My facial and abstraction with Aliza today was nothing short of amazing!Although I was in a stressful place because of my (face)breakout, Aliza comforted me. With her skin care knowledge and expertise I left the office feeling more confident and with a better understanding of why my skin was being so fussy! I could really go on and on! But I'll save it for my next appointment which I happily scheduled for two weeks! Also super thanks to Dr. Trupin who popped in to assess and gave her medical advice! No pressure just much needed support! I'm grateful to add them to my skin care team, because honey I needed it!!

I reached out to the salon directly to let them know what happened so it could be addressed and other's wouldn't have the same experience. The management blamed me the first time, and after I posted the review, she texted my private number and stated again that it was all because of the length of the hair. As you can see in the article screenshot, bruising is caused by poor technique. I've also had dozens of waxes at this point so I am well aware of how my skin reacts. Unfortunately, the service took 40 minutes and was also the most painful waxing I have experienced. The wax seemed like it was very difficult for the esthetician to remove. At one point, the esthetician used hard wax to remove more hard wax. Multiple times the stick got unstuck and she had to place another one on, or she just pulled too early. While the esthetician herself was a truly lovely person and a pleasure to talk to, I strongly advise not getting this service.

He said he wouldn't do that procedure without also doing a breast lift. He claimed it would be painless and I could go out to dinner the same night. He also claimed that the implants could stay in for over 20yrs. He insisted on silicone and said it was perfectly safe. All were red flags. I thought he'd give me an idea of implant size but I was left alone in a room with implant inserts to try on. I wanted input because I didn't know how big would be too big with the lift. All he had said is you'll regret not going big and then left. It seems like a bigger implant could cause stress on the lift stitches. Then the sales lady came in with paperwork insisting that I sign the contract. That's when I gave up and left. I'm so glad I did, this is not the doctor I want when making a big decision. I never saw him again or heard from his office.

I wish I could leave zero stars. The absolute worst, and one of the most traumatizing experiences…read moreI've ever gone through in my life. I went in for a breast augmentation consultation, and from the jump Dr. Kurley gave off bad vibes; stereotypically arrogant, rude, cocky air about him. Condescending, and wouldn't let me ask questions. He also freaked out in the middle of the consult and asked me if I had a hidden recording device...all of this and I still ended up letting him do surgery on me. Right before going in for surgery, I explained to him that I was concerned the implants were not the right volume for me; he disregarded my concern and more or less said he knows better than me, and I woke up depressed and extremely disappointed. I started crying to the nurse, who then brought Dr. Kurley back in, who sat in front of me and belittled me and told me I was wrong for feeling upset, and then started rattling off his credentials, almost bragging to me about what an amazing Dr he is. All the while I am still waking up from the anesthesia, horrified, and asked the nurse (whom I later discovered is Dr Kurley's WIFE), to have him leave the room. He also made several comments about how it is women's fault for not being better patients and coming back to his practice to "fix issues." This was hands down the worst outcome/experience possible for me. I wanted to have this done right the first time, now I'm going to have to pay more money to have a better Dr do it again, not to mention have to go under anesthesia and through surgery AGAIN. P.S. I was texting my boyfriend the whole time describing each creepy room I entered so they would know where to find me if something happened...the office was by far the weirdest, creepiest office and so unprofessional. It looked like a room you'd take the SATs in in the '90s.

It's been a few years since my cosmetic surgery, so I finally feel I can talk abotu it…read more I originally went to another cosmetic surgery place in champaign, but checked out Dr. Castillo's office as well. If I remember correctly, Dr. Castillo was a little bit less expensive, so I went with him. I should have known better, because when I was looking through some beofre and after photos, he came into the room and was quite blunt that I didn't need to be looking some of the pictures ( of procedures I was not having). His bedside manner turned me off... should have been a clue. I had really droopy eyelids, so when he came in to the pre-op room and draw on my eyelids ( I guess to see where he had to operate), he had me clse my eyes, but I took it upon myself to raise my lids, thinking THAT would insure he took enough eyelid skin off. When I woke up from the surgery, I hurt! Drains behind my ears, etc. But the worst thing is that my eyelid on my right eye sticks to my eye. I sometimes have to take my finger and raise my eyelid just to get it detached from my eye. And that eye burns a lot! My eyes are no longer symmetrical. ONe is rounder than the other. You would think a surgeon would have noticed that I did not have my eyes closed correctly when he was marking them up. Yes, it is my fault for doing that, but there's a little bit of responsibility on the surgeon's part, too, wouldn't you think? I also have a very visible scar across my hairline. They had told me about it, but I didnt think it would be a big deal. Well, THAT is until your hair turns white and thins out..... NOW it is extremely visible. I certainly wish I would have stayed with my first surgeon. At least he seemed to be a lot more caring, and I am almost sure I would have had better results. This guy is not worthy of even ONE star!

I recently had a rhinoplasty at this location with Dr. Castillo in January 2019 and I could not…read moreunderstate how swiftly, and effortlessly, the process went. I had great results almost instantly, despite the fact that my nose is still a bit swollen and I won't be able to see the final result for a year. I had everything I'd asked for and that we discussed accomplished and that was my primary hope and goal for this process. Beyond this, I had three additional goals: to find a highly knowledgeable doctor with years of experience, one with a professional staff, and a doctor expert enough to have the surgery as painless as possible (highly important for me, because I have a low pain tolerance). Dr. Castillo met all my expectations, and beyond. My Surgery Journey: Before Surgery (2 years or so ago): I was researching more permanent fixes for the lack of bridge in my nose (I am African-American, female, and it's common for African-Americans/Asians/etc) and I had twice gotten non-surgical procedures with Dr. Castillo just to lengthen my nose and try out the look without anything permanent. I really enjoyed those results and how well he did them, so when it came time to choose a more permanent result, a rhinoplasty, I stuck with Dr. Castillo because I knew he had the experience and ability to give me the results I wanted. Also, his staff was incredibly kind and flexible, which was a bonus. Day of Surgery (January 2019): I arrived for my surgery and was instantly put at ease with how well the anesthesiologist inserted the IV painlessly (again, I have a very low pain tolerance) and how friendly and competent he was. By the time everything settled in, I expected to wake up with pain and immense discomfort because I had had an implant inserted in my nose. (No visible cuts or scars, at all!) Post-Surgery: By the time I woke up, I was completely without pain. I didn't even need to take Tylenol, Ibuprofen, or Advil even once during my recovery. On a pain-level it was a 0. The only discomfort was having to breathe through my nose, needing to stay home during recovery, and not being able to wash my hair and face as of yet, which is to be expected and highly doable for the week. I drove 3 hours to have Dr. Castillo as my doctor and it was well worth the trip and finances. I highly recommend him for rhinoplasty, it is painless, highly doable, and with a very professional staff.
