I met with Dr. Emer and fell in love with him. I'm currently 20lbs overweight, if that and need a little jump start to my program. Dr. Emer absolutely said I would have amazing results and seemed to be excited to do my procedure. Anyway, I did not leave his office with a quote and was emailed it later that evening. My quote was for $24k, are you kidding me! Ok so now I feel like a train wreck and need a complete overhaul. I began to correspond with his consultant Melissa and asked if that was the best pricing. I explained that it was a little inflated but was still interested in having my procedure with him. I told her we could maybe take a few areas off to get the price down. She told me she would speak with the doctor and get back to me. I informed her I was ready to do this asap. So, I never heard back. In the meantime I met with another doctor and quote that was realistic. I emailed Melissa back to inform that I felt I wasn't a patient worth having since I wasn't willing to pay the original amount quoted and she just never even cared to give me a new quote. I also informed her that I did take my business elsewhere and the doctor I booked with did think I was of a value to have as a patient. I wonder if Dr. Emer will even ever know Melissa cost me $15k. Such a shame because I think he's a great doctor. All she could offer was good luck with your procedure, really? Not even an attempt to offer me a filler or some treatment to keep as a patient for additional procedure....shame on her!

I am sorry you feel this way. You should know that what I care about most is that my patients are happy and get the results they are looking for. Melissa is truly a fantastic coordinator and its a shame that you did not get to see her truly remarkable care of my patients. I am sorry you are upset with our quote and her communication with you. With that said, my prices are the same for everyone I treat. I do not discount my work. I value my exception precision, artistry and skill. I use multiple devices to get the best results for my patients and do liposuction work unlike anyone else in the area. My procedures are not just about fat reduction, they are about sculpting and contouring so that my patients get a better shape/figure, a lifelong body change. I fix surgeries that have gone wrong by other doctors and am cutting edge with every one of the latest technologies for fat removal, harvesting and transfer. I am the only physician in the country that has device companies coming to him for us in surgery and development. I am also extremely meticulous and spend a very significant amount of time with my patients during and after their surgeries. I ensure my patients the top of the line results and customer service. With that said, I wish you the best with your other physician and their care of you. I am so glad you found someone you can trust and feels will make you truly satisfied -- that is what matters the most. I do not do these surgeries for the money at all, I do it for the love of my patients and for the procedure -- my online reviews demonstrate how passionate I am for this field and my before and after photos show amazing results. I wish you the best, Dr. Emer.

As I stated, my impression of you as a doctor was nothing less than amazing. It is the responsibility of your practice to follow up with potential patients. I was not asking for a discount, I asked for a price revision to the original quote. I requested a new pricing with some areas to be left off and was interested in the cost difference, not a discount. That is a big difference. Thank you for your well wishes and much continued success to you.

Melissa from Dr. Emer's office has since reached out to me to apologize. I will say Melissa was truly genuine and heartfelt in her apology for not originally following up with me. I believe this was in the sincerest nature and I appreciate her honest effort to reach out to me. As patients deciding to do this type of procedures, we desire catering to in order to help one through such a vulnerable time. Melissa, thank you for the phone call and handling this In the best professional way. My review was only based on my personal feeling of how I was treated during my experience. As I've continued to state, Dr. Emer is amazing but I've decided with a different doctor and practice that fits my needs.

Sounds like you're a nightmare to me..how did Melissa cost you $15k?! You said you saved money with the new doctor. What a horrible review.
