I had botox injections for the first time approximately 4 months ago. Although I'm 45, I had never had a problem with wrinkles until the last year or so when I noticed my crows feet/laugh lines were becoming somewhat pronounced. The botox session was somewhat painful but only briefly; it was worth it, toughh, as I loved the effects! Doc told me to massage and work the areas in where she had injected; I did as instructed for the next 24 hours and within a day or two, the areas were smooth and wrinkle free. It's beginning to wear off now (as she said it would), so I plan to get another injection around each eye next week. The more often I have the injections, I was told, the longer the time period between them. So I plan on keeping up with the injections. I would recommend botox to anyone unhappy with their facial lines--but I would recommend they go to a licensed and good doctor!

I will down load my picture taken this morning first day of healing I am 58 and was very wrinkled so i am hopeing for the best.
I have been a patient in this office for over 20 years and my children also attend- well no more!!! I had an appointment yesterday and sat in the waiting room for 1 1/2 hours before entering an exam room! Then I had to wait there another 30 minutes before Dr Crowell and her assistant Sherri came in. They don't even want to hear your concerns or what reason you are there for. The Dr. did a quick skin check and then I started to ask her about something on my face and she goes to check for some medication. Never to return again!!! I had 3 other concerns I needed to ask her about and nothing. Finally the assistant came back in looking as if " why are you still here" and I explained that we hadn't finished the appointment and she looked all annoyed and said we would have to wait awhile until the Dr was finished with another patient! Well that time never came- next thing you know we are asked to go to the nurses desk and a PA came out to talk to me to try and address my concerns. I am no longer in the privacy of an exam room but in the public hallway at the nurses station. They say they are calling in prescriptions to some company and they will mail you them in 3 days. NO, I would like to go to my pharmacy and pick them up today. It makes me wonder what stake the good Dr. Has in that pharmacy! I was never able to address one whole issue that I was going there for and left in disgust. I will not be filling these prescriptions and will NEVER return to Dr. Crowell's inept and rude office- don't go!!!!
