This review is ONLY for this Doctor for Botox. I am not familiar with this doctor's other medical work.
Don't fall for the cheap Botox offer this doctor offers on all the sites. As soon as you arrive (and not on the phone when you make your appointment) do they tell you that they actually don't have any Botox in the office. They only have the 2 competitor products. That should be specified on their online advertisements! I probably should have left at this point right when they told me.
The office staff is very nice and efficient. That's the most positive comment I have for this experience. Just FYI: They don't offer coffee or snacks in their office, like most other botox doctors do. No big deal, just so you know.
This doctor reminds me of one of those guys who took a weekend course in botox and is now making some extra cash shooting all kinds of cosmetic things. He is perhaps a surgeon, and probably really good in his ophthalmology specialty, but he is not great for botox shots. I would not let him touch my face ever again.
I very recently relocated to Dallas and was looking forward to finding a regular doctor, but this guy won't be it. I've shot botox longer than I care to admit. I have been shot by nurse practitioners, dentists, plastic surgeon and general surgeons. I reveal that so you know that this was not my first time and I am not inexperienced in getting shots at all.
I have never in my life bled as much or bruised as much as after this session of shots. Some of the injection spots became such big swollen bruises, it almost looked like I bumped my head on a wall! This has never happened before! I don't know if he uses the wrong needles or jabs on the wrong angle, I just know that this has never, ever happened to me before.
Several days later, I still had a bruised forehead with irregular welts which were very tender and swollen at several of the injections spots. I used to be able to meet friends for lunch or go to work meetings right after botox all the previous times I received shots. This guy is doing something wrong and I honestly do not know what it is. I had to cancel all my meetings after this appointment.
A great botox doctor, also LISTENS to his patient's requests. They need an artistic eye to know exactly how much to shoot and where. I asked for conservative shots and I want to retain some movement in my face. Well, he shot me absolutely DEAD. I can't move my face AT ALL. Horrible doctor who doesn't know how much to shoot to get the desired results. Or shoots extra to make more money? I don't know.
During the consultation you will discuss what you need and where - standard procedure. This guy, however, halfway through the shots, then suddenly said I need more than he had thought and he isn't done shooting all your "trouble spots." I've never had a doctor misjudge the shots this way. Why did he needs extra shots? Here's what happened: In-between the little injections, I could actually feel the liquid of the injection run over my skin or down my face. So, he drips half the stuff over your skin, and then bills you more? Stop wasting the stuff and you wouldn't need to bill me more! I know how many units I usually get and this was the absolute largest amount of units anybody, ever, used on me, by far!! Absolutely ridiculous. And I know all those units are not into my muscles, but dripped down my face!
My face looked like a swarm of bees attacked me. When I asked for an ice pack (or similar) I was told I can just "go home and put ice in a zip lock bag myself." Who shoots botox and don't have ice packs in their office?! Amateur hour.
Also, and this is minor - but they don't validate your parking. It is $2 people! Get with the program. After we spend all that over-charged money on botox and even survive through that labyrinth of a parking lot with the worst traffic, you can validate $2!
I don't know this doctor's actual medical work but I would not recommended him for "botox" no matter how cheap. He is an amateur. read more
