The doctor seemed good. But the staff made several mistakes with my prescriptions, which cost me a fair amount of time.

Dr. Brozowski is a rare find in the aesthetic space. Because she is a MD with a background in…read moreinternal medicine, she approaches treatments with a level of anatomical precision that you just don't get at a standard med-spa. She doesn't overfill or push 'trends'; she focuses on restoring a natural baseline. Her technique is methodical, her office is clinical and spotless, and the results are high-fidelity. If you want a doctor who understands the science of aging rather than just the marketing, this is the office to visit.

Dr. Brozowski is an unethical, horrible con artist of a doctor. She had a failed general medical…read morepractice before she decided to try and make money selling skin care services. As others have noted, she is arrogant, rude and lacks empathy. She will push procedures and use the wrong equipment on purpose in order to make money and grow her businesses. She destroyed the texture of my skin and left permanent scarring by pushing a laser treatment using the wrong laser and treating areas of my face that I did not request nor approve. She just does what she wants and does not care about the patient. Avoid her at all costs. Even some of her staff won't let her perform procedures on their skin. She does not have a good reputation with other actual dermatologists in the area, who have had to treat her damaged patients. I too wish I would have looked at all yelp reviews before choosing this horrible doctor.

Dr. Lavey is an outstanding plastic surgeon whose 40+ years of experience are evident in every…read moreaspect of his work. His approach is highly individualized, with careful attention to each patient's unique features and goals rather than a standardized treatment plan. He demonstrates exceptional precision and a refined artistic eye, producing results that are both natural and aesthetically balanced. His ability to combine technical expertise with a nuanced understanding of facial and body harmony truly sets him apart. In addition to his clinical excellence, Dr. Lavey is warm, attentive, and deeply committed to patient care. He takes the time to ensure clear communication and alignment on expectations, which creates a strong sense of trust and confidence throughout the process. His office staff reflects the same level of professionalism--welcoming, respectful, and highly organized--contributing to a seamless and comfortable experience. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Dr. Lavey. His expertise, integrity, and outstanding results make him exceptional in his field. I could not be happier with his brilliant work!

My second procedure with Dr. Lavey was almost two weeks ago and I couldn't be happier! From the…read morebeginning, Dr. Lavey was so generous with his time and I never felt like he was rushing the appointment. I asked his opinion of what might be best for my face and he suggested a brow lift and a facelift which included my neck. The thought of the brow lift initially scared me so I was reticent and thought perhaps I shouldn't do it. What I loved was that Dr. Lavey did not push me into the brow lift it at all. After another consult I decided to proceed with the brow lift in addition to my facelift and I'm so glad I did. What a huge difference. I was given a prescription for a strong pain medication to use after the procedure if I wanted, but I never needed anything other than over the counter Tylenol. All that worrying was for not because there was no pain with my procedures! It's more of a weird feeling because things are tight and numb. Incredible! Thank you thank you to Dr. Lavey and his staff for making me feel pretty again.

I have access to treatments and discounts elsewhere, but I specifically chose to see Sally because I really liked her work and trusted her expertise. She is incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and really takes her time. She listened carefully to what I wanted and was very detailed throughout the entire treatment. I really appreciate how natural and conservative her approach is, and you can tell she truly cares about the quality of her work. What impressed me just as much was her follow-up. She personally checked in with me afterward to see how I was healing and has been extremely responsive whenever I've had questions. Being an injector myself, I know how important that level of patient care is, and Sally truly goes above and beyond. I'm so glad I chose her and would absolutely recommend her!

Dr…read more Conderman set expectations for outward changes, aftercare, how long it would take for swelling to go down, as well as the level of pain and how long it would last. Every visit, Dr. Conderman spent a good deal of time with me to evaluate my issues, as well as talk me through everything. I would post pictures, but there is really no outward changes to my nose. All the changes are on the inside. So many improvements from his expert care, including an added two hours of sleep each evening, better breathing, as well as increased oxygen during exercise. I am so glad I found Dr. Conderman via another ENT. I highly recommend Dr. Conderman for your ENT/surgical needs. The office is friendly, helpful, and definitely added to the experience.

He has a great eye for delivering natural results and is incredibly knowledgeable. His staff is always warm and welcoming, and he has such a calm, attentive bedside manner. He really takes the time to listen and understand your concerns. One of the biggest benefits has been the relief from my headaches. The Botox has significantly reduced my pain and has made a noticeable difference in my day to day life. I didn't realize how much it was affecting me until I finally experienced consistent relief. I tend to downplay my own health issues, so I especially appreciate how thorough and thoughtful he's been. Without ever being pushy, he helped identify things I had brushed off for years, like a deviated septum and valve concerns etc. I had normalized my breathing difficulties, but thanks to his approach, I'm finally taking charge of my health and moving forward with the right specialist care. I'm so grateful, not just for the natural results, but for the real improvement in my quality of life. Thank you Dr. Conderman.

After three previous…read morerhinoplasties and dealing with my overly crooked nose and deviated septum, I expected him to tell me--like other plastic surgeons had over the years--to leave my flawed nose alone. To my surprise, after his assistant took pictures from all angles and he examined my nose, he said he could help me and that I was a good candidate! Two months ago, I underwent revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim, and I'm extremely happy with the results. He guided me every step of the way regarding what to expect from the surgery. Firstly, he informed me that my nose would be swollen and appear "big" for several months and that it might take up to 1-2 years to settle into its expected shape. He also mentioned that some asymmetry would remain, but that it would be significantly improved. Even while still swollen, I can see a huge improvement, and I've already received compliments from three friends about my new nose. I can breathe better now and have less sinus discharge. Most importantly, I no longer feel self-conscious about my nose. Each day, it seems to be getting a bit smaller, which is exciting. The renditions he provided of what my new nose would look like closely match how my nose appeared right after surgery before the swelling began. I would recommend Dr. Kim to anyone unhappy with their nose. I only wish I had found him sooner.

Dr. Chang listened carefully to my concerns and gave me her honest assessment of what she could and could not fix. I really appreciate this- she is very realistic and doesn't over promise on what she can do. It has been two months after my surgery and I'm already absolutely delighted with my results. It's such a relief to look in the mirror and not look like I'm exhausted every day. I have no doubt my face will look even better in the near future. Dr. Chang's staff members- Lisa, Niloo, Jerri, and Kellie- are all warm, inviting, and knowledgeable. It's always a pleasure to interact with them. I chose Dr. Chang not only because she's one of the best surgeons in San Francisco, but also because she's a woman in a field dominated by men. I'm so happy that I could support this team of kind, intelligent, and hard-working women. Thank you for giving me my confidence back!
