I had a bad experience with Dr Jay Calvert. He did a facelift and revision rhinoplasty. His work was horrible. The worst experience in my life. I discussed with Dr Calvert the facelift which he stated that it would be a traditional facelift and the incision would start in the temple area hidden in the hairline. He did the facelift starting infront of the ears to the jaw line. He did not do the temple nor eye area nor upper cheek area. The result of the surgery is the outer corners of my eyes were pulled downward. The scars around my ears are distant from the ears and are very noticeable. He did not even try to make the scars close to the ears (to hide the scars). The revision on the nose was a mistake. One of the nostrils is larger then the other. He did not stitch all the incision that he made around the nostril. So I have an open ended nostril. The stitches on one nostril is much higher then the other nostril. The nose bridge has many lumps. Dr Clavert said that he forgot to file the nose bridge after he finished working on it. I asked him to redo and correct the mistakes that he made. He kept staling and postponing for one year. Then he said that he will not correct it unless I pay. I guess there was a one year deadline. He is incompetent.
Futhermore, I requested Dr Calvert for a nurse to stay with me post-op. He recommended a nurse who stole my pain medications, money fifteen hundred dollars, and cellphone. The nurse is a cousin of his front office staff. One night the nurse gave me double the dose of pain medication pills to sleep and the nurse and her cousin (receptionist at Dr Calvert office) came into my room. Both women uncovered me and undressed me and took photos. They used a flash light with camera. Also the nurse put chemicals on my scars so they would not heal and they turned white. The receptionist pulled on one of my scars and ripped the scar, also she had a medical knief and made little puncture wounds around my nose, also she had a small metal rod and she continued to hit the bridge of my nose. |
