My fiancee went to this quack for reconstructive surgery after losing a breast to cancer. Due to his incompetence, he failed to detect infection after she went to him several times with her concerns. The result was emergency surgery to remove the expansion device along with a significant amount of tissue, a day after her last visit with him. He had told her to go home, everything was fine...so he could go on vacation. She had full body sepsis. What kind of "professional" Dr can't identify a deadly infection. Do not go to this doctor!

I had used him in past with good results. He preformed reconstruction surgery without fully explaining risks involved. I have been unable to go back to work. Hopefully, I will be able to have corrective surgery to repair his mistakes.
