Called the main number for info. Spoke with a very nice person in Tampa. The Tampa office sent me $1000.00 dollar off coupon. Then followed up with a phone call to make sure that I received the coupon. I scheduled a consult & botox apt in the Orl office. I showed for my consult, there was no DR. It was the receptionist or "patient coordinator". Basically her job is to upsale and collect your money. She goes over the areas I am interested in having lipoed. She gives me a price of $2900 for three areas of lipo and fat transfer to the breasts. Then I tell her that I have the coupon and she refused to accept it telling me that the ACTUAL cost of the lipo is $7500.00 and she already discounted it at $2900. I call BS! I went through with the botox. at check out I am berated for having the audacity to try and use the coupon. I am told that no Dr is going to work for that price. They continue to tell me that no one beats their prices that what I want would take 5 hours in surgery. Finally feeling like an idiot i give a $400 deposit toward the lipo. scheduled a meeting with the Dr on the following Wednesday. The DR tells me that the transfer won't yield the desired results so again the "patient coordinator" comes in to "price my services". To get lipo on my back she breaks it into four sections at $995 each. I could't believe it because their groupon only refers to the back as one "area" when all is said and done I am scheduled to have lipo on arms, inner thighs,upper back,lower back,flanks, bra line and the knees are thrown in for free.(most doctors will tell you that the knees are done with the inner thighs for symmetry with transfer to the butt.... The new bundle price $4300. I arrive for my 1:00 pm appointment the following Monday to wait. At 2:00 pm I am told that they are cleaning the operating room. Finally at 2:45 pm I am taking back to the back waiting room. I decide not to get the transfer. told they will refund 1k to my card. The surgery was a nightmare. I will continue in the next review.... out of space.
