Well, i have used laser treatment more than one time. My first experience was too scary but trust me i didn't get as much pain as i was expecting. Anyways Using laser for your skin treatment is best technique so far.

I talked to someone about a month and a half ago. I even tried to call today and was on hold with no answer for 45 min. They just sent me an email stating my appt. was cancelled. I thought it was a mistake, but haven't been able to get them to answer since. I'm not sure what is going on, but I have been charged thousands of dollars and did not have ANY procedures! I am disputing the charges, but it's very frustrating!
Bev120 27 Oct 2011
Yes it is very frustrating...seems like they have screwed alot of us...I too am disputing charges...I put mine on CareCredit who Laser Bella recommended. I don't know how they can get away with this...I just sent in my written request disputing charges...I'm upset that I have no aftercare & not sure if I'm healing right from my 1st procedure...
Good Luck & keep us posted...any info you can share will ne helpful..

I had an appointment today to have laser liposuction, but it was cancelled and they still charged me for the procedure. I am currently disputing it with care credit. I tried to call, but the phone rang and rang with no answer. I am so confused about what is going on.
Bev120 27 Oct 2011
Are you serious? When was the last time you talked to someone at Laser Bella? How did you find out it was cancelled? I have not been able to get anyone on the phone in a month & no one answers my emails...who was doing your lipo? I was charged for 2 procedures & they only did one before they disappeared.

yes Dr. Locke I'm referring to. I am so glad I came out of this lipo experience unscathed. Apparently I'm one of the lucky few.
Spycegrl93 17 Oct 2011
I found this docs website and pain management with lipo??? Weight loss and lipo???? Google has this listed as an affiliate of Laser Bella btw.
lipoornotlipo 19 Oct 2011
You are talking about Dr. Locke right? Yes, I have googled him too. He is not a liposuction doctor and he is doing pain management and got busted by GA board for writing pain medications. And did you see that he threatened his victim of exposing the before and after pictures on here? I think he is out of his mind and I hope Dr. Locke's victim sue him and get her justice back. Dr. Locke should be arrested.
Thank you for the update

I'm sorry if my review led anyone to go to this group which has been mismanaged for years apparently. I was basing solely on my treatment and results. To date I am healing well and had no complications. Between the credit card disputes and the financing companies tracking down laser Bella, I'm sure they will be found and sued. Anyone owed money needs to go to the police so they can handle this. This is beyond surgery. This is criminal. I would go to the docs again if they're at reputable practices.

Ms Arias
Your comments have been brought to my attention. First of all, I am deeply sorry and I do regret that you are unhappy. In response to your comments, please do not confuse Laser Bella's activities with those of my own or my practice. My rent has never been even a day late, My landlord is right next door and will verify. We have not moved since our last communication with you. ANYone can communicate with us. As for your "messed up body" if you give written and public permission (since this is your chosen venue) We will post your own before and after pictures online for all to see. I can likewise forward them to your attorney as well. Your pictures will allow any reasonable person to make their own decision. One constructive criticism comes out of your comments. I will arrange this week for a link to copies of my many credentials and certifications to do aesthetics and liposuction to be available to anyone upon request.

Dr. Locke's Victim 17 Oct 2011
WOW a doctor threaten to put patient's before and after procedure pictures online in order to exchange the credential that qualifies him to do such procedure? Enough said. What a crooked doctor you are. What is the address of your imaginary wise medical center? Post the address then me and my lawyer will be there first thing in the morning. Bring it on. You do not have credential and proof of doing liposuction at all. Your gig is up. I am not going to waste any more time to read you BS. POST YOUR ADDRESS. You disgusted me.

Dr Locke 12 Oct 2011

I am truly sorry to hear about the difficulties some of you have experienced. I left Laser Bella at the end of April-Not on the friendliest terms .I won't elaborate here. I can not be responsible for what happened after April 2011, but we are happy to assist patients with follow up care needs regardless of when they were seen at my new locations in Roswell or Suwanee. Contact us via email. We won't leave you hanging.

Dr. Locke's Victim 15 Oct 2011
Dr. Locke, I have been looking for you all over. Please give me your new practice address. You messed up my body and I went to your new Roswell office after you left Laser Bella more than 10 times, no one was in that empty office. I asked your landlady next door and she said you ran away without paying rent and your credit score is very bad so she doesn't know where you could possibly at. I went to LaserBella before they went down their business but it turned out that you have my patient chart and my lawyer told me that you are not even qualified to be a liposuction doctor!!! how dare you operated on me? How dare you lied to me that you have done 200 cases? I am so glad you are posting on here. My lawyer and I have been looking for you. Please post your "real" wise medical center address and please post your real license of training in liposuction and surgery credential of doing liposuction and I will love to see that. Your victim Bernada Arias
