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.

Dr. Kauvar is a miracle worker. Her hands are a gift from above. I cannot day enough about her work. Her technique and knowledge of everything dermatological is insatiable. She’s an expert in her craft and really makes you look and feel like the best version of yourself. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She’s brilliant!!

Very unpleasant experience. Was contacted about a research study they were running. Phone screening failed to ask some important questions. So I traveled 1.5 hours each way to the office, only to be sent away after 30 seconds. This all could have been avoided if they'd asked the right questions over the phone. When I asked for compensation for wasting three hours of my time (like a product or treatment) they blew me off. If you're looking for someone professional & caring, go elsewhere.

I've been a patient of Dr. Kauvar's for over a year to treat my melasma with laser and am thrilled with the results. After 3 years of failed attempts of covering the dark marks on my face with makeup, I finally feel confident enough to skip foundation and concealer. An added bonus is that the staff are lovely and the office is as beautiful and relaxing as a spa.

Warning, PLEASE DO NOT GO TO SEE DR. KAUVER IF YOU HAVE MELASMA. Dr. Kauver not only is rude and has zero empathy but she will throw procedures at you that you don't need and will make your skin look worse. I read Dr. Kauvar's study on Melasma and thought it was going to be my saving grace but sadly it was not. I went to her office in August, and for starters the woman working at the front desk is miserable. She is not kind and honestly very rude to patients. Dr. Kauver said I needed her specia
