"90210" Doc Disciplined Over Lipo

Michael OmidiA popular doc who has appeared on "Dr. 90210" has been placed on three years probation by the Medical Board of California. He was accused of being "grossly negligent" in treating several patients -- including one featured on the show.

According to Medical Board documents, Dr. Michael Omidi performed liposuction for an episode of the show at a facility that was not accredited, a charge that the Dr. admitted. The docs also claim he didn't properly document the painkillers he administered.

The Board alleged, "Dr. Omidi's use of general anesthesia on this patient with a loss of his life preserving reflexes at an unaccredited outpatient facility is an extreme departure from the standard of care." the physician admitted performing three surgeries using general anestetics.

The Medical Board also said Dr. Omidi used the unaccredited facility two other times and failed to document a prescription for oxycodone.

The Board actually revoked Dr. Omidi's license, but then reinstated it and placed the Dr. on probation.

16. 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.

18. WOW. IT IS AMAZING THAT THE MEDICAL BOARD HAS NOT REVOKED HIS LICENCE AS THEY DID WITH HIS BROTHER.
I ACTUALLY WENT TO THEIR BEVERLY HILLS OFFICE FOR LAPBAND SURGERY. IT'S THE OFFICE THAT HAS THE BIG POSTER OF THE OMIDI BROTHERS WITH TRUMP! SLEAZY!!
NEEDLESS TO SAY I RAN OUT OF THERE AND HAVE THANKED GOD EVERYDAY SINCE!

THEY TRIED TO GET ME TO DO FOOT OPERATIONS WITH THEIR PODIATRIST, BLADDER OPERATIONS... AND THEN WHEN I SAID I ONLY WAS THERE ONLY FOR LAPBAND SURGERY, THEN A DR. JULIAN OMIDI CAME IN THE ROOM AND TRIED TO CONVINCE ME OF BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY!!!
HE'S NOT EVEN A DR.!!!!


MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT THEY ALSO ARE THE SAME AS TOPSURGEONS AND 1800GETSLIM YOU THATS ALWAYS AIRING ON POWER 106 OR THAT THEY ARE THE OWENERS OF THESE COMPANIES.

BUY THE WAY THE MEDICAL BOARD DOES NOT PLACE DR'S ON PROBATION FOR LAW SUITES THEY DO IT WHEN THE DR. HAS DONE THINGS THAT ARE NOT STANDARD PRACTICE OF MEDICINE!

THE OMIDI BROTHERS ARE TOPSURGEONS!!!
BEWARE

19. I HAVE BEEN TO DR OMIDI AND IVE COMPLETELY CHECKED HIM OUT. THE ONLY MISTAKE HE MADE WAS USING A THE CENTER WHILE THE IT WAS BECOMING INSPECTED. HIS CONSULTANTS TOLD HIM THE CENTER WAS READY FOR USE WHEN IT WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS SHY. IT ACTUALLY BECAME FULLY ACCREDITED SOON THEREAFTER WHEN I HAVE HAD MY SURGERY THERE. SO HAVE TWO OF MY FRIENDS. WE LOVE HIM. HE DID MY TUMMY TUCK AND BREASTS. I HAVE TWO FRIENDS ONE WHO DID A LIFT AND ONE DID AN AUGMENTATION. HIS WORK IS SPECTACULAR. HE IS DOUBLE-BOARD CERTIFIED. THINK ABOUT IT, WHY TELEVISE A SHOW IF YOU THINK YOUR CENTER IS NOT ACCREDITED? ITS ADMINISTRATIVE BS. A DOCTOR CAN WORRY ABOUT SO MUCH. HE CALLED ME THE NIGHT OF THE SURGERY AND THE DAY AFTER. I KNOW HE WORRIES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS, BUT THE ADMINISTRATIVE MOUNTAINS I CAN'T EXPECT HIM TO DO. THERE IS NOT ONE THING ANYWHERE ABOUT HAVING A BAD RESULT OR A PATIENT HAVING A PROBLEM.

JEALOUS COMPETITORS, STOP HATING. YOU ALL KNOW HE'S ONE OF THE BEST.

HIS PATIENTS LOVE HIM SO MUCH THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT THEIR PROCEDURES. HE HAS A BOOK OF TESTIMONIALS AND HIS PATIENTS WILL TALK TO YOU.

20. WAKE UP PEOPLE.......WHEN HAVING ANY PLASTIC SURGERY, YOU SHOULD HAVE IT PERFORMED BY A PHYSICIAN WHO IS CERTIFIED BY "THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGEONS". THEY SHOULD ALSO BE A MEMBER OF THE ASPS....HOW MANY PHYSICIANS HAVE YOU SEEN ON DR. 90210 AND HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEONS? REALLY PEOPLE, I BELIEVE THERE IS ONLY TWO....KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT BEFORE MAKING YOUR COMMENTS....AFTER ALL, WHEN YOU GO SKY DIVING, DO YOU WANT THE NEW LATEST AND GREATEST PARACHUTE OR DO YOU WANT LAST YEARS MODEL? PLASTIC SURGERY IS NO DIFFERENT!

21. I am a past patient - & I 100% RECOMMEND HIM!!!

I had 2 nose jobs prior to seeing Dr. Omidi. I lived in NYC - & NO DOCTOR would agree to work on me - they said it was too hard & nothing there to work w/, that it would only get worst if I tried again to fix it.

When I came out to LA - everyone told me to go to Dr. Omidi - that he would be the ONLY one skilled enough to take on such a DIFFICULT procedure.

I did & it changed my life.
People on this site, I have noticed, are mean (& racist....) so I am making myself an easy target to be made fun of.
But for those who went through what I did - unhappy w/somehting, like how I was w/my nose - it actually is hard.

I DID spend a lot of time crying when I was growing up.

Now, people come up to me & tell me how perfect my profile is - what IRONY!!!

I love him for helping me love myself!

Thank you Dr. Michael Omidi - thank you for giving me something that goes beyond fixing a (couple) bad nose jobs.
You are AMAZING!!!

22. Dr. Omidi, You are so cute!

I AGREE WITH DANTE. YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR DRS WHO ARE BOARD CERTIFIED. DR. OMIDI IS CERTIFIED BY THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY AND AMERICAN BOARD OF SURGERY MAKING HIM DOUBLE BOARD CERTIFIED

He is a sweet and friendly doctor. He spent alot of time with me. He did my nose and the results were perfect. I hated the hook on my nose, the bump and had trouble breathing. I went to him because he is a facial specialist. My heart went out when I saw that he had been in Vietnam for a month doing pro-bono work. Most private docs don't spend that much time in places like that. Ive heard a weekend, but not a month, in the swamps of Vietnam! I'm surprised that he was using a center that was not accredited because he runs many centers and all of them are gorgeous and very well ran. I'm sure it was an administrative glitch. I didn't see any patients having any problems. I still have 100% trust and faith in you Michael. Don't let the racists get to you. This country is great because of great people from all over the world. You are definietly one!

Remember what WINSTON CHURCHILL SAID..." THE VENOM OF A MAN'S
ENEMIES IS A MEASURE OF HIS STRENGTH"
