Provider Review

• 24 Feb 2015

I want to start by saying that I waited to hit my three month post op date because they always repeat to you "You'll see your results at three months".. Well to begin I researched Dr. Yily de los Santos for three years, I followed her read all her reviews but like they say you have to experience it for yourself. I arrived to DR on February 16 was taken to Cipla for Blood work, Xray and met with a Cardiologist. I met with the Dr for like five minutes. It was very busy in her office she had lots of woman waiting to see her. I had submitted my health history with my surgery history before getting my quote. I have lupus and was told via email that ALL I needed was clearance from my specialist. SOOOO I DID MY PART.. Received my clearance from a Cardiologist, Hemotologist, Gastro specialist, and Lupus specialist.. Took all my vitamins and my hemo was 13.5 when I got there. The next day you see an ER Dr and she takes all your intake information and all your clearances if needed. Checks weight and blood pressure. After that you go to speak to Dr Yily, SHE DOES NOT READ ANY CHARTS!!! She asks you what you desire and marks you up and sends you on your way to the operating room.. Had my surgery on Wed. February 17 @10 am. Was seen the next day for the faja fitting and to discuss my Hemo levels after surgery Dr Yily was confident that with my 8.5 Hemo it was ok for discharge and no need for blood transfusion. I was in a lot of pain, didn't eat, couldn't drink, was dizzy. Didn't get any response til Sunday when she visited the recovery house to check up on her other patients, she ended up sending me to Cipla for a blood transfusion after I almost passed out. After that I started getting fevers and chills so she then sent me to an infection specialist which cost 65$ then blood work for 125$ the specialist ask me what medical issues do you have and I told her Lupus so she told me to resume my lupus medication and new antibiotics and I should be good. After ALL that Dra Yily De Los Santos requested me to her office and she had every intentions for me to change my flight and travel home with the drain and accused me of not giving my full medical history before surgery!!!!! Her assistant clipped my drain stitches as if to check for infection but what she was really doing was dismissing me the Dr was very rude and condi sending yelling in front of her staff. Stating to me "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO IF I REFUSE TO TAKE OUT THE DRAIN BEFORE YOU LEAVE. I politely told her that I was scheduled to stay 14 days and I was going to do just that and that she did my surgery and she will take care of me until I go home.. I will keep my drain in as long as I'm there and that she will be taking it out before I leave.. Days go by and no office visits. My drain started to clogg after 11 days with it, I started to get the worst pain ever and the Dr was called.. NO ANSWER!! called her assistant and NO ANSWER!! The young lady from the recovery house removed the drain because I was in so much pain and NO ONE RESPONDED!! I STAYED 14 DAYS AND I DIDN'T HAVE A LAST APPOINTMENT. I had to get angry and demanded my discharge papers, my surgery and breast implant information. I received it from the young lady at the recovery house at 10pm the night before I was coming home.. I am grateful for the ladies in DIAMOND RECOVERY HOUSE they took care of me and made sure I made it back home to my kids... As for Dra Yily De Los Santos and staff VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!! And three months post op I AM NOT FULLY HAPPY WITH MY RESULTS!! MY BREAST AND BBL ARE NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.. NO FOLLOW UP EMAILS OR CALLS.. IT'S LIKE YOU NEVER HAD SURGERY WITH THIS DR.. DRA YILY DE LOS SANTOS...
