Ok guys so here it is. I did not intend to write all this so pardon the typos etc, I have to leave
1- The certification problemFirst, I googled ' how to choose a cosmetic surgeon '. I checked the answer on 10 different sites, they all say the same. The #1 point is ' you want a doctor who\'s certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery '. CNN explains why ' legally any doctor is permitted to do any procedure -- a psychiatrist could do a breast augmentation. If you use a board-certified plastic surgeon, you know he or she has completed three to five years of training in general surgery and a minimum of two to three years of training in plastic surgery '.Makes sense. However, perhaps Ostheopathic Medicine is the royal road to Cosmetic Surgery.So I contacted the Kirskville College of Ostheopathic Medicine where Dr Loria received his education, asking if they think Dr Loria's credentials make him a good cosmetic surgeon. They replied ' U.S. trained DOs receive complete training and are licensed in medical and surgical treatment. It would really depend on Dr. Loria\'s postgraduate training (residency). We suggest you contact the national practioner databank, the Florida board of healing arts, or his office to inquire regarding Dr. Loria\'s credentials and training since his graduation. 'The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) states that to be certified a surgeon must ' Satisfactorily complete specialty residency training and be board certified in one of the following surgical specialties: Dermatology; General Surgery; Obstetrics and Gynecology; Opthamology/Oculoplastic Surgery; Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (with MD degree); Otolaryngology; or Plastic Surgery '.
Come on guys, no Ostheopathy ?Anyway. Let's do this. A search at the Florida Board of Medicine shows that Dr Loria did his internship at the Kennedy Memorial Hospital, in family practice. I repeat, Family practice. Basically, colds and sore throats.By comparison, there are 20 cosmetic surgeons in Florida accredited by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. All of them ' each and every one- went through internship or postgraduate eduction is surgery, some in Cosmetic Surgery ; some in Artery Surgery, but always surgery. Some of them have outstanding records in Cosmetic or Plastic Surgery. Not Dr. Loria.
As a comparison, the NYEE Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery offers a Post Graduate Fellowship Program in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery which includes \"performing 100-130 major cosmetic operations under the direct in OR tutelage of one of the staff of 45 Board Certified Plastic Surgeons.\" over 12 months.
Dr Loria has performed none of this.Besides, Dr Loria\'s records show a liability claim of $150,000 settled in April 2007. But that's ok. Maybe he inadvertently cut someone's penis. Dr, if you are reading this, it is just a joke.So to sum up this part, by his own school's standards, and by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery Dr Loria is not a good choice for Cosmetic Surgery, plain and simple
Shady advertisementsI did various searches around the theme of Dr Loria. I found some interesting facts.- On healthgrades.com there are 3 reviews about him. There are 8 criteria. Dr. Loria is below the national average for each of them. Oh, that's for Family Practice, of course, but it tells you something.
- On hairrestorationnetwork.com there is 1 positive comment by a guy who says Dr Loria is awesome. Strangely, this lone guy made only 1 post. Other users of the forum seem to be unconvinced, I quote ' It is always suspect when a poster pops up and raves about a doctor who has received negative reviews on here with no pictures and just one post. It\'s become a pattern actually. John Young, if you wish to do your doctor and his work justice please post some pics of the work. Thank you. ' It may remind something to people here. Also interesting to note is that another member replied in the same thread, saying ' He performed surgery on a young guy (me). I am now in my 40s with awful scars, pitting, pluggy look ( had some removed) in some bigger grafts and pretty much stuck. The single worst thing Ive done in my life is meet DR Loria and let him cut me. ' There are some convincing details to the story.
On the same site Dr Loria himself replied, something along the line of ' I am a good doctor and I guarantee my work. ' and published photos. Unfortunately, one of the members of the forum who works in the graphic design industry, wrote that the photos were obviously ' photoshopped '.
So I requested the opinion of a friend who works for Chanel, doing photoshop retouching, every single day. The guy is an absolute expert. He confirmed. 'very bad photoshopping '. Ooops. That is the Dr himself posting photoshopped pictures. As the forum members began attacking Dr Loria about this, another new member with only one post wrote to say only good things about him. To what 2 other members replying with horror stories about hair grafts gone bad. Dr Loria or someone who pretended to be Dr Loria sent a threatening PM to one of the members. The thread is hilarious.

Talking about photos, there is a comment on Google Plus by a guy who states this ' I met with Dr Loria once. After seeing photos which he claimed was his own work, I ran out of his office as fast as I could. I saw the same exact photos at one of the biggest hair transplant centers just 2 weeks before! Dr Loria failed in Long Island NY (look up his work in Plainview). He is still in cosmetic surgery, yet now he is doing penis enlargements...SERIOUSLY '. This reviewer wrote negative, neutral and positive reviews about other businesses in the area, so it is rather convincing.
On vitals.com there are 15 reviews. Almost all of them are not convincing. To be quite frank they sound like they have been written by an indian SEO shop. I know, I hired two of these in the past and they all have the same writing style. And they praise too much. He is ' second family ', the result ' far exceeded the expectations ' etc.
My favourite is this one ' There are many jealous physicians who find there way on websites such as this to defame and ridicule him. He has helped thousands of people medically and surgically as well. Anyone who knows Dr. Loria knows full well that he cares and would do anything to help you '. Only a bad SEO techie would write this. It does not make any sense.
One of the favourite technique of shady SEO shops is to post comments everywhere, on totally unrelated sites. This is, by the way, against Google Rules (
support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356
) and the linked website should be reported because it is trying to deceive the consumer. But anyway a search with Dr Loria and SEO returns hundreds of shady pages. My favourite is this one :
Frigidaire Refrigerator Reviews | REFRIGERATORGURU.NET
http://www. refrigeratorguru. net/frigidaire-refrigerator- reviews? -
SEO agency says: ...... Dr. Loria: Dr. Victor Loria, D. O., is the medical director of the Boca Raton-based penis enlargement and Reconstructive Surgery ...
At least it is clear, we now know who is behind all these posts. ' SEO Agency ' himself.
Note the relevance of the subject. What the heck. Hair loss, penis surgery, frigidaire' It's all the same, innit.
Just to confirm the use of a shady SEO boutique, the videos from the website of Dr Loria, penis enlargementus, are hosted on servers ns1.seovideoservice.com. A look at the page seovideoservice.com gives a good idea of how serious this company is. ' complete marketing services. Test. Test post '. And the domain identity is protected by ' domainbyproxy '. Who needs to hide their identity ? But let's say these reviews are genuine. None of them are about penile surgery. Hair transplant is probably not such a difficult technique, is it, but then why would one of the comments speak about the really bad experience they had with him ? Oh, and some positive comments are about his weight loss activity, not surgery.
I contacted via PM LongTexan, who asked me to contact him (he gave me his email) so that I could call his phone number so he could explain things to me. He also added this
I am happy with results. I feel more comfortable talking about these matters than subjecting myself to all the criticisms of others.. Dr. L is a good option in my opinion I did my research and talked to 6 former patients. I talked to him on phone on many occasions. It seemed like the best option for me. I just want to help others decide for themselves. Because it is you and yours that will have to live with the results. And it was easier for me to decide after talking to many former patients. And it all went down just as they told me. Very professional and positive experience. I had the second procedure two days ago. I know you have a lot of questions as did I ll share with you my experience and results.
The address email he gave me seems to belong to a real person. I found two posts from the same email address, one on a site about farms equipment, one about penis pumps dating back to 2007. So I would say this could be real, however all the rest is far too bad. Too many red flags.
What we have is a Dr who did not receive specific training in cosmetic surgery or urology, who pays a cheap SEO company to write good reviews about him, who posts photoshopped photos or photos of jobs he did not do. Plus the rest of the thread here.
I wonder if he will threaten me. I was sincerly hoping his procedure was good, but, sorry Dr, you are not going to have my dick in your hands.
disease, then there is no country on the planet that I\'d rather be treated than the US. However, the fact the standards of health care can be so good and there is a good legal system for those seeking recompense, can give people a false sense of security. Every country has it\'s bad PE surgeons, but I don\'t think anywhere can rival the likes of Sheldon Burman, Gary Rheinschild, James Elist, Ricardo Samiter or Mel Rosenstein. Btw you penis is huge. You don\'t need to consider an enlargement procedure. Also at the moment one of our members is making good progress investigating a good temporary option and the Dr is based in Florida. Wouldn\'t that be a better compromise than allowing and osteopath to inject with a a product that very little is known about for filling large volumes and the manufacturer explicitly states shouldn\'t be used in this manner?
