  • 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.

Had a very severe reaction to Botox with this...

Had a very severe reaction to Botox with this doctors practice and will never, ever, have Botox done by this doctor again! I now understand, how important it is to choose a doctor that has experience and gives full attention to where Botox is injected.How much harm it can cause a person. So here's my story, and by no means at all, would I ever degrade this doctor or his office, but i do feel it is my need to publish this, since I use Yelp often for reviews and i would have wanted someone to post it for me to read. At the end of the day, it's still your choice what you do. I'm just letting you know what happened to me, what I was told by the many doctors i had to see afterwards, and really, would not wish this upon any person.
I've had Botox done a couple times from other doctors and all was fine. This time i went to Dr. G, and got a great deal so I did a bit more than my usual, bit was assured by Dr. that many others get much more so no need to worry. About 4 days after injections, i started to develop a droopy left eyelid, i googled and seen this can happen and it will go away, only temporary....well it's been almost 3 weeks, i have droopy eyelid, blurriness, extremely off balance and cannot focus. Cant drive or even look straight ahead. had to miss work and now having to have someone drive me. I've had a Cat scan, EKG, tests for stroke possibility, blood tests, complete eye exam including a dilation of the retinal pupil and all leads back to the Botox injector. I've OD'd on Botox, was injected to close to the eyes, therefore the nerve that controls my left eye is asleep, the pupil has no strength and cannot pull the two lines together so i now see double vision and so off balance, no focus. I have extremely dry eyes and need to constantly put lubricant, because i was injected in an area that controls the tear gland also. My vision is so blurry, that i have to have to wear prescription eyeglasses which are being made now just so i can see. This has been one horrible nightmare! When i called this doctor back, only suggestion he can give me is that maybe he can inject the other eye so they are both droopy and may help me balance. Really! Also, if I would like any procedures in the future, he would not charge me!

I know everybody is different how reactions effect each of us, but I've been told by all the doctors, these injections were not done properly and done in danger zones that doctors should know of, also that they were done too deep and too much at once.

The Blessed thing is that Botox is temporary and not permanent, so now i just have to wait it out and see when this will all dissolve on it's own, there's no reverse mode. Being that there was too much used in danger spots, there's no telling how long it can take to get back and if any permanent damage is to the nerve. It's a horrible unbelievable issue to live with the last few weeks, and i hope this never ever happens to anyone. Be careful who and where you choose, because maybe Botox is safe and used for many good reasons, but the injector is very important.
