Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

My nose looks florid because of sun exposure which has caused tiny broken veins. I've become quite aware of it, especially since it accentuates my nasolabial folds. Someone I trust implicitly recommended Broadband Laser with a dermatologist here in Brisbane - Dr Basit Mirza.
Dr Mirza advised me I couldn't have laser treatment without have a full-body skin-check first, to eliminate the risk of skin cancers. I paid roughly $200 for that.
I had an appointment booked for his nurse to treat my thread veins a few days later. During the treatment the nurse told me it can be difficult to assess the intensity my skin would need, therefore, if there were areas that did not respond I should come back and she'd do it again. She seemed uncertain about how well it would work and the treatment seemed rather vague and hit-or-miss.
I waited four days, could see no difference whatsoever to the redness on my nose, so rang the nurse. I told her the laser appeared to have done nothing at all. She said she'd speak to Dr Mirza. When she rang back she told me Dr Mirza said he'd told me it might take 2-3 treatments to see a result. Therefore if I wanted to see a result I needed to pay another $200-400. Well, since I could see ZERO improvement, do you think I felt like sending more $ his way, especially considering his laissez-faire attitude to my complaint?! No!

Provider Review
Dr Bazit Mirza's nurse
The story I was given after having paid was very different to his receptionist's story when I rang to enquire, which was that it was very likely I'd only need one treatment. If she hadn't told me that story I doubt I'd have made the appointment. I feel ripped off and would NEVER recommend his service to anyone. The treatment has done nothing at all to treat my thread veins. to be honest, this man seems only interested in money.
