No Integrity and Enormous Ego

$12,800
I placed all my trust in Dr. Bednar and am now left heartbroken and abandoned by him and his office. I, like everyone else here saw all the glowing reviews and that is the reason why after more than 2 years I am compelled to warn anyone who might also be hurt and put aside. I was told the surgery went great and the initial results were less than promised but we agreed to another round with the hope of better results . VERY shortly after EVERYTHING was gone and I was back to my original size. We spoke at length (although he was very short and clearly irritated that I would even question his work) but the photos don't lie. I asked for the surgery to be done again to achieve the results originally promised and still committed to pay the reduced rate "HE HIMSELF" offered as well as agreed to a another round (3 total) there after at our expense to ensure the results he promised. I just wanted to feel myself again with a semblance of the breasts I had before children. Then out of nowhere I was called and told I was too high of a risk and he would not honor his promise. We again met and plead our case... the issue keeping me from receiving treatment was present but overlooked during the first procedure but for some reason now was to dangerous to overcome. Dr. Bednar said if my specialist was aware of what we wanted and cleared me for the surgery he would honor his word. Money and time was spent and a ABSOLUTE DIAGNOSIS OF FIT FOR SURGERY WITHOUT CONCERN from the leading authority on my issue was given and even an offer for a consult via phone. Dr. Bednar straightly refused after doing everything he himself requested. He told us he would never do the surgery and would no longer speak with us. So now with the surgery and flights, accommodations, visits and clearance from my primary care provider we are out about $20,000 and HE SIMPLY DOES NOT CARE. I expected more from this man and he should be ashamed at how he treated us. My feelings are he simply takes the "easy money" and "low hanging fruit" but does not have the integrity to honor his work when ANYTHING compilates his assembly line approach to making money.

This screams like a disingenuine push off. If there is any authenticity to this statement then I would ask that you reach out to me as I have satisfied every request that your office made to me at my own financial expense as well as time. You promised me if I did all these tasks and the recommendation was given that I was fit for the procedure that you would honor your word. I'll wait by the phone...
