| - I was fooled by bunch of fake 5 star reviews for this doctor.
I should start by saying that I purchased a groupon. I don't know if clients without groupon get better care from this doctor, but I was not that lucky.
When I walked in the office, I immediately felt condescending attitude from the blond lady upfront. A strange smirk didn't leave her face for the whole time I was there. At the same time Dr Richards was running back and forth in the office, glancing at me with the same smirk and probably estimating my financial worth.
When I got in the room, a nurse came to numb my face. She asked what areas, and when I told her my thoughts, she said she will numb all of it and then I can decide with the doctor and see if we have enough product.
When Dr Richards came in, I started asking questions that I wanted to get the answers for from a professional. He obviously got irritated and I felt rushed. Then he said he was in the middle of other procedure with other client, so he is in a rush. And then I questioned why I was scheduled for this time if in fact he didn't have time for me.
The conversation with Dr. Richards went in the way of him telling me what can NOT be done and how it's NOT going to work and him constantly questioning if I ever had injections before. I guess if my face wasn't obviously injected and didn't look plastic, then I wasn't his favorite client, where he knew that he could get bunch of $$$ out of me.
After making fun of my questions and my expectations and telling me of everything that can NOT be done, he finally answered my question of what he as a professional recommend. By that time he was in the middle of injecting my face. His recommendation was to inject a full syringe in one side of my face. And since I bought only 1 syringe on groupon, he assumed I would be ok to walk out from his office with injections on one side. He also said, that he ALWAYS injects 3 syringes: 1 on each side and 1 on the lips, I guess, even if the patient like me didn't needed it.
He ended up injecting half and half on each side, after I wanted to walk out in the middle on injecting process. While doing it, he kept mocking me by making remarks, that my lips were uneven and next time I should just go to my regular nurse (as if I asked for his opinion).
By the end his voice tone and attitude changed, he even mentioned that I can come see him in 2 weeks if I had a problem, he asked if I was ok because I seemed frustrated. He probably realized that this review was coming. A little too late.
Even if I don't look plastic, and dress simple, it doesn't mean I have no financial means of taking care of myself. I do everything in moderation to have natural results and still spend lots of $$$ to maintain everything. Dr. Richards doesn't get it. He is money hungry, greedy, he could care less about you or your appearance, all he wants is your cash.
He made a mistake this time. I work with bunch of young ladies and have many friends, who look up to my opinion and value my research on new cosmetic procedures and doctors to maintain good looks. He lost all of these referrals he could have had from me, I'll make sure none of the people that I know would go see him for anything.
