I had the gastric sleeve, lost over 150lbs and was robbed of my tummy tuck. LADIES PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL. Once that wire transfer is made, u will never see the money again. Not to say it's entirely the Dr's fault. It was her decision to have a shady group represent her and she knew for a fact I was paid in full

I had previously went to this center to have the gastric sleeve. After losing over 150lbs it was time to tighten everything up. As you may imagine having the sleeve caused problems with vitamin absorption so after paying for my procedure in full and flying to DR from NY I was turned around because my hemo levels were so low. I committed to doing everything I could to raise them and when I tried to contact the service after getting my blood in order, I was continuously ignored. I finally was able to contact dr Camilo after getting her number from the driver I had on my original trip, I was told that my funds wouldn't be honored. I was basically robbed w/o a gun. This was the most depressing time of my life and I still cry just thinking about it. Even while writing this review. LADIES PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL!!! Once that wire transfer is complete. You will never see those funds again

Thanks for sharing. Does the D R have a licensing organization that you could complain to?

I got curious and looked them up...looks like they went bankrupt...they are listed as "voluntary dissolution"... I wonder if there's a way for their former clients to recoup losses the company owes them....

It's funny how the same way I filled out the contact form and was responded to by Leo back then. I did again and now a Larry responds. Business as usual, right Doc?

file a judgement they will have to have a bankrupt hearing and you may be able to get some of your money back.
