Medical professionals frequently behave otherwise. Dr. Saks apparently has a long history of misdeeds including 6 months in prison for tax evasion in 1990, a $1.1 million dollar fine, multiple license suspensions including one for the death of a liposuction patient at which time Dr. Saks admitted to improperly assessing the high-risk patient before embarking on the surgery, and failing to adequately monitor her after the operation.
His most recent fraud for billing both patients and insurance companies will land him in prison for three years.
Here is a character assessment from a cousin of Dr. Saks: "I'm not a psychologist. I don't know why people who have everything sometimes do stupid things," said Moshe Reiss, a cousin in Montreal. "I'm sure that you will find somebody who will say bad things about even the best plastic surgeons. These guys work with people who want to take imperfect and make it into perfect, and obviously not everybody is happy with the results."
And for kicks he sued, and lost, Charity Mission Baptist Church for fraud.
Tread carefully....
