Consultation review: Nope! Narcissistic Vibes.

I paid a non refundable $200 dollars for a consultation that was mediocre at best. Dr. Trousdale used a cheap photo phone app to depict what the possible outcome of surgery would be. No state of the art equipment here. I was quoted about 35k for what he recommended (full facelift, neck lipo, fat transfer, buccal fat removal, eyelid surgery.), all which for my age (42) is laughable. Not only that, but the estimate had no written deadline or expiration, which only became an issue after the daily calls from his office manager, Maria, asking if I wanted to book the surgery. After the first 2 weeks of incessant calls, I advised her that I needed to get some personal things in order before I would consider scheduling. She seemed to understand and I didn’t hear back until a few weeks later (less than a month) in which she called and asked if I was ready to book since my estimate was about to expire. I explained again my situation and she stated “oh well, I tried.” She also stated that if I wanted an extension I needed to leave a non refundable 1k deposit to hold the anesthesiologist. I told her I wasn’t quite ready for all that but after I hung up, I realized that I was never told I had a deadline to book so I looked at the paperwork and in fact, there was no deadline. I messaged her about it and after ignoring me for a while, I informed her that I would be leaving a review in regards to this and she quickly called me and tried to retract her rude demeanor. She offered to extend the estimate for another month which I declined. The truth is I didn’t get a good feeling about Dr. Trousdale to begin with. He gave me sociopath & narcissistic vibes. He literally said to me with big crazy eyes, “I was born to do this.” It creeped me out especially since he’s only in his early 30’s. The whole vibe was very pushy cheap car dealership, to me. All they cared was that I booked asap, nothing else. Honestly, I would say, to stay away. He’s all about his social media presence, not truly a professional. Seems like he’s hurting for money & ”closing” clients and just making money off his “consultation fees.”
