LOVE LOVE Dr. Grossman's New Sunscreen!!!!!!
"90% Nature, 10% Science, 100% Amazing! Dr. Grossman's new sunscreen "Complete Broad Spectrum SPF 50" feels silky and looks stunning while protecting my skin from the sun. The medium/dark shade looks like a mild glowing tan. It has now replaced my moisturizer, sunscreen, and foundation all in one. (Sorry Barney's!)"

Can't wait to explore other options within her practice
"Dr. Grossman is an amazingly talented and patient woman. I don't believe I have ever had a doctor spend so much time with me.. problem-solving, evaluating, reaching a plan, and then making it happen. My results were amazing that day, and have continued to improve. Without a doubt, she has a great eye and a selective hand with filler, or the dissolving of overfill situations like myself. Can't wait to explore other options within her practice … I am a Grossman convert!.."

My Eyes Convey The Joy Of Life Thanks To Dr. Grossman!
"My eyes are my defining feature. It's not only about the fear of looking tired all the time. I want my eyes to convey the joy of life that I really feel. They always have, and now thanks to Dr. Grossman and Thermage, they still do!"

Trusted For 17 Years
"I have trusted Dr. Grossman for 17 years. I originally came to her to revise and correct some issues I had with scarring and redness after some facial surgery. Her masterful techniques and artist's eye not only corrected the problems but she enhanced other areas polishing up the whole effect. I have depended on her several times a year ever since for whatever treatments I need. I have also brought along my husband whom she treated for skin cancer and my daughter for all of the wonderful treatments Karyn provides.
"Seeing Dale and Lorena in the office as long as I can remember is always a pleasure. Karyn is truly a professional, skilled and extremely ethical Dr. Thank you Dr. Grossman"

She Really Listened To My Concerns And Needs
"However, after hearing so many wonderful things about Dr. Grossman, I decided to visit her for a consultation. I can’t tell you how happy I am with that decision. She not only took the time to talk to me, she really listened to my concerns and needs. But mostly I was struck by how she was evaluating me, the way she was looking at me -- and that is, with the eye of an artist. I just had my second Botox and filler procedure with Dr. Grossman, and as with the first visit, I was literally amazed by the results. The changes were so subtle, yet they made a huge difference in my appearance; I looked at least 5-7 years younger, but more importantly, completely natural -- like me, only better! It was then that my eyes were open to the fact that plastic surgery is truly an art form -- in such a way that anyone can paint, but real artists are able to create masterpieces. My experiences have shown me that not all plastic surgeons are created equal. Dr. Grossman is in a league of her own. She is warm, friendly, and professional… and not only is she is an amazingly talented, highly skilled practitioner, in the world of plastic surgery, but she is also a rare and true artist"

Breath Of Fresh Air
"I've been a patient of Dr. Grossman for over seven years. She is the most thorough and detail orientated doctor with an impeccable eye. I send everyone to her and (of course) they become regular patients. She is a breath of fresh air and it's always wonderful catching up with her during an appointment. Dr. G is the only one to see."

Talent, Ethics, And Results Are Simply The Best.
"My husbands' review of my face after 15 years of being Dr. Grossman's patient: "You just don't age, do you?" Dr. Grossman is a brilliant dermatologist; wise, cautious, and highly skilled. I found out about her when I was tasked to do a report for a TV station I worked for and was told to interview/research and find the 'best of' dermatologists in town. After the report aired, listing several good dermatologists, I ended up choosing Karyn as my personal doctor. Her talent, ethics, and results are simply the best."

Worth Every Penny
"Before coming to Dr. Grossman, I had gone to 6 other dermatologists and none of them had helped me with my skin... I pay privately to go to her even though I have great health insurance. She is worth every penny."

I Recommend Her To All Of My Friends
"An amazingly thorough doctor… She has an absolutely unbelievable memory and always picks right back up on a topic long-ago discussed… I recommend her to all of my friends (one of whom had skin cancer, that she found!)."

I Am Amazed
"I just wanted to write a quick note and express how happy I am that I made an appointment to see Karyn. Not only is she just a lovely person, but I am so happy with the results. I no longer look tired, she took years off with just a couple of fillers and botox. I am amazed at how refreshed and natural I look, not to mention there was absolutely no bruising. Thank you again!"

Consistently Impressed With The Intelligence And Subtlety Of Her Approach
"I have been a patient of Karyn's for about 6 years. I have consistently been impressed with the intelligence and subtlety of her approach to cosmetic dermatology. The difference between Karyn and other doctors was recently made abundantly clear to me when, out of convenience, I had another well-known doctor give me botox. I thought "how much difference can there really be?" and since I was there anyway, and since he was somewhat less costly, I gave it a try. Well, I regretted this decision because my face just looked weird for the months afterwards. Nothing dramatically dreadful, but an overall frozen and unnatural look that I never had with Karyn."

People Tell Me Wow, You Look So Young
"She has such a light and natural touch. In fact, the last time I got Botox with her, my husband (who does not like me getting Botox because he thinks I look great without it) said, "Wow, you look so young and rested. See baby, you don't need Botox!) Awwww. Dr. G...job well done!"

I Love Dr. Grossman!
"I love Dr. Grossman! I had been receiving Restylane injections for years in my nasolabial folds and although my folds were gone, the rest of my face was hallowing. Dr. Grossman corrected this by putting the appropriate fillers where her skillful eye determined they needed to be! She did an amazing job and I have been thrilled with the results! The best part is you don't look like you had anything done and everyone thinks you've never looked better!"

I Cannot Recommend Dr. Grossman Enough
"I cannot recommend Dr. Grossman enough for Botox and or fillers. She has the magic touch. She knows how to provide just enough to make you look fresh and youthful, without going overboard and distorting your face. We've all seen those people whose faces look frozen or who have lips you can see from outer space. I went to a supposedly "amazing" doctor in Beverly Hills once. I went in to get filler in my lips. I had a consultation with him and told him I was looking for a little plumper lip but nothing too drastic. Well, when he was finished he handed me a mirror and I had a flash of what the elephant man must have felt when he looked at himself for the first time. I was horrified to see a set of lips that could have kept the Titanic afloat. In fact, the filler went beyond my lips and made my entire mouth area look swollen and distorted. I was hysterical and embarrassed and extremely upset that I had done this to myself. I grabbed a box of Kleenex to cover my mouth and ran out of his office wailing. I heard him yell after me "Oh you women are all the same. You'll be back in a week for more" How could this man have a license? I had to hide in my house for some time!! Needless to say I have never experienced anything like this with Dr. G."

Great Results
"Before going to Dr. Grossman, I had been to several doctors for Botox/filler treatments and the results were less than satisfactory. It seemed as if they had a one-size fits all philosophy that didn’t suit my needs: I ended up with too much distortion, the “too frozen” look, droopy eyebrows, etc. So I was pretty wary about getting Botox or any other procedure again."

My Wife Looks Great
"I have sent a picture for your files of how my wife looks in full makeup for the first time post-op. Again, I must say you have done wonderful work, Doctor! My wife looks great, not artificial in any way, and I enjoy watching her get younger every year. I just felt you might like a beauty shot for your observation and your records. Many thanks for your expertise and to your thoughtful staff."

Literally Taken 10 Years Off My Face
"Please give Dr. Grossman a big thank you for the filler she did for me on Friday. It has literally taken 10 years off my face and I am so happy with it, it really makes a difference in my mood every day! Her recommendations were right on and her work is impeccable. See you in 6 months for the touch-up!"
