Dr Jay Calvert - Jay Calvert MD - Jay Calvert ruined my face newport beach, California
I had a bad experience with Dr Jay Calvert. He did a facelift and revision rhinoplasty. His work was horrible. The worst experience in my life. I discussed with Dr Calvert the facelift which he stated that it would be a traditional facelift and the incision would start in the temple area hidden in the hairline. He did the facelift starting infront of the ears to the jaw line. He did not do the temple nor eye area nor upper cheek area. The result of the surgery is the outer corners of my eyes were pulled downward. The scars around my ears are distant from the ears and are very noticeable. He did not even try to make the scars close to the ears (to hide the scars). The revision on the nose was a mistake. One of the nostrils is larger then the other. He did not stitch all the incision that he made around the nostril. So I have an open ended nostril. The stitches on one nostril is much higher then the other nostril. The nose bridge has many lumps. Dr Clavert said that he forgot to file the nose bridge after he finished working on it. I asked him to redo and correct the mistakes that he made. He kept staling and postponing for one year. Then he said that he will not correct it unless I pay. I guess there was a one year deadline. He is incompetent.
Futhermore, I requested Dr Calvert for a nurse to stay with me post-op. He recommended a nurse who stole my pain medications, money fifteen hundred dollars, and cellphone. The nurse is a cousin of his front office staff. One night the nurse gave me double the dose of pain medication pills to sleep and the nurse and her cousin (receptionist at Dr Calvert office) came into my room. Both women uncovered me and undressed me and took photos. They used a flash light with camera. Also the nurse put chemicals on my scars so they would not heal and they turned white. The receptionist pulled on one of my scars and ripped the scar, also she had a medical knief and made little puncture wounds around my nose, also she had a small metal rod and she continued to hit the bridge of my nose.

Sad event. Bad luck to run across 2 not 1 bad experience; Dr Calvert botched plastic surgery & butchered by realtor & girlfriend. @ Karen shocked by ur evil response. U commented 3 times on this report. U have invested interest defending the offenders and throwing accusations on other employees. An employee commented offender no longer an employee rather she works as REAL ESTATE AGENT in Orange County. DO NOT ATTACK THE WHISTLEBLOWER. U r attacking victim after she provided proof again & again. U r a bully. U want to attack anything then attack the issues. Oh u can't because of PROOF. Do u think there is ONE Ann or Anna in a city. Crazy, u r defending the criminal & attacking victim. U r brain is fried. @ Ann the victim- obviously criminal is Karen. Staples forgotten n nose. Dr needs eyeglasses & suspension of his medical license. Dr is liable for his employees. @ RIPOFF REPORT- Great website. @ Ann. Cheers. Include Karen n ur prayer - she might get a SOUL. @ Hulahula- agree @ daduff001- disagree. Why should a victim remove/edit/delete their own experiences out of fear & threat of persecution. You suggest censoring reports. While u r at it censor the media & news! Any change to report makes it invalid. Any omission of truth is lie. AGREE WITH RIPOFFREPORT for not allowing reports to deleted or edited. @ employee send me name of realtor through ripoffreport. Do not want to do business with this realtor. Interesting comment- why would woman take photos of undressed woman? Blackmail or lust. Men lust @ women photos. Maybe offender is male. The described heartlessly infliction wounds is not characteristic of female criminal actions rather it is characteristic of male sadistic behavior.

Ok I get you are mad. But you are commenting on your own comment as if it is new. Have you been under a care of a mental health physician for personality disorder? You need help in addressing your handling of issues and your self image. Taking your problems out on someone else who does not deserve it and falsely accusing people is not healthy. I hope you get the care you need to move on in your life and be happy and not at the expense of others.

Many thanks to Ann for speaking out and for the proof. The nurse and her cousin are obviously infatuated with you. Why else would they want to have photos of women. Actually the staff and the other woman are couple and not related. They are sick and disturbed people.
To Dr Calvert. The board should suspend your license.
To nurse & her friend. Get a life and it is ok to come out of the closet. Good luck. It is one thing to admire other and want to look at them. It is wrong what you are doing. Face it you have done very bad things.
I will pray for all.

I can not believe that these individuals who definitely have personal issues beyond their self image feel that making these types of allegations which are so defaming are at all responsible. To accuse his receptionist and her cousin is ludacrist. What dramatic novel are you getting your information from.
I have know these ladies, and Dr Calvert's associates for over 3 years now. I have had 3 surgeries and will be having another one soon. I had a facelift, browlift, eyes done, and chin lift. I then had a bodylift, liposuction, and thighlift. I had my breasts lifted and augmented, as well as had my upper arms lifted. Each surgery was great, no problems and great care and follow up. I want additional liposuction with more of my thigh lifted as well as fat transfer to my face. Dr Calvert's staff are the sweetest and most helpful and caring individuals. I wish all my physicians would have staff that are so dedicated to the needs of the patient.
I do not blame the doctor for suing when these individuals start dragging innocent staff members into their psychotic fantasy. I would suggest to these two individuals to get on with their lives and stop trying to drag innocent people into their dirty, murky little lives. I hope Dr. Calvert continues to stand by his ethics and is not blackmailed by the disgusting defamation to his character, skill and office staff.
One who will continue to be a patient of Dr Calvert and am confident of his skills and caring treatment. To answer your already doubting questions, no I do not work for him, I am not his wife, or one of his 4 little children, nor a personal friend. I am a patient - period - not anything more. I just really feel I have to say something when there is a true injustice and falsehoods being spread about a Doctor who I trust and very much respect.
I hope others will go and see Dr. Calvert for yourself not because I said he is good or because of morbid curiousity. But because you need a GOOD doctor, then I can assure you that is what you will find.
Shame on you ladies. REALLY!

To Ann,
The employee of Jay Calvert and her cousin a retired nurse are extremely jealous. Their aim is to destroy your face because you are pretty and they are ugly inside and outside. All their wrinkles and old age did not give them any wisdom. We have noticed that you are classy and elegant. Do not be bothered with old unwed hags.
You are not the only target of their green jealousy. The criminal is no longer employee of Dr Jay Calvert. The criminal works as realtor in Orange County and uses her work to hurt women. I am finding it hard to explain the following. Here goes: The EX-employee loves women. This is reason for undressing and photos.

I am surprised that Dr hired staff who are bent on destroying his reputation & work. Wondering how many patients of Dr Calvert had their surgeries butchered by his employee. The Dr probably thought that bad results were due to human error and did not realize that employee is behind it. Any other problems such as files messed up or ordering wrong implant or more serious things which Dr dismissed as margin of error or human mistake?Keep your eyes open. Such employee acts as a criminal must have been dismissed from other jobs due to similar bad behavior. Dr Calvert by law you are obligated to report this staff or take necessary disciplinary actions so this distructive behavior cease. Honestly, these types never stop. It is a thrill to them to see others in pain. This employee exhibits the characteristic of psychopath. The employee is in need of help to deal with their mental instability. Hoping that there will be no other victims.

Why doesn't Dr. Calvert give this woman a full refund so she can get it done correctly. THat is the problem with all these plastic surgeons, they think they are above the law because it is elective surgery. Good Luck Ann, and thanks for giving me and others heads up about this Doctor.

Attached is the second document proof that Dr Calvert did the surgery. The document is the release form from the surgery center. As described previously, please note that the caretaker did not write her name rather she scribbled her name and signature. The caretaker (retired nurse), who was hired & refered by Dr Calvert to be the caretaker of the patient, refused to write her name. Note that she scribbled where she is supposed to write her name. I remember that I was being released & the attending nurse requested the caretaker to write her name & sign it. The attending nurse noticed that the caretaker did not write her name and call for her to come back and write her name in the release form. The voices were raised and Dr Calvert walked in & inquired what is the issue. The attending nurse told him that the caretaker did not write her name. Dr Calvert said that it OK and UNDER HIS RESPONSIBILITY. The caretaker's refusal to identify her name in the release form shows bad intentions.

Note on complain: Dr Calvert forgot chunky staple in my nostrils which resulted in a scar. Dr Calvert was too busy to see me post op at his office. His office colleague saw me: he came in and asked if Dr Calvert did the surgery, asked for my name and walked off. He did not check anything.
Reports from the sugery center are attached. One report was dictated by Dr Calvert on the surgery. The other is the release form after the surgery which shows the Dr's name. Pay attention to the release form: the caretaker (retired nurse), who was hired & refered by Dr Calvert to be the caretaker of the patient, refused to write her name. Note that she scribbled where she is supposed to write her name. I remember that I was being released & the attending nurse requested the caretaker to write her name & sign it. The attending nurse noticed that the caretaker did not write her name and call for her to come back and write her name in the release form. The voices were raised and Dr Calvert walked in & inquired what is the issue. The attending nurse told him that the caretaker did not write her name. Dr Calvert said that it OK and UNDER HIS RESPONSIBILITY. The caretaker's refusal to identify her name in the release form shows bad intentions. Names and details have been blocked-out due to confidentiality. Other forms and proofs are available.
I should have went to the Police. I was heavily sedated with medications for many months. Also, the caretaker told me that she and her cousin visited me last night. She wanted me to know who did the criminal act. She added that she and her cousin will come to visit me again also they might come to my house. I was at an aftercare center. How do they know where I live? It was a threat to do more harm at a later date. I was afraid that she will return to hurt me while I was sedated. After I was able to move, I change my room at the hotel. Then I had little mobility and moved to a different hotel. Then I left the state of CA. The damage was not fully visible until swelling decreased. In regard to the money: the caretaker told me that she will only accept payment in cash. She stole the cash and ask to be paid again.
Post Op, the Dr was informed that the caretaker placed chemicals on my wounds and face. But he ignored it. At a later date, I phoned the Dr office and talked to his business Manager and explain what happened. The Office Manager dismissed me and said she that she was busy.
Later I went to a differnt Plastic Surgeon who witnesses the stab wounds around nostrils on upper curve. Also he noted that the tear on the earlobe is clearly a rip. The Dr inquired about a lump near my temple area and I explained that Dr Calvert injected steroid shot in one temple. The new Dr was shocked. It seems that Dr is not supposed to inject steroid needle into the face.
Also the Dr lacks any care or kindness to the patients. At a post op visit, he entered the room with a young girl (less then 20 years old). He said that his nurse is off and this is new stand in nurse. They took turns in laughing at my wounds and writing notes on papers and laughing. Pure adolescent behaviour. Then he looked inside my ear and told his young assistance to take a look inside my ear. He told me that I have proferated ear drum and that I was going deaf. He is surprised that I hear now and I am going to lose all my hearing. I left the room and saw a receptionist and I asked her that the girl is too young to be a nurse. She replied that this teen ager is not a nurse rather she is daughter of one of their female staff. Unprofessional. I went to Ear Specialist and did ear exam. After examining my ear he told me that their is nothing wrong with my ear drum or my hearing. He contact the office of Jay Calvert and ask them. He hanged up the phone and toldme that "Dr Calvert is a Jerk, they just want to rattle you".
I will update this site if there is any case. There will be none. I want him to open the case because I was tricked by them to let time elapse.

I know people will say this is fake I have seen that before. But I personally have had 3 surgeries by Dr. Jay Calvert. I lost over 110 lbs and have had much skin removed on arms, thighs and a complete body lift, face lift, eyeslids, lipo, breast lift and augmentation. I could not have asked for better results or care. Dr Calvert was extremely caring
and interested in what I wanted and how I felt as well as his entire staff. Dr. Calvert was very reasonable for the work that he did and the extensive attention and aftercare I have received. I know I have seen several reviews by a couple of people that seem like personal vendetta's and it is very sad. I would hope that others get the opportunity to experience the quality of service and care that Dr. Calvert provides.

if a person reads the terms of use for Rip Off Report they will see that reviews are NEVER removed, not for any reason. EVER! So, even if a person wished to retract their post, they would not be able to.
I think it's wrong that the person who filed this complaint is being sued by the doctor. They obviously had a terrible experience with the doctor, and now, even if they wanted to remove the review to avoid legal action, they cannot.
The doctor should be careful suing for defamation/libel as this could backfire and expose more problems for him.
Even if the author of the complaint wanted to edit or remove the complaint, it's 100% impossible.

The first part of the report seems fairly lucid like one might expect in a consumer complaint of this type. The second part of the report is incredulous and indicates some significant issues with the writer. What has been described in the second part of the report would constitute criminal conduct were it to be true. Is there any evidence of this alleged conduct? If not, then the writer's report constitutes slander - how would the writer know these things happened if unconscious due to a deliberate over-dose of pain medication? Who takes $1,500.00 in cash with them into cosmetic surgery? Does the writer have photographic evidence of the unhealed scars and alleged chemical burns? Does the writer have photographic evidence of the scars from the knife (not knief) wounds on the nose? How does the writer know of any photographs taken if the writer has not seen them (and, if the writer has seen them, why can't the writer produce them as evidence of criminal conduct). What is alleged in this report is criminal conduct - why wasn't any of it reported to the police? Because of the outlandish and unsubstantiated claims contained within this report, any credibility from the first part of the report is essentially nullified. Writer should be careful of a potential legal backlash by Dr. Calvert which would be entirely justified based upon the ludicrous (and obviously false) nature of these claims. This report should be deleted in its entirety in the absence of any substantiation of the alleged claims.
