I was a patient of Dr. James Avellini, M.D.
I paid him for a SmartLipo procedure, since that was his self-proclaimed forte.
When I was waiting in his O/R room for an hour recovery, I noticed there was no SmartLipo machine in the room and when I questioned his nurse, she said that he used some other device. I then confronted he told me that he felt a more traditional approach would be better, and that in fact he does have a SmartLipo machine anymore & that I would love the results all the same.
Weeks later after my surgery, I noticed that the fat I had in my abdomen was not only still there, but there was pits indented in my stomach.
When I met with Dr. James Avellini for a post-op consultation 2 weeks later, I told him I was very upset and asked him why do I still look fat & indented! He then proceeded to lie to me & said that I look great & that some patients expectations you just can't please.
I then requested another treatment with the SmartLipo that I signed for or a partial refund. He refused & said that he is finished with me & that he would see me for another post-op in 3 months in which I would see the results I was looking for.
It's been 4 months now & he is no where to be found. I the seen him on MyFoxNy.com known as the "Bothched Laser Doctor", where he burned a patient & left her high & dry! When Fox News got a hold of him they also uncovered that he has been also lying to patients in that he was not a "Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon".
I now know why I can't find him and that I am just one of many with a malpractice suit against Dr. James Avellini, M.D.!
If anyone knows the where-abouts of this "Quack", please post.
Patient Jane.
