When I rolled into Anchorage in desperate need of a bikini wax I decided to track down my previous…read moreesthetician, Kelly, who did an amazing job when she was over at Sona Vita Day Spa. When I called over there I was informed that she had moved to Dr. Sedwick's office. Yes, this woman is that amazing that I actually had to track her down and make an appointment with her at Dr. Sedwick's office. Well, it was worth it. First of all, Kelly is hilarious. She is funny and witty and will keep you completely entertained the entire time that you are in her office. Secondly - She is thorough and obsessed with sanitation. She does not double dip her sticks. Third - Out of all the waxers I have ever been to (and there have been a lot) Kelly's technique is the least painful. She uses a type of wax that takes longer to setup, but pulls more hairs out so you don't have to go over the same area as many times. If I seem a bit too enthusiastic over waxing, then you have never had a bad brazilian! The only downside is the price tag. Kelly charges $65 for a Brazilian and $15 for eyebrows. If you are going for quality then it is worth it, but it still hurts the wallet! Kelly also offers tons of other medical esthetician services. I am looking into their various laser treatments that she offers.

Kelly Whitworth rocks as an esthetician. I would follow her anywhere. When you find someone that…read moredoes the job she does (very, very picky about the quality of her work - and if you've gotten not so great esthetic services, you know what I mean)! Not only can she tell you anything you want to know about skin, she is incredibly nice and makes you very comfortable. I'd never had the service I went in for the first time I saw her and was VERY nervous about it. By the end I felt like we were longtime friends. Oh and she left the med office listed here and is at Avante Medical.

I cannot say enough good things about this clinic and the care I received. After years of going to…read moreanother ENT clinic that was later sold and renamed, I spent nearly two frustrating years being given the runaround with no real answers or solutions for my condition. That all changed the moment I met Valerie. Within just one hour of my first visit, she took the time to truly listen, thoroughly evaluate my situation, and accurately diagnose the severity of what I've been dealing with. For the first time, I felt heard and taken seriously. While my previous doctor told me there was nothing that could be done, Valerie immediately took action. She has already scheduled me for a tonsil removal in the next 30 days to address the recurring infections and strep throat I've suffered through--three times in the past 11 months. On top of that, she identified additional concerns, referred me to the appropriate specialists for my GERD, and put me on a clear path toward real healing. For years, I've lived with constant pain, discomfort, and vocal cord damage that has affected my ability to speak and function normally. In just one visit, Valerie and her team gave me hope, direction, and a plan. The level of care, professionalism, and compassion I experienced here is truly exceptional. I was taken care of from day one, and it's clear this team genuinely cares about their patients. If you're looking for real answers and providers who will actually take the time to help you--this is the place to go. Highly, highly recommend.

I'm not sure where to put the star rating. I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars, which is never an easy…read morechoice IMO. Today was disappointing... not so much about the level of care but based on when I called originally a few weeks ago to see if they treat a specific condition, I was told they do and have a few patients. Well, it turns out in less than 10 minutes, I'm told by the doctor that nothing can be done for me. That was extremely disappointing, it wasted money, a couple hours of my day to take time off work, drive into town and so on. It would be much better for the staff to know that something specific can't be treated rather than waste time for all parties, money and dash hope. As for everything else, check-in was prompt and I was taken back shortly after my scheduled appointment. The young man asking me questions didn't understand what I was being seen for and admittedly said he didn't know what to ask me. I didn't take offense, it's fairly rare. The doctor came in quickly, we spoke for a few minutes, mostly telling me things I already knew and unfortunately he told me there was nothing that could be done and I made my way to check out. I imagine their care is perfectly acceptable, as my previous ENT recommended I contact them, but as I said... it ended up being disappointing all around.

It has been 7 years now and I still have perfect vision. No glasses, no contacts--I'm in heaven! The procedure itself was fast (less than 30 seconds per eye) and the staff was incredibly competent and nice. I think they could tell I was nervous (who wouldn't be?!) because they made sure I was very comfortable and explained the whole process over and over again.
