Thrilled with my results! Dr. Kaltreider performed a singular lateral direct brow lift for me, due…read moreto a drooping brow after a childhood car accident. I consulted with many NYC plastic surgeons who all wanted to perform very invasive brow lift surgery, I did not need brow lift surgery just a singular eyebrow lift. Dr. Kaltreider was the only oculoplastic surgeon I could find who did direct brow lifts. Her office manager Cynthia was so helpful and knowledgeable and really one of the nicest people you will ever meet! Dr. Kaltreider and her nurse Jonni are so nurturing and caring and I felt totally comfortable and confident that I was going to have the best results and I did! Dr. Kaltreider really listened to me and did exactly what I wanted. She made sure I felt no pain and communicated with me the entire time. Jonni made certain to assist the doctor and keep me comfortable as well. It was almost like a spa treatment. I also had a small amount of xeomin placed in between my brows and Dr. Kaltreider placed only where I wanted. I totally understand that anytime you have a procedure where skin is cut you will have a scar and I was willing to trade a small scar for corrected eyebrow position, however, even after a few days my results look amazing and I know if I need any touchup or scar treatment that Dr. Kaltreider will do everything necessary to correct. I am so happy with my result and will travel from NYC to Virginia to see Dr. Kaltreider, Jonni and Cynthia for all my future eye and eyebrow maintenance. They are so warm and genuine and caring and I highly recommend anyone to go there!

Stay Away-charlatans-- These people are only interested in money. We did not even have an…read moreappointment with them, we are seeing an GYN doctor and on our way out they asked us if we wanted information. We said sure. We had no idea that information was going to cost over 600 dollars. They never once said it was an office visit, because it was not, they never once told us we would be charge anything. We were clear we were not going to pay anything for information. We have insurance but we were not sure if it would cover it. We told them from the start we were not willing to do anything till we knew about the insurance and I had to research more about what she was telling me I needed. She told me 50 percent of my vision was being impaired by my eyelid by a 3 minute test they give. She coached me on how to take the test. They brought us into another room and had us fill out papers they said "was only for insurance pre-approval". We told them then and with followup calls I was not sure I wanted any procedure and I would decide after I spoke to my insurance and did my own research. When I first saw the doctor I asked her if she had her eyebrows done she said no, I asked her assistant Lois and she said yes she did and so did the doctor. Why did the Doctor lie about her eyebrows? I began to feel uneasy with the situation and called in to let them know I was not comfortable with any of this. My husband called in about the bill we received and by the Assistant and the Doctor herself they both said "why does it matter you not paying it the insurance is". The problem is we were never told about any charge and the doctor told me by phone "its curious you want to know everything that is going on". That was the final straw and I cancelled everything with them, reported them to my insurance, reported them to Sentara, and Im reporting her to the medical board. The only thing these people care about is do as many surgeries as possible and make all the money you can and bill the insurance without the patient knowing what they are being billed for. I have found a new doctor and Im very pleased with her. I will post here as soon as I see her with the results of by eye light test and I bet it will not be 50 percent as Sara Kaltreider claimed. I will also see if I need Blepharoplasty upper eyelift and the brow Ptosis. After research and speaking to other medical professionals I was told that i did not need blepharoplasty but the eyebrow Ptosis would suffice. I called the office told Lois this and they pushed and pushed that I would need the Blepharoplasty too. I will find out for sure with my new doctor because I do trust the new doctor. I would not trust Sara Kaltreider with surgery or anything else. I found her to be dishonest and uses womens insecurities to capitalize on them. Well this woman is not insecure and I have only the interest of my vision. I suggest you search around. If you want someone who cares about you and not the money then stay away from Sara Kaltreider and her office minions. I have uploaded the bill that we never were told anything about and the eye test she gave me. In January I will see my new doctor and I will post the comparison. Till then, stay away from this place. Get a second opinion.

Rosinsky and Franklin are good doctors…read more They know what they are doing, have friendly bed side manners, and diagnose accurately. The only con is I live in Charlottesville, and find getting out there for a contaxts lens exam (40 min roundtrip on just the driving) with a follow up to check the contacts (again, another 4p just on the drive) is too much for a busy mom and business owner. And, i got my eyes dilated, and after 2 years of being a patient they HAD to sign a new waiver that said exaxtly what the old thjng said - payment due, right to privacy - but with dilated eyes you couldnt read anything. After repeating this 3 times to the receptionist she read it it to me (which took 10 min). It could have waited. That was Michelle - she needs a course in the customer experience. The 5 star is for everyone else. I had to schedule up a 10 min follow up appointment for the contact lens check up, and its 2 weeks our or 3 weeks. Thats just frustrating. My eyes are healthy. Just give me my dang contacts. ****update****When i expressed my discontent with the wait time as a long time client, they squeezed me in before a plane trip, which is cool. I spoke with Kelly in the reception who helped make that happen - that woman is a good addition to the office.
