No, I'm NOT a "PhD researcher who sells jewelry in her spare time as she posted"…read more
Probably the most dishonest doctor I have ever met. I really don't enjoy or feel good about leaving bad reviews, but this is by far the worst experience I have ever had with a business, and if it helps somebody then I guess it's worth it.
I was on my way to the airport to help my sister. whose husband was having emergency surgery to take out his esophagus because of cancer. I had an extra hour and I found myself in the Foothill area, I stopped in to see if they could do a little bit of Botox on my forehead, a small area that needed a touchup. When I was there, she started to ask me if I had done any fillers or surgeries.. I told her I had done Filler one time prior. She asked me about my lips, I told her it looks great on some people, but I didn't feel comfortable or interested in big lips. I felt guilty for only getting a few units of Botox (under $100) it was clear she was putting on the pressure to sell me on something. I asked her about filler for my earlobes, I told her $599 was a lot. I didn't know if it was worth it. She said it would fill my earlobes and I would have extra, so I asked what we could do with the Extra. I didn't know if it was worth spending that much just on my ears. She said let's get going and we'll discuss it. I was surprised to see the doctor come in the room, I was wondering why she didn't have a full-time injector.... And I felt really guilty for only getting a few units of Botox, which is why I agreed to purchase one syringe for my earlobes.
She kept stopping to take pictures and I knew she was doing this for her Instagram, which was a little annoying, we did not discuss that, and I was in a rush. I'm sitting in the chair, my eyes are shut, I truly hate needles and wiping away tears. Just trying to get through this because it's painful. She stops and says "do you want to put this under your eyes? it will make you look 10 years younger" - I'm a little taken back, we didn't discuss this, my eyes are perfectly fine , they are not sunken in and again this is not something we discussed, but I thought she was looking for a place to put the extra filler. I said "sure" I just trusted her. So I check out, they put a receipt in an envelope and put it in a gift bag and then she proceeds to randomly select things off the shelf, little samples and throw them in the gift bag. I got in the car and headed for the airport. I looked in the bag to see if there's anything I wanted to take with me, there were all these little items that said "not for resale". I thought, "oh that's nice". I then opened the envelope and she had rung my credit card over $4000! I was in shock. I agreed to one syringe at $599 and approximately 10 units of Botox $100. She told me the one syringe would fill my earlobes, and there would be extra, the whole thing that was unclear was where we were going to put the "extra filler". As you can see, she overfilled my earlobes, using more product than I agreed to, and then she proceeded to inject a new expensive product under my eyes that we did NOT discuss. I could not believe what had just happened. I found the pictures online, some of the pictures are ones She took halfway through the process. (when she should've stopped.) as you can see the photo from the airplane, my earlobes were bursting and looked horrible. Look at the pictures that she posted online, that's when she should've stopped. She never discussed additional Filler, I was very hesitant to even buy one syringe. On top of it, she charged me $72 for the product samples she handed me?! Clearly, she had a plan, she brought in additional product without discussing it, not a name, not a price, side effects I mean, just think about it?! And then she overfilled my earlobes so she could justify charging me for an additional syringe that I didn't know about? And then in her post, she has the audacity to make up some story about me being a PhD researcher who makes jewelry on the side.? This woman is so dishonest. I have pictures of what it did to the area under my eye, which was awful, I will post them. There are plenty of people who are honest, please take the time to find someone you can trust.
