Dr. Sarshad, Rose and the entire staff are so knowledgeable and kind. Their weight management program helped me lose 40 lbs in 4-5 months and then maintain my current weight.

I was referred to Dr Sarshad by my very good friend from college. I was very intimidated to try any kind of procedure, but the entire staff was very welcoming and created a non-judgmental environment for a newbie like me. I walked out of my first visit with some minor Dysport injections and was very happy with the results. I've since brought my mother in for IPL treatment and she loves her new skin. :)
