I have been struggling with acne for the better part of ten years now. I have seen countless doctors and tried everything imaginable. Nothing helped me. After researching doctors on the internet, my husband suggested I see Dr. Steven Mandrea in the Park Ridge office. Honestly, I wasn't very hopeful since I had been to so many other doctors and had not seen any significant results. Thankfully, I was wrong! Since being treated by Dr. Mandrea and the staff in the Park Ridge office (especially Su e, who is wonderful!) I have seen drastic improvement. Dr. Mandrea is very professional and really takes the time to listen. Thank you for helping me when I truly lost all hope that there was anyone or anything out there that could help. Pros: saved me from my acne problems

I am a 32 year old mother of two and no matter how hard I tried with dieting and exercise I could not get rid of my love handles. I went to Dr Mandrea's office for a liposuction consultation. They were very informative and took the time to answer all my questions. I set up the appointment and two weeks later I had the procedure. I am thrilled with my results. My pants fit better and I feel and look like I did before having children. I highly recommend this doctor and practice for liposuction.

Lakeview Dermatology would like to apologize to the previous posting patient for their poor experience. We want to do a better job of providing excellent dermatologic care with reasonable waiting times. To that end, we will be much more sensitive and attentive to patients requiring brief visits for suture removals so that they are seen expeditiously. Dr. Steven Mandrea

I went to see Dr. Mandrea and when I got there my appointment was switched to Dr. Mandrea Jr. He was nice, but most of the work was done by a resident they had - and I did not appreciate that at all. I went to get my stiches removed and the resident was the only one there that Saturday. She made me wait 45 minutes to remove 3 stiches. The whole procedure took no more that a minute and she charged me the full $30.00 co-pay for what she called a "consultation". I tried arguing with her about the $30.00 but she said that was the fee; I told her she spent less than a minute with me removing the stiches and she charged me anyway. I will never go to Dr. Mandrea's again - their staff is not friendly and they are not considerate towards their patients and their needs. They take advantage of their patients - they lost one the day they took advantage of me! Cons: The doctor does not provide the service; the resident does.

I want to share my appreciation for Dr Mandrea and his staff for their professionalism competence and kindness. They have taken years off my face with Botox, Sculptra,and recently the Pixel Fractional Laser. Not only are the wrinkles and sagging markedly reduced, but multiple age spots have disappeared. My face has a new glow. Appointments are easy to obtain, the staff is courteous and efficient. Highly recommended. Pros: excellent dermatologist, very pleasant experience, professional staff, convenient location Cons: not cheapest in town, but the results were awesome

Dr. Steven Mandrea performed tumescent liposuction on my thighs, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. His nurses were kind and supportive throughout the entire procedure, and Dr. Mandrea made me feel completely at ease. He answered every question I had honestly and returned my phone calls promptly. My clothes fit better; I feel better in a bathing suit; and I'm overall more confident in my appearance. I would recommend Dr. Mandrea for tumescent liposuction to anyone thinking about it. I honestly was taken aback by the previous poster's post, I couldn't be more thrilled with his office. I've been seeing Dr. Mandrea for years and have NEVER had an issue. He's the consumate professional with an outstanding bedside manner. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer dermatologist. He is genuinely concerned about your overall health and well-being, and he wants you to be thrilled with your skin. I never feel like he wants to sell me something that I don't need, but the products he does sell are great and well-priced. I would recommend Dr. Mandrea to anyone.

I am a 58 year old grandmother with no hips and no thighs, but I have always had a little tummy, and Dr. Mandrea made my flat tummy dreams come true! Doing liposuction was not an easy decision for me, but I went for it and have not looked back. During the consultation, Dr. Mandrea was extremely patient with my questioning and I feel he gave me realistic expectations of the results. His office staff was extremely attentive and the surgical nurse was exceptional. Dr. Mandrea is attentive, caring, and concerned about his patients. I was at work the next day and on the tennis court by the end of the week. I would recommend Dr. Mandrea and tumescent liposuction to anyone. His Park Ridge office is beautiful and convenient for us suburbanites. The compliments on my new figure haven't stopped. Now....I have him doing my botox, too!

I went to Dr. Mandrea's office last week for an initial consult for hair removal. I was ushered into a room where I sat waiting...only to be greeted by Dr. Mandrea Jr. who did not know if my medications even interacted with the laser, but did feel okay with allowing me to start the procedure that day - without the interaction info. Furthermore, he did not inquire to the general health of my skin although I indicated other concerns in my assessment form. He then told me he'd give me a deal on having full hair removal but when I went to schedule my follow up, I learned that no deal was negotiated and that I was not even getting the 30% discount offered on his website. He does not perform the procedures, rather the technicians/RN's. Dr. Mandrea did tell me that one of the side effects - is minor burns - NO thank you! I was very disappointed with his lack of interest in my overall skin health, in fact my insurance is being billed for an appointment despite him not even inspecting my skin at all (120 dollars)! I've visited dermatologists in the past, and health rather than greed was the goal of treatment. I don't see any reason why I would give 10,000 dollars out of pocket to the Mandrea's for laser treatment (conducted by RN's or technicians) when I can go to a laser clinic or a derm that treats the patient directly for less. The staff is also very rude so watch out. Pros: nothing Cons: rude, overpriced, dishonest,
