Not Worth It
Spent: $8,700 in Beverly Hills, CA

I went to his office because the website made it seem like it would be a little less stressful than many of the other facilities.

The thing i notices about the site was that there was a meet the team section and in that section it stated that everyone on his staff had some sort of procedure.

When I arrived, I said hi to the young lady behind the desk and stated "I think I remember seeing your picture on the computer", she looked at me with a baffled look and of course I felt like an idiot.

I then requested for female assistants to help me get dressed after the procedure, as I am quite modest and I was told that this was not possible.

After it was explained to me that I "wasn't the first and wont be the last...." I was asked to sit in the lobby and decide if I wanted the procedure done. Recognize at this point I have been asked to sign a credit card receipt, asked to complete forms, but still have had the opportunity to speak with the Dr.

After about 3 minutes, The PA came out and without even asking me what I decided, informed me that they were going to refund my money and "let's call this a day"

Don't let the light hearted video or the website fool you-----you, you are a number. We all have special needs that is what makes us individuals, go to a doctor that understands this, and avoid

This site requires me to put in a dollar amount, please note that my deposit of $8700 was refunded.

Maybe they thought you were not a good candidate for the procedure? Maybe it's better that a facility asks you to leave instead of performing a procedure to someone who does not need it. I'm looking at this incident positively because it shows the facility is not just after money. Please comment if I interpreted your story wrongfully. Thank you

Liposculpture is not for everyone, but there are many terrible facilities. Mine is scheduled in December. The Doctor I went to is also an internal physician and weight loss specialist. Her team does include RN's. Most other facilities I have visited have "consultants" reviewing information with you. The "consultants" then "decide" if you are a good candidate. Honestly, I do not think you should not have it done because you went to a shady facility. Maybe you should try another facility.

It's a really good thing you left that place! Dr. Alan Bittner's office is now shut down! It turns out he was a fraud and performed awful surgery on many woman. Well actually his "assistants/interns" did, he never even perfomred the surgery himself! You could have been a nightmare story like others. Let's just say that God was on your side that day and your instincts might have saved you that day!

I am one of those nightmare stories. Abdomen I'd wavy and looks rediculous. I filed complaint with care credit and they reversed the $4400 charge. However I am out the $1500 I paid in cash.
