  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Rare Infection!!!!!

  • 17 Jun 2014
  • 3 months post
My original review was nothing less than optimistic and positive. I could not have imagined that I would end up with a rare infection causing me to be hospitalized and corrective surgery. Even worse is the rigorous regime of intravenous as well as oral antibiotics I'm on for months possibly years. I am absolutely floored. I contracted an infection called Mycobacterium Fortuitum. This bacteria is generally contracted from unsanitary tools/facilities. What's even more disturbing was finding out that this was not the first case in Dr. Salama's office with one reported earlier this year or last year. I know infection and complications are risks of surgery, but what I don't expect is improper sanitation of work tools/facility. There are state and federal guidelines and mandatory precautions to avoid things like this from happening. They were not followed and in turn I have to endure a botched tummy tuck, constant pain and discomfort as well as a lifestyle change to accommodate hooking up to an IV twice a day for God knows how long. I am extremely unhappy to say the least. I have informed Dr. Salama of my condition up until the point I was diagnosed with the infection. Once I told him what I was diagnosed with he never even called to follow up or show concern. Very disappointed and afraid. This infection can be life threatening if I am not diligent and disciplined and that is terrifying. Please inform yourselves and be wary. God be with you.
