Arielle NB Kauvar, MD

The office has a very chill, zen energy. Very clean, and quiet. Everything about it feels private, discreet– from the front door on in. Great office staff (the ones I dealt with were super nice). Not a place I can afford to go to regularly, unfortunately, and the supplementary treatment products require extra room in your budget, but unlike some of the other reviewers, my appointment was handled in a timely, pleasant manner.

Warning, PLEASE DO NOT GO TO SEE DR. KAUVER IF YOU HAVE MELASMA. Dr. Kauver not only is rude and has zero empathy but she will throw procedures at you that you don’t need and will make your skin look worse. I read Dr. Kauvar’s study on Melasma and thought it was going to be my saving grace but sadly it was not. I went to her office in August, and for starters the woman working at the front desk is miserable. She is not kind and honestly very rude to patients. Dr. Kauver said I needed her special treatment for melasma, which includes micro and the Q-​YAG laser. She also sold me on another treatment for red skin. She threw and a bunch of products at me and told me that I couldn’t buy them online because they might be expired. I went back a month later, and my skin had gotten worse. I was crying and instead of being warm and kind, she and her nurse told me that it was my fault for being in the sun (I wasn’t in the sun at all). They told me that sadly, I was the 1% of clients that her magical procedure didn’t work for. They offered up no other solution and left me with worse Melasma and a $ 1,400 bill to show for it.
Please trust me, this doctor is not worth going to unless you want simple fillers done. I have no idea how she has published so many papers and is a professor. Not to mention that her own skin is terrible which should have been a huge red flag.

It was about 45 min passed my appointment time, and was called in to a room and waited for about another 45 min. Assistants were all very nice (a plus star point for them), but no apology from the doctor. When I came in for the second appointment, they made me wait again for about the same amount of time, and no apology from the doctor. I paid hundreds and no result, so will not come back here again.

I’ve seen Dr. Kauvar several times now for Botox. Hands down, her injection delivery is the very best. I’ve never once left with detectable marks and have never bruised. Rather amazing, as I know it’s very common for some marking to occur for at least a day or two. She’s so patient, careful and meticulous. I want a super natural look, and she makes a point to start slowly and ensure that I’m happy with results. She’s incredibly smart and takes the time to discuss the pros and cons of various treatments. Love her and the office. Staff is very professional and office is super clean. Highly recommend.

DR. Kauvar is a really really great doctor and very professional. I came for a birth mark treatments and so far I see a huge improvement! She answers all my questions and explains everything I want to know. Her staff is great, some more then others. I 100% recommend!

I had an appointment at 130 and arrived five minutes early. The receptionist first told me that there was one person ahead of me. After an hour I ask again. I am told the doctor is now in surgery, even though surgeries can only begin in the morning. This strikes me as odd but I have taken off work and decide to stick it out. I wait another hour and ask again, this time more insistent. The receptionist asks that I make an appointment for another day. I say no, since for obvious reasons I do not intend to come back. I am seen after two and a half hours for ten minutes.

Dr. Kauvar is as professional as it gets and is extremely knowledgeable. Her office is also clean and has an excellent staff.
