Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Poor bedside manner of staff
The staff bullied me and continued to harass. Never did anything to provoke that.

Dr. Emerson, the nurses and the desk staff were all incredibly helpful, understanding and accommodating. I never wait long when i am here and the staff is friendly. They also help guide me through the financial\insurance aspect. It's easy to get in touch with the office. And I am very pleased with the results in the whole procedure thank you!

Dr. Emerson is both professional m compassionate, and understanding. We set realistic goals and he more than delivered. He took at least 6-7 years of my face, while making me look completely natural. I would highly recommend him for any plastic surgery procedure.
