Re: Need doctor referral in S. Florida/Pamel Rosen's office NO HELP

[Guest guest]

Well, I do not recommend Dr. Pamela Rosen. Her office told me she can't help me !! ...and was very matter of fact about it...almost to the point of being rude. My exact wording was in a request for appointment to remove my saline implants and for treatment for any mold or bacteria that might be present. The receptionist put me on hold and then came back to tell me that Dr. Rosen said, for mold treatment I would have to call the University of Miami. So I explained to the receptionist that she (the receptionist) had jumped way too far ahead of the explanation for what I needed was to see Dr. Rosen first-- to schedule an appointment for getting the implants and capsules removed because I was having health problems to get these taken out and that IF fungus or mold was present then surely this is something the doctor would address at the time and give me whatever referrals were necessary. So she puts me

on hold again and comes back to tell me that Dr. Rosen says she can't help me!!!!. THANKS FOR NOTHING, Dr. Pamela Rosen. Guess I'll have to pick another doctor on the list that's 300 miles away from me.Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: Deb, Here's the Florida docs from our list.

To my knowledge, Dr. Kolb is the only doctor who will address fungal issues. You're on your own with the others. It's hardly worth mentioning because most of them will balk every time. check Dr. Kolb's website , , , www.plasticos.com . . . You can learn a lot even if you don't use her.

Thanks Rogene, now that I've thought about it, how could saline not get fungus or mold at 98 degree temperatures year after year...it defies the laws of nature for these NOT to get mold.Rogene S <saxony01 (DOT) com> wrote:

The news has been strangely silent on the dangers of saline implants . . .I could go on and on about it - but I won't.

I'd suggest looking this site over thoroughly . . you'll be up to speed in no time!

I'm afraid that the money interests associated with breast implants haven't been looking out after your interests!

Hugs and prayers,

Thank you so much...i'm anxiously awaiting their email. I'm still in shock that I had no clue about saline being a problem until yesterday... I thought I kept up on the news, but apparently I've been so caught up in my job over the last several years that I missed it.

Debbie,

Welcome!

You're in the right place! . . . I've forwarded your message to a couple of our ladies in florida.

Regardless of who, where your implants are removed, be sure to confirm that your doctor will commit to doing the "en bloc" procedure if at all possible - and if not , doing a complete capsulectomy. Very important for recovery!

There's lots of info in the archives -

I have a broke arm, so I'm not typing much , , , but stick around. You'll learn what you need to get your life back here!

Hugs and prayers,

Deb . . . I feel that we're threatening to some doctors . . . They may know, but they don't want to acknowledge the problem. As long as the practice medicine that conforms to the AMA's "standard", they're safe - even if we're dying. If they adknowledge the problem publically, they can bring the AMA down on them . . .and may end up spending their time in court as witness . . . And we know that's not the way to make $$$$. Just my opinion. Rogene deb marie <debmarie007@...> wrote: Now I guess I'm learning what this is all about and seeing that we are really all on our own and therefore the purpose for this website. After this disappointment in not getting an appointment to a doctor who is so close to home, I did, however get an appt. today for the doctor up in Melbourne, but it's not until January 5th. Was wondering why these cosmetic surgeon's balk when they hear the word mold...presumably because of getting into a law suit with the mfgr. or do they balk because they want to keep making $$$$ on implants? I did think that perhaps getting a regular MD who would have my health interests at heart might be an option...they fight disease and hopefully wouldn't have an interest in doing implants. a regular MD could remove

these but they aren't but they aren't board certified. ..well never mind...I guess that's playing russian roulette with the cosmetic outcome, it's bad enough to be flat again, worse yet to have major scarring... Rogene S <saxony01 > wrote: To my knowledge, Dr. Kolb is the only doctor who will address fungal issues. You're on your own with the others. It's hardly worth mentioning because most of them will balk every time. check Dr. Kolb's website , , , www.plasticos.com . . . You can learn a lot even if you don't use her. Rogene deb marie <debmarie007 > wrote: Well, I do not recommend Dr. Pamela Rosen. Her office told me she can't help me !! ...and was very matter of fact about it...almost to the point of being rude. My exact wording was in a request for appointment to remove my saline implants and for treatment for any mold or bacteria that might be present. The receptionist put me on hold and then came back to tell me that Dr. Rosen said, for mold treatment I would have to call the University of Miami. So I explained to the receptionist that she (the receptionist) had jumped way too far ahead of the explanation for what I needed was to see Dr. Rosen first-- to schedule an appointment for getting the implants and capsules removed because I was having health problems to get these taken out and that IF fungus or mold was present then surely this is something the doctor would address at the

time and give me whatever referrals were necessary. So she puts me on hold again and comes back to tell me that Dr. Rosen says she can't help me!!!!. THANKS FOR NOTHING, Dr. Pamela Rosen.
