I love Dr. Mowlavi! My mom has been a patient of his for a really long time. I met him when I was helping her during after her surgery. My mom has had a lot of surgeries (disc replacements, knee replacements etc etc) and Dr. Mowlavi is by far her best doctor!!! He really cares about her and has spent a lot of time checking up on her after her surgery - even more than a year after her surgery! He did a fantastic job on her surgery. I think my mom wants another procedure just so she can go hang out with him some more ;)

My mom bought me a facial from his esthetician once which was wonderful - if you're going in for an appointment ask if Jessica is there for a little pick me up! She recommended I try microneedling for my skin. After microneedling my skin was way healthier looking and plump.

I have bought a few of the cosmetic products they sell in the office - my friend was telling me about osmosis, and I saw it at the office and had to try it! My old moisturizer wasn't working that well - Osmosis is cheaper than what I was using and works way better. I have also tried the eye serums for lash growth which I think works well too, I didn't notice how well until I ran out and my eyelashes stopped being so thick - I need to go back and get more soon!

I bought botox for my mom for her birthday one year, and her migraines went away for awhile! Since I get migraines too I asked Dr. Mowlavi if botox would work for me (I am young still and don't really need botox yet...although I hear its good to start before you get wrinkles). Dr. Mowlavi was way sweet and offered me a discount on the botox so I could try and it see how my headaches feel. Man, I haven't felt this good in a long time! I normally get one or two headaches a week, but I haven't had any since he did the botox!

Overall, Dr. Mowlavi is one of the most generous and caring surgeons around. I spent a lot of time sitting around his office waiting for my mom's appointments to finish, and I saw some of his patients do some really crazy stuff. I don't know how he does it. He has insurmountable patience for patients.

That's great, thank you for your post! How many injections did you get for the migraines?

I've gone twice now, I will need it again soon but it is expensive out of pocket. He checked with my insurance to see if they would cover Botox for migraines (I guess a lot of insurance companies do!?!) but my insurance isn't that great and they won't cover it under any circumstance.

Where the heck do they inject the botox for migranes?? It's curious, but when I put a piece of tape between my eyes it helps stave off headaches..
