Rachel "Raquel" V.'s Profile

I saw Ella with my Basset Hound who has had a leg amputated due to cancer and severe arthritis. Ella has a great demeanor with animals and I believe the treatment is effective for pain management. She also will cook up a concoction of herbs for you and your animal! It's worth a try if you or your pet has pain or other ailments.

I have had numerous visits to SFVS in the last year due to some major ortho issues my Basset Hound, Dolce has been having. First being a torn ACL that required repair, for which I chose the tightrope procedure. Unfortunately, during the surgery Dr. Watt found and removed a small tumor on Dolce's knee. We sent it off to the lab and hoped for the best. Long story short, the tumor ended up spreading to her bone within a few months. My dog is 12 and I've had her since she was 6 weeks old, needless to say, I cry every time I think about not having her around. After much thought and discussion with Dr. Watt, I decided to have the amputation surgery. Dr. Watt is a brilliant surgeon and I can't thank him enough for saving her life. So far, so good. Now I have a 3 legged-Basset who turns lots of heads at the dog park (Ha) but she is healthy and happy to be mostly pain-free.  The staff has been very professional, especially Justin and Dr. Watt's assistant, Chris. I ask a zillion questions and Dr. Watt has always been very patient and gracious with me. Sure it's expensive, my bill was 8K-but I want the peace of mind that my Doctor is considered the best at what he does.  Besides, I did my homework and other vets performing the same procedures cost just as much.  So why not go to the best? No brainer.

If you need some FAB-u-lous blonde locks, you must try Brielle at Alcheme. She is beautiful blonde herself, and knows how difficult it is for most get exactly the right color blonde-not too platinum, not brassy...just right. She'll weave in a few magic golden colors, and guaranteed you will look and feel like a whole new you!!  She also gives a great cut..all this at half the price I have paid at other Union Square salons! Looove it!!

My best friend and I make an annual trip to SoBe Miami, some years 2 or 3. This club is a guaranteed great time. I am intoxicated by the lights, great beats, hot people and general vibe here. I love the attitude in Miami-everyone is so uninhibited and hedonistic. I have met some of the coolest people in SoBe. Very laid back and not pretentious like you hear. It's just a great place to escape to-Vegas is lame in comparison. Drinks here are at least 20 bucks, but I don't think I've ever paid for a drink here. You can also go to the front of the line,ask for a sexy European named Stefan-he might just let you slip right in.

Oh-almost forgot to mention-once I saw a midget dancing on the bar here so that was really cool.

This place is overrun with riff raff, scummy ravers sucking lollipops rolling on E and some of the ugliest people I have ever seen. I have never felt so out of place at a club in my life. I love house music so my friend who lives in Miami took me there to see Deep Dish during WMC.  I was approached no less than 10 times by freakers looking to buy drugs-i guess I looked like a drug dealer cuz I was wearing decent clothes! HA Just Nasty!

I have been here so many times..used to live in Vegas and this is one of the best restaurant bar scenes there is. Loud music, hot people, great food, tasty drinks. be prepared to drop a wad of cash-but it's worth it!!

I'm a bit of a spa junkie, and I love this place! I was always hesitant to try BW because of it's location in the MALL-Ugh- I abhore mall shopping.  But I finally broke down and tried the chiropractor here. Great idea-but it hasn't taken off well for them. I get to use the facilities for free, with a chiro visit that my insurance pays for. Awesome. Eucalyptus steam room, spa, chill room and sauna.  They think of all the little things here.  Every massuese I've tried has been great too, but when booking a service ask for the person who is most requested..that way you are guaranteed the best experience.

I used to go here for the drinks and atmosphere, it can be fun on a weekend with a great date. Wasn't as impressed this time.

Try Nihon on 14th and Folsom. Whisky bar with a great vibe, DJ spinning with a cool lounge upstairs.

Drai's is always a good time! Cool people, great vibe, house music, in a swanky subterranean environment. This place doesn't get hot until after 4 am, so be prepared to stay late! It is not packed with posers like many of the Vegas clubs, in fact draws many locals who perform in the shows, etc..making for an interesting crowd of sexy people. Check it out on a weekend for sure.

I used to live in Las Vegas, and have always wanted to try this restaurant. As it turns out, the only really spectacular quality of this venue is the decor and the view. The food was less than stellar, and the $250 bill for 2 sort of put a damper on the rest of the evening, for which I was really annoyed. If you are looking for great French food in an upscale environment, try Bouchon at the Venetian.  I must give props to the wait staff, who are actually very cool and well informed, I think they were embarrassed about the quality of the food versus the price.
