Not given I liked him when I first met him, but when I expressed dissatisfaction with my results (smart lipo on upper arms) he sold me a Thermage procedure.  Again, I expressed my dissatisfaction after that procedure, and he started to get edgy with me, trying to convince me the results where acceptable to him.  Who cares if it's acceptable to him?  He doesn't have to walk around with big, flabby arms that are out of proportion to his frame.  He explained in doctor terms why I shouldn't have expected the circumference to be reduced.  Isn't that why people choose lipo, to reduce size?  When you remove fat (volume) from a flexible vessel (skin surrounding the fat) you'd expect a reduction in size, much like removing water from a filled-to-capacity water balloon.  Nope.  Now all I'm left with is half-filled water balloons for arms.  Thanks alot, Dr. Gray.  His office staff and nurses, are very nice.  But after talking to the nurses, I get the feeling they don't always believe his BS either.

When I asked Dr. Gray about 'Thermage', he told me that the results are 'ify', so why spend $2,000 plus dollars to find that out.  I can't believe that he is still pushing that procedure.  I am sorry about what happened to you, please file a report with the state, that is the only way this man will be stopped.


Comments by kballard79 on 05/11/08, 4:06 pm

I am thinking about having this procedure done.  I want to have the smart lipo and the skin tightening on my arms.  I am somewhat skeptical on how much mass this will actually take care of.  If anyone with good or bad experiences please let me know.   kballard79@yahoo.com     thank you

2006 I cant believe what I have done to myself and my self esteam by letting this man touch me. I will never feel or be the same. I had a TT performed with mucle tightning and my bellybutton was done at a later time (it does not look anything like a bellybutton) I dont understand why my original bellybutton was not used? Also, my muscle came undone and I hardly have any pubic hair left. I plan on taking action.

Well..if you need any advice or helpp..im here for you!!!..I pray for all those that are being butchered by this man..he needs to be stopped!!


Comments by sadgirl on 03/25/08, 7:44 am

Thank you so much Leelee85!

Actually I am need of help. I am going to be picketing in front of his office in the next couple of weeks and I am creating a website in protest of him. There are many ways evryone could help 1. Financially because the website costs money to maintain, the signs costs money to be made and I pay a sitter while gone 2. If you or anyone you know has experieence with web design that would be great. 3. File a complaint (that is so important). 3. Call 96.3 and tell them to stop advertising him. This is all just a start and please pass this along. I am not someone who does nothing, so whether I have help or not I am committed to getting the word out about this man.



Comments by notgivingup on 03/25/08, 7:00 pm

There are free websites that will host a page.  Be careful, this man is powerful.  Libel and slander should be avoided or you can face a lawsuit.  He has more money and lawyers to protect himself.  I liked the idea of contacting radio stations, but 99.5 is a biggy here and he has a right to advertise.  Use caution and contact an attorney before posting anything.  CYA!

Thank you and I do understand what you are saying. I have been in contact with an Attorney and am not that worried and am very aware of the laws. Yes there is free hosting but nothing more than that. He does have the right to advertise and do his own commercials but they actually indorse him and they are not obligated to do either.


Comments by jesse on 03/25/08, 8:08 pm

Find out if you need a permit from the city to picket and verify your rights and responsibilites, so that he can't have you arrested or slapped with a restraining order.  Contacting a lawyer is a great idea.

There are many rating websites maybe you don't have to create your own website, just rate him wherever you can.

Good luck.

I wish that all the women who have posted here could get together and plan something that would get the word out to the masses. I will help anyway I can. I don't have much money to spare, but I am willing to be involved in anyway I can. I don't know if it's possible to bring a class action against this guy. We do need to do something.
I wrote to Detroit magazine after he botched my daughters surgery. He has pages framed in his office that make it look like the magazine endorses him. I got a response back from the magazine that they did not/do not endorse him. They said that what he has framed is a paid advertisement.
We should not be afraid to go up against this man. Start taking photos ladies, of the horrible work he does.
Could there be a meeting some Saturday where we could all meet and plan together?
One persons voice is important, but many of us is louder and we need to be heard!

One more thing. Does anyone know where there are more websites for posting feedback on Dr. Butcher? I'd like to know what the URL's are for those sites so that I can get my comments (warnings) posted there.
Thanks

Comments by paginmad on 03/26/08, 7:39 pm

Ladies, although I understand your fustration, let me ask you a simple question, have any of you filed a complaint with the state medical board of Michigan?  I did some checking and as of now, not one person has filed so much as a complaint against this doctor.  Although you only need two individuals to file a lawsuit, the first thing an attorney is going to ask is 'have you tried to file any complaints.'  Be smart, and yes, the more support, the better.  It really doesn't matter how right you are, if you are outnumbered by others - you will loose and will be beaten down.

Spread the word, that is the best thing that anyone can do.  We want to prevent another tragedy like the 'Jan Adams' disaster.  But like what 'oneangrymom' pointed out, we all need to take responsbility here and start making our complaints known with the State Board - complaining is not enough.  Even if they dismiss the complaints in the end for whatever reason, they simply cannot go away or be ignored because they show a pattern and a history that eventually could help a person sometime down the road - the ripple effect......

Hi everyone,

I am very concerned and can't sleep at night about this doctor.  I waited close to 2 hrs to get looked at, and he seemed very disoriened, like he was very nervous and didnt know what to do.  I am a very skinny girl, and i had just had a baby and he had suggested to do my breast augmentation over the muscle and only give me 250cc. (which the doctor who i actually had the surgery BOARD CERTIFIED!!, said that that would have been very ugly results.  SHe gave me 400cc and under the muscle).  Many of her reconstructive surgeries were doctor gray's patients.  I backed out of the surgery with doctor gray, because i found out he wasnt board certified and he lied by responding yes, i am   (very tricky) and the fact that he wouldnt do my surgery under the muscle and he was going to use a very small implant so i would be unhappy with the results and would come back to him for more surgeried.  And he is trying to still charge me for 4,000!! dollars, eventhough no surgery was performed.  And the surgery that he would have performed would have left me very unhappy, rippling, and possibly disfigured at 22.  I need help from other people who have had problems with this doctor. PLEASE ASAP, because i dont want this to happen to anyone else!!!!

Take care

Comments by mickeymouse on 02/13/08, 8:46 am

This question is for Leelee, I was considering Dr. Gray for a couple of procedures, what Dr. did you end up using?


Comments by SoSo on 02/14/08, 12:54 pm

Hi Leelee,

I have already paid to have my surgery with Dr.Gray and my appointment is fast approaching.  Now I am worried.  I did not know he wasn't board certified???  Who did you do your surgery with in the end?  I would like to speak to this person about Dr. Gray's work.  Did this Dr also do a Tuba procedure (through the belly button) on you?  Have you heard many negative comments from other patients about Dr.Gray? I am very afraid now, please any advice would be much appreciated.



Comments by unsure on 02/14/08, 5:55 pm

Dr.Gray IS board certified in cosmetic surgery. He is not a plastic surgeon. He is a cosmetic surgeon. That means after his general surgery residency he completed additional training in cosmetic surgery.Plastic surgeons also do a general surgery residency then complete additional training in plastic surgery. He has no filed complaints under Michigan.gov which is a reliable source. I was really worried after I read the ratings on this site. Don't believe everything you read... I had a great experience and amazing results so far.

The only way to find out if previous complaints have been sent to the state is to write the FOIA Coordinator.  You can't look that up on line.  I believe to receive disciplinary action the doctor must be in violation of the Michigan Public Health Code.

Has anyone read the March 2008 Readers Digest article Doctors Who Do Harm?  It has contact resources:

It's hard to know who the problem doctors are until you're the one making the complaint.  I'd like to see things change in Michigan.

 



Comments by rene on 02/20/08, 12:17 pm

Dr. Gray IS NOT BOARD CERTIFIED  IN ANYTHING!

Also,there have not been any complaints sent into the state as of yet according to my Attorney. Everyone who is complaining needs to get up off your ass and send one in including myself.

A couple of people sent me a private message but I was away on vacation and then accidently deleted them. Please email me again and I will give you my phone #.

Oh one more thing, your first step is calling and getting your medical records from him and dont take no for an anwser they are your property by law!

This doctor is someone I would definitely not recommend.  He should be handed a class action lawsuit based on results.  I laughed when I read where a woman supposedly got a hold of Dr. Gray at 3:00 in the morning.  When I was hemoraging, I couldn't locate him to save my life let alone to answer some little question.

I wrote the same thng some time back (but as the FRIZZ--couln't remember my password so I re-registered as oneangrymom).

I will call the news. I support your effort to do something about this man, and will do whatever I can to get him 'outed' and stop him from butchering any more women.

I wish I knew of a way to get in touch with more of his patients so that we could get more dissatisfied patients to help with this effort. If anyone has an idea, let us know. I think I will contact a lawyer friend of mine and see how he thinks we might be more successful.

Here's a chance for women to unite and do something constructive about a horrible man.

Thanks, Rene!

You can contact www.michigan.gov/bhser/ to file a complaint with the Michigan Bureau of Health Services.

Under the Freedom of Information Act you can write to the Michigan Bureau of Health Professionals at, PO Box 30670 Lansing, MI 48909-8170 to see if any other complaints have been filed with the state.

If the local media won't do a story about this doctor see if they will do a story about doctor rating websites.  Don't forget to contact your local paper.

good luck!

1999 I went to Dr. Gray for breast augmentation eight years ago.  Fast forward to the present and I have just spent $10,000 and 5 hours of surgery to have his work corrected.  I was told that over the muscle was the way to go.  This resulted in terrible scar tissue.  Bad enough that my insurance would pay for it.  He never told me that over the muscle implants are much more likely for this complication.  Also, by going through the belly button (not approved by FDA) he voided my implant warranty.  Nice.  Also, he suggested a size based on what I said I wanted (full c) and I ended up with breasts that were way too big for my body.  Nice.  I carried these breasts around for 8 years.  It was embarassing.  I was ashamed of myself.  Now I found a wonderful board certified surgeon (Gray is not even a cosmetic surgeon, just a DO) who fixed me. .I just found out all these things about Gray, such as no hospital admitting rights so if you have a complication in surgery, he'll have to call EMS.  No plastic surgery specialty.  I am mad at myself for not doing my homework but when I saw him on TV and heard him on the radio I figured he must be good.  Shame on the media outlets for promoting this guy.  It really has caused me a great deal of misery, not to mention money.

Very well said! You brought up some important points that I failed to mention in my post. I have taken my daughter to three plastic surgeons to get opinions about correcting the HORRIBLE job that Dr. Gray did.As I mentioned, he has disfigured her. The second doctor shared the information about the belly button procedure...that it is not approved, and that it voids the warranty on the implants. I feel the same way you do about the media promoting this man. I wrote to a couple of the magazines that had promoted him, and one of them wrote back to say that they did not promote him, but he had paid for a two page ad in their magazine. He displays these in his office as though they are endorsements. I wish I could get all the women he has disfigured together and bring a class action suit against this man. It seems so disgusting that so many women have had to spend so much money to fix what he has done, and that insurance does not reimburse this. He is a man with no scruples, no conscience, and he should not be allowed to practice anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't imagine how he sleeps at night. He's a monster!

this question is for jacalynmom...I had implants above the muscle 10 years ago, not attractive.  May I inquire where you had yours redone?


Comments by jacalynmom on 03/26/08, 8:46 pm

I had my breast revision surgery done by Dr. Kayser in Roseville.  I had 3 different consults before deciding on him.  He has a different procedure for lifts and has a lot of breast implant revision experience.  Mine before the revision were not attractive either, Dr. Kayser was very kind and compassionate and didn't try to talk me into anything I didn't want.  I can't say enough nice things about him (plus I think that he might be chief of cosmetic surgery at St Johns).  He has really great credentials.  Good luck, I know how you feel :)

Not given Although Dr. Gray has reasonable prices, I wish I could say the same for the results.  I found out that this man is not a 'board certified' plastic surgeon and has no hospital priviledges anywhere.  This doctor did a poor job and performed an inadequate job and I was unable to reach him when complications arose.  Do your research on this doctor before you have him do any type of procedure.  He downplays the risks of lipo as if you are just having your hair done.  Trust me, there is more to it than that.  As far as his staff goes, they are very gossipy and just goes to show you that client confidentiality must not mean very much if they talk about the doctor in front of patients.
