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.

In terms of keeping an edge on "best kept secrets"...
In terms of keeping an edge on "best kept secrets" in beauty: I almost want to keep Dr. Hobgood my own secret. However, I'm so pleased with my experience that it is only fair to the doctor to write a review.
Over the years, I've seen at least a dozen different injectors. Most are "good" or at least good enough; but it is a whole new level when you get someone like Dr. Hobgood, who really understand aesthetics and the mechanics of the face.
AREAS TREATED: Cheeks and a little to the corner of the mouth. One syringe - 1.5 CC.
With just one syringe of Radiesse, I can see an excellent result to cheeks--can't stop looking in the mirror. We also put a little in the corner of my mouth, which has helped turn my frown upside down. That's not an easy task on the mouth, especially with Radiesse, which is my favorite product.
By comparison, in the past, by another injector, I've had twice the amount (3CC's) and was barely able to notice a difference.
One note: he is generally booking out a month or more in advance. This is my second visit to Dr. Hobgood. My first visit was a couple years ago and I forgot how good he was. I had tried to get in to see him, got impatient with the wait and then (regretfully) saw another injector who could get me in quicker. After today, I'm reminded that Dr. Hobgood is worth the wait.
Price is reasonable, which maybe explains the wait to get in.
A little bit about me: I've been doing fillers since they first started becoming mainstream, back in the 1990's--remember collagen? I've done fat transfer, Sculptra and just about every single Juvederm / Restylane product on the market (not a fan of HA fillers in general - I'm pretty dead set against them except for a tiny, tiny bit in the lips). Through trial and error, along with lots of research, I've come to trust Radiesse and Sculptra, but with both of these: expertise of the injector is a make or break.
Happy to answer any questions. I may post a couple photos if I can figure out how to disguise my identity :)

Excellent results. Very thorough, never rushes. I care much more about results than beside manner, but this doctor is excellent with both. PS Wait time in his lobby was almost zero. "Wait time" to get an appointment is not what this refers to.
