Pope George H

PLEASE READ THIS:
I first meet with Dr Pope in 2006 for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation after having two kids. My husband and I had a few appointments with doctor Pope and he come highly recommended by a friend, and we agreed on a mini tummy tuck and a smaller breast implant.
The surgery was schedule at Florida Hospital in Winter Park, the hospital staff was very friendly and surgery went well. Two days after the procedure my left breast was really swollen and very high compared to the other side. Dr. Pope had left on a trip to Europe right after my surgery so I call the doctor on call to express my concern he told me to ice it more and talk to Dr Pope once he got back. My drain from the tummy tuck got clogged up, and it was extremely painful more so than the surgery it self. I went to the office and not so friendly and gentle Gina, the nurse, removed it and I almost passed out with so much pain, she wasn’t gentle or kind at all.
Making my history short my left implant didn’t drop much and moved almost all the way to the center of my chest. Dr Pope said he would fix it, of course with fees for the anesthesiologist, surgery room (at that point he had his own surgical center) and a bit bigger silicone implants instead of saline. (Silicone implants got approved 1 month after my 1^st surgery).
I had my second surgery and all I got was bigger implants with more trouble, the implants from right and left where so close to the center of my chest and so uneven in shape and size. Doctor Pope said he couldn’t understand why and if he the doctor could figure out neither could I. He offered a 3^rd surgery and this time we would split the cost of the anesthesiologist. I thought to myself «Wow what a deal I am going to have my third surgery take more time away from work and family from mistakes you are making and and I still have to split the cost of the anesthesiologist?»
There was no way I would ever go back to Dr Pope, we moved to California 5 months later and I begin to have severe pain on my ribcage, at that point my implants were almost touching in the center and were very uneven in height.
I was lucky my insurance paid 100% for the removal of the implants. Doctor Miller told us after surgery that the breast pocket, specially the right look really ugly and deformed from inside and that I had stitches attached to my ribs.
I have to say that 8 years later I still have a huge visible dent on my chest and lack of tissue. My tummy tuck did me no good and my muscle walls are separated with a huge gap in between.
If I could look back I would had never picked Dr. Pope and I very much regret not taking him to court for all the money we paid him to damage my body and to take time away fro my kids.
Run from him as fast as you can.
