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.

No. I initially met Dr. P. Ten months ago when I had a consultation for upper eyelid surgery for which I paid the large consultation fee. I was set up to do the surgery for $4,000.00 and then....Covid. Had to cancel. When I first met her, she was the kindest, most informative and UNRUSHED doctor visit I had ever experienced in my life!! Fast forward to the last few weeks when I reconnected with her office to get the surgery rescheduled. In fairness to Dr. P., I never got passed the cheeky receptionist. I was informed that I needed to again pay the exhorbitant consultation fee since I hadn’t been there in a year. TRUTH. IT HAD BEEN TEN MONTHS!! I was then told that it would now cost $6,500.00 for the same service which represented an increase of over 50%!!! Shocking! I guess she really wasn’t all that kind and caring. She sold out and decided to price gauge all those poor souls who were forced to see their faces on zoom. I’m sure she is raking it in. Shame. Shame!

I am a 77 yr old female patient of dr Purewal that had Ptosis of the right eyelid and was told Dr Purewal could fix this problem and she did. I never realized what a big help fixing this problem would be not only with my sight but driving , reading signs, reading books, watching movies and best of all not having to pick my head up and jut my neck out to see where I’m going. My neck no longer hurts and my eyes are more relaxed and both the same size. Thank you Dr Purewal this was the best thing I did for myself. Wonderful!!!! Thank you dr Purewal and entire office staff who were so helpful in setting this up

I had a pretty deep line in my forehead that 2 other doctors want to use fillers to remove. I was speaking to one of my clients about it and they recommended I contact Dr Purewal since she had been able to help him and his wife. I made an appointment and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Dr Purewal has such a great demeanor, with a down to earth yet still very professional approach to care. The line in my forehead is gone!! Mark Werner

Dr. Purewal is the best! I considered several options before meeting with Dr. Purewal and choosing her for my surgery. She is everything you want - meticulous and clearly skilled. She deserves every 5 star review and then some. I am 100% thrilled with the result of her surgery. She is patient and explained everything. Also her staff is excellent. Highly, highly recommended.

Dr. Purewal is the consummate professional - thorough, incredibly patient, and performs her work in a very sterile environment. She's refreshingly open and honest and makes herself available to you. Clearly, she loves her work as she seeks perfection in every procedure, regardless of the magnitude. We highly recommend her.

Truly the best. Had to get surgery and was very nervous about it but once i walked in there everyone was welcoming and the procedure took about 20 minutes to complete. I felt no pain or discomfort it was as if she didn't do anything to me. As her reception said Dr Baljeet has golden hands. Recommend everyone to come here!

I had special events coming up and I was self conscious of a chalazion on my lower eye lid. I was relieved when her office was able to squeeze me in at the last minute to have it removed. Her office was clean and beautiful. Her staff was friendly and attentive. Dr. Purewal's bedside manner was calm, caring, thorough and genuine. The procedure was painless and I thankfully didn't experience any post op bruising. I had an amazing experience! Dr. Purewal exceeded my expectations! Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Dr.Purewal to anyone that would love to feel better about themselves. I have been a patient for awhile now , but finally convinced my sister to have a filler done to help her look better for her daughters upcoming wedding. She was very reluctant to have anything done and now wishes she would have listened to me years ago. She absolutely loved Dr. Purewal and was very comfortable with her. Her staff was also wonderful !

I went to see Dr. Purewal for lip filler for the vertical lines above my upper lip. I was also considering filler for my lips but was concerned because I've seen some of the outcomes on others and the results were too "ducky." Before Dr. Purewal did anything we spoke and she answered all my questions. I decided to do the lips as well as the lines. I was so happy with the result. Very, very natural and subtle. I have been to Dr. P. for ultherapy and here again my expectations were surpassed.

I went to Dr. Purewal for upper blepharoplasty surgery. She's an extremely professional, courteous, patient, caring, and knowledgable physician; I would HIGHLY recommend her. She took her time explaining my options during the consultation. I never felt rushed and she instantly put me at ease. The morning after my surgery, a Saturday, she called to see how I was feeling, and responded immediately on a Sunday morning to a question I had. I'm very happy with the results. Her staff is great too.

I met with Dr. Purewal for a treatment of Ultherapy. This was the third time I met with Dr. Purewal for the treatment. Dr. Purewal is a perfectionist and amazingly patient. Her care for your comfort is 10 out of 10. Dr. Purewal is quite knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. She never made me feel rushed. She dedicates time to your care and appointment. I highly recommend consulting with her if you are interested in learning more or considering Ultherapy treatment.

Dr. Purewal is one the few doctors who is truly gifted in both her profession and bedside manner. She consistently takes the time to listen and correct anything that is ailing you and understands the needs of her patients change based on the nature of the visit v.s. other physicians who sometimes run based on protocol/ previous visits.
