PARENTS! IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!
This is not a kid friendly environment. They do not know kids and you will see how they treat your kids with "attitude." I came to see my son after the surgery, the needle was still in his ankle. He was crying and was so angry. The nurses were there looking at him with unhappy faces like telling me that my son was very annoying. One of them told me grumpily: "he is a kicker!"
Well, my son is 6 years old, they took him from me, brought him to sleep and did the surgery, put the needle in his ankle. When he woke up he saw no mommy but all strangers around him, the wounds were still fresh, the needle hurting him. Should he have had a smile on his face and thanked the nurses???
We went to this office 5-6 times in just a month but we almost never/rarely saw any smile from the people work there.
My son had nosebleed if he rubbed his nose really hard. I took him to see Dr. Biavati and he recommended nasal cautery. After the procedure, he prescribed an antibiotic gel to apply to my son's nose for 3 weeks. But after the surgery for just couple days my son's nose kept bleeding. Before surgery, he had to rubbed his nose very hard to cause the nosebleed, now his nose bled when he just sneezed or blew his nose. There were many times his nose bled when he did not even touch his nose.
We called in his office and they told us to make appointment to see Dr. Biavati. We did that and when we went there, he just looked into our son's nose and told us that he thought everything was ok, and we needed to keep watching and applying the gel and let him know when our son has bleeding again. We went home. That very evening, our son bled 3 times. We tried to be patient but in the next 3-4 days he had bleedings every single day. We called in. They, again, scheduled us to see the doctor and everything just happened exactly as the last time. We went home and watched our son... and again, his nosebleed got worse, he bled 5 times in 24 hours since we left his office. I was so stressed and could not be patient anymore. My husband emailed him and told him what had been happening, he replied with a short reply: "how long does it take to stop bleeding?" I was so mad and wrote him an email, i told him as a mother i cannot just sit there and watch my son bleeding. I want him to explain what had he done to my son and is it normal to have bleedings 3-4 weeks after surgery? Now, he responded. He said it is not normal and he didn't understand why, and he told us to bring our son back to his office. This time he check our son's nose more carefully and told us to let our son to do the blood test which my son already did just couple days before and he got the result from the son's pediatrician. Dr. Biavati looked at the blood test and told us the blood test results were good but he needed another test for clotting/coagulation then perhaps my son needed to do a second surgery. WTF???
There was no other symptoms that would remotely suggest blood clotting/coagulation was a problem. We told him he does not bruise easily; he stops bleeding in a timely manner whenever he bleeds from scratches/cuts. There was no need for a second blood test. What we think was that he made an attempt for a misdirection from his omission. He left out many blood vessels in the kid's nose and now wanted to beat around the bush with the unnecessary blood tests before he would admit that a second surgery is needed. He told us to apply the antibiotic gel to my son's nose for 3 weeks after surgery but when I emailed him and asked it has been 5 weeks should I stop or keep using the gel for my son then he didn't answer.
A second ENT doctor confirmed our suspicion. A second surgery was required. The second ENT doctor diplomatically said "the blood vessels may have grown back" (incredulously in five weeks). There was no need for a blood clotting test.
I was very confident to choose Dr. Biavati for my son base on his background, but now I regretted and I think it was my worst choice ever for my son. read more
