Horrible Surgeon
I saved money that I didn't really have for a very long time to have my procedure done and now I wish I would have never had it at all. I saw Dr. Brian Strand to have liposuction on my upper abdomen, lower abdomen, waist, and hips. I was very adamant about how important it was for me to have my flank area thinned out and my abdomen flattened and I was assured that I would. Dr. Strand never discussed with me the option of an abdominoplasty, which he is now saying is what I needed to have done in the first place. He destroyed the appearance of my abdomen and when I tried to discuss this with him, he was condescending and insensitive, saying to me, "how many liposuction procedures have you done?" When I replied that I only had one, he repeated his question and clarified that he meant how many have I performed. Not only that, each time I saw him he made a point to make comments about my "big bazongas" and made me feel like he was judging the size of my breasts in a very inappropriate and unprofessional manner. I tried to talk with him and ask him if he could at least help fix the appearance of my stomach, which you can see by the photos, is completely botched. He was rude and left the exam room before I was even done asking questions. The unprofessionalism and the multiple comments about my breasts, when I was not addressing my breasts nor did I have any procedure on them was surreal. At my first appointment with him, he went on and on about how large my "bazongas" are and how I am not wearing the right bra size and that I should see a good friend of his who sells bras for a living. The follow up appointment which was today, he made a point to demean me and comment on my "big bazongas" again. Not only did he make disparaging and harassing comments about my breasts, he dismissed my feelings and overall unhappiness with the procedures and he left the room in the middle of my asking questions. I asked why he did not discuss with me that the better option for me was an abdominoplasty and he said, "did you read the consent?" I stated that nowhere in the consent did it discuss better options and as a physician, it is his duty to do that with me prior to the procedure. I also asked him why he did not explain to me that my abdomen could actually look worse afterwards and he said that he could not predict that but when I asked why he didn't even discuss the possibility, he simply stared at me and made a comment about how I was not listening to him. He demeaned me, he botched me, and he does not care that I am so unhappy. He refused to attempt to fix what he destroyed and I am horrified that this is the way a surgeon would behave this way and also not take responsibility for his mistakes in this matter. Furthermore, his comments about my breasts could be viewed as sexual harassment and I will be letting everyone I know about this experience. What a horrible way to treat a patient.
