Trouble Getting Deposit Back from Cosmetic Surgeon Who Isn't Qualified, What Should I Do?

ash288
In March I was scheduled for a tummy tuck with a cosmetic surgeon (I was told by him that a cosmetic surgeon was just as qualified as a plastic surgeon)I found really bad reviews on him & asked for my deposit back. Since March his receptionist has been back and forth with me. I told them I would complain to Bomex because I went to other plastic surgeons and they told me I don't even have enough skin for a full tummy tuck. I'm not sure how I should deal with this. any advice would be appreciated.
