I went to Dr. Amunategui with concerns of a possible ruptured implant, and from start to finish my…read moreexperience could not have been better. The consultation was free, and he immediately made me feel comfortable, important, and never once rushed. I was referred to him by a friend whose results were the most beautiful I had ever seen, and after my consultation I knew I was in the best hands. Surgery day was completely stress-free thanks to him and his wonderful staff. (By the way, not only did he come in to see me before and after surgery but he even came in to put on my compression socks beforehand and stayed well after to make sure I was alright afterward!) The anesthesiologist and the nurse who stayed with me as I woke up were especially kind and caring. After surgery, they confirmed that my implant had indeed ruptured, and Dr. Amunategui performed a capsulectomy. My results are absolutely perfect and they're looking even better every day--I could not be happier. Dr. Amunategui is truly THE BEST, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy surgeon.

This review is solely regarding my interaction with the woman on the phone just 3 seconds ago…read moreTuesday September 6th at precisely 4pm. All I simply wanted was the price (or an estimate) for their under eye filler service however, the woman insisted that they do not quote prices over the phone. Furthermore she proceeded to say the doctor would need to give me a consultation. Really lady? A consultation just for fillers, even though I was crystal clear about having fillers done before & I know precisely what I want. I strongly believe that this was a clear indication of what the unnecessary consultation would be like (a surprise of upselling). I don't know what this lady's problem is but she was the fourth phone call I've made to compare prices & the only one who was incapable of giving me a simple estimate. I simply wanted to compare prices before proceeding with an appointment for sometime next week. I'm definitely getting Under Eye Fillers as a mild rejuvenation but I'm definitely not going here for the service. I've decided to go with another doctor who's just 2 blocks away. The medical receptionist there didn't have any problems giving me the price per syringe (which is all I wanted).

His office staff is sweet and it puts me at ease that they are still following Covid protocol. The check-in process is super simple. You're immediately taken back to your room. Dr. Lewen is great. He takes his time and truly educates you on procedures, which is not something you see everywhere. He is a master at what he does and he ensures a natural result. Again, something I really appreciate. Lastly, his office staff ensure that they check up with you the morning after your procedure, which shows great care. Overall a very pleasant experience from start to finish. Five stars!

I find myself utterly disappointed and wondering whether the great number of 5 star reviews for…read morethis clinic and doctor are just the usual gaggle of friends and bots. Story so far. I visited the office about 6 months ago. I was interested in making minor eye lid adjustment and the doctor was a great salesman in making me feel comfortable and signing up for additional services which I don't really need. In order to schedule a firm date for the procedure I was asked to pay 100% upfront which I did. Once I got home my wife told me that I overpaid - I guess everyone negotiates but I was unaware of this. Oh well. I liked the doctor and he did have 5 stars . My schedule is extremely busy however and I was told that if I need to as long as I provide a reasonable notice I can change my procedure date. As it happened I did have to do just that twice. The second time however things went down hill rather quickly. Even though I apologized and gave reasonable notice I was treated extremely poorly as if they were doing me a favor by providing the procedure I paid for. After I had enough of their condescending language I told them I am done with the drama and they can either rebook me or refund my monies since absolutely no work has been done. Instead I was told that they will refund my money minus penalties and various fees. This in my opinion is a behavior of fraudsters and rogues not medical professionals. Therefore I plan on seeing you in court. I assume I am not the only one that has been mistreated by these rascals. Therefore I welcome others to reach out and join my cause. I am happy to foot the bill for what I consider a righteous cause. Doctors need to hold themselves to a higher standard then just how to make a quick buck. My email is rhe same as my name @gmail.com. Meanwhile I will have my staff file official complaints with the following departments: 1. Florida Department of Health (DOH): They oversee healthcare practitioners in Florida. You can file a complaint through their Consumer Services Unit. 2. Florida Attorney General's Office: For issues related to consumer protection, such as potential fraudulent practices, you can submit a complaint to the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division. 3. American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS): If the surgeon is a member, you can report ethical concerns to the ASPS Ethics Committee.

1 STAR "ELITE" IS A VERY GENEROUS WORD…read more My girlfriend had surgery at Elite Plastic Surgery in Hollywood, FL, and I was there throughout the experience. After seeing how patients are treated before, during, and especially AFTER surgery, I can confidently say I would not recommend this place to someone I dislike, let alone someone I love. The experience can basically be summarized as: Step 1: Take your money Step 2: Do the surgery Step 3: Good luck finding anyone who answers the phone Step 4: Sit in the waiting room for an hour Step 5: Wonder why you didn't go somewhere else Once the money is collected, the customer service seems to disappear faster than a doctor when it's time to answer questions. Getting someone on the phone afterward is practically a scavenger hunt. And when you actually go into the office, expect to spend an hour or more waiting, apparently because having enough staff to properly handle patients is considered an unnecessary luxury. The whole thing gives the impression that every possible corner is being cut to save money. And if that's the business model, fine just maybe don't call yourself "Elite." The most frustrating part is that this isn't ordering a pizza. This is surgery. Patients should feel supported, respected, and cared for after handing over thousands of dollars and putting their bodies in someone else's hands. Instead, the feeling we were left with was: "Congratulations on completing your payment. Your customer service subscription has now expired." Honestly, if you hate your loved ones, I may have found the perfect gift for you. Send them to Elite Plastic Surgery. They'll get the full VIP experience: Pay a lot Wait forever Call repeatedly Nobody answers ‍ Figure it out yourself All jokes aside, surgery is serious, and the experience AFTER surgery matters just as much as the procedure itself. Based on what I personally witnessed with my girlfriend, I would strongly recommend doing your homework and considering other practices before choosing this one. Elite Plastic Surgery: because apparently the "elite" part is just marketing

I want to be clear that I am very happy with my surgeon and with my surgical result. My concern is…read morenot about the surgeon himself, but about how the clinic is managed. The only appointment that started on time was my initial consultation, when I was still deciding whether to become a patient. Every appointment after that was delayed by several hours, usually 4-5 hours, and often rescheduled one or two times before it even happened. Before my surgery, I had an implant selection appointment. I rushed there straight from the airport without eating or sleeping because I thought it was important to arrive on time. I had no idea that the clinic was never on schedule. When I finally saw the doctor, I was given only a few minutes to choose my implants because everyone was in a hurry. This is a decision I will live with for many years, and I did not feel I was given enough time to make it carefully. On the day of my surgery, I was instructed to arrive early in the morning. When I got there, the clinic was still closed, and I had to wait outside for 20-30 minutes. My postoperative care has been especially disappointing. Since my surgery, I have only had one postoperative examination, and it was performed by a nurse. Every other follow-up appointment has been delayed, canceled, or rescheduled. On multiple occasions, I waited for hours only to be told that the doctor had left for the day and that I would need to come back another time. After one of these incidents, the clinic manager personally apologized and assured me that this would never happen again. She also promised to send me silicone scar sheets and scar gel as compensation for the repeated inconvenience. It has now been two months, and I have never received anything that was promised. Today was supposed to be my three-month postoperative follow-up. Once again, I waited for approximately three hours, no one showed up, and I was simply asked to reschedule for another day. This has become a pattern rather than an isolated incident. I understand that unexpected delays can happen, but this level of disorganization has continued throughout my entire experience. While I am genuinely grateful for my surgical outcome and appreciate my surgeon's skill, the clinic's scheduling, communication, follow-up care, and respect for patients' time have been extremely disappointing.

I chose this clinic after doing research on Reddit, Facebook, and Instagram, and decided to move…read moreforward with Dr. Karlinsky. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. Both my friend and I had surgery here on different days, and both of us waited over two hours just to be called during pre-op. The receptionists were very rude and spoke very little English. When I asked when I would be seen, they would roll their eyes instead of providing an update. Because they kept giving me inaccurate wait times, I had to cancel my Uber twice. My surgery was scheduled for 6:00 AM. I arrived right at 6:00, and the door was unlocked but the entire clinic was dark and completely empty. When I walked inside, the burglary alarm started going off. I immediately walked back outside and waited in case law enforcement showed up. Staff didn't start arriving until around 6:30 AM, which was very concerning. During pre-op they took photos, and they also took photos the day after my surgery. The issue is that my results look exactly the same as before the procedure, which is not what I was told to expect. I was told that about 40% reduction would occur, but instead it appears like no visible change at all. It has now been three weeks since my surgery, and I reached out to the doctor regarding the photo comparisons. I was told that many people require multiple sessions to achieve their goals. However, the concern is that there is no noticeable difference between my pre-op photos, the day-after photos, and my current results three weeks later. After this experience, I did deeper research and found that others online have reported similar concerns, and there are several negative reviews describing comparable experiences. Because of how concerning this experience has been, I will also be documenting and sharing my experience on my blog, as well as on Reddit and Facebook, so others can be aware and make informed decisions before choosing this clinic. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage others to do thorough research and proceed with caution.
