The Geldner Center

I began going to Beata for LHR after a family member’s recommendation and a Groupon deal (Soooo worth it!) that I just could not pass up. I could not be more thrilled with my results. Beata is ridiculously skilled and highly knowledgeable. She manages to be incredibly friendly and down to earth without compromising any professionalism. I recommend her to absolutely everyone! Thank you Dr. Geldner, for employing such a talented esthetician. I can’t wait to come back. :)

Deanna is a a gem! Super sweet and made me feel so comfy doing my LHR. One of the best Groupons I’ve ever purchased!

I had laser hair removal from Beata and have had no problems, the front desk staff and Beata are great. I will definitely be coming back to get more laser hair removal and recommend the center and Beata to everyone.

There are two sides to this review.
Lynn would get 5 full stars. I adore her personality and the way she handles the needle for botox. She is beyond friendly, offers wonderful suggestions as to what would look most natural and attractive with your facial structure. She is gentle and you hardly feel anything. Scheduling to get in should be handled with care. She is good at her job, so be sure to be smart and schedule in advance.
Price-​wise, the first visit was steep but I base that as a new patient/​first-​time appointment. Whereas the second appointment in which I added a botox treatment to my upper lip was far lower. I would say if you scout out the area of trusted offices their prices are no different.
Apart from Lynn, I made an appointment with Dr. Geldner for a rhinoplasty consultation. This is where I am not a fan. I made the appointment weeks in advance and when I showed up, I waited in the room for nearly a half an hour. It’s a doctors office so this is expected, but 30 minutes is time wasted. When Dr. Geldner came in, he barely said anything other than shooing off all of my two seconds of saying why I was there and referred me to an Otolaryngologist to whom he partners with when or if you mention anything involving medical concerns. This is called selective hearing when you don’t say – I just want a nose job. He was in the room for 5 minutes if that.
I walked out frustrated and downright disgusted by the ‘bedside’ manner. Part of me wonders if the doctor couldn’t be bothered with consults. It’s truly a shame because they lost a patient who was ready and prepared to move forward with a procedure.

Lynn Hollins is exceptional with Botox. I had Botox done 4 days ago, I couldn’t be more pleased with my results. She kept me looking younger in a natural way without going overboard. Big thanks to her!

Love this place! Bought a groupon years ago for laser hair removal (LHR) and recently bought another. They have upgraded their lasers so the pain is much more tolerable. My aesthetician is Biata and she is great. Friendly and super fast so our sessions go by in breeze. If you are in the market for LHR call and ask for their groupon rates!

I am reviewing the aesthetics side of this business. I would give the service 5-​stars — Lindsay was professional and very friendly.
But the pricing is ridiculous, I feel ripped off and will not return. I received a SkinMedica Rejuvenize peel and was told it was on special for $ 350 (discounted from $ 400). I’ve had SkinMedica peels in the past but of a lower strength so I assumed that’s why this higher strength was more (for comparison — at my previous derm I could buy 3 for $ 400 or $ 150/​each).
After my peel, the more I thought about it, the more incredible this price seemed. I started calling other derms/​spas in Chicago offering the same SkinMedica peel and found them to be about $ 225 (including the consult etc). So (at full price) a difference of $ 175.
I feel so incredibly ripped off, I will never return here. And while the service was fine, there was nothing above and beyond that would justify this.
Also, an interview with Deanna of the Geldner Center on radio md from May 2013 noted that peels run $ 100 – 300, which means they greatly increased their prices (33%?!) from the prior year or Geldner is outside a normal range.

I love this place! I just had my first session for laser hair removal that I purchased from Groupon. They were really nice and didn’t treat me any differently because of the Groupon. I felt like a valued customer there.
Lindsey is the one who took care of me and made me feel very comfortable while zapping my hair follicles away. The whole procedure took about 10 minutes.
The only reason for a ⁴⁄₅ is because I tried to book for a consult online but that didn’t work out. I called them after a week and got an appointment booked right away. They also sent me emails on what to do before and after the LHR. I look forward to my next appointment and will update when all my sessions are completed.

Wow! Jill Jensen is amazing! After meeting her at Tiffany Kim and getting the most amazing, natural results from her, I am loyal to her for life. Not only did she give me fantastic results, but she is an incredible woman who truly desires to give you the best service possible. When she accepted a position in Hinsdale, I knew I would follow her to the ends of the earth. Go see Jill and you will not be disappointed.

I bought Groupons for six laser hair removal (LHR) treatments at three different locations, including the Geldner Center. I was looking for cheap treatments and was not committed to any of the three businesses. Now there’s nowhere else I will go and that is because of Deanna Stellato.
I started seeing Deanna and was so impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, and honesty that I chose to have the other LHR treatments I wanted done here. She not only knows her stuff but is warm and always puts you at ease, which is nice if you’re having, um, delicate areas worked on.
But don’t let her sweet smile and pleasant demeanor fool you — when she puts on the wraparound sunglasses and grabs her laser gun, she’s like the Dirty Harry of LHR, if you’ll forgive the pun. And in a few, short minutes, you’re this much closer to a less fuzzier you.

I got my eyebrows done by Deanna and I looooove them. I would highly recommend seeing her if you are in need of eyebrows.

I would give this place 5 stars — easily. The only reason I docked 4 stars is because I arrive 5 minutes before my appointment but I end up waiting 15 – 20 to be seen. They really need to see clients at their scheduled time.

This dr did my breast surgery (lift and mild augmentation 32dd to a 32 ddd) the results are natural. My neighbor was so impressed she had hers done. he also does my botox every 4 months and keeps things looking natural. He has a great bedside manner. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

I get my laser hair removal treatments at the Geldner Center and am extremely satisfied. My aesthetician Beata is awesome. She is pleasant to talk to and easy to work with. Another reason I like this place is that prices are very reasonable. Also, you can usually find parking on the street in front of the building so it’s not too much of a hassle. I shopped around for other laser treatment places and came right back here because I was so happy with the Geldner Center :)

I would give these butchers a –1,000,000 if I could. My wife went in to get a basic hair removal for an area above her waist on her back and received several treatments, by the third the non-​certified technician (we later found out) told her she would increase the intensity of the laser. She did, and subsequently BURNED HER.
The Geldner Center refuses to take ANY RESPONSIBILITY for this and defaulted to their «you may get a burn» from treatment line. My wife had had hair removal from other places, even outside the state and NEVER, EVER received a burn.
This was an extremely painful laser burn (the wrong laser was used and the wrong intensity for her skin type). Her skin turned pink and had a horrible scab over 6″ long and 5″ tall. She could not workout, dress herself, or even bend over for weeks.
This is the most horrible, lousy, two-​bit operation I have ever seen and I will take these people to court if it takes me the rest of my life. She has a permanent SCAR she will have the rest of her life.
Ladies, BEWARE! Stay home, stay away!

Every subsequent appointment has been amazing. I think I caught them on a bad day. Really enjoy my quick appointments, and LOVE my aesthetician. She has fit me in on days when things pop up and I need an earlier appointment. Highly recommend them!

I was very apprehensive about having plastic surgery, but I had been talking about having breast reduction surgery for years. I was looking for a plastic surgeon who cared about his patients more than his paycheck.
I found everything that I was looking for in Dr. Geldner. He has a great sense of humor and was so comforting during the process. My results are great and I am so happy i went through the process and I chose him as my surgeon.

I just went here for Botox with Dr. Geldner. I love the results. I like my forehead nice and frozen but still natural. Dr. Geldner was able to make it happen. I’m 30 so people don’t imagine I’ve had Botox done which is exactly what I want — freeze the wrinkles, but make it look natural. Competitively priced for a top notch doctor. I will keep coming back as soon as it wears off!!!
I also recently had my eyebrows and eyeliner permanently tattooed with Deanna Stellato who is the aesthetician at the Geldner Center. Excellent results! people cannot believe it is a tattoo as it looks natural. They were even able to numb my forehead for the eyebrow tattoo.

Ah, laser hair removal. With the sting of your zap and the tedious repeated visits, who can really truly say anything good about the experience?
Which is exactly why it is essential to go to a place like the Geldner Center to have LHR done — where the staff are professional and the office is well run. Deanna has been great in booking my appointments. There is hardly ever any of that waiting around/​long delay business. I am in and out of the office in less than 25 minutes which is the way it should be.
I have not had any negative issues with LHR at the Geldner Center and have been seeing great results!

I highly recommend that any looking to get Botox injections from Dr. Geldner, to RUN NOT WALK AS FAR AWAY FROM HIM AS YOU CAN! I’ve had Botox from another doctor for the past 5 years with stellar results and I never had one complaint or issue about his work. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the results of injections Dr. Geldner did to my face. The photo of me listed here was taken PRIOR to seeing Dr. Geldner. Unfortunately, as a result of his handiwork with giving me Botox, I’m no longer able to smile. In fact, when I try to smile I look like a monster as my mouth is turned downward, my lips are no longer symmetrical and I’m unable to show my pearly whites.
I am new to the area so I went on the web to find doctor’s that provided Botox injections. I found The Geldner Center website. I wish to God that I never stumbled upon their website. If I hadn’t scheduled an appointment with him I’d still be able to physically smile.
I’m in sales and a smile goes a long way when talking to potential customers and giving presentations to groups of decision makers. Not to mention, I’m an outgoing person that use to have a smile beaming from my face until I received Botox from Dr, Geldner. I immediately contacted Dr. Geldner to ask him what could be done to reverse this nightmare he caused. He said that there was nothing he could do and that only time would be able to make this better when the Botox wears off. Only then will I be able to smile again. I was in tears when he told me this and his response was «tell people you had dental work done specifically a root canal». I was even more furious at his comment of what I should say the cause was for my face looking the way it was”.
To make things worse, if you can imagine, I left the Office Manager (think it’s Geldner’s wife) that I want a full refund for this botched up mess that only Dr. Geldner causes and was told that I will NOT be getting one penny back and that they didn’t take too lightly to threats and they would take action against me! What nerve!!! What threat??? Imagine that… he damaged my face, my smile, confidence and she had the nerve to tell me I wouldn’t get one penny back? I told her that I will make every effort I can to make certain that no other individual has to be disfigured the way I have as a result from the works of Dr. Geldner.
I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND DR. GELDNER!
