(answers:373)
Everything was wonderful
#12026-01-20There's nothing better, u already doing well.
#22026-01-12I checked off compimentary consultation with aesthetician on the intake forms, but it wasn't mentioned and I forgot to ask during the examination.
#32025-08-25I do not believe there is a need to improve.
#42010-11-01 14:00:26I was dissapointed when my appointment was cancelled because of the snow. I had to wait 6 weeks to get another appointment. I wish that I could have been worked in sooner.
#52011-03-11 14:29:03I wish the aesthetician was available earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon to accomodate working women.
#62025-10-19before prescribing a very expensive treatment, inform the patient you are doing so.
#72025-06-08Just continue to be as thorough and caring as my experience today. Quite like a breath of fresh air!
#82025-05-06Please send out paperwork in advance for pediatric patients
