He may be a good teacher but when putting knife to flesh not so much. Also very nice during first consult but after that cold and lack of compassion. Don't get anything dealing with an implant

Dr. Joseph Niamtu's response
Not sure if this is a real patient as this same review was also posted months ago. Also, all my patients have my cell phone and our office has a conflict resolution policy so it is extremely rare that we have an unhappy patient. We aim to please every single patient. Filler last longer in some patients and also some patients don't use enough for full correction, so some things are out of our control. In any event, if this truly is a real patient and is unhappy, please call our office so we can personally address your issues.

Dr Joe is a 2 hour drive from my home in Northern VA but I wouldn't trust anyone else with my lips. He applies his knowledge about facial symmetry and presents conservative solutions that make me look better without making me look fake. I know, that for my situation, he is a specialist and I trust his judgement. This is my 2nd time with him over the span of four years; and as long as I can I will continue to see Dr. Joe. The procedure took minutes and was very efficient without being too clinical. Thank you Dr. Joe!

I had a brow lift and blepharoplasty Oct 16. The results are better than I imagined. I now look like I'm "supposed" to look. My look isn't over-done, which I appreciate. Most people don't recognize the change until the pictures are side-by-side and then the difference is remarkable. Thank you to the staff at Love That Face. The girls were great! Made me feel like family. I was very nervous and they always stopped what they were doing to chat and make me feel comfortable. In hindsight, it was an easy procedure. Other than the minimal pain of bruising, there was absolutely no pain. I did not take any of the pain meds that were prescribed. Overall, the experience was positive and the results were more than good!

Sometimes patients expect way too much from simple filler. Frequently just not enough.

Dr. Niamtu was the first doctor that I came across when I searched for information in regards to a sebaceous cyst I had on my face. He had a video on YouTube of him performing a removal of a large sebaceous cyst and gave great detail on what he was doing and why he was doing it. When I discovered that he was right down the road from me (in Midlothian), I realized I had lucked out. I had one of the best of the bests in my backyard to take care of my problem.

I was very impressed with the way that his staff treated me and Dr. Niamtu did an excellent job removing the cyst from my face. Very small surgical incision, short duration of surgery and virtually no pain felt after the local had worn off. A+ job.

Dr. Niamtu recently removed a mole from my face. It has been about a month since the procedure and you can't even tell where the mole used to be. I am so pleased with the results! Dr. Niamtu and his staff were helpful, punctual, knowledgeable and friendly! The entire experience was so easy, I wish I would have done this years ago. I wouldn't trust my face to anyone else. THANKS!

I have been seeing Dr. Niamtu since I got lip fillers for my high school graduation present( about 3 years ago). Since I choose to do fillers I see him as ofter as I need to, depending on my plans the next several months. If i go to him and say “this time i want large lips to last me 4 months, thats what he gives me. If i say I want a natural look, and to just add air to the tires to have a nice plump up then thats what he gives me. Don’t even get me started about the staff, they are AMAZING. you start to feel like family after a while and in the 3 years seeing him I have never been left un attended for more than 5 minutes or disrespected in anyway shape or form. My absolute favorite thing about him, is that he's ALWAYS on time, the longest I've ever waited was about 16 minutes to be called back. Im absolutely in love with my results and I cannot thank Dr. Niamtu enough for helping me feel prettier than ever(: RECOMMEND HIM 100% !
