I went to this dr in feb of last year to have smart lipo on my lower abs.He told me I had a hernia in my bellybutton and would not do lipo until it was fixed as it was too dangerous.The laser could puncture my internal organs.I asked him if I had another hernia on my c section scar where there was a hole inside my muscle.He felt it and said no.I had the bellybutton surgery and then the lipo.At my first follow up I was concerned about a goose egg shaped lump on my lower abdomen directly where the hole I brought to his attention was.He brushed off my concern by telling me it was swelling and fluid and would go away.At every follow up it was still there big as ever.I was not happy with the way it looked so I asked for a revision to that area which he charged me 1, 000 .He again did vigorous liposuction on that area and sent me home.At follow up there it was again no change.He stuck a needle in the area to asprate fluid and nothing came out.He told me he would do one more procedure and that would have to get rid of the lump.I went home and at follow up there it still was.I was very concerned as My rt side was smooth and my lt side was lumped up which flattened when I leaned back and popped out when I stood up.He looked at it and said that is a hernia you need to go get that fixed somewhere else.I was livid.& months of wasted trips and money and lies.He claims that He did not call it a hernia but a weakness in my wall which is a hernia.I turned him into the med board and they investigated him for 6 months and are bringing him before the board for what he did.I had to go out and find a competant dr to fix my hernia who was alarmed dr sharma could not diagnos it montha ago as it was an obvious hernia.He doe s not stand behind his work as he thinks to this day I am wrong even though I have my chart notes with hernia written it it.He claims it is my opinion only even though I have been through a second hernia surgery in a year.He has been doing general surgery for 24 years and recently began doing smart lipo so he does not have enough experience to notice a complication like this .But to have him deny what he did and try to lie and cover it up is disgusting.Cosmetic procedures are supposed to make you look and feel better not put you througha year of greif.My lipo results look horrible as a direct result of his carelessness and negligence.His office is also dirty and he is arrogant and rude.Please be careful as he is a jekyll and hyde character.
