I have been seeing Randi for laser hair removal for a few months and am very happy with the office and my results. I go to the Hinsdale location and have had nothing but positive things to say. I would highly recommend and will be going back for more. read more

I was looking for liposuction, I had never had plastic surgery before and I had made a consultation appointment with 4 different doctors here in Chicago. I immediately felt comfortable with Marilyn who showed me around the office and answered any questions I had. Then I met Dr. Geldner, he was open and honest about Lipo and how it wasn't a weight loss procedure, it was for contour and overall aesthetics of my body and for the best results it was my duty to eat healthy and exercise before and after the procedure. He was very blunt, but I liked that about him, I had other doctors just tell me what I wanted to hear. I knew I needed a lifestyle change, not just a quick fix. I put down my deposit and scheduled my surgery date for a couple weeks later. My Pre-op he took pictures and we went over what I wanted to have done. I left my appointment feeling very comfortable and confident in my decision to choose Dr. Geldner. I showed up to the surgical center nervous and scared as I had never had a major surgery before. Dr. Geldner came in to my room before and sat with me for about 10-15 minutes and talked with me, told me stories, comforted me and answered any last minute questions. He had great bedside manner and really put all of my anxiety to rest. I am grateful for that. My surgery went as planned, I had about 5 liters taken out. I had my abdomen, flanks, upper bra area and upper arms done (a lot). I went home an hour or 2 after surgery and was wrapped in my compression garment. Typical drainage and soreness. My post-op was 2 days after and Lynn at the office was wonderful. When they removed the bandages, compression garment and foam I almost passed out (which happens due to blood pressure dropping) she immediately laid me down and gave me ice packs and really comforted me as I had came to my appointment alone and had no one there. She was amazing. Dr. Geldner came in and said everything went great with surgery, checked me out and said everything looked good so far. He made sure I felt okay and was following the recovery process strictly. Before I left Lynn made sure I was feeling 100% okay and walked me out. My next follow up appointment is in 2 weeks and will update my review with my results. I am extremely pleased with my decision to go with the Geldner Center and highly recommend them for liposuction. They truly care about you as a patient and as a person. read more

I just saw Lynn, a nurse injector with the Geldner Center. Lynn as always exceeds expectations! She always has a smile for everyone. Her skills as an injector are excellent. I will always ask for Lynn! read more

I love Dr Geldner! I will be making a trip back home to see him again! Very good work and I wouldn't trust anyone else!

Was recommended by a friend to see Lynn for Botox and I couldn't be happier. Lynn is very personable with a great relaxing vibe. She actually makes the whole needles-in-your face process fun. Most importantly, she obviously is very experienced in placement. I've had Botox on numerous occasions with too much in the wrong areas and ended up looking like an angry baby eagle for 6 - 8 weeks. Yikes, right ladies?!? When I saw Lynn she expertly knew exactly how (little?) much was needed where and the results are always perfect and natural. I look like me 7 years ago. THANK YOU. That's what I wanted. On the cost, the ongoing deal for 40 units for $400 is a steal for the quality. The best part is you are able to 'bank' the balance. I normally do a quick 20-23 units and then a refresh with remaining units 4-6 months later depending on what's going with me. Headaches? Meh. Very, very light about a week in. Never anything an Advil doesn't take care of and certainly not as severe as stories I've heard. Office is in the 680 LSD building with easy parking. Lynn let me know that if you grab something ($10) from Trader Joe's parking is free. And who doesn't want a bottle of wine after botox? I am very happy I was recommended to Lynn at the Geldner Center. Finally found what I was looking for and can't imagine considering anyone else! read more

I am so happy I found Rachel Kwall! She has changed my skin care routine and my skin now looks flawless. She is also wonderful at laser hair removal and I highly recommend her! She's the best in the biz!! #lifechanging Thank you Rachel! read more

Amazing place. I decided to write a review after reading Justin M's review. I went for a consultation that was for something insurance related and my insurance company was billed and I did have to pay my co-pay. In fact that was in the paper work I had to fill out. Like with any other Doctor's office Justin, if you want to be seen for something for insurance, it's actually illegal for them NOT to bill your insurance company. Soooo... my experience was fantastic with Dr. G and the entire staff. I never felt that they were anything above board. Even when I called to make the appointment they asked me if the reason I wanted to be seen was for insurance or cosmetic. They told me up front my insurance would be billed if I was seen for something I wanted covered by insurance. I was also told that if I wanted to be seen for something cosmetic that there was no consultation fee. I hate when people ignore the facts and just complain. The Geldner Center is a great place and Justin M...get your facts straight before you say someone was "steal"ing your money! read more

If i could give them 0 stars I would. I went to total 12 (every 3 weeks) laser bikini hair removal treatments without brake. Over this summer i took a little break for a month ( I wanted to enjoy the sun) and all of the hair came back. During the treatments I would get some bald parts but their system is just like waxing. You need to go constantly to have same feel like waxing! Do not waste your money!!! My friend went to a different place and after only 6 treatments hardly has any hair left and its been a year now and same results. It seemed to be working while Alex was working there but Monica that came would hardly touch my skin with laser and make huge spaces. Alex would press strong and go step by step. I only saw some results (bald spots here and there) with Alex but after Monica everything started coming back. She told me it was hair that will eventually fall out! Waste of money if you do the math!!! 12 sesions with $130 per session and tip on top of that thats $1800 for nothing! Waste of my time and money!!! It is just so simple- they use low setting to trick you to think it is working but after a month everything come back!!! Scammers!!! Read the reviews and wonder why good reviews only have one review and it's for them???!!! read more

I had a glycolic peel two weeks ago at the Hinsdale Location by the Esthetician Mihaela, She was very professional and informative about my skin. The appointment was like a spa treatment.. My skin looked radiant and firm immediately. I have a second appointment for a glycolic peel with Mihaela next week. I have had many face treatments and facials over the year and rate this experience at the top of my list.. read more

I had a wonderful experience when I went to The Geldner Center for a facial. Anna, at the front desk was friendly and welcoming. Alex, did my facial, and she was great and very professional. Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend this office for a facial. read more

I had a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation around Christmas this year. I was able to go back to work 10 days later with no bruises!!!! I am SOOOOOOOO happy with my results from Dr. Geldner. He is the best plastic surgeon in Chicago! I am a more confident and better version of myself. He is truly an artist and will definitely go back to him if I ever want something else done! He made my nose and breast look so natural! I 100% recommend Dr. Geldner to anyone. Worth the money! read more

My experience at The Geldner Center was nothing short of amazing! I visited Rachel for her skin care expertise. I struggled with terrible acne for several years and once I saw her she turned that around! She knew exactly what I needed; the skin care regimen and peel she recommended for me gave me clear skin and confidence again. I recommend seeing Rachel for all your skin care needs! Thank you Rachel! read more

Very professional and clean environment. Stopped by for laser hair removal and was really ahppy with the service. Their prices are also reasonable. Thx. They also have a location in chicago but i havent visited that location. read more

I have been going here for Botox and fillers for years. By all means book an appointment with Ms. Lynn Hollins. She is an expert in the field of injections. You will not be disappointed. read more

I had been considering getting lip fillers for a while and when I saw the Geldner Center was running a "lips and lashes" event at discounted prices, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to finally get them done. I was able to get the last appointment of the day with Lynn. I was a little nervous about the procedure but Lynn made me feel very comfortable. She was very thorough in explaining the process and her suggestions on areas we should enhance. The procedure was quick and a little uncomfortable, but not nearly as painful as I imagined it would be, and I have a very low pain tolerance. It is day 3 and my lips are still pretty swollen and bruised, but overall I am really happy with my results. I would definitely come back to the Geldner Center and 100% recommend Lynn. The reception staff are also really pleasant and accommodating! read more

Rachel is amazing, I wouldn't go to anyone else! She's professional, friendly, and dedicated to her patients. I've recommended her to many friends and colleagues. She's the best! read more

I have never done a review on yelp but I am writing one today because that is how incredible Lynn is at The Geldner Center. I have been going to her for over 2 years now and she is such a bright light who is very good at her job. I go for botox and fillers and she has the magic touch to make you look SO fresh but also natural. I trust her judgement completely and you can ask her for advice on what you should do-and she will always be honest with you. She isn't going to try and squeeze more money out of you as she truly cares about her patients and wants them to look their best. I have referred many friends to Lynn and she is now someone I consider a friend! read more

NIce facility, but it's really hard to make an appointment. You have to book it with the aesthetician, who is always in session, so you have to wait for a call back, and then call back, and then leave a message. Really annoying. I'm not going to go back to this place for that reason. read more

Dr. Geldner is the best in the city, hands down. I met with numerous plastic surgeons over the summer when researching my options. Dr. Geldner is honest, upfront, thorough, compassionate and friendly -- more than any other doctor I met. Once I decided on my surgery, I was completely at ease in his care and confident in my decision. He did a great job on my surgery and was available for me when I needed him. My results have been nothing short of fantastic. Also, his staff is very friendly and informative and his office is very comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone considering plactic surgery. read more

I did not have a good experience in this office. The staff made it very difficult to schedule an appointment. When I arrived on time I was not told I would have to wait 1 full hour before the Dr would see me. Actually, he never did, I walked out after one hour of waiting. The office manager called to apologize and said I waited 10 minutes! I felt it is a reflection of how this guy views patients and their time. I would not recommend. read more

Highly unethical business. I was charged $450 (to my insurance) without my knowledge or agreement. I went in for an initial discussion regarding their services and they had the audacity to charge me $450 for their sales pitch! Avoid this unethical business at all costs. read more

I agree with the previous two comments which sum my experience with, Dr. Geldner: "Stay away from this place." And, "I felt worse after I had left." Below, is the what had transpired during my visit, which confirm the opinions of the two patients who also shared an unpleasant experience with, Dr. Geldner. In searching for a free consult, I stumbled across the name of, Dr. Peter Geldner. Upon my meeting with Dr. Geldner, he remarked twice in the beginning of our conversation, "Such a soft voice. That's a lovely thing." However, my impression of Dr. Geldner, as being a pleasant person, soon changed as my consultation progressed. Although each of my queries were presented in the politest fashion, nearly all of my queries were met with derision and disdain. Dr. Geldner, sarcastically responded to one of my queries by saying, "Seriously, do you think any other physician would answer otherwise to that question?" Then he lifted his brows questioningly, as though to say, "That was a stupid question." At one point, Dr. Geldner, before I could complete my question, loudly interrupted and loudly retorted, repeatedly, " I never said that! Yes, but I don't use that! I don't use that! That's why I don't use that! " Then, he let out a long sigh. These remarks had been made in response to my queries concerning a liposuction method. In mentioning scars and presenting pictures, Dr. Geldner, became even more cross, saying he that did not know what the outcome of my potential surgery would bring me. I finally stopped asking my queries, as Dr. Geldner acted as though he was on trial, or enduring a painful interrogation. I was thoroughly embarrassed, shocked and mortified by Dr. Geldner's treatment of me. What is ironic is that, I had presented the same queries to several previous doctors, "Not one," of whom became upset in any way with me, for wishing to be educated and informed about this dramatic life changing, plastic surgical procedure. Indeed, what was the purpose of a free consult, if not to become educated, enlightened and informed??? Ironically, too, Dr. Geldner has brochures around his office which state that Dr. Geldner, takes the time to listen to his patients. And most ironically, Dr. Geldner's assistant, before I had left, said to contact her regarding every and any question that I should have, saying, "Really, call to ask me anything. There are no stupid questions." And, amazingly, to date, I have received five voice mail messages from this person, Dr. Geldner's assistant, Agnieszka. In her first voicemail, Agnieszka asked if I was ready to schedule my surgery!! In her latter four voicemails, Agnieszka requested that I return her phone call. What audacity and what persistence! I will not be needing this office, though, for anything. As Dr. Geldner, was above answering my pertinent inquiries, what was the purpose in the offer of a free consult? Dr. Geldner's behavior, was most disgraceful, unkind, and thoroughly unacceptable. And that's putting it "mildly." However, I do thank you, Dr. Geldner, for the free consult, for not holding back, and for showing me your True Colors. I have the prudence to "Not" choose you. read more

My first experience with the Geldner Center was for a facial, and it was a wonderful experience, from start to finish. I saw Alex for my facial, and I would recommend her very highly, she is fantastic. I have fairly sensitive skin, but Alex knew just how to treat it, and gave me some great tips going forward. My skin was glowing :) I will definitely be back! read more

Very unhappy with a first visit there. We live about 10-12 minutes away from the Hinsdale Geldner Center. My mom left home with a margin of more than 40 minutes. GPS led her to the wrong location. When I gpsed the office, I also got a similar wrong address. She kept calling the office in order to get some instructions as to where to go yet she received no response. Regardless she arrived a couple minutes late to her 8 am appointment. Mind this my mom is a very busy woman and handles multiple appointments on a daily basis. When she arrived, staff refused to accept her and made her reschedule. Staff never answered the phone, didn't accommodate her in any way, and refused to provide service. Time is very valuable. If they had answered their phone, my mom would have made it with time to spare at their office and wouldn't have wasted precious time. This is not a good first impression Geldner Center Hinsdale. I'll make sure to spread the message. read more

My greatest thanks to Dr. Geldner and his team! I had, what I would call an emergency, a deflated 15 year old saline breast implant. Luckily I work in an industry where I deal with a lot of female clients that have high praises for Dr. Geldner. I tripped during a marathon training run and hit the pavement hard enough to break a breast implant. I didn't know what to do and was scared! I remembered Dr. Geldner's name in my state of panic and called his after hours answering service. I received a call back within 5 minutes by Dr. Geldner. I was shocked because I was not a patient of his and did not expect that type of response. He was able to calm me down and met me at his office that afternoon after he finished a full day of surgeries. WOW! He is a very caring person and I immediately felt comfortable around him. I met Dr. Geldner, in a state of panic, on a Friday and was squeezed in on the following Tuesday for my surgery. I do not react well to anesthesia and have not had surgery in 15 years because of how sick i get. Needless to say I was afraid to have my implants removed and replaced. Dr. Geldner assured me he would do whatever he could, along with his amazing anesthesiologist, to make sure I would not wake up sick. I woke up feeling great! I am one month post op and have had 3 follow up appointments with no complications. I am sharing my story in hopes of helping anyone in need of a great doctor. My breasts look and feel very natural. Thank you Dr. Geldner. Thank you to the staff at The Geldner Center and the surgery center. read more

Truly insensitive when dealing with a nervous young patient. Sarcastic snide responses to good questions, leaving this patient feeling very uneasy about this doctor's bedside manors. No thank you 100 times. read more

I always feel welcomed and comfortable at the Geldner center. Rachel is the best! Ask for her for hair removal or facials.

I have known Dr. G for almost 20 years. I have had lipo, breast augmentation, and injectable fillers. I had to change my recommendation because I have noticed that no matter what time I schedule an appointment , I have to wait over an hour. Even if he was busy, maybe they should not double and triple book patients. That's just proper business practice. I finally decided that maybe he does not value me as a patient. I think his work is ok, but I would not go to him for liposuction. read more

I would give this place 5 stars - easily. The only reason I docked 4 stars is because I arrive 5 minutes before my appointment but I end up waiting 15-20 to be seen. They really need to see clients at their scheduled time. read more

I will update more when I have time. I have to agree with this past yelper COMEPLETELY! "I went to Dr. Iteld for injectables several times. He is a wonderful doctor - very skilled and reassuring. Because of my good experiences with him, I decided to go with the Geldner Center for a recent surgery. The results are wonderful, but I was overcharged by the surgical center by a significant amount. I was strongarmed into paying more than I had been quoted by the surgical center on the day of surgery - it was either pay or don't get the surgery. I had already taken time off work for the procedure, so walking out wasn't an option. I figured the Geldner Center would help me resolve the issue after the fact to bring the charges in line with their quote. I was completely wrong. After getting the runaround from the Geldner Center for 2 months (I can't even count the number of times someone there told me "Oh, it's all going to be fixed and your account will be credited tomorrow!"), I have come to the conclusion that they are not going to do anything. It's up to me to dispute this with the surgical center, even though the Geldner Center was the one who gave me the written quote for surgery charges. The fact that they can't honor the quotes they give patents, or else have a terrible relationship with the surgery center they use, and don't seem to care, is truly disappointing. Regardless of the doctors' great work, I will never give my business to the Geldner Center again. Conclusion: If you don't mind being swindled out of tons of money, the doctors here are great." To make a sad situation even worse, Dr. Iteld told me that he would rectify the situation if I was able to prove myself. Although I found the process humiliating, I submitted emails and even have voicemails that say what we had agreed upon and that he planned it reimburse me for "all of the overcharges." I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because he was someone that I had trusted. After two months of getting the runaround and no refund.- it is clear that he doesn't value his clients or long term business It makes me extremely sad to write this post. I enjoyed visiting the Geldner Center for 4 years. It is unfortunate that he has changed and it is time for me to cross the Geldner Center off my list. read more

I began going to Beata for LHR after a family member's recommendation and a Groupon deal (Soooo worth it!) that I just could not pass up. I could not be more thrilled with my results. Beata is ridiculously skilled and highly knowledgeable. She manages to be incredibly friendly and down to earth without compromising any professionalism. I recommend her to absolutely everyone! Thank you Dr. Geldner, for employing such a talented esthetician. I can't wait to come back. :) read more

I had laser hair remove on my underarms, lower legs, and bikini area and could not be happier with the results! Beata and Rachel did the treatments for me. They were great and made me feel really comfortable the entire time. So happy to be hair free, this was the best money I've ever spent! read more

Dr. Geldner is such a skilled and professional surgeon. I went to him for various things ...First one being fixing another surgeons awful work and then finding out I had infiltrative basal cell cancer on the bridge of my nose right between my eyes. Such a horrifying feeling and after interviewing 10 doctors most of whom recommended MOHS surgery I asked Dr. Geldner if he could remove it and while I was under have the pathologist check to make sure the margins were clear. My pre op appt with him left me extremely nervous as he does tell you honestly what the worst outcome could be. I went into surgery and to my surprise, 4 weeks later you can barely notice a scar and I am forever grateful to this amazing surgeon! I highly recommend him to anyone and will be his forever patient! Love this doctor and his entire staff! Amy read more

Omg I went to get a consult for lipo and a breast aug. waited for a half an hour past my appointment time without anyone saying anything to me. Then I was brought to a room and left for another half an hour! I finally walked out and said do you know I've been waiting for an hour? Girl apologized then five minutes later the dr came in apologized and asked if I could be patient and wait a few min more. Ok fine. He came in 10 min later and answered all my questions . I did felt he rushed things a bit. Then his coordinator came in and asked if I wanted to try on implants for sizing which we did for a few min. Then she was called out and left again for 15 minutes ! My total appointment time was two hours! And I still haven't gotten a quote emailed to me and it's been over 24 hours! It was promised to have been emailed to me by last night. I'm sure Dr. Geldner is an excellent surgeon but this experience was frustrating and a ridiculous circus of mismanagement of my time. read more

Dr. Geldner is charming and likable. However, his charm and affability does not translate when it comes to rhinoplasty. He botched mine x2.

Lynn is seriously the best!! Felt so comfortable with her and the rest of the staff!! She put me back together lets just put it that way! She is also fun to be around! Can't wait to see her again!! read more

I've been going to Dr Geldner since I was in my 20's (so for years). He did my rhinoplasty, implants and I get my filler and botox treatments here. Everything I have had done looks natural and I have always been very happy. I highly recommend the Geldner Center!! read more

I had a procedure done with Dr. Peter Geldner and he not only had a great demeanor the day of the surgery, he did a great job on my eyes. I have recommended him to my friends. read more

It is hard to put into words how wonderful the patient coordinator, Marilyn Biede is. I chose to consult with the Geldner Center because our daughter lived in Chicago. I was not sure whether or not I would have any procedures done. After a consultation with Dr. Geldner I had the opportunity to discuss my questions and reservations with Marilyn. She was honest, knowledgeable and genuinely concerned. I had several procedures done. Marilyn was always available and made me feel special. When we experienced trouble with the billing at the surgical center, Marilyn took over and got things resolved. I can speak for myself, our daughter and my husband........all three patients, Marilyn is the greatest. I only wish every doctor's office had someone like Marilyn. But that is impossible for she is one of a kind a true treasure and an asset to the Geldner Center. read more
