About 6 months ago, I started making comments to some woman who blogged. She was in the states. I’ve never met her. She posted some pictures of a friend of hers on her site.

A person who claimed to be a radiologist in Switzerland said “that needs to be checked immediately.”

Woman, unemployed, probably in her 50s, couldn’t afford to see a GP. I left my soul in Vietnam but I try to be human. She is in a central american country. Doesn’t speak the language but it was the best that I could afford. Email today that the radiologist believes the surgery got all of it. How much has it cost me? I have no idea. It doesn’t matter. She has a shot. How much does chemo cost? I have no idea, but I’ll go down trying to get her treated.

Yes, I am a radical atheist.

Kudos to you for starting this blog….I wish there was a way we could alert EVERYONE in the US and CANADA…Jeff Nourse is a Con artist! He is the worst kind of low life pond scum out there! Everyone is considered a “friend” or “valued employee” until you speak up about the fact that you have bills to pay, and need your paycheck on time, or are worried about purposely misleading customers and patients down the pathway to hell, literally taking their money with promises of not only receiving the product you paid for, but have your treatment performed by a trained professional, under the supervision of a Medical Director!! I am shocked at the so called “Employee” that wrote in to defend the criminal behaviour happening on a daily basis! Yes, as a Consumer it is our responsibility to ask questions….it is the responsibility of PUREMED, BRITESMILE (or whatever name of the moment they are using) to have experienced, informed and knowledgeable, trained staff available to give CORRECT and candid answers to those questions. It makes me sick to think that Jeff Nourse has the gall to continue to scam hard working, trusting clients, out of their money, and knowingly mislead people into believing they are entrusting their health and very livelihood into the hands of often, but not always, barely trained, careless people. Don’t be fooled….you don’t have to be in the ‘Industry’ to know what a criminal Jeff Nourse is, what a scam Pure/BriteSmile Canada is, and always has been! The people that work with him, continue to deflect the criticism and the true, for fear of NEVER getting the pay they deserve. Jeff Nourse does not have a problem spending all his ‘ill gotten gains’ on himself…lavishing in the lap of luxury, fancy cars (that he can’t drive, due to losing his driver’s license for DUI), vacations on his yacht in Florida. Yet he can’t meet his payroll obligations to employees, never mind the Doctors he has begged to work for him, and then subsequently quit because they had consciences and believed in the hypocratic oath they took when they became Physicians and Nurses, but also the hundreds and thousands of dollars he owes both Allergan and Medicis. He can’t get credit, and has resorted to bribeing employees to order product under their personal credit….and surprise, they are left holding the “bill”. This low life should be behind bars….he needs to be exposed for the narcissitic, criminal he really is! PLEASE…..DO NOT BE FOOLED….if not for the sake of your pocketbook then for your health…STAY AWAY FROM BRITESMILE AND PUREMEDSPA IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA….JEFF NOURSE IS THE CON BEHIND BOTH SCHEMES.
All this being, I did encounter some amazing staff who tried their best. In all likelihood, they are probably just as frustrated as the majority of the clients.
If you are in the media and truly wish to do an expose on this unethical company and it’s CEO I would love to speak with you personally, with the provision of anonymity.

This company is the worst company around. DO NOT buy anything from them. Paychecks are bouncing, and all they care about is selling, selling, selling. Prepay treatments are what they expect. They don’t pay the rent. Paychecks are late again. Why are these people still in business. I don’t get it. Jeff Nourse and Louise Talbot are bad people. I feel badly for the people who continue to work there. They like to hire people that are single mom’s so they have to work and will do anything to make money. Half of the centers don’t even have medical directors and they continue to use licenses of Dr’s who are no longer with the company. THIS ILLEGAL!! Someone should report to AMA. This company should be shut down. They don’t have any money to buy products so the nurses reuse needles. This is disgusting. Shut them down!!

So it’s really late and after reading California State laws regarding Med Spa I found you!

I AM FURIOUS with Pure med spa after purchasing $1,500 in fillers which was Special sale in 2007 they never had product to inject, then Beverly Center location closed and they shuttle me to Sherman Oaks lost my chart for 3 months.

Finally last week I go in for treatment and my nurse quit
then Michele the new Manager promised she find me a qualified RN. I show up 3 weeks ago and am greeted by this BITCH NADIA
who job is to intimidate into leaving spa, as she claimed my credit was no longer good. BULL
I had injections and had a terrible reaction under my eyes they swelled so bad it has affected my vision!
The next day I called to find Dr SOLOMAN and after 10 locations ( Pure SPA) in California clearly he is a paper only Dr.

I am suppose to see hime in Beverly Hills Bright Smile this week he asked if I massaged area NO the nurse advised
me not to!
I reported them to Medicis FDA Health Dept like to do more
and make them pay for poor business practices
Thanks Jennifer

I felt pressured in to buying these services and was not given adequate information after purchasing said services. I feel “duped.”

The ladies who work there are not helpful and do not feel for the customer. I am contacting news stations as I type this to evaluate their business ethics. Pure Med Spa is a scam and NO ONE should use them.

Please read all the reviews and complaints before you ever step near this fraudulent business.

It is your job as a consumer to ask questions about the person who is performing treatments on you (their education, training, experience, etc) And to research and ask questions about the treatment to be performed BEFOREHAND. I can educate you, yes. But you should do your homework as well.

As for PURE MED SPA not refunding money for services not provided.. I have not seen that at my Med Spa.

I am sorry for all of you who have had a terrible experience with my company.

I was shocked by a Velashape machine, and now that I don’t want to continue with any more sessions, they won’t refund. The Northwest manager stated that I first needed to file an incident report, and there was none. Plus, the manager didn’t say anything about it! She was in the front of the store when it happened, and helped change the head on the machine! The manager said that she was “overly honest”, yet she said she only needed to fill out a request for a refund. Now, the Northwest manager tells me that only SHE can do that. I didn’t misunderstand… the manager lied. The area manager said I might receive a refund on my Perlane purchase, but only because I had a reaction. I told her I wanted a refund on my Botox and my Chem Peel/microderm package for sessions not used. She said no. These people are nuts…why does anyone work for them?! How can they stand to be around themselves?

I just want the money back for the services I never received. It doesn’t look like this company has changed at all. I have tried calling the toll free number as well as the Tukwila, WA location, but I’m still not getting help. The physician who they brought over to look at my infection, was less than honest when he replied that “he would have to see what I looked like before deciding” if he would use erlane in the area between my eyes. The fact is that the dermatologist I’m seeing now said she would never do it, and all the doctors I’ve heard have said they would never use Perlane. If he would have to see it first, why was it okay for a salesperson with no medical experience to tell me it would be better and last longer???

Carriers are timed on every single thing they do, even rural carriers. That could be the reason he/she cuts over your lawn. Chances are that if you complain, he’ll get in trouble. No matter if he was told to cut across or not. That’s the postal way. I’ve learned that rules change as they go along and it’s usually rules that benefit management. But, on that note, I’ve got to go. All of you reading this blog site have a glorious day and God bless.

“Maybe I should be glad I get to know why.”

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Maybe you should be glad that you think you do.

Your little idea that my daughter somehow “craves” marriage is also presumptive and ridiculous. She went to a wedding the week before and loved the decorations and dresses.

Also, you clearly lack reading comprehension skills. I made the point that after she got over being bored because she knew the idiot box would not entertain her, she stopped complaining of boredom and entertained herself.

Or perhaps there is someone else she is looking at as a role-model? Some other example she is shining after?? Anyone in her vast circle planning a wedding? Now you just have to wonder why she is so deeply moved by this to copy it into her “boring” playtime sans TV.

Or perhaps your mother’s negativity has been embedded once again. What a lovely vibe to bring your next child into the world. Kudos on setting the stage for a grandiose repeat.

I am a former employee. Everything on here sounds exactly right. The first week I worked, another employee told me that several of her payroll checks bounced or that she was paid late almost every pay check. I ask the manager if this was correct she promised me it wasn’t. Later that day that employee was terminated. Every pay period our checks were late. Then I had a payroll check bounce. I complained about this and about equipment not working and was told I was being “NEGATIVE”. The manager stated any negative was considered cancerous and would be cut out. They threatened jobs and pay every week. I was told on several occasions that if the equipment wasn’t working, i was to “fake it”. I am a RN. I am not going to “fake” anything. I saw Dysport bottles being kept for weeks and weeks. I saw an eviction notice and was told “we are renegotiating our lease”. The product rep for Priori (the product line) told me that she was worried because none of the invoices were paid. The reps for Restylane said they gave our spa several syringes for training but sold them to clients instead and we owed them money so we wouldn’t be getting any more. Yet they were still selling them. I have seen the regional manager Corine lie about treatments or when equipment would be fixed. They have closed stores with no notice to clients or employees.

Please do not spend your money here. These are bad people and care NOTHING about you after you spend money. Brite Smile is Pure. it is the same people running it. They want you to think its new but its not…
