As of May 2008, I decided to have a Tummy Tuck / Surgery done for myself... A gift for my 40th Birthday that was long awaited after raising a family of three daughters... Which are now in college.
I saved money to get a tummy tuck for which I thought, I could trust a supposedly well known surgeon Dr. David Kaufman, in Sacramento & Folsom California,.. Well apparently due to the fact that my high blood pressure was too high, the doctor & staff decided that I needed to re-schedule my surgery two months away.. Well, due to the fact that my house was just foreclosed on, and I had to abruptly move and get another house, needless to say, I was very overwhelmed with personal issues..

I knew as per my contract, I would lose my deposit of 400.00 to "hold" my date for surgery. As per my contract, that was all I would lose... But, Dr.Kaufman as well as the Accountant took a vacation and stated via email, " We only held back $2, 394... We have discussed this matter at length at the California Society of Plastic Surgeons, because although thankfully this is an uncommon problem, there is certainly precedent - both legally and administratively. I have run this by our practice attorney, and was advised that we were on solid ground - even if we were to withhold the entire fee for surgery. Situations of this exact nature have been heard by the courts, and they have repeatedly sided with the surgeons - in that time is a commodity which cannot be recovered when patients change their minds"...

I DID NOT CHANGE MY MIND... I WAS TOLD UN-TRUTHS BY THE STAFF AS WELL AS DR.KAUFMAN,... As per Dr.Kaufman, he states I have no case...
