Best Doc to go to more

Thank you for everything you have done for me! more

I have been seeing Dr. Ricke since 2004. I had gotten burned on my face from a portable outdoor heater. It was my face and it looked terrible. I needed to do something and maybe even plastic surgery. I made an appointment to see Dr. Ricke and within 6 months the scar was gone and done without any surgery. I now see Dr. Ricke reguraly for all my IPL's, botox and fillers. He has very gentle hands and makes me feel very comfortable when having my procedures done. He is very knowledgable about what he does and explains in detail.\r more

best place to go for anything you need done more

Suzie and Dr. Ricke are the best in the industry!! Excellent on every level. I thank them for all they have done for me and my mom. My advise for anyone looking at these reviews is don't go to anyone else other than Suzie and Dr. Ricke.\r more

This doctor is the best around I would recommend him to everyone I know. more

I've been going to Dr. Ricke for several years for my botox. The man is a pro - he is extremely knowledgeable about botox and fillers, etc. - and he takes the time to study your face, determine what is needed, share his suggestions with you, get your feedback, and then proceed. He is patient and he listens. He's been in the field many years. You can tell his focus is on giving you what you want --- not trying to sell you more procedures. He also takes steps to minimize any pain from the needles - and is supremely gifted in injecting the botox. The first time I got botox was from another medical clinic (a dermatologists office). They charged more, didn't take the time to freeze the part of my forehead before injecting it, and overdid it - causing me to get a bizarre lump on my forehead that really frightened me! I also get microderm and pore cleaning services from Suzie Savage. She is terrific. Her machine is a medical grade or more powerful model than ones found in regular aesthetician's offices so you get a more effective treatment. My skin always feels and looks fantastic after a session with her. Plus, she is just a terrific gal - always a delight to see her. more

It's one of the best places in San Diego to get microdermabrasion - nowhere else you can have it combined with ultrasonic pores cleansing and an oxygen facial - the actual oxygen mask on for 10 minutes. After the procedure my skin is always glowing - no redness, no spots. The prices are also unbeatable. Thank you, Susie!! more

I bought a Groupon for 3 visits of microdermabrasion with ultra sonic pore cleansing with Susie. I've been to two visits so far and am hooked. Susie is amazing and I plan to continue my facials after my initial 3 visits;) more

THe only reason I'm giving 4 stars rather than 5 is because I need to see how this place operates over time. I saw their ad in the reader for Laser hair removal on SALE due the the lagging economy and, on a whim, gave a call. Ended up going in there and buying 10 sessions of hair removal for a little under $800.00, which should have my hair area completely gone, a great bargain if you consider the cost and pain of waxing regularly :P Most people need 5-6 but I have thick hair! You have to go back every 4-6 weeks for another treatment so this should be a yearlong process. I was told by some that it would be painful but it was nothing compared to a wax!! One treatment took less than 15 pain-free minutes. They offer a lot of other services here, another thing I discovered prompted by that Reader ad was Microdermabrasion and the subsequent pore-cleansing process. OMG! I am never getting a regular facial again, since all I really wanted from facials were the extractions which they usually would do MINIMALLY at other institutions. I am going to keep coming back to the Institute because for under $100.00 I can get the Microderm (which does not hurt at all...feels like a cat tongue licking your face all over)...and then she is able to take all of the gunk out of the pores, and it's AMAZING!!! Gets your pores so much cleaner than any facial ever will. My face and future hairlessness thank the Reader for my discovery of this Solana Beach Gem!! more

I recently visited your office because I had an upcoming job interview. It was very important to know that my appearance and age would not work against me on the Big Day!! I landed the position and have even continued the job search due to my new found confidence!!!! Thank you and your staff for making all of this possible. more

I love going to Susie!! She is fantastic at microdermabrasions, and is so friendly that it makes it an actual relaxing, enjoyable experience. My skin feels fantastic every time I leave... and I don't have the greatest skin. I've also seen Dr. Ricke recently and am happy with his work too. Highly recommend both of them.\r more

I have been a patient of Dr. Ricke’s for six years. In that time I have utilized several of the treatments offered including the IPL FotoFacial, the ‘lunch time peel’ as well as Botox, and the dermal fillers. Dr. Ricke is well trained and up to date with the latest techniques and technologies and I am always confident about trying something new. My skin is in the best condition now than at the time of that first appointment six years ago. Dr. Ricke makes sure I am informed and comfortable with all the procedures. I look better than ever and I can thank Dr. Ricke and his great staff for that more
