Hall Gary D MD

A nightmare! I am a Mother of four grown Children, and saw Dr. Hall on a scheduled appointment, and it was a very hurried appointment. I was told to schedule to come back in about two weeks, for what I figured was to be my consultation. I had a lot of questions and concerns, for what turned out to be much more than I was prepared for, a tummy tuck, breast reduction, Liposuction, and not sure of any other terminology of any other procedures done that day. I was very quickly prepared for surgery then and there. In my mind, I was very unclear just what all was to be done and became emotional as the Nurses ask all their questions, and I was caught totally off guard with some of them. Dr. Hall came in and made a few rather hurried and demanding questions, with very impatient, brief replies and explanations to my inquiries. I felt as though he was acting downright angry with me, though I was trying to be tactful with My ignorant questions. I went into this pretty blind on my part I guess, especially since a little more was thrown at me, than I had anticipated. It was before I had a computer or smartphone, and could Google for information. And I was downright petrified with fear. The surgery was not an easy one. Lot of pain and discomfort over a long recovery period. I still have a lot of pain, but I "made my bed and now I have to lay in it". The surgery left me very disfigured, and when I went back for My year Check up, Dr. Hall preceded in checking me over, necessary I suppose, but I felt humiliated, and he concluded that I needed further surgery to make necessary corrections. He listed so many "corrections", I would have thought he would have felt like a failure! But I knew that I was extremely ashamed of the way I looked, and when he started talking "correction", I wanted it corrected, if possible. I never dreamed he would be charging again to make the "corrections" of HIS mistakes! But he had me get dressed again "while he figured an estimate of said surgery"! AND it still might take another surgery or more to completely do the necessary corrections. This one was to be $10,000.00! Needless to say I turned him down, and never went back there again. Guess lesson learned the hard way, "I should never have messed with what God gave me".
