1. Isn't this the same guy who used care Lube on his patients? If so, he should have had his license revoked. Even done some jail time maybe.

2. What does it take for the medical board [and the State Bar, too] to pull licenses of negligent doctors (and lawyers) ?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is sooo much doctor negligence that goes on that the public never hears about because the medical board doesn't make the info public and they only seem to take action in the most extreme occasional cases with media attention.

Just because a doctor's record does not show any action taken against him/her by the medical board does NOT mean he has not committed negligence.

It just means that self-policing (doctors monitoring doctors) DOES NOT WORK. Proceed with caution, people. And when a doctor does something wrong, REPORT IT, REPORT IT REPORT IT. It will help the next person.

3. This dude even looks like a huge d. bag - where there is smoke there is fire! Just because a dr. is on tv doesn't mean he is reputable - paging Dr. Jan Adams! Shows like this are only going to put people on that will make good story lines - they don't care if they are good docs or not! plus i saw the show and those Dr. Omidi brothers seem like sociopaths and this proves it!

4. As someone, who works in the medical field, I can only warn patients to throughly check out their credentials AND the facilities where surgery is performed. Make sure that the Doc and the surgery facility have been certified.

7. i saw the show with this doctor..... and believe that one is influenced by what they see on t.v. i though "wow seems like a good iranian plastic surgeon...." well i was wrong ... and will never go see any doctor except dr. rey.... although i am not a woman so .... another foreing doctor abusing the oath he took as a doctor..............and this country allows this type of medical crimes that places people in danger... how would you like it if the patient was your sister, your mother, your aunt, your friends..........................and that is what happens ............someones loved one is placed in danger......

8. OMG!!I want to Dr. Omidi's office for a consultation. I hated it! A member of Dr. Omidi's staff (secretly) told me to go upstairs to Dr. Alex Kim's office. What a difference. I ended up having the most perfect breast aug. Dr. Kim even put me on his web site.
It scares me to think of the mistake that I almost made.OMG! OMG!!! Make sure your doctor is certified!

9. I have had lipo and a few other procedures. I can't imagine what I would have done to find out that the doctor I chose was a whackjob D-bag.... I will say, it took me a long time to decide and look into which doctor I wanted to perform on MY body. People think that just because these doctors are on tv that they have all the licensing they SHOULD HAVE. MOST have been found to NOT have the creditials that they should. PLEASE, anyone who is going to get surgery on or for ANYTHING, make sure you truly check out the doctor that is doing it. Take the extra time to google or whatever means you have to do it. I found a GREAT doctor in Annapolis, Maryland. He has actually invented new ways to do some of the procedures that are now done all over the country, and I didn't have to pay those 90210 prices for a fake doc!!! I got the REAL THING! Thank GOD

11. He is certified. That is why board certification means nothing - ethics. morals, and good trining is what matters. This guy is certified and many other certified doctors are in major hot water out there. The first key is to look at training - make sure residency is in plastic surgery, the next is to check that the facility is accredited and that anesthesiologists and not nurse aneshetists are used, and lastly, check with the state medical board to see if they're in any trouble (every state has one).

12. Just because he has talent doesnt mean that he is not a liar. There is no excuse for being a liar. Some people chose to make money over keeping people safe. I'm glad I never let him operate on me.

13. To poster #1, no this is not the same doctor, they just look alike. The ther guy was from Argentina I think!

14. I have had 2 major surgeries with Dr. Michael Omidi, and I must say I am very pleased with his work, his bedside manners, his staff and after care. I had a breast reductin and tummy tuck and I will always be grateful to him for restoring my self-esteem. Its unfortunate that ex-patients take legal actions against a wonderful doctor. Dr.Omidi, my heart and prayers go out to you!! Thank you for all yout help!

15. Juat a look at his last name would give me pause from entrusting my body and well being to him, unless some people I knew and trusted very well knew a lot of good things about him. I have found many people born and raised in vastly different cultures have some ... uh.. let;s call them different interpretations of medicine and procedures. All the docs in my family and friends noticed the same kind of thing, especially in med school. Buyer beware.
