Just wanted to make a quick review. I had my first tattoo removal session at Carolina Laser and i will just say it was very expensive and unprofessional compared to others in Winston Salem offering the same service. I was charged double at Carolina Laser what others charge, the session was not done by Dr. White and as far as i know it was just an employee that did the session. Dr. White was gracious enough to give me all of 3 minutes in my consultation and then she was gone very quickly. For a $110.00 consultation fee that was not fair considering all my questions was not even answered. After the first visit i realized that Carolina Laser was out for one thing and it was not the patients best interest but more less to collect money. After i determined where i was going to have my 2nd treatment i called Carolina Laser just to see what they was charging for the Picosure Laser Tattoo Removal. At first they told me that i would need another consultation and i explained to them that i have already paid for this one time before and can they please look back at the records to see about my tattoo size etc.... so they can get me a quote. They told me that it was over 60 days and i would have to come back in and pay another $110.00 which i felt was ridiculous and assumed they did not keep good records considering they should have been able to pull my file and see the size, location etc. After i complained to them about the 2nd consultation fee they quoted me $700.00 for a session of the Picosure for a very small tattoo. First off if they provided top level service i might consider paying it but since i was not impressed with the company from the very beginning. I decided to look at other local companies in Winston Salem that offered Laser Tattoo Removal and found that another company offered the Picosure and was less than half the cost and was very professional compared to Carolina Laser. All i ask of local companies is to be fair and i dont feel Carolina Laser was being fair. I felt i was being taken advantage of and i will never return or refer anyone to this place. If you are in the market look at other local companies and check pricing. When other companies are charging $60.00 for Consultations and Carolina Laser is double the cost that is a problem. If you feel you are fair by charging this for a 3 minute talk than you have problems. I dont like to leave negative reviews but in this case i felt it was necessary because i was not treated fairly.

I have been going to see Dr. White for over 14 years off and on. She is so meticulous and has a talent for botox and restylin (cant spell it). When she first comes in it is after her nurse has gotten all of the information and my wants and needs. Very thorough and kind. She and her staff are so empathetic and when she comes back into the room with me, her delay of coming back in was because she studies the before photos to get knowledgable about where the injections need to go. Since people have multiple sites on their faces for example, each area of the face is charged separately so that they give you an itemized list of how much it will cost and that lets me know up front what each thing (crows feet, forehead, lips...etc.) costs and I can pick which ones or all of the procedures. She really takes the time to stand back and study the muscles that may have drooped and she will let you decide, and she gives advice if you want it, which procedure I want. These procedures are intricate and complicated with nerves and muscle etc and to be talented, insightful, honest, caring and you will never find anyone as good and professional and talented anywhere. I drive 4 hours to see her. If I have to have the best, I go to her. I have had it from one up here in Boone and it was a disaster, bad bedside manner, could care less which muscles were the ones to inject or stay away from, and just started shooting me up, it was expensive, he was rude, got in and out as fast as he could and when I had a problem he refused to talk to me or correct it or refund my money wasted. And it did not last long. Dr. White, I am assuming by my experience, has to files for me. One for cosmetic and laser procedures not covered by insurance, and then she is also an MD and will also see you in the medical side and the insurance pays for the medical needs. She is wonderful!

I am giving one star because of PRICE ONLY!!!! I went in for laser tattoo removal, using the Picosure laser. The actual treatment, took all of 30 minutes, and she even missed a corner of my tattoo, which I have documented in picture form. I was there for 2 hours. The price scale was based on an estimate of what a Q-switched laser treatment would cost, how many estimated treatments it would take with a Q-switched laser, and then that doubled, because Picosure lasers are twice as effective. I have been getting laser tattoo removal with a Q-switched laser for a year now, and her estimation of the price of one treatment with a Q-switched laser was 3 TIMES THE PRICE OF THE ACTUAL PRICE I HAD BEEN PAYING. She then DOUBLED THAT PRICE, for a WHOPPING price tag of $1727.00 for one laser treatment, of 25 sq. inches of tattoo. I have been getting my PicoSure Tattoo removal at Graystone Aesthetics Center in Hickory, NC. I get the same treatment for 400 dollars there that I would pay 1727.00 for at Carolina Laser and Cosmetic Center. On the plus side, the staff were all VERY polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and informative of the huge price tag. If I were a millionaire, I would frequent there often for every service they offer. Unfortunately, I am not a millionaire. :-/

I visited this place and I was hoping they will answer all my questions, I had to wait 35 minutes for Dr. Anne to see me, even though I was on time for my appointment. The girl that took care of me and request my ID card was extremely rude, she was looking at me like Im some kind of weirdo. After I was able to see Dr. Anne, she gave me a list with a bunch of products that according to her "are going to make my skin look beautiful", the price for such products was over the roof. She spent 5 minutes in my room, she told me that the best laser for me is the Picosure, 4 sessions, 1 each month then once every 3 months and then she left.. the same rude girl from her staff walks in telling me the "affordable prices", each session is $600 and that I need to pay before the session. I looked at her like: ARE YOU INSANE? I didnt get a chance to ask Dr. Anne my concerns about my skin, everything was so fast. Also, this business is registered like CAROLINA LASER & COSMETIC CENTER but when I saw my bank statements, the "Consultation Fee" for $110 is under the name of: CAROLINA FAMILY MEDICINE... They are probably doing some fraud to the insurances companies ! Bad place, EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE and horrible service.
