Waste of Money in Nashville, TN

Disappointed in TN
$5,000

I had the procedure and left with scars, webbed ear, etc., and paid extra to have the procedure done on my neck. It was a total waste of money. I look no different than I did before the procedure, except I will forever have the scars and the loan to pay off.

When I visited the doctor to ask for a refund he stated they prefer to do a second procedure. He also stated that a second procedure can be dangerous and if it did not take the first time, it will probably not take the second time around.

Now why would I want to have additional, worse scarring for no benefit. The doctor then told their corporate office that he thinks he could do another procedure. They contacted me and when I told them what the doctor said, they referred that I was lying because their doctor would not lie to them. Then proceeded to tell me the charge I would have to pay to correct their mistake.

I would have NEVER go through the pain, scarring etc. for no benefits and I would definitely not go through it a second time with the chance that it still would not work.

They seem to fail to tell you that when they taking your money.

Disappointed in TN's provider

You should file a consumer complaint with your state's Attorney General's Consumer Realations Department and on the compalint form explain it exactly as you did here. I've had good results doing this in my state. When I told the merchant what I was going to do they said "Go ahead" so I did. Six weeks later they had to compensate me. You should also call the Federal Trade Commision (1-877-382-4357)and explain your complaint.

Hi Tina.....I filed a written complaint with the FTC about 4 months ago and have not heard a thing. Which state are you in?? NYS fined them but I am filing separately as well. There is also a Class Action suit.

I live in Alaska, we tend to get quicker responses from our state offices since there is less population than the larger cities. The FTC (Federal Trade Commision) is different from the Attorney General's Consumer realations division which is through your state. If you file a written complaint through your State's Attorney Generals office they should send you a letter letting you know how long to expect a reply. There is a process that takes place but it goes something like this: Once you file a complaint they will contact the merchant, let them know of your complaint and ask for an explanation. The FTC may have the phone # for your state and or a website you can go to to download a complaint form and it should come with instructions and important information. I hope this isn't too confusing. Let me know if it helped. Tina

I think that anyone reading these comments and going ahead with the procedure is nuts! The negatives FAR outweigh the positives. Scary stuff.
