I have been to the Sullivan Centre in Columbus, Ohio a few times over the past 3 years. Most recently was October 2011. I had a Juvaderm injection to my upper and lower lip, performed by Dr. Michael Sullivan at the Sullivan Centre. I showed a picture to Dr. Michael Sullivan. plastic surgeon and also referenced someone in his office. Dr. Sullivan assured me that he could achieve the results I expected, however he did not achieve satisfactory results and will not stand behind his work.

I waited patiently for the swelling to go away, within 7 days the entire injection of Juvaderm was no longer visible in my lips. I went back to Dr. Michael Sullivan and he agreed that the injection had practically vanished.

In addition to the Juvaderm only lasting during the swollen period of 7 days, I also had creases/lines above my top lip which I did not  have prior. Dr. Michael Sullivan tried to tell me that it was a wrinkle, a "wrinkle" that I did not have prior to this office visit or this injection! I shared with him my before and after pictures (which they do not take) and this "wrinkle" was not there. He suggest I wait a few more days so I did. However I visited Sullivan Centre 2 more times within a 3 week period for the same problem, the crease above my lip got worse. Dr. Michael Sullivan finally admitted that his injection caused this crease above my lip and admitted that the Juvaderm was not properly done to achieve the results we spoke about prior to the injection.

Dr. Michael Sullivan admitted that he made an error with the Juvaderm injection that caused the creases above my lip but will not refund my money! One Juvaderm injection at the Sullivan Centre in Columbus, Ohio cost $595.00. Instead, he said to wait for a couple of months and he would do another injection. 

Considering I am now embarrassed about the lines above my lip and feel insecure when someone looks at me, I will not go back to the Sullivan Centre to Dr. Michael Sullivan for any more injections. I have formally requested a refund and was told that he does not guarantee his services or any injections. I would assume that since the Sullivan Centre Dr. Michael Sullivan admitted to his mistake of an improper injection that he would stand behind his quality of service but he will not!

I have filed a complaint with Juvaderm about Dr. Michael Sullivan and the Sullivan Centre, I will also contact the FDA and the Ohio State Medical Board.

I would not recommend the Sullivan Centre in Columbus Ohio or Dr. Michael Sullivan for any cosmetic procedure.
 
I also visited the Sullivan Centre for a Botox injection in October 2011. This injection also did not last for more than 45 days. Either the Sullivan Centre is not using quality products or Dr. Michael Sullivan does not know what he is doing. I am not certain of the quality of the fillers at the Sullivan Centre in Columbus, Ohio. I have had injections by other doctors not at this facility and never had any problems.
 
Very displeased with the quality of the product and service at the Sullivan Centre/Dr. Michael Sullivan.
 
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT THE SULLIVAN CENTRE/Dr. Michael Sullivan. I got ripped off by the Sullivan Centre/Dr. Michael Sullivan.
 
If you are looking for great lasting results do not go to the Sullivan Centre or Michael Sullivan. Everyone I know is very pleased with the Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Center.
 
If anyone wants more details please post your comments and email and I will gladly respond to you with my bad experience at the Sullivan Centre with Dr. Michael Sullivan.

Sullivan Centre does not stand by the results or any commitment to excellence

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, January 06, 2012

In regard to comments above from Dr. Michael Sulivan's office:
 "We stand by our results and our commitment to excellence". I asked that you stand behind your promise to achieve results and to stand behind the products you use in the office. Instead, once I complained it seemed as if I was bothering people in the office and Dr. Sullivan did not care that I was unhappy. 

If a patient does not achieve the results promised then Dr. Michael Sullivan should refund the money, giving the circumstance that Dr. Michael Sullivan admitted to his mistake and did not do the injection properly to achieve the results we discussed as an end result from the injections. 

Dr. Michael Sullivan tried to tell me that my skin was like this before and it was a "wrinkle", after I insist on a 2nd visit then finally he admits that it was his fault and suggest I wait for a few months to see if it gets better. What an insult! He tried to get out of owning up to his mistake.

Considering I use to work at local publications, I know to be a fact that in most cases when a person or doctor is named on a list it is usually an entry submitted by the person and usually the one and only entry which unfortunately makes it look like this person is #1. Also, it's usually not based on client satisfaction or experience, it's usually based on who ever wants to pay the entry fee to have exposure on the list!

Dr. Michael Sullivan should be ashamed to make such a mistake, making me feel insecure with my appearance and then lying to me saying it was a wrinkle. Fortunately I took before and after pictures, it's demeaning to lie to someone when he was in the wrong!  It's obvious he messed up with the injections and does not care to keep his word with his patient. 

I recorded my last office visit and have on tape Dr. Michael Sullivan admitting to his mistake! 
I'm also curious if this "organized" office ever found my patient file so that Dr. Sullivan knows what he actually injected during my visits, this could be dangerous if someone had an allergic reaction. 

It's ok, I can cost this office more business financially than what I actually lost! I have told everyone I know about this poor experience, terrible results and how I was treated after Dr. Michael Sullivan messed up my lips! All he had to do was apologize sincerely and refund my money! Instead he tried to lie to me about the crease above my lip that he caused with his poor service/lack of expertise in cosmetic filler. 

I see at least 10 people each day, 10 people that could have been potential or current clients that will never use the Sullivan Centre. I have informed them of the facts and my terrible experience with the Sullivan Centre. 

Instead of using a magazine ranking which is bogus, try standing behind your "commitment to excellence". When something goes wrong and a client is not happy, don't disrespect them when they are in need, try helping them and correct what was messed up or refund their money!

I hate the results and did not get the what was promised from the Sullivan Centre in Columbus, Ohio!
This was only a $549 expense, a simple lip enhancement, I would be afraid to use the Sullivan Centre for anything surgical or long term.

The Sullivan Centre's goal is to help every patient have a positive experience. We work closely with our patients, doing everything we can to achieve a satisfying result.  Unfortunately, sometimes the solutions offered to patients are not what they want to hear.

We stand by our results and our commitment to excellence. Dr. Michael Sullivan was named 2011 Best Plastic Surgeon by This Week , Top Doc by WBNS-TV and has been voted by his peers as one of the Best Doctors in America for the past fourteen years. These awards are testament to his excellent track record and ongoing commitment to patient care.   

As a medical practice, our duty to protect patient confidentiality prevents us from commenting on the specifics of any case. Our policy has always been to be open and honest with patients starting at the initial consultation. We pride ourselves in educating patients regarding their procedure and explain the importance of proper expectations. We explain very clearly, both verbally and in written form, the risks associated with cosmetic procedures. In addition, every patient is required to sign an informed consent prior to any procedure or injection.  

In sum, we do our best to give every patient the best possible experience and outcome.
