So I made an appointment for the free consultation on a liposuction procedure after I saw their ad for 40% off. I arrived 15 mins late..due to midtown traffic. Anyhow while sitting in the waiting room, I checked my email and there was an email from them sent 10 mins after my appointment time telling me to call and reschedule, I guess they dont want you to be late but hey traffic happens. So I met with one of their consultant, first impression not friendly at all, not even a smile. She seemed very cold and uninterested. Then she told me she has other people to see after me so we have to get started. What? I felt a certain way about that statement. As if I wasnt important and we should hurry because she had other appointments. As I recall there wasnt anybody else in the waiting room. So I proceeded to tell her what I wanted and she went to give me prices for the procedure. She didnt explain anything about the procedure, all I heard was the price and how I would have to hurry to make a decision because the special ends in a week and i would have to leave a $500 deposit to lock in the price. I hated feeling like I didnt have time to think it over. In my opinion a consultation should be an information session about the procedure. I did not get any info only a price. So I told her that I would get back to her, she said I have until monday, I went in on a thursday. Even before I left the office I knew I was not going to do my procedure there. So after a few other consults with doctors I found sleek to be very overpriced even though they were offering a discount. I found a great doctor who did my procedure on 3 areas for $1200 less without a discount, than what sleek was offering me to do on 2 areas( Upper and lower abdomen $5600). So overpriced. So my advice is to shop around for good doctors that care about what you want and not pushy consultants who want to make a sale and overcharge you.
