I had my first ever lip-filler experience with Dr. Chang yesterday and it was everything I could…read morehave hoped for! He took the time to sit down with me and discuss exactly what I was trying to achieve beforehand and offered suggestions when I needed them. During the procedure he made me feel very relaxed, and the numbing cream was fantastic--barely any pain.

I saw Dr. Chang at his Fairfax office and he and his staff were absolutely fantastic, from the…read morefront desk to the nurse. I'm easily the biggest chicken when it comes to anything needle related, so you can imagine that going in for fillers was no easy feat for me. Dr. Chang and his staff were able to insert humor into the situation, exhibiting nothing but friendliness and a comforting bedside manner. Highly recommend him if you're considering fillers, particularly if you're a first timer and a little (or a lot) on the scared side like me. A+ for sure! Worth mentioning a second doctor whose first name was Kelly, though I did not get her last name. She was incredibly kind and comforting as well, popping in at the end of my procedure with an ice pack and some reassurance that I wasn't the only needle-averse patient (read: big baby) to walk through their doors. Thank you, Dr. Chang and team!

I highly recommend Bruno|Brown for facials. Jennifer is amazing! She was polite, knowledgeable, and…read moreprofessional. She provided recommendations based on a thorough analysis of my questionnaire and an visual assessment of my skin. The experience was highly customized and tailored to my needs. After the facial, my skin was smooth, clean, and totally glowing. It was such a relaxing facial. Jennifer took her time and really worked to ensure that I was comfortable and relaxed throughout the experience. I can't sing Jennifer enough praises. I hope to return soon! As for the office, it was immaculate! Modern furnishings and equipment. Very clean. The receptionist was very pleasant and polite. I highly recommend Bruno|Brown. World-class customer service

Review sent to the office manager…read more "After today's visit I was obligated to submit my review to you, Yelp, Google Reviews, ZocDoc and Better Business Bureau. Below are some highlights from my experience: - Initial appointment w/ Dr. Brown: Overall it was an ok appointment. I had to ask how much the treatment he had planned was going to be (this was my first time getting botox and filler). No before and after photos were taken (I requested for ones be taken of my nose so I could see the difference). Majority if not all practices take before and after pictures to show the patient what was done and to show the results (patient satisfaction). Additionally, I never signed a treatment plan- that is unheard of. I consider this a liability for your practice! o No f/u appointment was scheduled. I currently work in a hospital and have worked in a clinical office AND have friends who work in plastics and they were all surprised when a 2 week f/u appointment was not offered or scheduled. These appointments are scheduled to f/u with the patient and see how they feel about the results and if needed do "touch-ups" as a courtesy. o I had to request to schedule my next botox appointment (end of October) the reception did not even ask me or suggest it. This would have been a perfect opportunity for her to promote the $50 credit if I booked my future appointment today. Thank goodness I asked. - Second appointment with Jennifer: She is awesome! I purchased a new skin care regime with her guidance! 5 stars for her! - Third appointment (today): When I called to make this appointment (mind you this was the earliest date available) I had a conversation with the receptionist stating that I was looking for a touch-up since I was not satisfied and expected better results. I made it clear that a touch-up would be considered as courtesy visit- she agreed and said it our practice offers courtesy touch-up appointments. o During my visit, I had a conversation w/ Dr. Brown about my concerns and that I was expecting better results. He did not mention how many more units he was going to do or how many filler syringes he intended to use. I figured he would do this out of courtesy. Time to check out I was asked to pay ~$1,260.00 I was surprised and told the receptionist I thought this was a courtesy visit. She stated initial appointment as in July and the touch up timeframe had passed. I told her it is because this was his soonest appointment. She stated she spoke with you to see if you could do anything regarding my situation. Below are the requests I stated: I thought this appointment was considered a touch-up appointment. Despite no discounts being offer, I requested for the filler syringe to be discounted to $850 instead of $900 since this was technically my third syringe. Request denied by the manager. Despite not knowing how many units of botox were used, no discount was offered. Overall, horrible experience with the office. No photos nor treatment plan was provided. No discounts on the third appointment were offered. Most offices, due to the miscommunication, would provide me a discount or charge me at cost prices- neither was offered or granted. Please go ahead and cancel my future appointment, because I have no intentions on returning to this office nor do I plan on referring any friends or family here."

For a number of years, I've had issues with dark circles and some hallowing under my eyes. After…read moredoing a good amount of research, I decided to move forward with scheduling an appointment at The Naderi Center in Chevy Chase MD, with Dr. Kulak. I had fillers injected into my tear troughs in 2019 and I was very pleased with the results. I returned to the Naderi Center in March 2023 to refresh my eyes before my birthday. Needless to say, I am once again very pleased with Dr. Kulak. She was able to quickly assess and determine what was needed to give my tear troughs a nice refresher. I especially appreciate that Dr. Kulak simply gives me what I need, and doesn't place too much volume in my troughs. As an aside, I know a few people who have (at least in my opinion), too much volume from their fillers and it doesn't look natural. Since I like the natural look that Dr. Kulak provides, I will be returning, when the filler dissolves and I need another refresher. The actual procedure took a very short time, but the great results were immediate. I have always been told that i look very good for my age, but the injections took at least 5 years off and makes me look as though I get plenty of sleep each night (which I don't). As an added bonus, I did not have any real bruising from the injections. If you are thinking about getting fillers in your tear troughs, I definitely recommend Dr. Kulak. It may seem like a simple procedure, but whenever one gets fillers or undergoes any medical procedure, it's always best to go to a very skilled physician, who can give you the results that you want. Overall, it was a great experience. Regarding the office staff... The main office staff is very professional and polite, but if I could offer any advice, I would tell the assistant (who numbed my tear troughs), not to harp on the pricing with patients. I'm not sure if that is an office policy and part of her job, but I received the information ahead of time, from the office, via text (which included the latest pricing for services/procedures). The assistant who numbed my tear troughs mentioned that the price went up and it wasn't the same price that I paid in 2019. I was aware that the price went up and didn't care. It was a non issue for me, but I did not appreciate her belaboring the point, especially since I had not asked her any questions about the pricing.

My nostrils are uneven, with one higher and more curved, and I have near-complete obstruction on the left side due to middle vault collapse.

Two ENTs and several plastic surgeons have since confirmed nasal valve collapse and structural weakness.

Worst bedside manor I have ever experienced as a doctor. I had to get a mastectomy and chose to do…read morereconstruction hoping to remain looking like myself and nothing more. I told her many times that I did not want to be bigger than I was. Once it was finished and I was at my post-op she said "I had hoped to make you bigger but it wasnt safe" which shows she didnt listen to me at all and I am indeed bigger than I wanted. I have young children including a baby and work at a daycare and she had to advice about how to help prevent damage or injury with little ones. Luckily I had a nurse who was able to help with suggesting protective pillows, etc. As I mentioned I told her each time I had a baby. The whole time I was told no lifting more than 10 pounds for 6 weeks. I planned for 6 weeks to have help from family and friends. At my post-op at 6 weeks she said everything looked good. I said "Ok so I can lift my 25 lb baby now" She said no, you want to wait 3 more months to lift that much weight. I said "Thats something you should've told me before." She rudely replied "Would that have changed anything?" YESSSS I wouldnt have done this part of it! Luckily I have had 4 cousins who have gone through reconstruction (with different doctors) and each of their doctors said 4-6 weeks and then they could lift their children, babies, costco groceries, etc. No one ever said 3 months, she is just afraid of being sued. Not to mention, one of my breasts is dented a bit. Would NOT recommend.

In requesting this consultation- I had no idea that Dr. Feledy would only provide a consult and refuse to treat/take me on as a reconstructive patient. I was approved for two appointments. The first appointment went okay, but the second appointment when I asked him to take over my care.... He told me no one in this area would operate on me because I was already operated on at Walter Reed- despite me telling him of a bad experience I had and no longer being able to trust the military surgeons. I also mentioned I was interested in perusing autologous reconstruction; Dr. Feledy's response was that no civilian practice would perform an autologous reconstruction for me because "Tricare doesn't reimburse enough." I really feel this is unethical and shows that the focus is not to help the patient- it's on the reimbursement

Unfortunately I ended up with a poor result with permanent rhinitis and headaches, uneven nostrils and a pug nose that requires over $20k to revise. I use fillers to get enough projection to wear eyeglasses every two years. I wanted to still look like part of my family. That's the greatest irony because we all identify as African American.

How can one make critical decisions if they don't understand the underlying causes of a particular condition? My original doctor could not understand this concept and filtered me through like a chocolate on a conveyor belt assembly line with no ability to take responsibility for anything. As with most aspects of life, Dr. Albino's ability to perform well and also establish mutual respect and rapport with his patients is, imo, due to his love of his profession and well-being of his patients -- along with his willingness to continue to find solutions to any complication that arises. I've been through a lot of practices and Dr. A and all the members of his team (namely Kendy and Angel) whom I've interacted with, are above the rest . His skin care specialist, Martha, is spectacular, too.

I wanted a DIEP Flap and my surgical oncologist at Johns Hopkins said he was the best of the best. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with breast cancer again a couple of weeks later during the final checks to clear me for surgery. Dr. Albino went above and beyond to ensure my comfort during treatment by removing my old implants and replacing them with new, smaller ones on my request followed by a DIEP Flap about a year later after I fully recovered. All I can say is that my quality of life changed exponentially. I have the most amazing, natural and soft breasts again! I look and feel amazing. I'm comfortable in my own body. That's a testament to a truly gifted surgeon who listens to and empathizes with his patients to ensure their happiness with the ultimate outcome. His skill is only exceeded by his compassion for his patients. He treated a dear friend of mine who lost her cancer battle. He made arrangements to see her outside of normal office hours to reduce her risk of getting exposed to COVID. When she passed, he and his staff mourned her loss with her family and friends. I can't recommend Dr. Albino and his staff strongly enough for superlative breast surgery and care!

Prices fluctuated for no reason and without warning; my face work wore off a year later (was supposed to last a decade), giant scars under my ears; at a certain point, when you have spent more than a down payment on a nice house, they decided that they no longer wanted my money and literally refused to treat me. I am not an irrational person. I have a disability which makes exercise impossible and am on a medication which makes me gain weight without eating. Apparently Dr. Singh is tired of seeing me undressed or something. I also was wrapped so poorly after the third round of corrective lipo that I was forced to buy medical wraps online. Did I mention that the policy changed from providing a medical grade garment that you can't take off for 4 days to a week to "buy your own?" The prices vaccillate depending on mood. A small touch-up could be 3k. I have keloid scars all over the back of my legs. Areas of the body are randomly changed. And they decide when you are happy with the results by making you ashamed for not being grateful with your current body. The customer is not always right, basically. I don't see the danger in going back in for maintenance work (and I've always paid whatever random price that hour held without complaint) and am not expecting miracles. I am the literal perfect candidate for lipo. It is made for people who cannot lose weight with diet and exercise. I eat clean, exercise, and unfortunately have no metabolism thanks to lengthy steroid use due to a suppressed adrenal gland. So, if you want to feel like a bad person for asking for lipo, and to progressively be treated with less and less care and respect, this is for you! I'm not posting pictures because even after all the money I've spent, and my reasonable expectations (skin will not snap back, fine. Will not look 19, fine. Just want to be able to wear one smaller pants size), I don't feel comfortable with the scarring. I'd love to sling more money at them, but I'm not allowed. Oh, and yet they will not recommend a different practice. Dog in a manger? ​
