I wish you would please have a few chairs in the waiting area that don't have arm rest, I am a big guy and the chairs where very tight and uncomfortable. Remember this is the South not Colorado.
Other than that I was impressed with Dr Lou.
February 2, 2015David M.Verified patient
Dr. Lou was perfunctory. He performed the desired cosmetic procedure satisfactorily but was awkward and abrupt during the patient consultation. I was considering him for cosmetic procedures other than Botox (which I received during the appt.). On the day of my appointment Dr. Lou appeared ill- at- ease and disengaged. I would not return to him.
