Failure to perform as agreed or to disclose pertinent information...., Apr 14, 2012 Dr. Calabria misled me as to the fact that he had never been sued by a patient (I have his e-mails to prove it). Had I known he had been successfully sued and was currently on probation, by the medical board, I would never have allowed him to operate on me. By Calabria’s own estimate, and that of other plastic surgeons, the procedures he was to perform on me: vertical face-lift, neck-lift, endoscopic forehead lift, lower eye-lid correction (blepharoplasty) and fat injections (volume restoration) to various places on my face; that I paid $41,000 for should have taken 8 to 9 hours to perform. He spent less than 5 hours on my procedures. Two of the procedures got infected. My left lower eyelid, seen to by Dr. Applebaum , and the right cut in my skull. The endosocopic cut had opened to such a degree that Calabria was to re-stitch it. He did not.” Rather than the “Vertical Facelift” I paid for he performed the One-Stitch procedure instead and left me with the scars to prove it. He also caused a lump on my cheek. He promised to eliminate this lump; he did not. My lower Eye-lids were to be done from the inside; he cut on the outside and stitched in my eyelids resulting in a chronic case of blepharitis. |

Southwest Medical Center Should Be Avoided At All Costs...., Mar 17, 2012 Dr Bergfeld is a good doctor, but the staff of Southwest Medical Center are some of the most discourteous, inefficient and vile folks you'll ever deal with and this is not my unique experience. They don't answer the phones and when they do, they either disconnect you, connect you to the wrong doctor, or just totally unprofessional. If your time and happiness are important to you, this is not the place to choose. |

They only care about your money, they over charge you ..., Feb 7, 2012 I went to visit the office to have my annual eye check. When I was in the office, everyone keep asking me if I have any friends or family need eye check. And I found out later that they charge me $50 just for putting a pair of contact lens into my eye. When I called, they said that this is just their practice, you don't have to come back. |

Something is wrong with the way these guys treated me as a patient...., Feb 5, 2012 Very questionable in my opinion. I won't go back. They nickle and dimed me for everything. When I had insurance, I did not really pay attention but now, I see that they are out of balance with regard to patient care vs insurance company care. Whats funny is, when I lost my insurance, all of a sudden, all treatment options became available and they started billing me for every little thing including phone calls to work out prescription issues. Just very yucky... |
