Dr. Turkle is OUTSTANDING. She is extremely conscientious, incredibly talented and one of the most generous and kind women I know. Her work is one of great artistry. She treats all patients with respect and is sure to spend time with her patients. The office runs like a well-oiled machine and is marked by professionalism and efficiency. If you're reading these reviews, know that you'll be in excellent hands.

Went in and was greeted nicely. Haven't had Botox in a year. Obviously it's a big expense. The person that came into office had a bad bedside manner. I'm not even sure if it was the Dr. I've been shopping around for a comfortable place and this was not it. She was very negative about what I needed. She kept saying tell me what you want me to do.

I felt very uncomfortable and had to exit. Won't be going back. I read the reviews before I went and should of went with my gut. I don't recommend for Botox or being excited about upcoming appointment. It wasn't what I thought it would be.

DONT GO HERE. if you're the type of person that stands up for yourself they don't like that! I don't doubt that the surgeon does a good job but I wouldn't know because the associates are so rude an they expect people to just sit there and let them talk anyway they want to and nothing is done about it. With that being said they are unprofessional and decided that they were just gonna refund me my money when most of my surgery was paid for. And I already had a date. ALL BECAUSE THEY WANNA TALK ANY TYPE OF WAY

Horrible. Had lipo on stomach and ended up with a flat indented butt! Why was that even in the process? Tried helping my self esteem as I'm getting older and now hate my body more. Never recommend her

The front office staff, medical staff, physicians and Aestheticians are all very knowledgeable and helpful. I've loved everything from the facials to any medical procedure I've had done in the office.

Absolutely do not recommend. Surgery and pre op went fine but as others stated it's the post op handling where this office fails. My incisions were not doing well, assuming I had an infection I continued to call which is when I was told the odor at my incisions were "normal." The very next day I again spoke to a different nurse where I was told that she has never heard of an odor from incisions and I then requested an antibiotic for possible infection to be on the safe side, I was then told I needed to see my primary care and refused to help.

So after a full day of calling around I found a primary care doctor to take over the care of my healing process instead and prescribed me the antibiotics I needed to heal. The after care of a surgery should be taken care of by the surgeons office and that includes an infection and all concerns. I never felt like I was heard and more just pushed off onto a doctor who had no connection to my surgery. Updated to say I did indeed have an infection at my surgical site

At 66 years of age, Dr Turkle restored my confidence and figure! I recently had a breast augmentation and lift. I could have not received a better surgeon along with such kind care. She listened to my questions and concerns and was always very attentive. Thank you Dr Turkle and your wonderful staff!

This review is more for the assistant girl they use and not so much Dr. Turkle, got Botox from the girl they use to inject it and she didn't go deep enough nor did she inject enough Botox, the lines in my forehead never went away and I believe I spent around $300. My advice leave the injections to Dr. Turkle if you decide to come here for that procedure.

I Had a breast reduction recently and got a MAJOR staph infection. I took the post-op very seriously. They had no urgency in taking care of the situation, as it continuously got worse. To me, the infection was down played. I am now left with horrible scars. PLEASE do a lot of research when finding the right doctor and make sure you're in the hands of providers that have your best interest.

Dr. Turkle is truly in a class all her own. It is with skillfull hands and a kind heart that she exceeds expectations in absolutely every way. Careful attention is paid to the WHOLE patient experience from consultation to surgery to followup, making sure you get the end result you desire. Her personable, warm demeanor make it very easy to feel comfortable from start to finish.

She makes you feel like you are her only patient, never making you feel rushed, all while handling every appointment on time or early. Dr. Turkle is truly a gem and her patients are in the best hands, literally!

Had a tummy tuck last year and Dr. Turkle exceeded my expectations! I haven't had any problems and my scar has faded really well. Definitely happy that I chose her!

I had a tummy tuck 20 years ago and an arm lift a month ago. Both procedures went exceedingly well and my results were better than I expected. The staff is friendly, helpful, and share their experiences-if they had them-which is very helpful. Dr. Turkle is kind, always available to answer questions, and honest about results or possible concerns. She is an exceptional plastic surgeon. I highly recommend her and her office.

She did my daughters breast's (they were very asymmetrical), and I can not say enough good things about Dr Turkle and her staff. She made my daughter feel very at ease and was beyond nice. It's not very often you find a talented doctor that also has amazing bed side manners.

Terrible experience. Once Dr Turkle and the employees grab thousands of your dollars, you become a number while they focus on acquiring new patients.

Dr. Turkle and Phases are professional, helpful & personable. The office is attractive & very clean. I highly recommend Dr. Turkle, Phases and staff. I appreciate the front desk person who checks you in/ out, does billing & scheduling. Every one of them is helpful and patient - for alas! the computer system seems involved!

Dr. Turkle and her staff are quite simply amazing! You will receive a warm welcome every time from the administration ladies. All of the medical and spa staff are committed to top notch medical and aesthetic care with a smile. If you are considering any type of cosmetic procedure, Dr. Turkle's (and her awesome nurses) hands are the best ones to be in

I first met Dr. Turkle 20 years ago when she corrected surgery performed by another surgeon. I was very pleased with the results. When I needed surgery again, I consulted with her. Again, I am thrilled with the results. Dr. Turkle is such a warm, caring professional who always listens to any concerns. I must also comment on her staff. From the reception area to the clinical and financial staff, they are so friendly and accommodating and always make you feel so welcome. This office is definitely one of a kind! Shirley Agnew

My left breast implant continues to migrate into my armpit, which is very visible in pictures taken for my modeling. I cannot comprehend how Turkle is this incompetent of a surgeon, let alone that she demanded I undergo psychiatric evaluation - merely for being a trans woman - to receive the surgery, which I paid for in full. She shouldn't even be practicing, and I'm speaking as someone who undergoes cosmetic surgery at least annually. I'm having to have another surgeon clean up the disaster she caused in my breast region, and I'm sure she'll respond to this review by trying to get it removed or making her requirements for transgender surgeries even more stringent. Doesn't change that you suck really badly, Turkle.

Anyone wanting a cordial, talented, reasonably priced surgeon needs to check out Dr. Zukowski in Wilmette, IL. Actual cosmetic surgeons, like him, make Turkle's clinic look like a joke.

I am thrilled with the results of my cosmetic surgery! I was referred to Dr. Turkle by a friend who had a procedure and was also very pleased with her results. Dr. Turkle and her team were very friendly and helped me feel confident about my decision. I had a breast lift, tummy tuck and liposuction performed in April of this year and the results are better than I imagined!

The image looking back at me in the mirror today is the person that has been present on the inside for many years. I feel like great and wish I could have found Dr. Turkle sooner!

I had a breast augmentation with dr. Turkel Friday the 15th of nov. She is such a soft spoken and polite women. I was so never about going to my consultation and being treated the same way I'm treated at a hospital. And that was not the case at all. Such kindness and whatever information I needed to kno she let me kno! I truly admire this women for all she does every day! She changes lifes! Shes a super hero

Dr. Turkle did my tummy tuck. I am just over 3 weeks post op and am amazed at how great everything looks and feels! I am still swollen and know that will go down over time. Dr. Turkle and all the office staff have been great. I worked early on with Beth and she was incredible with all my questions and even helped ensure I got he exact date I needed for my surgery.

The surgical center staff was also amazing. I even got bumped up when the first surgery was cancelled! Now I know why they have you there 2 hours early : The post op visits have been extremely short, which I guess is good if everything looks ok on their end. The office is clean and I have been seen on time for all my appointments, which I appreciate very much. I am looking forward to the rest of my recovery.

Had a procedure done by Dr Turkle yesterday. Everything went amazing! I am pretty shocked that I felt as great as I did when I left the surgery center. Dr. Turkle and the staff she works with have been nothing short of wonderful. I would highly recommend her.

My appointment was at 0800. I woke up late, so I called Turkle & Associates to see if they'd still be able to see me even though I'd be 45min late; and that I'd have to leave by 0930. The lady on the phone said this was fine. I actually got there at 0900. At 0915 I went to the front desk to ask if they could see me soon --- (even though I didn't want to because I was already an hour late, but I did) the NP, Amy, called me back 5 sec later.

She was so sweet and told me not to worry about anything. I got 15units in my left masseter and 20units in the right, I was out of there at 0925 and made it to my 1000 obligation. Love this place, highly recommend, and will go back over and over again with no guilt or regret.

My experience with Dr Turkle has exceeded my expectations from day 1. I scheduled consultations with other offices none of them giving me the same attention as Dr Turkle's. Her staff contacted me and we spoke on the phone for at least 20 minutes. The staff member I spoke with was knowledgeable and happy to answer all of my questions. I felt Dr Turkle was very personable and thorough during the initial consultation.

She helped me select the right device to meet my needs/expectations. I'm 6 days post op and things are going great. The surgery went well and I've been recovering quickly. I've had my first post op appointment which was rather brief. I've never had surgery, wasn't sure what to expect. Overall, the experience has been pleasurable. Most importantly I love the end results and I've yet to fully heal.

I had my ear lobe repaired here recently and it was a great experience, I was in and out in 20 minutes. My appointment was very early in the morning, and I took off a half day because I wasn't sure how I'd feel. I ended up going straight to work because the procedure was so simple. The office is beautiful, and everyone was so kind from the front desk, to Dr. Turkle. I've gone back to have the stitches removed, and will return to get my ears pierced.

I've had such a great experience at Turkle. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I went the first time during a Botox special event and had some questions since I'd never had it done before. They explained everything in a way I understood (no dr lingo needed here) and I felt very comfortable. I was 100% satisfied and have recommended Turkle to multiple people! 5 stars! You won't be disappointed.

I had a very negative experience with Botox at this practice. Rather than being treated by a doctor, my injections were given by a nurse. I should have been alarmed at the tight, plastic look of her own face, but rolled the dice. It was probably my 4th or 5th experience with Botox, and my derm was on leave so I went to Turkle. The Botox was injected into a vein, leaving a dark, painful bruise and swelling that lasted over a week.

And the muscles weren't relaxing. I called the nurse, and she said it was common to hit a vein, and that I should just eat some pineapple. Seriously. Never been back and have happily returned to my dermatologist.

Turkle & Associates is an extremely professional medical practice in Carmel, IN. I'm writing specifically about Dr. Matt Strausburg, who is the board certified dermatologist at this practice. Dr. Strausburg is extremely intelligent with a history of fantastic educational experience, specifically that he did both medical school and residency at Indiana University.

More importantly, however, is his bedside manor. My dermatological concerns were not only thoroughly addressed, but Dr. Strausburg takes an extra step to deliver consistent, compassionate, personalized care to all of his patients. Turkle & Associates is lucky to have him!

I've been to Dr. Turkle for two different surgeries now. Three years ago this coming March I had a breast augmentation done. I wanted to enlarge but didn't want them to look ridiculous and fake. Dr. Turkle was very easy to talk to about what I wanted. She took the time to ensure me that she doesn't do the "fake" look and if that's what I wanted I should go elsewhere.

I was pleased with that answer as I know some doctors don't always follow by the natural look. Anyhow, I went from a full Beto a small D. I am really pleased with the surgery still three years later. I just went recently for some body contouring with some areas I've had issues with for years. Aside from the healing process being a little bit of a bear I am very pleased with the results so far.

It will take weeks for bruising to go away and up to 6 months for all swelling to subside. I am glad that I did it even after just a week out. It's something I've struggled with getting rid of for years. Dr. Turkle is one of the most down to earth doctors I know. She doesn't make you feel self conscious about making some maybe what some consider vain procedures. Though I know that's her career to do so she does make you feel comfortable while in her office. I would really recommend her for any cosmetic surgery needs!
