It was all out in plain view. I never connected the dots. How could I? I was holding the On Sale flyer.
I started with him in spring 2020, when masks were mandatory. I went up three flights in this Greenwich, Ct building. I entered a warren of plain-white rooms. (felt like a CIA black-ops site used for interrogation). Nothing on the walls, floors or ceilings. No furniture normally seen in a medical office.
There were eight white plastic folding chairs (from Home Depot).
I came in holding the discount flyer everyone else was taken by.
I was called into a room where he was, along with three girls/women that were his 'staff'.
Here we were in April 2020 and I was the only person with a mask on- and they (them- the four of them) mask-less. There was no vaccine at that point.
He asked me how much I wanted to spend. He did not ask what result I wanted to achieve.
I gave him a figure, I said $1200. His face drooped. He said " please! Give me something to work with!"
I raised it to $1500.
He then started using a variety of needles that had no description and no product name. I saw no evidence of what I was 'getting'. I was still paralyzed about the lack of masks.
First: there was no initial Novacaine or Lidocaine as a pain blocker (such application is standard)
With each needle finished he threw them on the floor. I looked down, there was a scattered cluster of used syringes. (hmmm, there is the 1996 Sharps Act, a federal law requiring proper and instant disposal of needles). There was also an array of bloody tissues and cotton balls on the floor as well.
When he as done, I asked for the ordinary and customary ice patch or disc. He said " I don't do ice"
My face was black and blue for the next ten days.
I went back to the Greenwich location two months later. And then the White Plains location three times. White Plains is also a sketchy upper floor CIA back-ops site, all white, no furniture, no desk, no phone.
And the same sad cluster of girls that follow him all around. No masks. Ever.
Same result, same effect, same health violations. But I was chasing a Deal and a Sale (that actually WASN'T).
Never a mask.
Never a needle storage bin
Never ice
Never, 'let me take a look at how it looks'.
Only: " give me something to work with, how about $1800"?
None of the fillers lasted like a a REAL place. One that uses Lidocaine, one that puts used needles and bloody cotton balls in a proper container, one that demands you take the ice disc and apply it for twenty minutes.
I now see that his medical licenses have been yanked. Well, do not be deterred. I have sent certified letters to the health commissioners in Hartford Ct and Albany NY with a detailed complaint.
Who knows what Dr. Hannibal Lechter injected into my face. Perhaps I will grow a tail or sprout long canine teeth. What I can say is that whatever I paid for did not last even a month.
