Ladies, DO NOT LET THEM RUSH YOU!
Ask questions !!
1. What are the doctors qualifications? Is he Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?2. Ask why are prices less expensive ?
3. What are the potential risks and complications?
4. Does he have Malpractice insurance?
5. Will the doctor be available if you have complications ?
6. Where/When/What time will the surgery take place?
7. If something goes wrong and you need to be admitted to a hospital will they HELP YOU?
8. Does the Doctor check up on his patients after surgery ??Surgery was scheduled for April 16, 2015 a few days before I received a phone call from the office saying that my surgery was rescheduled to 4/15/2015 of course, I upset due to the fact that I was flying on the 4/15. On the 15 of April, I waited about 3 hours before I met Dr. Omulepu he was pleasant but was rushing around.
Week 1- First week was unpleasant, the pain was horrible !!
Week 2- After six days in Miami I flew back home.... lots of pain
Week 3- Headaches and some pain - Called Omulepu to ask about about the headaches, front desk said it was part of the healing process.
Week 4- Headaches continue for a whole week - Again I called the office to speak with Omulepu - He was not available and I was told he would get back to me - No return calls
Week 5- Constant headaches, nausea, and fatigue- I developed lumps on my left cheek
HELLO INFECTION - Again I called the office and Omulepu was not available...After 3 weeks of calling he finally called me back on 5/19/2015 @ 10:00pm LITTLE TO LATE, I had an infection already so he called in for some antibiotics. On Friday I texted Omulepu that the pain was horrible and I would be visiting the emergency room soon. NO TEXT BACK
Week 6- Hospitalized

Make sure the next doctor is board certified and he/she has malpractice insurance- mistake happen
June 1, 2015
I know that's right
June 2, 2015
Ladies, educating ourselves is the best thing we can do. There's several ways staph infections can be acquired that's no fault of the doctor. Im only saying this because going to a board certified ps w/malpractice insurance is no guarantee it wont happen to you. I learned of Dr Osak like most of you, on RS. Im scheduled w/him in July & im very concernd based on the recent uptick of infections in his patients. Yes, i have seriously considered not going but I'm not one to overreact too soon. I work for an Infectious Disease doc in both a hospital & clinic setting. I know all too well that [RS bleep] happens that's outside the control of both patients & doctors. Honestly, I'm more appalled at Dr O's lack of communication w/his hospitalized patients than I am w/the infection situation itself. As for as HIV testing, that's really not important because EVERY precaution should be taken with EVERY patient as if everyone is HIV positive. It's called Universal Precautions. Also, if a person is recently infected w/HIV they could still test negative until their body produce enought antibodies for detection. That could take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month or 2 ftom the day they became infected. So a person can still test negative for up to 2 months right after becoming infected. Education is our BEST defense. Praying for all those ladies who acquired the infection & wishing thme a speedy recovery!!
June 2, 2015
I'm Also Scheduled for July 2nd to Be Exact But I'm going to Cancel I Know There's Always precautions that Come With Surgeries that's understandable But 3 within 2 to Three Months is A Huge Concern

Very well said! I had my sx with Dr O on may 18th. I got all nervous and scared of some pain that i was having in my lower back area. Turns out it was just part of the healing process and Im just fine now and no pain (still sore and taking it easy). I wish you the best in your future decisions....

I somewhat agree with you, but after this situation I rather work with a borad certified plastic surgeon that has malpractice insurance. Doctors are humans that make mistakes just like everyone else. His lack of communication with his patients that are hospitalized demonstrates so much. He does not care ... I've been in the hospital for ten days and still no calls. Best of luck Des

Are you starting to feel better?she had the same issue with only lipo.http://www.realself.com/user/1079663
June 2, 2015
I TOTALLY agree! My comment was not meant to persuade or dissuade any of Dr Osak's future patients. That's a personal decision. It was just an attempt to inform & educate. I sincerely wish you & all the ladies a successful surgery & recovery regardless of your choice of doctor. Be blessed!
June 2, 2015
My heart goes out to you & I am following your journey. I agree that a doc that hasnt been in contact w/his pt is irresponsible to say the least. I also agree that one should work w/a board certified ps w/malparctic ins. My only point was...that does not guarantee a certain outcome. I just didn't want us ladies to get comfortable or a false sense of security by assuming it won't happen to them bc their ps is board certified & have malpractice ins. The best way to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else is not to just put him on blast hoping some ladies will run the other way, but to contact the state dept of health in the jurisdiction the facility reside & report it. If all ladies affected do this, then perhaps that's enough cause for an inspection of the facility & of the doctor. If negligence is found this could be a way to shut them down. That's kinda how it works in my state. Stay strong!!

Thats how it works in the state of florida too. That's what you ladies should do. I totally agree with all you have said sunshyyne. I really hope this doesn't continue to happen. It's just crazy to put ppls live at risk. I'm sure it's not his fault but the staffs fault. The ladies involved should call victor and evelyn and explani what you ladies have been going thru. They are the head of spectrum

June 2, 2015
it's not him it's the staff that supposed to clean the instruments they're not cleaning them properly. when he comes into the room to perform surgery he's expecting all those instruments to be cleaned already. you ladies need to be reporting them to the health department in Miami so that they can get cleaned up and help save people's lives
August 20, 2015
You ladies are so blessed with this site to connect with each other . This doctor and his staff should be out of business . It's starts from the top he is the head of his people he should know what's going on in his office . God bless you all . Support patients . Post his name again , and again to help others from using him . Much love . Cincinnati lady

I don't know Ortega, but if it's in the same office I would think twice. Make sure he has malpractice insurance... everyone makes mistakes. I don't trust anyone from that office
June 2, 2015
I did all of my homework on Dr. Ortega and he definitely has all of his credentials in order and not on bbl complaint. The other doctor well he's a different story all together.

I know the state of Florida doesn't require doctors but most board certified plastic surgeons have malpractice insurance. Having insurance just shows what kind of doctor he/she is ...Doctors are humans and they can make mistakes.

Can I ask you ladies how long was it before you bathed how long were you told by the dr to wear the garment before removing it too bath I had a trap in 2013 my Dr expressed how important it was to bath regardless of the pain I've seen stories were some girls had taken the garment off for days I'm just trying to get a clear understanding of what is going on I was gonna use this dr but is afraid and my husband would not allow me to go through with it but I am in the medical field and I know you cannot go that many days without using anti bacterial soap some of these girls staph infection are starting days if not months after leaving the facility so I'm wondering who's really at fault I don't want you to think I am pointing fingers at you Lady but if you are waiting longer than 2 days to bathe than you are questionable

I had my surgery on Wednesday and the "doctor" told me to wait until I saw him on Friday. @ajb78 - I also work for two medical doctors here in Austin, Texas which were monitoring my health(as a favor) ... Once I explained how I was feeling they asked me to call my doctor in Miami ... After three weeks of calling him with no respond he decided to call me on May 19 at 10 pm. Calls in antibiotics (way to LATE!) omulepu knew I worked for two doctors and tells me to give them his personal cell phone.- He wouldn't asnwer his phone anyways ! Both my doctors advised to visit the ER ...I text him on Friday saying I was not feeling well and I was going into the ER room ... I thought he would call or text me back, WRONG! If ANYONE WANTS TO SEE THESE TEXT PLEASA EMAIL ME ! I followed his directions BUT the fact of the matter is that it took him THREE WEEKS to call me back! What kind of doctor does that ? I REGRET this whole ordeal.... I've been in pain for weeks but TODAY it hit me. I cannot believe this is happening to me :/ I don't understand why anyone would be so careless

I had my surgery on a Saturday. The dr told me not to remove my garment or shower until Monday when I would go to the office and he wouldn't be there. He said "you will probably see someone who does not speak English. Make sure they just look at you and put everything back on the way they found it" I was to go back to see him on Tuesday and he would tell me at that point if I could take off my garment or shower. So being I had my surgery Saturday morning that was 3 days he wanted me to go without even taking the garment off.

You can report him to the Florida Department of of Health (http://www.floridahealth.gov/licensing-and-regulation/enforcement/index.html) I already have and have gotten a complaint number. This is not normal for so many women to need blood transfusions and have infections of this caliber! This is outrageous! Speedy recovery doll ...
