Overall rating

I actually got three procedures lower face lift, breast augmentation and abdominoplasty. I can elaborate on this more later but my experience with this doctor was not good nor was the quality of his work. I unfortunately had several surgeries done by him and each one had to be corrected several times with not a great outcome. During each surgery he went off the game plan  and caused me more scarring then was even discussed.  During an abdominoplasty,  he cut directly up through  my stomach rather than a cross.  That was never discussed at all.  Now I can't even wear  a bikini because rather than the scar going just below the bikini line it goes straight up  to my belly button.  That was something never even mentioned at all. Not only that it buckled and had to be revised even higher.  It's not like I was obese...  I weigh only  98 pounds. I had no stretch marks , it was just a bit of extra skin so totally unnecessary.  And I had not given my permission to do that. I should have stopped while I was ahead but I was in too far and did not have an alternative. I in fact asked for one of his associate to do the corrective work but they would not allow that to be done. One of the times he was doing the corrective work on a lower facelift that I had done, he did not even come into the room beforehand that morning of the surgery and cut all the way up into my head completely yet again without my permission. It was an absolute Trainwreck. Afterward he blamed the poor healing on my body rather than his shoddy work. Now I have even more scarring and patches of balding. If you check other reviews on this particular procedure in other places, you will see that other people have said the same thing. I also had to have my right breast redone 3 times by hand because the implant slipped all the way down. The left breast has the implant poking through at the bottom part. He again said that was a product of the way that my body heals. Every time I questioned him about these things he would start drawing diagrams to try and confuse me as if I was not intelligent enough to understand normal language. I own my own company and am an intelligent woman. That seemed to be offensive to him in itself. At the end of the day, he wrote me a letter telling me that I was no longer welcome there, simply because he was afraid I was going to sue him in short. I certainly had enough hardcore evidence to. My entire body LOL! He also made up lies about the conversation we had even though I had asked a third party to come in and listen to the conversation. The third party worked there so of course they would be biased towards him. That said  the person in the room never really backed him on his lies in the letter he gave me.  He was full of crap. The things he made up we're absolutely absurd. It didn't even make sense at all!  He is a complete  fabricating liar. I admit to losing complete control of my emotions well in there and even using curse words when I realized upon him taking the bandages off my head that he had totally butchered up into my head yet again without permission. Totally owned on my part. But he was pointing to different parts of my body and then telling me how this part and that part comma which had nothing to do with the surgery, was evidence as to why my body might not heal right. Those things had nothing to do with any of the things he himself had done to me. His bedside manner is completely awful, him taking responsibility for his poor surgical practice was absurd, and his technique is awful. Please consider another doctor in this practice just not him.
