The experience i can share is not about Dr Salama because his team of masseus girls are amazing and caring! The RH was a disaster that week everybody was complaining and unhappy. Grace did absolutly nothing while the other ladys like Luz and 2 other ladies would help out like crazy clean the whole house help us amd cook .. Grace would smoke her cigarette watch tv or be on her phone. If she sees you are a patient who needs more care than another she will not accomadate you. She would never cook we wld have to go ourselfs if the other ladies were not there.. I really had a horrific experience so did the girls in the home that week. If any girl would pist the real experience they had the week of Aug 6 please do so everybody knows what they are getting themselves into or maybe management has changed the RH after these numerous complaints about her!

i had a similar situation …i had a infection in my leg and i was very sick .they would not contact or give me the doctors number even if i was dying and kept trying to convince me that it was all part of the bbl …5 days after i decide to take a cab to the hospital cause none of them would take me and i was hospitalized ,antibiotics ,blood transfusion etc …..i had to get up all the time alone .they thought i was a drama queen complaining for no reason ,had to have my mom call lourdes cause i would cry to her and lourdes would get mad telling me to grow up .i was in the worst pain i have ever felt, and i have had plastic surgery many times including lipo …i have a bunch of other problems going on still!! ..im one month post but waiting a little more time to write my review …i wish i had gone with my mother and been taken care of… better yet not gone at all i regret doing this to myself….. to this day ,im in pain …this women have no clue what they are doing …they are not real nurses ,she kept telling me it was normal ,,,i had low grade fever ,my legs was swollen like a elephant ,color black and blue ,and i was pale like a ghost even the people at the hospital were in shock that she didnt see the signs that i was very ill ….god knows what had happen to me if i didnt leave and go to hospital .i was not fed one night, i was so out of it she kept popping percocet in my mouth to numb my pain and it was hard for me to get out of bed ,the garments are washed together ,this is so unsanitary .i was with no garment a whole day waiting for it to be washed and they finally gave me someones, i didnt care at that point ….save your money ladies ,hire someone ..dont go alone like i did .biggest mistake of my life….you pay all this money thinking you are safe if anything happens ,well no you are not! …..i was not and im sure im not the first one .

Wow. That must have been a bad week at the RH! I'm surprised because i had the complete opposite experience. Homie or the other nurses didn't come to the RH? When I was there they visited at least two times to check in on the gals that were in recovery. And what did Dr. Salama say during your post-op visit? I was at the RH ten days and I went to the MD office at least 5x during that period. Really sorry you had that experience because the recovery is hard enough and the support and care is needed so badly. How are you feeling anyways and are you happy with your results?

Dr salama is great .. He's just very busy and his staff takes over .. It would be great to contact him as soon as problems happen .. Then a lot of complications can be avoided .. Some people just don't heal the same and need more help , attention than others .. I like my results .

Wow.!!! I stayed at the recovery house as well for 6 days and I didn't see anything like that going on. Nomie visited every time there was a new patient brought in and Grace and Lourdes were very sweet and helpful. They helped me move around, made sure I took my meds in time, fed me 3 meals a day, helped me shower, and gave me moral support. They were like that with all the girls. I could barely eat for 3 days after my tummy tuck and gad really bad acid reflux that felt like I was having really bad chest pains, Grace gave Me Dr. Salama's personal cell phone number so I could call him. She sat with me and made sure I called him, and he responded phone quickly. Sorry you went through that .

I would let them know about the experience you had. It's a shame cause while i was there it was great. Like everything else, you have the good with the bad. Seems that week was not good. How are you otherwise with your recovery and are you happy with your surgery results?

Wow. I am totally shocked. I stayd there twice and never ever had a problem with Grace or the house in general. And Nomie would come almost every day. Sorry for your experience ( both of you).....but it really sounds off. Did you address Nomie about any of this?

Wait. They allow smoking at the RH? That's not cool.

I know they smoke outside, not in the house. And they always washed their hands before they touched me...I asked them to.

Still. What if a patient wanted to go outside for fresh air? I wouldn't be ok with that.

You have a valid point. I guess I was feeling too tired during recovery to care. One thing I do know from meeting the variety of personalities there is that you can't please everyone. I do know that from my experience Grace was very good to me, although Lourdes leaves much to be desired. I noticed that if she gets attitude from a client, she doesn't do her utmost and can have an attitude in return. She actually got into trouble last time I was there. As for fresh air, Grace was good about putting it out if one of us wanted to be out back.

I am sorry I am not so good with realself! But no if they see tou complain because u r weaker than the rest they do not help u well Grace. Then she reports to Nomie and all so they think ur the problem. I have written them an email when i got back home about the servicd and they never even replied. After all that money they didnt even reply. I wish i would have stayed in my home town to donit or nothing at all. When it was time to remove my drains, Nomie came to the home and removed my front ones wich i thought were infected. She saw them and said ; one of them was sown backwards! i was so sad and of course that drain now is as big as a 5 cents but purple. I do understand its healing but its quite big.
