Complaint Review: Dr Klaus Hergeshimer - Beverly Hills California

My favorite...well, one of my favorite Bond movies is on Spike TV right now - DAF. My other favorite is OHMSS. "I didn't know there was a poo down dere" -Klaus H.

I refuse to believe any of this toomfoolery! Last year my 8 year old daughter was getting depressed because she was overweight (6'1", 100lbs) and had a small bust (DD) so my brother/husband and I decided to take our daughter to Dr. Hergeshimer to perform a bust augmentation and a stomach tuck. Now she is a perfectly proportional 9 yaer old, weighing in at 70lbs and has ZZ cups! I couldnt be more satisfied! She is dating the school quarterback and has straight A's! She also won the lottery and I hold Dr. Hergeshimer personally responsible!

I'm sorry to hear that your daughter is having problems. It sounds like the mother has issues."Inherited from my ex-husband's side" Who in their right mind pays for their 17 yeare old daughter to have breast enlargement. I'm sure many women out there would take issue with your "small bust" comment over a C cup. It sounds to me like another bogus lawsuit. Didn't get enough money from your ex-husband? Wonder what he would have to say about this situation.

No one gets their teen a boob job and if she was already a size c that is not a small bust as you refer to it. If you ask me, you got what you wanted and are now just looking for a way to collect a quick buck. What kind on parent and example are you?? I hope you do not get a dime and that the jugde sees right through you and gives something to the doctor instead for all this trumped up crap you brought on yourself. a size A cup is small what were you thinking, That doctor had every right to say to you what he did. Your a nut!!

In order to sue the doctor, you would have to PROVE that he was negligent (or not following the standard of care) in providing a medical/surgical service to your daughter. This would be extremely difficult, the least of which was that a consent was signed mentioning that there are no guaranteed 'results.' The "Standard of Care" does NOT mean that the t**s will look the way you want them to or as you expected them to or as the doctor expected them to. It means that the MD used normal and prudent care in providing a medical service. That is, that he didn't leave a shovel implanted in her body, that he correctly sutured the site, that seh safely recovered from the anesthesia, etc etc etc. Second, what are the damages? t**s that are too big? Emotional distress? More than likely, those types of 'damages' are capped and most attorneys won't take on a costly lawsuit in order to recover a 'capped' amount of money. It takes way too much money to just take the case to court. Also, sorry to say this, but the facts of life are this: There aren't going to be any judges or juries who are sympathetic to your daughter's "E" cup instead of the "D" that she hoped for. Unfair as it seems, it is the reality. In addition, what you may not realize, is that if your daughter has a low self esteem (from whatever), imagine what she will feel like in a courtroom, exposing pictures of her breasts to a room full of strangers, many of them men. I say to approach the MD and try to work out a way to 'fix' the 'boob problem'....he isn't there to fix all yours and your daughter's problems...that is yours and your daughter's job.

No, I did not watch an episode of "ER"; I am a Family Nurse Practitioner, which though I am not an M.D., I hold a Master of Science in Nursing and undertook the specialty training needed to go from being a Registered Nurse to a Nurse Practitioner. I have been in the medical field for over 20 years, six in oncology. And before any comments about a young woman being unable to get breast cancer are made, we had one patient who was 24 when diagnosed (also had breast implants at a very young age)and passed away at 26. Early detection may have saved her. I also cannot tell you how many women with implants were detected too late to save their breasts and then had to have implants after a radical mastectomy for reconstructive purposes. What, by the way, does the male prostate gland have to do with a young woman getting implants?

I took my daughter to Dr. Hergeshimer about 6 months ago, The only difference was my Daughter also needed a tummy tuck. Granted she was a bit on the overweight side (5' 2'' 125 lbs) but Dr. H said that she was an excellent candidate for the surgery, and boy was he right! Now My daughter has a nice C-cup chest, and a flat tummy. All of the girls in her class are green with envy, not to mention the boys (she is going to the prom with the quaterback!) Dr. Hergeshimer was very professional the entire time, explaining the procedures and answering any questions that might have come up. I have a hard time believing that he would have yelled at you in his office like that. I'll admit he is a little strange, he listened to a cassette of the "world's greatest marches" while examining the my daughter and throughout the surgery. Marge, you should give your daughter a chance to get used to her "upgraded" body. You might be surprised at what it can do for her.

Marge, I assume that this Dr. H. is a licensed physician in your state. As such, I will assume that he discussed with you and your daughter the possible long-term health and emotional consequences of this augmentation along with the short term discomforts of this procedure (pain, swelling)BEFORE THE SURGERY.If he failed to do both those things, he had already failed you as a physician. As with any seller of a service or product, the surgeon should be expected to perform as he promised and deliver what he promised. If he showed you "Befores and Afters" you, as a consumer, have the right to expect that the result would be comparable. Sorry, all you sanctimonious folks; this IS a consumer ripoff site, not a forum for moral and ethical judgements. Go to church for those discussions or move to the enigmatic Tupper Lake!

What a bunch of sanctimony you have elicited, Marge! Not a single person understood the fact that you were ripped off! They'd rather tell you how to run your life. To the retard from Miami: you have a lot of guts saying that Hollywood is a land of "fake make-believe". That's the pot calling the kettle black! If LA is full of people with fake b***s, Miami is chock full of lounge lizards who stick cucumbers down their pants! Open your eyes! And to the breast cancer "expert": who gives a s**t? You don't hear guys b***h about prostrate cancer! She's a teenager for God's sake! I guess you just finished watching an "ER" rerun and wanted to share what you learned. Get off the couch and get a life!

Sorry, Mom, but you are truly nuts for allowing your daughter to get a breast surgery done at her age. A "C" cup isn't small breasted, unless you are living where you are living, which is the land of fake make-believe and phoney b***s on virtually every female walking around. Why don't you move somewhere where your daughter isn't going to school with Bay Watch wannabes and child actors? There are real problems in the world, without being so myopic as to encourage your daughters self esteem inferiority complex by buying bigger b***s. Oh, your husband needs a kick in the a*s for helping his daughter in this way also. Planet Hollywood indeed. Hopefully your daughter will petition the court to become an emancipated minor, so she can get away from you two screwballs.

Do you have any idea how many times over the years that I have had to deal with breast cancer patients, many terminal, who could have probably beat the cancer had it been able to be detected earlier? Breast implants (including the saline)block adequate visualization mammographic views. The implants block the tiniest of lesions in regular breast tissue that could be seen VERY early on mammography, but are only detected in patients with breast augmentation much later. An Ecklund view (a specialized view for implants)in mammography are not always helpful. A "C" cup is quite adequate. God help your daughter if her self-esteem hinders on cup size.

Your daughter needs love, encouragement, support, advice, etc. not big t**s. Now that she has them she probably needs even more love and support. What if she decides she has an ugly nose, you gonna buy her a new one? Why didn't you have her talk to some of her paternal relatives with small breasts to see how they coped. Did you try any kind of counseling at all? $5000 could have paid for quite a bit. If you've raised her to be so self conscious about breast size you best watch out for eating disorders also. My suggestion is to have them removed and get her some emotional help. As for your beef with the Doctor. Take your proof that he promised a smaller size to a lawyer. Sometimes just a letter from a lawyer can get action. Good Luck -Both of You

anyone who subjects a daughter to a boob job when she is still a few years away from 18-19 years old is the one who needs to see a Doctor. Just my opinion of course. But I pray the Judge tells your ... tells you the same thing.
