Nice Incisions, Poor Service and Results.

I had surgery in October of 2021. I’ll give my honest review. Dr. Schiesel is not as friendly AFTER services are rendered and money is collected. Once you voice any type of dissatisfaction, she begins to avoid you, as does her front office staff. I also ran into an issue when my insurance provider attempted to get an itemized bill from the hospital since the Dr. refused to provide me with one. Our provider seemed concerned when she finally received the invoice from OU hospital and an additional 20k was charged to the hospital and charged off from the hospitals “cosmetic fund” which should be used for patients who’ve experienced trauma (burns, etc) and can’t afford services. Another concern was the anesthesiologist. Dr. Schiesel also “contracts” with an anesthesiologist that goes by the name Trevor Bright. When I called his offices to get an itemized invoice so we could send it to insurance, they could NOT even find a file with my name or any information pertaining to services rendered. Our insurance was also unsuccessful obtaining any information.
Lastly, although I will say her incisions are low and somewhat neat, she totally botched my belly button. I inquired about it since DAY 2 and she tells me the same thing…. “You’re healing great. Give it time.” She came off as rather dismissive every time I brought up a concern. I still have extra skin that needs to be removed and I’ll also need a scar revision to correct some scarring that didn’t heal well. I’ve had several consults since then with other providers, my hernia was not properly repaired and my muscle repair also wasn’t properly repaired. I’m having a revision in May and I’m having to pay quite a bit for a reconstructive surgeon to fix her mistakes so for that alone, I could not in good faith recommend her to anyone. The cost “savings” wasn’t worth the headache and the poor aftercare.
