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.

This will be my first experience with...
This will be my first experience with Coolsculpting. I've previously been treated for depression and the medication has unfortunately made me gain weight. I've been eating well (salads, fruits, etc) and staying active (exercise 5 days/week). Yet I am still struggling with unwanted fat in my mid section. So I've decided to try this procedure.
Prior to the consultation, I was nervous because it's a big decision and a large purchase. Laurie, the Aesthetic Coordinator, took me into a private room and we went over what my goals were and how many cycles that would include. We decided on 2 cycles: on the lower abdomen in the shape of an overlapping V. Then Dr. Miller came in to assess. He was very professional who let me explain what I was looking for without interrupting. He then looked at my tummy, lower abdomen and upper, and spoke with Laurie about how to apply the cycles. They worked together and toyed with the idea of including my upper abdomen but looked at the bigger picture and saw that it was hidden well in the present curves of my waist. He agreed on the 2 cycles in the shape of a V.
I then threw a wrench into it and said I was unhappy with my outside hips as well. He explained to me how it wasn't really my hips (somewhat of an illusion) and that it stemmed from my lower back. He pulled back the parts he was trying to explain in the mirror and I saw what he meant. It would have looked off if it was placed on my hips. So he decided I could benefit from an additional 2 cycles; one on either side of my lower back.
After he left, Laurie went over the pricing. She didn't push me into getting my back done but rather showed me what the cost would be and let me make my own decision. They had a June special for $100 off the procedure, so it came out to be $2800. She said if I came again in the future, I'd get a discount for any cycles.
My appointment is scheduled for tomorrow after work just for my tummy with the option to do my back as well if I feel like it. I'm quite nervous and keep looking at everyone's results hoping that those will be my results as well.
I'll keep everyone updated on my progression!

1 Day After Procedure
It's been a day after and it's pretty much what I've expected after reading all the reviews.
The procedure was uncomfortable but not excruciating, which is to be expected. The machine sucked the part we were treating and immediately started cooling. The lairs taking care of my procedure made sure I was comfortable with propping up my back and head. At one point, I felt like I could fall asleep. We treated one flank and the opposite side abdomen at a time so I only sat through 2 sessions.
My stomach and back are not bruised but they are a bit swollen and painful. It feels like an extreme pins and needles sensation. I'll be doing Aerial Silks tonight which requires wrapping silk around myself so hopefully it won't be unbearable. Will update again!

Provider Review
Dr. Normand Miller and Laurie McGreor, Aesthetic Coordinator: Dr. Normand Miller is a fantastic guy. He is very patient and honest in what he believes will create good results. I had one procedure of Coolsculpting done and thinking about going back for another one. I think my results are great and contribute that solely to his experience.
