Mon Jun 14 2010Very efficient front office staff. Scheduling is good, appreciate the reminder calls! Joanne was great to deal with, positive and honest. Very happy with my new flat tummy! I’m hoping some of the bumps will still go away however. Both doctors are attentive and fully answered my questions.

Thu Jun 03 2010Very pleasant staff. Scheduling is very helpful. Technicians have had wonderful personalities. They have been helpful with products - Sun Screen. I have been satisfied with the results of LaserLift and am so glad not to have a "ditch" between my eyes - thanks Botox. Botox injections, painless and effective. Dr. Darm is very personable, he is quite handsome on TV!

Wed May 26 2010Friendly Staff. Due to the busy schedule, times not always avail. Friendly and timely technician. Weight loss physicians are clean, attractive, and comfortable. Dr. Darm is wonderful. Wellness consultants are friendly, I felt very honest. Did not try to sell products/procedures.

Wed May 26 2010Great, courteous, and friendly staff. Scheduling seem to be very flexible and accommodating. So far, so good. This is my 2nd visit with the technician. Laser procedures - a little more uncomfortable than I thought from the description. Joanne (wellness consultant), was very easy to talk to and didn't push something just because it cost more.

Mon May 24 2010Staff are very helpful. Scheduling is very accommodating. Technicians are caring and helpful. Treated respectfully and warmly. The procedure is excellent! I am most satisfied. Dr. Darm is excellent. I felt like my objectives were met with the LipoLift procedure. It jump shared my exercise and diet program. I have lost 20 lbs. and kept it off as a result of the procedure, diet, and exercise regimen. I feel great and look great.

Mon May 24 2010Front desk staff good, Liz great! I felt lied to and when I wanted to discuss other options with Dr. Darm and made an appointment with him, he was suddenly busy and I spoke with another woman who enjoys her gum very much, as she could care less about what I had to say. As we compared the first pictures and the now...and clearly no change could be seen, still no care of concern or effort was made to help in this situation. I am out no less than $4,000.00, and nothing to show for it. Sad but true!! I will not recommend them again. Very disappointed. I didnt want my money back, I just wanted to see some results of the procedure, which was a laser lift. STAY AWAY!! NOT A GOOD BUSINESS!!

Sun May 23 2010Welcoming, get to know you by name. Scheduling check-in is great. Sometimes hectic & confusing, but appointments are kept on-time or within 5 minutes. Have worked around my schedule. Always get reminder calls. Technician explains procedures, friendly and personable. They are all awesome, compassionate, caring, & the follow is great. Great sense of humor too! My entire experience with everyone in the office, front desk, surgery (and support) technicians are all awesome!

Thu May 13 2010They all seem very upbeat and friendly. Very easy to work with my schedule. I really like Kim who has done the procedures on my arms. She is very gentle and easy to talk to. I was automatically comfortable with her. Danielle

Sun Mar 28 2010Friendly receptionists and well-trained staff. Dr. Darm is always around to help patients. Results are great! You can see the results immediately after. Don't be affected by wrong and destructive reviews.

Tue Mar 02 2010No stars. This doctor is NOT worth your money. I visited him many years ago when he was just starting his business and gave personal attention to customers, and I was a loyal customer. I moved away from the area for awhile and when I returned I made an appointment to visit him again for a series of rosacea / face tightening laser treatments. I was expecting similar amazing results but was told he had found "a new paradigm" for treatment. Bottom line...it didnt work and it was painful because he stopped using the lasercaine pretreatment, and his new assistants were untrained. I had to insist he come in to oversee the procedure because the "new" machine wasnt working properly and the aesthetician did not have a clue. I'm easy going and it takes alot for me to say something bad about anyone.... but I'm hoping this review will save you money and pain. Go to someone else.

Fri Jan 29 2010First of all the staff are sweet...they are friendly and compitant, and quick to help. I did the Laser lift and I have been doing Dysport I love both I saw almost immediatly results with the dysport and I just had my last laser treatment and I'm satisfied with the results. The tech that I saw was very friendly and always happy to see me. The face wash that was recommended to me is the best I have ever used. The doctor was always around to answer questions if I had any and the staff was always happy to help and they were quick to return calls. I will definetly continue going here and I will continue sending my friends and loved ones as well.

Sat Dec 12 2009Once they took my money which is upfront, they became rude, dismissive, and certainly failed to follow-through their promises. The management, sales staff and customer service sucks! Time and time again, they failed to provide the services I paid for. What a waste of $1750 for acne treatment. The entire treatment was a joke the fact that they kept giving me unskilled workers the minute of my appointment replacing my scheduled aethetician without notice, the lasik equipment often non-functional, and usually took me into my appointment very late and then dismissed me earlier than my 1-hour paid sessions. The entire treatment did not make any difference.

Thu Oct 29 2009I've been working with a trainer for over a year, 4X a week. I was unable to work off the last tummy and side fat. After some research, I came accross Aesthetic Medicine. I had my assistant quickly scheduled a free consulation and went in to discuss the options they have. During the consulation, I was explained in detail the three options they currently had to offer to help with my little ares that would not go away. I was 100% sold on the procedure that I chose, it was the Laser Lipo Lift. I QUICKLY scheduled my appointment. I was telling everyone about it. The day of my procedure, I was a little nervious. Once I arrived at Aesthetic Medicine, all my concerns were released. The staff made me feel comfortable. I was 100% awake for my procedure, just numed in the mid section. I was laying on the bed talking to the Doctors, texting, answering e-mails all while the prodecure was going on. Yes, they were lasering and sucking fat out while I was working on my I-Phone. Once th... Read more

Sat Aug 01 2009I am writing in support of Dr Darm and his staff at Aesthetic Medicine. My experience with the clinic began with apphrehension, mainly because other diets or weight reduction therapies had not worked consisitently..I asked many questions and was never pressured other than the statement that I may be a good candidate for a lipo-lift proceedure. I supported this by my own "buy-in" of diet and excercise. After 4 treatments I began to see results..My waist had ballooned to a 38 and my weight to 215 lbs..Today, after 8 treatments, my weight is down to 195lbs with a target of 187...and I just purchased a size 32 waist jean this weekend.. Lipo-lift may not be for everyone, but if you're interested , give it your best to make it happen.. Thanks again to the staff!

Mon May 25 2009I went here and had there lipo treatment. My friend had recommended liposuction to me. I didn't feel I needed something that extreme since I am in fairly good shape. After doing my homework I found Dr. Darm. The treatments didn't hurt, and I got the result that I was looking for.

Fri Apr 17 2009The Dr and his assistant are ok. however I had problems. When I called to complain, the staff was rude and would not talk to me. I did consult an attorney but dropped it because it wasn't worth my time. When I called for my deposit back I found it to be poorly organized and nobody in the office could find my file. This is my personal experience, but it was TERRIBLE. And the office is in a hovel.

Sat Mar 28 2009After calling several places around town I settled on Aesthetic Medicine because of their inexpensive botox packages and a recommendation from a friend. On my first appt I was pulled into a side office where I was given a sales pitch and pressured to purchase services worth over $2000. I declined and purchased the botox package I initially came in to buy. I have received three botox treatments to date, and have experienced services I feel are well below par. More importantly my botox has never lasted longer than 10 weeks at the most, which is a far shorter period of time than treatments I've received from another local provider. After discussing this with the woman doctor I was told this can happen if I didn't follow the after-care procedures or if the muscles were not totally numbed by the treatment. However, I always follow the after-care steps to the letter, and actually received more units of botox than I received at the other location. Is it possible to dilute botox? I j... Read more

Fri Mar 27 2009I have been going here for over a year now, and I love, love, LOVE the place! The staff is always friendly and welcoming ~ They make me feel comfortable and important as a client. The front desk always addresses me by my first name and keeps me informed if the schedule gets behind. (which IS bound to happen, it's a part of life) It is unfortunate that there have been a few clients that have a bad experience, but I believe those are rare instances, because I have nothing but positive, wonderful remarks to say about the Aesthetic Medicine! I've had botox by a couple of the different doctors they have on staff - and I have loved it everytime! I've had laser treatments, and I love them and the results as well...everything I've done with Dr. Darm and his staff, I have been been greatly satisfied with! I would ABSOLUTELY reccomend Aesthetic Medicine to my friends and family...in fact, I've done so before!

Thu Mar 19 2009After falling and injuring my back last November, I realized that I needed help to lose the weight my bones were not equipped to carry. I knew this would require a lifestyle change. My husband and I visited Aesthetic Medicine to see if they could help me achieve my goal. As a Sales Executive myself, I entered the front door with a sense of caution to the glorified sales pitch. We met with three of their staff, including their Office Manager, Nutritionist, and Dr. Darm. We were extremely impressed with their warm approach and sincere interest in helping me reach my goal. I started the program early November, and have never once regretted having them as my partners in my mission! Every week I am blessed to have educational time with their fabulous Dietician and Nutritionist, who work to educate me on smart choices to create the long lasting lifestyle change I set out to accomplish. In addition, I have some time with their wonderful technician who checks me in and performs any neces... Read more

Wed Feb 11 2009I found a more professional Medical Spa in town that treats me right and they now have my business. Dr Darm's practice is probably not going to last much longer if they keep up with these types of problems and lack of customer service. I recomend you move on also

Sat Jan 10 2009I think it's a bit sad that the office manager actually got on here to rate this office in order to bring up their rating on this website. The other reviews are factual...I would do my homework before visiting this office for sure!

Thu Dec 11 2008I could just kick myself for being gullible enough to fall for Aesthetic Medicine's sales pitch. They talked me into having all kinds of procedures done to lessen the appearance of wrinkles and rosacea on my face. The doctor assured me that I would see good results and showed me all the before & after photos of supposed previous clients. This fool and her money signed up for thousands of dollars worth of treatments. They said it would take quite awhile before I could expect to see improvements, so I was patient. But when I had completed all the treatments and I still couldn't tell a thing had been done to my face, I asked to see my before & after photos. They made me schedule an appointment just for that. So I did, but they told me the doctor who knew how to run the before & after images was not in that day. So I rescheduled and came back. Then a different person told me that the doctor who knew how to run the before & after images was not in that day. The kept telling me the... Read more

Mon Oct 13 2008I?m the Business Manager for Dr. Darm at Aesthetic Medicine. I came across these responses and had to reply on behalf of the clinic. We are the second largest Medical Spa on the West Coast. We see on average 40-60 clients a day. We have over 25 laser devices with years of experience. We do Wrinkles, Injections, Cellulite, Acne, Sun Damage, Rosacea, Mole/Skin Tag Removal, Veins, Tattoo removal, Hair removal, and run a Medical Weight Loss Program. Dr. Darm meets every single patient who walks in our clinic. We strive for results and everyday look to our clients to better define our procedures. We are a leading provider in the state for Botox. Botox is provided by one manufacture called Allergan. We do not water our Botox down. Our Physician is by far one of the most conservatives when injecting Botox. We start with 15 units in one area because we?ve seen wonderful results. Yes, we can give you additional units depending on your particular needs however if 15 units work why p... Read more

Wed Jun 18 2008This is a sales office with a Doctor's name on the door. All they really SELL is the Lazer Lift...and they put that unproven technique nonstop. The staff is painfully undertrained. I had to go in three times for my brow lines (forrehead) and it just is not that confusing. The Botox HAS to be watered down, because they poured in in and I have been getting in that spot successfully for years. Also, they don't follow up, and ntheir products are not Physician Strength which begs the question: "Is there a Doctor in the house?????" I think not.

Thu Sep 20 2007I think that the staff are very nice here and Dr Darm is a good doctor. I signed up for laser lift. Its hard to see results for yourself, but others including my mother and husband have defintiely commented and recognized that my skin looks better than it ever has. the procedure called laser lift takes 6 monhts and costs about $2000.00 It is supposed to stimulate collagen. I think it works for sure, BUT don't do this if you are expecting dramatic results. Its not dramatic. do a face lift if you want that. do this if you have the money to spend and want to improve the overall quality of your skin.
