Dr. Barry M. Zide, DMD, MD, Professor of Plastic Surgery NYU is this monster's full name. Why monster, you ask? I must be exaggerating, you say. Maybe, but first let me tell you about my experience with him.
He wore a gun on his hip. He had a constable's badge proudly framed on his desk. (Why would an MD need police powers? Why would he need to wear a gun while seeing new patients?) He shouted at me for not sitting on a black, vinyl seat pad he had placed on one corner of his couch. He shouted at me when I didn't sit on the pad at first. He gave me his cell phone number and told me to call anytime with any concerns or questions. But when I called more than once he shouted at me, threatening me that if I kept calling he wouldn't help me. There were many red flags that should have warned me away from him, but I was desperate for help, and afraid.
I had an appointment with another surgeon. I called Zide for a second opinion. (The procedure was one of those that Zide claims is one of his specialties.) I had always heard that one should get a second opinion before having any procedure. I expected Zide to praise the doctor I had selected. Instead he told me the doctor's method didn't work. He talked himself up, bragged about his accomplishments and reputation, made me afraid to treat with anyone but him. I canceled the appointment with the other doctor and had my surgery with Zide. It was the worst mistake of my life.
His Informed Consent Form contained two little boxes. One read "I request the doctor explain the risks of my procedure to me, " or words to that effect. The other box read, "I waive my right to be made aware of the risks, " or words to that effect. I was told to place a check mark in one of the boxes. I checked that I wanted him to explain the risks to me, but he never did. In a space that has more in common with a small dentists office than an operating room, he took my face apart in a horrifying way. I wasn't ready for this. For anesthesia he had me take Ativan and Valium. His staff called this "Pre-med." I woke up during the procedure to a feeling of being choked and having my arms restrained. I remember Zide shouting. (The statements of a patient on Valium and Ativan will not hold up in court). He had an unlicensed, unqualified member of his staff stay with me afterward. After the surgery I returned to him and reported excruciating pain. He said it was because of the "dissection." (Isn't it cadavers you dissect and not living human beings?) He left an important part of my surgery entirely out of his operative note.
There is too much to say about this monster. Fortunately the monster has condemned himself with his own words. He published a series of articles in a medical journal called Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. In these articles he shows his true face. He talks about the "ploys" he uses to bamboozle patients into trusting him. He tells of instructing his residents (Zide is a professor of plastic surgery at NYU) to make there own "Top doctor plaques" -- fake credentials that are good for plastic surgeons to have NOT because they are true, but because patients tend to believe them. He gives instruction to the readership of the journal in step-by-step, paint-by-number style on how to use scripted language, and ploys, and outright lies, and lies by omission, and every aspect of con artistry imaginable to steal a patient's trust. The references of one of his articles is a list of the kind of cheap, low-brow salesmanship books of dirty tricks that a dishonest used-car salesmen might read. But why should I continue writing when I can let the diabolical master himself do all the talking?
The following links are to The Wayback Machine, an internet archive. The webpages you will read were originally posted on the Makemeheal.com message board website. They mysteriously went missing after a blogger accused one of the website's moderators of using a double standard -- using soft language to describe the moral outrages of Dr. Barry Zide, but harsh language to characterize a blogger's response to the outrages.

Dr. Zide is a murderous [censored] who removed all the muscle from my jaw. It's dirty money. Dr. Zide is sitting in dirty money made of people's trust and body parts.
Dr. Barry Zide is perhaps one of the most dangerous fraudsters you will ever encounter. He is a [censored] artist second to none. He is all sales pitch, no talent or skill. He is all talk. He knows a line or two on just about every subject, politics, medicine, law, the economy, the idiosyncrasies of people of various cultures, etc., but he has no depth of knowledge on anything, not even in his own trade. He has the morals of a dishonest pawn broker, or dishonest used-car salesman. He writes his own positive reviews. He sits there at his desk writing his own positive reviews, trying to make them sound like they were written by happy patients. He has no happy patients. He has stupid patients, stupid because they trusted him. Because he knows he is a bad surgeon, he feels contempt and disdain for suckers who trust him. He is a terrible human being, a bad surgeon and is extremely lazy at his job. He enjoys the stature of being a plastic surgeon, enjoys playing up the part, dressing up in expensive clothes, wearing a gun on his hip, lecturing in a loud voice, playing tennis and announcing to everyone in ear shot that he has a tennis date that day. He is like the 1960s TV commercial that featured Charlie the tuna, who confused having good taste with tasting good, and Zide's taste, like the taste of Charlie the tuna, is superficial, low-brow, cheap and showy. Zide sees plastic surgery as pure business. He has a product and he wants to market that product and you walk into his office and he sees you as the next sucker. Avoid him. If it is too late for you to avoid him, and if he has hurt you, do not hesitate to sue him. He is like a fish in water in a courtroom, and he is used to being sued, so don't expect him to get scare when he gets your lawsuits in the mail. What I urge you to do is call your attorney's attention to a series of 7 or 8 creepy articles and editorials Zide published in a medical journal called Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It is in this writings that Zide proudly advertises his cruel intentions and the dirty tricks he plays on the public. Believe it or not, his description of his dishonest and deceptive business practices actually takes the form of step-by-step instructions to the plastic surgery community on how to use the dirty tricks in their own medical practices. You really must read them to believe them. Linda Allone, the mother of a 10 year old child Zide operated on, published a book by the title "Living Scared: Can You Trust Your Doctor?" Dr. Zide figures prominently in this book. I urge anyone thinking about treating with Zide to read it.
The effects of the surgery Zide performed on me are getting worse over time. My advice to the fellow traveler is that if you sense that Zide hurt you get help as fast as you can. Go to a medical community that is not connected to Zide. NYU and his colleagues there will take his side against you. Boston, Miami or Cleveland are good choices for outside help. And don't be discouraged or confused by any attempt Zide might make to gaslight you, i.e., to take a physical symptom you are having and try to convince you that it's all in your mind. It's not in your mind. And never go it alone. Always bring a companion. And always keep a trusted health care professional in the loop when you are making your health care decisions. Follow this advice and there's a good chance you won't end up like me, and from what I'm reading a lot of others like me. Good luck.
His level of surgical skill, the quality of care he provides, the reliability of the very large claims made about him, these are exactly what you would expect from someone whose grasp of right and wrong is characteristic of psychopathy. Read his published writings.
A WORD OF CAUTION. Two positive reviews, "Aging Face" and "Life Saver!" were recently posted on a doctor reviews website. Considering Dr. Zide's self-advertised readiness for con artistry and dirty tricks (read his writings) I find it very suspicious that positive reviews should suddenly start to pop up right after a series of negative reviews are posted. The easiest thing to do is to post a positive review for a doctor. The doctor reviews website likes them because they know the doctor isn't going to complain or sue them, and, of course, the doctor is happy. It is much harder to post a negative review.
"Brilliant and innovative artist of the face, " the "Einstein" of plastic surgery who "when he is gone there will be no other, "these are some of the many large claims made about Barry Zide in his many glowing reviews. So why would such a wonderful doctor feel a need to carry a gun, a Glock pistol, on his hip at all times, even while seeing patients? Many aspects of Dr. Barry M. Zide are characteristic of something called The Dark Triad -- a dangerous combination of narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. Zide demonstrates no moral conscience and seems to be incapable of feeling guilt or remorse, or even fear. Rather than moving him to concern or pity, the agonized cries of his victims begging him to reverse what he has done to them only disgust and annoy him, like the crunching and oozing of hundreds of June bugs as they are crushed under his feet as he walks his path toward "business, money and stature". Zide's skills lie not in medicine or surgery, but in gamesmanship. He is good at playing games and he plays to win. Zide is an avid tennis player, but everything is a game to him, especially the medical profession, the legal profession, and the areas where the two intersect. He even hires himself out as an expert witness. See a website called Jurispro. Read his published writings, and pay special attention to the writings that he authors by himself. The writings in which he is named as co-author are almost entirely written by the other authors named in the writing. Zide understands systems. He understands how one system can be made to work with another system and how systems can be manipulated and exploited in order to serve one's interests. The medical system and the legal system are his specialties. He even invents systems, just makes them up in his diabolical mind. He has published systems to sell surgery, systems to con and bamboozle the public, systems that help bad doctors get away with the harm they do — for example by blaming patients’ complaints on the patient’s mental state instead of the harm caused by their doctor. For example, he will say the patient has "Body Dismorphic Disorder." This is a form of Gaslighting — a form of victim-blaming in which the perpetrator harms the victim, then argues that the victim is only imagining that he or she has been harmed. I repeat: read Zide’s writings. The plain English in which he writes cannot be misunderstood. With regard to his many positive reviews, as already stated above by gomer1978, most of them, if not all of them, are fake. He lost his private practice when he was exposed as a fraud. NYU Langone took him in. They feed him patients (only unimportant ones) as they slowly carry him piggyback toward retirement. I end with a wish for the lowlife doctors and lowlife lawyers responsible for giving shelter and support to their lowlife "buddy": may they and their families be plagued by doctors who were taught by Professor Zide to make their own top doctor plaques.
Bernie Madoff with a scalpel. A dyed-in-the-wool scumbag. The plastic surgeon equivalent of the sleazy oil change shop that punches a hole in your radiator, then holds up a dip stick coated in perfectly good transmission fluid and tells you you need a flush. His glowing reviews look like they were purchased from companies like Fiver, or some posted by his staff, or written by Zide himself. Believe it or not, he comes with the full support and protection of the NYU establishment. A psychopathic crook who advertises his crookery in peer-reviewed medical journals. His bizarre writings effectually represent the How-To book on the dirty tricks plastic surgeons play on the public. The only categories of people Zide should be getting visits from are specialists in dangerous personality disorders and the police. Avoid him.
I do not recommend Dr. Barry M. Zide and I base this on personal experience, Speaking of "recommendations, " may I suggest that when using Yelp doctor reviews that you scroll down and click on where is says "...reviews not currently recommended." There is much information here. It is my opinion that doctor review websites should leave it to their intelligent, skeptical readers to decide for themselves whether a review deserves to be "recommended", or not. Also, with regard to the Vitals doctor reviews website, or any other websites whose reviews suddenly go missing, I suggest a website called The Wayback Machine. The Wayback Machine is an internet archive that keeps a history of how webpages change over time. For example if you want to see how a certain webpage looked two years ago simple go to that website and copy its URL. Then go to The Wayback Machine website and paste that URL into the search bar. A calendar will pop up from which you can select a date to see a screenshot of how the website in question appeared at that time.
A terrible experience. There was something very odd about Dr. Zide's behavior right from the start that made me not want to trust him, but a resident convinced me that he was an excellent surgeon. This will be the last time I take a recommendation from a resident. Dr. Zide engaged me in inappropriate conversation and Inappropriate humor. He ignored my questions, dismissed my concerns, and refused to discuss pain management. After my procedure, each time that I returned for a follow-up appointment he would recommend another procedure to fix something that had not come out right in his first procedure. Also, at each follow-up appointment he would recommend a procedure different from the one he had recommended on the previous appointment, apparently because he was unable to remember what he had recommended before and did not keep notes. During one follow-up procedure he was very impatient with me, seemed to be very much in a hurry to get things over with, and even manhandled me. He forced his hand into my mouth and jabbed me with the needle resulting in painful injections. At one point I became so frightened by his aggressive manner that I took hold of his arm and attempted to pull his hand out of my mouth. The resident who was there to observe seemed visibly shaken by this. The office staff was rude, except for one girl who was very nice and who was part of the reason why I continued to return to Dr. Zide even though my inner sense told me not to. Unfortunately she went absent for some reason. The staff gave me hardly any instructions on how to take care of myself after my surgery, nor did they show any concern for my comfort or care. I complained to the office of the chief of the department, but I do not feel that my complaint was taken seriously. I feel that I received very poor care from Dr. Zide and his staff and my recommendation is to avoid them.
Unskilled, uncaring, angry, pushy, manipulative. The hands of a leather worker, or a shoemaker, or a taxidermist -- not a surgeon. The mind of a politician, or a used-car salesmen -- not a surgeon. Treatment that falls well below the standard of care. Foul language. Inappropriate behavior. Coarse humor that verges on harassment. He gave me the name of an erotic store and told me to go buy a vibrator! His cronies keep him afloat by feeding him patients. His published writings reveal him to be a trickster who seeks to indoctrinate the medical community in his shockingly unethical ways. The worst of the worst in every respect. In my opinion, an example of what in psychology is known as The Dark Triad. Do your research. Don't be taken in by the impressive sounding testimonials. Testimonials can be purchased. Ask around. Be thorough. Dig deep.
A night m are, talk so inappropriate to patients, doesn't answer questions, doesn't discuss pain management, keeps dismissing your concerns. Every time you go after surgery he tells you need another procedure to fix his mistakes and he forgets when you go back and then he tells you another procedure.. When I went for a follow up procedure he starting SHOVING his hand in my mouth to give me painful injections in the inside of my mouth while I am trying to pull his arm and hand off out of my mouth and he kept fighting me and didn't answer my concerns while the resident looked horrified. I felt attacked. The office staff was rude, non accommodating and didn't know what they were doing when the only girl was out on an a extended leave who is excellent, I have worked with her for 20 years and she is the reason why I had gone back. Unfortunately she was out for a long time. I was going for surgery and I didn't have any instructions. No body from the office staff was telling me what had to be done. I called the chief Edquardo Rodriquez who his secretary refuse me access but she finally got others involved who they acted like we were bothering them asking for the instruction. D.r ZIde and Dr. Rodriquez are good friends with the chief. Zide should have been forced to retired a long ago and it is like they put him there to get him out of the hospital. DO NOT GO TO HIM. My inner sense told me not to but only the resident who I found extremely good, convinced me Dr. Zide was an excellent Surgeon. HE IS A QUACK! I had seen one review on a site and there was another patient complaining on the surgery and it was never fixed. I feel the same way. I was so sorry I went to NYU. They are suppose to have an excellent program. They left anchors in my head telling me that would dissolve, and they didn't . I had to push on them every night. I was getting violent pains and headaches and shooting nerve pain for 6 months which intensified each month. Finally they took them out they were like nails dropped on the metal tray. The pain the night of the procedure was unbearable and I was not warned not any pain management. It was awful Dr. Rodriquez, the chief of a department and Friend of Zide seems to have saved him but he is not doing any favors for the patients and NYU. This Dr. is a A Crazy Quack. Run to another facility. The old NYU good Reputation is destroyed with ZIDE. Shame on you NYU!
The link I just posted doesn't work. What you have to do is copy the link of the webpage you want to check then go to The Wayback Machine ---- http://web.archive.org/ ---- and paste that link into the search box and click to search. A calendar will appear showing the dates and times that a snapshot was taken of the webpage. Stay away from Zide and his colleagues.
Here is what Zide's Vitals.com webpage looked like before the website gave in to pressure from Zide and removed all the comments:
http://web.archive.org/web/20191210102859if_/https://www.vitals.com/web/20191210102859/https:/www.vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Barry_Zide/reviews?page=1
Extremely rude and dismissive. I had concerns that were not addressed. Monstrous bedside manner. Gave me an extra long scar on the side of my face claiming that it would mimic the smile line of the other side. This was utter insanity and probably just his way of making an excuse for his poor judgment and poor skills. The chin implant I received from him continues to hurt to this day. He was unprofessional and started injecting things into my mouth and gums in the waiting room even before the anesthesia took effect. When I expressed second thoughts about going forward with a second “brush up” surgery that he wanted to do, he cussed me out on the phone, even using vulgar language. He yelled at me and pressured me to follow through with the second surgery. He tried to threaten me. He said that if I postponed the surgery he would never let me be his patient again, that even if I changed my mind he wouldn’t take me back. It is clear that he was upset because I was spoiling his plan to collect two surgery fees from me instead of just one. Never in my life have I encountered someone so unsympathetic, so self-absorbed, so evil, and in the medical field of all places. Trusting him is one of the worst mistakes I’ve ever made. Don’t go to him, or you will be sorry. Or if you do make sure to bring a tape recorder.
So, you've scheduled a first consult with "the expert"? Before you schedule your surgery, here are some questions to ask him:
Are you still a New York City constable, do you still carry a gun, and do you still wear the gun in your office? If as your many positive reviews would lead us to believe you are so beloved by your patients, what would make you want to wear a gun in your office, while seeing patients?
Brandon Su, one of your "ticked off" patients, left negative reviews on some of the big name reviews websites. You responded to his comment. So, tell me, Dr. Zide, If, according to you, you told Brandon Su his scar could not be removed without distortion, why is he so angry? If, according to Su, another doctor was able to fix not only the original scar but the complication you added, doesn't this make nonsense of all your talk about "distortion"?
The mother of a child you operated on was so traumatized by the unprofessional treatment her son received with you and several of your colleagues, she wrote a book about it. Would you mind answering a few questions about certain statements made about you in that book?
On page 85 of “Living Scared” Linda Allone writes that you told her it took you only one year to go from dentist to plastic surgeon, and that you did it for the money. It takes longer to go from tailor’s apprentice to full fledged tailor. Do dentistry and plastic surgery have so much in common that it takes only 12 months to go from one to the other?
On page 155 of “Living Scared” Linda Allone writes that you “used crazy glue inside [her son’s] brain.” Later “Dr. Rosiello” says “we removed that.” Is this true? If so, why did you use Crazy Glue near a person’s brain?
Certain of your published professional writings have become somewhat famous for their unusual character. Would you mind answering a few questions about those writings?
In "What You Can Do Is Not What They Want" your references are 1) "Secrets of Power Persuasion, " 2) "How To Become A Rainmaker, " 3) "How To Close Every Sale." Why is it not unethical for doctors to use the ideas in these books on the public?
You write "If the technique is something I know I can do, I say, 'I can do that very expertly—no problem, ...'" Do you mean that as long as you feel able to do a surgery you are comfortable exaggerating your level of expertise in that surgery?
In "Consensus Is the Negation of Leadership" you write "...the patient even complained about my sofa cushion." Is this the black, vinyl seat pad people had to sit on because you did not want their backsides coming into direct contact with your sofa?
In "Consensus Is the Negation of Leadership" you write "I love what I do. I am not going to stop, ..." What exactly is it that you do and what is it that you love about it?
In "Tales of Greed" you write of doctors who are "con artists" and "sociopaths" and "bad apples who make us all look like “[censored]s.”' Could you please name these doctors so the public can avoid them?
In "I Am Not Alone" you ask "...should I start going to the Emergency Department again? Should I call people who refer others to me and ask them to think of me more?" Why does a "brilliant" surgeon need to scrounge for work to make ends meet?
With your writings indicating that you use manipulation, lies and deception (and encourage other doctors to do the same) why should people believe your glowing testimonials, or the large claims you make about yourself?
What do you say to those who believe that if a doctor is a truly good doctor he doesn't need to plot and scheme and lie and cheat to earn his living, that his honest reputation is enough to bring him patients?
How do you know Lucille Iacovelli "had a huge body-image disorder" and made "'morphed' post-operative ghoulish pictures"? How do you know the "residents" were "fine" and that the procedure "went well"? Were you present? Did you even meet Lucille?
You write "Most patients believe these plaques, and because I know it is all about perception, let them perceive you as special." Do you mean that where patient traffic is concerned, in a contest between truth and lies, lies must always win?
By what sort of magic does the phrase "petty, nebulous presentation of data" when applied to a lie (about pre- and post-operative pictures and HIPAA) diminish the wrongness of the lie?
In "Why My Practice Is So Relaxing" a mother asks you to fudge a claim. You write "Physicians can never be expected to defraud anyone." Why is it that you have no trouble identifying insurance fraud, but not the fraud in your deceptive business practices?
In "I Am Not Alone" you write "...I had time--lots of it. My decision to operate may be more impulsive right now." Do you mean that when business is bad your decision to operate is made by placing your own interests before the interests of patients?
In "Four Patients You Love To Hate" you write "Believe me, it's no picnic seeing my bad results every week." Does this mean you get bad results every week, or that the victims of your bad results return to you weekly?
If you "believe...that the whole 'best' approach is a scam" why do you "tell [your] residents to have a plaque made for themselves no matter where they go"?
In "I Am An Expert For Anything You Want" you write "P.S.: Thanks to Doug Roth for a great title!" Who is Doug Roth?
"On page 85 of “Living Scared” Linda Allone writes that you told her it took you only one year to go from dentist to plastic surgeon, and that you did it for the money. It takes longer to go from tailor’s apprentice to full fledged tailor. Do dentistry and plastic surgery have so much in common that it takes only 12 months to go from one to the other?" Barry Zide got both his DMD and his MD from the same school. In other words he applied from the inside. This is not good. It means nobody took a fresh look at him when considering his application. It means politics was factor in his acceptance.
It appears that Dr. Zide has given up his private practice and taken refuge inside the walls of his hospital affiliation. His private practice used to be located at 420 E. 55th Street. His new address, 222 East 41st Street, is part of the NYU Langone hospital complex. He also appears to have given up the websites www.chinsurgery.com, www.giantnevus.com or www.hemangioma.com. We should ask him if this means he has given up the associated titles of chin expert, giant nevus expert and hemangioma expert as well.
Dr. Barry Zide advertises his services as a medical-legal expert-for-hire on a website called "Juris-pro". How many parties lost their lawsuits because of the testimony of this self-advertised pathological liar? Imagine a chief of police writing articles for a law enforcement magazine describing newer and better ways of planting evidence and beating confessions out of suspects. Imagine a Roman Catholic Bishop sending out an email, to clergy only, describing newer and better ways to charm and win the trust of parents in order to gain access to a child's bedroom. Imagine a senior partner of a powerful law firm publishing letters in lawyers journals describing newer and better ways to suborn perjury and hide exculpatory evidence. Now imagine a dentist/plastic surgeon/professor of plastic surgery publishing a series of letters in a medical journal describing newer and better ways to bamboozle patients, i.e., to commit medical fraud. The last example you don't have to imagine, because it describes everything that Dr. Barry M. Zide stands for.Psychopathic con artists may be found in every profession, in every social class. and in every walk of life. It is no shock then to find one practicing dentistry and plastic surgery. What is shocking is the lack of response from the New York City establishment. Even now, with the infamous writings having let the cat totally out of the bag, the establishment continues to support, promote and protect this deranged predator. New York University continues to employ him as a professor of plastic surgery, Langone Medical Center keeps him on staff, using their hospital website to peddle his crackpot surgeries, and New York City continues to appoint him as a constable and grant him a license to carry a firearm. I believe Zide has managed to fly under the radar because he is a member of a powerful profession. I am also optimistic that, as the case of Jeffrey Epstein shows, there comes a time when even the most powerful are made to answer for their misdeeds.
Dr. Zide's page on the website Vitals.com has just gone from giving him a "bad" rating to giving him an "excellent" rating. All the negative comments have been removed and only positive comments are displayed. Here's how it used to look: https://web.archive.org/web/20190915000716/https://www.vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Barry_Zide/reviews
Omg! rotflmfao! I just tried to go to mmh message boards and all I got was an error message! I cant believe mmh actually took down their message boards to protect these scumbags! what a riot! what a bunch of freaking scumbags!
Pull on this thread and you unravel the whole sweater. One doc writes the how-to book on conning the public and you might have probably cause for intent to commit fraud, or something. Publish it in a medical journal where everybody sees it and nobody voices a concern, and, on the contrary, everybody likes it so much that one of them gives it a title, well, now you might have conspiracy. But it will take a lawsuit for the media to pick it up and then the whole thing will go viral.
Copy the second link. Paste it into your browser. Click enter. Scroll down to the article called "I Am an Expert for Anything You Want." Scroll to the end of the article. Notice Zide's post script: "P.S.: Thanks to Doug Roth for a great title!" Which Doug Roth is he talking about? Doug Roth of Doug Roth's Painting and Carpentry? Doug Roth of Roth's Landscaping and Pool Service? Doug Roth of Roth's Quality Pre-Owned Cars? Rather than indiscriminately looking all over the place, maybe we should begin our search where it makes the most sense to begin it. Maybe we should ask Dr. Douglass A. Roth of the CareMount Medical Group if he has any idea who Barry Zide's Doug Roth might be:

It's incredible. They're all in on it. They present a false friendly face to the public, and their true diabolical natures only to each other. They support each other. Send patients to each other. Testify in defense of each other in medical malpractice lawsuits. They are protected not only by the medical community, but by the powerful alliances they make in the academic, judicial and law enforcement communities. A comparison that comes to mind is a coven of witches, not unlike the ones depicted in horror movies like Rosemary's Baby.
Our defense is communication with each other, and bastions of free speech like this website. Many so-called doctor review websites are nothing but marketing billboards for these monsters. Negative reviews disappear, or get buried in graveyards of "reviews that are not currently recommended."
The writings that Zide authors by himself are of an entirely different character, language and subject matter than those that he co-authors. The writings that he co-authors seem reasonable and professional. The writings for which his name and his name alone appears are disturbing and creepy. To me this suggests that he does little to none of the work and writing in the case of the reasonable, professional ones, that they are entirely written by the other doctors, while the creepy ones are written by him alone.
The old, corrupt italian [censored] that protected these Dr. Frankensteins as moderator on MMH needs to be prosecuted. I bet she took bribes from these doctors. I tried to report her a long time ago to the company and they ignored me. No doubt because they were in on it. Vice needs to do an expose on what happened there. She once wrote a fake post in my name when I criticized one of her favorite doctors.
Shocking. Clearly, Zide is the worst of the worst. But he is also just the tip of the ice berg. Plastic surgery had noble beginnings, as a way to help soldiers horribly disfigured in battle. What it has become is a trade union of con artists who think cutting up a person's body is of little consequence as giving them a haircut.
Dr. Zide contracts with reputation management companies that provide him with fake positive reviews. He gives them an outline of how he wants the reviews to be written and they do the rest. In some cases he even writes his own reviews.
