Dr Scott Laker

:thumbdown:First surgery $9,900 out of pocket. which I am still paying for, $11,387.27 second surgery for fixing a port and tubing he "accidentally" puctured. There has been a total lack of empathy and compassion in this matter. He and his staff could not be more indifferent to my situation. I would not recommend this surgeon to anyone. I have spent to date a total of $22,787.27 Which includes my fills to 7 cc all of which are now gone. So here we go again, I get to pay another surgeon (because Dr. Laker has released me as a patient) for the fills all over again, At least I can say this doctor will not get another dime from me. Please watch for my story on Channel 7 action news, 7 on your side has decided to do an interview with me. Run as far as you can from Shannon Maxon and Dr. Scott Laker!

Wow, I am sorry to hear your story. I'd think your Dr would want to be compassionate towards you, and help you during this time. He released you as a patient!? Is it because you objected loudly about the situation?? I can bet the Dr who did my surgery would have fixed the punctured tubing and gave me a fill for free if he had cause the problem. Dr. Ortiz is a good man and I have witnessed him do amazing things with his patients!

Anyway, sorry to hear of your troubles. Post the link to the story when it come out! I'd like to watch or read it!
