Be Warned

Terrible risk to use this doctor. I used him a number of years ago and only now realised that I really need to warn other people about him. When I went for my first consultation with him he was quite arrogant. At one point his cell phone rang, he looked at it, said it was his wife and I said I did not mind if he answered. I could hear the voice of the person talking on the other side and after a few seconds while the voice was still talking the doctor ended the call without saying anything. Then he put the phone down and said, "That's how it goes after thirty years of marriage". That should have warned me to run, but I was naive. I went for a upper blepharoplasty and inner thigh liposuction. During the procedure the doctor was talking to a nurse behind him and kept on with the liposcuction while looking behind him. He clearly moved from where he was supposed to suction to another area because it was incredibly painful. I started to groan at which point he looked back at what he was doing and I saw a look of shock on his face. This puzzled me and I wondered what was going on. He also spent less time on one side than the other, abruply ending the pocedure at that point. In the days and weeks that followed I felt very uncomfortable after the procedures. After a while I asked my husband to take a photo of my buttocks and then I could clearly see that Dr Barnard had suctioned a part of my lower buttocks away. This caused immense problems, my underwear pulled up permanently on the one side and I was never comfortable. When I lay on my back for a while I had bad back pain, which I never had before. This totally changed my life. I felt disabled. It cost me years to find a doctor in Sydney Australia who specialises in buttock reconstruction to fix this disability that was created. Also the eye surgery changed the shape of my natural eyes and all of a sudden I had problems keeping my eyes open and was told that it was ptosis. This cost me again to find a surgeon to fix this problem. I complained, but the doctor couldn't care less and pretty much did nothing to repay costs to me. He really is not worth the risk and he did not care in the least about damage done to me and my health.
