Surgery Cancelled Day Of - $25K Lost, No Warning About Nicotine Test…read more I scheduled for surgery with Dr. Salemy, paying $25,000 in full. On the day of surgery, I was told the procedure was canceled due to a positive nicotine test--something I was never informed would be required on the day of surgery. I was left emotionally devastated and financially drained. No part of the surgery was performed, and the practice refused to return any of my payment. After speaking with the office on the day of the surgery when I was groggy from medications and then one less than 10 minute conversation, the office told me they would not be discussing with me any further my request for a refund or alternative to losing out on my 25k payment.

Dear Allure Esthetic Team,…read more I am writing to express my gratitude for the exceptional care I received during my recent surgery and post-op care. I would like to extend my thanks to Dr. Sajan, Dr. Khezri, Chansotie, Tina, and Shelby for their professionalism, kindness, and expertise. Dr. Sajan was very honest with me about what I could expect from my surgery and made sure I had a realistic goal for my physical results. He was professional, caring, kind, and funny throughout the process. Dr. Khezri was also kind, caring, and funny. My sister mentioned that he stayed with the staff and waited until I was in the care of my sister before he left to go home for the night. Chansotie and Tina at the Kirkland office were both very helpful before and after the surgery. They were knowledgeable, kind, and caring. Shelby at the Seattle office was so sweet, kind, helpful, and understanding. She has a wonderful bedside manner, and I wish she would have been at every one of my post-op appointments. I am only a couple of weeks out of surgery and am pleased with my results thus far. I came to Dr. Sanjan from another state to fix a prior breast lift and mini tummy tuck. I will update you during my process. Thank you again for your exceptional care. I would highly recommend Allure Esthetic to anyone seeking medical care. Surgical team: Dr Sajan, Dr.Khezri (anesthesia), Chansotie (nurse), Tina (PA). Post-op care: Shelby (MA) Sincerely, Danika Bowman

I'll tell you a bit about my journey. I wanted to find a place to do sinusoplasty to help me with…read moremy breathing, because of a deviated septum. I didn't realize how crooked it was. And while under I figured I could do some rhinoplasty to correct the shape of my nose. I looked at a few places, nervous because I've never had surgery before. After meeting Dr Schvindler, I knew this was the place. For me, I didn't want some sterile Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, I wanted a compassionate, warm place and a doctor who helps Vets, teaches, and specializes on face. So after a few months the day finally arrived! I had a 6am appointment and nervous, no idea how much pain I'll be in afterward, and thought about backing out. But I press forward, comforted by the amazing anesthesiologist whom made me laugh and stayed with me the whole time. After getting on the table, I fell asleep without even noticing I was about to and woke up basically on my way home. My wife putting me to bed I didn't feel tired and in fact felt energetic. The most profound thing is that I didn't even take the strong pain killers at any time afterwards. I felt no pain at any stage ever. Sure the first day is like a really bad cold, and you are super stuffy but each day gets better and in a week you are back to normal. After the first day the gel in your nose disintegrates. Nothing else goes in there. So a month later writing this, yes it will take a while for swelling subside but an amazing experience. I am so thankful for Dr S. If you are on the fence even, book an appointment and come here. I can't believe I suffered so many years with a crooked nose. Night and day

I saw Dr. Joe for my nose and my ears- I had been picked on growing up for both and the insecurity…read morenever went away. I did a lot of research on doctors and Melissa at the front actually recommended Dr Joe because my ears were pretty hard to fix, and she said he is the absolute best... What I really appreciate about Dr Joe is his realistic expectations and walking me though different options. The tip of my nose and the little hump were my main concern, but I really wanted to fix my ears since I would be under anyway. Let me tell you- these results surpassed my expectations and i cannot thank Dr Joe AND Melissa enough for helping me feel beautiful and secure with myself. 10/10 recommend. The recovery was actually not as bad as i had hyped it to be either, having the nurses be available by text was so nice and greatly appreciated. Side note- the office is great, from the front desk, the financing, doctors and nurses. This was also the first time that i didn't wake up sick from anesthesia.

Day of the procedure was smooth and easy. I got profuse apologies about any delays I experienced (always less than at the doctor, to be honest) and I felt very comforted by the fact that Dr. Precht considers the procedure complete when it's as perfect as possible, not when the clock says it's done. I got the same treatment in my procedure and I'm so delighted with the results. The attention to detail was amazing and my recovery was exactly as the team described. I even got a personal call at home to check on me. Will return if I ever need her again!

I've had a wonderful experience with Dr. Sowder on two different occasions. The first was years ago…read morewhen she was the plastic surgeon on call in the early morning of the day my son had been mauled by a dog. She not only did a beautiful job stitching up my son's injuries, she did everything in her power to bring him comfort and make his experience less stressful. She was able to calm two very anxious parents with thoughtful words and by reassuring us along the way. She explained everything she was doing to both our son and us so that everyone in the room was comfortable. Fast forward and years later I made a very personal decision to explant my breast implants. I was delighted when I discovered that Dr. Sowder was considered one of the top surgeons in the area for explant surgery. She was thoughtful and comprehensive during my initial appointment. She answered every question I had before I asked it and was totally willing and able to give me the exact experience and surgery I was requesting. Her staff was amazing, comforting and insightful on the day of my surgery. She and her anesthesiologist were willing to work with me to do the survey and recovery totally narcotic free. It is now her standard! It's wonderful seeing a doctor choose to change her practice for the better of her community! I have nothing but love and respect for everything she has done for me!

I'm about 9 months out from having liposuction (belly, flanks, and neck) with Dr. Sowder…read more I interviewed several surgeons in the Seattle area, and unfortunately there still seems to be something of a suspicion of men as cosmetic surgery patients. Most surgeons' web sites don't mention men at all. Many sites are vaguely suggestive of ads for feminine hygiene products and feature photographs of creamy-skinned women loping through spring fields and bonding chummily over coffee. It's like a big "keep out" sign for men. So, Dr. Sowder's blog and office page were a real breath of fresh air. The material is down to earth and informative, and she talks about men in a number of different contexts. In person, she's pretty much exactly who you'd expect her to be from reading her blog: friendly, pragmatic, and clear with her recommendations. A lot of folks do cosmetic procedures of one sort or another, but I wanted someone who 1) was board certified in plastic surgery, 2) had a background in academic medicine, 3) did face and neck procedures, and 4) seemed comfortable working on men. Those criteria narrowed the field down to just 2 or 3 people in the Seattle metro area. (Actually, that's true even if you consider #1 and #2 alone - people enter this industry through a lot of different paths, and board certification is not as common as you might assume.) Of course, credentials and demeanor don't mean diddly-squat if you're not happy with the actual work. Like other reviewers, I can only relate my own experience, and it's important to keep in mind that a variety of accessory factors affect the outcome. I think I was a particularly good candidate for the procedures I had, and I've been pretty good about exercising and eating well over the last couple of years, too. I'm hedging not because my results are equivocal but because they're actually absurdly good. Each area looks better than I had imagined possible. Of course, it's subjective: if you saw me on the street, you'd probably think, "Yeah, he looks OK for a middle-aged man." But from the inside, the experience has been really gratifying and transformative. It's surreal to find yourself suddenly living in a much nicer body. Just, please, don't go into Dr. Sowder's office and say, "I'm here because this random guy on Yelp said you'd make me look better than I ever imagined possible!" Two minor points: 1) I don't have the impression that pricing varies too much among providers, at least for the procedures I had. So don't be put off by Sowder's credentials. Her pricing seems quite competitive. 2) Sowder's office staff are excellent, and the office runs like a Swiss watch. All appointments were handled promptly, and the procedure itself was pretty much right on schedule. Again, this isn't necessarily a factor you'd put too much weight on a priori, but it's reflective of good management. And it does make the whole experience a lot smoother.

Dr. Mimi and her wonderful staff listened to what I wanted and got me the perfect shade and shape after only 1 visit! Now I can't even tell which one of my teeth is made of veneer because it blends in so perfectly with the rest of my mouth. Dr. Mimi's drive for perfection and her friendly and knowledgable staff really impressed me.
