So happy I was referred to this place! I was nervous about getting Botox for the first time but the nurses were so knowledgable and helped walk me through the process, expectations, and answered all my questions. Also very, very pleased with results. Pura Vida has been so professional and the space is very relaxing, clean, and friendly. I'm looking forward to exploring some of the rest of what the have to offer in the coming year!

I have been coming to puravida for a few months and I absolutely love it! The staff is super professional and informed. They are able to answer any and every question I have from laser hair removal to facials. Dawn, Linda and Karen are super sweet and make you feel comfortable. My skin has cleared up so much from the routine Linda recommended. The space is always super clean and I always feel like I’m being pampered. 10/10 and I will continue to keep coming! 💜

I am grateful to have met Dr. Apgar. She is the kind of doctor I want to be. She took my concerns seriously, as did the Pura Vida team. As the client, it is easy to sometimes be labeled "difficult" but cosmetic procedures are expensive and clients should feel comfortable voicing their vision and concerns without feeling judged. They don't always know what the recovery/post-op process may look like, but they're guided by their intuition. Thank you team for your patience and support <3

I’ve visited for facials and have had positive experiences. It’s a clean and comfortable atmosphere and the staff is friendly and professional. They are happy to answer questions, but are not pushy at all about products or services. I definitely plan to keep coming back!

I have been receiving laser hair removal with PuraVida and will continue to look into other services offered!! The staff are all knowledgeable, organized and extremely warm hearted. Big plus that the laser treatment is painless as well; as other places I have received consults from do not have the updated machinery like this medical spa. Overall, LOVE IT!

From the time I scheduled my appointment until now - everyone at the spa was overly accommodating with every aspect of their services. This was my first time getting injectables so I was a little nervous and didn't know what to expect. I met with Karen and she was so informative and I felt like she truly wanted what was best for me, and wouldn't talk me anything unnecessary or allow me to do anything too drastic before my wedding. It was all of the small little gestures and suggestions that just really made me feel like they care and everyone is SO knowledgeable about what they do. I'm absolutely

I have always had great professional experiences with Dr. Apgar and her team at Pura Vida. My consultation and service with Dawn was honest and helpful. She took her time to hear my questions and concerns and helped me make the best decision for me. I was comfortable and well taken care of.
