I have one very scary story.

I just discovered that in the Phoenix metro area there are 2 Naturopathic doctors that are doing liposuction.

They Arizona Medical Board has no ability to regulate Naturopathic doctors and the Naturopathic board states that Naturopathic doctors are permitted to do any procedure if they receive training. They even stated that a naturopathic doctor could perform brain surgery if they attended a course. The Lipo training these two doctors received was a 48 hour weekend course.

About 18 months ago 2 patients in Arizona died during lipo that in one case was being performed by a Homeopathic doctor and the other by a massage therapists. The patients thought that they were having lipo done by the doctor thats his or her name was on the door of the practice but he had hired these two untrained non-doctors to do the surgery.

There is a very well known doctor in Beverly Hills that uses Physicians Assistants to perform the actual procedure!

So if you check with the medical board and don't find that doctors name listed be aware that they may not even be a doctor at all. If the doctor is listed with the medical board then you still need to ask the doctor if he or she will be the one actually doing the entire surgery or you may end up with a non-doctor operating on you.

Default Dr. Malan, Thank you!

Thanks you for speaking up and getting involved. You rock! I hope that more doctors get really angry about this issue and start to get a backbone and a strong opinion. These shisters need to be oastracized and labeled for the greedy, unethical, dangerous monsters they are!

It's going to take the responsible members of the medical community to stop these offenders. My hope is that those PA's who are uncaringly, willfully (they KNOW they do not have the trainign to do what they are doing) mutilating and harming women, whose pictures appear so smugly on those websites, who earn ungodly amounts of money to stay silent.. that they NEVER EVER are able to work in any medical capacity again for the remainder of their unnatural lives.

Torturing another human being is a crime against humanity. Nazis scientists still exist (those heartless butcher "doctors") and so do their willing, eager, innocent-faced geshtapo (the PA's that work for them and "follow orders" with no moral compass whatsoever). Do not be deceived by a cute face and a friendly grin. These are willfully evil people who care only about money!

More doctors please form an opinon and stand strong against this clear injustice against patients!!! Stop these doctors in your community! Get involved and make a difference so more women are not mutilated like me or murdered!!!

Kellyfish did have the sense to listen to her "gut feelings" which drove her to investigage further... and she discovered her instinct was right. Me - on the other hand - well, I should have done my homework. Thankfully, all I needed was a touch -up and no harm was done to my body. I'm sorry for you truthteller... from your post, you've obviously had a terrible experience.

Default Dr. You KNOW Who!

Apparently for those of you involved in the lawsuits against this doctor, he has been officiallly FIRED BY both of his sets of attornys.

Also please note on his web site that he has all new employees! From what I hear most refused to continue working there knowing what was happening on the inside.

He has now hired a CRIMINAL DEFENSE attorney! And to think, it all began with him trying to defraud me. Now he is getting ready for a long federal prison stay.

The Lacombe doctor or use to be doctor is Paul Nathan. I purchased a Healthgrades report and it states that his license is indefinitely suspended.

Well, now that he's been "outed" Nathan had his license suspended 3 times--in 1996, in or about 2003 & in 2008. The information was available--you just had to look for it.....
