I was listening to K-Love 107.5 FM on my way to work when the radio announcer (Argelia Tilano) recommended Laser Shaping Centers for lasic liposuction. The radio announcer had mentioned that she had the procedure done to herself, and had given her great results!
Stupid me, decided to give it a try. Since I got the phone number from the radio announcer, I trusted that it was safe so I called and made an appointment on April 25th, 2008. I spoke to Nora Madik- Consultant and she gave me their prices and told me that I needed to take care of my tummy and lovehandles. She even offer me a 20% discount since I had mention that Argelia Tilano recommended them! DESCARADA! I made the first payment $3,000.00 and Nora Madik said they will call me back for my surgery date. I was given my surgery date for July 9th, 2008. I was also sent to Quest Diagnostics. I was referred there by Physician-Anise Adams for blood work and now I owe $600.00 for something that I didn't need to have done after all!
I received an automated call on June 30th, 2008 stating that they have cancelled all pending appointments and they will contact me via mail to refund the money. I have tried to contact them with no success. I went thru my bank to get more information, all I got was that the money was deposited to Aesthetic Network Association. At this point, I do not know how to get my money back!

Employees Got Ripped Off Too

AUTHOR: Upset - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, July 22, 2008

As a former nurse at this company, I find it ironic that of all the staff to attack, you would chose the physician that is the largest patient advocate there (Dr. Adams).
The clinical staff were contracted to provide medical services, not the financial aspects of the contracts that you signed.

None of the concerns you seem to have are with the quality of medical services provided, the doctors or the nurses or the MA. You have problems with the business management, namely President and CEO Kent Takemoto and Andy Carpiac, as well as the VP of Operations Alina Abkar and the VP of sales Roseanne Hecht. These are the people you should look at. They controlled the money.

The employees of this company, myself included, worked very hard for long hours and they fired us wthout any notice in the middle of a work day. They owe us thousands of dollars in PTO, wages and benifits. They aren't even offering us COBRA health-care benifits. And no one can seem to get a hold of them.

From what I hear they have filed for bankruptcy protection, so it seems none of us will be getting our money. Hey, at least you have a job and healthcare benifits for you and your family.
