  Dr. Aldea Bamboozled Me, Don't Go to his practice!..., Jan 28, 2012

DO THESE THINGS BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO SURGERY WITH DR. ALDEA: 1) Ask for the refund policy before you pay ANYTHING. You might not be provided the refund policy after you've paid the deposit. There are many outs for him not to return money if the surgery doesn't happen. 2) Don't be fooled by the good reviews out there. Some sites allow surgeons to only display the good reviews and not the negative ones. 3) Research to see if there are any lawsuits filed against him first. My experience with Dr. Aldea was NOT pleasant. He showed up 1 hr late for my surgery. Many of the nursing staff at St. Francis commented that he's frequently late and his surgeries always run over (which means you'll pay much more in the end!) On the OR table we both learned I had an irregular heartbeat. Dr. Aldea canceled the surgery but agreed to do it later if cardiac clearance was obtained. I got clearance which said that my condition was benign and to proceed with surgery as planned, but he never was satisfied, he found every excuse in the book not to do it. He dodged my calls for months! I wanted to get specifics from him on what he needed from the cardiologist. He kept having his patient coordinators say the same vague thing, "Dr. Aldea needs to know the surgery is safe for you." No cardiologist in their right mind will write "safe" in a letter. They will only say low-high risk. BTW 2 cardiologists wrote that I was low risk for the surgery and at no higher risk than a person who didn't have an irregular heartbeat. After many unreturned calls from Dr. Aldea, I got upset and asked for the truth and a refund if he didn't want to operate. He responded and said that I was ungrateful and here's your refund minus $750 deposit and he said that I didn't want the surgery. I responded that I did want the surgery but was tired of the run around and asked that he personally return a call so that we could clear up misunderstandings. His coordinator responded that he would not do the surgery until he got

  wish I could give 0 stars for all! Dr paul kirila was horrible and i wouldnt go back if i were paid!..., Jan 17, 2012

Today 1/17/12 was my first appt with this office and I must say my last! Every patient looked like they were there only for drugs and honestly looked like they were major meth heads! my appt was at 930 and aftrt sitting in the exam room until 1215 with no Dr in sight I left! I wouldn't recommend this Dr or the office to anyone unless your a dope head that needs a fix! awful experience!
  Dr. Samuel Lam, Lam Facial Plastics, Fat Grafting...., Dec 30, 2011

Mr. Lam said he just wanted to make my face “Look Beautiful” with fat grafting but he made me look like I have Cushings and one eye looks more lopsided than the other. He injected fat into my brows and now I permanently like an angry man. He tells people what they want to hear and told me it would get better, it didn’t it got worse and more lopsided over the years. I’m an adult, least he could have done was be honest instead of telling me nonsense to make himself sound knowledgeable. He is bloody eloquent and so confident you can’t help but believe him and not realize he has atrocious technical ability. He charged just under $9000 which is the biggest ripoff in the history of mankind. What enfuriates me is that he’s had failed surgeries before and he violated their civil rights by having those ratings removed by his lawyers and cronies at Medical Justice. Those POSTINGS COULD HAVE SAVED MY LIFE from this person and I wish more than anything that I need not be writing this right now.
  Dr Moorthy review who is awesome and I would recommend her to anyone..., Dec 17, 2011

She is an awesome surgeon. She takes the time to sit down with you and explain everything that is going on. She also has a wonderful power point. I am glad my primary doctor recommended her. She and her staff are very knowledgeable. I would recommend and have to anyone.
  Dr Oskouei is a HACK - Do not use this guy - BEWARE!!!..., Dec 13, 2011

Completely misdiagnosed my and my daughter which resulted in me owing 10,000 in medical bills. My new doctor said he doesn't know how he could have missed it. In my opinion they should revoke his license.
