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. |

After a visit to Dr. Albas office I ended up in the ER with pneumonia ..., Feb 26, 2012 Saw Dr. Alba for what I thought was a chest cold. He gave me 5 minutes of his time and said I should take the antibiotic her wrote. I thought that it was strange that he really didnt allow me more time. 2 days later I was in the ER with pneumonia. I was told that I probably was sick for over a week with it. I will not go back to See Dr. Alba. |

Dr Brening, Great and informative Dr. for Colposcopy and Pap Smears..., Dec 3, 2011 Dr. Brening is really nice, gentle, and I could tell he really cared about me as an individual. So hard to find Dr.'s that really care about their patients & will go the extra mile for them these days. This is my first time having a male Dr. and he made me feel totally comfortable during my exams. He calls me if he ever has questions regarding my medical history & took the time to get to know me and my problem, and is working on the best solution for ME. Great Doctor for SDSU students! |
