1800beyourbest, Doctorsaysyes.com, My Choice Medical, Etc. Mislead, lack of competence, bad service/ethics, wouldn't refund money for services not received! Stroudsburg Pennsylvania

This post is based on my horrible experience with the "my choice medical" company. I would not recommend their services even if I hated you. First off when I called the 1800beyourbest.com website was different and could have been held for false advertising becaue they did not clearly indicate that you save 1000 for each procedure only if paid in cash or credit not through their financing plan. So if you finance not only do you pay financing interest but then an extra 1,000. It did however mention the small operating room fee and that there were no gimmicks. Well the Breast Aug. was 2999 pre-fee and if you got the 1,000 off. You pay 500 for a consult which they wouldnt give back but if you go ahead with the procedure it gets applied to it. So the real cost of the procedure ended up being around 4,999 except that Dr. they sent me up with (note theres few options in each area) works out of a house with an operting room within (shady as hell), the guy was very unfriendly barely uttered a word just took a picture and I was warned prior that he was very particular and did things only one way, his, or wouldn't do it.

#1. He refused to discuss the size you wanted but said he'd goes as big as would look good/ more natural and proportioned in his opinion. #2. He would only do an incision in the armpit. #3 he would only place the implant above the muscle. #4 he would only use textured implants. What a good doctor huh. So why did I still consider it...timing, lack of money, and my first credit card. The company promised no extra fees besides the operating room cost. However, this doctor forced the textured implant which happened to cost a $1,000 extra. I nervously signed a contract with the amount around $4,999 writen in which the company rep. had explained and broken down for both me and my mom. I gave my credit card paid the $1,000 down added to my $500 and financed the rest. One week before my procedure i received a call reminding me of day of specifics and bringing up that on my contract the rep had made a mistake writting in the amount I agreed to. And that I would need to pay another $1,000 before the procedure since I chose to finance it. This was the first I heard of this, and I wasn't coming up with another grand in a week never mind for a procedure in a shady location in a way I wasn't happy with and a company that wasn't running an ethical practice. I canceled my surgery. However, they would not give me a refund whatsoever. They kept all 1,500 and said the only way I could get it back would be to use it through them for that or something else. I of course fought this since it was their error, but since it mentions the 1,000 in the fine print they wouldnt return MY money. Even though the amount was not broken down to demonstrates its absense. The rep. had even told me my monthly payments but NEVER mentioned this extra 1000, to me or my mom. Losing that money and the disappointment/anxiety it put me through had me going to couseling soon after I was a wreck only 19 and completely taken advantage of.

To deal with it I decided after months to use it for something else and they agreed to let me use it for laser hair removal since I didn't want anyother procedure with them. They made me a consult appointment a couple hours a way, but when I went that office had never been notifyed, given my paperwork, or asked to do the laser procedure which was not in their agreement. I had spoken to two reps. confirming that this exchange was possible, I couldn't believe it. I broke down in the office, yet another time mislead and another mistake and still they refused to refund my money!!! The surgeon was even mad they wouldn't. The company instead repeated I could use it on something else or see if another surgeon would do it but this one told me it shouldnt be done on females faces cause it can become worse, so that option was out and I hated the company they shouldn't beable to force you to do buiness with them when they are incompetent, never mind pressure you into other surgeries.

Months later I decided ok maybe I would do a lip injection because they had mentioned they could make that arrangement like the laser, but I didn't really want it/need it but again just so distraught about the money and my wasted time and figured it could be an improvement. They blew me off on the phone said they'd call me back and find out, never did. And they never responded to multiple emails. I really just wanted my own money back it wasn't like I had the procedure and wanted a refund I wanted my money back for services I didn't receive that were presented to me falsely, with poor customer service and lack of competence. They in no way earned that 1500 and in many many ways cost me much more than that including the interest on the credit card.

There are soooo many better options if you're going to pay around 6000, get it done how you'd prefer it after research and doctor's advice, dif. ways work better for dif. people, get it done in a medical office building or hospital not a house, and make sure you doctor makes you comfortable. Do not use my choice medical or any of their services under other names!!!! There is a reason they have to go under so many names. I was very ripped off, I hope that if you were considering them, I might have saved you from being ripped off too.
