If you’re considering Miami Life Plastic Surgery with Dr. James McAdoo, RUN LIKE HELL and don’t look back! This was the most horrifying and appalling experience of my life. The clinic not only showed complete unprofessionalism but also held us hostage when we wanted to leave after arguing for hours over their last-minute price gouging.
Despite having already paid thousands and preparing for this surgery, including pre-op blood work, medications, travel expenses, and accommodations, they canceled my surgery just hours before it was scheduled. The reason? They added hidden fees at the last minute and refused to honor the agreed-upon price. When I questioned this, instead of resolving the issue, they flat-out canceled.
What made it worse was that when we decided to leave, the staff wouldn’t let us go. They told us we had to stay for additional paperwork, even though the surgery was canceled. We were stuck there for over four hours, hungry, tired, and frustrated, as they stonewalled us and refused to let us leave. This level of control and disregard for patients is unacceptable and felt like a hostage situation.
The clinic itself is a disaster. The waiting room smelled horrible, like rotting flesh, and post-surgical patients were sitting there visibly leaking blood and fluids onto the chairs. It was unsanitary and outright dangerous. The staff was rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful, treating me like an inconvenience rather than a paying patient.
I am out of pocket for non-refundable travel, hotel expenses, pre-op blood work, and medications. While they refunded the surgery fee, it does nothing to cover the financial and emotional toll of this nightmare.
This clinic and Dr. James McAdoo care more about money than patient safety or dignity. Their unprofessionalism, lack of transparency, and unsafe practices are beyond appalling. Avoid this place at all costs. There are far better and safer options elsewhere.
