I am writing to update my previous review of Dr. Santiago of Glow Plastuc Surgery. When I had…read moresurgery in July of this year I was Extreme happy with my results because I could only see my front and my waistline. But that is no longer the case 5 months later. My previous review, that staff push you to write immediately post surgery with the promise of free lymphatic massage and/or free faja... so of course you write it. But what happens after the initial 3 days post op? A lot of debauchery. You don't hear about the stories of opening 3 times post op. And not receiving medical help while your surgeon goes out of the country. You don't hear about being open and having staff continue to wrap you in a soiled binder which is causing you to open further. You aren't made aware of being stitched repeatedly but not seeing any result. Or receiving conflicting medical care from the surgeon, his staff and then the lymphatic massage therapist that leaves you in a puddle of tears of confusion after paying $13,050 of your hard earned money. No you don't. So, I'm going to show you and tell you. I'm being harassed for an additional $600 from the surgery center stating Dr. Santiago went over during my surgery. I was sent a text message 2 days post op from the Anesthesiologist for an additional $200 for the same reason. My boyfriend was told he needed to pay $300 before I was even wheeled out of Recovery. Oh, and when he returned to retrieve me they told him to prop a side door open and go grab something to eat because they still weren't finished. And when he returned upstairs to the surgery floor he walked down the hall to find an open surgical door where I laid on the table being operated on. I had to seek outside care to have my wounds finally close costing me an additional $800. I've seen no positive change in my back from before the surgery until now, 5 months post op. And according to Dr. Santiago I look good in the front. And he never promised me a flat back. According to him, I have skin and not fat. So, unless he rwmoved skin, there's nothing he can do. But I know that during my consult with Teresa, his point of contact, simply having lipo wouldnt take care of my back. Lipo 360 with tummy tuck and abdominoplasty would. You take a look at the attached pics and tell me what you see? That's right. The same extra back i went in there with. And oh yeah.... i requested my complete medical record. And it looks doctored, is missing pages, and he didnt document all of my medical visita for my openings. Don't do it. RUN! Because it's not fair to lead people on. I went telling them that I wanted to have only 1 back. Meaning have my back rolls removed. And they are still there. I guess I'm just supposed to never wear a backless dress ever according to Santago. Because as he's stated... you look good from the front.​​​​

Upon entering the space, the staff members are all so pleasant, friendly, and informative. I appreciate that they really make you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. My facial was done by Monica Jorge, and she really took the time to understand my skin so that she could customize her approach to treating it. I had been using retinoids, so Monica was super gentle when performing the diamond glow facial. She took the time to explain every step of the process as she was treating my skin, and ensured that I was relaxed the entire time. My skin is normally very reactive and I was a little worried that I would experience some redness/dryness or irritation after the facial; however, that was not the case at all! Monica prioritized hydration in my treatment, and my skin looks great now (a few days after my facial). I had no irritation at all and my skin is definitely smoother to the touch and less congested. Monica even recommended a lightweight moisturizer to add to my usual routine and so far, it's been great! I will definitely be back to Skin Spirit in the future!

She also got a hydrafacial and her skin looked amazing after. I have also had BBL laser treatment here which helped reduce sun damage/dark spots! "My experience at Elite Med Spa was fantastic. My daughter surprised me with a session of micro blading to have my eyebrows done. My eyebrows were sparse due to hormone changes and I was very self conscious about them. Very hard to pencil in when you can't see without your glasses and just a pain to do even with a magnifying mirror. I was nervous about the procedure but Fatemeh assured me it would look natural and they do! I'm still getting used to having full beautiful eyebrows again. At first they were really dark but she said after they heal they would be perfect and she was right. She matched my hair color perfectly. I'm so happy with the results and they are so nice there I want to go back and get permanent eyeliner on my next visit!"

It's also so refreshing to go somewhere where the staff is not only knowledgeable but actually passionate about helping their clients feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. You can truly tell that Dawn has created a team that cares about the experience they provide. From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave, the whole experience is welcoming, comfortable, and positive. Two years later, I'm still so happy I found Glow Skin!

I came in for help losing weight before my wedding, because I had been trying to lose weight for 9…read moremonths with diet and personal training/exercise and I had only lost 14 lbs in that 9-month period. I had gained 45 lbs since the start of the pandemic due to illness, stress, and aging (I'm now 40 years old), so it was just really hard to lose weight on my own. I found my dream wedding dress off the rack and it was 2 sizes too small, so I was getting desperate as it was just 2 months before my wedding and it still didn't fit. The specialists at Evexia listened to my concerned and history, and recommended I start semaglutide injections to help my body better lose the excess weight. From the time I had my first injection to my wedding was about 7 weeks, and I lost 16 lbs!! My dress fit and I was shocked and elated, and I'm so grateful for their help. Since then I have stuck with it, and now after 4 months I've lost a total of 24 lbs, even after taking a 3-week break because I was away on my honeymoon. All together including the little weight I lost on my own last year, I've lost 38 lbs and am only 5 lbs from my goal weight of where I was before the pandemic. I'm truly so grateful to have found this team and highly recommend their knowledgeable compassionate care for your health, beauty, and well-being.

When I was hospitalized with a surgical complication the MD did not recognize that it was from surgery and refused to consult!!! My team called him MIA doctor. Outrageous.

Dr Piccolo is very nice but not current on treatments offered at Hopkins for example. I really was fortunate to leave with my life to seek care elsewhere.

I wasn't sure why I needed a plastic surgeon at his point until I saw my results. Dr. D removed a chunk of fat from my back from the previous masectomy and then fixed up andaligned the stitches to match my new masectomy. It all sounds kind of horrible but I am as impressed as I can be with a scar across my chest, I'm very impressed. I'm also glad not to be lopsided.

I'm accepted" and flings herself onto the back of the receptionist. Not apologizing for her ridiculous outburst or bothering to acknowledge me, as I raised my hand and waved hello with a smile. So, I sat... and sat, until the reception comes to tell me, "yeah, it will be like another 30 minute wait, as we thought we'd have to numb you, and we don't have to numb you" --- I said OK,,, and waited. That was until I realized, I'm still the ONLY customer in the "spa" and the "nurse" and receptionist were chit-chatting and acting FOOLISH. I'm gonna wait 30 minutes, for what? You to catch-up on gossip? Nah. It's a pass. The place is lowbrow... cheap chairs and just not up to speed, makes me wonder if they bought their lasers, etc. second-hand. Don't waste your time, there are much better reputable, professional options. I would not trust these two with my skin. Stay away.
