WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB:
Getting to go to work every day and be surrounded by the most supportive and uplifting team is truly a gift. I love connecting with patients on a personal level and also getting to be a part of their esthetics journey. There is no better feeling than helping someone to become the most confident version of themselves.
Very happy with each experience I’ve had with Dr. Rice and his staff. Everyone is friendly and helpful; Dr. Rice is so very knowledgeable, experienced and kind.
FIVE STARS FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCES AT ESTHETICS CENTER!!
I’ve visited The Esthetics Center a few times now and every visit has been phenomenal. The front desk staff is welcoming and timely, the office is immaculate and beautifully decorated, and Melissa has delivered such wonderful customer service as well as skilled technique and services. I have received Botox and filler and will not go anywhere else! I love this place and couldn’t recommend it enough :)
I love everything about The Esthetic Center!!! From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted by beautiful decor and smiling, welcoming faces. The nurses are extremely skilled and so gentle. I can’t tell you my favorite nurse injector because they honestly are all Amazing. Dr. Rice is not only a master at his craft but so kind and a pleasure to talk to. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed.
It is always an amazing experience at the esthetics center. The staff members are so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I went in for a microneedling with PRP facial and the whole process was so easy.
This place is amazing! It’s like a luxurious spa and Dr. Rice and his team of experts are so knowledgeable, professional and refreshingly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend them for any of your esthetic needs.
I always have the best experience at the Estherics center, from the receptionist to the nurses, everyone is so welcoming and friendly! The nurses are always knowledgeable and have your best interest in mind!!
I have always been treated like a princess at the Esthetics Center. The whole staff seems to light up with the friendliest faces. I have had nothing but the best and expected results from my visits.
Every time I come here it’s such an amazing high class experience!! Everyone is so nice and really make you feel welcome. Highly recommend this place for all your beauty needs!!
Dr. Rice was amazing. He took excellent care of me. Took his time with me explaining everything he would be doing before hand. Was gentle, caring, not in a rush and most of all made me feel comfortable. I would highly suggest him to anyone. I will definitely be going back. Oh and his team was also great.
I’ve been receiving services at the Esthetics center for over 3 years now, every time I walk in to the moment I walk out I enjoy my experience! The front desk gals and boys are always friendly and prompt! Knowledgeable staff and beautiful cosmetic center, dr. Rice is one of the best I recommend all my friends/clients!
I love the EDH Esthectics Center! Dr. Rice is a highly skilled surgeon that strives for perfection! He and his team make you feel comfortable and welcome from the moment you walk in the door. Daniel at the reception desk always greets me with a friendly “hello” and goes out of his way to accommodate my busy work schedule with multiple appointment options. Dr. Rice’s surgical assistant Tammy is very knowledgeable, warm and helpful. She provides clear instructions before and after surgical procedures and always calls you the night prior to surgery to check in and reassure any concerns. Overall, the Esthectics Center is a top notch experience whether having a surgical procedure or simply having a facial. I am a customer forever! Jessica G.

Dr Rice is an amazing surgeon! I had a blepharoplasty done by him a year ago and am so pleased with the results. If you're looking for someone that is meticulous in his work, go to Dr Rice. You will not be disappointed.
What thoughtful, thorough care I received today- an incredible experience that is unique and oh so refreshing (both in terms of results and personal attention)!
I love every visit to the esthetics center. All of the staff are so friendly, talented, and knowledgeable. I always leave feeling great and well taken care of. :)
This place is amazing! All of my services have gone flawlessly and I’m so impressed with all of my results. The staff have all been friendly and great to work with. Will certainly keep coming back!
Had my first treatment at Esthetics Center. She was the best! She gave me recommendations on product placement and was conservative yet thorough, which is exactly what I was hoping for! I’ll be a repeat customer!
The Esthetic Center is the best cosmetic enhancement location in all of El Dorado and Sacramento County. They ensure my face doesn’t move and my lips look plump! Thank you for the great service every time !
Always just the best. I live in Florida and always book an appt when I’m in town. There is nothing like it. The staff is amazing. State of the art facility and they always have the latest!
Love this place! Very friendly staff, beautiful and clean location. I never feel pressured to buy a service I dont want or need. You were so very kind and helpful, thank you!
Every single visit, beyond expectations! The service is outstanding. Everyone always makes me feel incredibly special and takes extra time to make sure I have everything I need. On top of the amazing experience, the quality of work never disappoints. My new favorite treatment is tear trough filler! Go get some!!!
Very welcoming. Listened to all my concerns and I am more than happy with how I look. Will be back in December for a little of this and that. Thank you all for making feel very comfortable. Wonderful experience.
I’ve always loved every service at the Esthetics Center! From facials and lip filler to botox and CoolSculpting, they exceed expectations! I’m a customer of over 2 years! Thanks Esthetics Center!
I have been to esthetics center several times and I must say they are just wonderful from the minute you step into the office until you leave! They are the first office that actually listened to the result I was looking for and took care of it! I won’t go anywhere else again! Thanks!
This was our very first time ever coming to a place like this. They were very nice and super informative every step of the way! Definitely will be back
Visited Esthetics Center for a consultation. The nurse that helped me provided me with tons of information, answered all my questions, and offered me a treatment plan that works for me and my needs. I highly recommend visiting Esthetics Center if you’re considering esthetics services!
My experiences at the Esthetics Center are absolutely lovely. Everything from the lobby decor to the special attention they give you is worth 5 stars. I drive 60 miles for my treatments because I trust the nurses and I know I’ll be taken care of.
Experience was great. All the employees that I spoke with were beyond nice and helpful. Before my procedure the Dr. explained exactly what he would be doing and asked if I had any questions or concerns. The procedure was so fast and pain free I actually thought he was joking when he said, “thank you, you’re all done”. Definitely recommend.
Perfect and painless laser hair removal! I can’t wait to go back and look into the other services Esthetics Center offers! After such a quick, professional and effective experience I will be a loyal customer for life!
Always an amazing experience with the up most professionalism. They listen to what you are looking to achieve and give you their honest and full attention. Book as you are leaving even if you’re not sure you need a next appointment 😊
Great experience as soon as walked in. Friendly staff, very accommodating and answered all my questions regarding the procedure that I will be doing in September.
