- 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.

Disappointing Experience with Dr. Michael P. Lafkas
After conducting thorough research, I found Dr. Michael P. Lafkas listed on this site as the only reference to his name and practice. Unfortunately, my experience with him left much to be desired. During my visit to his office at 347 Main Street Suite C, Seal Beach, CA on May 9th, 2024, I expressed concerns about the lines on the sides of my face. Despite his assurances that he would treat me as he would his mother, I found his approach insensitive and dismissive. As a woman not old enough to be his mother, I was taken aback by his comparison, as I am not much older than him. Moreover, his decision to administer Sculptra on my forehead, an area I had no issue with, and refusal to address the concerns I had about my lower face was concerning. The filler he injected left me with significant bruising on both sides, causing me to miss several weekend events and leaving visible marks even a week later. Most disappointingly, the treatment yielded no visible results, leaving me regretful of my decision to trust Dr. Lafkas. Trust your instincts and carefully consider your options before entrusting your appearance to him."
