I have it on good authority that Dr. Eppley engaged an 'Internet manipulator' several months ago to flood the web with positive reviews on websites like this.

Why don't some of these happy customers post their photos?

In analyzing all the reviews for Dr. Eppley on this and other doctor rating websites, I found 99% of them to have been posted to correspond with other flooding of Eppley information on the web (blogs).  I have e-mail from one of his former patients who was also personally involved with him attesting to his hiring this Internet PR person for the specific purpose of NEUTRALIZING the many  negative reports about him from numerous patients who openly posted photos and explicit details of their experience.

Dr. Eppley has two active malpractice cases against him at this time.  He has had far more than  average  for his specialty in the past.

This is a HORROR story... I HOPE you pursued legal action after what happened to you.  I am not by nature a litigious person but the have lied about the anestheologist and nurse who were NOT there? THat is criminal....  YOu did folks a service by posting this AND the photos so  they can see for themselves what happned to you-- that took the most courage of all....

BUBBABUBBA in 'Bama

i would not trust this surgeon : this glowing review does not sound real and why? because its not . Its posted by one of his staff!

Lucille is an evil, probably psychologically disturbed person, who had surgery with Dr. Eppley and then did not pay her bill.  In order to keep from being pursued by debt collectors she smears the names of those she has taken advantage of.  She has done this to other doctos in New England.  Unfortunately these doctors have no recourse against her venom.  Beware of her lest she turn on you and ruin your reputation.  Dr. Eppley has dedicated his life to helping others.  He has helped numerous children around the world and is a dedicated caring man.  Shame on you Lucille - just remember - what goes around comes around. 

this surgeon is scary: he actually appears to be defaming a patient whom he has disfigured : I think the previous post is right in that Dr Eppley should  confine himself to the playground as that is where he feels most comfortable in and will learn the most: and so will they!

I am looking for a good plastic surgeon but you seem to delight in waring with your patients I would never engage you after what I have read and the evidence against you


'whats goes around comes around'!!!! What sort of threat is that to a vulnerable patient disfigured by you aesthetically and physiologically .?

You, Dr Eppley have been going around and coming around for a very long time!.......................Why dont you simply retrain somewhere in another discipline bearing in mind that there will be checks and balances in the school yard too

'Dr'  Barry Eppley

there is nothing remotely Dr like about you: you are nothing but an an embarrassment to our profession

Good night Good evening Good Luck and Goodbye!

Hi

I was wondering what you meant by ' smears the names of those she takes advantage of' ? Why would someone do something surgically for a purely
pecuniary advantage ? Usually if you pay for something and you are happy with it :   theres no problem

So why, if what you allege, is true did you not sue? This presents as a straight forward breach of contract does it not?

And your  assertion that Lucille 'is' evil contradicted by 'probably' psychologically disturbed is odd.  Are you able to explain and justify such unbalanced allegations at all?

I doubt very much I will hear anything of substance, wrapped up in form from who is under the 'cover' of Dr Eppley,  his servant or agent.   This first post is nothing more than an fraudulent leak which is what might be  expected from the 'form' that is Eppley.

I am not someone who works for Dr. Eppley, I am someone who has had multiple procedures with him.  I was thrilled with all of them.  Dr.  Eppley does not sue the possibley deranged Lucille because she has no money.  She has nothing anyone would want.  She spends her days on phsyician boards ruining the reputations of wonderful people she has taken advantage of.  Doesn't it seem a little ironic that she also does this to two New England doctors?  I am sure that she did not pay them anything either.  She's got quite the little racket going.  She posts pictures of herself where she has screwed up her face into weird positions and then maligns those she's taken advantage of.  What is a doctor to do to defend himself against this type of thing?  After all the internet is not regulated and anyone can say anything about anyone.  She also signs on as many different people, making up stories about procedures that doctors have mucked up.  As I said, what a racket.  When I think of all of the cleft palates that Dr. Eppley has corrected on children around the world, that he has volunteered to do - I pray that mal-adjusted people like Lucille will stop their wrong doings.  Let's all warn the public about Lucille and her horrible smear campaign. 

Hello Ms Multiple Procedure,

which procedures might I ask have you had done in that how many cleft palates did you have at the same time?

someone that is just so 'thrilled' as you are would not waste their time on message boards!  '............doesn't it seem a little ironic....'

have you not heard of a nominal victory? Was Eppley seeking money in compensation as well as disfigurement from his patients

No doctor would allow his name to be 'smeared' as you put it 

...What is a doctor to do to defend himself against this type of thing...'   Well perhaps he might start by not smearing his own name with what seems to be his own unique form of  surgery

and the would be Dr Eppleys surgery( as I've read and I've seen nothing to refute it)  has injured patients and it seems he is very familiar with  negligence and malpractice.

and why out of vague interest and it is very vague at this point would anyone want to make up 'stories about procedures doctors have mucked up'

if a procedure has been 'mucked up' by a doctor that is their story isnt it? How could you possibly make up a story about a 'mucked up' procedure?

No response expected!

Can Dr Eppley please do something to help this lady.  I have just read about the case and it sounds horrendous what has happened to lucille covelli

Is he trying to help her ? Can something be done?

 

I'd like Dr. Eppley to explain the hard evidence of his duplicity on these documents:

http://groups.msn.com/LosingFace/anesthesiologistsaidhewasnotpresentdreppley.msnw

I refuse to dignify the ludicrous allegations and libelous statements made by sallyh about me.  I think the hard evidence speaks for itself. 

I find it both curious and absurd that a mere 'happy patient' would so vehemently defend any doctor and I find her reference to my character and mental stability breaches the terms of service of this website. 

Oh God this doctor has lied!  Its in black and white

thank you for taking the time to inform us .  And I really hope you get the help you need from a real doctor

The real doctor needed by Lucille is a psychiatrist. I'm sorry that she has lied and deceived so many people.

Hey, sallyh or whoever you are... I think YOU need the psychiatrist if you cannot recognize authentic documents when you see them.  It's pretty clear who lied.. in black and white.

Its always suspicious when a 'patient' attempts to defend a doctor . If a 'real doctor' is a psychiatrist how many psychiatrists have you seen? You seem to have personal experience. Which probably accounts for your inability to provide a scintilla of evidence to counter your unbalanced allegations: its fairly obvious where the truth lies and its not on your side!

People are not easily deceived and 'so many people'...... all of the time?  You really and very sadly underestimate the intelligence of the average person  Who is capable and why would anyone want to deceive people and so many people?  This suggests that its a good business :  how much money is Ms Covelli making from this then? It seems the practice of Eppley has managed that all by himself and there appears to be several malpractice suits against this guy!  And they  just all emanate  from so many deceived people! that  sought the help of Eppley in good faith and ended up regreting it.  I'm very sorry you feel people are easily deceived making you the ultimate victim of your own deception.............

how coincidental for all the patients you have recommended to eppley to all be thrilled with their results implying that those that have not been 'recommended' by you are not so thrilled!

I think at this point it might be an idea if you are out  to defend, it is  worthwhile to present a bit of evidence as opposed to nonsense.  I do appreciate your obvious difficulty as the weight appears against you but at least give it a shot. Ms Covelli has uncountered  documentary evidence which is just much more convincing that self serving statements

.....Dr Eppley is an extremely kind, gentle and competent surgeon!'

really!   well thank you for such an obviously deceptive introduction.  I think most people are interested in competence first! 'kind and gentle' !: well therein lies the deceptive armour of the incompetent.  It seems you have condemned yourself from your own mouth and is as much as we can expect from the incompetent back up that is eppley

why dont you make life easier for yourself and present some evidence?

Dr. Eppley Betrayed My Trust:

http://cosmeticsurgeryuglyside.blogspot.com/

This is the consent form with the notation I made before signing 'NO INTUBATED ANESTHESIA' with the portion underlined by me which allows the surgeon to choose the type of anesthesia he wants. The first thing I asked EVERY surgeon I consulted was what kind of anesthesia they used. If they said general anesthesia and were firm on that, the consultation was over. I have always stated, as my correspondence with other doctors proves, that with the exception of a life saving surgery (which any cosmetic surgery certainly is not) I would NEVER have a procedure that required general anesthesia.
