I do not recommend this surgeon. My Breast Reduction surgery went very bad. What began as routine outpatient surgery became an overnight stay, after I went into congestive heart failure. Then my breasts were so scarred, they looked like they belonged to Frankenstein’s Bride.

I do not recommend this doctor to absolutely anyone for absolutely anything. My experience began as a recommendation from my dermatologist. As far as I could remember I had a mole on my face, I did not have an issue with this whatsoever but my dermatologist advised me to get rid of it at once due to it being potentially cancerous. The dermatologist had stated that it would be beneficial if a plastic surgeon took care of the procedure for better scarring. I went to a visit at this surgeon’s office and we discussed my mole removal, this visit was not too unpleasant. After paying the woman up front, I was scheduled to have my procedure, the scheduling process was unpleasant due to the fact that I have a busy life and the woman answering phones in the wellington office is the most rude woman ever. Finally my appointment day arrived, I waited almost an hour before being attended to. The procedure mildly hurt although I was under local anesthesia. I did not mind this. The stitches were scheduled to be removed 2 weeks from then. I was five minutes late to get my stitches removed and got basically reprimanded by the woman who answers phones. The peculiar thing is that I had to wait nearly 30 minutes this time around so I was late but they were not even ready for me yet. After my stitches being removed I had to schedule yet another appointment for the doctor to see my scar. In the time that I got my stitches removed I noticed a weird lump where my first stitch was. I was somewhat upset due to the fact that this is on my face and I got a mole removed not necessarily to have another lump on my face in place of it. I called and asked about this, the response was «I can’t see over the phone» from a supposed nurse named Brooke. I was appalled at the lack of professionalism, accommodation and sensitivity in these people. I then proceeded to schedule yet another appointment with the doctor, I went to have my scar looked at and he had little to say. Instead of accepting the fact that my scar was disgusting and apologizing then resolving the issue, he proceeded to justify the situation saying that he is not perfect and he may mess up in one out of ten surgeries he performs. Upon me discussing how difficult it was to actually get an appointment he responded with «this is not a bus stop». I was livid with this response. He was extremely rude and condescending and his work was less than average. I payed for this! and it was on my face! I reminded him of this, because he seemed to have forgotten. He then said he could fix the scar for me but I would NEVER let this man near my face again EVER. Thank goodness my procedure was minor, and he could not even do that! I don’t even want to imagine a major procedure performed by this «surgeon». DO NOT GO TO THIS DR!
