Beware of This Dr. He’s Not What You Think

This is a sad moment for me, I read all of the other reviews and that’s why I chose this Surgeon. What a roller coaster of bad experiences!

First; the price was a lot higher than many other offices but since he was well qualified then I chose to undergo my tummy tuck with Dr M. My fee was $$$10,000$$$$.

I am a single mom and took out a credit line for this, I am 45 and waited long enough to decide on doing this. While I was in middle of surgery he claimed to have needed an additional hour and I was charged an additional $2000!

My consult was great but the post op experience has been JUST THE MOST HORRIBLE UNPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE I’VE EVER BEEN IN.

This Dr doesn’t call you EVER to check in on you AT ALL!!! All of my post op appointments were scheduled, confirmed then canceled either the morning of or the night before.... oh and it’s done VIA TEXT through his administrative assistant ( who is also your go-to person after the Dr takes your $$$$.!

Jessica is bombarded with so much she sounds frustrated most times when I spoke to her about my concerns and questions. I depended on You Tube and online sources to answer any medical concerns.

It is extremely sad that now that I am a year post op he won’t communicate with me at all about doing my revisions! YES LADIES HE HAS LEFT SCAR TISSUE UNDER THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BELLY BUTTON AREA AND I HAVE DOG EARS!!! Oh and he made me get an ultrasound then said it wasn’t clear...Then I paid for a CT and never did he contact to say ANYTHING on what his findings were. I actually took my CT to my primary physician and he wrote up a report on his findings. WTH guys! Come on this is unethical of Dr Malamet. He is not what I thought I was going to experience.

I only give a ONE STAR because it’s the lowest I can give. I’ve gotten into debt for me NOT TO BE HAPPY about my outcome. I’m wondering if anyone out there has experienced this and is embarrassed or afraid to speak the truth about the professional side oh Dr M after he takes your money?????

I showed up to one of my last appointments and he left me in the room waiting for 30 mins then his assistant (Jessica) came in and said he had to leave for an emergency but yet he didn’t walk in the room to apologize for him leaving me there. My job is in Santa Clarita and he’s on Ventura so I made time to make sure I kept my appointments.

There’s zero communication once he takes your money. Oh and your lucky if he actually sticks to the appointment so you can ask ALL the things he doesn’t bother to prepare you for in the process of healing.

Now I am left with an ugly bulge on my abdomen and dog ears that look awful with just wearing bikini underwear. I regret choosing this office and this Dr 100 percent! Please interview MANY OTHERS and really be careful with choosing this surgeon. He’s handsome and all smiles when in the consult room but it’s all a fake, uncaring money hungry man! Double certified??? Nah he needs to be educated in having a heart and build relationships with his patients rather than dump all of the post ops to his poor assistant. I hope she gets paid bank because I built a texting relationship with her this past year more than anyone I’ve texted in my life. Lol.

This place is a fancy facade from the outside ladies!!! Beware of the BS.
