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.

OK so after a lot of research and going back and forth and reading... And rereading... The reviews I decided to for a consultation for ulthera.
I read the bad and the good and the.. Eh. I was scared because of the bad reviews and worried about the eh reviews too because I didn't want to waste money... But mostly I was afraid when I read some of the horror stories.
Many people believe that the bad stories are planted by competitors and some believe the same about the good ones as well.. So where does that leave you and I? Well we have to sift through the wreckage and make a decision. I really put thought into all this and what I have come up ...
I think many of the reviews on both sides are valid and true... I think many people have been hurt and many have had not too much improvement and many have had amazing results. I think most of the difference lies in who does it. And I don't think that just because someone is an MD or PS it will guarantee anything. Sure it's better to have a doctor then a technician... However.. I have had some very very bad doctors. I can go on and on about that.. But I won't because I will get off topic. Maybe I'll submit some more reviews so you can see what I have been through.. It's God awful.
So I believe.. Now more then ever.. It's totally dependent on who does this procedure and research is vital to find that person.
With all this in mind.. When I read about Dr. Shanthala Shivananjappa after moving to the area, I figured a consult couldn't hurt.
I was impressed with the time she took to eleviate any concerns plus knowing she herself had the procedure done made me feel better. She is very beautiful.
I was immediately put at ease and decided that I would roll the dice.
I am very happy I did. It was exactly what I needed and I have complete trust in her. If you meet her you'll see why I say that.. I have also since had fillers and botox and plan on having more.
The results so far have been great and I look forward to even more improvement. I can see how this is not a cure all for everyone but... It certainly gave me exactly what I was looking for and I believe this doctor would have definitely steered me away if she felt it would not work for me. She is that honest... And it's a great therapy.. Just please please do your research before doing this with just anyone. Thank you for all your help Shanthala Shivananjappa!
