Breast Symmetry- I just wanted to look normal.

I initially went to Dr. Van Laeken for breast symmetry. I had a breast reduction on my right and an implant over the muscle on my left side. The surgery resulted in symmetry in size but she reduced the areola on one breast but not the other. I wanted to look normal and after the surgery I again had another issue with symmetry. She did three subsequent procedures to correct the areola that she initially hadn't reduced. The procedures were sloppy and I look terrible and now have nerve sensitivity in one nipple. Years later after weight loss due to a medical issue, I once again had a symmetry issue. I now needed a breast implant in the breast that I had reduced. Dr. Van Laken did the surgery, this time, she replace the implant and left one under the muscle and one implant over the muscle. The sizing was off significantly, so I had another surgery to reduce the size of the new implant on one breast. Now my nipples don't align. I hate how I look.

After doing some online research about Dr Nancy Van Laeken here is what I came up with. It appears that her staff (Ramona) takes it upon herself to post fake reviews to cover up patients honest reviews of Dr Nancy Van Laeken. (Whether or not Dr Nancy Van Laeken has anything to do with this or maybe even posing as Ramona is still undetermined) An obvious sign of this is the constant theme in the online reviews of Dr Nancy Van Laeken and the blatantly obvious false praise of Ramona along with false unsubstantiated claims of her medical prowess . Correct me if I am wrong but who are you supposed to be reviewing the doctor or her nurse? Since I could care less about their staff since they are not the ones who will be doing the procedure. I would much rather have a competent doctor with lousy staff then a lousy doctor with nice staff. Since Dr Nancy Van Laeken is not a family doctor that prescribes cream she is a surgeon so the onus about any review is about Dr Nancy Van Laeken competency not about how cheerful her staff are. As far as the reviews that I have come across (ratemds and google) I have made the following determination: The review by “Pam” is highly suspicious. Not only once again mentioning Ramona numerous times 3 to be exact while Dr Nancy Van Laeken was only mentioned 2 times??(once again a big warning flag for fake reviews) but for another “supposedly” cancer survivor to call out and doubt another cancer survivors experience now that is nothing short of shocking. There seems to be a theme in the reviews of Dr Nancy Van Laeken lots of fake praise followed up by aggressive responses by Dr Nancy Van Laeken staff. What is it that Dr Nancy Van Laeken is trying to hide?

I was referred to Dr. Van Laeken from a client of mine , who has worked with multiple Plastic surgeons in Vancouver as a surgical nurse , she told me that she was by far the best , I am BEYOND pleased with her work , she was friendly, had an extremely clean tasteful decorated office , I found all the staff to be pleasant, I honestly do not understand how anyone could think otherwise . Dr. Van Laken gave me the body I always wanted , thank you 🙂

I want to express my gratitude to Dr Van Laeken and Ramona RN for the expert care and support during my reconstruction after Breast cancer. I had bilateral mastectomies and nipple reconstruction . I am completely offended by”Stanley Park” who posted a few days ago. Not sure how a second party could understand what a patient goes through with the surgical team. Having gone through this I remember all the post op instructions and will always be grateful to Ramona when she removed my drains and took the bandages down for the first time. She was so empathetic and kind when I broke down. Obviously there are risks of infection after any procedure/surgery . That was explained to me too. I also had Allanah Lane do my nipple tattoos. She was gentle and patient . I would recommend her with confidence. It troubles me that a second hand assessment may possibly tarnish the reputation of the practice of a valued member of the medical community. Especially one that has helped with thousands of patients in the transition of physical and mental health during difficult times. Thank you Dr Van Laeken ,Ramona and Team I will always be Grateful !!

Upon entering Dr Nancy Van Laekens office one would think they were in a Beverly Hills plastic surgeons office. Fresh Orchids all around, wall mounted waterfall fancy leather seats ones first question is where is she getting all of the money to do all of this? Well the answer to this is out of the BC tax payers pockets. How is this you ask. Well she has conveniently situated herself to be at the end of the BC Cancer funnel. Meaning that she has so graciously or more like greedily offered to “assist” the poor souls who have been struck by cancer. Since I am unaware of any doctor that is doing so well in private practice that has any time to spare except for the patients they see regardless of the cause. But amazing enough Dr Nancy Van Laeken seems to be able to manage to squeeze the cancer patients in? Of course only out of the goodness of her pocketbook oops we meant heart… So was lead into one of Dr Nancy Van Laekens examination room and a Ipad was hung outside the door wow high tech. And my procedure was discussed. Then she dug out this nasty looking old point and shoot digital camera and asked if she could take a picture of my chest. I politely declined and told her that I would like to think about it before proceeding. She got up and left the said camera in the drawer! No lock no nothing on it. I curiously opened up that drawer and was able to access all of the hundreds of pictures of other clients that she had so haphazardly left unattended or unsecured. I actually had a card reader on me which I could have easily taken out the memory card from Dr Nancy Van Laekens camera slipped it into my reader and would have had all of those poor souls pictures. Instead I hastily got dressed and decided to do a little more research on Dr Nancy Van Laeken The unprofessional and complete lack of security of those pictures on the digital camera threw up some major red flags for me. Upon doing a little more research it appears that I was correct in my assumptions. It appears that Dr Nancy Van Laeken is either technology challenged, lazy, ignorant or just plain negligent when it comes to her offices operation Firstly her domain name is hosted with a company Brandon Gray Internet Services aka namejuice do a little googling on that one and see how it has been shut down by the government for “scamming” customers. Now I beg you to find any other reputable business in the world that would use that company note that I did state reputable. But it wouldn’t bother anyone who carelessly leaves patients pictures unattended and unsecured now would it? (Knowing this now I would encourage others to not even visit her website since a company with a reputation like “namejuice” you never know what might be hiding in the code of her website). Probably the same type of person who gets their staff (Ramona) to aggressively and I might add incorrectly respond do google reviews? Now what is a common trait of someone who is guilty of doing something, lying or trying to cover things up? It is of course to respond in an aggressive manner. Just look at the responses by Dr Nancy Van Laekens staff. So something to think about for those of you reading this review. We will see how Dr Nancy Van Laekens staff responds to this review. Since everything that is stated in this review can be verified. So don’t be sheep people. I know before I purchase anything I dig deep before my purchase and before I let anyone touch my body I am even more diligent. And I encourage you to do the same. Chances are pretty high that your doctor may have been part of the government funnel that automatically redirects you to Dr Nancy Van Laeken. But the point of my review is to encourage others to do research since as we are all aware the government is always looking for the path of least resistance with no concern for quality just to get things done. Since everyone is well aware that you are nothing but a number to the government and their complete lack of quality control or due diligence is something to be expected.
