“They bled, he fled” is how the New York Post began its story about Dr. Amnon Eric Sadeh, a Manhattan plastic surgeon some are saying has left the United States while – as the newspaper put it – “leaving a trail of patients upset about botched tummy tucks and liposuctions and unable to get their medical records.”
Sadeh’s license to practice medicine was reportedly revoked early in May for allegedly failing to supply requested patient medical records and no-showing a hearing.
Authorities have been looking for Sadeh since 2016. Last August, according to state Health Department documents, his mother reportedly told officials her son was in Israel.
“Ana Kardashian said she never got records for her daughter’s 2015 nose job despite complaining to the state. She said her daughter landed in the hospital after Sadeh overprescribed pain medication after surgery,” the Post reported. “The New York Department of Health — that’s the most upsetting,” the mom said. “I would assume they would do something more efficiently, but they made us wait for a very long time and then … they said the guy cannot be located.”
The doctor’s web site, http://sadehsurgery.com/, describes Sadeh as a board certified plastic surgeon specializing in aesthetic plastic surgery of the face, breasts and body. “His primary focus and areas of expertise are breast enlargement and reduction surgery, body contouring procedures, nasal surgery and facial rejuvenation including face/neck lifts combined with eyelid surgery.”
Sadeh graduated with a BS Magna Cum Laude from Tufts University School of Engineering, and received his M.D. from Mount Sinai School of Medicine with honors in surgery and psychiatry, the site relates. He did a year of neurosurgical training before completing his general surgical training at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. He then completed his plastic surgery residency at the State University of New York with additional fellowship training in reconstructive surgery at the prestigious University of Pittsburgh.
“In private practice since 1996, Dr. Sadeh’s primary office is in Manhattan and he maintains attending privileges at several New York Hospitals,” the description continues. “He is involved in training the new generation of plastic surgeons at Lenox Hill Hospital and the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. Dr. Sadeh has lectured and presented on topics ranging from reconstructive breast surgery and innovative new techniques for breast reduction surgery to endoscopic craniofacial surgery for facial rejuvenation. He has been featured in numerous publications including Cosmopolitan, Allure, Gotham, Hamptons, New York Post, New York Observer, OK Magazine and US Weekly and continues to be a sought after expert on various topics in plastic surgery.”
