Don Groot, MD (retired)

I regret setting foot in the office of Dr Groot. His precision with the laser is not the greatest which in turn left me with a permanent flaw that I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life. I've given it adequate time to heal and followed his post-op instructions. It's been a nightmare from the start dealing with him and dealing with the end-result of the procedure he'd performed. Dr Groot was at times condescending, patronizing and arrogant. I paid for this procedure and invested a fair chunk of money trying to find a solution to his mistake. But it's not fixable. It's one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made when I set foot in his office for a consult. It looked OK in the beginning, it really didn't need any work. If he had told me to leave it alone, I would've left it alone. But he made it sound like it was a simple procedure and he didn't go over with me on ALL the possible outcomes if this procedure failed. Now I spend a lot of time trying to cover it up and feeling really self-conscious about it every time I'm in public. Do yourself a favour, reconsider and get a second or third opinion before going ahead with any procedures performed by Dr Groot.
