Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I had some surgery by Dr. Ackerman in Orange County and he did an terrible job. He caused lumps and bumps and patches that caused uneven skin and ruined my thighs forever. He also left cuts where he used the equipment. I also had a partial lift and his scars left are crooked and they moved and are unsightly. I went to him because of all the publicity he drew to himself.

He knew I was not cool with the results because it is not what he said it would be. He never said anything could turn out the wrong way because he said he is the best in and out of the country. He flooded me with media hype and pictures and information from magazines and I received calls at my home to make up my mind to use this Doctor. His prices are high and I wish I went to some others I have seen the results of.

They are so much better. I asked him about why my surgery turned out the way it did and that I didnt like it, and he was short with me saying to give it some time. That went on so long that the statue had tolled to file a case for the very bad results. Do not let the publicity a doctor gets or purchses be a deciding factor of your choice. Anyone may buy any publicity.

He was never nice or considerate. Especially after the surgery. I figured I wanted his talent instead of the nicest guy. It turns out that he was neither. He is real good at not taking calls and putting anyone that is not serving his great prurpose of praising him to the can. He did not care about my concerns at all. Not even a little.

The time alllowed to file cases needs extended in California for the reasons I had to wait following his instructions knowing what he was doing. I should have done more instead of just crying. I live hiding myself now because of Dr. Ackerman, and will take a more proactive approach in getting the word and pictures out.

He can use his PR to hide the ugly side of his work, but he cant stop anyone from putting their own website and links to inform the public in their best interests. The mere attempts shout guilty loudly. I dont believe it is too late to make complaints to the board of surgeons, and some other ones recommended to me.

Getting the truth out there is very important so that you dont cause yourself permanent harm by your decision to fall for all this self idolization of a Doctor like this. The good ones do not participate in that. They dont need to because they are so good, they are concentrating on their work and not getting pr every day.

He misrepresents things alot in his life in and out of his practice as accused publicly. He does hide all that he can. I didnt find out things until after my surgery. If you are another harmed person, do something about it and make yourself heard loud and dont give up. I was so upset that I didnt do myself any favors being intimidated by this non talented surgeon.

Hi,

  My name is Jennifer.  Dr. Richard Alan  Weiss of Newport Beach, Ca severely mutilated me.   The reason why I came out with my horror story last year was to let the public know what happen to me.  I don't want anyone to live each day of their lives like I have to with miine.   People aren't aware of what  harm doctors wannabe plastic surgeons can caused to people. In my case physical injuries (tons of ugly scars) and lifetime of depression.  He performed his own type of eyelid sugery on me without my consent.  If Dr. Richard A. Weiss told me the details, I would run out his office and get far, far away from this butcher/sasher.  He didn't let me know of the details involved cuz he used me as an experiment and to train himself on asian eyelids. I was cut up all over the place not just on my eyelid creases.  There are cuts on my eyelids over all the place, to the side of each of my eyes to my hairline, parts of my forehead was also cut and stitched.      I am forever grateful to Complaints board for allowing me to air out my horror story when sites like Yelp.com, makeMeheal, Realself.com and other sites won't.   I posted my story on those three named websites and Dr. Richard A. Weiss had all of it removed cuz he  wants to hide his past crime(s).  It is only on complaints board website  that doctors cannot filter comments.  Dr. Richard A. Weiss don't want people to know about this.  If you see all the ugly scars he placed on my face at age of 27, then you might  think it is done by a monster.

I am also a victim of a very botched comestic plastic surgery.  If Boris Ackerman is not on(((Redacted))), then you are more freely to post the truth about him.  Some doctors are on those sites, but they paid to be on those sites giving advices and getting exposure and advertisements to their own medical practices. I was able to post the truth about Richard A. Weiss of Newport Beach, Ca on Realself.com  Each time, I tried, majority of my comments and stories are removed.  I later found out that Dr. Richard A. Weiss is one of the registered doctors on that site.  Please post what happen to you on as many website as possible.  It is due to our kind hearts that we  must let the general public know  the uglieness of these doctors.

Hi,

   I know exactly how you feel.  Boris Ackerman was one of the surgeons I went to see for comestic plastic surgeries. In the 90's his consultation was free and now I know why some plastic surgeons give free consultations.  If the surgeon is usually very skilled and have lots of experience he usually will charge for consultations. I am not saying all the surgeons that give free consultation are bad, but the chance of of them being inexperience is very high.  I decided not to use him, but I was not smart either. I used Dr. Richard A. Weiss out in Newport Beach, Ca. cuz I saw a one page ad he posted every sunday on the Los Angeles Times. I wanted revision eyelid surgery cuz I got uneven creases with no scars. Dr. Weiss made it seem like an even job to fix the problem for me.  The first surgeon was very conservative and I didn't get any scar from him, except for this super fine hairline scar hidden inside my natural crease liine.  Was I shocked after Dr. Weiss did my revision eyelid surgery in 1992.  He made incisions 1.5 to 2"  outside of my eyelid creases. He stitched my eyeilds super tight along with my eyebrow and parts of my forehead.  I am left with a permanent super puckered eyelid creases and eybrows. I have loads of scars to the sides of each of my eyes. I have deep depressed scars on in my areas and also inside my eyebrow.  People know I obvious had a super botched eyelid surgeries.  My eyelid creases are bumpy and lumpy with zig zag scars.   It is horrible. At age of 27, I looked like I was much older. Now I am in my forties , I look like I am in my late 60's due to my eyes.  This as*hole used me for some kind of experimental  facial surgeries without my consent. I have puckered look on my forehead.  Why would I want ot look like that????????????  I had a smooth forehead and scar free face before I had surgery with him.  why would eyelid surgeries require stitching of the eyebrows and stitching of my forehead??????????????  I went on to this as*shle's website and realize he is offering facial surgeries now when he is an eye doctor.  Please don't fall for his scams like I did.  He advertised heavily back in 1990's and now he advertised heavily on youtube, on some local orange country mag, and on some plastic surgeries site such as realself.  If you want to see my face, I will meet you in person , so you know why I am on the internet to warn people.   I am asian born with double eyelids and seek surgery to remove an extra crease located on the inner part of each of my eyes. My worst nightmare couldn't even be as bad as what actually happen to me.  I live like a hermit since my surgery and I do not socialize much.  People are always staring at my eyes.  Both of my eyes are of different sizes and shape with lots of scars every where. My right eyebrow is 1/4" loer than my left eyebrow due to Dr. Weiss  incompetence and lack of skills.   Boris Ackerman is the same kind of person as Dr. Richard A. Weiss. In fact there offices are near one another. May these horrible evil doctors  be punished for their crimes eternally
