I have been to numerous spas in Manhattan & I am recommending that people not service this spa. They advertise regularly for Spa Week & then regularly take back their offer. This year they advertised as part of Spa Week that you could have laser hair removal on any body part, a facial or mesotherapy. I made an appointment online to have laser hair removal on my legs & a facial as part of Spa Week (which is advertised as $50 per service). They called me to tell me that since I had been to the spa before that I couldn't participate in Spa Week. Every other Spa I contacted in NY was letting existing clients participate in Spa Week & they were welcoming and gracious in booking appointment. I decided to look up Wellpath's ad again on Spa Week & it clearly stated that the offer was good for - laser hair removal on any part of the body, a facial or Mesotherapy & it did NOT exclude existing clients. I told them this & they said that the ad was a mistake. They then said that I could have laser hair removal on my bikini or underarms since I never had that before. I corrected them & told them that I had laser hair removal on these areas at their spa but never had it on my legs. They then responded that they don't want to offer it on the leg area. I responded that then they shouldn't say in your Spa Week ad that a person can have laser hair removal on any body part since this represents false advertising. The entire experience was difficult & they seemed to make things up as they went along. They place ads as a come on & then do not honor them & try to find an excuse. There are many wonderful spas in NY to chose from. I would recommend staying away from this one! They did call to offer me Mesotherapy after I complained about the treatment I received in trying to book an appointment for an advertised special. I would NEVER consider getting this - it involves injecting chemicals into the body & is not endorsed by the medical community.

Pros: in NYC

Cons: They don't honor their advertisements & make up excuses to try to make you pay full price

I have had the pleasure of experiencing Wellpath's abundance of treatment options and have never been disappointed with the quality of service. Dr. Jame' Heskett and her staff are top notch and always make me feel like part of the Wellpath family. I feel so lucky to have found this spa and to be so well taken care of each time I visit for a treatment. I have never had an unpleasant visit and will definately be a loyal customer for as long as they provide their wonderful services. I have recommended all of my friends to visit the spa for a treatment and now many of them are loyal customers as well. I rely on Wellpath to keep me looking beautiful!

Pros: calming atmosphere, peaceful escape from the hectic city, wonderful staff

Cons: none!

II have been a client of Dr. Jame's for almost four years and I recommend her and Wellpath without reservation. Dr. Jame is extremely knowledgeable and capable. I have had laser hair removal on most parts of my body and it has been more effective than I could have ever imagined. I have not had to shave my legs in years!!! She has changed this hairy Italian gal's life! I also have had both IPL and peels done on my face for a good amount of sun damage and dark spots. The treatments have vastly improved both the texture and the glow of my skin. My mom always says that my skin has never looked better. I look more refreshed and my skin has literally been transformed. In addition to the amazing results from treatments, I also cannot say enough about Dr. Jame's "bedside manner" and her wonderful staff. She REALLY cares about her clients and puts her heart and soul into making sure you are happy with the results. She really puts you at ease and she just exudes something that makes you feel completely relaxed. If you want a warm, friendly and down to earth place with zero attitude, a caring staff and an awesome and professional doctor, this is the place for you. P.S. My mom goes to Leda for eyebrow waxes every time she is in town and LOVES them.

Pros: Professionalism, Results, Service, Atmosphere

Cons: None so far (in four years)

I have been to Wellpath many times for a variety of services and I regret every trip that I made. Leda’s facials are not only ineffective but she smokes and does so in between clients, so as her hands massage your face you get the lovely waft of cigarettes. The manager is a snob and the Jamie proclaims to be so committed to women’s’ holistic health yet she prefers to attempt to treat cellulite rather than see patients that have legitimate medical issues. Many of her treatments are ineffective and the overall vibe of the place is one of arrogance, go to a real medspa there are some great one’s in this city.

Pros: none

Cons: everything

Response from this business

This comes as a surprise to us
Posted on 10/11/2007
We regret that a client who has visited multiple times felt uncomfortable coming to us with this list of concerns, but still continued to come in for services. For the record, our esthetician Leda does not smoke. If this client would like to come forward, we would be happy to try to address these issues as Wellpath holds itself to the highest standards.

I asked my new boyfirend what he likes best about me, and he said my "derriere." I owe it all to the carboxy & meso treatments at Wellpath. I called on Monday to schedule my next session :-)

I've done their Carboxy Therapy, Endermology, laser hair removal, laser for acne, facials and eyebrow waxing. The whole staff is amazing - warm and friendly, helpful, wonderful. When I was told that the laser treatments were "painless" I laughed. But they really are!!! And I'm a HUGE wimp. Dr. Jame is sensitive and gentle and really takes her time with you. Jennifer makes you feel like a sister. The receptionist's are great. And Leda gives the BEST eyebrow wax I've EVER had. I love this place. It's like, my home away from home.

Pros: Beautiful boutique spa with AMAZING staff

Cons: NONE!

The Epicuren Facial at Wellpath medi-spa is an amazing experience. When you enter this boutique size spa you feel like the spa is reserved for only you. After changing into a compfy robe you begin a total skin transformation. The facial is thoroughly cleansing and has anti-aging fruit acid peel that made my skin feel like I was a kid again. Not only do you get amamzing results, but the entire time the facialist is working on you, you never feel like it is 'intense'...it feels like a beauty treatment. The facialist even faned me with japanese fans when I had the acid peel on my face so I wouldn't get too hot. I had met with a make-up artist for an upcomming session of pictures the week before my facial, when I walked in the day of the shoot he was amazed at the difference in my skin. I had fabulous pictures taken, and the pictures didn't need any re-touching on my face because the facial had made my skin so radiant! I highly recommend this friendly, beautiful spa to everyone.

Pros: very private and friendly

This week, I came in for the 2nd time to meet w/Dr. Jame for carboxytherapy for my stretchmarks, and I have to say that this is the only treatment that works. My stretch marks on my hip-thigh area have faded and become less white (I have tan skin so they really show up) and have gotten thinner. It's pricey, but definitely worth it since the results are permanent. The doctor is very professional and sweet and made the procedure as comfortable as possible. I would definitely recommend going to Wellpath to treat stretch marks, and I'm sure I'll be checking out the other great services here as well.

I did the carboxytherapy with Dr. Jame Heskett and the results were amazing. The place is cozy, comfortable, and clean. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful and Jame herself is very sweet. She makes you feel comfortable and safe and explains the treatments very well as well and clearly knows what she is doing. She'll let you know when something is going to hurt and she does everything she can to make it go as smoothly as possible, not to mention how accomadating and kind she is. I loved loved loved the results and the whole experience. Recommend it to everyone out there.

Pros: Close to metro, friendly people, well knowledged, clean and comfortable, good ambience

Cons: None that I experienced

I just completed my fourth treatment of carbossy by Dr. Jame and cant believe the results. My skinny jeans are fitting amazingly! I am so happy I felt the need to share! Everybody at Wellpath is attentive and fantastic- I have also had my makeup done using Jane Iredale products (which are so much better for the skin during this crazy heat) and Endermologie with Jennifer- who is a doll! Wellpath is a great spa that delivers even greater results!

Pros: The staff- and the results!!!!

Cons: none that i can think of--- it is worth the price
