Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

i almost died from a bbl

i saw bad reviews but i ignored them because i liked what i saw on his instagram page. i got 360 lipo + arm & thigh lipo + breast augmentation. so starting at my consultation it was a mess. he was so rushed and didn’t listen to any of my concerns. he doesn’t look at wish pics or he won’t listen to what you want he will just do what he wants. he told me he wouldn’t lipo every where i wanted because it is to much surgery at once so he wasn’t going to lipo my legs. i was like okay cool whatever you think is safe i believe you. i asked him for 800cc breast implants and he told me he didn’t have them on hand and it would takes weeks to order them. i was so upset i started crying because why wouldn’t he tell me before i flew all the way to dominican. i also asked for my BA to be over the muscle. so tell me how i come out of surgery and my entire body is hyperventilating and shaking uncontrollably and my body and face are BLUE ! my mom took videos. i reach down and notice he DID lipo my legs and my breast are UNDER the muscle and the implants are waaaaay smaller than we talked about ??? i start passing out after surgery and they give me a blood transfusion and send me to the recovery house. everyday for 6 days i am passing out and hyperventilating. they keep telling me it’s normal. on the 5 day i knew i was starting to die. i was losing my vision & my hearing & i couldnt walk or get out of bed. i told them i need to see a doctor. they take me to the clinic and try to take my blood to see my hemo but no blood was coming out they send me back to the recovery house. that night i started to get a warm rush in my body like a warm wave every time i shut my eyes. i knew i was dying. i told them take me back to the hospital & they said they’d take me in the morning. in the morning i was so weak they had to carry me with a chair to the car. i got to the hospital they took my blood and told me to go to the ICU immediately. i was so weak i was in a wheel chair & the dr assistant yelled at me and said you can’t be lazy you have to walk or you’ll get blood clots i explained how i felt and she pulled me out of the wheel chair & i ended up walking to the elevator. i got to the icu and the nurses were freaking out and told me i have to lay down immediately. they kept asking me if i was okay and i said NO i haven’t been okay for the last 6 days !!! they but me in a bed and told me my hemo was a 5 i googled what that meant and it said MORTALITY! (my hemo was as 13.7 before surgery) the lady that yelled at me ended up apologizing to me saying she can’t believe i was able to walk with a hemo of 5. i asked them what’s goin to happen and they said we don’t have your blood type & this is getting scary. so i was in the icu for 8 hours dying coming in and out of passing out waiting for my blood. they wouldn’t allow my mom to be in the icu with me which made me even more scared. i ended up needing 3 more blood transfusions. so they is a total of 4 liters of blood i needed in 6 days. that is not normal. now i have ptsd because i had a near death experience. he is not a good doctor he doesn’t care about your health or if you die he only cares about your results. i had two friends come with me to get work done by him too. my one friend ended up with two infections and the recovery house nurses lied saying it wasnt an infection even tho green puss was coming out or her lipo holes. she went home early to go to a real hospital and yes it was an indeed an infection. she ended up having crazy tummy pains and it turns out he gave her another infection in her stomach from such aggressive lipo. my other friend didn’t want a bbl she just wanted lipo. tell me how she woke up from surgery with a BBL!! she was like what the **** doctor why did you make my ass bigger i just wanted lipo and he told her i fixed your butt you’re welcome ! just like my boob job he does whatever he wants despite what you ask for. another thing that really bugged me. i asked him to delete my pictures he post of my naked body on his instagram and my pictures he screen shotted from my instagram that has MY FACE in it that he NEVER asked me if it was okay to use my pictures on his instagram page. i told him to delete them and he blocked me on instagram and whatsapp so now i have no way of contacting him even if i need post op care. DO NOT GET SURGERY WITH HIM. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT MONEY!! it’s not worth dying over. it was the worst experience of my life. i am traumatized. i can’t believe he treated me like my life was nothing.
