David Ross – Bayside Plastic Surgery

I had gynecomastis surgery with Dr Ross and the results were very unsatisfactory. When I had a consultation with my concerns he demonstrated a very dismissive, uncaring, rude approach. He advised it will sort itself in a year and to go away. This is despite skin virtually sticking to my rib cage, too much fat being taken out and not enough glandular tissue removed and unexpected scaring that extended the chest wall and a very uncomfortable sensation. I was totally shocked to find that Dr Ross scared my chest wallextending far beyond nipple area, as almost all modern day gynaecomastia surgeries make incisions around the nipples only with very minimal scaring. I am now unnecessarily scared for life thanks to Dr Ross and his very bad work.
Dr Ross of Bayside Plastic Surgery did not solve the gynecomastia and created contouring problems by sucking all the fat from my chest and not removing the glandular tissue. I have since undergone further surgery involving fat grafts and further glandular excision to try to fix the problems. And will need to undergo even more surgeries. I had a very poor experience and Dr Ross still to this day does not want to admit any fault or problem with his work despite other surgeons opinions. Be sure to read all the other reviews on the internet regarding Dr Ross, there appears to be a pattern of this.
Also I experienced very long wait times for consultations with at least a 1 hour wait over scheduled consultations and the day of surgery I had to wait 8 hours.

I’ve known Dr. Ross for over 5 years and have always found him to be very thorough and approachable. Dr. Ross will take the time to answer all of your questions and be sure that you are left better educated on whatever procedure you are looking to do.

I sought a minor chin augmentation from Dr Ross. He apparently affixed the implant 1.5cm off centre (according to the hospital report written by the removing surgeon). The implant caused multiple complications including, but not limited to:
1. my lower face being twisted out of shape (increased projection on the left side) and;
2. one of the arms of the implant pushing out my cheek, causing the skin to tent.
Despite multiple pleas to remove the implant at my 5 day post surgery consultation, Mr Ross refused. He would only see me around 2 weeks later, despite my calls to his office reminding them of the complications and my desire to have it taken out as soon as possible. I was advised if it were to be taken out, I would have to pay further fees.
Even though the implant and/​or my face appearing crooked and Dr Ross noting this in my medical file as «looks uneven», he wrote to my GP and said the implant was «certainly sitting in position» and that I was «psychologically upset», and that in time he hoped I would become more «accepting» of the outcome which he felt had achieved my «stated goals». Mr Ross says he was referring to my ‘swelling’ apparently being «uneven». Take a look at the photos on my blog — isn’t the crooked implant with the arm of it protruding out my cheek obvious? I am incredibly concerned Mr Ross does not appear, in my opinion, to be able to tell the difference between soft tissue swelling and a clearly crooked implant with the arm of it sticking out of his patient’s face! (If Mr Ross’s reference to uneven ‘swelling’ is to be accepted).
While recently seeking recovery of out-​of-​pocket costs from Mr Ross (which he does not admit liability for), I found his office did not provide part of my medical file when I first requested a copy some 1 – 2 years earlier. The section they did not provide were notes written by his secretary, confirming my calls to his office concerned about the procedure and the requirement to have it fixed. Mr Ross is denying there was anything wrong with his procedure. He says the other surgeon is wrong and it was not off centre. He states the other surgeon simply wasn’t busy and wanted my money and took advantage of me.
Not only was part of my medical record not provided, I also found Mr Ross altered the medical record evidence! The Medical record was altered by him to say I was in fact the one concerned over the «uneven» nature of my appearance, rather than Mr Ross confirming in my record HIS belief that my appearance was «uneven». He changed the record in a way which destroyed the original meaning of the entry and created a new meaning, effectively eliminating the original written record which confirmed HE recognised there was an issue with my appearance.

Please note particulars regarding the withholding and alteration of medical records has yet to be posted on my bog, as these events have occurred only recently.
