I am leaving this review because I have to. Because there are nothing but 5 star reviews on this person and nowhere did I find all the things that set off my alarm bells, and people need to know. (And by the way, there are businesses you can pay to remove your bad reviews, so who knows what will happen to this one.) Let me start by saying that I did not go through with my surgery, and in order to be fair, I need to be upfront about that. Also the girls at his office were very nice. But here I am going to explain why I backed out: - The hotel they reserved for me was the dirtiest thing: The sheets were not changed (there were HAIRS under the sheets and LIPSTICK on the pillow case.) That's where my surgeon wants me to be for 8 days recuperating from surgery? RED FLAG #1. - I go to the "hospital" for my pre-op visit: Not a hospital. An outpatient clinic with no one else there. I want this done in a PROPER HOSPITAL, so that if god forbid something happens, I don't need to be transported to one. - The medical staff? Not wearing scrubs or masks. Just civilian clothes. So when they stick you with a needle, you don't feel exactly at ease about it. - The "nurse" did not clean my skin or put a bandaid on after sticking me. That's an easily avoided potential infection. When I asked for a bandaid, another girl who did not clean her hands opened it up and got her fingers on the piece that touches the puncture. - There were various medical tools just out on a tray. In the open air. And after she stuck me, she took the needle out of my arm (with my blood on it) and just laid it next to the tools. She should have put it immediately in a bio bin. How many patients' blood was on that tray? This is how contamination happens. - The doctor looked disheveled and his hands and nails were visibly dirty. He did not even wash his hands or put on gloves because handling my face (and his hands smelled of cigarette.) - Before I had time to realize it he shoved one of those tools that had been out into my nose. He did not wash it before or after me (fingers crossed that it got washed at all.) How many people's noses has this been in? In the age of COVID this is beyond irresponsible. - And frankly he rushed our meeting. You're a stranger about to do surgery on my face. Can we take our time? Can I ask all my questions? And can you give me more specific answers than "Don't worry, it will be fine"?? EVERY concern: "Don't worry. Don't worry." No but I AM worried. I need you to demystify it. Explain it to me. Show me photos of other patients. I go back to the hotel (another one I booked myself) and realize I am having a panic attack. I'm throwing up, hyperventilating, crying. That's when it hit me: "WTF am I doing here???" I had ignored ALL of my alarm bells in hopes that this visit would put me at ease but it did the opposite. So I backed out and in the end, I have never felt more right about anything in my life. After the fact, finally, unpleasant feedback gets shared in the thread (along with some disturbing photos. If I'm given the green light from the girls, I will add here.) Noses with weird bumps and other deformities, extremely jagged and/or crooked nostrils, and a girl with bruising on her arms so concerning, I asked her to make sure it wasn't an infection (because it can kill you.) Multiple girls reached out to me privately about how they want a revision from this doctor's work. You're not gonna see THAT on Instagram. Actually one girl said her photo was removed from the account and she wonders if it's because she said something publicly on there. My advice: Find someone local to you. You need to be able to see the facilities where you'll be operated and meet the surgeon and his team in person. You need to see how your gut feels about it. And it may be more expensive where you are (not that that was any part of my motivation) but the flights and accommodations will be a LOT of money, so that should factor in. Learn from my mistake. You should be able to recuperate at home. Comfortable and SAFE.
