    They're very focused on selling you surgery as the solution for sinus problems. It's extremely…read moredifficult to get anyone to call you back and they don't answer their main phone line. Getting information about the risks of surgery took weeks of calling and they acted suprised and put out that I would want to know before I decided on surgery. They wanted me to just schedule the surgery, pay the initial fee, then on the day of my surgery they would "give me the paperwork" that explained the risks? How are you supposed to make an informed decision on whether you even want surgery? The office is constantly running late and overbooked. Your appointment will never start anywhere near on time. Doctors run back and forth between patients during your appointment, leaving you sitting around alone in an exam room for no reason. Once they have your money and you're done with the surgery, they ghost you if you end up with problems from it. My surgery caused more problems than it solved. I wish I'd never done it. On top of all that, half of their front office staff is bitchy and unprofessional, like incompetent teenage mean girls.

    I had my first appointment with this office today. They were helpful, very friendly, and…read moreprofessional. Jeff Robin, the PA I was assigned to see, was excellent.

    A great place to get an honest opinion on your plastic surgery desires. Dr. Marosan is a…read moreboard-certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience and specialized training in plastic and aesthetic surgery. This puts him in a class above most "plastic surgeons" in the greater Seattle area who lack plastic surgery training and specialization in this field. I have personally seen many examples of his fine work and experienced it firsthand. Dr. Marosan is not the surgeon to see if you have unrealistic budget allowances or expectations.

    I had gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Marosan about two years ago, and it's something I deeply…read moreregret. This was a procedure I'd been saving and planning for over many years. I chose Dr. Marosan because he was supposed to be one of the best. He charged top-tier prices (around $9,000), and I thought paying a premium meant getting exceptional care and results. Instead, I was tricked by flashy marketing and walked away feeling completely deceived, and quite honestly traumatized and in a worst state then when I went in. The surgery was supposed to be straightforward, yet I ended up with a crater deformity on one side and visible scars around my areolas -- which were promised to be "virtually invisible." The consultations were cold and rushed, with little sense of genuine care or connection. The before-and-after photos on his website are also very deceiving. They're taken in different rooms with different lighting, and the after photos are in a cold room, making the nipples hard so results look tighter than they really are. It's misleading marketing, plain and simple. I felt like I was just used the entire process to help promote their business. After surgery, I was still completely out of it from anesthesia.The staff wheeled me straight out to my girlfriend's car and pretty much dumped me into the passenger seat. I came-to halfway home. I had no idea where I was and just started to cry b/c I was so frightened (and probably b/c of what my subconscious just witnessed happening). Two weeks later, I noticed a crease forming in my right areola. When I brought it up, I was told by Dr. Marosan to "rub Aquaphor on it." That was the only advice given. A year later, nothing had improved. Too much tissue had been aggressively removed, leaving an uneven, sunken appearance on one side. The scars were still VERY obvious. All of this from a simple procedure. I am not overweight and did not need a massive amount of work done - just the glands removed behind my areola due to adolescent gyno. To make things worse, I discovered my before-and-after photos on his website with a fabricated story claiming I was thrilled with the results. None of that was true. They used decieving before and after photos invented a completely bs narrative about my experience (maybe they're allowed to do that considering I signed everything w/o reading the small print). But I'm allowed to write an honest review about my side of the story here and I hope people read this! So much of my experience at this clinic was straight up unethical. I tried multiple times to reach out. emails, voicemails, phone calls, and got no response. The one time someone picked up, I was told he was "out of town," and the call ended there. No follow-up, no accountability, no care. All of this for $9,000 for a simple procedure from a 'master, experienced plastic surgeon who has done 1000s of these surgeries'. I really expected a simple outcome. Instead, I got deformity, neglect, and silence. I'm sharing this so others know what I wish I had known: the marketing and promises do not match the experience. This clinic's approach felt careless, misleading, and unethical. For any men considering surgery here for gynecomastia, feel free to reach out by responding to my review.

    This journey began many years ago. I did tons of research and had many consults with other centers,…read morebut none of them compelled me to follow through. And then I researched Egrari and I'm so happy I did! My consultation was initially scheduled for November 2022, but as luck would have it, a cancellation came through and I was able to get in a few months earlier. Dr Egrari answered all my questions, made me feel comfortable, and was extremely knowledgeable. I made the decision right then and there to move forward with scheduling a surgery date. And yes, the wait is long, but IT IS WORTH IT! (I will say, I used the time to workout to strengthen my arms and legs and stay up on supplements in hopes to help with healing.) During that wait time they were communicative and provided me with information to help prepare me for surgery, and weeks prior to surgery, they walked me through, in great detail, what to expect. They were attentive and put my mind at ease. I am nearly 2 weeks post op (tummy tuck, lipo of flanks and inner thighs), and I can already tell that this girl is gonna look snatched (for those that don't know, that's a great thing)! I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the care and attentiveness I have been given throughout this journey and am excited for when I'm fully healed. Big thank you to Dr Egrari, Elle, Ariel, Madeline, Justine, Catherine and all the other wonderful humans that I've engaged with during this time.

    I had an arm lift by Dr. Egrari several months ago. I will start by saying his before and after…read morecare is amazing with great nurses that walk you through everything. During my consultation Dr. Egrari he told me he would also do liposuction (paying for it) to remove some extra fat from my arms but when I asked his nurses after surgery if liposuction had been done they told me it hadn't. My results were not anywhere near what I expected/desired. I was left with approximately two inches of loose/jiggly skin and my "after" looked like someone's " before photo." I was obviously very disappointed and upset after the money spent and the painful recovery. I discussed this with Dr. Egrari during my follow-up appointment. He basically gas lit me saying the results were proportionate to my body and that my arms looked better than before. When I lifted my arms and showed him the excess skin jiggling like a bat wing, he told me that even twelve year old's have arm jiggle. If Dr. Egrari would have validated my disappointment and acknowledged that the results weren't optimal I would have continued to have trust in him knowing this could potentially happen. Unfortunately, this didn't happen. He did tell me that we could meet in 6 months and if I was still unhappy we could discuss my options to see if I still felt I needed it, but doubling down that he stands by his opinion that my results were optimal. I'm not sure how extra time would solve anything, like in 6 months my arms would miraculously tighten up and the fat would disappear. I flew out of state to get a second opinion from a highly respected surgeon who told me that I had well over two inches of loose skin that still needed to be removed along with some additional fat that required liposuction. He also said as time went on the sagging would get even worse. I'm very upset that I have to pay for another surgery and start all over. While I believe Dr. Egrari does some things right (runs a safe practice with great before and after care) I believe his surgical approach is far too conservative resulting in a disappointing outcome.

This cost me a day's wages, a quarter tank of gas, and a $55 copay. Dr. Bremjit warned me about doctors who do services solely for the income. So what was this if not a scam.

It was a 5 min appt , with basically no solid answer to a condition that does not just fix itself. He left the room, and sat on his desk , in the hallway, charting about me out loud without telling me I was good to go. Treatment room door open and my MRI images open on the computer. I wa sjust sitting there. Left me hanging in the room. Terrible bed side manners, which is typical with orthos , and I did not overthink it because I was interested on the answeres rather his bed side manners.. But they do matter, they tell you a lot about how a person cares. He just seems careless, like talking to a robot. I don't deserve to be treated like that. I had wrist pain/issues from intraosseous ganglion cyst, devastating desabling pain. Instead of referring me out to a specialist who could do what Dr Weil does not know how to do? just made me wonder around for 4-6 months. The second remote phone call, sounded like he did not do a chart review and had me take new images all over again. Third remote call , he did not even call. I waited 50 minutes , and called them myself, to be told he would not make it to the call and that I would have to reschedule again in a month. Big skip, I wish I never found him online. What a waste of money , time and energy.
