"I recently had a Lip Lift procedure with Dr.Schierle and couldn’t be happier with my results!!! From the first consultation with Dr. Schierle he was incredibly detailed, patient and genuinely compassionate. He took time to listen to my concerns and goals explaining the procedure and the healing process throughly. He made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way.His attention to detail was exceptional and is apparent in my outcome. My results look natural, balanced and are exactly what I was hoping for-refreshed without looking odd or overdone .The care didn’t stop after the procedure either , follow up appointments were just as thoughtful and reassuring.If you are considering a Lip Lift and want a physician who is not only skilled but meticulous, compassionated and truly cares about their patients I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Schierle."

"Seven months ago I had an SMAS plication facelift, deep plane neck lift, brow lift, quad bleph, ear lobe reduction, scar remodeling, and facial fat grafting under the expert hands and eyes of Dr Moradian.I had been very happy with the way I looked after a prior lower face/neck lift 10 years prior, but thought I’d consult with Dr. Moradian just to see what he might recommend for me. I’m a longtime client of NSPS med spa and upon meeting Dr. Moradian in passing I loved his entire vibe and felt comfortable enough to schedule a consult. I ended up scheduling my surgery immediately after that initial consult and KNEW in my heart I was in the best hands. It’s always been EXTREMELY important to me that I continue to look like me. Not plastic or “done!” I’m not a big make up person and prefer to look natural, FRESH, healthy, and not tired.I’m So happy I took the leap and had my surgery with Dr. Moradian. The entire team at NSPS is unbelievably beautiful inside and out, and Kendall and Monika couldn’t have made me feel more comfortable or cared for. Dr. Moradian went, and still goes, above and beyond to answer my questions, taking the time I need at follow up visits, and responding to my texts and phone calls.Surgery day was a breeze, and my recovery was actually an interesting fun process. Dr. Moradian kept my husband and daughter in the loop and answered any and all questions they had re: my recovery I never felt alone or that any question was a stupid one. Dr Moradian stayed in such close contact and even made several visits to my home which is near the surgery center. My husband and I have the utmost respect for Dr. Moradian and after really getting to know him, we are SO happy I put my face in his hands. We consider him a friend now and a true renaissance man. Dr. Moradian is A true master of his skill❤️❤️"
"I had a deep plane face and lower neck lift, lower blepharoplasty, fat grafting and a chemical peel through Dr. Moradian. I LOVE looking in the mirror everyday - vain or not and it is all because of Dr. Moradian. My appointments were always on time, he never ever limited my endless questions or made them or me seem unimportant. Dr. Moradian really took his time looking at my skin and face deciding what would have the best outcome for me. I had no problem relying on him 100% as to my choices. He never rushed me when I would ask the same questions at each visit. He prepared me mentally to be ready for a change in my appearance, which I thought was very insightful. I wasn't worried about the changes though and looked forward to seeing the changes everyday because I trusted him and I was ready for this. I am going back to see him for a few more procedures as is my husband and sister. The surgery center was amazing, Monica and Kendall were so nice, caring and helped me through this. Dr. Moradian would text me during recovery and I can still text him with questions. When it came down to the surgery, Dr. Moradian was all business. It was very apparent that he is a perfectionist in his field and wanted me to get the very best outcome. Recovery was really no big deal. Everyday was better and it was exciting to see the changes. I take better care of myself now (shoutout to a hat and sunscreen Dr. M) I feel extremely lucky to have found Dr. Moradian, and to have had these procedures with him. I have never looked back on my surgery with any regret and that is entirely because of Dr. Moradian."
"I went to Dr. Schierle to address my gynecomastia - which had been a lifelong issue that suddenly went from being a purely cosmetic flaw to a much bigger overall health issue for me over the course of a year or so. The first green flag for me was this office was the first plastic surgery practice that was willing to listen to my concerns and try billing my insurance for the surgery (coverage for the procedure was approved).Dr. Schierle himself made the entire process as positive as possible. I felt that he truly listened to me, asked thoughtful questions about my goals for the surgery, was frank and open about every aspect of my procedure and what I could realistically expect, and never once made me feel judged or uncomfortable.The team and office staff have been incredible to work with. I’ve always been able to reach someone if I had a question or concern during recovery. I never have a problem getting into the office when I’ve needed to.I knew that I had made the best decision in choosing a surgeon during my second post-surgery checkup, when Dr. Schierle recommended I hold off on any scar revision treatments for at least a year. To me, this just demonstrated further that he is actually invested in his patients’ success and not just out to milk people for as much money as he can.I’m really grateful to Dr. Schierle and his team for making what was an incredibly stressful and scary ordeal into a much more manageable process. Can’t recommend them enough."
"I cannot say enough wonderful things about my rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Moradian and his amazing team at Northwestern Med Spa. From the very first consultation, I felt completely cared for, understood, and confident that I was in the best possible hands.Dr. Moradian took the time to truly listen to my concerns and goals. He explained the entire process thoroughly and with such patience, making sure I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way.The entire team at Northwestern Med Spa is equally incredible — warm, welcoming, and highly professional. They made every appointment feel like I was visiting friends who truly cared about my well-being and outcome. The level of support I received before, during, and after surgery exceeded all expectations.The results are absolutely perfect and natural, exactly what I had hoped for. Dr. Moradian is not only a highly skilled surgeon, but a true artist. I feel more confident than ever and couldn’t be happier with my decision."
"Dr. Moradian performed a face and neck lift on me and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and results.The outcome was wonderful!Dr. Moradian was kind, accommodating, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We had consistent in-person check ins, he guided me through every step of recovery and he even took the time to answer my family’s questions about how they could best support me.Dr. Moradian’s PA and staff welcomed me every time I visited the clinic and made me feel at ease.I will 100% be back to Dr. Moradian for any future procedures and I highly recommend him."
"Dr. Moridian was incredible from start to finish. Before the surgery, he took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process, which helped ease my concerns. After the procedure, I experienced quite a bit of anxiety, but Dr. Moridian was always there for me—he checked in the next day and kept in touch through texts and emails for almost two months, offering support every step of the way.His bedside manner is outstanding, and his surgical skills are truly remarkable. I underwent a deep plane facelift, neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and a chemical peel, and the results exceeded my expectations. Remarkably, I was able to go out to eat just one week post-surgery. The transformation is absolutely wonderful. Dr. Moridian is, without a doubt, the best."
"When my daughter broke her nose in a high school sports accident, she was referred to a local ENT for surgery immediately. I wanted to make sure a plastic surgeon performed the surgery and spent hours trying to find a surgeon who would treat her. I knew that this was a very time sensitive injury that needed to be treated ASAP. Barb on Dr. Moradian’s team scheduled a consult with him very quickly and patiently answered all of the (many) questions I had. I was absolutely amazed that Dr. Moradian was able to schedule surgery the day following our consult. My daughter’s prom was one week after her surgery and Dr. Moradian was determined that she would be able to go and look like herself. No one could tell, one week later, than she had surgery, and she had a wonderful time!Dr. Moradian and everyone on his team were friendly, caring and empathic. They made us feel confident and comfortable with the procedure. I was also impressed with the follow-up check-ins and responsiveness when we’ve had questions after the procedure. He’s been very responsive and helpful. I feel like we hit the jackpot and couldn’t have found a better surgeon! Thank you, Dr. Moradian, for everything!"
"I visited Dr Fine and his team after a failed breast reconstruction after being treated for cancer with mastectomy, chemo and radiation. From the first visit, there were noticeable differences between my prior surgeon and him. He and his team are empathetic and make their patients feel at ease and cared for. At each visit, he and his team have spent a lot of time with me. The visits never feel rushed. At my first visit, he looked at my infected reconstructed breast with an exposed implant and calmly explained what was necessary to fix it. He then explained the procedure he thought would be helpful and showed me before and after pictures of patients who had undergone the suggested surgery. The end result was gorgeous, by the way, in all of these pictures---even in post radiation patients. In this visit alone, he spent more time with me than my prior surgeon had spent with me over multiple visits. He answered all my very detailed questions. In my first visit with my prior surgeon, before my mastectomy, my husband and I were left alone in an exam room for about an hour with a saline-filled implant and silicone-filled implant on the counter to look at. The surgeon I went to before spent about 20 minutes with me in that visit and did not go into detail. The choices presented to me were implant reconstruction with saline- or silicone-filled implants or an abdominal flap procedure that takes 2-4 months to recover from. I am very career-oriented and don't have 2 months to take off of work. Dr Fine, on the other hand, gave me the option of a latissimus dorsi flap with a significantly shorter recovery time, lower complication rate, and better aesthetic result. He gives you his honest opinion based on 30 years of experience. He tells you the hard truths: such as that 50% of implant reconstructions fail after radiation therapy. I wish I would have known that before I started on this journey because I would have made very different choices. The icing on the cake was when he took out the infected implant in his office, which makes a woman feel really terrible and ugly and scared, and his very kind PA told me I have beautiful eyes. Wow. What a caring team."

"Had DCF rhinoplasty with Dr. Schierle, Dr. Moradian, and Monica in Dec of 2024. Definitely THE best experience I had ! The consultation was personalized, you could tell they are some of the best surgeons in the game. I never had any surgeries, so I was very nervous. But they made the process so smooth. I loved the results so much. They kept my natural beauty and elevated the new nose to complement my face better. Even some of my close friends wanted to book a consultation with them after seeing my new nose! 100000/10 recommend!"

"If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, experienced, and intuitive with the needle then go see Brittany!! She is hands down the best. I took my mom to see her for a consultation with hopes to fix a facial injury, she took the time to really listen and give her honest opinion on what would be best for treatment. After a very thorough consult, they landed on a plan for filler to improve her injury and help her feel like herself again. This treatment literally brought tears to my mom’s eyes and brought her confidence back! So go so Brittany for all of the treatments, you won’t regret it!"
"I can’t say enough, what a great experience I had with Dr. Simon Moradian. His work is outstanding, he is caring, patient and kind. I had an upper blepharoplasty, it was easy, painless and I was back to playing tennis is 9 days (don’t tell him). If you are debating, don’t, it is a good thing. Dr. Moradian is a great doctor to trust and be under his care. Hope you are as fortunate as I was."
"When my smartwatch started showing blood oxygen levels below 90%, I knew I needed to do something about my blocked nasal passages. What was holding me back was finding a specialist who had a similar view of the balance between form and function. I knew I needed to breathe better but I also needed reassurances that my nose would not look the worse for it. It was my lucky day when I walked through the doors of the NSPSMEDSPA and met with Dr. Shierle. He was calm, funny, honest, and supportive. He understood and had explanations for my symptoms and options for solutions. His reassurances based on experience were thoughtful and on point. His depth of knowledge was beyond impressive. September 2024, Dr. Shierle performed my septoplasty. It has been life altering. My oxygen levels are solidly above 95%. My sleep the best it’s been in memory. And although it might be because I’m no longer scrunching it up to get air, my nose looks its best ever. I would be remiss if I did not also thank the NSPSMEDSPA staff. Appointments, insurance and paperwork were all taken care expertly and with a smile. Thank you everyone."
