I bought a Groupon for vein removal and booked for the following month (they are very booked, so don't expect to get an immediate appointment). Office is very clean and they offer a variety of cosmetic procedures. I got approximately 50 injections in my legs where I had spider veins. It wasn't painful. Just little pricks. I was able to go to work immediately after (and I stand all day). A week later... and the bruises are almost gone. I just booked my follow up for May. Definitely recommend Ailen at this office! read more

Not happy at all with the service and results. Eileen at Solana MD was not at all friendly or talkative for that matter. She was extremely quick and aggressive injecting my spider veins. Once done with the procedure she didn't even say thank you nor direct me to the exit. My veins were bruised and some bubbled up. I called their office and spoke to Eileen and she stated I had to wait for 3 weeks for everything to go back to normal. Today is Oct. 19, 2020 and it has been 3 weeks. I have spots and scabs. My legs look horrible. MAYBE I WAS TREATED THIS WAY BECAUSE I WAS A GROUPON CUSTOMER. I DON'T RECOMNEND EILEEN AT SOLUNA MD. read more

Is it appropriate to write a review about a place that no one should know you went to? I guess so...and if not, oh well. I like to point out the very friendly and high quality service of Dr. C and his staff. You almost feel like family here and I guess that is part of the centres success. I will not go into any procedures here (no clue to you all as to why I am writing this review...) but want to stress the location, setup, service and professionalism instead. The centre is small (not that I have others to compare it to) with only a few service/treatment rooms, a main and secondary lobby and semi separated waiting area. It seems the right size for what they offer and level of service you receive... The music is eclectic (I seem to recall it was the Dr. iPod on shuffle...) and scent is also taken care making you almost feel like you are a spa... Great crossover between discreet doctors service and Zen like body improvement centre. Check it out for yourself...if you believe you need the help! read more

Soluna MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Groupon is awesome. My daughter gave me one for spider vein removal (sure I am not ashamed to say why I was here) since I had mentioned that I wanted to do something about them before they turned into a problem. Each time I was here, the service was great, once I had to wait 1/2 hour but the second time I was called in on time. The second appointment had to be changed by me last minute from Monday to the Friday prior, and it was done with no problem. This is great business. Everyone I encountered here was pleasant, helpful and very nice. As for the treatment, it hurt like all hell but that is the nature of the medicine they use, it is pretty much normal for it to be that way. After the first treatment I found the veins gone, but then again my problem was minor, so I am pretty happy. Best part is after you can go have a coffee at the Village of Merrick Park and browse the awesome stores (read: Tiffany's and Swarovski) read more

Dr. Chang and the entire team is wonderful. Did the Vivace micro needling and saw my skin tighten within a day. Highly recommend.

Waste of time. Specifically asked about a certain treatment and was told they offered it. Waited weeks for an appointment, waited another 45 in the waiting room just to be told in office that they don't even offer the service I asked about!!! read more

I went to Dr. Chang for a consultation about a month ago and immediately decided on moving forward with some procedures. I am extremely happy with my decision. Everything from the office, the staff and the doctor was great! These types of things are nerve racking for me and I really do not enjoy going to any doctors office, however this overall experience was very different. It's been about two weeks since I've been there last and I am extremely satisfied with the results. The nurse and the doctor were very patient with me and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Soluna MD and Dr Chang if you're looking to get liposuction or leg veins treated. read more

I went to Soluna Med Spa for a consult and the staff was amazing, I didn't wait long to be seen by doctor Chang, and while in my consult he was extremely knowledgeable. I was definitely a bit nervous before the consult but the doctor put my mind at ease. I've already scheduled my appointment and will be going back to get work done. Thank you for making your new clients feel so welcomed! read more

I did my laser hair removal treatment at Soluna a couple of years ago and had such a great experience that decided to come back for a Vivace Microneedling treatment. I did a lot of research and Vivace is an awesome machine, is not your average salon microneedling machine. It gives real results! I was very happy to find out that Soluna had this service. Again I was very pleased with the costumer service and ease to comunicate with everyone in the office. Ailen was very detailed to make sure that the numb cream cover all my face and neck which made the treatment painless. You can't wear make up afterwards but you won't want to because the glow you get is amazing! It's been a few weeks now and I am loving the results even more. My skin is so tight, firm and still glowing! I would recommend this procedure to anyone who is thinking about it. Another great service provided by Soluna staff! read more

I've been going to Soluna for the past few years to receive treatment for varicose and spider veins. I've also gotten Botox and fillers for my face. I highly recommend Dr. Chang and supporting staff. They are professional and I've had great results. The office is very clean and beautifully decorated and designed. You can tell a lot from an establishment from the condition of their space, even the bathroom was spotless. I've recommended Soluna to my sisters, daughter-in-law and friends. read more

I had a great experience here. They are very thorough and explain everything that is going on with the veins in your legs and I will be going back for more sclerotherapy. read more

Not even a star.... Stay away from this place! Trust Me!! From the entrance to the exit ... Every staff with face of what my friends called Orto Face' I used my groupon for sclerotherapy for my legs, is my third week and im still all bruise, pain and it looks worst that the begining. I even have bumps that it feels that the liquid still there stock. I have nothing against the girl who did my treatment, but she is a nurse and I belive that a doctor is the one who supposed to do this type of treatments. I felt the pinch after one of the employees came inside the room to rush her. She took the tape out of her hand and began to pass the tape to her. I belived since is groupon thats the way they treat patients. I repent sooo much going to this place. Trust me don't go here, the location is good, but the inside is Hell ! I think this bruises, the pain and the red marks are not going away any soon. I have a Doctors appointment next week thats how bad I feel ladies!!! Look for PROFFECIONNALS NOT THIS PLACE!! GOOD LUCK! read more

My spider veins that I've had for 20 years are almost completely gone. I went years ago for the same kind of treatment and it accomplished nothing, but at Soluna, they literally took all the veins away. Yes, of course it hurts a bit... it's needles in your legs... but the result has been transformative for me. All in all, very happy. read more

Horrible job that's all I have to say he loves to brush you off he just wants you in and out terrible at smart lipo leaves you with horrible scar tissue the nurses doesn't educate young on what to do just get the surgery and be done with it!!! Wear your garnment no you need massages to drain out the liquid never again now I need a retouch and spending lots of money on massages to help my scar tissue or fibrosis what ever it's called I regret going over there smh read more

I must to say I had the worst customer service experience with them. Actually I can't blame the front desk staff or the provider of my treatment. The manager attitude was so unprofessional that I could not take an advantage of the place, I hope they switched manager, unfortunately I forgot her name, and this happened July 1st 2013 I wrote a post but it was not added. I hope now this one will show and help you guys. read more

I was very disappointed in the vein injection performed. Very little improvement, and a small area that was of greater concern, no improvement at all. Not sure if the technicians are qualified. Also, the tape they use takes weeks to fully remove. They also have difficulty answering the phone. Save your money on Groupon and pay to go to a qualified person that will get results. read more

I was in Florida for vacation and heard about this institution's hair removal services. I just wanted something real quick that would last the week that I would be in Miami. I went with a few friends of mines and was expecting the trip to be be super quick, and indeed it was. When entering the first thing I looked at was the cleanliness of the establishment, as that would let me know if I wanted to stay and get service. The place was pretty clean, aside from minimal sweeping that needed to be done. I didn't have to use the restroom while I was there, but a friend of mine did let me know that it was well kept. During the hair removal I was informed of everything that was taking place step by step, so that I would not have to ask many questions and the procedure would go by as quickly as possibly. The entire process took about 45-50 minutes. I only got my legs and under arms done, and it was relatively painless. Being that I never had it done before, I was uncomfortable at the beginning, but eventually I calmed down and was ok. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants quick hair removal done.There aren't prices on the website, but you could call for a consultation. I would actually suggest that. Other than that if you have any questions you can just give them a call. read more

Went for my 1st consultation and this office very nice and clean. I think very important when you are looking into these type of services. Also, this was a great staff. The doctor was very knowledgeable. Made you feel at ease. He was also very patient answering all of my questions. You leave there very informed and comfortable to make your decision. read more

I have never been so offended by a staff member of an establishment, as much as I was by your staff. So much so it would be consider borderline racist and discriminatory! Today was the second time, I came to your office to accompany my friend to get a procedure done and drive her home, since she won't be able to drive herself. I was than rudely asked to step outside of the office, because they do not allow people to wait for the patient inside, even though there were two other people waiting in the "waiting room" for their family/friends having their procedure. I would understand if I was not following COVID protocols, such as social distancing and 6 feet distance, but we all were. To have your staff only point out that I would need to leave the waiting room and not everyone in the waiting room is discriminatory. Not to mention , that less than a week ago , there was no issue and there were the same number of people in the waiting room. Your staff needs retraining! read more

I was referred to Dr. John Chang for varicose veins. I called and made an appointment to see him. When I went to the office, I was first called in to have an ultrasound of my legs. So far, so good. The technician doing the ultrasound seemed competent and professional. That is why I am giving this office 2 stars instead of 1. Then she led me into another office where I was expecting to see Dr. Chang. A few minutes later, a woman came in and said she was a nurse practitioner. I asked if I was going to see Dr. Chang, and she said no, that he was out of town and not available. I told her I had made the appt with him and expected to see him. She seemed quite indignant that I wasn't happy about seeing her. I left the room and went back out to the front and made an appt. with Dr. Chang for next week and expressed that I was not happy to make an appt and not see the MD specialist (Vascular Surgeon)I had expected. Then I asked to receive the results of the ultrasound and was told it would cost $50. and take 2 days. This was adding insult to injury. When I got home, Humberto, who had made the original appointment called. I complained to him and he said that's the way they do business and that nurse practitioners can be just as good or better than MD's. He also was surprised about the $50 fee for getting the results of the ultrasound. I can't rate Dr. Chang because I didn't see him, but I would definitely not recommend this office to anyone. I should have realized this was more of a spa than a medical office when I saw that they accept Groupon. Unprofessional and a waste of my time. read more

Dr. Chang is a miracle worker! I've been his patient for many years, and I've always been extatic after every procedure, and I've seen great results! These last few visits however were more than cosmetic, they were about venous disease, and I saw multiple doctors in the field who sent me away without hope. Dr. Chang was the only one to give me hope, and used procedures and techniques that other specialists were not even aware of. I haven't seen my legs look this good for many years, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! Thank you, Dr. Chang and your beautiful staff! read more

I had smart lipo performed and was not happy with the results. I went back, paid 400 n did it again; results still were bad!! I don't recommend them for smart lipo procedures... read more

STAY AWAY! Dr. Chang is not a board certified plastic surgeon. He scarred me for life with "SmartLipo." I was left with severe and noticeable lumps throughout my abdomen and hard sides with little circulation. I had to pay thousands more for reconstructive surgery with a real plastic surgeon using Vaser. I later found out that most doctors don't even use SmartLipo because it is known for scarring and burning. BEWARE and do your research. I was fooled by the great marketing and kind demeanor. He is not board certified for a reason. Soluna MD is owned by investors who have the money to get on VH1, it's not because he's a good surgeon. Pay the extra money for a real plastic surgeon or you may regret it later like I did. read more

I waited 10 weeks to write this review since I needed to see the results of the spider vein therapy I received on January 18, 2013. I have not seen great results. On the contrary, they look a little worse than when I first went in. I'm so disappointed. I decided to get the spider vein therapy since my pregnancy was no so nice to me and gave me spider veins all over my body most noticeable on my chest and legs. My chest was the part that was affected the most, but CoupTessa offered a promotion from SolunaMD only for the legs. My legs were not that bad, but it was worth giving it a shot since I could see them. I got most of them on the outer thigh of my right leg as well as near my groin on both legs. Appointment was not difficult to make at all. It was quite easy. The office is located at Village of Merrick Park on the first floor. Very clean and cozy. I arrive for my appointment and I'm not thrilled with the nurse that was given the duty of providing me the service. She did not have the best bedside manners. She wouldn't have explained the procedure to me if I hadn't asked her. It was also very difficult to understand what she was telling me since I assume English wasn't her first language. I asked her if the procedure is painful and bluntly she said yes. Nothing else. No smiles. No words of comfort. NOTHING. It was painful especially in the back of the leg where your leg bends. Ouch! A couple weeks pass and I've noticed that the areas that were given the therapy look worse by a lot. I'm super worried and I call to speak to someone who can explain the reason to me. Unfortunately, the girl who picked up the phone didn't know what answer to give me and she said the nurse would call me tomorrow. Tomorrow came and no call was received. I called again the following day to speak to the nurse. She said that some people have these sort of reactions at first and to give it a few months. Well two months have passed and my legs do not look any better. The veins are still there and the ones on my outer right thigh are darker than before. Definitely not happy about this. I'm scared to go back and get more treatments to see if multiple treatments will work, but I rather not take the chance. I heard laser therapy is much better and efficient than the injections. I will wait for the laser therapy once I can afford it. read more

I used a Groupon I purchased last summer for scelerotherapy (veins on my legs). First of all, I think a place that advertises for Groupons should have appointments available sooner than 6 to 8 weeks away. I had scelerotherapy done a few years ago (in a different state) and loved the results. I assumed that the doctor would do it, but instead a nurse came in to do it. I have nothing against nurses...I have had some great treatment from nurses at dermatologists' offices. But, I found out that she was in her early 20s (very early) and had been a nurse for less than a year...and working at the vein center for even less time. Scelerotherapy seemed like something that could be taught in less than a year since that is a large part of what they do at the center. So, I let her go ahead. She did a trial of 10 injections to see how it would take. I came back a few days later and the veins were still there, so she increased the concentration of the injection (I knew that was standard protocol). I asked that some injections be done on my back, she said the doctor would have to come in to do those and it would cost more than just the group on. I knew it was more than the 50 injections so I agreed. The doctor came in, he was very nice, and did a few the nurse missed on my leg and then did the ones on my hips and lower and upper back. A week later I several of the injection sites on my legs were very irritated even thought I had done what I was told. I lifted one of the bandages off one of the 3 areas that were irritated (all done by the nurse), and it was open and oozing puss. I called the doctors office and after the nurse was very rude to me she finally got the doctor who told me to come in. He looked at it and said it was actually one of the types of reactions that can happen..he called it a normal reaction. But, he did prescribe me an antibiotic, told me to stay out of the sun, let it dry, then use antibiotic ointment if i wanted. It has been over 6 months and I still have scars on my legs. They are much worse than the tiny spider veins I had before. I will do scelerotherapy again, but I will looks for a place that has nurses, physicians assistants, and/or doctors who have been doing the treatment for several years. read more

I have been hesitating to write this review since I believe that if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all. I bought a Groupon to this place for sclerotherapy, and before purchasing it, I did look up reviews on the company to make sure it was legit and got decent reviews. So with that, I did end up purchasing the Groupon, and it was the biggest mistake and waste of money I made. My experience was soooo bad, that I never went back for my remaining sessions. First of all, as another reviewer stated, they are terrible at answering the phone and returning messages (that should have been a clue, because I did call too before actually purchasing Groupon) Secondly, Lalani, the RN or ARNP (dear God, I really hope not, because I am one too, and would not like to think of her as a professional collegue) was just horrible. She had NO bedside manner, was not friendly (at all), and at my second visit, I felt like she has stabbing the needles into my legs. I was literally in tears by the time I left. Needless to say, my legs were badly bruised for weeks, looking ALOT worse than how I went initially. I would not recommend this place. It make me wonder if that's how they treat Groupon customers, or all their customers in general. If you are going to put your business out there on Groupon (I'm sure no one forced them to), then treat people the same as fully paying customers. You might actually get repeat business. read more

I am writing this review after reading some negative ones. I realized everyone has opinions and sometimes people go in expecting a complete transformation. I think people going in for cosmetic work expecting to be perfect afterwards. That doesn't happy, ever. No matter where you go. I have never had a bad experience at Soluna. I have had Dr. Chang do both sclerotherapy ( treatment for varicose and spider veins) as well as Botox multiple times. Dr. Chang has always been extremely professional, friendly and open to listen to all my concerns. I read somewhere on here that he was not board certified, which is completely false. He is a board certified surgeon who did complete medical school, residency and surgery fellowships. I can say that I have never had any problem with the botox that I have received and it always did what it was suppose to do for the lines on my forehead. Likewise, the one time they were not completely gone a week later, I was told to come back in for more at no charge. I also had schlerotherapy for the spider veins I had on my legs. I was in my early 30s when I needed them removed thanks to hereditary. It was a very simple procedure and I don't recall being rushed nor did it hurt. Dr. Chang was very gentle and explained everything as it was being done. I have never had an issue with them returning since. My father also saw Dr. Chang a few years ago because he had horrible varicose veins. They were huge veins which needed to be taken care of and my father had zero issues during or after the procedure. His legs look 100% better to this day. I can't really say much about the staff or front desk. I never had a problem making or scheduling an appointment nor did I have any insurance issues as some have stated they have. It was a typical doctors visit overall with an awesome doctor. At the end of the day I don't really care how horrible the front staff or receptionist may be. They are not the ones who are treating me. I would much rather have an awesome doctor with potentially not so great staff ( if that is the case), rather than great front desk staff and a crappy doctor. read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE! Unprofessional and nasty. Too lazy to verify my insurance properly. I got a call from them asking ME to verify MY INSURANCE! They never call back and unless you are rich, they don't want to deal with you. THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I got my refund back from Groupon for some services! I made sure that the 5 people I referred over there cancelled their appointments. read more

Horrible experience from day one. Doctors recommendation was never followed, Injections were always late. Stay away from this place, I had the owner yelling at me when I called him to explain that I was not receiving my medication on time. Again HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. read more

i have a complaint regarding the front desk lady. it was my third time at the office, everyone has been nice except this lady. when the lady called me to go for my vein procedure, i asked my friend to wish me luck and then the lady heard my friend and she told me that she can not be there because of covid-19, she needs to wait for u somewhere else other than the office and she goes that the sign mention that too. she discriminated us in obvious manner without respect, because there was a gentleman waiting for someone before us and she never told him anything. among everyone else she only came to us and pointed her fingers to us. very disrespectful from her to treat her patients or their families this way. i was at the office twice with my friend before and no body has mention anything sore of this that she is not allowed to be there and they never informed before the procedure that i can not have any company at the office. the lady needs some trainings on how tp treat the patients. she disturbed me and caused me an anxiety right before my procedure, just UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!. we fully understanding the covid situation but it was not addressed properly from her behalf. my friend and the gentleman waited sitting on the hallway while the room was completely empty while she stated is going to be busy(Lie) plus the sign that she said it points out to not bring people in other than patients(Lie). honestly, it is very disappointing. read more

Dr Chang was the most professional and courteous dr I have dealt with. He took care of my mother-in-law with such patience and care. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Chang and Soluna MD to anyone looking for cosmetic surgery in the Weston area or Coral Gables. read more

Wowwwwww. First of all my consultation went amazing friendly staff willing to work with my schedule. Second hey literally squeezed me in for smart lipo the next day since my wedding is two months away. Doctor was super honest with me. Since I workout and have some muscle under my tummy but had a hard time getting getting rid of it after my bikini competition I decided to go through with smart lipo. Doctor told me I was the perfect candidate since I exercise lift and cardio 5x a week. Procedure was painless I mean I was so surprised doctor was soo patient with me. We even had great conversations during the entire surgery I had a great time. Nurse eileen was like the best I love her. I'm so excited I had such a great experience. This is not a butcher shop where they fit in a million people a day it's very safe and not anything like these Latin Hispanic meat factories. Loved my experience !!! Dr Chang you're great and deserve all the credit in the world !! read more

Weightloss does not always have to be invasive for optimal results and this holds true with Soluna MD. While you have the option to do add'l methods it is just that your option. Soluna MD has come up with a method that not only helps you lose weight but keep off other weight by creating a partnership with you to help you along the way. The office is welcoming and makes you feel at home. You sit down and really hash out what is a realistic start to your weight loss goals and a plan is established as to how exactly you're going to get there successfully. Healthy lifestyles is hugely promoted because it's not just great to look good but also feel good by having your health in mind. I highly recommend Soluna MD when you are ready to make "the change" not just try another weightloss program. read more

I took my aunt here for Smartlipo. Firstly, they offered such an amazing deal through Groupon. I saved some, & got my procedure done in little time. The staff was great, friendly and welcoming. They made the environment feel very comfortable to be in. We were torn initially being that we didn't know the difference in types of lipo, (ie: smart lipo, liposuction). We went the smart lipo due to minimal scarring. From the time we reached for our consultation, to the time the procedure was done, we felt like the process couldn't've been easier. Overall though, my aunt has been pleased, no complaints, & I plan on coming back here for a chemical peel. They aren't too costly, & from the judgement of service, I figure them to be a great choice for any cosmetic need. They also offer varicose veins treatments. She started those. When I say, they go away so soon. Her skin looks smooth and back to its youth once more. read more

Really bad about answering their phone and returning messages. Office staff are friendly if nothing is complicated, otherwise they are snippy and unhelpful. Dr Chang and the wonderful ultrasound tech are the exceptions, they were professional, knowledgeable and know their stuff. read more

I went to Dr. Chang for Cellulaze. It is approaching swim suit season and I have been losing weight and no matter how much muscle a gain or how toned I get the cellulite won't go away. I was clear that I wanted to smooth the skin over my thighs and smart-lipo on the inner thighs that rub. Well he was intent on removing my hips (to him they are saddle bags!). Well I walked in shaped like a coke bottle and walked out looking like a box! Yes, I ignored the red flags like the high pressure sale tactics (you have 1 week to except his price or it goes up by almost $2k. And then when I went to pickup my script for antibiotics & pain meds I was informed I need to buy my own post-op garment and I needed to bring heavy duty overnight period pads to cover my wounds! He left gaping holes in my legs without stitching them. I don't think he even knows how to stitch. After the procedure I had blood and everything running down my legs. I was awake for the procedure and can feel most of it. They did not require a clearance from my doctor before surgery, just half assed all around so I guess I should not be surprised. I paid him for my thighs & to do the cellulaze on the backs of my arms ($5,200 in all). He did my thighs first and I was supposed to go back for my arms. Obviously I did NOT do that. I confronted him at my one week post opt regarding my hips and he dismissed my concerns. So I am out my money and I had to see another surgeon to correct the dent he left in one but check now that the swelling has gone down and to hopefully give me back my hips. So now I have to put weight on to have enough body fat to do the transfer to fix what he did. People are paying big money to have a but and he tried to destroy what God & my mom gave me. By the way, it looks like I never did anything to my thighs, the cellulite still looks exactly the same because he spent all his time on my hips. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. The facialist did a peel on my face that has permanently scarred my face everywhere. I couldn't even leave the house for months and other Dr.'s will not touch it since they don't want to be liable. I have to wear heavy make-up to look normal and never wore make-up before. They are very inexperienced and should not be in business. See reviews regarding their lack of experience in other procedures. read more

Excellent service from the time I came in until the time I left. Im very happy with my results as Dr Changs experience is extensive and shows in his work. I started with Botox and was so pleased with the results (only took one session for me) that i decided to have more work. Im glad I did, My legs are now perfectly clear, no more spider veins. Beach here I come! Thanks Dr Chang! read more

This is the worst place to go if you want to be good treated and have any procedure professionally done . I purchased a groupon deal for my spider veins ( I have very little), the deal was for up to 50 injections, the girl only did like 38 injections and a week after I'm seeing lots and lots of veins in my leg, so when I went there to complain about it she told me I needed to buy another groupon and I said I paid for 50 injections and then she started arguing with me about it and said "I'm sorry but you'll have to come back with another groupon"...you've got to be kidding me... waste my money again with those idiots who have no idea on what they're doing? now I have some marks and veins very visible on my legs. If I only new about this website and the reviews about that horrible place before I made my purchase :'( . Now I'm gonna have to go to another place and pay extra to fix this big mistake I made... read more
