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. |

Excellent, compassionate surgeon, a true Asian eyelid surgery expert...., Feb 20, 2012 I recently went to Dr. Steinsapir located in West Los Angeles to address a bad asian eyelid surgery. I had surgery in South Korea. It was a big mistake. I live in California. I saw a bunch of so-called Asian eyelid specialists. The only one who talked to me in detail and made any sense was Dr. Steinsapir. He does surgery at the UCLA medical center. Thanks to his work, my eyes are much more symmetric, natural, and I don't look like one of my eyes was Westernized. He was able to fix the work of the prior surgeon. His office is very professional. |

Dr. V Has Really Helped Me With My Back Pain In Just Two Months..., Nov 30, 2011 I have been coming to Dr. V for about two months now and I cannot express how happy I am to have made this decision! I came in, skeptical, after having thrown out my back. I could not walk, sit, stand, or take care of my newborn son without experiencing extreme pain, at only 21! I was religiously taking pain killers, but nothing was getting better. After only two weeks of treatment my pain was gone! I could play with my son again! I was so happy with my treatment; I even brought my son in for a check-up. After having been pulled out at birth, he had been having trouble rotating his head both directions. After only two adjustments (that's right, TWO!) my son is looking both ways with no problems and he has been happier ever since. I'm so happy I came to Care Chiropractic and even happier I brought my son in. Thanks to Dr.V, I can look forward to a happy and healthy life for me and my son. Thank you, I couldn't have asked for a better SOLUTION. |

No help or care, no followup and a big, unexpected bill. ..., Nov 26, 2011 I was very unhappy with my visit to Dr. Lin. I had a painful ear problem that had been going on for a month, and all she did was look in my ear and say she didn't find anything. No inquires about how long I've had the problem and attempt to investigate the issue. She eventually did a very small procedures that she said might help or might not, and then charged the procedure as ambulatory surgery so that I would have to pay for half the cost instead just an office visit which is covered. Despite the fact that I left in pain, she never followed-up and never even attempted to help figure out what is wrong with me. I'm still in pain. |
