First i contacted Dr.Reed via e-mail to represent to him my case and to ask if he will be able to help. He is pretending to be a genital surgeon and since i have a little piece of scar tissue on my penile skin that i wanted to be removed i decided to contact him for help.He answered my e-mail almost immediately and me and my wife were so impressed because usually the doctors are busy people and we tought it will take a number of days untill he answer.In his e-mail he said he can help but for more information i have to sent him 200 dollars for phone consultation.My first bad impression was  when i asked his secretary can i send a personal check she said is much better to be a money order.So i send money order and the doctor called me.The consultation lasted no more than 3 minutes,and doctor was very polite and nice on the phone.He said my surgery is not a big deal and advised me to call Ann -his secretary to schedulle the surgery.
Next day i called her and she schedulled me immediatelly no matter the fact that they pretend to be very busy and there is no openings avaliable.In order to keep the date for the surgery however she said i have to hurry with sending the deposit wich is 50 % of the price he give  you on the phone without even see you.In my case the deposit i sent is 1750.00usd.Again no personal checks(because they are easy traceble) but money orders.I didnt feel very comfortable someone to rush me like that but because this scar is very painfull i just sent the deposit to book the date.Mistake!
In couple of days his secretary -Ann contacted me to let me know they got the money and she told me to expect some papers on the mail that i have to sign and send back to them.
The letter they sent me was actually the so called"Arbitration Agreement"that simply ask the patient to give up his/her rights to keep the doctor responsible or to sue him in case he injure the patient.
I was keep reading and i couldnt beleive my eyes what this doctor asking the patients to do!!!This is absurd.Then i relalize that probably there is so many injured patients out there who want to sue him and i started browsing the web .Believe me people i found a horror stories about this doctor.He injured so many people permanently , he ruined so many lives he damaged so many bodies.And all these people were rushed and forced to sign this agreement that taking away their rights to sue him and to keep him responsible for his malpractice.The patients even can not take a copy of their files without paying additional fee.One of these cases actually i found in ripoffreports.com.
I was keep browsing the net and keep finding terrible stories about injured people, so i decided to give up the surgery.I didnt feel comfortable to go to this individual who is pretending to be a genital surgeon.I sent him e-mail to ask my money back but  he didnt answer.In his website he said the deposit is nonrefundable,but he dont have any link to this arbitration agreement so the patients are not clear what kind of documents this doctor is going to ask them to sign.Even more i didnt sign any financial agreement with him.Just because he posted in his website the deposit is not refundable it doesnt mean he can freely steal money.
Everybody said that he/she was rushed to sign the papers just before the surgery without giving the patients enough time to read them.I heard about a lot of people who wanted to give up after seeing the arbitration agreement but they have already pay so much money so they were traped-nobody wants to lose money.
And then the door to the hell get opened.Go ahead and read the other story posted in this site and you will understand what i am taliking about. This doctor is a simply criminal.He is injuring people because he is probably not able to do the job.And he is stealing large ammount of money from the people who paid the deposit but then give-up the surgery, pretending the deposit is not refundable.But before say the deposit is not refundable why he doesnt show in advance this arbitration agreement -because no one is going to go for any service there.He asking the patient to sign it and then  making lab rats out of them.This is so disgusting!!!If there is any lawyer or injured patient who wants to see the agreement i will gladly provide a copy.I contacted him a couple of times to request my deposit back but he is not answering anymore.I will go ahead however and will fill a smal claim court  and will sue him and i really hope that the justice will win.I have been to so many hospitals and i never have seen such an absurd document.Everybody shoud be responsible for what he/she is doing ,especially doctors.
Primum non nocere(lat)-First do not damage-this is how the Hypocrattus oath states, but obviosuly so called DR.Redd forgot it long time ago.

Dr. Reed and Staff are excellent!

AUTHOR: Dana - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, April 11, 2015

I had surgery by Dr. Reed in 2014.

I signed the paperwork about doing arbitration if there were ever any issue.  The paperwork is just standard, and I had as much time to read it as I needed.  There was no 'rush' by the staff to get me to sign it.

My surgery went perfectly.  Sure there is pain involved.  The person who filed the above complaint was whining about pain.  I was well aware that there was going to be pain involved.  i did not have any help while I was in Miami so after surgery I had to drive to Walgreens for medication and snacks.

The out come of my surgery was much better than I had ever imagined.  

Dr. Reed and staff made my life so much better!

Dana

i am 26, and i am a patient of DR Reeds! im currently in miami in a hotel recovering from SRS. its my 5th or 6 th day! and im feeling pretty darn good! n e way, i feel like i need to help dr reed out! clearly he is old as dirt so going online isnt his thing! you people you to READ! before you write silly things that can harm a professionals rep! both of the rip off reports for reed claim he is a BUTCHER! and he injurys ppl but NEITHER of you have had surgery by him! y are we fabricating a title to make it seem more serious! NON-REFUNDABLE means U NEVER GET YOUR MONEY BACK! not even if u fail to read, stupid! it doesn't mean u can beg and then u get your money! lmao SO STUPID! 2nd you claim he RUSHES ppl into signing a d**n arbitration paper! WHAT SURGEON doesnt require it???? and i know for a FACE ms ann, Dr reeds second hand mails out ALL PAPER WORK! including that d**n arbitration so the LIE about rushing you is retarded! you ppl are crazy! and im in bed mad as hell! you don't make up things about ppl just because you fail to read before sending your money! its not DR REED'S job to read to you like ur illiterate! 

i will agree that DR REED isnt the most sensitive DR i've met! i've been working my way to get my SRS with DR reed since 2009!!!! and he has ALWAYS communicated with me! always! but he is not sensitive about your private areas! in the examination room he grabs your p***s and handles it like its dead! i've been in my hotel for 4 days and he comes every morning! and its nice to have that service but DR REED is an old man! and he makes old man comments! which can make someone upset! but i'll trade that for get work n e day!

all im asking is for ppl to report FACTS! and not FEELINGS! before having surgery you idiots made me scared because i sort of believed you!!! you have to be responsible and understand that others will read wtf you read! so STOP LYING! if it didnt happen stop lying on ppl! D**N!
