Dr. Amadi is an artist and a professional at making dreams a reality. I knew that if I wanted…read moresomeone making changes to my face (especially around my eyes!) that they had to be an expert in their field. And after lots of research and a couple different consultations, I chose to work with him. I strongly believe he's not only one of the best surgeons in WA, but also one of the best in the business. After reading all of the other stellar reviews of people who were ecstatic with their results and also reading about his impressive credentials, I was convinced. But our in person consult also told me that he was a confident surgeon who knew exactly what he was doing. I understood the risks involved in surgery as best as I could but also knew that if anyone was going to get it right, it was going to be him. And I'm so glad I did. I would highly suggest reading as many detailed reviews as possible and doing extensive research on any procedure you intend to have. There are so many reasons people may want to elect to have a surgery but if you've made it so far as to be ready to pull the trigger on it, just make sure your fully prepared. One thing to keep in mind is that while you will look AMAZING weeks or even months later, you will have to be patient with your results until then. Very patient. It is hard to go into something wanting to look and feel better but to actually look and feel worse until you've fully healed. But that is a part of the process and the commitment that surgery takes. You will be so happy you did this, but the results aren't exactly instant. You have to commit to healing. Take care of yourself and do everything Amadi suggests. He is a wise and skilled professional who's pre and post of care instructions are there for good reasons. And if you have any questions, ask! Ask ALL the questions! You are spending good money on this and you deserve to have every resource available to you. And his team will gladly help you. I must've called so many times about questions...and they promptly and patiently answered all of them with care and kindness. He and his team are there to make you as happy and comfortable as they possibly can, utilize them and they're knowledge. My life is so much better after Dr. Amadi's help. I finally look my age and my face reflects my health and happiness. I no longer waste time and money on creams that were never going to solve the real issue. I no longer stress about taking photos. And my confidence has seen a huge boost! The difference is subtle to everyone around me but also huge. To my friends and family, I simply look more refreshed and rested, but to me, I finally look and feel the way I've been wanting to for a very long time(even though I'm still very young). You're never too young or old to do something like this for yourself. If you are considering working with Dr. Amadi and his team, congratulations, you're making a wonderful decision and you won't regret it!

READ THIS this before setting up a consultation with Dr. Amadi!!…read more I'm very DISAPPOINTED with this practice! Dr Amadi & his practice reneged on an agreement they made with me. I was very specific in stating that I was exploring surgical procedures and I may not be able to accommodate a surgical procedure. I said I would only agree to spend $250 on a consult with him if I could use it toward a non-surgical procedure like injectables if I decided not to move forward. They agreed, and now, they are RENEGING on that promise!! They have no problem now that they have your money!! They've apologized for the misunderstanding, but will not make any exception or offer any kind of concession. So be clear, that when you give them $250 or more to have a consultation with Dr. Amadi, you will lose that amount if you decide not to do a surgical procedure or decide not to move forward with him. They will justify this action by saying he takes 1.5hrs of his time to consult with you. I did not dispute that. I was clear of the time he was spending but again, they said I could apply it to a non-surgical procedure. I thought this was fair because I kept the money in his practice. I was not asking for my money back. Aside from this, their front desk and Dr Amadi were nice. You have choices! Do your research and ask for their policies. Ask how they do their consultations. Get things in writing. As a sidenote, from my experience & opinion, 1.5hrs is not needed when you're just exploring options and doctors for the first time. You want to talk with other Plastic surgeons to get their inputs, costs and policies. Most of these intro level appointments have not been more than 30 to 60 minutes elsewhere. And if I wanted to explore further wi a doctor I booked another appointment. If Dr Amadi wants to run his practice this way, that's his choice. Just be very clear that you will lose that money if you choose not to do surgery with him.

I was referred to Dr. Holly Chang by a friend who absolutely sang her praises. Ironically, my…read morefriend ended up having her surgery done by a different surgeon--and after seeing my results, she told me she wished she had gone to Dr. Chang herself. From the very first consultation, I found Dr. Chang to be friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and generous with her time. She spent as long as I needed walking me through her recommendations and explaining what she felt would truly improve my appearance. I came in wanting to address droopy eyelids and to look more refreshed and youthful. Dr. Chang recommended an endoscopic brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning, and fat transfer from my abdomen to my face. It was a four-hour surgery. The first few days of recovery were tough, but I healed surprisingly quickly and was back out in the world within about 10 days, with minimal bruising and swelling. The results have been amazing. My face looks exactly like me--just refreshed, rested, and more youthful. Nothing looks overdone or unnatural, which was very important to me. I highly recommend consulting with Dr. Chang if you're considering eyelid surgery or facial rejuvenation. Her skill, judgment, and care truly show in the results.

I have going to Dr. Larrabee's office to see Lauren for many years. I know that when I need a…read morelittle something done, like IPL, facial hair removal or simply want to readjust my skincare I can trust Lauren to take care of me. I am a 48 year old female, and think I look pretty good, but, I was starting to notice some sagging under my chin (chicken neck) and it was making me self conscious. I consulted with Lauren and Dr. Larrebee and the conclusion of that consultation was either a lower face lift or Ultherapy(ultrasonic tightening). I weighed out both options, and went for the Ultherapy. First thing you need to know, is the process is at times painful, and there is a bit of discomfort. Lauren and her staff do everything they can to minimize the pain and or discomfort (painkillers, and distraction therapy) It's only been a few days since I saw Lauren for my Ulthera so, I can't tell how it's going to look as it takes several weeks to see the results, but I think I'm going to love the way my lower face turned out and will go back and have it done again when I need to. The one thing I really want you to know about Lauren, is that she is very knowledgeable, she takes time and does the research to find the right lasers, chemical peels and skincare products for the Larrabee center. I can go to any clinic, but when it comes to facial tweaking, Lauren is the only person I want working on me.

Dr. Larrabee performed Dermabrasion ~ 34 years ago at the newly founded Larrabee Center. He…read moreportrayed himself as experienced and proficient. This common procedure started bad and ended bad. He did not greet me before the surgery nor after the surgery. It was a botched procedure. Like I said, Larrabee told me he was experienced with Dermabrasion. In my view, he had never done this before or had such little experience, he did not know what he was doing. I am not the only one who feels this way with comments from dermatologists and plastic surgeons like, "... he didn't even 'feather out' a transition between treated skin and non-treated skin." Theodore Roosevelt: "To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society." Like all victims, I blamed myself for doing the wrong thing in selecting Larrabee as the person to work on my face. He left grooves, divots and deep scarres. It was truly a horrific outcome. Tax laws changed in early 1990s. The change made cosmetic surgery a non tax deductible item for federal 1040 tax returns. Many providers planned for the changes. Only the poorest planners ended up empty handed or with poor cash flow. Dermabrasion, which is a mechanical procedure, takes years of work and practice. You can't imagine how my life changed because of his lack of integrity. My face was permanently scarred. After 10s of thousands of dollars of treatments and procedures, I am not anywhere close to recovery either physically, emotionally, or financially. I can provide a letter from Larrabee in which he states that, "my age was the primary cause of any problems I may have." This is just not true.

Dr. Allegra has performed 3 procedures on my me. The first in my late 20's, I had monthly sinus…read moreinfections and had to pay out of pocket for the prescriptions due to some complications in insurance. My primary doc, Dr. Mary McGregor, said no more prescriptions until I saw Dr. Allegra, she called my hand. He took a look and scheduled surgery without hesitation. Within a couple of weeks I felt like a new person, I had energy, I didn't take a 4 hour nap after work, I could exercise, life was great. In my early 30s husband and I moved to Michigan for job advancement. While there I was exposed to black mold, it was in our home. I kept getting sicker and sicker, no medical person could figure out why I was sick. I will say the symptoms were odd and complicated. So one day my husband quit his job, came home and said we are going home (Seattle) and find out what is wrong with you. It sounds dramatic but until you are around black mold and get sick you can't understand. I could give details but I really don't want to, it was the sickest I had ever been to the point that I had severe hearing loss, which fortunately turned out to be temporary and many other symptoms. Dr. Allegra got me in quickly and had my sinuses scanned and I was off for surgery for the 2nd time. Anyone who has had this surgery knows recovery is not fun, but the very next day I felt so much better, my husband and I were so relieved and happy. The 3rd time which was a month ago it was to fix a deviated septum. I suddenly realized I couldn't breath through one side of my nose. After I mentioned this, my lovely daughter said that even from down the hall my snoring would wake her up, it actually woke me up too, my husband said he could hear me downstairs. I was a mouth breather! So off to see Dr. Allegra again. Today I am not waking anyone up, I can go up the stairs and not stop to catch my breath. Back to living fully thank you Dr. Allegra. Dr. Allegra came highly recommended to me and I would and have recommended him to friends who were thankful for the referral. He knows he stuff. Dr. Allegra is not the kill time talker, but gives you the time you need, he has a good bedside manner, he is much more work oriented, which is what I want in a doctor. He has a kind heart and cares for and about his patients. I hope not to have sinus surgery #4 but if that were to happened he would be the doctor to do it.

I had a torn eyelid, a cut tear duct, and a bad laceration on my upper cheek. The previous…read morespecialist didn't notice that my tear duct was cut through, despite my being sent to him for that explicit reason. The previous specialist also used such a thick gauge of stitches, that they began to immediately abraise my cornea after he initially stitched up my eyelid. I count myself extremely lucky that we happened upon Dr. Carey, as he was coincidentally in such close proximity. Dr. Carey's wonderful front desk got me scheduled less than 24 hours after our initial phone inquiry (72 hrs after injury). Within 5 minutes of my visit, Carey informed me that my tear duct had in fact been cut through, "I put the instrument in there and I can see it poking out." Dr. Carey got me scheduled for emergency surgery in the Univ Wash operating room that very same night. 8 hours later, after a one-hour surgery under full anesthesia, Dr. Carey restitched my eyelid with much finer permanent stitches (rather than the thicker dissolvable garbage from previous specialist). Now I could actually get relief from the non-stop scratching on my cornea. Dr. Carey stitched up my badly cut cheek like a master craftsman. He used tiny stitches and expertly line up both sides of laceration. It is now 5 months later and the injury is virtually invisible. And lastly, Dr. Carey ran a 3 inch plastic tube through my tear duct, stitching it in place, to preserve the opening of the canal for 12 months while it heals. In summary, I got excellent emergency surgery from an elite technician 36 hours after my initial phone call. Dr. Carey is in a whole different league regarding his skill set and execution. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.

Dr. Carey was so kind, calming, and wonderful throughout this whole process of getting this removed. His staff made everything seamless with scheduling, and answered any questions I had and were so kind when they could probably sense my panic at times about things. I'm almost 2 weeks out from him removing the mole and you can barely tell I had it taken off. I am eternally grateful for his care he has given me and feel so fortunate to have found him. Thank you Dr. Carey!
