Abdominal & waist liposuction caused excruciating pain

I am writing to warn potential customers / paitients regarding the treatment I received from Dr. Dimitrious Koumanis at Sono Bello New Hyde Park location. I had abdominal and waist liposuction, but what transpired during the procedure was nothing short of a horrific experience. From the beginning of operation, I communicated to Dr. Koumanis that the numbing and pain medication was not effective and that I could still feel the pain of the needle. Despite my clear and repeated indications that the anesthesia was not working, Dr. Koumanis disregarded my distress and continued the procedure with aggressive force. I could feel everything, which caused excruciating pain, I felt as if i was being repeatedly stabbed. This experience was so traumatic that I genuinely feared for my life and thought of the possibility of my daughter losing me. The lack of empathy and professionalism displayed by Dr. Koumanis is unacceptable and has left me in severe pain and distress. No patient should have to endure such an ordeal, especially when entrusting their health and wellbeing to a medical professional. This experience has totally affected my perception of Sono Bello, especially as a first-time client who made a significant financial investment for this procedure. STAY AWAY FROM DR. KOUMANIS
