I was referred to Dr. Farole by my primary Dr. Rosenfeld for a wisdom tooth extraction. To be…read morehonest, I had called another office referral first but they couldn't get me in fast enough. Dr Farole's availability worked much better in this instance. My top right tooth started to pop out of its gum on the front end, and I still had 3 total remaining including the one popping out, so my dentist recommended I have all remaining evaluated. My consult copay was $50. The office was very well organized in my opinion. You can opt-in for text message or email updates, appointment notifications can be managed via text, and I was able to get my new patient paperwork in prior to my first appointment for smooth sailing. Dr. Farole and all the staff were very friendly and had a great bedside manner and demeanor in their approach. Dr. Farole had explained to me both pros and cons of removing just the 1 giving me the problem, or removing all at the same time. We ultimately decided to get rid of all of them and go under general anesthesia. This was my first general anesthesia experience of my life, and as a relatively anxious person - I'm here to tell the rest of you that there is absolutely nothing to be scared of. I know there are a couple of terrifying reviews on here of people waking up in pain screaming and the staff laughing... I have to say that I truly wonder if the people that wrote those reviews were still under the influence of the drugs and remember incorrectly.. but either way I'm here to tell you that absolutely was NOT my experience. I don't even remember falling asleep. It was easy to drift off to sleep, easy to wake up - and it was not scary. The staff did make jokes here and there, but nothing unprofessional - I really think they're just trying to put you at ease and show you there's nothing to worry about ! One thing I loved is that they allow you to choose the music you want before your procedure. I put my favorite music on, I remember chatting to them about work, and the next thing I know I was waking up with the gauze in my mouth and them instructing me of my next steps. I scheduled my follow up about 1 week out from the procedure (no copay for that) and Dr. Farole will check on your healing progress, check for infection, etc. Make sure to follow the instructions they provide you for recovery. Based on my experience, I would recommend Dr. Farole and his team for your wisdom teeth extraction! I can't speak to anything else, but I'd trust them with my care.

Woke up during surgery and was screaming in pain…read more Called in for more pain killers a few days after and the lady who answered the phone didn't recognize who I was, and I told her I was the one who woke up while under anesthesia, she started to laugh. During the follow up visit I was told as soon as the doctor walked in the room that I was a "crazy woman." While looking at my teeth I was told I was "acting like a child" when I flinched and was poking me with a qtip, it was not gentle. He had no empathy and was very unprofessional, no customer should be treated this way. Most of the staff was nice and I feel bad they have to work for him.

They confirmed I was only locked into the membership for 12 months upon the commencement date. In November of 2024, I had my last appointment with them, and AGAIN confirmed there was nothing needed on my end to not renew. My tech at the time told me I was good to go and that the monthly charges would stop in January 2025. It is now June of 2025 and I continue to have monthly charges on my credit card for a membership I was assured would not auto-renew, and that I have not received any services for in now over a year. I have tried contacting them dozens of times and have to now resort to leaving this review to get them to acknowledge and (hopefully) remediate this issue. I encourage anyone signing up for a membership to act with caution as this has been a headache to try and resolve.

Finest doctor I've ever known…read more I have been seeing this doctor for about 25 years and referred many friends to him. We all agree he is the standard by which all of us believe physicians should be measured. Not only is he expert in his knowledge and his clinical applications, he is inevitably polite, compassionate and employs cutting edged standards. He brings a dignity to the practice of medicine that is extremely rare. I trust and endorse him completely.

I returned again for my second visit in January 2017. The purpose of my visit is a standard full body exam of the skin, and not for a specific reason or issue. On both visits, I was ushered in within minutes of my scheduled appointment, and only waited a few minutes in the exam room. The exams were thorough, and Dr. Solotoff explains as he goes through the exam, alerting you to things you should know so you can do your own self exams between visits. He has excellent bedside manner, is polite, friendly and keeps you at ease. His staff is equally friendly and professional. This is truly an A+ experience in every aspect! First Time Tips: The office is inside a primarily residential building, so ask in advance about parking and access, as the lot / entrance can be confusing. They do not take credit or debit cards as payment. So if you have a healthcare plan with a some type of debit card, you'll need to request payment to the provider (or make it yourself and request reimbursement).

They welcome you when they pick up the phone! I went in for some dandruff and eczema issues. I first had an appointment 2 weeks out, but then there was a snow day. Tip: Perfect day to call and replace a cancelled appointment. I had no problem getting there in the snow. After all, my scalp was asking for any help it could get! Dr. Hess was genuine and checked me and new course of action I needed next. So far, one month later, it seems to be working well. Although, I still have some irritation, so that's what my next follow up visit is for. Tip: Follow up visits are easier to schedule! They had samples of Dove soap and lotion in the office waiting room. They also provided me with some samples of hand cream. I wish they could have offered some samples of the dandruff treatment, which I later found out they had in stock. I had to fork out a couple hundred of dollars (thanks to my new deductible I had to meet first because it was the beginning of the new year) for the prescriptions, only praying it would work in hopes that I didn't waste my money. Pleased with my visit.

The owner is very unprofessional I had an appointment today 3/3/2022 at 10:30 I received a text message saying my appointment was cancelled because I didn't fill out a form that is normally filled out right before you walk in for treatment. I've had 4 treatments and see no difference. I was told by one of the employees that they were having trouble with their laser machine and my appointment was changed twice due to the machine being repaired. I questioned why the laser was ice cold and I was told "a piece on the machine was replaced and when it's cold that means it's really working" that was a joke! I have zero improvement with my unwanted hair. I have a message m from the owner Jacquee who was super rude and I was very offended. From reading comments it appears she's reaching out to people behind the scenes when complaints are made. I told her as a business owner myself I would never be so callous and unprofessional especially when people such as myself is the reason her business is still around! If you want effective laser hair removal this is not the place. It's a waste of time and money!! On top of that if you're not the right color the disrespect and condescending statements are at an all time high!!! People please research before making a decision to have treatments here. The business rating speaks for itself 3 stars that's poor service in my opinion.

My initial consult was for dark discoloration under my eyes. I've had under eye filler before but the problem now is really the skin coloring. He listened to my concerns, gave me options, and really took the time to explain everything. Eventually I decided that it wouldn't be worth it to try laser to the area. He was honest and realistic about the results, explaining that the treatment likely wouldn't make a huge difference in their appearance. How refreshing! He refunded my consult fee and I was so impressed with his professionalism that I decided to go back for filler to a different area. He put filler to my temples and cheeks. In the last few years, I didn't like how my face had been looking saggy and a bit unflattering. This gave me the LIFT I needed! My nasolabial folds are essentially gone and I look like I did three years ago. My confidence is soaring and the best thing--no one can even tell what I did. A coworker told me "you look refreshed today." Amazing I couldn't be happier. One last thing: I use these services mindfully... it's HARD being a woman with today's beauty standards. There is a balance between accepting your own imperfections and making small changes that enhance your natural beauty. Not to go on a whole tangent, but if that's also your viewpoint, Dr. Zelinger will help you achieve that. He says things like "natural is always better" and "I think you look great, but what matters is what you think." I love the way he communicates to encourage body positivity. Thank you again Dr. Z!!
