Dr. Edward Lack (at Metropolitan M.D.) botched a "smart lipo" procedure done to my abdomen area and instead of comforting me or offering to correct it - he turned cold, indifferent and short.
Before the procedure, I was seen quickly and he and staff were courteous. After the procedure - during the months of follow-up visits - it became apparent that he miscalculated the area and things changed. I found I would wait 90 or more minutes just to see him. And when he finally came in, he was distracted and rushed to see the next patient. I told him I had seen another doctor who does "smart lipo" to get a second opinion about the results...and that doctor had said it was obvious Dr. Lack was sloppy - taking areas of fat from some spots and none from others, leaving a lumpy, cottage cheese effect. When I asked Dr. Lack about this, he became irate and said I should have the other doctor "fix it if he was such an expert."
Not the response I was expecting (or hoping for). I expected a little accountability or, at the very least, compassion. I did after all spend $5000 on this. After he yelled at me, he told me I wasn't welcome there anymore.
I would not recommend this "doctor" as it seems money is his main objective.

Thanks so much for sharing your opinion about your doctor.
I would love to add your experience to the Smart Lipo community, but it would be helpful if you could provide some more detail about your experience with your procedure/treatment. I suggest adding pros and cons and/or before and after photos - optional of course, so that other community members can use your review as a guide through their journey.
Looking forward to your response so I can add your review to the Smart Lipo community.

So sorry about your experience - not all doctors are the same. My dad was an MD and he was the most compassionate man I have ever met - some of his patients paid with rabbits, morel mushrooms, etc. - they don't make them like him anymore. Some doctors only care about the money - what they don't understand is if you have no patients, there will be no money. I pray that they will do the right thing by you so you can have a revision done by a caring, considerate PS who takes pride in his work!!!
