Still waiting on Dr Cortes to do the right thing.... Stay tuned in

UPDATED FROM Wannab2cute

A year later

$8,511

Still trying to contact him. The facts are simple and not even Dr Cortes can deny. My paperwork does NOT mention anything about NO refunds. I paid my deposit and made payments on my surgery totaling 2100. The surgery was never done I want my money minus the non refundable 500. Dr Cortes owes me 1600 and he refuses my phone calls, certified letters and wont answer emails.
I will continue EVERY CHANCE I GET to tell EVERYONE who will listen how you have treated me until the day you make this right!

Side note he has undated his paperwork shortly after I requested my refund

PROFILE

ok below was my original post.... now I'm just flaming mad because the office refused a certified letter I sent, refused to answer emails or text. How could anyone expect to go through a surgery with full confidence when I cant even get in touch with them PRE surgery. Dr Cortes was very genuine. He seemed to care about my wants and concerns. He patiently answered all my questions and I had A LOT. I've followed several of his patients and I think his work speaks for itself. After following current patients I see he gives each person what they want as long as you are realistic. I also like that his before/after pics show real results due to him taking them once most swelling has gone down.

Wow I'm so sorry you had to go through this, this doctor is definitely shady and I hope people read your review . I hope everything works out for you.
WOW
Sheesh. I've been bummed about losing out on my $500 but your ordeal is so much worse. I love you for not backing down. I do hope you get your money back
Take him to court and file charges. As long as you got your paperwork and keeping a written journal with all logs and date to a judge in any court room that is considered legal documentation. Print out all these post and any comments back from his office on here and file charges and take him to court sue him for more than 1600 court cost and pain and suffering for everything else you went through and I am sorry you are going through this.

You should have went with your first instinct. Why didn't you do your research first? This site is here for a reason. Sigh... Wish you the best, next time check out places sorta like shopping around for insurance ask questions before paying anyone any money. Good luck

I'm sorry I didn't mean to say it like shopping for insurance. I meant make sure it feels right do your research on the potential doctors, read everything they give you, make sure you got copies of everything if not the original documents. Make sure it's signed. Hope you understand what I meant to say.

Karma

Dr Cortes disgust me. So you BLOCK my number? Your whole argument is that you keep my money and give me the option to reschedule. Yet you Blocked my number. You are lower than low.
Do bad and it comes back to you....

Im so thankful for people like you who post their experiences whether good or bad. This allows me to determine what surgeons I write down as a possibility or take off my list of possibilities. At one point this doctor was on my list, but he has been taken off due to reviews like yours! Thank you for posting!
i don't understand how anyone thinks he is a good choice.
Have you gotten an attorney? Maybe gone in person to his office?
I don't live in the same state
You don't have to live in the same state, you can still go for legal action.
Wow, haven't been on in a while but I'm so sorry to hear about what's going on. I definitely hope you get your money. Smh
they refuse to answer my calls to the office. they refuse certified mail. ignore text and emails and have me blocked from dr cortes direct line.
OMG! I'm so scare now after all these negative reviews on him! My surgery is next month and I'm afraid that he will not give me what I want! I was told to gain weight but i can't get the weight on and the few that ive gained can't keep on! I already paid my 30% if I can't gain the weight I want my money back! Hope your situation resolves! Hopefully I'll get mine if I can't get it done!
girl please you will NOT be getting your money back.... hope that helps your decision

I'm sorry this happen to you. I had a TT with BR and they have been very helpful I never had any problems getting them either phone or text I use both. I was told up front about the 500 non refundable also I was told that if I cancel I would get 30% of my money back. But if you paid for a service it should be render. I still love cortes work and any dolls out there that are considering or has a date don't be discourage.
The comment above (sexy_tummy) seems like another fake profile that Dr.Cortes office makes. I am not positive if it is of course but I do know they make fake deceiving profiles, just pathetic and ridiculous
Well just so you"ll know it's not a fake profile what reason I have to get on here and lie if he and his staff did me right why does the profile have to be fake some of you ladies on here are very negative.
Wasn't horrible to me cause I got what ask for and I'm happy ... I have heard complaints about so many PS on here but soon as you get a good review oh it's fake.. Unbelievable I'm not going to entertain it oh she don't like him so I'm not going to like him it's life people that's with anything you may like a certain restaurant but I went there service was bad same thing lets keep it real .. I'm not being funny I just want you all to understand he did me right and my profile is not by staff I'm person just got my work done 3wks ago
I am in the same boat my service was good Dr. Cortes changed my surgery to a panniculectomy a week before my surgery if I chose not to go the procedure he himself called me offered me a full refund or I could pay for my new procedure then refund what's left I said no credit to my upcoming bbl/ thigh lift so that's what he did I got called on a Sunday !! When I got off work he did it on my terms not his
I think that profile just dissappeared. Was there any pics or anything on it? Its blank when i pull it up.
Glad everything workedout for you I love his work and staff was very pleasant
Yes it blank when I get ready to add my pics I will... #donthaveprovenothing ma'am .. You good tho carry on!!
SO tell me again why you are on my page? Did I call you out personally as a fake? Did you even read my review. I have never asked for the 500 back. I am asking for what was paid over that since I did not have the surgery. You keep saying your not entertaining this but you are still here. Bye Felicia
Im glad that you are happy with your results. I never said he messed up on everybody. This is my story and I will tell everyone who listens to do your research. What he did to me is WRONG
I can total understand FRUSTRATIONS on here about a PS that didn't do what you opt for or just Fail to do.. but don't lash or beat up the person that was done right .. That's something like being a HATER ijs! I will never disrespect anyone on here because I'm a woman before anything ..I wish all you the best at your goals. Good day! Now Carry on!!
Sorry but it is not hating. His office has had fake profiles in the past that either do not post pictures or only post pics that were taken in his office just so they can praise him. So please understand why anyone would question your profile. I am sure we all think that if someone is so proud of his work they would flaunt it. So happy for you that you got what you paid for! Not everyone was that lucky to not have their money go to waste.
Agreed!!
I don't think anyone was lashing out, disrespecting, or "beating up" anyone (Dr. Cortes and his office do enough of that to a lot of their patients already, obviously). Their office just does make a lot of fake profiles that are deceiving. Just like if someone says their profile is not fake does not mean it is not lol. Not hating just observing is all. Best wishes to you!
I don't know how to determain a fake profile because every PS on here according to people if positive feed back it's fake or no pic . Ijs. I just like to read peoples journey's to there goals and acomplishments and sometimes the bad comes with it.
No one is bashing the girls with good results, you're insane. What, we cant speak out and be pissed after spending 10k on a shitty job done on the surgery table? There's good and theres bad, youll notice this when you read my profile and notice what a positive person i WAS until surgery made me feel like total S**T.
U could not agree with you more SarahElle. I am in the same boat!
Okay it's ok to voice your opinion but like I said I don't disrespect anyone on here so you can gone on with that insane BS !! Trick!!! And if you read the comment I wrote before these you'll see they where saying my page was fake bash me cause I had good feed bk job was good now !!I'm done tlkn abt this BS with u anyways sorry your PS didn't do right.. Carry on!
So sorry you are going through troubles. Take a look at my profile. I'm not so happy either. Any updates?
Sexy Tummy if you are not a fake profile then youre a nasty little piece of works with no compassion. Stop interfering in this post. We know you are happy with you alleged surgery. Away you go now.
