I have dealt with an annoying nasal obstruction issue for many years. I decided to try the Vivaer nasal remodeling procedure and am very pleased with the results. The procedure was very tolerable as was the recovery and healing process! Taylor and his nurse were very professional. The process was explained well and they made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. I am only 3.5 weeks post procedure and i would say my nasal passages are 30-35% improved.

At my follow up appointment I was told there may still be some swelling and I could possibly have some additional improvement. Even if there is no change from now, I am very satisfied with the result. I would strongly encourage anyone dealing with nasal obstruction to give it a try!

I had concerns of a few moles and to go over my Rosacea. My Rosacea was treated with a topical vs finding the underlying issue and starting with an in-depth lifestyle change. There wasn't much information given, even though this is an ongoing concern of mine. Regarding my moles - I felt pressured into making a quick decision after giving me options. Had I been given adequate time to think, I would've chosen a different route.

I was in and out in less than 30 minutes, having 2 moles removed and 3 skin tags. It was evident that this team is coached on removing, regardless of if it needs to be or if it's in the patient's best interest.

I had a dermaplane treatment from DeAnn this morning. It was a wonderful way to start the day! She was professional, kind, and did a fantastic job. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and their COVID-19 protocol made me feel very comfortable. I'm looking forward to another visit with DeAnn at Catalyst.

My husband and I just did our antigen test for vacation (last minute) due to the weekend and holiday we ran into problems finding anywhere to do this for us. We had the best experience with Taylor F and are grateful for her patience and kindness. Than you Taylor for a great experience! You made our vacation possible and without you we wouldn't have been able to fly. The front desk staff was also very helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend Catalyst!

I had the Deluxe Dermaplane from the fabulous Deanna. A facial with a Hydro-Jelly mask. It was incredibly relaxing! It felt really nice and cool on my face. I didn't know what it was at first! My skin feels wonderful after. She got all the dead skin and peach fuzz off. I have had three dermaplane's and one facial over the past few years. This was the perfect combination of both! I need to do this more often.

I really appreciate Deanna's extra help, compassion and kindness. I felt she was looking out for what she felt I'd most benefit from, which I appreciate. When I was in the room I felt a great sense of calm. I can't say enough about Dr Mathison's great staff.
