How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I just wanted to share my recent experience as i have very mixed feelings about it ,i am reluctant to share the doctors details as i am still coming to terms with a few things,i live in Australia and was recommended this doctor by a friend who had a great experience .
i contacted doctor enquiring about face lift and prices and availability,i originally wanted just my jowls addressed so lower face lift i sent pics to doctor recommended lower mid face lift and neck lift,i also asked him about hair line lowering and rhinoplasty ,i spoke with my husband and we agreed to lower and mid facelift without neck and hairline lowering at a cost of approx $ 8500 AUD and Dr was advised of our decision .
in between booking it i lost my job after 8 years and was made redundant so all we could afford was mid and lower face lift at a cost of $6000 AUD,when we arrived in the country we drove straight from airport to consultation,when we met Dr he shook my husbands hand and ignored me ,we explained to him that we would be going ahead with lower and mid lift and he said to us if i had on known you weren't getting the neck lift i would have told you to stay in Australia and that he wouldn't do half a job and offered to do the neck for free as his reputation was on the line as we had flown all that way,i really didn't want neck lift but we agreeded as we wanted to go ahead with mid and lower facelift so really was left with no choice,surgery was booked for 8AM next morning.
we arrived on time and once again Dr addressed my husband not me,through out twilight 3 hour procedure i would guess i was aware of 85% percent of it ,not in pain just tugging,my arms were the most pain as the way they were positioned but i tried to positioned them more comfortably but he told me off for moving ,so i put up with the pain,half way through the op i felt my air being cut off in my throat and i panicked and said out aloud i cant breath and instantly the feeling went away.
in recovery i said to nurse who was present through out operation did i say i couldn't breath and she said yes i said why what happened,she said Dr took a picture half way through operation of the neck lift and had put a piece of metal on your throat to hold your neck up to get a better picture( i think this was disgusting act to do as he had taken pictures before operation and at every appointment after operation and i have never in my life before felt the fear of not being able to breath and thought i was going to die.
i had a total of 3 follow up appointment with him after operation on every occasion he addressed my husband not me on the 2nd last appointment he said ill see you next week to take stitches out ,sick of being ignored i spoke up and said we fly out next Wednesday so what day,he looked at me and said i don't know you work it out!
i was mortified and so angry,i still paid him $6000 of my hard earned money and if this was the treatment i get for throwing in a free neck lift i never wanted in the first place then he should be ashamed ,apart from that i am happy with what he has done and it has given my confidence back i still want to get the other procedures done but there is no way ill ever go back to him as his treatment of me as a woman was atrocious !
