When we 1st visited the office everyone was nice and efficient. My mom decided she was going to get a breast augmentation, laser lipo, and eyelid lift. The price was amazing for what she was going to get done.
My mother had some problems with her blood work, when iron levels where low to get surgery, so she had to get another one once she had good levels. 1st misunderstanding - someone at the office drew her blood and later threw it out because they didn’t get the order from the doctor. (They still tried to charged her)
Once the surgery day came, my mom asked (on 1st visit) if her breast implants could be done through her armpit and Dr. Haramus said yes. The of surgery he told her he was going to do it below the breast. (My mother doesn’t speak English & didn’t understand, which she knows it was her fault but she was also anxious about her surgery and agreed to something she didn’t know what it was)
Post-OP - we took her home after surgery and NOBODY told us that she had a post op follow up the next day. The nurse said to call to set an appointment for her follow up so that’s how I ended up calling the office and the receptionist told me my mom had missed her appointment that day! I told nobody told us anything...so I had to leave work and run to take my mother to the office to get checked up.
6 months post op - my mom noticed that the liposuction results weren’t what she thought they will be at 6 months & her left breast was still high. She went for her follow up and told Dr. Haramus what she thought of the results. He said that it was still early and that after the year she will see better results.
One year post op - my mother started to feel a lot of pain on her left breast which was still high. Meanwhile, he right breast looked down and had some skin hanging! Her liposuction results were terrible and he eyelid was much different!
We made an appointment to have the dr. Take a look at her. He said that she had a muscular contraction on her left breast and he needed it to go in again and removed the scar tissue but he was going to charge her again. My mom got really upset and told him that she had told me about it before and he could’ve done something earlier (without having to do surgery) but he neglected what she told him.
We went to 3 different doctors and they all said the same: They all agreed that her breast pockets were done incorrectly, and the same with all the other procedures.
We wanted her money back to do a revision elsewhere and they only what to give $7000 (which is not even half of what she paid)
Or they gave us the option to do the revision with Dr. Haramus but we had to pay for the operating room. My mom refused to have the revision done by him because clearly he did a horrible job at 1st.
We asked if Dr. DiBernardo could do it and they said at first that we will have to pay his fees!
At the end they agreed for Dr. DiBernardo to do it.
He did the revision, and everything was good until my mom told him in one of the follow up visits about a leftover tissue that one of the scars had. He said thst he will remove in the office once her laser visits were done.
She wenr last week to get it removed & guest what! They wanted to charge her once again for something they messed up!
When someone looks for a plastic surgeon, they want to be comfortable and secure that they will look better...if you see the before and after (their photos) you will understand my mom and how uncomfortable she felt with her body. She rejects getting her surgery done by this office!
