I found Dr. Cory Torgerson while I was browsing online and decided to give them a call. They were very friendly and found me a convenient slot for my free consultation. When I arrived, I was placed in a room where then Michelle entered and introduced herself. I explained my reason for being here and she was very knowledgeable and understanding of my situation. She recommended I do co2 laser resurfacing in order to remove my deep acne scars. I abruptly agreed and we set a date for my surgery. Before I left, she gave me a booklet of detailed instructions of all the things that needed to be done. It was actually easy to comprehend.
On the morning, I was extremely nervous because I didn't know what to expect.. When I arrived, Michelle noticed my anxiety and she reassured me that everything will be okay. I felt alot better after I spoke to her. Before the procedure, Dr. Torgerson himself, took me into the room and asked me again is there any questions or concerns before we begin the surgery. He also asked if there are certain areas or details I would like for him to emphasize on. I thought that little gesture was awesome.
Heading into the surgery room, another doctor placed a needle into my right wrist and then I immediately passed out. When the procedure was over, I didn't even realize that it had finished.
My eyes was covered in a warm cloth and I could hear Michelle's gentle voice, asking how I am feeling and explaining to my fiancee what needed to be done. I told her I felt little bit of pain and she gave me a painkiller which helped alot. After I was placed in a wheelchair where a man pushed me all the way to my uber. Overall my experience was fantastic with Dr. Torgerson and Michelle. I am glad I chose to go with them for this procedure. I would call to asks questions and they always gave me answers and even checked up on me the next day.

Hi thank you so much for sharing! How is the healing coming along and do you feel (thus far) if the procedure was worth it?

To be honest, the scars looks a little worse than before (deeper) but this normal until the collogen rebuilds.

I hope you don't hyper pigment like I did after that. It took a year to rid myself of the patches of what looked like dirt on my cheeks. That started about 6 weeks after the laser.
