Arvin Taneja, MD

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

i had several procedures with this dr. First I got a breast lift with augmentation saline 700 shells over filled to 800. I haa ad d to go in for a second procedure on the left side cause implant didn’t drop. Dr Taneja was awesome, then I had my tummytuck in 2018 and I can’t say I was very pleased. I got told to take two Norco fives every four hours after my procedure because I was in so much pain the Norco‘s were not even helping me when they asked me to take two every four hours I said what happens when I finish they said to call them back and they will refill it . Instead when I called back the lvn or end would not refill the meds! Said I took them too fast but I follow their instructions! Then they gave me tramadol which was nothing for my level of pain! I got neuropathy and the nurse practitioner that helps dr Taneja didn’t believe me and treated me like I was drug seeking! She thought I had a seroma which I did not! I had a nerve problem that I was unable to stand up for more then 1-2 minutes with out feeling like someone was biting me with fire! When I went in to see her again she disregarded it didn’t believe me said that they’ve never seen this before I had to see Dr. Taneja I saw Dr. Taneja and he told me he’s only seeing this with one other patient they gave me gabapentin and tramadol then a popped a stitch straining to use the restroom on my right side. When I told the nurse practitioner that I felt a pop and now I have a big lump in my groin area by the incision she told me don’t worry everybody gets that but I told her there’s something in there that I can keep pushing back inside well turns out when I went with my primary care physician a pop the stitch and I had a hernia now because I had muscle tear were the stitch was inside my intestines were popping out so I had to get mesh put in through my PCP! I don’t feel like they did lipo like they promised I still was left with a lot of skin I felt like ! I don’t recommend this office like I used to because the wait times are very long they don’t care if you’re in pain they won’t give you medicine you’re kind of just treated like you’re over reacting and they don’t realize that everybody’s level of pain is not the same I didn’t even care if they gave me medicine or not it was the fact that they didn’t believe me that really bothers me and makes me not ever wanna go back I spent $8500 cash on my tummy tuck and $5400 financed on my lift with implants. After surgery you will see dr Taneja one time then never again unless u have a problem.
