I met Dr. Covici in the spring of 2012, after almost a year of bulging eyes due to Graves'…read moredisease/thyroid eye disease. My eyes hurt, looked awful, and made me feel extremely insecure despite being someone who didn't care about appearances before I got sick. My friends and family who knew me before Graves' all agreed that I looked very different. From the very first appointment, Dr. Covici reassured me that what I was feeling was normal - that no one in theirs 20s should have to go through what I had been through with visible proof all over my face. He assured that everything would be treated as medically necessary rather than cosmetic because this was due to a medical condition. He performed numerous tests and reviewed my long medical history to ensure I was ready for surgery. He also reviewed photos of my eyes and face before Graves' so could see how drastically the disease had affected my eyes. He even brought one of the photos into the OR with him. In September 2012, Dr. Covici performed bilateral orbital decompression along with an ENT surgeon. We knew the risk of double vision was great due to the need to remove so much bone and fat from my orbit, but it was a risk I was comfortable taking and one that Dr. Covici approached with compassion and confidence. Fortunately, I woke up with single vision. The recovery process was quite extensive, but I immediately received compliments from people who could see that I had my "old eyes" back. My eyes no longer bulged, but my upper eyelids had stretched and retracted so much that I required an additional surgery to loosen and lower them. In July 2013, Dr. Covici performed a bilateral repair of upper eyelid retraction. Again, it was a medically necessary procedure performed in the hospital. The recovery was much easier and I am feeling great and definitely looking like my pre-Graves' self. Dr. Covici and his staff have been so wonderful. From accepting my frantic phone calls the morning of surgery to allowing me to text them photos of my bruises to make sure it was normal, and rearranging their own schedules to accommodate my busy life. Dr. Covici is the first physician I felt truly listened to me and understood that my concerns were not cosmetic but vital to returning me to my previous self. I would highly recommend Dr. Covici to anyone with Graves' disease, thyroid eye disease, Graves' ophthalmopathy, proptosis, or eyelid retraction. Even if your eyes have not changed, it's worthwhile to get some baseline tests and measurements so he knows exactly what he needs to do to return your eyes to their original state should anything change.

My wife has been going to Bumpy's since they opened. Every time she'd come home with something…read moregreat. It's hard to remember it all. The fresh (organic) vegetables do stand out but also a variety of products I'd consider somewhat hard to find in the area. After each visit she'd repeat "You have to go to Bumpy's!" Last weekend she saw their Facebook post on a special deal for (local & organic) Silver Queen corn. I happened to be home and jumped at the chance to go with her to check the place out. I wish I'd gone the first time she told me about this place. I'm an avid keto dieter and both of us appreciate high quality food (especially locally grown produce), and Bumpy's doesn't disappoint. They have a nice assortment of Keto friendly products, some I'd never seen before. Part of my Keto "problem" is that I have a wicked sweet tooth and if something doesn't taste quite right (or very close to the real thing) I won't eat it. Two things I discovered there were Keto "maple syrup" sweetened with Monkfruit and sugar free ketchup that tastes amazing and is acceptable with regards to my carb intact. I've attached a photo of the two. Anyway, Bumpy's has a slew of great products for seemingly every type of diet. The focus is ethically sourced, organic, etc. They even had some of my favorite stevia sweetened soda. We walked out of there with a trove of stuff that either sounded too good to not try, filled gaps in our diets, or we just needed as part of our normal grocery shopping. The beets we bought were so sweet and the corn was out of this world. We had some off the cob and I also put some in homemade salsa. They have a frequent shopper program and if you check-in on Yelp there's a special promotional discount. Me being a small local business owner I love supporting others. I'll have to keep going to get over the regret of not getting there sooner!

There was three women on staff they knew I was standing there cause I had my Doordash bag to pick up some items. One person didn't even say hey welcome I'll be right with you. They just ignored me and then I'm steaming. The steam is coming out of my ears and then I say hey come on help me still got ignored finally after 25 minutes. The manager came over and I said hey where am I supposed to stand even though she knows me from seeing me she gave me some attitude. It wasn't busy in the store, but they knew when you're walking in the door there's a spot that Doordash stand and she said well they couldn't see you. I'm telling you I'm never having life. They just lost 20 customers plus because I'm passing the word out about this so all people that I know that shop there are going to tell their friends it used to be a nice place to shop now the staff thinks they're better than other people that's how they come across but they don't say like oh welcome or thank you for shopping here they've become so complacent. They don't realize that they're not doing what they used to do. Very upset. I still am upset about it.

The office staff was very nice. But Dr. Spink acted like his skin was crawling in response to questions. He didn't seem to like that I wasn't a standard patient. He argued with me. He was so off-putting and so not confidence-inspiring that I went elsewhere and had the oral surgery done WHILE AWAKE and spent a YEAR paying it off, just so that I never had to see him again, let alone trust him with my life under anesthesia. I suspect there are aspects of his job that he is very good at. I suspect there are other surgeons at this office who are adequate. I suspect some people would be happy with him. Me, I recently tried a local free clinic and found them far superior, even if they don't provide all types of dental care. I would only consider seeing Spink if you ask no questions (not advisable) and have ZERO special medical considerations. Or maybe just ask for someone else if you go to this practice. I found Spink's table-side manner atrocious, which is one thing, but being unable to discuss questions is dangerous. It's suspect, for one, but also, patients can get hurt if all factors aren't on the table. Do your research and choose the right doctor for anything invasive or that involves anesthetics! Warning: When I was there, they were scenting the office with synthetic chemical/toxic oil fragrance (I have never in my life been to a SCENTED dental office). Any medical office that does this is questionable, as such products are not only health hazards, they specifically harm those with asthma, allergies and chemical sensitivities. This office is clearly not representative of the more progressive valley. Unless they've stopped this, choose another practice if you want to breathe easily and/or don't want to leave smelling like what I imagine a cheap bordello smells like.

She asked what I was looking for, the occasion, colors we were wearing, techniques I was interested in and what style I was looking for. Monica did an amazing job. My makeup was gorgeous and flawless. I felt like a million bucks. If you are looking to look amaze balls, this is your girl! She dolled me up and kept it natural. My eyeliner was blue, which totally matched my husband's shirt. The champagne in the shadow looked perfect with my dress. She taught me some contouring techniques.

From the consultation to the final reveal, everything felt professional, comfortable, and very well explained. They really understood how to shape brows in a way that looks natural and masculine, nothing overdone, just clean, balanced, and confidence-boosting.

This was one of the best grooming decisions I've made. I already feel more polished and put-together, and I've gotten compliments without anyone being able to tell why, which is exactly the goal. Highly recommend.

I want to let anyone reading this to know that if you get this done & she doesn't take care & pay…read moreattention you will be left with self esteem issues, feelings of hopelessness, anxiety around others & essentially you will never be the same. Things started out well around in early 2013 when I went the first time to get my eyebrows permanently tattooed! These are the results you see in picture #1 & #2. I returned a year later in mid 2014 to get them a little darker but not much. Please refer to picture #3. This time they were okay but her technique changed, less careful, less care too dark, noticeably different than one another but if you look quick they are okay..... This was before she moved to this address close by (before & after), she got a Mercedes & saw $ dollar signs. Fast forward to May 2015, picture #4. Uneven, huge, never shrunk down when scabs came off, my face expression has changed because of the eyebrows, horrible, in balanced, damage done. She had moved, became Lux, & didn't care about the those that supported her, the care was gone & rightfully I was to blame the most for not going with my gut in the first place! She wasn't paying attention to what she was doing. The mistakes changed my face. I was spending time & money trying to cover them with tattoo makeup & the sunglasses search began. My self esteem suffered (to put it mildly). I let her know what happened, asked her to fix them, but was literally ghosted & treated like she didn't even know me. Fast forward 10 years to picture #5 taken today. They are still there, different drastically from one another but finally fading a bit & I am still trying to fade them, grow my eyebrows over the tattoo, cover them with concealer, wear sunglasses anywhere & everywhere I go. It has had such an effect on my overall self esteem that I have a difficult time even showing my face in public without sunglasses. My eyebrows were left different from one another, one high & one lower & I struggle to even look anyone in the eye. It's humiliating. I tried to go to her to have them fixed shortly after but she refused to acknowledge what she did. I'm at the point now that I am 44 & don't want someone else to go through this. When we are young we do things on a whim, trust people to mess with our face & bodies because they supposedly know what they are doing but at the end of the day it is not their face. They can look in the mirror & not see their mistakes, they will never feel your shame or pain from what may be called a 'simlke mistake.' Think twice, apply makeup you can remove & avoid permanent makeup. Also, listen to your gut. If I did I would have turned right around & left. If you are paying someone for a service make sure they respect you & YOUR wishes. Just like hair dressers who are all about the mighty dollar now, they don't have to like you but they DO HAVE TO RESPECT YOU but you YOURSELF HAS TO DEMAND THAT RESPECT. BLESSINGS
