WORTH IT$3,000
I initially put a down payment down to have augmentation with a practice near my home. It was going to cost me $6,000 and I was okay with the price. I wasn't however comfortable with the before and after photos, I kept looking at them to ease my discomfort but it didn't work. so I hit the internet and started doing more research. Spectrum Aesthetics kept coming up in my searches but I disregarded them because the prices seemed "too good to be true". Finally, I gave them a chance and started reading all the reviews. They were all pretty good. The before and after pictures suited my wishes a lot better, also. I weighed my options and although saving money wasn't a top priority… it sort of was a no brainer to choose the less expensive and more desirable look. Also, I thought the travel would be good for the soul. I was in communication with "Emily", I'm from Minnesota where people are really, really nice, so maybe I just need to get used to the Miami way of things but Emily didn't seem too enthusiastic to speak to me. She wasn't mean just a bit short, she seemed knowledgable but she certainly didn't ease my nerves. I sent in my pictures and health forms and waited for a response about my qualifications. Being that I wanted my augmentation as soon as possible, I was required to make a deposit to lock in my surgery date and sign a contract. I signed my contract and waited for directions, the next day. Today, I was waiting to be contacted about where I needed to go to get my EKG/checkup for surgery. Being that my surgery is only 2 weeks away, I was hoping for quick responses to my questions. I had also read one review where a woman had to post pone her surgery because the office wasn't responding to her and she didn't get her checkups on time and I didn't want that to happen to me. Emily and I communicated through email and on the phone but my emails were rarely responded to especially after I paid my deposit. Anyways, Emily finally called me at around 2:30 pm, today (not sure what the time difference is) she told me that the doctor she had booked me for on April 2nd, said that I also needed a breast lift. I've been to a few other surgeons and all have said that I don't need one. I insisted that I didn't need/want one and that the photos don't really show how small i am and how little drooping I had just loss of volume. I was getting my implants over the muscle as opposed to older which would fill out the skin a lot more. So she asked me to resend photos and that she would call me back. I emailed her and called her back a few times with no response and then she finally called me back at around 5. She told me the doctor she booked me with wouldn't do the surgery without a lift but that Dr. Omulepu would do it. That actually comforted me a lot because I couldn't find much on the other doctor. So now I'm waiting for a new contract to sign which I still haven't received hours later. There is still so much up in the air and it makes me nervous. I have so many questions still, but I haven't even had a chance to ask them. I know this is a high volume center but I think they should expand staffing, allow you to talk to other people who aren't so busy. And the assistants should learn how to open up a conversation for questions. I'm a virgin to the plastic surgery world and I still have a lot of anxiety about the process. Now I'm worried that I should have just stayed with the surgeon in my hometown. I'm looking forward to working with Dr. Omulepu but I'm not looking forward to the rest of this process.

The worst customer service, EVER!!! you get what you pay for.
I decided I was going to be more proactive and try to more aggressively communicate with my coordinator. I called her this morning to ask when I would receive a new contract with revisions. I finally received my contract via email at 1:30 this afternoon. I signed it and sent it back to Emily who shortly called me after to verify that I had received it. She told me the next step was to call the office of spectrum aesthetics to schedule a pre op appointment with my doctor the day before surgery. She also said that I would be receiving a call from… i'm not even sure…. I never got that phone call. I called the clinic and told them I needed to make a prep appointment… I called multiple times (5 times) each time I was transferred and hung up on… no one seemed to know what I was talking about or who I was… I even was transferred to Karla's cell phone who is the post surgery care house manager. I tried to call emily back but now her phone was off. So here I am again…. questions unanswered…. appointments not made… calls not answered. I'm getting very very frustrated.

still waiting
Not much has been resolved. I signed a new contract that puts Dr. O as my physician , Tomorrow I need to call the recovery to reserve a spot for recovery. I'm still waiting to hear back from a medical center so that i can be pre screened for surgery. lets hope this gets taken care of soon. I still have a lot to do… I just want everything to run smoothly once i get there.

I'm sorry you're having this crappy experience, hope it gets better soon. I've never had an elective surgery either . I'm in the process of having my BA done in the next couple weeks , I hope. I'm struggling with the size at this point. But If you don't feel comfortable with these people I would be running the other way. Best of luck to you
