I have been using Botox for over 20 years in 5 different countries with different doctors and different techniques. I assure you, there is no one like Dr Zeina. He is EXCELLENT. His technique is the best I've ever received. And while other doctors are secretive about their "recipe", Dr. Zeina is totally transparent about what he is using, what he is doing and why he is doing it. I think this tells a lot about the kind of professional he is. I'm not easy to impress and I'm impressed. Thank you Dr. Zeina. Thank you Alternatives Clinic. I will be back for more!

A fantastic husband and wife holistic partnership. An oasis of expertise for health, well being and cosmetic treatments. I have been fortunate enough to have Dr Zeina as y consultant for over 10 years, he is excellent. Consultative, passionate and continually updating his knowledge and searching for best practice where possible. Thoroughly recommend a visit. Cannot recommend Dr Zeina enough. Excellent.
