Unprofessional & Problematic
neruda123April 15, 2021
I booked a consultation for inner thigh liposuction with Dr. Reish. When booking the consultation, his staff informed me he is only doing video consults (not in person) at the moment, and if I moved forward following the consultation I would not see Dr. Reish until the day of the surgery. I didn't love this approach but went ahead and booked the consultation for his first availability, which was over a month out. After waiting over a month, 2 days before the consultation his staff called and told me the liposuction would cost at a minimum $9k. I asked what that cost breakdown (i.e. anesthesia, surgical suite, etc.) was because when I booked the consultation they originally quoted me $6k. They were unable to provide the breakdown but I nonetheless wanted to proceed with the consultation. The following day, less than 24 hours prior to the video consultation, his staff called again and told me Dr. Reish would not do just the thigh liposuction, he would only be willing to do a thigh lift and liposuction. I explained that I do not need a thigh lift (I am in my 20s and healthy), and he clearly had never seen me so I did not understand why the additional surgery was now mandatory. It clearly was not being recommended based on need. I am assuming it was motivated by profit margins. In addition, how this was brought up less than 24 hours prior to the consultation when I had been waiting for the consultation for over a month was completely unprofessional. I would have moved forward with another provider already if I had not been waiting for the consultation with Dr. Reish. I am severely disappointed with the lack of professionalism. I hope others do not have their time wasted in a similar manner, and are not made to get additional unnecessary procedures without explanation.
