This is the worst doctor EVER. He explained NOTHING to me. Right before my surgery, I asked questions and he literally pointed to his nurse and said that is what she was for; to answer your questions. He made so many mistakes it's unbelievable. He told me that he didn't even think I needed surgery because the surgeon who was going to perform my mastectomies hadn't updated his records yet and he was wondering why I would need reconstruction. I told him I would need it because I had cancer. Instead of calling the surgeon and checking to see if he hadn't updated his records yet and if I indeed had cancer and needed mastectomies, he just blew me off...making me feel like I was crazy, almost like I didn't need the mastectomies. That appointment was a total waste of my time. He never acknowledged that mistake or apologized. Then when he did perform my surgery he wasn't kind or compassionate. He never really explained anything. He was awful. Did not give me enough pain medication after surgery. He barely came to check up on me...mostly sent student doctors or resident doctors. I would NEVER recommend this doctor to ANYONE!!! STAY FAR AWAY. Now I am in Chronic pain. I have nerve damage. I have severe neuropathy from his surgery. I am almost bed bound from his work. AWFUL!! He never told me I could have all the pain I have. I was not a good candidate for the reconstruction he did after my mastectomies and I've done research and since gone to other plastic surgeons who have said with all my symptoms I had before surgery, they would never have done what he did to me. He also did more extensive surgery and never told me, it was another surgeon who looked at his records that told me... "you didn't have a DIEP flap, you had a muscle sparing tram flap, your doctor never told you?" I told him, no and he said that any surgeon should immediately tell their patient if something changed during surgery. HE NEVER TOLD ME. He also cracked a small part of my rib and never told me that could happen during surgery. The other plastic surgeon I went to after my surgery had to tell me that happened to me. STAY AWAY!!! I am permanently now on disability!
