It was thrilling! From the moment I stepped into the waiting room I was filled with a zestiness I have seldom if ever experienced. My heart fluttered with anticipation and the session did not disappoint, Bandages were removed delicately & gracefully, swabs were executed with absolute precision and care. Cultures were taken for further consideration & payment was made with a grateful heart. All in all a joyous adventure! Thank you! Mike.
I came to see Joanne for Botox & fillers. The office staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Joanne was very pleasant and took her time answering all my questions and concerns. I love my results!! Everyone tells me how refreshed I look. My results are very natural looking.

Felt like she didn't really look at my face. Prescribed very expensive ointments I had to order from a special pharmacy.
I love Joanne! She has the best bed side manner. Always cheerful & helpful with my medical issues.
I was dissappointed in the operation at Dr Batras office. First, I came early and still had to wait 40 minutes while two others who came in after me went first. Second, the PA didn't really listen to my needs nor make recommendations for solutions to acne. Just said keep doing what you're doing. Didn't write a script or anything. Third, I asked the front desk what to do next as I don't have any prescriptions for anything. They just said they would email me. Still haven't heard anything. Why say you're going to do something and then not do it? Follow through is a strong indicator of professionalism. I'm going to look for someone else to go to now. Not worth the wait.
