Thesiger Paul S MD PC

I purchased a Groupon for Botox and called to make my appointment– I was shocked to find out that his next available appt wasn’t until the first week of November for first time patients, it wasn’t even October yet! But, the good ones always have a waiting list, so I kept that in mind. Then– I ended up having to reschedule and the girls up front accommodated me to fit MY schedule, and I was in their office the next week. It was no problem at all– no cancellation fees or anything crazy like other providers. The only downside was paying for parking, next time I’ll find a free public parking– it was $ 8 for me to park in the building! :(anyway– His staff is beautiful and beyond accommodating. I got there almost 45 mins early and the girls let me go back sooner, so I could be on my way back to northern VA. I didn’t wait at all for him to come to my room, Dr Thesiger is a wonderful, well put– together physician. He is in amazing physical shape– and was dressed in professional, yet modern style. For myself, this is important, it means he’s keeping himself up to date– especially when you’re a cosmetic surgeon, that’s paramount. His bedside manner is impeccable, his gentle hands and engaging conversation made it worth my drive to Chevy Chase. I’m already seeing results, no bruising and minimal swelling. NOT ONCE did he push other products or tell me I needed to buy more units of Botox. Some practices frown upon the Groupon and immediately want you to purchase more in office… That never happened with Dr Thesiger or his staff. I will definitely make the hour trip to see him again in 3 months. I highly recommend this provider. Oh and by the way– I remembered– My husband did the steeplechase.

I was a little leery since I found this service on groupon but I was impressed. That says something because I have been to many doctors both surgeons and dermatologist. Dr Thesiger was the absolute best. I am sensitive to pain and he went above and beyond to ensure that I did not feel any discomfort. It was undoubtedly the most pain free session that Ive experienced so far. I have made an appointment for additional services.

Great and knowledgeable doctor, friendly staff! Very professional and welcoming. I high recommend them for anyone who is looking for something as small as a facial or botox to something as big as a mommy makeover or breast augmentation. They make you feel like you are part of the family.

Well, I guess I’ll start by saying that if I could raise an eyebrow (more on that later) at all of these stellar reviews, I would certainly do so.
First — let’s begin with the whole idea of going to a plastic surgeon you find through a groupon. Great idea? I’m just saying. Maybe think about it.
Next, we should probably discuss the whole 1984 Miami Vice fever dream vibe that is this guy’s waiting area — replete with blue carpet, tired pleather and chrome modular furniture and sparkly metallic ‘art’ on the walls. Seriously, you’ll be sitting there waiting for Sonny Crockett to come walking through the door for a neck lift.
Oh, and probably best to just disregard the two morose creatures lurking behind the front desk (they probably won’t talk to you anyway).
That about sums it up for me; I mean, if a doctor who can literally *rearrange your face* is offering discount coupons and that doesn’t give you pause, then certainly said aesthetic surgeon’s obvious disregard for aesthetics in his general office environment should? No?
Unfortunately, I dismissed both of these screaming red flags and forged ahead, groupon in hand. The results are pretty much what you’d expect. I’ve been getting botox for ten years about (and am obviously still looking for a decent injector since our relocation to DC) and I know what I need: stick to the corrugator (that causes the «11s») and stay away from the epicranials — the «lifters».
No, no I don’t care about my wrinkled forehead — I like to lift my eyebrows.
That’s right — just the lines between my brows NOTHING ELSE.
Seriously. I mean it. Leave my forehead alone. Just the lines between my brows.
After a LOT of unpleasant back and forthing (seriously, the most condescending and bizarre interaction I’ve ever had with a doctor — he’s a real mansplainer, this one), I was poked more times than I’ve ever been before, in bizarre areas of my face that have never been treated before. RESULTS: The corrugators are still rocking and the lines have diminished not at all. But I can’t lift my left brow at all — so that’s something, eh? Right eyebrow — normal. Left eyebrow will NOT be lifted.
It’s bad. Really bad. So bad that I returned for a second visit for him to give me some more mansplainin’ about how great he is and clearly misinformed I am (non-​lifting eyebrow is GREAT!), had more bizarrely unpleasant interaction in his seemingly always empty office (save the two morose creatures who lurk about unspeakingly) — and he finally refunded the groupon.
I gave him an extra star for refunding the groupon without me having to ask.
And then I took it away because he demanded that I allow him to take pictures of my face before I Ieft. Seriously. That happened.
Bottom-​line: This guy is a piece of work, you guys. AVOID AVOID AVOID. And I’d recommend that you take the rest of these «reviews» with a grain of salt, as well. A big grain of salt. Like a pound of it.
Oh, and I’m still looking for someone in this damn town that really knows how to inject Botox. DM me if you have any recommendations.

Top-​notch! Knowledgable, thorugh and skilled doc! If you are looking for a good experience with Botox, this is the place to go.

I had botox with Dr. Thesiger last week. Great price (Groupon) Call the office if the deal is not on and they may still honor it. I have had Botox for the past 11 years and this is the best experience EVER. Dr. T. Is so gentle… The needle did not hurt at all!!! I will definitely return for anything I need in the future. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I did not have to wait for my appt. I highly recommend! Great results!

I love Dr. T. and his staff! Highly recommended whether you want something as small as a medical grade facial or a mommy makeover! ;)

I had a procedure with Dr Thesiger and he is the best! I am so happy.
Thank you, Dr T! You are an incredibly kind and highly ethical individual. I wish you much success.

Very knowledgable staff. They have an excellent laser services. Great value and great results! Good job Dr. Paul!
