Bearwood Plastic Surgery
reviews and complaints

Wow...seems weird hearing all these stories. My wife was his patient for FT butt Aug back in 2002. She wanted extreme fullness. Everything exceeded expectations. The staff, dr Roberts, the surgery. Wife was back to work in a week and the surgery cost about $10, 500. To this day she has same fullness and no real noticeable signs of scars. I guess we got lucky.

My experience with his office almost cost me my life. I'm grateful to be alive. I was lucky I had my best friend and a nurse present. Very happy he's not practicing anymore

Dr. Thomas Roberts is a pervert and a psychopath. He allows nurses to perform surgery for him. He is unethical and a rip off artist. I am a former patient. He took over $20, 000 (or I should say stole) just to cause damage to my face and body. It will cost $50, 000 in revision surgeries to correct what he did to me.

Dr. Roberts will ruin your face and ruin your life. After he cuts up your face, he will look at you and tell you how nice you look. He will deny the damage he caused as he looks right at you. He is an ego maniac! His staff is horrible and rude!

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONSIDERING USING DR. ROBERTS. Everything I am reading is true. I cannot believe I had surgery performed by Dr. Roberts. He performed liposuction on me in 2007 when I was 21 years old. I was very excited about surgery because 6 months earlier I had my breast augmented by his former business partner (Dr. Lettieri--who is an amazing surgeon). The results were great so I wanted more surgery. I wanted lipo on my butt and chose Dr. Roberts instead of sticking with Dr. Lettieri because I thought he specialized more in lipo and was impressed with his butt implant photos. BIG MISTAKE. I should have stayed with my original doc because but just as another person stated above, Dr. Roberts felt my buttocks and told me the same thing, "That women pay him to have the butt I have." He then convinced me to get the lipo in my inner and outer thighs, hips, sacrum, and lower abdomen. He also transferred fat near my hipbones because he said my bones protruded too much. The results were not terrible, but what concerns me is reading about the patients he left sedated for more than 8hrs because I was one of them. My surgery was only supposed to take 4hrs and my mom and sister said they were very worried and kept asking the lady at the desk what was taking so long because the surgery took nearly 8-10hrs. I felt like a train wreck when I finally woke up and the pain was unbearable. I'm not even sure if he was in the room.

NOW IT GETS WORSE, after a check-up Dr. Roberts noticed one of the incision spots on my lower back turned darker. He told me he wanted to sample it for cancer and the results came back that it was melanocytes. So, he told me he needed to perform a minor surgery to take out the surrounding area to be on the safe side. Well, I came in for the procedure but was basically used as a test dummy for him to teach his nurses how to perform the procedure themselves. I was awake while he was teaching them how to do a "special" stitching procedure.

NOW IT GETS SICK! He kept raving about labia surgery and told me I was the perfect patient for the surgery and offered to perform the surgery FOR FREE if I would allow him to use my photos on his website. I thought--wow--free surgery? Sure! He then took a ton of photos of my genital area in more positions anyone can think of. I thought it seemed strange and so did my mother who was in the room. I cannot remember if he had on gloves or not. I was in a relationship and am still in the same relationship with an older wealthy man who was paying for all my procedures. He is the same age as Dr. Roberts and Dr. Roberts met him. I feel Dr. Roberts took advantage of that because he knew there was money involved and thought I must have been promiscuous because of my relationship status and large age difference. I was a very young and immature girl. My dad kept begging me to stop getting so many surgeries and he had a bad feeling about the labia surgery because Dr. Roberts offered to perform the procedure for free. I decided not to go through with the labia surgery and did not show up to the scheduled surgery because I had a bad feeling as well when I woke up that morning. There is NO TELLING WHAT HE WOULD HAVE DONE if I went through with it. All of my surgeries happened between [protected] just before all of his legal trouble. I was shocked when I read about him in the paper. In fact, my dad called me and told me to read the paper. I was not the patient who complained but it definitely seemed like he had several relationships with his nurses. After, maturing a little and thinking back, I feel I was very naive and uneducated at that time. Dr. Roberts always seemed a little strange to me because of the way he touched me and taking sooooooooo many photos of my genitals seemed like I was in a porn video. It did not seem professional at all.

At the time of the surgery I was 21years old, 5'7" and weighed about 145lbs. I am now 27, 115lbs and look better just from losing weight by changing my eating habits and exercising. However, my legs are nearly impossible to tone up where Dr. Roberts performed the lipo and they are extremely flabby. I ride a bike into town, run, and do yoga mixed with strength training. Do not use him. Strange man indeed. However, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND his former business partner, Dr. John Lettieri. He is very professional and does amazing work.

I saw Dr. Roberts about 10 years ago for liposuction. He was a strange man. I was asking for liposuction on my outer thighs. He convinced me to get liposuction on my inner knee area also. The thighs went fine, but the inner knee area looked badly dented for quite a while. I was fortunate in that it filled in over time and although I can still tell where the dent is, it isn't something which prevents me from wearing shorts. I don't think other people notice.

The inappropriate thing I was treated to while in his office was that he go down on his knees behind me and felt my naked buttocks up, while supposedly examining the outer thigh area I wanted liposuction done on. His nurse glanced over in a concerned way when he proclaimed that many women pay him to get the buttocks I have. It was uncomfortable. Why I went ahead with the surgery after that is beyond me. I'm lucky to have come out that experience mostly unscathed.

I am a former patient of Dr. Roberts. He disfigured my face. I later found out he was letting his nurses do surgery for him...it was too late. The damage was done. I have spent $25k over the past 6 years trying to fix his mistakes. I still need a revision rhinoplasty, corrective fat grafting galore, and eye surgery to correct the damage. My nightmare began when I walked into Carolina Plastic Surgery and sometime it feels like it is never going to end.

Dr. Thomas Roberts will ruin your face. I am a former patient and have been suffering from depression since my plastic surgery 5 years ago. I don't look pretty anymore. I look 'worked on'. His surgical skills are completely lacking.

Wow...I am from NYC, i have a consultation with him on February, but i dont think am going to spend my money in a hotel room and flights for this.
Has anybody have a good experience and results with him?

Glad that I read this beforehand. I saw Dr.Roberts a year ago for a consultation for a simple under eye blepharoplasty and I left his office with a list of at least 12 other procedures that he wanted to perform. I am 43 and I know that I am still considered very attractive; men tell me so on the street all the time. However, what really sent the alarm bells ringing with this unusual consultation, was Dr.Robert's insistence on showing me pictures of super models ( highly photo-shopped) and saying that I needed all of those procedures in order to look like them; it was bizarre and quite frankly, insulting. I have been to other Doctors for consults for the same procedure and almost all of them have told me that I could wait a few years and that I have a very beautiful face that at this point really didn't need any improvement. As I left his office, he made an unsolicited remark that I should lose five pounds ( I am 5/ 4 and weigh 117 pounds). The comments on this site have confirmed that I made the right choice in not letting him perform my surgery.
