I had my consultation with one doctor but my surgery was performed with another. I had to consult with the new doctor on the morning of surgery. I paid for General anaesthesia and on the morning of surgery was told I would only be receiving local anaesthesia, as you can imagine this made me feel very anxious and unsettled. After multiple e-mails and calls I was refunded the money for general anaesthetic. After my surgery only later that day I suffered heavy bleeding. I returned to the clinic and had to argue in pain that the long travel in and out of Dublin city should not be my expense due to their error during surgery. One year later it was more than evident the surgery was a failure and I needed a revision. The reception staff at this clinic are disgustingly rude!!! They rushed me, were unsympathetic, and used bully tactics to get me off the phone in the hopes I would not pursue the revision that was required. They even once hung up on me mid sentence. I was flabbergasted and furious but at the same time frightened of how this awful situation would be rectified. Can you imagine how this makes a patient feel when they have had an unsuccessful surgery, paid thousands of euro, wasted weeks of their time only to be confronted with these malicious bimbo receptionists???
A consultation was finally made for a revision with a different surgeon than the one who carried out my surgery – ridiculous!!! They then called me for yet another consultation with the original surgeon who would be again doing the revision, wasting my time, I said absolutely no way would I be driving one hour out to Wicklow for another consultation after they wasted my time with the previous consultation. I demanded to see the doctor on the morning of surgery like the first time. The day before my surgery they called me over 3 times to change the time of appointment. On the day of surgery I arrived at the clinic to an icy reception environment. Can you believe I waited for THREE hours before the Dr. finally saw me??? I informed the Dr. of how difficult and how uncomfortable the reception staff made me feel during my time with Avoca.
I implore you to look elsewhere for your cosmetic procedures, no matter how big or small. I hope this reaches as many readers as possible as I would never want anyone to go through what I did. NOTE: They changed their name from COSMEDICO to Avoca Clinic due to a patient almost dying from a breast augmentation there (link below). What I still can’t believe is how some of the staff at Avoca can be so ignorant to think that being so outrageously rude will not come back to haunt them like this review, pathetic!!!
