Untrustworthy, Doesn't Care What His Patient Wants 4/16/2012

You might not get what you think your getting - be very careful. I went to Dr. David Buchanan for a simple rhinoplasty. Very minimal changes were needed. I paid full price for a ""standard rhinoplasty"" and ended up coming out with a minor tip revision. I was completely devastated to have gone under knife for 1/3 of what we had discussed doing. He said I should be thankful for what I got, but he'd do a revision surgery to alter the bridge and cartilage like we had originally agreed upon. Three months later I paid more money, went back under anesthesia - only to have him tell me after I came out of surgery that during the operation he decided that I didn't need the work done. He betrayed my trust by allowing me to believe he would do his best to improve the areas in which bothered me, and took it upon himself to not even try. I obtained copies of both the operation notes and I was right - he didn't do any of things that we had discussed prior to both surgeries; with no medical reason not to. For a doctor to make his patient feel guilty for something that he chose not to do is completely unethical. Things like this border on the ""services not rendered"" lawsuit claim. more
