I move a lot, so I’ve gone to a bunch of doctors for botox and fillers over the course of the past 7 years. But I’m so glad I’m back in the bay to come back to Dr. Echavez.

Dr. Echavez brings a level of taste and competence to the whole world of “New Beauty” style self improvement that I haven’t seen in any of the other doctors I’ve had in NYC, LA, or Boston. For example, at a recent trip to his office I asked him about a few of the latest treatments that I read about–and I was prepared to get them if he deemed it worthwhile. He was honest with me, and told me it didn’t make sense to get those procedures yet…even though it might have meant money to him in the short term. Also, I like that he does mini consultations with me every time I see him just to make sure I agree with his plan for injection placements–even though they are always very natural looking, with or without my input. I’ve been to many a (well meaning, but too rushed) doctor that just jumped immediately into poking me with syringes willy nilly.

Not only is his skill top notch. He’s also very affordable. I often go into see him with a plan on how much I want to spend. I’ll say something like, “400 bucks, but I want forehead and crow’s feet.” And every time, he makes it work with my budget. Magic man:)

Dr. Echavez strikes me as having too much class to ever actually self merchandise, hence the surprisingly low number of reviews on Yelp! thus far. But this is a clear case of being under appreciated, or of his current patients being strategic enough to keep their secret to themselves.

But I figure I’ll be a nice girl and share…Pssst, five stars!
