From the very first appointment, Dr. Kaweski and her entire staff made me feel like family. Their kindness, compassion, and genuine care have meant the world to me. Dr. Kaweski is not only an incredibly skilled and talented surgeon, but she also takes the time to listen, explain, and make you feel comfortable every step of the way. I have never felt more confident in a surgeon or more hopeful about my outcome. As I move into Phase 2 of my reconstruction, I am grateful beyond words for the care I have received. After everything I've been through, Dr. Kaweski has given me something I thought I had lost--confidence and peace of mind. Her staff is amazing, always welcoming, supportive, and truly invested in their patients. I cannot recommend Dr. Kaweski and her team highly enough. They have been a blessing in my journey, and I will be forever grateful.

Dr. Susan Kaweski is truly a miracle worker…read more After my Mom had a 5 cm squamous cell carcinoma removed from her left chin area by Dr. Hansen in August (8/8/25), Dr. Kaweski performed the reconstructive plastic surgery. We were so relieved to see my Mom finally feeling better--free from the pain the cancer had caused. At her second post-op visit to remove the remaining stitches, I was shocked to see photos of the large hole left in her face. Given the size and location of the tumor, it wasn't entirely unexpected--but seeing the photos was overwhelming. The hole looked big enough to fit a golf ball in it! That's where Dr. Kaweski's incredible skills came in. Using skin from my Mom's own face, she was able to reconstruct and restore her appearance in a way that exceeded all our hopes. The transformation was nothing short of amazing. When I show people the "before" photo and then reveal how my Mom looks now, they're absolutely stunned. Not only is Dr. Kaweski a gifted plastic surgeon, but she and her entire office were also kind, compassionate, and supportive throughout the entire process. She is warm, personable, and clearly passionate about her work. The follow up visits have been wonderful too -- you can really tell what a caring and kind person she really is (besides being very good at reconstructive surgery!). We are beyond grateful for Dr. Kaweski's expertise and care--and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my Mom's face.

I noticed the first onset of something festering around June 6, 2025 about a month after the surgery. I had a scabby very painful area that I took a photo of and sent to the office and informed them of the pain.. I was told to just put vitamin E ointment on it it was just a spit stitch. That stitch turned into cellulitis, which caused me to have to go to Urgent Care and to the ER To have a drained. Twice. After two rounds of heavy duty antibiotics for 10 days and shots of antibiotics I thought maybe I was going to ok. The ER doctor suggested that I go back to Dr sessions to have additional drainage performed to prevent the pus from building up and bursting. I went back to Dr sessions unfortunately, he did not drain it. The Abscess ended up bursting later that night. It became an abscess the size of a half dollar. My primary caregiver has been proactive and trying to help me. I do not know what's going to happen. My primary caregiver says that it probably needs to be opened back up As he thinks that there are tunnels that have formed... from the infection, not being treated immediately. I cannot recommend in Good merit this establishment. The pain that I am feeling right now I cannot begin to tell you. Please take care and do your due diligence before you have surgery here he does not use drains for breast reduction, I had no idea how important having drains for breast surgery is. Until I have been going through this pain. From inadequate drainage. May have led to the infection. There were many opportunities that I was notifying them that I was having burning tingling itching pain that should've been a red flag for Any medical professional. Having a surgeon that is proactive and aggressive with respect to infections is very important.

I've been going here for years, but unfortunately things have become very disorganized recently…read more A few months ago they changed their appointment system, and my appointment was apparently lost in the transition. I even received a text confirming the appointment, but when I arrived I was told I didn't actually have one because it hadn't been entered into the "correct" system. Today was even more confusing. I went for my next appointment and ended up being bounced between their old location and their new one with no guidance whatsoever. I thought the sign at the old location says the new location will open on March 19, which led me to believe they were still operating out of the old space. However, when I arrived the doors were locked. Apparently the new location was open as of January 19, but there was no clear communication or signage explaining where to go or what was actually happening when I went to the new location either. This was especially frustrating because I made my appointment around or shortly after the time they had moved and no one thought to tell me that I would need to go to a new location. (Maybe I'm expecting too much to be proactively informed that the office has moved after I've been going to the same office for eight years or so.) It's frustrating because this used to be a reliable place, but right now the lack of organization and communication makes it very difficult just to figure out where you're supposed to be.

He is the type of doctor that takes time with his patient to explore their options and will tell you his honest opinion. What I loved about Dr. Erfani is that he was easily accessible and immediately returned all my phone calls with any concerns I had after my surgery and during my recovery process. He would be the right person you want to be doing your surgery with. Dr. Erfani has great bedside manner, he is compassionate, approachable, professional, intelligent and a great surgeon. He honestly loves to listen and talk to clients who wants to explore their options in enhancing their self esteem and confidence through plastic surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Erfani! It will be the best decision you'll ever make:)

Disheartening and Disfiguring Experience with Dr. Susan Kaweski…read more I underwent facial surgery with Dr. Susan Kaweski in December 2024, including a neck lift and tear trough fat grafting. The day after surgery, my left eye had a massive hematoma. Post-surgery, I developed pronounced "double rings" under my left eye when I smile--a disfigurement that has significantly impacted my self-esteem. My lower left eyelid is also permanently swollen. Despite multiple consultations, several reputable plastic surgeons have declined to take my case, citing the complexity and permanence of the issue. Additionally, the neck lift was left incomplete, with noticeable loose skin and an untreated platysmal band on the right side, undermining the procedure's intended results. During follow-up visits, Dr. Kaweski and her staff, particularly patient coordinator Kim Mulholland, and nurse Sarah Pence repeatedly suggested additional and expensive treatments like PRP injections, asserting they would correct the under-eye issue. However, other plastic surgeons I have seen (including oculoplastic surgeons) have informed me that PRP (and PRFA) would be ineffective for my condition. When I expressed concerns about the additional costs, Kim remarked, "That's the price of beauty," a comment I found deeply insensitive given my distress. Further, Dr. Kaweski blamed ME for "being too skinny" and that she had trouble harvesting enough fat to put into my tear troughs. Well, she should have declined to do this surgery on me if she found that to be the case then. I sure do wish I stuck to under-eye fillers that I did successfully for 6 years - which can easily be reversed. Unfortunately, this horrible fat-grafting is irreversible. Dr. Kaweski is against under-eye fillers and assured me it was "healthier" to do fat grafting and that "I was going to love it." Well, I am not loving it. I share this experience to caution others to thoroughly research and seek multiple opinions before proceeding with this surgeon for similar procedures. It appears that symmetry is not Dr. Kaweski's forte with her results.

Unfortunately, there are those who have ridiculous expectations, will not follow the Dr's advice, believe they know more than the doctor, and make unfortunate conclusions before the site has time to heal. I had an augmentation in 2000 which takes time to settle in to see the final results and which haven't been adjusted, replaced or damaged over the past 25 years. I have successfully recommended her to others and they have returned to her for more procedures, knowing she will give the most professional care and can trust her for any recommendations she gives. It's regrettable that there are those who try to smudge a time physicians care with hysterical accusations and unfounded facts.

They are extremely patient and helpful in answering questions in regards to their methods, up-front costs, and working with insurance. As far as I know, this was the only practice I found that allowed me to get a consultation, and then the costs of the consultation would go towards the actual procedure as well. For my first visit, Dr. Handler was extremely kind and personable. He was patient in answering my questions, setting expectations, and did not rush me out the door.

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.
