    Went to First Glance for laser hair removal as I have struggled with dark, thick hair my whole life and wanted a more permanent solution. I really wish I had done my research prior. Almost every appointment for my 6 treatments I had a different staff member, they all told me different things and couldn’t give me clear answers about my progress. I felt as though I wasn’t valued as a customer being younger, and not getting more expensive treatments like some other clients. I went consistently for the package I purchased and saw no results, I even conveyed to the staff members my concerns, but they made me feel as though nothing could be done because of my hair type. I started going to a new clinic, for a quarter of the price, and saw results instantly. I’m not interested in getting a reply saying it depends on hair growth, hormones, and time frames between treatments… if nothing is happening and the client is not happy, for the price I paid there should be more attention and steps taken for the best way to proceed. It was a mixture of seeing no progress and not being treated well that I would never go back or recommend First Glance.

    Dr Avi was absolutely wonderful! He answered all my questions and his care was amazing! The whole clinic and everyone in it was amazing!! But Dr Mitchell and his nurse Lisa were absolutely incredible! They put me at ease immediately and talked through every single aspect of the before, during and after! If anyone is looking to feel beautiful in their own skin again, take my advice and go see Dr Ryan Mitchell!!

    Great first experience, Bethany was amazing and really understood the look I was wanting to achieve. Very clean and professional environment! Also very friendly front desk staff. I will definitely be coming back, and would recommend first glance for anyone interested in fillers and Botox.

    While looking at surgeons and their reviews, I came across First Glance. I went with Dr. Brichacek for my surgery and hands down, he did an amazing job. My deviated septum was a lot more complex than we had thought and I feel like he did the best possible job to improve my breathing. Dr. Brichacek and his team were so nice, treated me with respect and listened to my concerns. I didn’t feel nervous the day of the procedure as I knew that I would be in good hands. I highly recommend them. Getting a consult did take a bit of time but I can see why… him and his team are truly the best!

    Each experience I have had at The First Glance has been exceptional. Courteous phone conversations, warm welcoming reception that truly makes you feel at home in the clinic. I can't recommend Dr.Mitchell enough. Fantastic bedside manner. Went through every detail and I couldn't be happier with my results. Further to that I have been seeing Jenn who has tailored my treatments specifically to my needs all while balancing her expertise in choosing the right product for me. I truly couldn't be happier with every experience I have had and each individual I have had the pleasure of interacting with. Thank you for being such a superior team.

    Thank you to Dr. Bricachek and the wonderful nurse team. From the pre operative nurse to the post operative nurse that got me dressed. I really appreciated every single professional person I had interacted with. You guys made me feel safe and all my concerns were heard. I wouldn’t trust anyplace else with big life changing decisions like I trust The First Glance Clinic and the people who work there.

    I highly recommend First Glance. Clinic is clean and beautiful. Staff are all friendly, and most of all to Dr. Ryan Mitchell and his team are all awesome. Dr. Mitchell explained the procedure in detail, and is very friendly, approachable and always has smile on his face. I was so nervous but him and his team assured me that everything will be ok, i will be taken care of. From my first visit and after my surgery my experience is amazing. Can’t Thank you enough Dr.Mitchell and the team. (5 star is not enough 😊)

    It all started with the consult. As soon as I stepped foot into the clinic I was greeted with friendly faces and kindness. Dr. Brichachek listened to my goals and properly guided me to making the best decision for my expectations with surgery. Leading up to the surgery date, the staff was in contact with me. Ensuring I had all the necessary medical paperwork for my chart, discussing pre-op information and reviewing post-op care prior to surgery. The day of surgery I was anxious and nervous, and the staff reassured me and made me feel comfortable. I spoke with the nurses, surgeon and the anesthetist before going into the OR. Waking up in recovery went smoothly. My nurse was very attentive and pleasant. The next day Dr. Brichachek followed up on how I was doing and reviewed what to expect over the next few days and encouraged me to reach out to him with any concerns. I am looking forward to my results!

    The first glance experience is top tier. The medical staff are kind, helpful, extremely intelligent, and proficient at their job. Dr Islur is very thorough and does an excellent job of explaining procedures etc. The medical facility is state of the art and offers a very private and relaxing experience. I would easily recommend this clinic to friends and family.

    Dr. Islur is a fantastic Doctor. I had liposuction on my arm then fat transfer into both hands. I loved the results! I love my hands 🙌 My hands looked skeletal before and now they look plump and youthful. Thank you Dr. Islur , nurses and all staff. It was a comfortable, safe and over all positive experience. My results exceeded my expectations💕🌈.

    First Glance is always a great experience. I see Jill for laser hair removal, and have seen Kelsey for Botox. I know that no matter the treatment, I'm always going to receive AAA+ service. First Glance does well in managing expectations and being honest with what treatments are appropriate (or not) and have patient safety and results at top of mind. It's also a beautiful clinic and front staff (Ryan and others) are always so welcoming and kind. Can't wait for my next treatment!

    I am very excited to see all the results from my mommy makeover. But I can say that the stuff in the clinic are incredibly helpful. They made me feel at ease. Lisa is a sweetheart. Dr Islur is the best. I will share pictures when swelling is down.

    Always a great experience at First Glance from the call to entering the clinic. The professional staff are knowledgeable and approachable. It’s very obvious this clinic holds their staff to a high standard. Kelsey has been my nurse injector and she is a 10/10. She’s talented and her technique is flawlessly executed in a way that you can tell she’s done additional training that makes her an expert. On top of all that she’s just so lovely and makes even a quick 15 minute appointment feel like you were catching up with a friend. She’s always realistic and makes me feel confident every time I leave (even before the botox kicks in).

    There isn’t enough stars for this option, if I could leave 100 ✨I would! I have been a fan/client of First Glance for a couple years now. From the minute you walk in you feel so welcomed. The atmosphere is so comforting and everyone who works there, from front desk, to injectors to Doctor Islur himself are honestly one of the best group’s of humans. I also since have been sending all my own clients(I’m a hair stylist)to them and they too leave feeling so happy with their treatments. If you have been thinking about booking an apt with First Glance , here’s you sign to do it!

    I have been going to First Glance for over a decade now. First I saw Dr. Anthony Lockwood, then Amanda Lockwood and now I am seeing Lindsay. Lindsay is absolutely AMAZING, and is always able to make me look and feel how I want to. She is friendly and professional, and boy is she good at what she does. The service I receive at the clinic is always 100%. I have never been mistreated, never felt judged, and I have always enjoyed my time there. It's almost like a spa day for me each time I go and I will always continue to have my treatments done at First Glance!

    It was my first treatment at First Glance and the ladies at the front desk were so kind and lovely to me from the time I entered to the time I left. I had some trouble with my payment methods and they didn't make me feel embarrassed and did their best to make me feel welcome! The woman who preformed my treatment was very gentle and explained everything to me and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I can't wait to go back for another treatment!

    I had an amazing experience at the First Glance Aesthetic Clinic and Surgery Center. Dr. Birchacek is one of the talented plastic/cosmetic surgeons we have in the city. I find him very calm and collective and explained everything in detail. He is very knowledgeable, attentive, and even go extra mile to get the outcome that is suitable for my facial feature. I'm writing is review after 6 months post surgery. Very happy with the procedure and pre/post care provided to me. Friendly staff, effective service, beautiful results, would definitely see him again.

    Jen was so amazing and incredibly informative during my first visit with First Glance. She made sure I was well informed with todays procedures as well as future treatments we had discussed. She was transparent and honest about her opinions on what would give me the best natural results. I couldn’t say more positive things about my experience today !! I will 100% be coming back to visit Jen.

  • 5/5 Caitlin E. 11 months ago on Google
    After loosing 100lbs and developing a hernia, I was left with a lot of loose skin and was very uncomfortable and insecure about my abdomen. After seeking care at multiple clinics, I was able to connect with Dr. Islur. A fluer de Lis, hernia repair, and muscle tighting was the recommended procedure to address the concerns I had. Initially I was pretty scared of the procedure, but that staff at First Glance were quick to help me feel comfortable and confident in the decision to go through with the FDL tummy tuck. All around the clinic was great! The atmosphere and staff where incredible, and I was very impressed with Dr. Islur's bedside manner and commitment to ensuring I was well informed and confident in our treatment plan.

    As a very anxious person, I was quite nervous about my procedure; and even the steps prior to procedure day. The First Glance staff immediately dissolved my anxiety with their amazing, kind, and professional bedside manner. Not only was every member of the staff I encountered extremely professional, but they were also so personable which really elevated my experience. From start to finish they did an amazing job and I absolutely love my results! I would highly recommend them for your procedure, especially if you suffer from anxiety. It was all in all a wonderful experience and I look forward to coming back in the future.

    I've been seeing Kelsey for two years now. She takes the time to listen to what I need and uses her expertise to come up with a plan to achieve it. The botox i receive looks natural, I have full range of motion in my face and never have a heavy feeling or headache after. I have not been able to achieve this with anyone else. Kelsey is also not afraid to tell you no, or that something will not look good, which is rare. I enjoy our visits and look forward to the next one!

    My skin is the best it has looked in years. I've had 2 photo facials and am thrilled with the results. Jackie put my nerves at ease, and fully explained everything I needed to know about the procedure. She's amazing.

    If I could select more stars I would have, to be honest I had no clue what to expect going in for the consultation. The minute I walked in the door for my consultation with Dr.Mitchell, I was met at the front door by wonderful staff that treated me respectfully and took the time to explain the forms I was filling out. Next they took me into a room where they give you wonderful robes to wear and an assistant is there giving you step by step instructions on what will happen in the appointment. Dr.Mitchell came in and examined me and asked me what my lifestyle is like and what I am looking for. He showed me the implants and explained everything on how they heal and what size recommendations he had so I could feel comfortable resuming my daily life. I left the office with all questions answered before I even asked them- for me that’s a challenge because I ask a lot of questions all the time.They also give you a log in so you can see your 3D profile and flip between what size of implants so you can make the right decision for you. A month or so prior to surgery I sat down with Karen who again explained the procedure and all the recovery instructions and what it’s going to feel like every step of the way as I recover at at home post surgery. Again she answered my questions before I even asked them! Surgery day finally arrived thanks to covid delaying it for me! I was met at the door with welcoming faces that explained again each step that was going to happen from here on in. All the nurses and the anesthesiologist came in to say hello and give me a play by play of their job and what they’ll be doing to make me feel comfortable during my stay. Dr.Mitchell came in and explained again the surgery and recovery. Post surgery while in the recovery room Lisa was taking care of me and she was a gem! All in all 100% would recommend First Glance to anyone who is looking to have cosmetic surgery. I can’t say enough about how knowledgeable the staff are and Dr.Mitchell. Each and everyone I met during the process from the first call to post surgery took their time to explain absolutely everything I needed to know. Thanks again First Glance for making my dream a reality and taking care of me every step of the way!

    What an amazing experience! Every single person I had help me was a pleasure. I've had a few surgeries in my day, but The First Glance was a great experience. While waiting for my procedure, I was seated in a private room with a TV, an automatic recliner with heat and massage options. Once into the OR the team very quickly gets you prepared and under. In what feels like seconds, you wake into a cozy recovery room with amazing nurses. A++ By far an amazing experience and I'd highly recommend having your cosmetic procedure done here. Breast augmentation complete Happy customer 🙂♥️

    I’ve been seeing Lindsay for Botox and filler and she’s amazing! The little bit of filler she has put in has made me look more rested and I feel more confident due to that. It’s also lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. Its been worth every penny and I tell all of my clients about her! If you want natural, long lasting results, go see her.

    My experience at the First Glance Aesthetic Clinic was very positive. The staff are very polite and made you feel very cared for. I went to see Dr. Ryan Mitchell for a scar revision procedure that he performed and I was very happy with the way I was treated as a patient. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions and concerns so I felt very comfortable and at ease when I had the procedure done. I would definitely recommend this clinic and doctor to anyone!

    My experience with First Glance clinic was excellent! I had seen Meghen for a skin care consultation. I wanted to know more about starting to incorporate medical grade products into my skin care routine. She was able to help me figure out what my specific skin care needs are and recommend products and possible future treatments. I really appreciated the time she spent with me, her thoroughness and her level of knowledge was amazing. I would most definitely return to First Glance for further aesthetic services. 🙂

    First class service and treatment. Service providers listen to you very carefully and aim to please. They take their work, products and services very seriously and want you to look and feel like a million bucks when you leave. Special thanks to Dr Islur and his surgical team! I highly recommend for all your nip and tuck needs and desires.

  • 5/5 Theresa N. 2 years ago on Google
    Hey The First Glance! I wanted to toot your horn!! In Aug/Sept of 2011, I received a breast augmentation from Dr. Lockwood. It has now been 10 years…. they settled wonderfully as Doc said they would…. They fit my body as Doc said they would … they look and feel real as Doc said they would …. And today …. I am 1000% of my decision and the results I have gotten. I have never had any concerns regarding my implants! It was the best $7500 spent!! Kudos to you and your team! Cheers to more years of perfect tatas! 😂🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Theresa

  • 3/5 Joy D. 2 years ago on Google
    I so wanted to get an consultation for selective surgery, but unfortunately the establishment is requiring a PCR Covid test prior to surgery. Just cannot put myself in that position when I do not scientifically believe that the test is accurate. I am at know means putting down anyone's character that works for First Glance, but administration needs to let potential clients know about having to take this evasive test if they decide to go through with selective surgery. Consultations cost $100.00. I so happen had to ask the receptionist if there was any protocol they were following with regards to Covid and if I hadn't asked her , I would have found out after the fact of paying out the $100.00 dollars. Not right. Thanks Courtney for your reply. I'm the lady who just spoke to you and cancelled my appointment.

    I had two laser technicians, both were professional and knowledgeable, and helped me to be comfortable / attentive to my questions or concerns. The area itself is clean and modern, and the staff is very kind and accommodating.

    I have a very personal connection with the First Glance, and it goes back to what feels like a decade. Though I don’t openly advertise my insecurities, I feel it’s important to share my experience. At a young age I was riddled with a virus that left me with permanent facial palsy. After corrective surgeries to get function back - the Aesthetics were not a top priority and rightfully so. I nervously called the first glance and first met with Amanda. We tried minimal Botox/ filler as I remained terrified it would trigger similar sensations. Over time and over the years I’ve met your surgeons from all over . One guest doctor went as far as to present my case to a team in Toronto in an effort to optimize my results. I couldn’t believe it! I then met Twyla who took the time in a trial and error process to help reanimate the aspects affected by palsy. I can’t count the times I have cried in front of your team because I was SO incredibly grateful for the time, care and compassion you have graciously given me over the years. As Twyla moved on to pursue her dreams, i had been introduced to Lindsay. This isn’t a business transaction, this is a support system - they become your friends. With such little effort, you give me back my confidence in the most conservative way. I’ve also had great experiences in the recent years with Dr. Mitchell and Dr Patel. While our paths have crossed for very different reasons from above- The sentiment remains 100% the same. This is the most caring group of doctors, nurses, injectors and front of house staff I’ve ever come across. Thank you for everything you do, and for making it so painless and effortless.

    The Staff at The First Glance Clinic are outstanding. You feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. I had a Silk Peel Microabrasion treatment with Jill and she is so knowledgeable & professional. We discussed my skin's health, future treatments for my consideration, as well as the best skin care cream suited for my skin. My next appointment is already scheduled.

  • 5/5 Ha A. 2 years ago on Google
    Dr. Islur exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for someone who will give you realistic expectations you want to go to him. I had a mommy makeover and 6 weeks post op. I have the tiniest tummy tuck line and my breast lift is amazing. Just follow all instructions or recommendations and you will be good. Friendly and professional staff. They were very helpful and patient with all my questions.

    My experience with the individuals working at First Glance was amazing. I was made to feel comfortable well before my procedure date. During my procedure, I felt like I was in the right place with the most capable individuals taking care of me.You can tell that everyone who works for First Glance takes pride in what they do. It must be a wonderful company to work for. First glance exudes professionalism and integrity. They care about their clients, and I look forward to seeing them again in the near future.

    The staff is friendly, the facility is clean. The best lip filler I have received was from Trish, she also remembers small details from your last visit making it very personable and comfortable. She explains everything very well regarding injectables and I would 100% recommend visiting Trish @ The First Glance Aesthetic Clinic.

    I would highly recommend First Glance Clinic! All the staff are amazing and friendly! They answer calls and questions very fast and really make you feel comfortable the day of your surgery! Dr.Mitchell was also super friendly and he even follows up with you the day after your procedure. I’m still healing from my breast lift but so far I feel better then expected too and I couldn’t of asked for a better experience!

    Amazing experience from start to finish. I’m so happy I chose First glance to perform my mommy makeover. The mom tummy has always been my biggest insecurity after having 3 boys. I wouldn’t be caught dead showing off my stomach anywhere and hid it at all times. No matter how much weight I lost it was still there pooching out. Dr Islur and his staff made sure I was comfortable the day of surgery and the nurses and amazing anesthesiologist were so kind and caring. I am looking so forward to seeing the final results but I already love it! I cried the first time I took my bandages off and saw a flat tummy. Thank you just isn’t enough. Dr Islur has given me back confidence and really listened to what I wanted. I highly recommend First Glance for a top notch experience. A+

I just had my surgery 5 days ago so I look forward to seeing the new me!
