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.

It was time to invest in the best for myself!
At the Center for Cosmetic Surgery and Medispa, I found the expertise I have long been looking for. I cannot recommend this practice strongly enough. First of all, I truly believe that Dr. Dean Kane is an artist who is truly invested in the successful outcomes of his patients. His talent, combined with the exceptional support of Dr. Lauri Kane and the rest of the staff made this the best experience it could possibly have been.
At 54, I was looking for a solution to help keep me looking my best. I was also trying to do so within the limited budget of a teacher salary. I had previously thought that my income would not allow me access this level of expertise. This had cause me to be unsatisfied with previous procedures from lesser providers. I now look back and cannot imagine that entrusted my face to anyone but the best. My procedure with Dr. Kane was truly money well spent and I will absolutely be back - as needed - in the future. However, the fact remains that I paid a price by not coming to Dr. Kane FIRST. Please consider this as you make your decisions and read on to better understand the current climate in “medispas” that confused me. Hopefully I can save someone else from making the mistakes that I did.
As an active member of the health and fitness community in our area, I have been influenced by the influx of independent medispas and the recent crossover into the legitimate healthcare industry. I had found this to be confusing, particularly as I sought to make choices regarding how allocate funds in my quest to look my best as I age. When you visit most medispas, the setting is often sufficiently clinical so that you feel you are getting real access to “medical” care. In my experience this did not prove to be true. With a typically non-physician based staff I feel that this type of providers is missing an essential component and consumers are not aware of this. In my case, the hardest lesson came when I sought solutions for the stubborn fat under my chin that persisted despite having lost weight. A nurse injector at my local medispa suggested two (double-dose each) courses of Kybella as well as multiple fillers throughout my face. All of this cost several thousand dollars - and of course the filler was not lasting. Furthermore, I did not need the filler based on the condition of my skin and did not even like the effects. After the Kybella, the fat was gone and my chin and neck were definitely slimmer, but no one had prepared me for the significant loose skin that would persist - and make me feel even older and more self conscious. I felt that I looked worse after these treatments and there was now no non-surgical way to correct the loose skin. So, in short I was not warned that I might be more in need of treatment after Kybella - or that there were other treatments that could replace the Kybella (neck lift, etc.). My fault for not seeking out a higher level of expertise or doing more research.
If I had just invested in myself from the beginning... If I had even booked a consult with Dr. Kane to see what his vision for me would be and how much that might cost! Which was not more than I wasted on non-effective treatments! I would have saved time, pain, and money - and had a much better outcome. I never imagined the feeling that would come from looking in the mirror and knowing that I truly looked my best. With one glance, Dr. Kane could see a better me and he helped to bring that version forward. He also explained the process every step of the way, answering all my questions, easing any worries (Although there were few because I was so well prepared throughout.) This is where I am today after having had a neck lift with platysmaplasty (and liposuction and threads) to my face and neck. I now have the outcome I wished for - and more.
Most importantly, I realized that the money that I was trying to save by going to an independent medispa came at a cost, not a savings. I did not achieve the results I wanted - and I lost so much money in the process.
I particularly wanted to post this review for others, like myself, who may be confused by the current climate in cosmetic care and feel that they can’t afford consult the best. I have absolutely no regrets in having come to Dr. Dean Kane and only wish I had done so sooner! I will continue to come to this practice, having now learned that this is not an area in my life where I want anywhere best the best medical advice, and where sacrificing this does not prove beneficial!
