Ok, so after being on here day and night for the last month.... I finally choose to go with Dr Fischer from Vanity because his work is amazing! I called the office today and I asked if I could email pictures and get a quote and I was given Leomarlys as my coordinator. She tells me the cost would be $5,500 & that would include 12 areas of Lipo, ok all that sounds good but then she tells me I would have to pay cash because the only credit card they accept is American Express??? Huh has anyone else heard of this? I really wanted to pay by Visa or MC, also she then advised me it would be $1000 deposit with complete balance paid two weeks prior to procedure....I ask her shouldn't we confirm that the Dr has the date available that I need? She then says oh yeah let me check hat for you....plz any advise would be great, the info she was giving me just doesn't sound right.....thanks again in advance.

Hi, I've been in contact with Dr. Fishers office also. I spoke with them earlier in the week & was told that the soonest appointment would be in September. You have to pay the 1000 deposit before they confirm the date. The office is a little disorganized & that's what's turning me off.

I feel the same....I have to request vacation time so I can't play around with my dates.....I just never heard of a Dr not taking credit cards for payment

Hi, I talked to them yesterday, i was really thinking about changing doctors but when I talked to them yesterday, i felt very rushed, it almost like i was talking to a bill collector. I couldn't lock in my date without making a 1000 deposit however, my pics had not been evaluated by Dr fisher and I had not received a quote as I previously suggested.. personally, I'm a person that needs great customer service n i think there office is very unorganized therefore I will stick with the first doctor I had picked. Good luck on your journey

@mimi6568 I need to request time off of work also & that's why I need the dates. They wouldn't give me a straight answer about if the dr can sign my paperwork to take the days off. I also wanted to put the deposit on my credit card. I was approved for care credit and I thought about using that also. Dr. Fisher is very qualified and I like his work. But his staff needs much improvement. Let me know when your aiming to go. I can't find a recovery house that fits me either.

Yes- I had a bad experience with Vanity for Dr. McAdoo. 4 different girls called me and the price kept changing. Yesterday the girl told me that "out of courtesy" her boss lowered my lipo fee to 4k instead of 5 k and then tried to tell me with there was a 500 dollar "financing" charge and was I aware of that?

I told the girl 3 times that I was going with the other center and she still kept trying to rush me telling me she needed a decision RIGHT AWAY because she was getting ready to go HOME? Seriously? When I asked to see pics of Mcadoos lipo work ( I don't want the BBL- his specialty) she sent me these furtive random pics- that could have been of anyone and any stock photo. She reached out to me AGAIN this morning telling me that I could have more time today to make my decision and I told her AGAIN that I was going with the other center. They must make commission on each new patient. The whole feel of it was sleazy and sketchy.

I'm going to fisher as well. I'm in the process of paying them. I'm almost done. I had to get the cash and then deposit into their bank of America account. Then I would screen shot the receipt and send it to my coordinator's email (shirley). I would tell her to email me an updated invoice. And she did. Now about booking ur date, that's a little different. The only way u can book your date is after you pay your $1000 deposit. N they may not have the date u want b/c ppl from all over come to vanity for this precedure. I wanted April but I ended up with July 8.

U could also make a review asking some1 if they want to switch dates

I did the same thing as well with my down payment to their account with my us bank debit card. Not sure why they're telling u they only take American Express or cash. Good luck!

mimi6568
Yikes....I when ahead and paid the deposit so I could secure my surgery date of Sept. 6 with Dr Fisher, my coordinator verified the deposit and quickly sent me a confirmation email with my surgery date & a list of items I would need to buy prior to the surgery also pre & post op directions. I'm just hoping all goes well and they keep there end of the bargain, cuz we all know how crazy they are at Vanity....lol
I will keep you all posted and I will post photos closer to my surgery date. One thing I will add is that Dr Fisher asked that I gain 10lbs....what I'm trying to get rid of this hot mess....but I will do as told. I'm 5'6 148 lbs.... Well that's all for now my lovies.

SO mad at Vanity!!!!!

mimi6568
I know this won't be surprising to many dolls on here, but Vanity Cosmetics just called me to CXL my 09/6/16 surgery with Dr Fisher, "they stated he will be in a conference"...really!!!! I paid a $1000 deposit via Bank wire on 04/08/16....now I'm told it will take 4-6 weeks to receive my refund , I asked why so long when you were so quick to take my payment, Leomarlys from Vanity then told me she would email me the link for the required refund paperwork. I receive am email that stated here is the email address and you can request your refund here???? no info nothing to fill out just an email address, I can't believe this place, lesson learned for real!!! Please dolls if anyone can chime in and help me with this refund process I will really appreciate it I'm so bummed, I was looking forward to this surgery for almost 1 year already ..smh...so sad :-(
