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.

The worst experience I’ve ever had with a Dr.... He did not know what he was doing...It’s cost me a lot to fix his horrific surgery.

Dr. Aronowitz puts Cedar Sinai and the medical community to shame with his 'inside referrals' (to his own 'medical spas') + lack of integrity. Having survived cancer surgery, I was referred to Dr. Aronowitz for some light follow-up. The 1st meeting, he was warm, caring 'I'll take good care of you.' My healthcare deemed his procedure a waste of money, so cancelled our next appointment. He referred me to his private MEDICAL SPA- not surgery as per our consult- then still charged for the consult!

This doctor did not disclose that there is a non-negotiable $250 consult fee when I made my appointment over the phone. There are a plethora of seasoned reputable plastic surgeons in LA that do not charge a consult fee. Given the horrific reviews he has online, I wonder if he charges a fee to make a quick buck for fear that the patients will not return. I certainly won't be getting my work done with him.
