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.

High Scar, High/Tiny Belly Button, High Pubic Area

I’m 6 ft y’all and 160 lbs. I had NO loose skin and was initially worried about even getting a TT because I didn’t have the loose skin like most women and had 2 prior hernia repair surgeries. He assured me a was a good candidate and that I would get a low incision. That did NOT happen. Also I ended up being rushed to the hospital by ambulance hours after my surgery due to excessive internal bleeding.I received blood transfusions and had to stay hospitalized for several days. After several months of waiting for the swelling to subside, I told Dr. H that the scar placement was higher than discussed as was the belly button. He agreed and after much back and forth agreed to lower the scar per the “ patient satisfaction guarantee policy” that I brought up. He then stated he would not reoperate because I gave a 3 star review on YELP stating that I would be having a revision.He offered me 1000.00 to remove the review (I recorded the conversation & can share it) and I declined stating I’d paid $7000.00 to have this operation plus cost of travel. He declined so my review has remained on YELP. I am looking for a revision surgeon but also am scared to get another result like this. I included a screenshot of my review posted on YELP in the photos, along with emails, before photos, and after. This is in no way an attempt to disparage Dr. Hochsteins name, only sharing MY experience. Some people have good outcomes unfortunately my photos speak for themselves, good luck.
