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. |

Dr. Allan Kurtz is the best doctor in Woodland Hills, Ca...., Mar 24, 2012 Dr. Allan Kurtz is one of the nicest doctors in the Valley. He speaks to you in layman's terms. To put something in layman's terms is to describe a complex or technical issue using words and terms that the average individual (someone without professional training in the subject area) can understand, so that they may comprehend the issue to some degree. This helps me every time I go in for a check up, or for an illness. He has a great staff and nice facility. He has always been very helpful and will not steer you in the wrong direction. |

Pill Mill - He almost killed my friend and he doesn..., Feb 6, 2012 He almost killed my friend and he doesn't have the courtesy to return my calls! My good friend Dave is hooked on pills and this guy just keeps dishing them out. He prescribed 120 Xanax plus 2 refills knowing Dave is addicted! Yesterday the paramedics took Dave to the hospital for an overdose. The only person in the office I've been allowed to speak to is Maggie. She was rude and had no concern with stopping the pills or finding a solution, just concerned with trying to cover their butt with double talk. |

Most unorganized Doctor ever with a staff that is even worse!..., Dec 9, 2011 This doctor loves consultations at 500 a visit and never even remembers why he had you come in or your name. The only thing that tops that is no return phone calls, no matter how many times they will check and "call you right back". They schedule appointments and don't tell you or better yet send you to a down town office only to find out that it's at an office 30 minutes in the other direction. FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR … maybe even one who cares about your family and your time. |
