I’ve had very good service each time I’ve been there. Dr. Been is a very good surgeon who cares about her patients.
She is wonderful! She made sure I was happy with my results and made some tweaks in the process. I really enjoy working with the Beens and trust them. They are really knowledgeable and the natural results show it. I have gone elsewhere and been disappointed with my appearance afterwards- but not here.
The doctor addressed all my questions and concerns.
