I wouldn't let Serota operate on my dog. He darn near killed my wife. He perferated her lower bowel during Lipo-suction. I understand "these things happen" any surgery has its risks. It was the after care that was almost lethal. Over the next 12 days he told us "every thing was fine" 3 separate times, even though my wife looked 7 months pregnant with a distended belly. After the third post-surgery appointment and my wife getting sicker and sicker, I took her to our family doctor. He said "Do not go home. Go strait to the ER. Something is VERY wrong." She spent the next 10 days in the hospital. The infection was so bad it was pushing on her diaphragm making it hard to breath. The hospital drained 3 1/2 liters of goo out of her belly the first time and 2 liters the second. I spent the next 3 months giving her IV's at home through a pic-line twice a day. He misdiagnosed her 3 times.The hospital Docs said, another couple days and she would have died. It was a nightmare.

Dr. Serota did my breast augmentation surgery. After 4 kids, I thought my body would never be the same. GHowever, Dr. Serota far surpassed my expectations. I've grown a new sense of self confidence since my surgery, that impacted my life in such a positive way, and I can't thank him enough!
