Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD, should have stayed in dentistry, if he was ever any good in that profession. As for his upgrade to plastic surgery, his ability in the operating room makes me wonder if he paid for his MD.

Dr. Barry L Eppley performed a rhinoplasty and breast implants on my wife last year, leaving her disfigured in body and in a state of emotional hell. At first we thought he was sincere when he claimed to understand her devastation. But as time went on, he and his office staff lost their phony demeanor of concern and did everything except hang up on us outright.

Dr. Eppley's outright denial of my wife's horrible results was the last straw. We contacted a few attorneys last week and met with one we respect. We are not the type who run to lawyers without good cause, but this guy is begging to be sued.

Since this happened, I now see other patients who have had a bad deal from Eppley. My wife said she checked the Internet before going to him and even asked him about the bad reviews she found online. She said he explained that one disgruntled, crazy patient was responsible for all the bad reviews sounded convincing. I knew as soon as he opened his mouth that he was too slick to be truthful.

Let this be a warning to husbands (and others) to go with your wife to the very first meeting with any doctor and never let her keep any appointment without a relative or friend present. If they are all like this bastard, the patient needs to have someone present at all times as a witness, and in Eppley's case that isn't enough.
