Dr Schlessinger and his staff put me totally at ease before my first filler injections. I was so happy I chose Dr Schlessinger as my results are natural and I feel so confident in my appearance . The follow up care was exceptional and I will be returning for other treatments. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a fabulous cosmetic experience.
