Not given  the doctor makes it quite obvious that he is only after your money. before a procedure he will treat you like you should be treated answer all your questions but the minute you pay for your procedure good luck getting any great customer service! his sister is part owner and all she does is ask for money she is very rude as well!!! the place is very unorganized the treatments dont even give you the results they say they do, his before and after pictures are not even his!!! I recommend NOBODY to go to this place unless you want to get ripped off with bad results!!!!!!!

He and his sister are the worst.  He actually refused to show me before and after pictures of other patients citing privacy.  I had to have reconstructive surgery.


Comments by thrilled on 08/10/09, 3:58 pm

doesn't either one of you have anything better in life to do than to make up stories?  Go get a life and stop complaining. I recommend writing books, fiction books that is.


Comments by itis?itis on 08/11/09, 7:46 am

I am glad to see the first honest score in months.  At least he didn't show another's Dr's before and after photos.  I guess he's learned that lesson


Comments by Dana2 on 08/11/09, 8:06 am

Maybe those of us who had bad experience should submit photos.  I had reconstructive surgery which fortunately was covered by my insurance.  Even after Rassael botched the first procedure, he charged for trying to repair it.  That turned out worse and I actually went to a real board certified plastic surgery to get the scarring and hernias repaired.


Comments by val79 on 08/11/09, 8:38 am

I am sorry if you had an unpleasant experience. I however feel this site is to help other make an educated decision in selecting a doctor. As with all doctors there are good experiences and bad ones. Please feel free to share your experience/ pictures however, please stop insulting those of us who have had positive results. I will post my pics for those of you who wish to see actual results.


Comments by pebbles86 on 09/01/09, 11:22 am

why dont you post your results then? and your right some people have good experiences and some have bad, but in his case BAD PROCEDURES out weight the good ones! This is a website created for people to share their own experiences so if you dont like whats written then dont be on this site point blank!!!!! if you have the pictures then walk the walk why is it taking you so long to post them?? 


Comments by val79 on 09/01/09, 11:35 am

My results are posted above in this thread. Please use them as an example of his work. Like I have said in my opinion he is a great doctor with fantastic bed side manner. This sight is to obtain information good, bad or indifferent. If you have had a negative experience please share but please do not put down those of us who have had a positive one. And my pictures have been posted since 8/13/09. Just scroll to the top of this page.


Comments by itis?itis on 09/02/09, 10:09 am

Ok 'val'  a few questions.  Do you really think a real Dr needs little old you to defend him on an unofficial site?  Do you know that your saline implants are relatively minor surgery compared to abdominoplasty and silicone implants?  I'm glad your boobs look good, but I want to know what kind of discount you got for your impassioned defense of this fraud.  He's not even a an MD.  Just keep singing his praises and you will be partailly responsible for the person who he butchers or permanently disfigures based on your recommendation.  He will probably be loosing his license to practice medicine at all soon, due to an lawsuit against him that is already going on.  Where is your sense of social responsibility?  Why would you recommend a 'Dr' if theres even a chance that there is a problem with his services or competency?  I hear some women will do almost anything for plastic surgery.


Comments by val79 on 09/02/09, 10:49 am

Well I was just sharing my experience. And no I was not offered anything, as a matter of fact i find that very offensive that you would suggest that I am even that type of person. You are right this is an unofficial site that is intended to inform people. So why do you find it necessary to belittle those who have had a pleasant experience? Leave your information about what you went through. But please try to take out your frustration with the doctor out on his other patients. As I have said before there are risks with every surgery whether its major or minor surgery. Inform yourselves with information and see if elective surgery is worth the risk or not.



Comments by itis?itis on 09/02/09, 7:09 pm

You are a very irresponsible person and obviously there is no reasoning with you.  I'm glad you like your boobs.  I suggest that you got discount because the people in his office admitted that he was offering them for positive reviews.  He will not have license at all soon and you are promoting unecessary risk by defending him.  I was very well informed about surgery prior to mine what I wasn't prepared for was somebody who is not even a Dr to lie and and act so sleazy. In my book you are also sleazy for what you are doing. 


Comments by DrSmith on 10/05/09, 5:41 pm

I've been a patient of  Dr. Rassael's for 3 years and I think the comments by Itis?itis  and pebbles need to be totally disregarded. For some reason, they are on a campaign to ruin his reputation.  Cosmetic surgery has inherent risks associated with it.  Its in the consent form. I recommend reading it carefully before signing.  No doctor of any sort can promise you a given
surgical or medical outcome. Dr. Rassael is a highly competent and highly ethical physician. It is shame that that these two women are this petty and vindicative. All physicians have had patients like you two. I've had your type in my practice. Our malpractice premiums are excessively costly because of  litiginous patients like you that have little knowledge and  inherently unrealistic expectations. BTW, .no one has offered me anything for a positive review.  I am writing this because I am seriously offended that you two are  using the internet to defame a highly competent, and honest physician...and yes Doctors of Osteoplathy ARE real physicians and go through the same training that I have gone through as an MD.  There are many medical schools around the country that have D.O.s as faculty and even chairman of departments of medicine and surgery.  I have no real stake in this. I am an MD who has no business association with this doctor. I  have a leadership position at NIH but no practice in this area.  However, I am aware that this type of slander is inherent in practicing in the community.  


Comments by itis?itis on 10/06/09, 12:57 pm

Really 'Dr. Smith'  the comments on this unofficail website are a fraction of the personal emails I receive from people wh have been injured by him and there are at least 3 open complaints with the MD board of physicians and a lawsuit realting to his osteopath practice.  Don't whine about malpractice premiums.  Osteopaths should not be performing major surgeries and Dr.s of any specialty who have any professional pride and stature are board certified.  Just so you know I forget all about this site until some irresponsible person like you posts something and I get an email notification about it.  So maybe you should let your bud Hadi know that he is drawing attention to his problems by steering people to this site.  He will probably lose his license soon. 


Comments by grniblonde73 on 10/07/09, 9:20 pm

I've kept quiet for the most part and watched the emails back and forth regarding Hadi.  I have to say I can't agree with ever side, defending or the slander.  I can only speak as a victim of this man but only have myself to blame because I chose to hire him.  I was desperate to get my body back after a severe injuiry that had me confined to my bed for 3 months and unable to exercise.  Being a single mom I already knew how selfish I was to spend so much money for cosmetic reasons only but with Hadi the cost was only half of what I was quoted at other offices for more work.  That should have been my first red flag.  I'd rather not go into detail about how horrible was, I believe I've done that once already on here.  I can only tell you that after 4 years and 3 surgeries later I still suffer from the procedure I had with this man.  I will never have my body back and I will always endure pain and complications for the rest of my life because of the terrible decision.  If you had a good procedure, let's just say you were lucky and thank god you did.  If you are considering him for a procedure please consider this very carefully.


Comments by itis?itis on 10/07/09, 11:43 pm

I am sorry for your what you have experienced.  Slander is a false statement.


Comments by dimples1 on 02/18/10, 9:09 pm

Pebbles86 & Itis: I thank the both of you for first posting to this site and second sharing your experiences and the truth which is, exactly what I have gone through. The comment about his sister obsessed with $$$ and rude, after they receive your $$$ it's a done deal - staff becomes very impatient and unprofessional. And also, your procedure comes out horrible or not effective as you were TOLD it would be - to me that's a verbal promise which by law is a verbal agreement. If the both of you have a case pending, I would like to be a part of it. Itis - please post your email again. ~ thanks.

My experience was just as bad - if only I found this site earlier I would of never went along with it. I got the abdominal lipo/flanks and it looks like nothing was never done. It's been 4 months now and no results. The facility where it was performed looked like the nurses were in training...it took 5-6 hours for the procedure and recovery before leaving the facility. I had plenty of surgies with anesthesia and never had trouble to waking up or feeling awful...the person who was with me thought I was going to die...they were so afraid and didn't understand why it took so long for me to wake up from it. As a patient, we should have rights to fight for what's right. As doctors, it's should be right to be honest and not take advantage of your patients with abuse or money. If you truly know that the procedure was not to the patients satisfactory or yours (being a medical professional), then you should either have some sort of reimbursement plan or second recommendation to another doctor (if the patient loss your trust). And if were to follow this, you would have less chances of being sued for accusations.

I just want partial or all my money back...I don't care about any contract that was signed...I have been mentally and physically abused and I want what's mine.
DOCTOR'S WORD OF ADVICE...JUST BE FAIR AND HONEST...MONEY IT'S EVERYTHING...BUT YOUR RESPECT SHOULD BE!!!

Dimples: Did you get any where with your pursuit againist the 'butcher' Sounds very similar to what happened to me! I am so ANGRY at myself as well for rushing into surgery without checking this 'dr' out! what a fool I was!!! My entire abdominal wall is disfigured! The cost of the actual surgery,then trying to get someone else repairing it, time off X 2 times from work,the pain! List go's on and on! My body will never ever be the same. I would hate for this to happen to anybody else. It is just WRONG! Please click on my name and contact me if we can discuss this further. Thanks


Comments by dimples1 on 08/18/10, 7:57 pm

Rubia: Actually, I contacted one the patients...I think Pebbles and she provided the name of an attorney who is working on another persons case...I actually believe the one who case is posted and won. By the time all these people file complaints and sue him there won't any money to go around to provide pay backs...so you have to think will it be a waste of time. I don't I'll go back to anyone else. I checked out one other Board Certified Doctor near the National Harbor...very reputable...maybe after I have kids. Anyway, if you find out anything or any attorney's please send my way. Take care!!!

P.S ~ I'm glad that the courts are in favor of the patient's...it's about time that they stop favoring these doctors!!!


Comments by itis?itis on 08/19/10, 2:18 pm


You guys should definitely pursue you cases.  He is insured or was at the time of your procedures.  I was not 'injured' enough to have a case.  So far my problems are cosmetic, but it sounds like you guys have been injured.  I reall thank all the people who have posted honest experiences about this butcher and am disgusted that there are people who care so little about other people that they would either ignorantly or intentionally reccommend him.  In just want to post again the attorneys I know of that are aware of Rassael's 'work'

good luck with your cases 


Comments by Milycolon on 01/27/13, 4:18 pm

I need some help.  I'm in the process of getting a plastic surgery with dr. Rashell, but after reading these emails, I don't know if I should proceed with my surgery.  Also have anyone got Botox or artefill procedure?  Any luck?
please advice ASAP, will try to schedule surgery in February 2013


Comments by goodfriend on 01/28/13, 7:41 am

I had botox with him and he left me with a huge bruise.  Also deepened my smile lines with artefill.  He didn't put it in the right place.  Still charged a fortune.


Comments by thrilled on 01/28/13, 3:45 pm

I have been getting botox with Dr Rassael since 2008 every 4 months.  he does an amazing job every time.  I did bruise slightly once ( it went away in few days)  and that's a possibility regardless where you go and who does it.  I have never gotten any artefill so I can't help you with that.
He also did perform tummy tuck and liposuction on me back in 2008 and the results came out fantastic.  I would be very happy to talk to you or even show you my results if you wish.  It is great you are doing your homework before attempting to schedule your surgery but if you do you will not regret it.
