Lisa was my technician the first few times I got the laser hair removal. Went perfectly each time (obviously slightly painful, but understandably). I really liked her and was seeing progress. On what became my last visit there, I had a new technician (I think her last name is Greene?). It was EXTREMELY painful and I kept her updated throughout. She seemed shocked that it hurt and was lowering the levels little by little but it was NOT helping. I was not on any special medications or anything out of the ordinary. She was also not shocked to see my skin reaction... told me to put some aloe, don't take hot shower, refrain from intense exercise, nothing out of the usual. Now, I have done laser hair removal treatments (legs, armpits, upper lip) many different times at different places. I know how it works. I have NEVER experienced such pain and reaction. Please see photos for post treatment and the scars it has left. I have contacted them a few weeks after with pictures of the scars and talked on the phone to the technician who treated me, but she only said that sometimes we have different reactions and maybe my body was just more sensitive that day. I've had great previous experiences there, so the review is based on that one treatment. I think it's understandable because I still have a scar a year and 5 months later.

Dr king is the very BEST OF THE BEST! Bar none. She has a very sweet bedside manner and at the…read moresame time is at the top of her game...she is very knowledgeable! And in record time! Needless to say, I highly recommend her and will definitely return as needed! Her staff is equally kind and professional. If you are looking for a wonderful Dr., experience...all of the above, then don't hesitate, make the call!! You will so be so glad that you did! :) THANKS SO MUCH, Dr. King!!!!

I read the reviews beforehand and wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, but unfortunately my…read moreexperience was very disappointing. I came prepared with a detailed written timeline, progression photos, product history, and prior testing results in hopes of making the appointment as productive and efficient as possible. Despite this, the visit felt extremely brief and I was quickly told I needed to seek care elsewhere without much discussion of potential next steps, differential diagnoses, or interim treatment options. My photos and prior patch testing results were not meaningfully reviewed. What upset me most was the delivery and bedside manner. Difficult or complex cases sometimes do require referral to larger centers, and I understand that. However, I left feeling dismissed rather than supported. At one point, while I was still reclined and partially undressed from the exam, I was essentially being told there was nothing further she would do to help me locally. When I became visibly upset during the appointment, she responded by asking, "What do you want me to do?" At that point, I did not feel guided, heard, or cared for as a patient dealing with an ongoing and distressing condition. The referral process itself also felt inconsistent and confusing. The seriousness of my case was emphasized by comparing the referral to a primary care physician sending someone to oncology. However, when I asked how to actually pursue the referral, I was simply told there was a 1-800 number and that "there are commercials for it all the time, and it's only 4 hours from here." That contrast made the interaction feel dismissive rather than coordinated or supportive. I left the appointment angry, emotional, and defeated. Patients dealing with chronic visible skin conditions are often already vulnerable, and compassion and communication matter just as much as medical expertise.
