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.

If They Don't Call You Back, It's Your Lucky Day
A year ago today I had a lip lift by Dr. Talie. 15,000. In the days before the procedure ,last summer, flights were being cancelled. I had 2 flights cancelled and my B&B. On Thursday. My surgery was Monday at 6 am.
I was not allowed to talk to anyone in the office to try to reschedule or even make them aware of my dilemma. They were in the office but too busy to even call back.
I live far away but managed to piece together 3 flights to get there in time. I had planned to get there the day before, get comfortable and prepared. Instead, I was exhausted, dirty, worried I wasn't going to make it and lose my 15,000. What doctor will not take your call or questions before surgery? Anyway, I'm sitting outside, on the hallway floor for a long time before I figure out where I should be. No one told me where to be or knows who I am. I'm the first surgery of the week. I do the best I can to clean up after 20 hours of airports. Then the Dr. Comes in, can't even look at me or talk to me as he takes pictures. Had me take a valium although I wanted to be awake. I was directed to the chair, he introduced his student, then walked around the chair looking at me with disgust. Turned to his student, the nurse and whoever else was in the room and made a show of shuddering in revulsion as he turned to me.
Sadly, the Valium or whatever else he may have given me kicked before I could say, Stop, never mind, I'm leaving.
I woke up to him saying" I did a corner lift, too."
I never had a chance to see or speak to him again. Someone took stitches out in a couple days, then the last ones on Friday. I asked if i could ask the Dr a question but "No, we don't want to bother the Dr."
When I had the last stitches out I asked to make my follow up appointment. No. They would not make any follow up appointments. I was told told I "could stop by sometime if I was in LA again."
I called concerned about healing a couple weeks later. Veronica said,you should talk to the Dr. But I heard someone tell her No, she could not let me talk to the doctor.
So. I have ugly scars where I didn't ask for the corner lift. Bad healing by my nose. And an ugly Joker look, at best.
Worse than the ugliness or the 15 000 waste is how incredibly bad he has made me feel by his breath taking rudeness.
