone suffering from migraines. Dr. Lowenstein is doing very important work and I hope that this surgery will become more well known in the medical community so that more people suffering can find relief like my son has.

This guy is not only an artist, conservative in approach but makes you feel like your father who has your best interest at heart. Patient, caring and reasonably priced.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Schooler and his extraordinary wife, Laurel Foster,…read morean exceptional nurse anesthetist. Over the years, they have cared for me through a lower facelift, fat transfer, and tummy tuck--and the results have been nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Schooler's work is true artistry, with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to excellence that exceeded all of my expectations. What truly sets this team apart is Laurel. I have a history of becoming extremely ill from anesthesia, and because I cannot vomit, I have suffered through hours of painful dry heaving after prior surgeries. Laurel listened--carefully and compassionately--and tailored my care in a way that made an enormous difference. For the first time, I felt calm, supported, and truly cared for throughout the entire process. Beyond their expertise, both are people of integrity and generosity who give their time to help others in need. That speaks volumes. Elective surgery requires trust and faith, and they have earned mine completely. I am deeply grateful for their exceptional care.

I scheduled a hot stone massage and was fortunate to be paired with Vicki. From the start, Vicki really listened to what was going on with my body. She took the time to understand my specific pain points and tailored the massage accordingly. While still incorporating the hot stones, she added deep tissue work where I needed it most, which made such a big difference. By the end of the session, the tension in my back had significantly eased and my neck pain was relieved. The entire experience felt calming from the moment I walked in. The waiting area has a beautiful water feature, tea available, and such a peaceful, relaxing vibe. You also have the option to use their sauna and showers prior to your appointment, which makes it feel like a true spa experience rather than just a massage. The ambiance in the treatment room was just as soothing. There was an overhead fan that created a soft, natural rainfall sound that made the entire experience even more relaxing. Vicki was knowledgeable, thorough, and clearly very skilled. I was so impressed that I scheduled another massage with her. I highly recommend Evolutions Day Spa, and especially Vicki, if you're looking for someone who truly listens and delivers real results.

When I called to speak up and mention that they should just talk to him, I was told to not come back for a facial.

My first procedure enabled me to smile more, my confidence boosted and ultimately, I felt a sense of pride in my body. So it was only natural that I would return. My original contact was virtually due to scheduling conflicts and Covid awareness but I still felt heard and validated. I received a quote quickly and Brianna was extremely helpful and the response time was amazing. She answered my questions and her temperament eased my nerves. The procedure was scheduled to accommodate my schedule and they showed extreme flexibility. Day of surgery I was able to meet with Dr. Schooler. He answered all of my questions and concerns. I never felt rushed or unheard. He presented in such a caring way and definitely eased me on what was to be a big day. I appreciate that this office works as a team. All the staff have a specialty and still come together to create an atmosphere of beauty and reassurance. Laurel, Tessie, and Lupe were confident and skilled in their roles. I felt safe and cared for which is huge for me. After my procedure, I was able to communicate frequently with Dr. Schooler and Brianna to get any questions or concerns addressed. I'm still on the recovery end of the procedure but so far, I'm really liking what I'm seeing; I have no doubt the results will be just as satisfying as my first. Highly recommend!
