Heron Med Spa

Do not answer their phones and no answering machine! Reviews are mixed. Think I will pass

I went here for botox using a LIvingSocial deal and I can’t complain. It was my first time and he answered all my questions and wasn’t pushy about having other things done. I ended up getting Dysport. This was about a month ago. I like how smooth my forehead is but I am not sure I like how expressionless I am.

Dr. Heron is very nice, explains the diet and process well and seems to care about his patients. Mindy as well is fantastic at the front desk. Stay far FAR FAR away as you can from Dr. Heron’s wife Barbara; she is very rude to customers, terrible level of service, speaks to customers in a belittling manner, cold reception and just lousy overall to deal with.

Dr. Heron is such a professional and easy to speak to. His staff is also pleasant and cordial.
This Med Spa is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to seek the best in skincare and/​or weight loss remedies.

Dr. Heron is a top notch doctor and truly cares about his patients. Their office is very welcoming and neat. I would highly recommend Heron Med Spa to anyone looking to improve cosmetically or losing weight. Thanks!

I didn’t want to write this review for a long time because I didn’t want anyone knowing that I came here, but the secret is out. I need botox!
I wish I would have gone in to see Dr. Khal a few months back when he was having the 3 area promo going because now I need to go see him! Has anyone ever notice their treatment not lasting as long at other places? Well, you’re not delusional. I have been to other places back home, and I can say that Dr. Khal’s stuff last a lot longer than the treatments I’ve gotten back in California. I also tried another place out in Bethesda when I was living in MD, and same thing. I don’t think anyone in the area has solutions that last as long as Dr. Khal’s stuff.
I think Dr. Khal has the magic touch because he uses the real stuff. He actually puts the solution out in front of you and extracts it, so you know you’re not getting something watered down. He also uses some specialized needle (a very fine tip), so when it pokes into your skin, you don’t feel anything. It’s also nice because it doesn’t scar your face especially if you have big pores like me, haha.
Dr. Khal also has a program similar to Bright Distinctions, so make sure you ask to join his program when you get services done by him. It gives you perks for your next visit.
Location wise: He’s very easy to find, and very flexible with scheduling.
Overall: I like the staff, location, and services offered. Never felt like the staff or Dr. Khal was selling me on anything ever. I even asked Dr. Khal if I needed a certain area done one time, and he said no (he could have easily try to upsell me, but nope). I was even thinking… are you sure? hahah. Doctors know what they’re talking about!

Dr Khal is by far the best Dr in NOVA for injectables! I began seeing him before for botox before my wedding a few years ago and have never been disappointed! He is very knowledgeable and his bedside manner is perfection. He never pushes me to do more than I need and is alway polite & honest with answers. There was a time I wanted really full lips and he stopped me from making a big mistake that would have left me with DUCK lips! He filled my lips with what he thought would be reasonable and made me realize that my lips were beautiful and didn’t need all that extra filler. Other Drs are only out to make money and can be so medically irresponsible but not Dr Khal.
Go see him, Drs like him are hard to find!

I have visited Dr, Khal three times already, and cannot say one negative thing about this practice. They are very professional and I can always get an appointment when I need it. I do like to schedule a week in advance, so that probably helps.
Looking forward to my return !

Terrible, terrible, terrible… buyer beware! I came here with a Living Social coupon for Dysport last year and was convinced to purchase additional injections under my eyes to get rid of dark circles. It was awful, I left the doctors office with bruises and even felt nauseous during the procedure. I woke up with incredible pain under my eyes and had such intense swelling and bruising that I had to call out of work for days. I called back into the office and they said that they were not liable… nothing else. 6 months later… still messed up. Hard lesson learned… be very careful who you trust to do such procedures. As I can see from other reviews, I am not the only one with such an experience…

Dr. Khal made me feel comfortable with injections. He has great expertise on fillers and knows how to get the look you are trying to achieve. I will be visiting him every 6 – 8 months.

Nine months ago I had smart lipo, but it was the dumbest thing I’ve ever done! I’m petite and not overweight. I just wanted to tone up a few problem areas that exercise wasn’t helping. I now have excessively noticeable lumps, bumps, and dents and unfortunately for me, it’s PERMANENT. I will be DISFIGURED for the rest of my life. The backs of my arms are hideous and I’m relegated to wearing long sleeves to hide the disfigurement. Also, my inner thighs have golf ball size bulges. I went to a well respected plastic surgeon and he’s unable to fix my arms. He’s tried fat injections, but it failed to minimize the noticeable dents. As soon as I can save enough, I’m going back to the plastic surgeon to see what he can do about the golf ball size bulges on my thighs.
Last month I met with Dr. Heron and his wife to express my displeasure with the results of the smart lipo. All I got from Dr. Heron was «I’m sorry. It wasn’t done on purpose.» His wife offered me free laser treatment to minimize the large and very noticeable puncture marks from the smart lipo. Seriously, you’ve already caused PERMANENT DISFIGURATION you think I’d even consider having you touch me again?
I highly recommend going to reputable plastic surgeons instead of these places that advertise on Groupon.

I had been contemplating Botox for quite some time when I came across a Living Social deal for Heron’s Wellness Centers. What drew me to this business (considering all the various coupons for such services that are out there) was not only the fact that the location was super close to home but also the great reviews this business has received.
I had no trouble making an appointment for exactly when I wanted it. Dr. Khal Shehadeh saw me right on time. As this was my first Botox treatment, he walked me through all the particulars in a very calm, professional manner, answering all my questions and even anticipating some I might have. He went over all his services from Botox treatments to fillers.
I appreciated how he didn’t try to push more treatments on me. He actually said that it’s not like you truly need to have anything done, so take your time and come back when and if you’re ready. The Living Social deal only covered one area of my face (and was actually $ 10 more than a special they were currently running!), but he was offering further specials, so I happily got another area treated. I ended up getting injections around my eyes and the forehead crease in between my eyes. Based on the information he gave, I chose to get Dysport over Botox.
The procedure itself was quick. And Dr. Khal provided great post-​treatment instructions. He informed me that really I shouldn’t get injections more than three times a year, so every four months or so. I really appreciated how honest he was, mentioning that much like any medicine or treatment, your body adapts to it, making it less effective the more you have it. So, again, really liked how he wasn’t trying to push stuff on me.
I have to say the results are amazing! And, I will definitely be coming back to see Dr. Khal when it’s time. The center regularly offers specials on treatments, which makes me even more enthusiastic to come back because clearly they care about rewarding their customers.

I have been getting Botox for 14 years and have been to several different doctors. I am happy with Dr Khal and think he is a good injector. No bruises –he is careful –and it lasts as long as it should. Prices are fair – right on with the competition. I will continue coming here.

I had a very good experience at Heron’s Wellness center. I had received a few botox treatments from another doctor in the past [not bad experiences, but the first one was weird – she had me come to her house. I actually called a friend and said that if I didn’t call back in an hour, I was dead]. ANYWAY – Heron’s has a professional, clean environment and offers many services. I bought a voucher from Amazon Local originally, which was $ 150 for 20 units of botox. When I got there, Dr. Khal asked me what I wanted and ended up recommending Dysport. We talked a lot about what I wanted, he had me wrinkle my forehead and be very specific about the areas that bothered me the most, and the injections were quick and [almost] painless.
The injections lasted for about 6 months, just like they’re supposed to the first few times you do them. When I came back over 6 months later, they offered me the same price I had paid for the original voucher (awesome), and I had another great experience.
The best part, in my opinion: each time I was there, I wasn’t pressured to try anything new or to do more than I wanted. Years ago when I did my first botox treatment, there was a big fuss about how I actually needed 80 units if I wanted my face to look good, and the doctor pointed out all of these things she didn’t like about my face. Not at Heron’s. I asked about peel treatments, fillers, and other products that they offer, and Dr. Khal didn’t once recommend that I actually do any of them. He explained what each did, and said that it is always up to the individual to decide. He emphasized that on my first visit, too: «These treatments aren’t about what you NEED, they’re about what you WANT.» I really appreciated that. It’s always nice to not be upsold when you go in for beauty treatments. FIVE STARS.

I have been injected by Dr. Khal twice. The first time he tole me if I come back, do not buy the groupon. He stated he would honor the groupon price. That didn’t happen. He charge me new prices despite the fact that when I scheduled I was told the groupon price woul be honored as well.
OK…so I was ok with the price incease if he was going to do a good job. I told him I wanted a slight brow lift and I wanted to maintain some movement and look very natural. We even discussed he fact that I didn’t want the wrinkles gone, I just wanted them softened. I also told him this is for my WEDDING. You think that would make somebody extra careful? Not so much.
A week later my eyes and brows were very asymmetrical. I called the office, upbeat and trusting that he could fix it. His recommendation was to over-​paralyze the left side too so they would match… um, no.
He injected a few spots in my right brow and said it would elevate and I would be fine again. A few weeks later, now just before my bridal shower, bachelorette party, and wedding, here I am with a right eye droop. I’m constantly trying to hold my eye open (which I can;t) and I have NO movement whatsoever in my forehead or brow, I’ve had a headache ever since, and my right eyelid is resting on my lashes.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try this place out. If you have any events or reasons to look good… I wouldn’t risk it. Go to someone who will listen to what you want. I will literally be scared from this experience forever and I’ll have to look at it in my wedding pictures forever.

My 2^nd visit with Dr Kahl and I cannot express just how content I am with his professional demeanor and experience. I think I’ve finally found a place I can candidly bring my concerns to and feel confident I will get a straightforward resolution. Thank you!

I promise Dr. Khal is the most consummate professional I have ever met. He uses the most quality products, explains each procedure thoroughly and does not rush. I am forever a patient of his. Thank you sir!

Dr. Kal is kind, patient, and very artistic in his practice. He doesn’t rush you — he really cares about you and your individual needs. The center itself is pretty and relaxing. I would recommend Herons Wellness due to my positive experience there.

Dr. Khal is very professional and takes his time while consulting and working on any of the procedures. He is meticulous in the job he does. Would highly recommend.

I can’t say enough about the quality products and services Dr. Kal Shehadeh offers. I fully trust his judgement when it comes to what is necessary to help me look my best. In fact, he discouraged two procedures that my dermatologist recommended, because he thought the recommendations were overkill, and I would be unhappy with the end result. Who has those kinds of ethics today, right? I fully trust his judgement, and it has served me well. I am 200 percent satisfied after each visit, and that is something I rarely say. I am confident you will feel the same way.

Dr. Khal A. Shehadeh is wonderful. He goes above and beyond to provide information and advise as to just what I need. I have been using botox for a couple of years and by far he has produced they very best results.

I’ve treated at this center for the past 2 years. Dr. Heron and his staff have been nothing but kind, efficient and professional. After checking out several centers/​options, I chose to go with this group. They were extremely patient and informative when I inquired about their programs and Smartlipo. I even brought several friends with me and we each had the Smartlipo procedure done. The price was right and the results were tremendous. I had to do my part for continued weight loss but I can’t say enough about the results. I’m now in my 40’s and am now the same size I was in my 20’s. I never had a flat belly until now, after Smartlipo. Thanks Dr. Heron!
