Re: To regarding Dr. Feng and more

[Guest guest]

Hi. I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings. I kept the "1,500" non refundable thing conversation going. I meant no disrespect to you or Dr. Feng as I realize how much she has indeed helped you.You are lucky to have a doctor who cares about you and has imparted her medical skill on to you.Not all of us have been so fortunate. I can see why you recommend her and feel she is the *best* because she has given you HER best and as such you have responsibly passed on the this to other women.

It is my opinion that nobody should recommend a doctor unless they are WHOLLY CONFIDENT of their physician. I have been guilty of recommending doctors just because I've "heard" they're good, and frankly that's not responsible of me--given what I've been through. I'm not doing it any more. Period. Unless I SEE their work AND hear about them from a reliable source, it's no dice.

,at least you can feel good about your recommendations being true to yourself.I'm not even going to recommend my own PS until my series of operations are done as the jury is still out on whether or not he's going to deliver what he said he would.

To date, the only doctors work I HAVE SEEN with my own eyes--that is what I consider a good result are done by Dr's. (IU), Spear(GU), and Dr. Feng. I will only recommend these doctors. If we all do our part to recommend doctor's work that we are familiar with, between all of us, women will get help.I will not be responsible for recommending someone simply by "hearing" that they're good or a doctor/staff who I feel does have integrity.

Back to Feng---It's true, if we have an issue with any doctor about their policy, we need to direct it to that doctor. I was dishing out constructive criticism about the 1,500 charge, but posting it here is not going to institute change unless Feng reads it so what I should do is alert Dr. Feng's secretary of this concern directly. Perhaps if they are made aware of this concern, they might find it reasonable to institute change in that particular policy.

Questioning policies is good for us as consumers and patients, but the delivery of such questions can be improved. Again, I'm sorry that my posts regarding this issue offended you or anyone else here.Take care.

Hugs,

I accept your apology and just want to say that, in all reality, I do

believe that Dr Feng has a reason she uses this method in her

practice and it is not to be mean or malicious or unthoughtful. She

is extremely busy and extremely booked, unlike many many Dr's she

does not have time to set up surgeries and have patients change their

minds. Now when I had my explant it was not $1500, it was $1,000 and

that money was taken off the total cost of the surgery. It was not an

extra fee. If one is serious about removal, which we all are, then I

don't understand why this is so strange, to me it seemed very

reasonable and I had no intention of canceling or backing out, if I

had I would not have sent that check. I knew that they would change

the date had I needed to, but I also knew that those implants were

coming out and to me it was just like making a down payment on my

health and my future.

In all honesty there are many PS's who are overbilling insurance

companies and I am not naming names but I know for a FACT that one PS

is charging up to $13,000 to insurance companies for her services,

that to me is by far more scandalous than what Dr Feng does by making

sure she is not booking into her busy schedules a bunch of flakes

that are not serious. If your not serious then she is def not the

right PS to see, as she is super busy and not one to waste allot of

her precious time on people who are not serious about using her.

Seems to me she is one of the busiest around, again why you don't

find her spending time on the internet or doing other things other

than caring for her patients. I honestly don't believe with my severe

deformity that I would look the way I do without her skill and care

and yes I very much hope that others will see that in my photos.

If there are so many happy patients of other PS's then I wish these

woman would share their photos and include before implants with and

after so that we can honestly see what they looked like along the way.

Oh and for those with silicone you have to realize we are dealing

with a much different situation with regard to paying for explant.

Silicone implants are often medically necesary to remove. My implants

were only 18 months old, the only Dr willing to remove them without

money up front was the guy who put them in, and he would not do a

lift. I would not remve the implants without a lift as I went into

the implant surgery knowing in reality I really needed one to begin

with. I was trying to save money, very foolish of me.

anyhow enough is enough, there are some nice pics on this site, and

to those women that is fabulous, but many of them had a lot more

breast tissue than me, so I feel that as a very thin woman with

hardly any tissue, only skin, I am a really good example of what can

be done with a talented PS. There is NO WAY that I would have come

out righ with anything but that special vertical lift. I know this

because I was a mess of excess skin.

anyhow, it is everyones right to chose who they feel happy with, but

to critisize one ps over and over again who has done nothing but help

thousands of women is really rather cruel.
