    Dr Spivak is a talented doctor who can do impressive surgery when he wants to. He has a problem…read morewith follow through. He abandons patients when business is not lucrative enough. My son had a bad motorcycle accident that resulted in an amputated leg. Dr Spivak was in charge of his reconstructive surgery. 4 surgeries were planned. After the third one, Dr Spivak was no longer available with no communication to patients, office just didn't answer phone and didn't return calls.

    After searching for some time for a doctor to do my explant I found reviews that Dr. Spivak was…read moregood at correcting things and felt comfortable with his personality after meeting him. I have never written a bad review, but feel very discouraged after many months of trying to get through and make things correct. It is a long disappointing story but is as follows. I was informed I would need two surgeries, one to explant and heal, the next to lift. The office was very adamant and the follow up was great when it came to getting money. After the money was received, everything was incredibly unprofessional. I had to take work off to drive up to LA for appointments and they were cancelled or rescheduled day before every time. I had to leave many messages and would never get a call back. There was never the same person working there and one staff member took off and actually charged plane tickets fraudulently under her name to my credit card which is a whole other story. I was forgiving and patient through this all desperate to just get this surgery over with. After the first surgery I ended up in the ER with a huge hematoma football size over my heart. The doctor was on vacation and they have no other doctor available for post opp emergencies so I was instructed to go to the ER immediately. It ran close to $5000 and i could not raise my arm for 6 months and missed another week of work and was in severe pain. My. breast tissue was severely damaged and loose skin from having implants in for so long. At least that is what i was told and I do understand that is likely why. Then next surgery I had three months later. I had to gain 10lbs so he could even them out and put fat in one side I had two different sizes and to get a lift. The doctor told me this was to be under local. A week before surgery I had taken two weeks off and had a friend fly out to care for me, I got a call letting me know they were going to push it back three months to use their new facility because their costs were lower there even though I had paid up several months before. I was devastated after shoving food down when I am a fitness person and unable to workout for three months. I was in tears and let the doctor know how wrong and upsetting to do this right before so they would make moire profit after how patient I was with the staff, unprofessionalism ect. Dr. Spivak then did try to make it right and follow through. That staff member, again left the practice as the others so once again my paperwork was gone, wrong or missing and again noone knew what was going on. The doctor and I rescheduled, and the day before surgery he called me personally and said his head was not in the right place because his wife was ill and he cancelled. Now I completely understand the importance of family, and while upset I was kind and appreciated the honesty and hoped she was ok. Had everything else not happened I wouldn't have been upset at all but more concerned. The doctor calls and is ready 3 days later for the surgery and I go in. He brought in another doctor to consult and go over what was going to happen. Fat taken from hip to even the breasts and a lift. I was awake for the first part and noticed really hardly any fat was taken whatsoever, then I was put to sleep. I was told this surgery would be local as having anesthesia twice in little time with my family history worries me tremendously with memory loss and Alzheimer's strong on both sides. I woke up, I was told 100CC put on one side and 50CC on the other. Even I know this is a completely inaccurate ratio for my breasts being two cup size different. I took the bandage off and they were massively different sizes, the bigger on before still far far bigger AND no lift was done whatsoever. My nipples completely different sizes and the top concave with saggy little fat pockets hanging below. So where is the lift I paid to have done? I cant help but to believe two things, first the OR cost was too high so it was a time issue and it was decided just to go as quick as possible, and two his head was still not in the right place as he stated three days before. Fast forward 6 months, I am left completely deformed and lopsided and doctor and office will no answer or return my calls. They will not even give me the paperwork I signed and I believe they must have lost it. I am a peaceful person and grateful nothing worse happened but I truly regret not finding a far more professional and experienced doctor. Dr. Spivak is a pleasure as far as personality goes, but only when there is money involved. If anything goes wrong you can could they will avoid it at all costs. I believe I was given anesthesia in the second surgery so I could not see that a lift was not being done. This is a very unfortunate story but all very accurate and I can only hope to find someone that can fix it at this point. Fifteen thousand dollars for this kind of treatment.

    I recently came here this month by ambulance. I woke up one morning and was having severe vertigo…read moreand literally could not even sit up for an hour or more, or I would just spin and spin. It was awful. The ER took me here because it was closest. I had never come here before. I told the doctor what was going on, and they did do lots of tests. He had blood tests done, an EKG and chest x ray. I was given medication for my dizziness and nausea and told him I do have a history pf passing out but not of this bad of vertigo just usually it is headedness with passing out usually caused by exception or sitting to standing too fast. I was told that I had a low hemoglobin it was down to 8.2, which wasn't too surprising since I was on my period and had a low hemoglobin. I have anemia and thalassemia minor, so that was ok. He did say he could do a blood transfusion, but I started at least being able to sit and walk normal after I was given the medication, so I just decided to leave. It's been at least a week or more, and I am still experiencing vertigo every day, so I don't think it was from my period. I am very nervous! I will go to my doctor and let her know. I think the doctors here do help and did help me as I was having an emergency at the time, but I just have to follow up on my own. I appreciate their support and service, but I didn't feel the security were very helpful. I had thought I misplaced my cellphone and was trying to find out where I could find it, and he just said he didn't have anything and that my husband wasn't there. I had to find him, and I was still disoriented, stumbling around in my pj's in broad daylight. That was embarrassing. Luckily I found it when I got home though but security and lost and found was not so nice and also this is the first hospital with an ER we had to pay $8 just to park especially since it's not far from compton?? My husband wasn't too happy about that either! The doctors are good, and my nurse was nice and the person who brought me to x-ray, but that's about it. I hope their registration person did it right because i don't want to get a bill, and I did give my updated insurance card. I gave this a 3 star rating, and that is ONLY because of the doctors and certain staff, because the rest of it needs to be worked on. There were so many of us in the hallways just on a bed. Apparently, it was hours just to be seen. ERs in California are SO different from mine back home in Michigan, and I miss the attention to care and my own room and bed.

    What an absolute privilege to finally, after 37 years of life and visiting countless medical…read morefacilities, discover the pioneering business model at St. Francis Medical Center. Every other hospital I have ever been to somehow managed to figure out how to let visitors park without shaking them down, but clearly, St. Francis operates on a higher plane of financial genius. Silly me for thinking a hospital visit was about patient support rather than a real estate monetization strategy. It is truly a groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind experience to be nickel-and-dimed just to walk through the front doors. I will be sure to bring my checkbook next time I want to support this incredible parking garage masquerading as a healthcare facility.
