Dr Talei is a true talent. He seems to enjoy educating which I love. His explanations why he thinks certain procedures will work reflect his incredible understanding of complex anatomy, and years of experience. His before and afters speak for themselves as to his artistry. He is also just a really nice guy that is able to connect with you even though you know you are one of thousands of patients. read more

I had TERRIBLE experience...be careful! He has lousy follow up ...sent me to Dr Dhier who cut a nerve! NEVER EVER checked on me! read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Talei and his team enough. I am one that never thought about having a facelift until all of a sudden it became important. When I made that decision my priority became who could I trust because, after all... it's my FACE... that I have to wear every day! My decision and research led me to Dr Talei. It's the second best thing I've ever done, right behind adopting my son! I felt like the Maestro was on the case. I wanted a doctor who knew from the get go what would be best for my face. I knew that he knew the proportions of beauty like a science and how to preserve your particular beauty naturally. I never got any sense of doubt or second guessing coming from him so my faith in the procedure was solid. The whole experience was actually comfortable, with every detail well planned out in advance and nothing but kind, competent ,supportive staff surrounding me at all times. Dr Talei and his staff have the whole process and aftercare well mapped out. And the result....fantastic! I could not have imagined how good I would look! I actually have a neck now and my face is natural and the best I could have ever imagined it. This is definitely not your mother's facelift, there are NO telltale signs AT ALL! Gone are the days of looking "pulled!" And here's another tidbit of info I absorbed about Dr. Talei.....like me, most of his patients do NOT allow him to use their before and after photos on his website (in my case because the before photos are SOOO bad and I'm a Shrinking Violet to begin with), but I'm sure many of his patients are from the ranks of the rich and famous and simply do not want their faces out there in that capacity. So just keep that in mind, if you're looking at the pictures, a very very VERY small fraction of what he's actually done is in the picture gallery on his website. Just sayin'! read more

Want a revision. Front desk needs pictures first. You only get to speak with the receptionist; however, I take good pictures and need to be seen in person. Money isn't a problem but the hurdle of getting to be seen in person is ridiculous. I was recommended by another doctor in Beverly Hills. Not happy as I am certain there are people who take good pictures and need to be seen face to face. read more

I recently had a temporal brow lift with Dr. Talei, and I could not be happier with my experience. I originally went in thinking I needed a different procedure, but Dr. Talei was incredibly honest and conservative. He didn't try to upsell me or push anything unnecessary...he focused on exactly what I needed, not just what I thought I wanted. His technique is unbelievably delicate and precise. You can tell he's a true artist and a complete genius with his hands. The best part is that my results look completely natural...no one can tell I had anything done. People just say I look refreshed, rested, and lifted in the most subtle way, which is exactly what I wanted. Dr. Talei's entire team is just as exceptional. From the moment I walked in, they treated me like family. The energy in his office is warm, welcoming, and at the same time extremely high-end and elevated. Every staff member went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and cared for. I can confidently say that Dr. Talei is not only a master at what he does but also someone you can truly trust. If you're looking for a surgeon who is honest, skilled, and deeply committed to natural, refined results, he is the one. Highly recommend! read more

Dr.Talei of Beverly Hills, is a very nice and very talented physician with equal abilities in artistic and technical strength. His whole team is fabulous, and your experience from the get-go will be met with professionalism and care. I highly recommend Dr. Talei for fabulous results!! read more

I cannot express in words how pleased I am with the work and the results of Dr Talei's magic. I wasn't your typical candidate, no experience with plastic procedures, botox or fillers. All is wanted is to find a surgeon that could make me look better,but not different than my self. I had a brow lift and upper eye lid surgery at the age of 47 and the results are amazing. The recovery was a bit more challenging than I expected, but every individual is different. Dr Talei's team was incredibly attentive, kind and helpful. I was feeling anxious and insecure throughout my recovery, and they were there every step of the way, always answering my questions and giving me the piece of mind I was looking for. Dr Ben Talei is the best choice for facial procedures, his name and reputation match the results I received. Im highly recommending his craft and flawless parctice! ! read more

A drunk driver destroyed my face. Dr. Talei gave it back to me. Nine months after a devastating accident, I look in the mirror and see the same smiling face I feared I had lost forever -- all because of Dr. Talei's skill, compassion, and an extraordinary team that treated me like family. Last year, a drunk driver smashed into the car I was in, leaving me with devastating injuries and a face I barely recognized. I had lacerations at the base of my scalp, two deep gashes running down my forehead and along my nose that came dangerously close to my skull, my nose broken in five places, and my top lip torn open. In those first few days, while drifting in and out of consciousness, I felt crushed by the thought that I might never look like myself again. The emergency room doctors did what they could to stitch me together, but the outcome was difficult to see. I needed someone who understood severe facial trauma and could give me a real chance at recovery. After searching for a surgeon with that kind of experience, my sister connected me with Dr. Talei's office and with Jennifer, his trusted right hand. She understood exactly what I was going through because she had lived it herself, and Dr. Talei had been the one who restored her appearance and confidence. They recognized how urgent my situation was. Even though it was just days before Christmas, in one of the busiest times of the year, Dr. Talei and Jennifer made room for me shortly after I left the emergency room. They did not have to take me in, but they did, and that compassion alone gave me hope before I even walked through the door. When I first met Dr. Talei, my face was swollen from rough sutures, my nose was visibly crooked, and my lips were painfully bloated. Blood still seeped from the stitches holding my wounds together, and my eyes no longer aligned. I felt frozen, unable to show my true emotions, but inside I was completely shattered. In that moment, he looked at me with complete confidence and said, "I am going to make you look like you did before. You will have some minor scarring, but you will be very happy with the outcome. I am going to bring 'you' back." The calm certainty in his voice made me believe that maybe, just maybe, I could get my face and my life back. It has now been nine months, and he has kept every word of that promise. The torn and damaged face I once saw in the mirror is gone. In its place is the same smiling face I have known my entire life, a reflection I feared I had lost forever. Dr. Talei did not just repair my features, he gave me back my confidence, my identity, and the comfort of recognizing myself again. He is without question the best in the world at what he does. His surgical skill is extraordinary, but it is his compassion and humanity that make the experience unforgettable. Jennifer, along with Veronica and Esther, treated me as if I were family during one of the most difficult moments of my life. The entire office works with the precision and skill of an elite Navy SEAL team, where every person is exceptional at what they do, and together they create a team that is truly unmatched. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need the very best, where your confidence, your appearance, and a part of your spirit are at stake, go to Dr. Talei. He is a miracle worker, and I will be forever grateful to him and his incredible team. read more

I had a revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Ben Talei after knowing him for years and genuinely believing he was a friend--not just a doctor. I originally met him during my time as Miss Nevada USA, and we built what I thought was a trusting, professional relationship. When it came time for surgery, I was told they didn't take insurance. Yet my insurance was later billed and paid nearly $70,000, on top of the $17,000 I paid out of pocket. He acted like he was doing me a favor and giving me a deal--but clearly had no issue accepting both payments. On top of that, the procedure was done in his own in-office surgery center, meaning he was profiting from both the surgical fees and the facility fees. At no point was I given a full, itemized breakdown explaining what I was paying for versus what insurance was being billed. That lack of transparency should be a major red flag for anyone considering surgery here. To my insurance company, he claimed in the medical records that my nose was going to collapse if it wasn't corrected--deeming the procedure medically necessary. Looking back, it felt like he knew exactly what to say to get the highest payout. I later found out that some charges--like those for the anesthesiologist--may have been billed to both me and my insurance. When I contacted the insurance company, they told me if they had known the surgery was cosmetic, they never would have approved payment. The fact that he owns the surgery center and profits from both ends of the procedure feels like a conflict of interest that wasn't disclosed to me at the time. What was most disheartening wasn't just the money--it was the shift in how I was treated. Once he became more well-known, the professionalism and care disappeared. I went from being treated like a friend to being treated like a transaction. What I thought was a relationship built on trust turned out to be one where I felt taken advantage of--financially and professionally. If you're considering surgery with Dr. Talei, get everything in writing--especially around billing and insurance--and don't assume a friendly tone means transparency. I learned that the hard way. For what it's worth, I do like how my nose turned out. But the way everything was handled behind the scenes--financially and ethically--overshadowed that. read more

They are extremely professional and considerate at the location. Dr Ben is perfect in his assessments. He truly is gifted.

Dr. Ben Talei is a horrible plastic surgeon. He completely destroyed my face, and now I have to live with his awful work for the rest of my life. It's a nightmare. He does not truly care about his patients. He only cares about himself and money. The mark of a gifted and great plastic surgeon is to make you look like you haven't had work done. He did the opposite. He made his work on me ridiculously obvious. Do not trust Dr. Ben Talei. Find a surgeon with the best skills because it's your face, and the work is permanent. Dr. Ben Talei is extraordinarily mediocre. And what makes it worse is that he has no integrity! read more

I'm so grateful that I was able to get work done with Dr. Talei, because he is so incredibly skilled! My results are truly natural looking. His whole team is kind and welcoming, and always made me feel very comfortable. I loved my entire experience, and my results! He is the absolute best! read more

Dr. Ben Talei is in a category all by himself! From the moment I arrived, he welcomed me with a hug and kind smile, and his amazing team--Esther, his head nurse, and Veronica in the financial department--made me feel completely at ease. His postoperative instructions were like a bible, every detail covered, and at my first appointment after surgery, the nurse greeted me with beautiful flowers from Dr. Talei and his staff. After another Beverly Hills doctor had left my face damaged, I thought I'd never recognize myself again. Dr. Talei's golden hands gave me my face back--only 10-15 years younger! I am forever grateful to him and his staff for restoring my appearance, my confidence, and my joy. Truly the best plastic surgeon! Forever grateful read more

Such a great experience with Dr. Talei's office with Dr. Lockwood, so kind, attentive and informative. The office was so pretty and staff all were really sweet both over the phone and at the front desk! I had an accident where my lip split open and he attended to it in the best way to ensure it healed good as new read more

This is the only place I would ever trust with any body or facial enhancements! I've seen Dr. Robert Cohen for a few procedures now, and he is incredibly knowledgeable, has wonderful bedside manner, makes you feel very comfortable and has the most beautiful natural aesthetic. If you're looking for natural undetectable results, this is the place to go. No one can tell I've had anything done until I tell them myself! There aftercare is also top-notch. They make sure you are set up to heal as quickly and comfortably as possible. Not to mention, all of the Office girls are wonderful to work with. Shayla is just a ray of sunshine and I love getting to go in just to see them! Esther is fantastic and really makes you feel comfortable and at ease pre procedure. The receptionists are all organized and always on top of it. I've referred tons of friends and clients to them and will happily do so over and over again. Not sponsored or asked-- just my honest review of the best plastic surgery center ever !!! There's nothing better than feeling like your most beautiful self. Thank you, Beverly Hills Center! read more

Love love love love everything about the staff , nurses and doctors the best !!! My results and respect!!!! Thank You

I recently had a consultation with Dr. Ben Talei, and overall, it was a great experience. The consultation fee was $500, and I was required to submit photos beforehand for approval--standard practice for highly sought-after doctors, whether plastic surgeons or not. Before my visit, I was able to see on their website that there are two pricing tiers depending on who performs the surgery. Dr. Talei's pricing is undeniably high--his Auralift procedure, including facility and anesthesia fees, comes to $92k. This does not cover additional costs, such as a $2k one-night stay at a nearby post-surgical aftercare facility, which includes a driver and nurse. It also does not include any work done on or around the eyes, which was additional $50k (upper/lower blepharoplasty & brow reset). For those seeking a more affordable option, there is an alternative: Dr. Talei has two associate surgeons whose pricing is roughly one-third of his. While their names and credentials were not discussed in detail during my consultation, I was informed of this option only when I inquired. I was told that these surgeons were trained by Dr. Talei and deliver results of the same high standard. The estimate I received was specifically for Dr. Salehi Parsa, MD. Additionally, scheduling with one of the associates appears to be faster than securing a surgery date with Dr. Talei. There were a couple of minor drawbacks in my experience. First, scheduling my consultation was frustrating--Jennifer, the receptionist, was difficult to get ahold of, and we played phone tag for over a week. Eventually, I lost patience and asked another receptionist to schedule me instead, and it was handled immediately. Second, I would appreciate more transparency about the alternative, lower-cost surgical option. I only learned about it after asking their patient coordinator, which makes me wonder if it's not in their interest to actively promote it. Considering the vast price difference--$35k versus $90k--I think more patients would benefit from knowing all their options upfront. That said, my first impression of Dr. Talei and his practice was very positive. He was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. The office was beautiful, the staff (aside from the scheduling hiccup) were welcoming, and I've seen impressive photos of his work. If you're considering a procedure, I'd definitely recommend visiting his office and getting to know him. P.S. The consultation fee cannot be applied towards any procedure. read more

Dr. Ben Talei is the best of the best! A kind and generous doctor. He quickly helped to correct a poorly done wound closure to prevent scarring and hair loss in my scalp. I'm truly so grateful. His staff is also so friendly and caring, you will find NOT find better care than the team at Talei's office in Beverly Hills. THANK YOU!! read more

I think Dr Talei is a genius, and this is not an exaggeration. I seriously doubt if any other plastic surgeon is as well-versed about not only surgery, but fillers, fat transfer, how light falls on and reflects off of one's face. Prior to listening to his Instagram lives, I never would have heard of these subtle but important facets of enhancing beauty. The only complaint I have is not with Dr Talei at all, but with Veronica, the Surgery Coordinator. I found her rather abrupt, and not friendly. In addition, she made a few mistakes in my case, causing me a lot of stress, and didn't admit nor apologize for making these errors. If there's one thing I cannot stand it's when someone does not take accountability for their mistakes. So, save for Veronica, my experience with Dr Talei was exceptional read more

Very impressed that Dr. Talei called me when he found out that I was disappointed that I was told that my deposit and prior quote was lost due to the fact that my mother is dying of pancreatic cancer. I had moved the surgery prior and was told that another change of date would not be possible. I had every intention of moving forward with the surgery this December, and obviously can not have plastic surgery right now with my mother being so ill. Olivia told me that I could not move the surgery again and that I would lose my deposit and prior quote. Dr. Talei called me and said his office would be calling me to rectify the misunderstanding. That is incredibly admirable with how busy and in demand he is! Dr. Talei actually called me while on a plane about to take off for a trip out of the country. Quite impressive!! Looking forward to good news from his office Manager Elena. Stay tuned... read more

I came to this office unsure of what to expect, and my experience well surpassed my expectations. If you are looking for attention to detail and an unbelievably gentle yet professional hand, PA Taylor is the best you'll find. Taylor is the only person I will ever let near my face. She walked me through her recommendations based on my goals, and gave very clear aftercare instructions. I tend to bruise easily and I can't believe how minimal my bruising / soreness is post treatment. She is kind and her care for her clients and her work shows so clearly in the way she conducts herself/ her procedures. Can not recommend highly enough!!! Thank you Taylor!! read more

Dr. Talei was the only dr who's was able to balance the bad asymmetry on my lips and smile. Unfortunately After many failed attempts to get a dental implant I was left with a deformity on lips and face. Dr. Talei put me back as whole and I'm no longer embarrassed to smile!!! Having a lip lift was the BEST decision I've made! Dr. Talei is very talented, inteligente, passionate about his work and very professional!!! I love him and his work! I HIGHLY recommend him!!!! As you can see on the left side of my face/ lips are uneven. Now they are perfect!!! I'm a lot more confident!!! Thx dr. Talei! You are the BEST!!! read more

I inquired about a consultation and received an email a day later that came across so impersonal and as though they are trying to avoid new patients. I had requested consultations with 3 plastic surgeons and will ultimately choose the one I feel most comfortable with (surgeon and staff), as it has been my experience (lesson learned) that the supporting staff is a huge factor in your overall experience. One thing they got right in their email to me is "there are many variables when it comes to surgery" and they need to realize how true that is for their patients/prospective patients as well! Before agreeing to even schedule a consultation they require a preliminary evaluation. I guess if they "like you" then there is a $500 consultation fee required to book the consultation but, unlike many other surgeons, the consultation fee is not applied toward the cost of surgery. They are currently booking consultations about 6 months out. For me, the impersonal and unwelcoming email I received was enough to mark Dr. Talei off my list of prospective surgeons to be considered for my upcoming procedure. The other two surgeons I reached out to offered a much more pleasant and welcoming first impression! read more

Taylor possesses an exceptional skill set, attention to detail, and client-centric approach that truly sets her apart. She listened attentively to my preferences and provided insightful suggestions, resulting in natural-looking, perfectly enhanced lips that exceeded my expectations. The procedure was virtually painless, and Taylor's comforting demeanor instantly put me at ease. It also helps that she's an absolute gem of a human being!!! read more

Dr. Talei is an artist! my revision lip lift is fantastic. He was able to revise the scar and poor work performed by another doctor. I am so glad I chose him. read more

Taylor is a master of lips and intensive treatments. She's amazing at customizing treatment for the best results while making it super comfortable, just like talking to a good friend. Highly recommend seeing Taylor if you're having any reservations! read more

I followed Taylor PA-C from San Francisco. I found her in SF and have not let anyone touch my face since. I even went 5 months without any treatments because I refused to let anyone else touch my face and I couldn't get an appointment with her because of my work schedule and hectic travel. I just went back to her and I feel like I have life in my eyes again. THANK YOU Taylor for making me beautiful and enhancing my features instead of changing them. As I tell her, she has the hands of a goddess and the softest touch. I also barely bruise and when I used to go to an MD for injectable's, I would always bruise. That's the added bonus of being with her. 10/10 recommend. 10/10 work. Would pay any fee for her. It's hard finding someone to trust with your face and I'm lucky to have found my person. read more

Could not have had a better experience. Everyone in the office was professional, organized, pleasant, and good energy! Olivia was very helpful in getting things setup and they sent thorough instructions. I feel like Dr. Talei undersells and overdelivers. He was the top choice out of seeing several surgeons and am beyond thankful with the outcome! It was my 4th and final rhinoplasty. First 3 were done by a double-board certified plastic surgeon, but it got worse after every surgery. I was scared to have yet another surgery because I thought I had done my research the first time! Credentials aren't enough and all of his work was what sold me. I loved most that I got to see photos/video from surgery and he loves to educate on what happened or is going on. He pays attention to detail and was worth every penny. I am proud to show my before and after pictures because he did such an amazing job and surpassed my expectations aesthetically. And I had no idea how bad my breathing was until after surgery. It's made my sleep quality much better as well. After my surgery, I discovered Aura Spa Healing Center (the med spa associated with his practice) and started working with Jenn Hollander, NP, and she's just as talented!! So thankful and definitely recommend! read more

I can only speak about his disposition, as I did not have any procedures here. We just spoke as I was getting a second opinion. My caretaker/ assistant was w me. We were both curious WHY I would have this electrical reaction. It's one for the books. It's a shame my life/ brain/ face was not saved in time, preferably that day, and then put me in a test tube. It's scientific knowledge that may further science in some way. It's never been seen before. There is information here. He doesn't use the device that took me out of life. These days, the money is in the repairs. One doctor who was on a TV show for a while is charging 80-100k to fix the damage ( Rumor is he is fixing Kim K). I had a few friends come to Dr. T, with nothing but rave reviews. The office staff is VERY sweet and professional. I was going to treat my caretaker to facetyte, as she has a double chin. He explained the system. That's the one doctors are using for saggy necks and double chins these days I guess. He was realistic about how much fat it would remove on her, and safety. I would trust this doctor. read more

All providers at Beverly Hills center are exceptional, but this review is specifically for Dr. Hedyeh Ziai. My boyfriend and I came in for a consultation after a nose injury. She has such a calming, reassuring presence, paired with honest expectation setting and obvious expertise. It's so difficult to find a caring, attentive provider who delivers natural results. She truly wants the best for her patients. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Hedyeh Ziai for your surgical needs. read more

I got a brow lift from Dr. Talei 5 yeaes ago and it was horrible. First want to say he is a nice dr. And tries hard to seem interested. But once you commit to surgery they completely drop the ball. They gave me Zero instructions Where to go on day of surgery. I arrive in the morning and literally going around the all the offices which was empty of people and I end up just sitting on one random room when Dr. Talei comes and was shocked to see me sitting there and then instructed me where to go which was totally another location. He was surprised no one told me prior where to go. As for my results.. the worst scar in Front of my hairline that after 5 yrs is still visible! .. the incision made some weird dent in front of scar and a weird hump behind it so my hairline and forehead looks weird. But Worst part is there is literally and I mean literally zero difference!!.. not a single improvement and now I have a horrible scar!.. I am planning to try to tattoo some hair so I can camouflage it since so many people notice my scar.. i wish I wasn't swayed by his glowing reviews .. so that is why I'm writing this.. not to bash him but just to let people know my experience and felt he completely dropped the ball from start to finish with me. read more

Dr Ben Talei is such a cool and very talented guy! His knowledge and magic hands are a true gift. He's so down to earth and so are his amazing peeps that work for him . No LA attitude here at all. I have always had a thin upper lip and was tired of getting fillers throughout the years. I researched and researched and found that Ben was the man for the lip lift. I was finally able to fly in today for my follow up 13 months later. I'm so happy with my lip because it has shape and my teeth show when I smile. Dr Talei is in such high demand that he may not get to you at your exact appointment time so do plan accordingly, he is most definitely worth the wait. I'll post before and after soon. I highly recommend him! :) read more

I literally cannot say enough AMAZING things about Jennifer Hollander, NP. I am a Botox/dysport virgin. I am happy to report I do not look my age (at least I'd like to think so) and so far haven't needed any work. Life and children have given me lines in my forehead I do not appreciate and Jennifer is a gem. She talked me through the entire process. Gave me her professional opinion on what needs to be done and calmed my nerves. The "procedure" itself was relatively painless. Let's face it ladies, if you have given birth, you can do this. I promise you!! My results? Well... now I really look younger! Wrinkles be gone. Oh and their office decor is out of this world cool. Even has an original Alec Monopoly! Beyond! Run ladies and gents! read more

Dr. Talei is 100% a sweetheart and pointed me in the right direction to restore my buccal fat pads after they were removed as part of TMJ corrective jaw surgery, even though he doesn't offer the procedure he recommended. The office called less than an hour after I left with the referral. Thank you! It can be an emotional topic because I never asked for my buccal fat to be removed, wasn't made aware of the longterm effects and it hollowed out my face significantly. Three stars because scheduling was so strange. I had a virtual consultation set up for Sept 3rd @ 6:30pm but got a voicemail last month that the 9th was open for an in-person appointment. I wasn't able to reach them on the phone the next day, so sent a quick Instagram message (where I originally reached out) to make sure they knew I was available & not lose the slot. When it was "liked" but not verbally confirmed, I emailed Anna to check in. I'm pretty sure she's the one who called me (since we were already in contact via e-mail), confirmed the in-person slot was still open and moved my 9/3 6:30pm virtual appointment to 9/9 12pm in-person. Then I saw a missed call from their office yesterday morning while driving to the appointment. Called back and they asked to push my *virtual* appointment back a few hours. Hold on - virtual? I was so confused. It didn't seem to matter what I said, they said my in-person appointment was never confirmed. That doesn't make any sense because I didn't have any other reason to change my appointment from the 3rd to the 9th. It was literally only moved because the in-person appointment was confirmed! I don't mind a virtual consultation, that was the original plan, but receiving a phone call like this halfway to the appointment was frustrating. A simple I'm sorry we need to change your appointment back to virtual would've sufficed! Even day-of! These are insane times, shit happens. After explaining all of this & getting emotional because I felt like I was being gaslit, they said I could still come in at 12:30pm and the appointment ended up being a great experience. Anyway, lesson learned. Always ask for written confirmation! People make mistakes and I would've been fine changing my appointment back to virtual or rescheduling. The frustrating part was that I was already on my way to the appointment from the other side of town and there was no acknowledgement of even the possibility that something might have gone wrong on their end. read more

I requested a consult appointment and after reviewing my photos, I received an email that I was not a candidate. Dr. Talei will not give a reason why I am not a candidate. He makes this determination based solely on photos, and without seeing me in person. I have had at least 5 other plastic surgeons tell me that I am a good candidate. It's confounding that there is so little effort in making his decision. read more

I do not recommend Dr. Ben Talei and Beverly Hills Center for Plastic Surgery. He did terrible work on my face. He is incredibly dishonest and does not listen to what you want. Based on my experience with him and his office, it is also clear they are not interested in protecting patient privacy. They only care about getting your money. This is a warning to those considering surgery with him. His work can be horrible. You should find a top surgeon with integrity which is not Dr. Ben Talei. read more

I had a consult with this doctor like 1.5 yrs ago. I flew out like 3 hrs to come and see him. I waited over an hour past my appt time to see him, and even when i was roomed i could here him chatting it up with his employees in the next room. Totally un-professional. Horrible customer sevice and prices are ridiculous for a 30 min procedure. Tip: many doctors (more qualified and experienced) in Florida that will do a lip lift at like 1/4 of what he charges. read more

Very annoying process. Not very friendly. They won't talk to you unless you send the pictures ahead of time to either accept or reject you as a client. Very pretentious. I don't recommend. It's quite off putting read more

Dr. Talei is an amazing surgeon but he does handle Botox. Do not attempt to call here for Botox. The system is the worst! I called and they said they had an appt cancellation in March. I was driving and literally not three minutes from my garage. It is not safe to drive and read your credit card. She said she cannot hold it for three minutes? Really? I pulled in the garage and ran upstairs and called back and it was taken in two minutes. **This is like the Walmart of Botox. Why would they have ten people answering the phone for one person that does the Botox? The person for the appt was rude and abrupt. Such a shame. It used to be a professional office when I spent 50K there. If the appt scheduling is this bad, why would you trust the injector? read more

I'm upgrading the rating to a 4 because it has been years since the procedure and the aging process has probably naturally elongated my upper lip, which I hadn't taken into consideration when writing my previous review. He did a great job and my results look natural. I'm thankful that Dr. Talei was more conservative rather than removing too much length. read more
