This is a complaint about a plastic surgeon that Ive been fighting with for a year. I just recieved a letter from the Board of Medical Examiners that my complaint against him and the money I wanted refunded was denied. I am wondering if I can take him to Small Claims Court to get back MY money.
I paid 1800 dollars for a minor brow lift. When the bandages were removed, my brows fell immediately. He told me not worry that they would "lift" themselves once the swelling went down. This never happened. I went back to see him twice after the surgery - both times he made different claims: One, that he warned me against the surgery LIE and two, that he told me had he done what I really wanted, I would have looked funny. ANOTHER LIE. He was trying to save himself the embarassment of not giving me what I wanted and paid for. Before surgery at our 3 consultations - he said everytime that he COULD and WOULD do as I requested. I should him every time what it was I wanted and he agreed that I would have a long lasting effect from teh surgery. Well, of course I didnt and now after knowing hte Medical Board will not help me... I need to know who can!!! This doctor, I feel stole $1800 from me. I went through a horrible depression over it and had to take a week off from work after surgery which was another $500 lost. I am so angrey and upset still after a year - like HE really needs my 1800 bucks!!!!
If I am able to take him to court - the only proof I have are the pre/post op pictures HE took. They clearly show nothing was done thru the procedure. Would a letter from my therapist help as far as the depression issue goes? I did go to another doctor who said he had no idea what this doctor did to me - HOWEVER these jerks all protect each other and he was unwilling to write a letter saying so. Are they any ideas any one has to offer?? PLEASE, I really really need it.
thanks
