If I could give a negative star oh I would. In 2008 I went In for a consultation with Dr.ahmet karaca he seemed so nice and gained my trust so I scheduled to have the surgery in 2008 when he worked at the Riverside CA office.when the surgery was over and I was at home I noticed a large lump like mass on the right side of my breast so I called the doctor and his exact words were to go bother someone else.i stood there in absolute shock.long story short it too over 19 doctors, a bunch of CAT scans, biopsies, cancer scares, doctors not knowing what it was or what to do,most doctors said It was a blood clot.i felt hopeless but then I found two high respected specialists at St Joseph's of orange there names are Dr.michelle Carpenter who's a breast cancer specialists and Dr.andres taleosnik who is a reconstructive surgeon.They were the only surgeons that were willing to go in and see what this giant huge mass was.so I was scheduled for the surgery that Dr.karaca should have taken care of 3 years ago ASAP.i was extremely nervous due to the past and everything I went through but I new I had to do this.the surgeons couldn't believe there eyes when they opened me up and saw what was inside of me.it was a big piece of gauze wedged so hard in there that it was kinda hard for them to remove it,the problem was that this wasn't just any other type of gauze,any type of gauzes or towels that goes into the OR, they have to have what's called a radiopaque,it is a thin blue line so if it's left inside a patient it will show up on a X ray,CT scan,pet scan basically any scan.If they only used legal gauze when they did my surgery I wouldn't have had to go through the hell i went through.then after the surgery when we were driving home my phone range,so I answered it and it was a call from St Joseph's saying to get back to the hospital ASAP because the gauze that was in me gave me sepsis.i was in the hospital for 3 weeks on IV antibiotics,I had to have surgery to have a port a Cath placed.it was hell but thank God for these doctores at St Joseph's hospital or orange. And let me tell you PLEASE make sure you check your doctors background.you can do it on like.make sure you check if they have had and malpractice cases,any complaints.PLEASE do your research or u could end up going through what I did

this is wonderfull
