Will Not Listen to You

I went into see Dr. Kumar for my first time receiving Botox in my forehead (I am 30 years old for context). I explained at great length to Dr. Kumar that I did not want to have a frozen face, that I wanted to still have some movement in my my forehead and that I would be most comfortable with starting with less and adding more later. However, Dr. Kumar continuously kept shoving his little laminated chart in my face assuring me that 35 units in my forehead was absolutely the minimum and that I would even want more. I was very hesitant and told him that I think my friend got much less than 35 units. He then proceeded to pull up her MEDICAL RECORDS and show them to me. Later my friend revealed that she specifically did not sign a public release form. Pretty sure that’s illegal? Needless to say Kumar pressured me into getting the 35 units. He also will pressure you into getting Dysport rather than Botox because he obviously has some kind of deal with the company. Cut to 5 days later: my forehead is SO frozen I cannot move my face AT ALL. I can only move the outter corners of my eyebrows and I literally look like Jack Nicholson’s daughter. Dr. Kumar didn’t listen to my needs AT ALL and it was obviously just a money grab (500 bucks just to wear a toque for the next three months). He told me in the consultation to email him with my concerns. So I did. I emailed stating how unhappy I was with his services and received No response. That was 10 days ago now. However, I have received their automated “please review us!” Emails. So here ya go, buddy! After calling around and chatting with other companies about how many units to start with in your forehead they were all SHOCKED when I told them how many Dr. Kumar gave me. I would not recommend this company, you are just a cash cow, and they want to get you in and out and spending as much money as possible, they will not listen to you know or give a crap about what you’re looking for. Also, they charge an exorbitant amount for what they offer. To sum up, I felt unheard and I trusted Dr. Kumar with something very vulnerable and he took advantage of it. He also continually was patting and stroking my arm in an inappropriate and unprofessional manner that made me feel very uncomfortable. There are other companies in town that offer these services that will actually make you feel like a human, for a quarter of the cost. Go somewhere else. Avoid.
