Dr. Michalak is very knowledgeable and has a calming manner

I have been a patient of Dr. Michalak’s for nine years now. I was referred to him by a friend of mine to check some moles I was concerned about. I ended up having Moh’s surgery on my face for a basal cell carcinoma, which was far more extensive and scary than I anticipated, but the results were amazing – can barely tell the surgery was done! During the process, I was impressed by the professionalism and attentiveness I received and, after learning about other procedures to address sun damage and skin aging, I knew I would return at some point to try Fraxel. It took a few years to finally make an appointment, as I was very concerned about downtime during the recovery, not wanting to take time off work. Dr. Michalak and his team were very patient and thorough as they explained the procedure and what to expect afterwards. My skin is very sensitive and fair, so figured the recovery would be on the longer side, but that was not the case. The day of the procedure, my face looked like the worst sunburn you could imagine, and was hot and swollen. The next day, the redness was better but still definitely noticeable. The following day, I had meetings and I didn’t feel uncomfortable going out in public. I had two Fraxel treatments, the second one a month after the first and the recovery was similar. I was very pleased with the end results, as my skin looked much smoother and younger, especially around my eyes!

Dr. Michalak is very knowledgeable and has a calming manner that I appreciate. I never feel rushed, trust his opinion and continue to recommend him to friends.
