stay away from dr. vrcek

Upon visiting his office, I was underwhelmed right off the bat by the lack of professionalism in the attire of his staff and the way my check-in was handled. There appeared to be no assistant of any kind and I was brought into the consult room by the front desk assistant and was told to sit down, the Dr. would be in shortly. The consult was so brief, less than 10 minutes and in this time, Dr. Vrcek almost instantly told me I needed a lower blepharoplasty, skin pinch, and under eye chemical peel and proceeded to show me a book of other patients he performed the same or similar procedures on (all who looked nothing like my concerns in their before photos), this came off as much more of a sales pitch than a consult. He conveyed the risks to me as bleeding, scarring, the possibility of another procedure, and 'other'; I reasonably assumed he provided me with the worst case scenario and the 'other' were less serious in nature and did not need direct conveyance. I was quickly whisked out the door and could hear him entering the room of another patient as soon as he left me at the exit door. While I felt uneasy about this process and being presented with a list of procedures and sent on my way in less than 10 minutes, I tried to put my concerns aside and remind myself of his reviews and I proceeded to book his recommended procedures based on the information I was given. As the days went on, I kept thinking about the strange interaction and opted to do my own research on the procedure and found that, while minimal, there is a risk of permanent vision loss. I am not ok with this risk and I would have never booked this procedure had he been forthcoming about this. To not specifically verbalize this risk and discuss it was me was incredibly unethical and deceitful and was done purposefully, with ill-intent; he completely avoided disclosure of this risk and made it sound like the worst that could happen was scarring, bleeding, another procedure. Needless to say, he has opted to keep my $1,000 deposit for a booking that would have NEVER happened had he been honest. He is a greedy, money-hungry salesman who cares nothing about his patients or their well-being, but instead, who he can get to sign up for the next procedure.
