Patient Reviews

I've been going to Fulcrum for a few months now.

I've been going to Fulcrum for a few months now. I have received Botox, dysport, and facials in regards to services - all of which have been 10/10. Everyone from the front desk associates to the techs to the aestheticians to management has been so pleasant, informative and helpful whenever I come in + they do a great job in post-treatment check-in's which I really appreciate as a customer. Chris Martindale is my go-to guy. Oh, did I mention the space is GORGEOUS; very chic, curated and you feel fabulous just stepping into the lobby. Lastly, they offer a wide selection of products in-store t...

It was my first time at Fulcrum and it won’t be my last.

It was my first time at Fulcrum and it won’t be my last. The facility is clean and aesthetically pleasing. Everyone I interacted with was hospitable and professional, especially Karolina. She provided the best facial I have ever had and I left feeling relaxed and glowy. She was thorough in her process and listened to my skin concerns. Can’t wait for my next appointment. Highly recommend Karolina!

I got a facial for my Mother’s Day gift and it was the BEST facial I’ve ever had!

I got a facial for my Mother’s Day gift and it was the BEST facial I’ve ever had! Karolina was so sweet, took her time and explained what she was doing. I was glowing and looked years younger when I walked out!

What a gorgeous med spa too! Will definitely go back again!

I had my first experience at Fulcrum this past weekend and it was amazing! The staff are so kind and welcoming, and the office is absolutely beautiful! I worked with Danielle for my first ever experience with Dysport and, not only was she so compassionate and helpful, but she also made the whole process incredibly easy and comfortable. I highly recommend both Fulcrum and Danielle!

I have been seeing Brittony for about 8 years now, so when she decided to open up Fulcrum, of course I followed her there as well.

I have been seeing Brittony for about 8 years now, so when she decided to open up Fulcrum, of course I followed her there as well. The first time I walked into Fulcrum, I was blown away!!! besides of the beautiful aesthetics, the front desk and entire staff was very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and sweet! I was seen in one of the treatment rooms for a “prep” and then Brittony came in to do her magic. 10/10 experience! I go back for Botox touch-up every 4/6 months and honestly can not and will not even trust anyone else ♥️ if I could give it 10 stars I would!

When I inquired about a service for my 12 year old daughter who was bit by a dog on her face, Dr. Hill's staff responded promptly.

When I inquired about a service for my 12 year old daughter who was bit by a dog on her face, Dr. Hill's staff responded promptly. We felt the compassion and concern right there. We were welcomed by a smiling staff. The clinic was very neat and tidy. Dr. Hill was very kind and pleasant. He did a CO2 Cool Peel and my daughter was very comfortable on both sessions. Dr. Hill helped bring my daughter's confidence back and her face is healing nicely. Many thanks to this wonderful doctor and the amazing staff he has.

This place is amazing!

This place is amazing! From the aesthetic the moment you walk in to the friendly staff. Emilio was so wonderful to work with! He explained everything to me and what would work best for my face/skin. He made me feel very comfortable and I already see results on day 1! Thank you for being so great! Can’t wait to come back!

I flew from the UK to Chicago to have treatment with Britt.

I flew from the UK to Chicago to have treatment with Britt. I’ve know Britt for some years as one of the best in the business. She is so thorough in her consultation, I felt in really safe hands, and despite having a combination of filler and sculptra it was extremely comfortable. I was delighted with the results. It’s difficult find a great injector she is one of the best. If I only lived closer; Dr Hill could sort my post baby flab and fix my eyelids 😆

I have been a patient of Brittony for a couple years now and have always loved everything she does, she is very skilled and has a natural approach that I personally love.

I have been a patient of Brittony for a couple years now and have always loved everything she does, she is very skilled and has a natural approach that I personally love. I’ve had experiences in the past getting over injected and have never come close to that while seeing her! Brittony has a level of knowledge and professionalism that is unmatched!!

Fulcrum is also one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever walked into. Everyone is incredibly helpful and always very welcoming. The level of service is top tier from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. I can&r...

Nurse practitioner Brittony and Dr Hill did it right!

Nurse practitioner Brittony and Dr Hill did it right! The space is just beautiful! The staff is top notch! A 5 star experience from the front door and back out! Emily did my facial today and my skin feels like it aged in reverse! She was also incredible intelligent when it came to explaining the different skin products and services that would suit my skin! The front desk is so welcoming and kind! All around a great med spa and I have seen my fair share! Thank you guys for always making me look and feel my best!

You guys rock and congrats on such a beautiful vision coming to fruition!...

Absolutely stunning, state of the art medical spa with the most professional, kind and caring staff you’ll ever find.

Absolutely stunning, state of the art medical spa with the most professional, kind and caring staff you’ll ever find. I’ve been seeing Brittony for years and she is the absolute best in the business for Botox and I would never go anywhere else. She listens to exactly what you want and also has so much expertise because not only is she a trainer of other injectors but she is constantly educating herself. I’ve also seen Dani and Emily for facials and laser and they are absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable.

Every last touch of this beautiful space speaks to how much ...

I recently got botox Fulcrum Aesthetics and had an amazing experience!

I recently got botox Fulcrum Aesthetics and had an amazing experience! The entire staff is so kind and attentive, which makes treatment a very comfortable experience. They were able to squeeze me in the same day due to some immediate concerns I was having. Chris did my botox, and I have only amazing things to say! He confidently listened to all of my concerns and was clearly very knowledgable on the entire process. I tend to be very picky on were I go for my treatments, and I definitely recommend going here!!

He is absolutely the best Surgeon, he is so meticulous

I would love to share my experience, my adventure with Dr. Hill! Nine days ago, he did my facelift my neck lift. He is absolutely the best Surgeon, he is so meticulous. He has the highest credentials , he demands a lot of himself. And he gives 100% to everyone of his patients ! He gives such compassion to his patients thats the person that he is, he also was very excellent at informing me of the procedure and what to expect before during and after surgery he was there the whole way ! His  ability as an artist  to make an ordinary face with lots of wrinkles with sun damage living i...

They look EXACTLY how I wanted them!

Dr. Hill and his team did a great job on my surgery. I got my breasts done a few months ago and they look EXACTLY how I wanted them!

In the surgery center, him & his team did a great job at keeping me calm (the actual procedure was the part I was worried most about). The healing process was minimal and Dr. Hill was available to answer any questions I had pre/post surgery. I would highly recommend!

A.L.

He’s unbelievable!

Dr. Hill is fantastic! After having kids and being diligent for years in the gym and with my diet, I still had a lot of excess skin that made me uncomfortable to wear a 2-piece. I wanted to be able to feel great in the body that I was working so hard to achieve. After my initial consultation with Dr. Hill, I knew he was the right fit. His confidence in achieving more than I even expected (after having been told by other surgeons a breast lift after kids/nursing wasn’t possible) was just the beginning. His attentiveness to any questions before and after care is hands down WAY more than...
