The Stein Medical Institute review: He does not care about his patients whatsoever! 60

I saw those ads, funniest thing an a bit, Florida! Don't you get a AK47 with a drivers license down there? The world really would not be a worse place if guys like this disappeared, right? I know if this quack hacked me up it would be time to put him down.

Hey, this is not supposed to be funny I know, But I too came here to look up this guy after seeing endless commercials for the extenze product.

If You listen to ho wthey word things you will get it.
1. they never say Penis.
2. they do say "it Got bigger"

I have read a few more of these Now -

I have to laugh. I mean people are just silly.

maybe that certain part of a male body that they are referring to is your heart as it expands and contracts harder than it ever has while increasing your Blood pressure. LOL

25% bigger - LOL does this not occure when you get out of the ocean? LOL

OH! I got a good one for you to look up. The commercial for the kawasaki green drill and the auger that does all the magic things. Look up "awesome auger" these people will rob you BLIND as well! BUT - they do not cut up your wife and give you a heart attack. LOL

so it's 2AM and i was watching tv and the stupid extenz com came on.
i too looked up dr.stein's practice...
heres the things that i noticed
if you look at the guy on the tv and you look at his picture in the meet our staff section
they dont look alike at all
some of the other pics on the site he kinda does.
but if you look in the meet our staff section does anyone else notice how YOUNG some of these people look
and to say again what has been said
THERE IS NO PART ON HIS SITE THAT SAYS WHERE HE GOT HIS MD
but hey what do i care
i just can't sleep and have nothing better to do at 2 am

He's a modern day quack. Unfortunately he is a licensed medical doctor with the state of Florida. Most states you can search by name for virtually any professional license. He has been disciplined (not surprised) by FL though I am surprised it's only been once. You can read the information on his license and the discipline case below. He's been disciplined by the New York State Board of Professional Medical Conduct, Fine and Reprimand (1/2008).

You can also read his profile information with the state that shows he received his MD from Wayne State University. His residency was in OB/GYN so he's a baby doc operating as a cosmetic surgeon. Legal but risky. Anyone with a shingle can claim to be a cosmetic surgeon. He does not have staff privileges at any hospital. His criminal charges include Domestic Violence (1996, CO), DUI (1998, FL) and Marijuana Possession (1998, FL).

better yet, look at those "random people on the street" and go to any porn shop in the U.S.A. They are all old pornstars..ALL OF THEM..maybe this product did work for them, or maybe their carreers have hit the gutter and they needed a fix, hence the commercial. You people are too political, 3500.00 could easily buy a street thug to take out his "certain part of the male body", I'd take that route instead of vaser, would probably get more enjoyment from it as well.

Just the record, even though the medical records are about you and you do have a right to read them, you are still not allowed to simply walk out and start reading the charts. Under certain circumstances, the physician can disallow someone from reading there records. While that may not (and probably didn't) apply to you, the nurse was still right to prohibit you from reading the chart without an okay from the doctor and/or medical records department.
And while the evidence against this particular physician is fairly obvious, his poor bedside manner shouldn't be used as evidence of his lack of medical skills because they are too seperate issues. I've known many good physicians who were, for lack of a better word, dicks.

You should have go to a different physician, even after the procedure was performed. Buyer beware, my friend.

Sidenote: OB/GYN's aren't really baby docs. Thats a pediatrician or neonatologist.

Talk about disciplined doctors, do a search for L Lee Bosley of the Bosley medical Institute. He has also been disciplined by multiple state medical boards over the years.http://www.bosleymedicalviolations.com/

No pill will enlarge your member, what a scam. Infomercials are so lame. also Kevin Treaudeu (spelling) is another scam artist

I encourage all readers in Florida who are thinking about having ANY procedure performed to first verify their prospective physician's license to practice, board certifications they may hold along with any prior/pending legal issues. This can be easily done through the State of Florida website (myflorida.com).

As for Dr. Daniel S. Stein, the above website shows that his residency was in OB/GYN NOT in plastic surgery, nor is he listed as being "Board Certified" in Plastic Surgery. In addition, there are several listed criminal offenses (3), most of which he has had "ajudication withheld, "(2) as Hillsborough County has several "intervention" programs that allow participants to complete community service in conjunction with supervision to avoid trials and/or convictions. Despite these programs, the physician is still required to disclose this information to the State Medical Board. Although this does not speak to their "professional abilities, " it does give you information about who you are dealing with.

Anyone with internet access and a slight bit of volition should be able to make more informed decisions about obtaining quality medical care.

DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR. He lied to me and several other women. One woman was injured and ended up in the hospital, another was attacked by a male worker (police were called out), and I was disfigured. He lied to me and others. He claimed he was double board certified in cosmetic surgery even doing cosmetic surgery on the "elite" of Beverly Hills and New York. He assured me I would look so good that he wanted me on his website as a before and after photo. After the Vaser procedure, I noticed problems and I went to him for help. He did an examination of me and freaked out. He had a panic look on his face, slammed my file shut refusing to let me see my photos and stormed out of the examining room yelling crazy comments as he went down the hallway. The office manager came in and promised to get my file and all of the paperwork I had requested. She never did. What I received after months of requests was a file with missing information. Missing items like the photos of where I was marked up and, the same photos that I signed an agreement to have Vaser on, as well as after photos I took of the mistakes he made. Missing photos of my face and neck before and after of my now scarred up face and neck due to Marina practicing dermatology and using an IPL machine that she is not licensed to use. I did however get someone else's photos sent to me - she had tattoos and I don't. Some of my personal photos and my personal information were sent to someone else's home in another town. Also to note, Dr. Nancy Bruemmer is his incompetent side kick who does the prescription writing for Stein and Marina. She has no clue of what she is doing. Dr. Bruemmer was and still is well aware of what is going on at that facility. She took photos of mistakes made on me but has no clue about them now. I was referred to Marina Greenwood as a dermatologist by Dr. Stein. She too claimed to be a dermatologist. I received treatment from her under the assumption she was a dermatologist. I found out she was not when my face and neck became scarred and I went to the office manager for help. She is not licensed to use the IPL machine she uses nor prescribe drugs for people. She is practicing medicine and there are 2 doctors here letting her do it. The cost to take a medical malpractice case to court is through the roof so most attorneys will not take these types of cases. Patients are just letting this guy walk because they feel they have no choice. He keeps doing it because so far, he can. IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY OF THESE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH STEIN'S FACILITY, PLEASE EMAIL ME. ALSO, IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM PRACTICING IN ALABAMA, NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA, OR COLORADO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. HE WAS IN THESE PLACES FOR A WHILE AND DID NOT SEEM TO REPORT BEING IN SOME OF THE LOCATIONS ON HIS INFORMATION GIVEN TO THE STATE.

I have been a patient of Dr. Stein for a few years. I have found him to be very nice, knowledgeable and talented in his practice, and I've had no problems with his services, HOWEVER, over the last year, I have gotten the instinctive notion that something is not all up to par with him and his practices. I have experienced the frequent changing of seemingly very important staff, have seen the highly questionable enlargement commercials, (I was embarrassed to be a client after I saw those) but the last straw for me, is his support of and endorsement also of the other doctor in his practice, Dr. Bremmer. She knows nothing about anything at all, and I had a very bad experience with her, and I have not recovered from how she injected botiox in my forehead almost 10 months ago. I have a permanent 1/8 inch dent in my skin, I knew something went wrong when the pain was excruciating while she was injecting me, and botox injections don't hurt in my case. They feel like a little skin ###, but with her, I had to tell her to STOP! I don't know what the hell she was doing, and apparently she didn't know either! Her attitude about it all was quite aloof to boot! All of these things clued me in to the fact that something is not quite right with him and his entire practice, and I will never go back there.

I am a satisfied male patient of Dr. Dan Stein. I have had three satisfactory procedures with the first one done in March of 2008, the second in September of 2009 and the third in March of 2010. I am a well informed professional who works in the medical field. As such I took the time to research my condition and determine what I wanted to accomplish. I carefully considered the physical, emotional and psychological components and then after interviewing several others, selected Dr Stein as the caregiver I wanted to work with.

There is no question that every patient is totally unique and a satisfactory outcome cannot be predicted because it is dependent on things outside the control of the Doctor. Dr. Stein has an extensive multi-page checklist that explains this as well as a number of other vital considerations that every patient receives and acknowledges before a procedure will be done. As a result the complaints about experiences within the Stein Institute are not accurate as stated herein.

I must emphasize that it is your responsibility to be a well informed patient and that you must thoroughly research the procedure you want to have done and you must carefully consider the amount of work that you will have to put into the aftercare to guide your body through the healing process. I in fact did this research in advance and was prepared to actively participate in the process. My contribution included getting my body as ready as possible before my procedures through diet, lifestyle and exercise; followed by clearly expressing my needs, requirements and expectations to Dr. Stein and his staff before the day of the procedures, and then carefully reviewing everything once again immediately before each procedure.

By being prepared I entered into each procedure in the proper frame of mind and with adequate allowances made for my aftercare including time and support. It took approximately 3 months for each of my procedures to reach an approximation of the final result. At 1 year after each procedure I can say a final result was clearly achieved, and as a result you can see how my spacing of the procedures builds one upon another.

Others on this post have mentioned Dr. Bruemmer and she did pre-op and aftercare follow up on me. It was quite clear to me that Dr. Bruemmer had some issues probably related to her age but for me they were completely manageable and I found her to be extremely interesting. I was able to work with her successfully for the tasks she performed. But, under no circumstances, would I allow anyone other than Dr. Dan to actually work on me.

As a patient you not only have the responsibility to be well informed you also have the right to be assertive and to insist that your chosen caregiver be the one who actually performs in the surgical suite. The main complainant in this post, a Jane Price, says she met with Dr. Stein and then had the procedure done by a doctor the next day. Now, framing that statement with the cold gaze of logic does it sound like this patient did her research? Does it sound like she went into the procedure prepared for aftercare. She doesn't say Dr. Stein did the work. She only says "A Doctor". Are you serious? Would you let someone work on you that you cannot even name? Frankly I lost patience with her by the time I got done reading her complaint, so it’s a good thing I’m not her Doctor.

Moving on. EXTENZE. Again, it is important to be a well informed patient and this extends to anyone interested in self-medicating with supplements. The entire arena of supplements that are not actually FDA approved is caveat emptor and you really need a good background in chemistry, biology and medicine to grasp what is involved. After reviewing the ingredients in Extenze I can attest to the fact that it will improve blood flow in your member. As a result you will be essentially semi-hard as long as you take it. It also has a stimulant which is thought to be an aphrodisiac. Your expectations should probably go like this. If you reached adulthood with a 5inch penis and you take Extenze it might measure 6inches while you are on it because of the increased blood flow. If you start with 5inches and expect to grow an 8inch penis using Extenze then your expectations are unrealistic. I tried it and verified the chemistry. What I have stated herein is accurate.

Doctor Qualifications. Many of the commenters on this post don’t get the OB-GYN background. Here it is in a nutshell. OB-GYN is the most litigious practice in medicine and thousands of wonderful doctors have left the specialty. Every OB-GYN does a form of vaginal and abdominal surgery and they have to be excellent at it. Knowing this, when I saw that Doctor Stein had trained originally as an OB-GYN and had now developed a new specialty I completely understood. Mind you, I’m a guy!

So here it is in a nutshell. This is cosmetic surgery people. The outcome is as much dependent on you as it is on the Doctor. If you walk in the door on Monday and say I want this done, and it’s done on a Tuesday you probably have an expectation that on Wednesday you will be on the beach. Well that’s completely crap and it’s not his fault it’s yours. Someone said he’s not a psychiatrist. Well that’s correct but sometimes he probably wishes he had the ability to have his prospective patients screened by one. He cannot cure your underlying manic-depressive issues and he cannot cure the mental component of your underlying poor body image. He can only help you make the cosmetic adjustments that you determine you want done, and in my case he did an excellent job (3 times).

The commenter Cynthia McK immediately above has posted a vicious and slanderous comment. What kind of person does that? Obviously someone in need of a lot of help.

Sadly Dr. Dan Stein has passed away and I took the time to look at a copy of his Death Certificate over at Pinellas County.

For the record, Myocardial Infarction is listed as the cause. That's a heart attack, look it up.

Whether you liked the man or not, he is certainly entitled to the dignity and respect that you would want shown to you upon your passing.

Life is a huge circle and Karma is very real. The vicious and hurtful things you do and say will come back to you with interest paid.

Cyntia McK, your day is coming.

Rest is Peace Dr. Dan.

I know the title of this site is "complaints board" but I feel the need to offer another perspective. My guess is that Dr. Stein has many satisfied customers but that they are just much less likely to be vocal online. For the record, I had a procedure with him one month ago and am satisfied with the results. Also, I don't know about his staff before but his current staff was extremely professional and kind to me.

It was with great sadness that I read a letter that I received today regarding Dr. Stein's death. In my experience, he was very knowledgeable and courteous. He had a friendly smile on his face and I would have recommended him to friends.
May you rest in peace Dr. Stein.

I too feel a need to chime in, and respond to some of these alligations towards Dr. stein as he is no longer here to defend himself. I have had numerous procedures done both surgical and non-surgical and I have had nothing but stellar results. Further more, I have sent my partner there for vaser liposculpture with amazing results, which have been posted on his web site (not stolen from his teacher). My gynocamastia surgery is posted on his web site as well as my mothers "Stein Lift" I also sent a friend in who has been obese his entire life and Stein performed the removal of excess skin around his abdomen and liposculpture as well and he has been very pleased with the out come and his results were also posted. surgurey is never an exact science and everyone responds to it differently. I should know I have been treated for a ruptured bicep with "one of the best" at the Florida Orthopedic institute and 3 weeks later I woke up with my sling still on and the muscle was sitting down in my elbow again. I had ruptured it in my sleep. I didnt blame the Dr. and I went for a second opinion and was told although it is rare it happens. the same thing can be said of cosmetic surgery, there are always risks, you should know that going in, which you would if you read your disclaimer that you had to sign before going under the knife. Dr. Stein was a kind and generous man who helped more people than most people ever will. He treated my family and friends as his own and i will be forever greatful and so will countless others.

It should be noted that commenter POGO 1971 is either concealing something or outright lying, because in the state of Florida there are stringent eligibility requirements involved in obtaining or even viewing a death certificate that lists the cause of death- notably, you have to be a relative of the deceased or named in the deceased's will.
