“I’ve been a client of Criswell and Criswell for around 12 years. And I absolutely love this place! I’ve had everything from Botox, hydrofacials, microneedling, Halo lasers and most recently an upper eyelid Bleph and brow lift From the moment you walk through the door, they are very welcoming. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and engaging. The doctors themselves are fantastic humans, great at what they do, and you are in the best hands. Their professionalism and detail to everything is extremely noticed and doesn’t leave you guessing what next. Their communication to the patient is next level! I highly, highly, highly recommend Criswell and Criswell for your facial. and plastic needs!”
“Dr. Kara Criswell and her staff are phenomenal, both for surgical and medspa procedures. Dr. Criswell is extremely knowledgeable about the possibilities and limitations of the gazillion treatment options available today. She listens to and is guided by the patient’s treatment goals rather than imposing an outside aesthetic, recommending multiple treatment options to address the patient’s concerns along with pros and cons in terms of financial investment, expected results, downtime and ongoing maintenance. Whether through plastic surgery or nonsurgical procedures, she excels in achieving natural outcomes that are undetectable as “having work done” — yet subtly, significantly improving those gradual signs of aging that can be so demoralizing when you look in the mirror and see some old lady looking back at you instead of the younger person you feel like inside. If you want to look like a permanently surprised alien with giant fish lips, go somewhere else, but if your goal is to turn the clock back a decade and rediscover the best version of yourself— rested, healthy and radiant— you cannot put yourself in better hands than those of Dr. Kara Criswell and her caring staff.”
“The staff at this plastic surgery clinic is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel like a valued member of their family. Dr. Kara Criswell, a highly skilled woman plastic surgeon, is renowned for her exceptional work. Her expertise and dedication have made her a trusted choice for me, and I continue to return to her for my cosmetic procedures. One of the most appealing aspects of this clinic is its flexibility in accommodating your schedule. This is particularly convenient when you’re out of town, as it allows you to plan your appointments around your travel plans. I have conducted thorough research and have been a loyal patient for years, and I highly recommend Dr. Criswell and this clinic to anyone seeking plastic surgery.”
“From the moment I met with the staff and Dr. Kara Criswell, I felt relaxed about the procedure I was to have done. The clinical staff could not have been more caring and thorough. And Dr Criswell was not only caring and thorough , she is honest with expectations and put me at ease several times prior to surgery when my worry level started creeping up. My results have been amazing, beyond my expectations and I wish I had the surgery 20 years ago. I would highly recommend Dr Kara Criswell.”
“Dr Kara Criswell is amazing. She has an amazing team from the minute you walk in the door until you leave for the last appointment. They make you feel so good about yourself before and after. ALSO, HUGE SHOUT OUT TO NURSE JESSICA!!! I can’t say enough good things about how PHENOMENAL nurse Jessica is. If you need anything requiring a needle…..she’s your gal!!!! I totally recommend this office and Dr. Criswell for anything plastic surgery. I liked her so much, I came back twice!! 10 outta 10!!”
