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.

Dr. Kovak is personable BUT very sloppy
I was drawn in as he and staff appeared to be competent. His work is less than desirable in my opinion. He gave me injection in the face/cheek but went thru into the bottom gum which created a major problem. Once its in that is it. I had to have the tooth removed and an implant placed costing $7,000 including all the other dental people I saw after him. My experience was God awful.

I have been extremely happy with Dr. Kovak. At the consultation he asked what my biggest concern was, and at that time it was the folds around my nose. He explained that to treat that area by itself would make me look unnatural. He suggested treating my sunken cheek area first as it would have an effect on the folds. I have taken his advice, and he was 100% correct. I look sooo much better with a little fullness to my cheeks. My cheeks were really sunken....who knew they could fix that?? I have trusted him in doing a few other things and I am more than happy with all the results. He has magic hands. I plan on continuing to see him.

My wife and I went to get some skin tags removed. The staff is very friendly, the place is clean and Dr. Kovac made us feel like family he took his time to explain to us the procedure from beginning to end. The procedure itself was quick and painless, we highly recommend this place to anyone.

I have had a scar on my nose for over 30ty years. I've tried everything to remove it using creams consistently but was unsuccessful. Until I came across Dr. Kovak who used a special laser treatment that is effective for dark pigmented people such as myself. His approach was careful and personable, not to mention Knowledgeable as well. The scar is gone now. It might have taken over 30ty years to find him but better late then never. Thanks Dr. Kovak

I am currently on my 4th session of Emsculpt Neo and so far love the results. Also, the office is very clean, staff is super professional and always very flexible and willing to work around my unpredictable schedule. I drive from the city (45 minutes) to go there because I think it’s really worth it and their prices are much better than most of the places in the city.

Dr. Kovak is truly the best! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy but his honesty is unmatched. I’ve been to many places/doctors for my acne scars and none of them helped, until I found him. He listens to my needs and only recommends treatments that will actually help. I’ve seen such improvement since going to him & I couldn’t be happier I found this place! Not to mention him & his entire staff are by far the friendliest I’ve ever encountered. A true gem!!

Dr. Kovak gave me very direct and honest information as far as treatment options for my issue. He’s very friendly and down to earth. Laser treatment is reasonably priced and painless, and I was able to get started the same day as the consult which was super convenient.

For nearly my whole life I have suffered from vein disease. I came under the care of Dr. Kovak nearly three decades ago. He is a wonderful doctor! He's extremely smart and knows what he's doing!! I continue to seek his services. He is approachable, genuine, and very caring of his patients. It is with highest recommendation that I write this.

Dr Kovak will tell you what will work for you and what will not and set the right expectations from the start. He is down to earth and makes you feel comfortable. His staff are attentive and make you feel at home as well. The office building and facilities are top notch and I feel the procedure costs are reasonable otherwise I would think twice paying out of pocket. I have been going here for a few years now and would highly recommend.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kovak for over 20 years. He and his team are the best. He takes the time to talk through concerns and does not try to “sell” procedures that aren’t necessary. They treat you like family and go out of their way to ensure satisfaction.
