Completely botched my procedure. His solution was to do surgery and remove strips of flesh... I kept telling him I don't think that's a good idea....his response "I think it should be fine"...so much confidence, thanks. Also, in two procedures couldn't be bothered in informing me of the process and outcome. So many regrets.

I have never given anyone a negative review. I had gone to this unscrupulous doctor with one of my beloved family members, who wanted eyelid surgery. He assured her that it can be done. Not only did he not able to achieve any effect, left her scars. He assured us that sometimes, a second procedure was needed. She had to endure the pain twice pretty much days in between and basically, It WAS A BIG FLOP. If there is a malpractice charge against anyone, he deserves it! I really thought that for an instance he was bi-polar, as he looked at me angrily when I wanted to be in the room during the second

Beware. Unfortunately I recently had Botox injections administered by Dr. Lorne Brown who was either too busy to inform me on potential complications and/or not experienced enough to avoid common complications. Placing Botox too close to the brows in a person who is using these very muscles to keep her brows from covering her upper eyelids is a basic Botox skill and a total rookie mistake. I'm stuck looking like this now for 5 months or more until the Botox will start to wear off. The worst of this is when I went to see him regarding all of this he was defensive and argumentative and left me in

He is very rude and most definitely a sexist. He didnt let me speak and assumed all my problems and then immediately dismisse then. Compared my body and age to a car. He said I could come back in around 10 years and get the breast reduction then. But that may be a problem since my breasts were breaking my spine. I ended up going to the best doctor I could have asked for Dr Van Laeken. She is the best, nice, professional, understanding and a human being that is able to feel empathy. Go to her, and leave this sexist behind.
