WORLD CLASS SURGEON, CARING AND DEDICATED TO MAKING ME BEAUTIFUL!
July 19, 2011
I live in California, so I can go anywhere I want. The only Cosmetic Surgeon I wanted to work on me was the World famous Dr. Brandy. No plane flight would have been too long to be in the care of his artistic and experienced hands. When you want a natural look, that does not look like Joan Rivers or Michael Jackson, then you want Dr. Brandy. You will end up with a natural, relaxed look with at least 10 years taken off your face. Natural beauty is what the best surgeons strive to achieve, and Dr. Brandy is a master! He was the pioneer in achieving the best Facelift with the least amount of pain and downtime, The QuickLift. He teaches the procedure and he has been a providing author in over 70 medical articles. I wanted a smart, well respected, young enough surgeon to grow old with, but he had to have experience. After my research I knew, he had to be Dr. Brandy!His staff has been hand selected to make you feel like royalty and the entire experience was beyond my dreams. From the moment I first contacted them to well after my surgery, I was very well taken care of.Do yourself a favor, call them. You will be thrilled and you will feel pretty again! I look fantastic and honestly love to look in my mirror whenever I get a chance, so will you!
I am thrilled with the my results!

Six months ago Dr. Colon performed a breast lift and liposuction for me. I am thrilled with my results! When I had my consultation all of my questions were answered and the procedures were explained in detail. I was very happy with the care and detail that was put into my pre-surgery instructions as well as the post care instructions. Dr. Colon took his time and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Colon and the Skin Center to anyone!
I LOVE MY RESULTS WITH DR. BRANDY!
April 26, 2011
After having liposuction surgery at The Skin Center by Dr. Brandy, I have to say that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made and my only regret is that I waited so long to do it! I am writing this post because I know how nervous I was about making the right decision just as anyone reading this is. After meeting Dr. Brandy during my consult and seeing the before and after photos, I was convinced this was the surgeon for me. He knows what he is doing and his confidence was very reassuring. If I have to point out a flaw, it would have to be that his comments could be a little short. I understand he is a busy surgeon so it was fine with me.I liked how one nurse was assigned to me and she was the one to return my calls. It was nice to talk to someone who was familiar with my surgery and my recovery. Overall, this was a great experience, it really has changed the way I feel about myself. I can finally wear the clothes I want to wear without feeling self-conscious about my body. Thank you Dr Brandy and staff.
I needed help fast!

Knowing that I would be hitting a milestone birthday this year, and while preparing for my daughter’s upcoming wedding, I was looking for some help to make me look less tired and more refreshed, without everyone suspecting that I had work done! A chance meeting with Debra Thomas turned out to be the answer to my prayers! Debra assured me that with some minor treatments (and no surgery) I could have the refresh that I was looking for, and she did not disappoint! Just a few days after the treatment, I saw an old friend who gushed at how great I looked. She said she just couldn’t put her finger on it, but she told me that I looked 10 years younger-she assumed it was my hairstyle! I finally confessed that I had been treated by Debra Thomas at The Skin Center in Wexford, and that I plan to make this part of my ongoing maintenance. I suspect that my friend and a few other friends will be contacting Debra to schedule their refresh too! Thank you, Debra Thomas! You are truly an Angel!
I LOVE IT HERE!!!

I can not say how WONDERFUL Brittany and Katie are!!! Katie works at the front desk and is super sweet, helpful, SMART, and great to work with. I have been in a rush to get appointments because I am leaving town for a new job and she was an enormous help. She knew my exact schedule and kept me in mind any time there was a cancellation. She called me at least 4 times to squeeze me in and always remembered exactly what I had told her about what my skin concerns were/what questions I wanted to ask, treatments I was considering, products I had questions about etc. etc. It was like talking to a best friend. Never once did she blow off my questions and just tell me to ask the doctor during my appointment or anything like that. She really listened and I feel like she was a huge help in saving time because Katie passed along such thorough messages and would get right back to me with answers. I could have spent 3 hours in my appointment asking questions, but I was able to get the answers in advance, from the comfort of my own house, which was awesome.
Brittany is AMAZING!! She gave me 2 fraxel treatments and I will do everything possible to never to go another skin professional besides her. I will be moving out of the country for 2 years and I am going to try to plan everything so I can see her on my return visits etc. She is incredibly knowledgeable, sweet, honest, and has a lot of experience- which you will know immediately from talking to her. She will not tell you to get some treatment that is not your best option. She consults you...she does not try to sell you! For example. I only have a month left in Pittsburgh, and some services are best with several treatments, so instead of telling me to get "just one treatment now" or something like that, she gave me honest advice and told me to get it done when I am back in Pittsburgh for good and can get the follow-up treatments. She went out of her way to accommodate my schedule and explain the process from beginning to end including follow up questions I had post treatments. Her response time was immediate and I could not appreciate her help more! I highly recommend going to this office and working with Brittany and Katie. You will not be disappointed!!
Great First Botox Experience
August 8, 2011
by PittsburghFan at Citysearch
I'm a 37 year old woman who had deep furrows between her eyes thanks to bad eyesight and a lifelong love of books. I thought Botox would be an easy, painless way to get rid of my permanently worried-looking facial wrinkles. (I like easy & painless) The Skin Center had a great promotion going on, and the facility is comfortable and relaxing. The procedure takes 5 minutes, and I could see things smoothing out after a few days. As part of the service I went back a week later for some additional injections...apparently everyone's muscles respond a little differently. They were very concerned that I was completely satisfied...it's nice to be treated like such a valued customer! I definitely plan on going back for further treatments. I would highly recommend Botox at The Skin Center.
Dominic A. Brandy, MD is a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon
July 28, 2011
by MaryDiangelis at Citysearch
I am Mary Diangelis, RN, and I have worked as a nurse of Dr. Brandy's for more than 25 years. In order to meet the rating requirements, and to be fair to this forum, I have given Dr. Brandy a neutral rating. In response to the post regarding Dr. Brandy's board certification I wanted to share the following:
Dr. Brandy is always disheartened to learn that a patient is dissatisfied with the outcome of their surgery. Choosing to have cosmetic surgery is a big decision and when your personal expectations do not match the result, we understand that it can be disappointing. At The Skin Center when surgical outcomes do not meet patient expectations, we strive to maintain open communication to achieve patient satisfaction.
I do want to clarify that Dr. Brandy is board certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS). A board certified cosmetic surgeon is certified exclusively in cosmetic surgery which focuses on enhancing a person's appearance through surgical and medical techniques. Cosmetic surgery is often only a small part of any of the residency training programs for many of the core specialties such as plastic surgery, dermatology, otolaryngology, gynecology, maxillofacial surgery and others. For this reason many of these doctors that have a special interest in cosmetic surgery often go on to become certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery.

is what you will get at the Skin Care Center in Wexford. I have been going there for years and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. I am a regular customer of Debra Thomas, who I think the world of. She is friendly and professional and always knows exactly what to do to keep my skin looking smooth and beautiful.

The Skin Center has a very talented group of professionals. I have had a couple of cosmetics surgeries, plus a series of peels. I continue to go for monthly facials. People say I look 20 years than I am and I have the Skin Center to thank. So Thank you all at the Gahanna Skin Center!!

I love being greeted by Ines with her warm smile. Everyone addresses you by your first name. Their guidance is invaluable. Brittney makes my skin glow with excellent peels & laser treatments. She helps me maintain the glow with good skin products & directions on how to use them. Bridget makes my flaws disappear with Botox,Juvaderm and other fillers I need. They are very professional and personable. There is no better place to go at the end of a long work day than the Shadyside Skin Center.
Permanent Eye Liner is A Must do!

I recently had permanent eye make-up done at The Skin Center in Wexford and I love it! I would highly recommend Rebecca, my medically savvy artist!
Dr. Colon did a terrific job.
November 3, 2011
I look rested and healthy. I have no taut look. My friends keep complimenting me on my hair, jewelry, etc. Even close friends have no idea I had a quick lift.
Six months ago Dr. Colon performed a breast lift and liposuction for me.

I am thrilled with my results! When I had my consultation, all of my questions were answered and the procedures were explained in detail.

Very compassionate doctor.

Genuinely concerned about his patients. Staff is wonderful. They do everything they can to make the experience stress free. I have recommended others to him.
I had a quick lift.
February 22, 2011
The results were wonderful and I look 10 years younger. My four year old granddaughter told me I look like her mommie! I had a great experience and should have had this years ago. Thank you Dr. Brandy!
Tummy Tuck with Dr. Brandy
January 26, 2011
I am the mother of three small children (7 yrs., 5yrs, and 14 months old). My kids were quite large (all delivered by c-section) and as a result I had an excessive amount of loose skin around my belly. I began looking at tummy tuck surgery, but kept putting it off thinking it was impossible to do and still care for my kids. After much contemplation (and many recommendations) I hesitantly made an appointment to see Dr. Dominic Brandy for an abdominoplasty consult. Needless to say I was very worried about having surgery (especially with a baby who at the time was just barely one year old) but I knew I really needed to take care of my body, I was really uncomfortable with the way I looked and felt.
During the consult, Dr. Brandy walked me through the entire procedure and recovery. He very clearly told me what to expect before, during and after the surgery as well as gave me realistic expectations of my results. Dr. Brandy told me that he has modified the technique for a tummy tuck so the level of discomfort is minimized. Of all of the doctors I had visited, I really felt comfortable with him and decided to have it done.
Leading up to surgery the nursing staff was in constant contact, making sure I was following my pre surgical protocol. Even as late as the evening before, someone called me to see if I was ready. The surgery went smoothly, post-surgical recovery was very tolerable as well. The nursing staff could not be more attentive, calling me to make sure I was feeling well, always returning my call if I had questions. And Dr. Brandy himself even called to see how I was feeling the night after the surgery!
My recovery was faster than I expected. I was back to full swing about ten days after the surgery. And the pain was very minimal, I was actually off pain medication the very next morning -- and that is the truth! My results are beyond my wildest expectations. . .my tummy is flat and trim and I can actually fit into my clothes again. I have never been happier with my body. I am thrilled and cannot say enough about The Skin Center. If you are considering a tummy tuck, then you MUST see Dr. Brandy. The man is an amazing surgeon!
Had a good experience and great results.

Dr. Brandy runs a good Ship!! His staff is knowledgable and caring.
Dr. Brandy did a wonderful job with my eye procedure.
August 3, 2010
I used to hate waking up to bags under my eyes. Dr. Brandy did a lower eye lid surgery. There is no scar because the incision is inside the pink of the eye and it requires no stitches. He finished it with a chemical peel which smoothed the crow's feet and tightened the skin. The recover was quick and relatively painless. I should not have waited so long to have it done.
Since my procedures, I have had many compliments about my appearance.
November 17, 2011
Only my husband and sister were aware of my surgery. Several friends have asked what make up I use, another friend thought I was 14 years younger than I am. I have felt so much better about myself. Thank you.
Everyone in the office was extremely helpful from my consultation to post-op visit.
October 21, 2011
I am so pleased with my results and I would recommend Dr. Brandy to anyone, and I already have!!
I'm very pleased with the look of my skin and will continue to go to The Skin Center.
September 22, 2011
I am a 38 year old woman who has had severe sebaceous hyperplasia on my face for many years. It is a frustrating condition because there isn't a cure. I started going to The Skin Center in January 2011 for chemical peels and have been going every 6 weeks or so. I have noticed a dramatic reduction in the size of the bumps - some are even gone! There have been other benefits to the peels as well - tighter skin, sun splotches are lighter, and just an overall better appearance. Many people have commented about the smoother texture of my skin. I've also been using products such as a tretinoin compound recommended by the staff in between peels and it has worked well in the overall appearance of my skin as well. I'm very pleased with the look of my skin and will continue to go to The Skin Center for many years to come.
I am a 46 year old woman who has struggled with acne since I was a teenager.
September 8, 2011
It was an embarrassment and actually kept me from going out and doing things when I had bad breakouts. I tried every topical product out there as well as medications including Accutane and spent a small fortune. Then last year I looked into treatments on the internet and saw the Cool Touch Laser treatment. I thought I'd give it a try. It worked better than I could have ever imagined. I only wish this treatment was around years ago. I would recommend the Cool Touch Laser treatment to any parent with a teenager or any adults struggling with acne. I've also been very happy with the staff at The Skin Center. Kim has been wonderful and has recommended great products to suit my skin type. Some of these products I never even knew existed. Tracy and Amber are also very personable and friendly. I am very happy I found The Mount Lebanon Skin Center.
I can't tell you how grateful I am that I found the Skin Center!
February 22, 2011
I've had several chemical peels and my skin is much improved over a period of only a few months! Bridget has worked miracles on my acne scars and always takes the time to make sure that my skincare regimen is optimized for me. All of the staff at The Skin Center are professional and welcoming.
The skin center has transformed my appearance and gave me back my youth.
February 11, 2011
The surgeons are the best! And Nancy is beyond the best! I see her once a month for facials and peels, and it is the best thing I have ever done. I can't imagine my life without the services provided by the skin center.
I've had an awesome experience with the skin center.
February 3, 2011
I have been going for over 2 years now for laser hair removal and my skin looks so much better since my first appointment. No more bumps or ingrown hairs! I highly recommend the skin center and the professional staff members who will never make you feel uncomfortable.
I LOVE The Skin Center!
January 7, 2011
From the beautiful and clean spa-like atmosphere to the super friendly staff, they are the best at what they do - Hands down. I don't even know where else you would go?? I recommend Bridget for all your facial needs but I hear good things about everyone.
I love the staff and professionalism at the Skin center.
January 5, 2011
At first I felt intimidated by so many procedures and options but Bridget Kelly took the time out of her busy schedule to go over all of the procedures and to suggest which ones would fit my hectic schedule with minimum down time. I would highly recommend their services no matter what your skin concern. Thank you so much!
Excellent service, easy to schedule.
July 28, 2011
Staff is professional, warm, and friendly. I felt completely comfortable. I would definitely seek other treatments there.
Talented and Caring.
July 28, 2011
Dr. Colon is a truly amazing "artist" and plastic surgeon. I have never looked better. Several of my friends have had the procedures that I did, as they see the results are incredible. To boot, he is the NICEST person!! I am always so happy when I see him!
I have been with the Skin Center for 2 years.
November 3, 2011
I started with a Quick Lift and followed with Chemical Peel, Vein Center, BBL (Broadband Light treatment). I purchase all my products at the Skin Center. The employees are very professional and knowledgeable. I trust what they recommend. I am 61 years old and people constantly tell me they don't believe my age. My husband loves it also.

I ADORE Dr. Colon and his staff here in Columbus, Ohio. I have had work done before from other doctors and the work, quite honestly, just does not compare! You will be hard-pressed to find such a fantastic, kind and welcoming staff who make you feel more than "right-at-home"! Dr. Colon is BRILLIANT and so nice! Shopping around is simply a waste of your time...period.
