They may dispute a review and choose not to display it in their profile, but the review will be counted towards their average star rating and appear under the treatment reviews section and on the reviewer's profile.

Featured Patient Reviews
“Great 1st Time Botox Experience - Houston, TX”
"I went in for Botox for the first time and was a bit nervous. Dr. L was very thorough in his explanation of the process, expected results and post injection care. He answered my questions and concerns. Although the procedure was quick, he made sure to talk me through each step and didn't deny that it will sting and can be slightly uncomfortable. Knowing that for a treatment as commonplace today as Botox, I received this level of care and professionalism, any future needs, cosmetic or necessary, will definitely have Dr. L at the top of my list."
“Love my Tummy Tuck & Lipo - Houston”
Tummy Tuck
"Dr. L is very detailed. He took twice the time as other doctors to explain each step of the tummy tuck/lipo process to me, which was very important. I really trust him and couldn't be happier with my results.
One thing to note: His practice is not "flashy" like the doctor that did my lift (which was a negative to me at first); however, I am so thankful I went with less flash and a doctor I trust completely that delivered great results!"
