The Refined Skin Medi-Spa is absolutely nothing short of terrible. This one sentence can sum up my…read moreentire experience but allow me to elaborate so you can truly understand why going here would be THEE worst investment and waste of time you could ever make. First, I called at 9:30am to make an appointment for a chemical peel, which is a service provided by a licensed Esthetician and thus, it does not require any sort of pre-qualification or doctor's attention; anyone can get it. I was then scheduled for my chemical peel later in the day. Upon arriving, I meet with Sarah (whom I presume is an Esthetician). She washed her hands, used no gloves, examined my face with her fingers and within seconds, told me she would NOT be giving me the chemical peel I asked for, since the $900 (and obviously, more expensive) laser treatment would be best. For the remainder of my visit with Sarah, she did NOTHING but try to sell me on the benefits of a $195 facial scrubbing product (similar to a giant, electric toothbrush). She could not have oversold this product if she tried any harder. Then, Dr. Kory Tuominen, MD arrived and within seconds - without reviewing any of the pictures that were taken of my face or my needs - immediately told me that the most expensive laser surgery was what I needed and that a chemical peel just wasn't going to work. How in the heck were these "professionals" making the most expensive decisions for me, without even so much as a glance at my face or consideration for the fact that I wasn't interested in laser surgery nor do I have the means with which to afford it? Then, Dr. Kory Tuominen, MD also tried to sell me on the same face scrubbing product that Sarah did. Once more, I sat through an entire sales pitch on how great the $195 face scrubbing product was and how, with the purchase of the product, I would receive a $95 credit towards any in-spa services I wanted. I cannot say this enough: The entire 45 minute ordeal was nothing short of a sales pitch that went too long. I might as well have showed up to a 90-minute time share rental presentation and got better results. So, we came up with three treatment options, with my preferred option (the least expensive option) being the third and last choice. I told Sarah I wanted to go with my treatment option (which again, was the chemical peels) and she told me I could but instead of paying $150 per peel, I had to pay $400 upfront for the services because it just "made it easier on the office staff and was more convenient for me." Really? How is doling out $400 more convenient for me when I've clearly told you that finances are a huge concern for me? I left so dissatisfied and angered, that I have filed complaints with all professional associations (including the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice) against Dr. Kory Tuominen, MD and his staff for their unethical, incompetent and shamelessly sales-oriented practice. Do not ever go here. You will absolutely be disgusted in every sense of the word

Checked into the St. James Hotel Friday and booked massages for my husband and me for Saturday…read more Karin, my massage therapist, was awesome. After feeling that my shoulders were super tight, she explained cupping and why it may be beneficial. And it was. She talked through every part of the process and I felt immediate results. She listened to all my needs and adjusted her treatment accordingly. Her work on my hips and glutes was nothing short of amazing. I would definitely consider a road trip back to Red Wing for another visit with Karin. My husband saw Mike and reports that he was very attentive to client requests and restrictions.

I had a bone blocking my ability to breathe out of one nostril ever since I was a teenager. Dr…read more Robert DeFatta looked at it and went, Mama Mia. Lol Yes, it was bad. His professional manner was very kind and comfortable. I had surgery to repair this, but imagine my despair when the bone was still there, still out of place, but I could breathe out of that nostril...but to my horror, my other nostril, the one that was fine? now has less space and so the problem has switched from one side to the other. Good grief! This is a major surgery to go through and I had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia. I just was so heartbroken. I thought for sure he would get it right.

The office did not tell me I qualified for shots only per the contract and I bought expensive drops because everyone guided me toward that option, even the doctor in the consult after the test. Billing does not communicate with staff apparently. I am 100% disabled and qualify for free health care and was told by them too that I could get reimbursed from VA with a receipt. Who wouldn't choose home drops instead of weekly shots? After repeated denials for a refund from anyone, I gave up and resigned to getting shots next. Had a follow up a few days ago where a lighthearted mention of my situation and Billing semantics turned into his imposing egotistical moody "specialist" questioning me because he had no clue what convos Billing had with me and VA. He reduced me to a tearful shaky shell of a person and I kept trying to explain this long story. He called me a liar, and that I insinuated he was a liar, and that staff explained my options. They DID, just not say hey we are solely contracted to give you these shots. And they had no clue about drops reimbursement VA policies anyways. Told him I was so upset I could not rightfully make a decision to do the shots now. No kleenex, no apology, just a "have a nice rest of your weekend." I was so embarrassed and upset. The only nice person through all of this was nurse Jocelyn, at his office.​

Most importantly, the quality of care they deliver to their patients is uniquely personable. They are undeniably fervent in their pursuit of making the patient feel comfortable and secure before, during and after their experience with the practice. The small gesture of being able to choose your own music during the procedure added a special touch that comforted you even further. This was my first time going to a plastic surgeon and I was understandably apprehensive, even though it was for a minor procedure. Dr. Prischmann calmed me immediately with the confidence she showcased and how she took the time to listen and talk to you in a way that instantly put you at ease. The entire experience from the consultation, procedure and follow-up went beyond my expectations. I am thankful to have found Dr. Prischmann and her staff. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

She is Always professional and also extremely personable. Her knowledge is in depth (and I have seen a lot of doctors in this field). She goes the extra mile in explaining things too. One thing that I appreciate about her (and there are MANY) is that she will not do a procedure that she doesn't feel you need. Even when she could make the money doing it. I think that's where the negative reviews are coming from. She is HONEST. She will not do a procedure you don't need or if she feels it isn't the best option for you. I have had amazing, and most important, Natural results from her. Her Botox technique is the best (and I have tried many). She is the best at what she does and I recommend her highly!

Essence Skin Clinic, under the ownership & direction of Jennifer Sanneman CLP, is an excellent resource in Midwest. They offer and exclusive and exhaustive list of skin care treatments that address each individual's concern to help you leave feeling your absolute best. Jennifer treated me like gold, giving me highly personalized service. I have had 3 major laser resurfacing treatments and could not be more happy with my results. Her eye for perfection and that standards by which she trains her staff are far superior to that of any staff in MN. The wide range of services they offer are cutting edge in technology. A poor review of this place would just mean that that person's issues go much deeper than a cosmetic visit. Unhappy people are hurting people that lash out at others. As far as I am concerned. This place is a little "slice of Heaven" in the midwest & Jennifer and her "angels" can help me out with my appearance anytime!!!!! ;)
