I went for my annual get me through another birthday pick me up injections. Staff is professional and pleasant. Dr. Allison Schwedelson is the best! She does an excellent job of mitigating the signs of aging with very natural effects. No scary over the top looks here.

Cheryl is the best! She is my skin guru since I was in my 30s. I'm 60 now and because of her expertise I'm always getting compliments on my skin. Thank you, Cheryl, for helping look the best I can!

I was recommended to Elizabeth Simon Hogan, and I 'll recommend her in a heartbeat! Elizabeth is an asset to SMC. She genuinely cares about each client. She is gentle and attentive, and it is obvious that she loves her work. She takes the time to answer any questions and to explain the procedure involved. I'm happy to have this time with her!

I received a hydrafacial the other day with Andrea! It was such a good experience. She is lovely to speak to, and gentle, understanding and helpful. The hydrafacial felt so good, and the results were even better. My skin is glowing. The office is beautiful as well, and everyone was lovely!

Having any sort of procedure can be very nerve wracking especially when it's your face, but Krystie helped to make me feel beyond comfortable and also took the time to talk to me about what we can do in the future. I felt like I was in my primary care office, all the nurses were extremely helpful and friendly and there was barely a wait. I will definitely be going back for all my services in the future.

Sanctuary Medical Center is a great place. The front desk receptionists are very friendly and helpful. I had laser hair removal for the 1st time. I was recommended to Andrea. She is so friendly and informative. I previously had another service at the Medical center with Dr. Halim. I got botox to help fix my eyebrows. They look amazing now! She balanced them out to be more even.

Dr. Jason Pozner performed a Face Lift on me in March 2020. I couldn't have found a more capable plastic surgeon. I am extremely happy with the results. Dr. Pozner is not only highly skilled in the most advanced procedures, but he is a perfectionist who truly cares about his patients. Dr. Pozner and his truly wonderful staff have gone above and beyond to ensure optimal results for me and they have always been available to me for my "one last question". A top notch doctor and a top notch staff.

As a man, I was very apprehensive to get botox. Caroline was amazing! I felt informed and even more importantly, comfortable under her care. I didn't know anything before I went in. I walked out confident, feeling and looking great. Highly recommend!

Wonderful consultation. Krystie explained everything in detail, and gave me good suggestions. I really felt I was in capable hands. So professional with lots of experience. Loved the facility, up to the minute laser machines. Shall be returning soon. Thank you Sanctuary Medical Center.

The front staff greets you with a smile. The nurse took me in right away to get me ready to see the doctor. The Doctor was so kind and efficient. She gave me a complete body check and found suspicious looking moles. She was so thorough. Took the biopsy and after the nurse even gave me even more detailed information. It's was quick and easy. I haven't had the best experience with doctors and hospitals in the past. It took me a while to get my skin checked. If I have to get checked again, I will certainly be going back to Sanctuary Medical Center.

I had lip augmentation with Kystie today. She was extremely professional, I am super happy with the results. I would highly recommend Kystie and Sanctuary Medical Center. Love that they look so natural!

Lets just say I am rather picky when it comes to trusting someone with my face. Being in my early to mid 30's and my wedding coming up, I knew if I was going to do something it was going to be now. So based on the reviews and a recommendation I came to Sanctuary, and I honestly couldn't be happier : Kristy did my botox and filler and Cheryl transformed my skin.

If you are prepping for your wedding, this is where you need to go! Everyone that walks out of this place looks incredible. Seriously, stop reading reviews and make an appointment. Next time I am definitely trying the body sculpting treatments, they look amazing!

The make up professional who did my make- up for my daughter in law's wedding. She was so impressed with what Ashley had done.

If you are looking to get your skin care on point, Sanctuary is the place to go. Tina is an amazing aesthetician who has taken my skin to the next level with regular peels and product routine that is formulated for my skin & evaluated each time I see her. I have finally reached a point where my skin is flawless and I leave my house without makeup. The best part is that she is never pushy and also honest! Highly recommend Tina & the team at Sanctuary.

From the moment I arrived I was impressed by both the beauty and cleanliness of the office and the warm welcome I received from the front desk. Cheryl, the esthetician, is knowledgeable and friendly. She educated me regarding how both she and I will care for and repair my skin from years of sun damage. She was meticulous in her care and took her time to explain everything she did to my skin. My skin already looks amazing! I highly recommend this office, they were wonderful from start to finish! I'm a client for life!

He delivers ZERO results for acne scarring! Story: I am a twenty-year-old college student who went to Dr. Posner two years ago for treatment for my acne scars. He performed two rounds of laser on my face, telling me that for my age, I could expect to see a 70-80% improvement and it would take a year to see the full improvement. Unhappy with the little to no results, I went back to his office to ask for more treatment.

He still wanted to charge me another $1,000 for making a promise he couldn't keep. Upon discussing pricing, he stormed out on me and told me he didn't remember who I was. He is very arrogant and does not care about giving his patients the best results. I worked all of high school to save up money to deal with how insecure my scars make me. To be treated this way by a middle-aged doctor is absolutely appalling. He just cares about money. Under no circumstances would I recommend him.

I had an appointment with Caroline yesterday to get my lips done. She was amazing. It was painless and fast. My lips look amazing. The smoker's lines have disappeared and I have a nice pretty pout. I am very pleased.

This place is the best- you can go here for all of your beauty needs. the staff are helpful and friendly and you never feel like they are trying to push/over sell you on things you don't need. I've gone to Krystie and Mona for filler and Botox and they are FABULOUS. I always want to do a million things and both of them tell me exactly what I need and how I can get the best bank for my buck.

They always tell me about specials and have great bedside manner. They are kind, gentle and honest. I've been going here for years - they are the only ones I trust with my face.

Love it here! The staff is extremely friendly and they make you feel like you are hanging out with friends! Extremely knowledgeable about everything I have ever needed or asked.
Dr. Pozner is the best! He really listens to you and treats your needs individually, not like a herd of cattle. Also, they don’t try and sell you something that you don’t need.

Love Love this office staff, from the front desk, Linda, Cara and others, to the operating room, everyone is professional, knowledgeable, kind and caring! Highly recommend Tina in the skin care department. Great facials. She is amazing. Krystie for fillers etc is phenomenal. Perfect for the instant help defying the aging process in a perfect subtle way. Dr Pozner is wicked smart! The results that I got from his deep laser peel are literally ...WOW. Can not say enough about this office and the beauties that make this place worth the drive!

I love Sanctuary Medical Center and highly recommend Dr. Haleem. Her knowledge and compassion is amazing. Dr. Haleem is a perfectionist that genuinely cares about you and is honest about expectations. Dr. Haleem will take as much time as you need to make sure you understand the procedure and outcome. You will not be disappointed. My skin has never looked better.

I love this place but I especially love Dr. Halim. She is a true professional. She Takes all the time you need to feel comfortable and answers all your questions. You truly feel immediately that she loves her job and that her passion is to make sure all her patients are happy! She is ridiculously talented at what she does and cares more then anyone I have seen in a long time. She follows up with calls and texts to make sure all is good. I highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed

I can't say enough about Sanctuary! I always feel welcome and get awesome, honest service. The office is clean and conveniently located in Boca. I've been going for at least 2 years now for everything from facials, massage and to zap out any wrinkles with Mona. I even take my teenage son for his acne.

Unethical. Set up a fake credit account and then post and change for services you have NEVER HAD. GOOD LUCK REMOVING THE LIES FROM YOUR CREDIT REPORT. AVOID THIS PLACE. A few of the doctors may be ok but the business and owners are creepy money hungry thieves. AVOID THIS PLACE

Cheryl is amazing! She is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and knows that service and relationship building are imperative to feeling secure as a patient. I will definitely keep going to her for facials and peels. I went to Krystie for fillers and sadly my experience with her was not as good. She is very knowledgeable and as such, she is arrogant and doesn't listen to what is important to the customer and just does what she feels she wants to do.

I am not happy with the results but thankfully I found the Weston Center for Aesthetic Medicine and they have already listened more to me over the phone then Krystie ever did in person. It's nice that there are so many wonderful options for fillers and sad that those providing the service don't really take that into consideration when their egos get in the way.

This review is based on Dr. Allison Schwedelson, a Dermatologist at Sanctuary Centre. Trying to find parking in this business is really not easy, so be ready for a bit of confusion. After that, I found the office and walked upstairs, entered the lobby and was greeted immediately by two young ladies at the front desk. I filled out the paperwork and waited for almost 10 minutes before they called me back - nice! Dr. Schwedelson's assistant, Shonta, was with me from beginning to end & she was very pleasant to be around.

After assessing my issues, the Doctor came in and took over; she made her suggestions and notes, then went to work. I left the office feeling very good about my visit and I look forward to returning for my followup. I will update accordingly if anything changes! [Note: This is cross-posted from a previous review I did at this location - apparently, the name was altered and I moved my review here.]

I have the most pleasant experience every time I'm there. From the receptionist who greets me as soon as I open the door, she remembers my name too! My doctor is great, she explains everything to me, I feel she and her assistant are my girlfriends. Dr Allison, as I like to call her. And thank you for the coffee machine, I always take one to go!
Nancy
The staff are always lovely, and I am extremely pleased with Dr. Allison Schwedelson's work. I think she is an artistic genius! I feel as if I look 10 years younger! Thank you again!
