Absolute Dermatology & Medi-Spa

I have honestly NEVER written a bad review but today I was cheated and scammed. I was so excited for my LED facial Rejuvenation treatment I bought on Groupon but upon my arrival they told me the treatment was only for acne.
LED treatment does a lot more than that. «Research has shown that LED Light Therapy may help to smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase the lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and superficial hyperpigmentation» –This is from their website. Yet, I got talked into seeing the dermatologist. Never was I told about a consultation fee. Basically I ended up paying $ 140 (oh I’m sorry, correction $ 110 because they gave me a $ 30 groupon credit) just to drive up there and get nothing done! No facial, nothing. She barely looked at my face! Not to mention the staff always grim and unwelcoming.

* SCAM ALERT *
My wife bought a facial and consultation through groupon. When she entered they had her fill out the normal paperwork. Unfortunately the paper work had a clause in it that there would be a fee on top of the facial and consultation.
They took us for an extra $ 130
When we contested it was said that this would then go on our credit.
They literally did NOTHING but the facial.
The consultation was summed up to, «we can’t really help you if you already have good skin» — what the hell does that mean
TERRIBLE BUSINESS
TERRIBLE PRACTICE
STAY AWAY

I found Dr. Honeycutt to be professional and personable — and quite funny. She is a straight talker who doesn’t mince words. I initially went to see her for a lesion on my arm. She conducted a thorough check up and subsequently concluded the lesion should be removed — and did so during that visit. I followed up a few months later with some cosmetic work and couldn’t be more pleased not only with Dr. Honeycutt but her staff.

I am not one for leaving reviews but I feel I have to with this business. My wife went in for a facial and has never been to this place. She normally is not as excited as she was this last time. She has gone to plenty of places but found her new forever spa. I think the person who helped her is named Nicole. She came back with a smile on her face and was very excited for the service she got. I love my wife and have always found her beautiful but this last time she had a certain glow. I am very impressed with how they treated and she has told all her girlfriends to see Nicole.

I bought the i Lipo package this summer through the Medi-​Spa and am so happy with the results! Nicole Johnson, the esthetician is very helpful and honest about what is needed to get results. I definitely recommend the 8 treatment i lipo special. After 5 treatments I was able to see so much results, so I am thankful I did not purchase the package of 4. I got the i lipo on my lower stomach because no matter how much I worked out or dieted I could not get my stomach flat enough. The i lipo targeted the exact area i wanted without any type of surgery and was way cheaper than surgery. You must follow the routine of working out after each treatment and drinking LOTS of water the day of.
I was so excited to see the transformation on my stomach exactly where I needed the help! Why wait or feel self conscious about your stomach when there is stuff like i Lipo out there, I wish I would not have waited this long.
Thanks again for taking such good care of me!

Just had a wonderful Micro Peel (dermaplaning+glycolic peel) and laser hair removal appointment with their wonderful new esthetician, Nicole. Nicole is super knowledgeable, warm, and professional, and the office staff were all very friendly. My face is glowing and super smooth. So glad I visited :)

Lots of negativity on Unilocal but I like this office and staff. I’ve been a patient of Dr Honeycutt’s for several years now and I’ve got no complaints. She tells it like it is and I like that!

My entire family sees Dr. Honeycutt. We have been patients here since 2007. The staff is wonderful (virtually no turn over at all, which says a lot.) Dr. Honeycutt is down-​to-​earth and very cool. She gets right to the problem and finds a solution. A little bit of fun small talk and we are on our way.

We found Dr. Honeycutt through our insurance and were very pleased. I had to take my child out of school to see her so I appreciated not having to wait. She was friendly, funny & put my child at ease. She did the procedure right there and we did not waste a moment.

I know some of the reviews on here are a few years old, but I have been seeing
Dr. Honeycutt for a year and have not had any of these problems. The office staff is great, I have had no issues with billings, and have had 2 different insurances while seeing her. Dr. Honeycutt has never told me I have needed chemical peels or anything to do with the Spa. In fact she has told me to stay away from chemical peels. I am 36, with decent skin but with mild acne and roscea. I am not a rich person or a fancy women, I am a SAHM, like some people stated you have to be to get treated well. In fact Dr. Honeycutt is not that type of women either. She is very down to earth and has worked hard to help me with my acne. She will agree with anything you want to do or don’t want to do. I would recommend Dr. Honeycutt.

I do not appreciate the unconstructive reviews regarding Dr. Honeycutt. My whole family sees Dr. Honeycutt for all dermatology related issues. She is very professional and knowledgeable when it comes to skin care and treatments.
For the person that stated that Dr. Honeycutt has no bedside manners, I dispute this person’s statement, Dr. Honeycutt is candid and direct, she does not sugar coat her conversation, in order for you to be accepting of her. If you are use to attending a Physician whose intentions and conversations regarding your diagnoses always seem to be positive or pleasant, although in fact it will result in something unpleasant or unacceptable, then Dr. Honeycutt is not for you. Having said that, Dr. Honeycutt, will discuss your skin issues with you in detail and in addition, she will take her time examining your options and treatment. Dr. Honeycutt is passionate about what she does and treats her patients with the outmost respect and compassion. She is not about selling any type of products in order to make a profit. Dr. Honeycutt is all about taking care and maintains your skin healthy.
I had terrible dark spots on my face and I have tried several products. Last month I decided to try Foto Facial, after just one treatment, my dark spots have almost disappeared. I am a big fan of Dr. Honeycutt as well as her staff. They are all wonderful people and I would not consider going elsewhere.

I’ve been going to the Medi-​Spa for almost 4 years for laser hair removal and microderm/​micropeels. I cannot stress how much I love Wendy (the esthetician), and the products recommended. Wendy really puts me at ease when I come in for my procedures and is *extremely* personable.
To be blunt, Wendy knows her shit, and their annual spa party specials are always an incredible deal as well as their e-​mail only specials.
I’ve never seen Dr. Honeycutt as a patient, but she does occasionally pop her head in when I’m having treatments. I love her demeanor and am looking forward to seeing her as a patient. The wait time is usually no more than 10 minutes for either the spa or the doctor, and the receptionists are very engaging while you wait.
All in all, I am extremely impressed with the care and service I receive and recommend Absolute Dermatology and Medi-​Spa to everyone I know.

I was referred to Dr. Honeycutt by a friend. Dr. Honeycutt was very thorough in addressing my questions and concerns. I went in for a general skin check, as I have several moles that no one had looked at in years. Wait time in the waiting room an exam room combined was about 10 minutes. She put my worries at ease and gave me detailed descriptions and showed me examples of what I would need to look for in the future. She did a biopsy on one spot, and it was quick and painless. The office called me with the results in a timely manner. I had to return to the office to have the stitch removed, and waited less than 5 minutes. The nurse came in to remove the stitch and Dr. Honeycutt came in to see if I had any other questions or concerns.
I was not bombarded with sales pitches for the medi-​spa products. Dr. Honeycutt did suggest that I sign up for their email list to receive information on sales and specials. I now receive and email once or twice a month, with what look like some pretty great deals.
I am pretty picky when it comes to doctors, and I feel that Dr. Honeycutt paid ample attention to me and my concerns. She treated me as a person and not a patient, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her. I will continue to see her and would recommend her to anyone.
Also, her exam rooms all have free samples for you to choose from. Who doesn’t like free stuff?

I have been a patient of Dr. Honeycutt for over 9 yrs and have never had anything but positive results. She has a great sense of humor as well as a great sense of what I need as a patient. Being a red head, I am in regularly for check-​ups which have so far turned out to be just fine. I don’t mind going in frequently as I would rather pay to hear I did not need to come in, than to ignore a problem that could be cancer.
I have been a loyal patient and will continue to be a loyal patient!

I needed to see a dermatologist for a spot I was concerned about… I made the mistake of looking for a place near me rather than getting a referral. I saw Dr. Honeycutt after waiting for nearly 45 minutes. She looks at my face for one second and then she casually utters, «Well it could be scar tissue or it could be cancer, do you really want a hole there where I’d biopsy it or should you just leave it alone? I’d leave it alone. However, what you really need is some botox for those expressive wrinkles and maybe a chemical peel.» … Then she proceeds to advise that I find a plastic surgeon who can suck the fat out from under my eyes where there are «bags.» I pointed to my 4 month old son and add, «I just had a baby of course there are bags.» That’s all I could think to say, I was still fumbling over the words «cancer,» «botox» and «chemical peel» in my head. Now those of you that know me well are probably wondering why I couldn’t give this lady a tongue lashing. I had no words for her — I was in shock that a medical professional was feeding me this BS. Seriously, folks. You can’t make this crap up. Even after she told me how great botox is, and that its sooo addicting, one look at her «results» and I happily passed. Thanks lady. But no thanks. Those «wrinkles» are from years of laughter and even some tears, and I wouldn’t change them for anything.
Edit: I think it is important to note that I had indicated on my medical history form that I was struggling with post partum anxiety. For a doctor to disregard that and attempt to take advantage of a new mother’s emotional state was simply deplorable. Since then, I have recieved messages asking me to delete this review and I will not. If you want better ratings you should treat patients with compassion, like human beings and not dollar signs.

Dr. Honeycutt really should not have a medical practice given her attitude towards patients. She has one of the worst bedside manners I have ever encountered. She comes across as very arrogant, not willing to listen and borderline insulting. I would never go back. I’m not saying you should not see her. You can experience her wrath for yourselves. I just hope that if she reads this review, she changes her ways. Her #1 priority is trying to sell her overpriced cosmetic dermatological junk.

Dr Honeycutt never spends more than 3 minutes actually looking at my skin, always asks me what we’ve done in the past rather than actually looking at my chart, and is more interested in pushing the med spa treatments (which i’ve found to be only slightly helpful) which are overpriced. She only writes scripts for 3 months at a time, requiring a followup visit where all she does is push the med spa. Told me i have the worst case of rosacea she’s ever seen, and recommended IPL. After being pushed several times to get the procedure, i finally had it done. $ 1500 later, not much difference in my skin. After the IPL, when i still had horrible redness from the veins in my face, she recommended another procedure (capillary destruction). When i booked that procedure and came in, she wanted to know why i was having that procedure rather than the IPL! Um, hello!
Can anyone recommend a dermatologist that actually pays attention?

Absolute Dermatology– more like Absolute waste of your time. The only reason to make an appointment here — the Esthetician, Ms. Parks. AD offers a fair menu of spa services, at fair prices. Diamond Tome Microbrasion for $ 50 — Packages: 3/​$ 65 each 5/​$ 50 each, peels at $ 65– if the website is still up to date. The treatment you receive from other staff, Dr. Honeycutt, included is not going to leave you with any kind of warm and fuzzy. I’ve had a massage here as well– eh. I wasn’t overwhelmed with that ‘massage glow’. You know– that happy spot where you get in your car get cut off but you don’t give a damn b/​c you’re so relaxed? Yeah, you probably aren’t going to find that happy spot here. In fact, the overall office feeling is kind of pretentious and full of tension. You need to be «that woman» to fit into their business model to be welcome here– and, I was «that woman». oh snap! Spend your $$ elsewhere unless you can get Ms. Parks. Wowsas! You will find a happy spot with her! She can give you a sensational peel, facial, eyebrow wax like no other in a 100 mile radius.
