Reviews and Complaints

PLEASE SEE DEB TRI'S RESPONSE TO MY REVIEW BELOW - After looking at the other reviews which I did NOT do before coming here my experience was the same as other's that gave this place a bad rating. The owner will not take accountability when she makes a mistake. She is argumentative and rude. She seems to only care about money and not the health, or welfare of her patients. I received no bill or documentation at the time of service as to what was injected in my face. I tried to reach the owner via her "contact" info on her website after calling her and not getting a response. I tried for 4 days to reach her as my face swelled, got redder and became asymmetrical. When confronted with the problems the owner of this spa refused to issue a refund, and after promising to help resolve the issues only sent me a copy of my invoice (which should have been provided at the time of service). I've never been treated with such a lack of care by a medical professional. I cannot recommend this "Medi Spa" to anyone unless you want your face to look like mine - swollen, red and asymmetrical - this was a disaster.

DEB TRI'S RESPONSE TO MY REVIEW WITH A SHORT COMMENT FROM ME -

You can find multiple reviews about Deb Tri and Simplicity Medspa on Google, Yelp, Birdseye and Dirty Scam. In Deb's response to all bad reviews she either denies any damage, is not accountable and blames the patient, or she denies knowing the patient (odd as there seem to be quite a number of patients that gave her a bad review that she doesn't know). Since Deb Tri loves to place the blame on the patient I will copy and include the parts of her email where she demands that I remove my reviews to receive any of the money I spent for this debacle. The quotes below are part of the email that Deb Tri sent to me today demanding I recant honest reviews in exchange for money. I'm appalled and distressed that a medical practitioner would go this far to avoid responsibility for a medical service which caused harm to a patient. This woman needs to think about her moral and ethical beliefs, in my opinion.

"I have to tell you that I really just want to be done with this nightmare as well. I am willing to compromise and send you a refund for my professional services. But not without you signing a written release that you will agree to remove your reviews posted on various social media sites, and agree to refrain from ever posting any defaming remarks on such internet social media sites about me, or Simplicity Medspa in the future."...
"Please let me know if you would like to resolve this as I mentioned above and I will take the necessary steps to have the release sent to you to have you sign it and also have a witness sign it. No refund payment will be made until you remove your reviews.
Once we have a signed release agreement, and you have removed reviews from all the various sites, then I will send you a check for $2500.00 dollars and we both can be done with this very unfortunate and horrific experience. "

"I hope that I hear a response from you by 5 pm tomorrow, Wednesday, January 30, 2019.

Debra "

To other patients considering going to this place of business I suggest you do your due diligence and research her multiple negative reviews on the internet. I have never "defamed" this ARNP as that would be a lie, or false statement. I would not have put my face, or name, on all my reviews exposing myself at my most vulnerable if any of this were not true - just to answer Deb's accusation against me, the patient, in this case.

Do not go to debra tri, arnp for injectables!

Debra tri, arnp completely botched me and is a disgrace to sponsors like merz botox and juvederm.

Debra tri, arnp warning from a survivor patient. I am a former victim of debra tri arnp. Her background is family medicine she has no dermatology residency whatsoever, only certificate hours from paid conferences.

Red flag: boasts about "innovative" techniques. Most providers use the same basic techniques - because they are proven safe and effective. Beware of providers like debra tri who say she uses "innovative" or "revolutionary" procedures.

Red flag: lacks hospital privileges, hospitals consider doctors' skill and training before granting privileges. Debra tri lacks certain privileges, evidence that the hospital is dubious of her ability. Debra tri gets around the problem by performing surgery in their offices - which is not the safest place.

There is a reason you should only go to dermatologists or plastic surgeons for injectables and not someone trained briefly and fails to possess a keen understanding of facial muscle structure. I would rate this crazy owner negative stars if I could. She will rip you off and do a horrible job. As a former patient who survived this dangerous provider, I can speak to the facts of her dangerous practice. Debra tri, arnp was negligent and failed to warn me of the dangers of and how it could affect me.
Debra tri, arnp uses mixed solutions tubes of fillers and injectables and claimed to use the entire tube. Before she injected me she left the room with the solution! Run please! Do research and go anywhere else. Please do not use debra tri, arnp, I do not want anyone else to be as upset as I was when I left. Research and you will know there are honest good businesses in town.

Debra tri, arnp has no business self proclaiming herself an "expert injector", no one qualified has given her that credential. Please do not go to debra tri, arnp. You will be making the biggest mistake of your life. I made the mistake and have to live with the consequences daily. Debra tri, arnp has no conscience nor regard for her actions. I have recently been dealing/coping with feeling and looking so disfigured, that people have actually stood in front of me staring and looking. Simple fine lines that were over injected? My face is lopsided and hideous looking. My own family, does not recognize me.

I came for a simple eyebrow lift, this should have been incredibly straightforward. Shortly after her injections, I realized they were not done well. The way the injections were placed, my brows were lifted too much at the end, a telltale sign of bad botox (it's also known as "spock eyebrows"). The fillers, something, was wrong with them… I don't know what I had injected in me but it burned and the burning has not stopped since the day I got injections from her.

Now I am in pain everyday and I look embarrassingly terrible.

Adding insult to injury (literally), I called her and went back to her clinic but she did not offer me no solution. So now, I have a dent in my forehead, overdone lumps, and my cheeks are swollen with leakage. I literally have an allergic reaction everyday due to who knows what she injected me with. Debra tri, arnp denied any wrongdoing. She accused me of having too high of expectations and that she didn't see anything wrong with me even though my face was swollen, red, and clearly in pain. I have leakage and a lot of side effects from her.

Debra tri, arnp is slick when she reassures you of her credentials. Debra tri, arnp is not board certified as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Debra tri, arnp kept saying she was board certified but she is only board certified as a family practice nurse practitioner how is that the same? It's not. Debra tri, arnp is slick lied to my face.

Do you really want an unsupervised procedure with no md on site? Do you want her injecting you with god knows what and sticking threads in your face? I've never had my face feel so clumpy and uneven. Debra tri, arnp wasted my time in driving there under the impression she were going to fix her mistake and not try and scam me into buying another vile. I had an even face before I went to see debra tri, arnp.

Debra tri, arnp was beyond insulting, in an attempt to confuse me she rambled off names of muscles in an effort to deflect blame towards her. She sounded unintelligible and sat on the computer showing me websites and photos of people that she never even treated. It got to a point where I literally called her out and she just shrugged. Debra tri, arnp is a truly dangerous and negligent injector and put me and my family through hell and she is worthy of being fully exposed.

Debra tri's lies -

No dermatology residency

Not a member of wa dermatology association

Not a member of american academy of cosmetic surgery

Not a member of american college of surgeons

Not a member of seattle dermatologic society

Not a member of seattle dermatologic society
Not a member of american society for dermatologic surgeryfellow

No affiliations with the american academy of facial plastics and reconstructive surgery fellowships

RUN AWAY from Debra Tri, ARNP! This was the most HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE! Debra Tri LACKS skill and is dishonest. I was left with hard BUMPS and LUMPS from Debra Tri's injections. I had constant burning and discharge from her injections. Debra Tri doesn't know what the hell she is doing. I went initially because it was CHEAP and I didn't want to wait but honestly if you have to wait a year to see an MD then it's better than going to this awful woman. This woman couldn't inject a target with a red dot even if she tried.

Debra Tri injured me and gave me unflattering injections that were lumpy and bumpy, don't take the chance that your body might reject a foreign substance. I want warn other women of the devastating effects of UNSKILLED injectors like Debra Tri who uses fillers and chemicals that dreadfully scarred me and I feel deformed now. Debra Tri injected me with way too much Juvederm and Botox in my frown lines and marionette lines. Debra Tri's back was turned and she also left the room before she returned to inject me. Any provider who LEAVES a room before injecting you be CAREFUL. Debra Tri also poked me about three times and kept muttering under her breath before injecting. I immediately inflamed with embarrassing bumps and welted overdone laugh lines, it looked horrible. Because I don't know what if she tampered with anything it is hard to know what this woman injected me with or what she decided to dilute or mix with.

Debra Tri REFUSED TO identify I had an injury despite the frequency of my visits. Debra Tri DENIED ever having any responsibility and she lied to my face. Debra Tri BLAMED everything and everyone, including ME, the patient for her fault in injecting me irresponsibly. Debra Tri is grossly NEGLIGENT and IRRESPONSIBLE. Because of Debra Tri I look freakish with hollow eyes, my eye bags fold when I smile and bumpy and uneven where I was injected. I have had Botox and other procedures before so I know what to expect but what I got from Debra Tri was on major insecurity to the next. Debra Tri has NO eye for aesthetics, and performs UNNECESSARY procedures that patients do NOT want or need. Save yourself the money, time, and stress, and go to a BOARD CERTIFIED MD who specializes in Plastic Surgery or Dermatology.

Debra Tri reaction to me was condescending, defensive, mean and so nasty when she didn't like what she heard. Debra Tri even said to me, "I'll just say I never saw you if you feel like you're going to talk about my services". Debra Tri kept insisting I looked better and what I had was exactly what "magazines" and "stars" have so I should be happy with the job she did. Debra Tri has a HUGE EGO and cannot take responsibility for doing something wrong. Debra Tri brags about knowing MD's on TV. Debra Tri does not know these doctors. Debra Tri goes to paid conferences and takes pictures CLAIMING to know them. Nothing qualifies Debra Tri as an "expert" except in her own head, her FAKE reviews which she pays for (Demandforce is a FAKE review site where she has her friends and family members post reviews, not real customers).

For those of you not familiar with WA State, even dentists can inject Botox if they attend a paid conference. Aesthetic medicine is no different, unfortunately WA State have little laws that require providers to have specialized training. It is difficult to be liable for malpractice in Washington State. Debra Tri has relied on that being able to run from clinic to clinic. Many offices consider injections not work doctor time and have a nurse doing the treatment. Aesthetic medicine should have the attention of a cosmetic surgeon, dermatologist who knows what they are doing. Debra Tri like to boast how long she's been a nurse. Debra Tri has had numerous problems with patients and colleagues leaving her to run a practice by herself. Even nursing students made complaints, "(Debra Tri) not a nice person, students know who she is before they have her as a teacher and have only heard negative statements about her". - Everett Community College Nursing Student. Debra Tri's last job was instructed staff to call 911 if Debra Tri was on premise. Debra Tri has run from Ambrosia MedSpa, to Radiant MedSpa, to now "Simplicity Medspa" and changing locations to prey on new victims.

Debra Tri is a FAMILY PRACTICE ARNP, not an MD or PA-C who is a board certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist. Debra Tri would NOT be able to work as a Dermatologist or open a clinic of her own at an actual hospital or ACC's. Debra Tri does not have the admission privileges, cannot do surgery herself, other MD's do NOT consult with her, and she lacks experience in residency and surgery for Plastic Surgery or Dermatology. Debra Tri doesn't seem to REALIZE family practice does NOT equal hours of residency and medical school in Plastic Surgery or Dermatology.

Debra Tri is the most unethical and unskilled injector out there. Debra Tri is dangerous and should be stopped before she destroys another persons life. Debra Tri cares about money, not her patients. Debra Tri takes ZERO ownership. Debra Tri fails on all scores, she's arrogant, inexperienced, and a poor explainer (educator) to basic questions. Debra Tri is in for a QUICK CASH GRAB. Debra Tri will present herself as an "expert" to skin, hair, and other issues. Debra Tri does not have specific credentials and training in many of the areas she is promoting. Do not waste your hard earned money with someone who does not respect you and will BLAME you and LIE about injuries like Debra Tri!

Women of Roosevelt, Debra Tri has injured many women out there and will offer you cheap deals to get your money. Debra Tri preys on your insecurities by offering to use you as a "model" for procedures. Debra Tri's previous employer Ambrosia MedSpa was instructed to call the police/911 if she was on the premises. Debra Tri is NOT an MD. This is like the Amy's Baking Company of spas! Debra Tri argues with patients she doesn't agree with. Debra Tri has no hospital organization she is affiliated with. Debra Tri rents out expensive office spaces as part of her presentation but look closely as she has no affiliations.

People of Seattle Roosevelt beware! There is a spa owner by the name of Debra Tri coming to your area! I was injured by Debra Tri and she had zero remorse. Debra Tri moves from location to location when her career "evolves", case in point, when she was fired from Ambrosia MedSpa and 911 and the police were to be called if she showed up on the property. To all the women out there in Roosevelt Seattle, don't go for cheap prices for Botox! Spend money to see and MD at a safe medical facility!

In my opinion, Debra Tri at Simplicity MedSpa injured me and took no responsibility for her actions. I was overcharged for the procedure she did, I found this out later after going to a reputable MD doctor. I was told that what Debra Tri did to me was ethically irresponsible and shame on her for putting me at risk for a procedure she had no control over. Her assistant Tracy Riggs - Glesener was a debtor in Washington State and had a Warrant For Unpaid Taxes - Employment Security [protected] (Satisfaction Of Warrant Id [protected]) on 09/24/03.

Her assistant Tracy Riggs - Glesener called me constantly on my phone asking me if I wanted to come in for "specials" or deals they had going, the calls were always when I was at work or inconvenient times. They were so seemingly desperate for my business or any and that should have been my red flag. Debra Tri had no proof that the procedure she did to me actually works! There is no doctor at Simplicity MedSpa and the nearest hospital is not close at all. I want everyone to know how scary this place is and I never realized how much risk I put myself in by going here. I would beg anyone to see a medical DOCTOR who is at a hospital or affiliation and not a small business like this. There is no accountability she will take and I don't want anyone to end up hurt like me.

I was scammed not only financially but as a patient and my patient care as I learned more from an MD and the damage she caused me for life.

Tracy Riggs - Glesener is a Liar and a Scammer, anyone thinking of Simplicity Medspa of a place to go should think twice. This place has no doctor and you are at least a couple of miles away from the nearest hospital. It is not run by a organization. This is a hole in the wall place so be careful! I would highly suggest anyone of coming here to reconsider since there is NO doctor here!

Everything is my opinion and how I feel *** I saw Debra Tri for a laser consult a while ago. Debra and her assistant Tracy Riggs - Glesener were very pushy about making a sale for laser. I was bombarded with phone calls. It is almost as if they were desperate for me to have this more than I was. I finally gave into a deal which I regret. I had deep bruising and the needle pen she used gave me poc-scars on my cheek! Debra kept insisting I looked better. Debra was rude and so was the assistant Tracy. As soon as they collected my money Simplicity MedSpa vanished into thin air and didn't give two cares what happened to me

Debra Tri and her Simplicity MedSpa took no accountability for what she did to me.I am only writing in my opinion and in fact.
Debra Tri denied ever doing any wrong or anything that she did to my face. I would tell anyone who is considering to going to a small business like this to do your research and to know who you are seeing.
I have a permanent scar that I will have to live with for the rest of my life.Since Debra Tri took no responsibility for me think to yourself if you want to risk being scarred or anything else and having her take no sympathy for you.

I initially went to Deb Tri (the owner) for Botox and filler and had no problems.But while there I learned about a treatment called Fractora that could help eliminate lines around the mouth area.

I decided to try it after talking with Deb. The cost was $600. To make a long story short, THE TREATMENT PERMANENTLY SCARED MY FACE! Luckily I only had the area around my mouth done.

I have many scars - some are recessed (like acne scars, but larger, and there are spots where there is loss of pigment (hypopigmentation) and darker spots (hyperpigmentation). Deb never said "I'm sorry", she didn't offer to refund my money. She acted like she didn't care. Needless to say, I no longer go to Simplicity Medspa.

I talked to a lawyer, but it's difficult, if not impossible, to get medical professionals to testify against each other and you have to prove negligence. I recommend The Larrabee Center on First Hill in Seattle. I have had about 6 Dermapin treatments to help reduce the scaring ($100 each).

They are wonderful!DO NOT GO TO SIMPLICITY MEDSPA!
