Dr. Meyer is a lovely person. As soon as she heard I was having an issue, she did her best to make things right immediately.
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Sep 8, 2022Previous reviewI used to really appreciate Dr and her staff. Even when other people complained on Yelp, I defended Dr and her staff. Unfortunately things have changed. Communication and record-keeping are now non-existent. Saw the Dr in 4/22 and her staff charged me $150.00 and didn't provide an actual bill so I couldn't submit to insurance. Then, when I tried to get a refill for my inhaler, they kept denying it because they said they needed to see me first. They had no record of my seeing the Dr and charging me for the office visit. I have been trying for months to get my records so I may go to another Dr and I am getting nowhere.

Terrible customer service. During the height of the pandemic her hours were changed making it next to impossible for me to schedule an appointment. Would not extend my time period for my appointments, use it or lose it! I am told the Doctor is not very good to her employees! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH HER, so many other businesses that provide the same services.

By far the worst customer service from the owner. DO NOT PURCHASE packages from this business as she does not fulfill the procedures you pay for. BAD BUSINESS..I repeat do NOT PURCHASE FROM HERE. She will lie and lie as to why she can't fulfill your appointment..complete bull

This place is horrible!! I don't know how they are still in business! They treat their customers horribly. This is a spa people, you're supposed to enjoy and feel good about going here! NOT! It's really sad. No common sense, no logic. My expired groupon was not accepted because Kelly said Groupon doesn't honor any groupons over a year. Not true. Even the lady speaking on the phone to me knew she was incorrect, but of course, wouldn't question anything. Just told me no, and basically go away. Very poor service. No thank you!

I'm sorry we couldn't give you a chemical peel in exchange for your expired Groupon. Your Groupon expired over a year ago and I was told by Groupon that I had fulfilled all my obligations toward them.It would have been easier if you had contacted us before the expiration. Sorry about that.

I have been going here for a couple of years and only because Kelly is amazing. If Kelly wasn't there then I probably wouldn't return I even bought a package for my husband and his results have been incredible as well as mine. Will be going back soon

Dr. Mayer has recently become my primary physician, and I'm glad she has. She's very personable and I have her complete attention. Even as one of the last appointments in the evening you can tell she genuinely wants to take time with you. The only downer - (or not, depending on how you see it) her office is also a medical spa so it can get busy and you might have to wait a bit.
Her staff is also pleasant and helpful. I recommend Dr. Mayer to anyone.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Lindsay T.Niles, IL05Mar 12, 2020
Cathy is AMAZING!!! I went here for laser hair removal. She made me feel so calm because I was nervous since it was my first time ever getting laser. She explained everything before she started the appointment and made sure that I was doing okay during the appointment. She took her time and she did a great job. I love her! I have recommend her to any of my friends that want laser.

My review was hidden go check it in not recommend reviews
2 weeks and still the doctor or office manager hasn't returned any calls from my daughter or myselfHelpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Dec 5, 2014Previous reviewThe Rating is Zero, Thee most UNPROFESSIONAL place I've ever dealt with in my whole life
Let me start by saying this was a gift cause just one look at the place and I would've walked out, your health and safety should come first it's just a very cheap cold looking office
But my reason for writing is my daughter left a messages everyday for 9 days! Yes 9
Doctor is the phone still out? Lol I seen you write that to someone you should help before your staff ruins your business
The worst staff ever thee rudest people
Lori put Kelly on the phone and she yelled at my daughter we do not return calls!!
Also Dawn and the Doctors secretary was soo rude got no where with them still waiting for the actual doctor to call, never happened
Do Not recommend this place. - Rachel H.Mission Viejo, CA4940Aug 1, 2014
I wish I could give them ZERO stars. I made the huge mistake of buying a groupon from them for 3 areas of laser hair removal. I have had more than 7 appointments of mine cancelled on me for various ridiculous reasons. The receptionist Lori is the WORST receptionist I've ever come into contact with. I called to tell her that I'm running late for my appointment That was rescheduled bc of their canceling and she hung up the phone on me with a very nasty attitude that they wouldn't see me if I was late. When I arrived Lori spoke to me as if I was a 5 year old child being punished. She grabbed her bag and told me they were closed...at 4pm?! I call bullshit.
If this isn't enough to avoid doing business with them, then maybe their actual service will. As far as their laser equipment, it sucks. They have 2 machines, and you can't decide which one they use. They're both old and outdated. I've done laser hair removal at other medspas and none of the equipment has made my skin evoke smoke and smell like fire. I could straight up see smoke coming from my skin. And the other laser equipment hurts like hell from the zap. I've had that equipment at other places but they put a gel on your skin to avoid the shock. Not these guys. Cheap as they come.
Don't buy that tempting groupon. Don't.Helpful 8Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - H K.Chicago, IL131301Apr 3, 2013
Like many others bought a Groupon.
Initially the place was disorganized, that issue did resolve over time.
My biggest complaint here is their laser hair removal is absolutely pointless. You might as well throw your money down the toilet. The laser hair removal techs as nice as they were BOTH assured me that six sessions is all I would need and that that using two different lasers would indeed provide the best results. Overtime I kept saying the hair is growing back the same and they BOTH kept reassuring me that just wait until the sixth session for the full results. Well at the last and final session the tech tried to sell me an additional package and changed her tune and stated six sessions is never enough to see results! I reminded her of the previous conversations we had and she just stared at me with a blank look.
This place makes promises they can't keep and is a complete waste of time and money. I have friends that have gone to different places and have much better results.
My only advice is to look at the reviews of so many others on the so-called med spa and go someplace else; this place is a complete let down.Helpful 10Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
