2 years post surgery and the tummy tuck looks even worse! This man is just money hungryread more

I chose Dr. Madry for a tummy tuck in November 2024 to address the excess abdominal skin left after…read morehaving two very large babies. At our initial consultation on June 12, he was polite but seemed rushed and didn't spend much time discussing details. Still, he offered to perform the procedure at a reasonable price, so I decided to move forward. The surgery itself went smoothly, but recovery was incredibly painful. I couldn't stand upright for weeks. By January, I noticed swelling in my upper abdomen, which I initially assumed was just part of the healing process. Unfortunately, the bulge continued to grow rapidly, and I knew something wasn't right. I called Dr. Madry's office and was told he was leaving the country and wouldn't be available for another two weeks. At that point, the swelling was about the size of a lemon and getting bigger every day. When I expressed my concern, I was shocked by how I was treated. The office staff was dismissive, defensive, and even blamed me for not coming in sooner. Dr. Madry later called me from overseas and also made me feel shamed and at fault. They referred me to another surgeon at Good Shepherd who was covering for him, but I was told he wouldn't be able to see me for another week. Meanwhile, the bulge had grown to the size of a grapefruit. After some research, I realized I was likely dealing with a seroma--a fluid-filled pocket left behind after surgery. As a professional photographer, this growing mass made it extremely difficult to work. In desperation, I contacted my previous surgeon in Chicago, Dr. Michael Lee, who drained a significant amount of fluid from the area. I continued to see him for repeat aspirations--about ten times--until it became clear that this was not sustainable financially or logistically. Emotionally drained and hesitant to return to Dr. Madry after my experience, I resorted to draining it myself every few days. It's a painful and risky process, involving sterilizing the area and inserting a four-inch needle into my abdomen. Dr. Lee has now advised that I'll need another surgery to permanently resolve the seroma. It will cost $5,000 and require two weeks off work. I've had over ten surgeries in my life and never had any issues--until now. This has been my worst medical experience. Not only is the seroma still present, but the incision from the tummy tuck is large and poorly done. I also continue to have significant swelling that gives the appearance of a pot belly--on top of the seroma in my upper abdomen. Looking back, I deeply regret not investing in a more experienced and compassionate surgeon. I wish I had paid more for someone who would've treated me with care and delivered better results. This has been emotionally, physically, and financially devastating.

I had the same experience as Katelyn, exactly......waste of time and money!!…read more I waited for ever, had pain during the procedure, still have the small amount of belly fat that was to be removed but my belly looks like shit and I have very hard patches in my muscles were I was experiencing the pain during the procedure.

Attempts to call the office were not answered - the only response was through text, when they felt like responding. I would have left, normally. But since payment was given upfront... There's obviously no waiting or patient lobby. we drove 45 minutes to wait outside for 40 minutes. Unacceptable.

I was a long-time patient here and had an extremely negative experience with Dr. Patel and his…read morestaff. I felt pressured, misled, and even shoved toward a mirror, told to stand a certain way so I couldn't see poor surgical results. When I spoke up, I was told to ignore his behavior. I later found my records had been altered and learned that staff routinely lie for him. I even have text messages that support my claims. In addition, my Botox treatments here never lasted -- I was told it was because of my age, but since switching to a new injector, they now last twice as long. I also noticed that negative reviews about this practice disappear, while patients are solicited to post positive ones in exchange for free treatments. This left me feeling unsafe, disrespected, and deceived. I will be filing a complaint with the state board.

I visited Dr Madda in 2005 for a breast lift with implants. The work was perfection. 15 years later…read moreit's still perfection, and the compliments I have received year after year tell the real story. My implants were recalled and I went back to Dr Madda to have a bilateral breast implant exchange in 2021. The surgery was easy, the staff fantastic and Dr Maddas work is as amazing as it was 15 years ago. It's also important to note he did a Rhinoplasty for me in 2008 AND for my daughter in 2020. I've continued to go back to Dr Madda over and over for more than 2 decades because his professionalism and work - well, they speak for themselves. Perfection. Over and over.

He doesn't bother with the negative review because he can't admit what he does to some of the patients that come through. **Dr. Hsu: you disrespected me so bad back then but it feels like yesterday.

I went to get a consultation for rhinoplasty. When I was speaking to Dr. Lambruschi about what I…read morewas looking to get done he said that he can't turned a "Chevy" into a "lambhorgini" which was in reference to myself. Basically made me feel bad about myself. I feel like if anyone goes to seek any type of procedure, the last thing you need is for a doctor to make fun of the way you look. Just figured it was a bit unprofessional & unnecessary for him to have said that.

Dr. Lambruschi is a very talented surgeon and a very patient person. He was very thorough in my…read moreconsultation and really listened to what I was saying - it was obvious that he cared about me and what I wanted. The surgery went as expected and I am thrilled with the results. Every other person I know who had Dr. Lambruschi perform surgery on them has nothing but great things to say about him and their results. In considering the previous review, take a look at that user's reviewing history - you will notice that every single review she has written was terrible and assigned the lowest rating. Bottom line: Dr. Lambruschi was fantastic - both in bedside manner and in producing results.
