Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I Am Botched
I am only writing this review because I hope this will save someone from having to go through what I had to go through.
Doctors take an oath to do no harm and when choosing a doctor you believe they will uphold those values.
I didn't release that "doctor" Durvi Patel at center of smart lipo in Langhorn, PA was not a board certified surgeon even tho their website said that their docs are board certified surgeons.
I went their to remove a giant lipoma on my right hip, during consultation Patel said she did lipo everyday!!!
The operation room looked old, I felt like I was in Mexico or something, that should have been a red flag!
The next day after the procedure when I opened the dressing at home I saw a dent, so I called her office immediately and she asked me to come to the center that day so she can take a look at it. When I showed up at the center, she didn't come to see me at all, instead she sent couple nurses to look at me.
After 2 weeks, I went for the follow up visit and I saw Patel for the first time after surgery and told her about my concerns about the dent on my hip. Instead of being understanding and helpful; she blamed it on me and gave me all kind of lame excuses of why this had happened, she never admitted her fault. Not only she left me botched and deformed, she also didn't care about my healing at all and treated me like I was an idiot, she also said that things will get better with time. Its been over 9 months and I look exactly the same, also the area is still discolored.
To add an insult to injury, she offered to fix her permanent damage to my body with some cheap temporary fillers like radiesse and sculptura - not even kidding! she was actually dancing during the procedure!! She didn't even offer a refund.
I hope my painful experience helps others. Additionally, please don't be fooled by reviews with no photos. I would only trust verified reviews with pictures. I wish I had talked to real patients before deciding to go to Patel and center of smart Lipo. This surgery has taken a toll on my physical and emotional health.
