Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat & Dr. Carlos J. Puig are INCOMPETENT

[gras9965]

Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat (aka Dr. Tony Mangubat, LA BELLE VIE Cosmetic
Surgery Centers http://www.labelleviecosmetic.com, used to be known as
Southcenter Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa ) & Dr. Carlos J. Puig
(Physicians’ Hair Restoration Center (PHRC)) http://www.hairrestorationhouston.com/index.php
are INCOMPETENT—PROOF in links below.

This is a NON-COMMERCIAL posting/website. Any statements I make below
are my own opinion.

To read PROOF of Dr. E Antonio Mangubat’s (aka Dr Tony Mangubat’s)
INCOMPETENCE, please follow these links:

Dr. Mangubat was a surgeon with Puig Medical Group (PMG) from 1989 –
1996. Follow this link for the truth about PMG:

http://www.angelfire.com/indie/hairtransplant/94book.html

OR keep reading below.

As described below, Dr. Mangubat was a FULL PARTICIPANT in PMG’s
incompetent, unethical, and illegal conduct that is a COMPLETE
DISGRACE to the medical profession. Dr. Tony Mangubat’s (aka Dr. E.
Antonio Mangubat ) and Dr. Carlos J. Puig’s licenses to practice
medicine should have been REVOKED a LONG TIME AGO!!!!

I posted online my HORRIBLE experience as a hair transplant patient of
Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat (aka Dr. Tony Mangubat, LA BELLE VIE Cosmetic
Surgery Centers) in the mid 1990s (link:
http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/antonio-mangubat-hair-transplant-doctor-c251385.html
). Dr. Mangubat denied my claims and suggested that I was unfairly
damaging his reputation. I will now present PROOF of Dr. Tony
Mangubat’s sheer incompetence and his unethical, deceptive, and
illegal conduct.

According to Dr. Tony Mangubat’s OWN resume posted on his website
(link: http://www.labelleviecosmetic.com/mangubat.shtml ), he was a
cosmetic surgeon for Puig Medical Group (“PMG”, aka Cleveland Hair
Centers) from 1989 – 1996. From Dr. Mangubat’s official resume,
“Professional Affiliations” section:

Physician/Surgeon, Puig Medical Group, Chicago, IL, Washington,
DC 1989-1996

I have also posted at the bottom of this webpage links to pgs 1 – 3 of
Dr. Tony Mangubat’s (aka Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat, ) resume as HE
posted it online on HIS website, LA BELLE VIE Cosmetic Surgery
Centers, on 12/5/2010.

As described in elaborate detail by another VICTIM of PMG, PMG and its
doctors like Dr. Tony Mangubat (aka Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat) and his
former boss at PMG Dr. Carlos J. Puig were engaged in INCOMPETENT,
UNETHICAL, and ILLEGAL conduct and used high pressure sales and false
advertising to lure unsuspecting clients to become their patients.

This person (I don’t know who he is so I will call him Mr. X) was kind
enough to post scanned copies of PMG’s 1994 totally deceptive, false,
and fraudulent marketing/sales letters and brochure that used
completely unethical high pressure sales tactics. PLEASE NOTE: Dr.
Tony Mangubat (aka Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat, LA BELLE VIE Cosmetic
Surgery Centers) worked for PMG from 1989 to 1996, and so he CANNOT
deny that he was a member of PMG’s medical team when this 1994
marketing brochure and cover letter were sent to potential clients,
including me.

In mid 1990s, Dr. Tony Mangubat (aka Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat ) and PMG
promised to cure my premature baldness in my 20s and give me a “full
head of hair” [these words are an exact quote of a complete LIE from
the PMG cover letter, see below] after the hair transplants and
“Brandy” scalp reduction surgeries. Instead, Dr. Tony Mangubat (aka
Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat ) left my head COMPLETELY SCARRED AND
DISFIGURED with only a few hairs growing that was of VERY LITTLE, if
any, cosmetic significance!!!! He basically left me looking like a
FREAK!! I have had AT LEAST 10 reconstructive cosmetic surgeries to
reverse what Dr. Tony Mangubat did to me, and to look at least
somewhat normal and not like a FREAK!!

I became a patient of PMG in the mid 1990s and I received the SAME
1994 brochure and letters that Mr. X posted on his website with the
SAME LIES,HARD SELL & FALSE ADVERTISING and DECEPTIVE LANGUAGE. Please
follow the link below for the “cover letter” I received from Puig
Medical Group’s (PMG) in 1994:

The letter in the above link is Puig Medical Group’s (PMG) 1994 Cover
letter that I received when I inquired about getting hair transplants
done with PMG. This letter is FILLED with LIES,HARD SELL TACTICS &
FALSE ADVERTISING and DECEPTIVE LANGUAGE.

The most BLATANT and COMPLETELY 100% LIE is when in the cover letter,
PMG promised the potential client that PMG’s hair transplants will
result in a “full head of hair” [2nd line of 2nd para of letter] that
is "virtually non-detectible." [5th bullet in letter] No HALF-
competent hair transplant doctor would ever say this because of the
limited amount of donor hair in the back of the head of a typical
hairloss patient, such as me. But PMG was perfectly willing to say
this to MAXIMIZE its sales and LURE unsuspecting clients into
selecting PMG instead of one of its competitors.

If Dr. Tony Mangubat (aka Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat ) & Dr. Carlos J.
Puig were HALF-honest with their patients, they would have NEVER
claimed to restore a “full head of hair” in the PMG’s cover letter to
me and other potential clients!!

Antonio Mangubat) resume in the mid-1990s that I received from PMG:

Above link is to Page 1 of Dr. Tony Mangubat’s (aka Dr. E. Antonio
Mangubat) mid-1990s resume that I received from Puig Medical Group in
1994. Please note that on Page 1, the part underlined in red clearly
shows that Dr. Tony Mangubat was a doctor with Puig Medical Group from
1989 until the date of the resume (i.e. mid-1990s). So Dr. Mangubat
cannot deny that he was a doctor with PMG in the mid-1990s, even if he
may want to now!!

Please follow link below for Page 2 of Dr. Mangubat’s 1994 resume
while at PMG. Please note the text at the bottom [underlined in red],
which CLEARLY shows that Dr. Mangubat performed “Brandy”-style scalp
surgeries that left me SCARRED and DISFIGURED. “Brandy” refers to Dr.
Dominic Brandy, who was in 1996 SUED and PAID damages for performing
such scalp reduction procedures [link to a news article about this:

did a few "Brady" scalp reduction procedures on me. As I just

The above links are to the Cover Page, & Pages 1 of Puig Medical
Group’s 1994 marketing brochure is FILLED with MISLEADING STATEMENTS,
UNETHICAL HARD SELL tactics, and OUTRIGHT LIES.

- E.g. OUTRIGHT LIES: “Advances in surgical techniques now allow for
complete and permanent correction of this cosmetic
imperfection.” [Page 1 of PMG booklet] A COMPLETE LIE: even in 2012,
advances in surgical techniques do NOT allow for a complete correction
of baldness (i.e. a “full head of hair” as claimed by PMG”) for most
hairloss patients. The key challenge is limited donor hair in the back
of the head, and any HALF-competent, ethical doctor would know this
and never make this claim (i.e. this 100% LIE) of “complete
correction” made by PMG.
- E.g. of HARD SELL tactics: “Let's face it: baldness suggests
premature aging.” [Page 1 of PMG booklet]. Male pattern baldness is
due to a person having genes programmed to result in hairloss, and
that’s it; baldness has NOTHING to do with premature aging!!

Please follow link below for page 7 of the 1994 booklet that contains
LIES based on what is OMITTED from the text.

-Another E.g. of OUTRIGHT LIES, “Bald Area Reduction … can eliminate a
major portion of the bald area.” [Page 7 of PMG’s 1994 booklet] This
is a LIE because of what is OMITTED from this claim. Bald area
reduction is MAJOR surgery that leaves the head with LARGE SCARS
around the scalp area that is removed. In my case, Dr. Tony Mangubat
performed a few “Brandy” scalp reduction procedures on me that left a
HUGE U-shaped or horse-shoe shaped 8+ inch long and ½ inch thick SCAR
from one TEMPLE to the CROWN and back down to the other TEMPLE on my
head!! More info on scalp reduction surgeries here:

http://www.angelfire.com/indie/hairtransplant/scalp.html

(see above for LAWSUIT in 1996 regarding “Brandy” scalp surgeries,
also see this 1996 news article:

http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19960915&slug=2349352
)

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/514377/HAIR-DOCTOR-HAS-A-BRUSH-WITH-THE-LAW.html

But PMG in its marketing brochure makes NO MENTION of any scarring!!!!
Talk about doctors (PMG doctors like Dr. Carlos J. Puig & Dr. Tony
Mangubat) who leave out CRITICAL info needed for a patient to make an
informed decision about the major surgery!!!!

Please follow link below for an insert page from the 1994 PMG booklet
that has more LIES!!

- E.g. of Misleading statement/LIE: “The most natural hairline that
is virtually undetectable...Cosmetically incredible….You will look and
feel the way you hoped to AGAIN!!” [Insert page in link above of PMG
booklet] In the case of most patients, including me, another COMPLETE
LIE. My hairline was anything BUT natural after Dr. Mangubat's
procedures with a few hairs growing in different parts of the hairline
and the majority of the front hairline with no hair at all!! With the
LIMITED amount of donor hair and hairloss on the front and crown in
many patients, there is NO WAY there would be enough donor hair for
hair transplants to result in a "full head of hair" with a "virtually
undetectable" hairline!!!! And yet, PMG was perfectly willing to
promise "you will look and feel the way you hoped to AGAIN!!"

So, as Mr. X asked in his review of PMG, “WHY is the Puig Medical
Group creating this false premise in the minds of potential patients?
Because building FALSE HOPES in patients is good for BOOSTING SALES.”
Dr. Tony Mangubat (aka Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat) was part of the team
at PMG that ONLY cared about SALES, and patient’s welfare was NOT a
main concern. That is why doctors at PMG (e.g. Dr. Tony Mangubat & Dr.
Carlos J. Puig) were willing to say ANYTHING, EVEN OUTRIGHT LIES, to
ensure that the potential client would select PMG, and not one of its
competitors, for hair transplants.


NO ONE has to just rely on my review to decide that Dr. Tony Mangubat
(aka Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat) and Dr. Carlos J. Puig are COMPLETELY
INCOMPETENT. Anyone can just read the 1994 cover letters & marketing
brochures of Puig Medical Group itself to come to your own
conclusions.

(again available here:

http://www.angelfire.com/indie/hairtransplant/94book.html

and here:

http://picasaweb.google.com/117812991164449030691/DrCarlosPuigDrEAntonioMangubat#
)

When you read these documents, you’ll see for yourself the TOTALLY
deceptive practices, false advertising, and outright LIES that PMG’s
doctors engaged in to lure unsuspecting clients.

Let me STRESS again, Dr. Tony Mangubat (aka Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat )
himself on his online resume PROUDLY says that he worked as a
cosmetic surgeon at PMG from 1989 – 1996, and he therefore was a FULL
PARTICIPANT in PMG’s incompetent, unethical, and illegal conduct that
is a COMPLETE DISGRACE to the medical profession. I know this
FIRSTHAND because of what Dr. Tony Mangubat (aka Dr. E. Antonio
Mangubat ) did to me, i.e. promised me a “full head of hair”, and
left me SCARRED and DISFIGURED!!

If Dr. Tony Mangubat (aka Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat ) argues that he
never saw or participated in any deceptive practices and/or GROSSLY
OVER-PROMISING on the results to potential clients, you have to
believe that he NEVER read any of PMG’s marketing literature or
letters or discussed or participated in surgeries or consultations
with clients during his ENTIRE SEVEN year stint as a Physician/Surgeon
at PMG—this is a COMPLETELY LAUGHABLE argument!!!!!

Please note that I am not the author of Mr. X’s angelfire website on
PMG, but I completely agree with what this person Mr. X says. This
person is another totally INNOCENT VICTIM of PMG and its INCOMPETENT
FRAUD doctors (e.g. Dr. Carlos J. Puig & Dr. Tony Mangubat (aka Dr. E.
Antonio Mangubat). Dr. Tony Mangubat’s (aka Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat )
and Dr. Carlos J. Puig’s licenses to practice medicine should have
been REVOKED a LONG TIME AGO!!!!

If after reading this posting, Dr. Tony Mangubat (aka Dr. E. Antonio
Mangubat ) decides to delete the reference to Puig Medical Group from
his official resume on his website, LA BELLE VIE Cosmetic Surgery
Centers, the 1st question you MUST ask him just exactly where did he
work from 1989 – 1996 and did he ever work for Puig Medical Group ??!!

Please follow links below for screenshots of the 1st 3 pages of Dr.
Tony Mangubat's (aka Dr. E Antonio Mangubat) resume as HE POSTED it
online on HIS website on 12/5/2010, LA BELLE VIE Cosmetic Surgery
Centers (used to be known as Southcenter Cosmetic Surgery & Medical
Spa):
http://www.labelleviecosmetic.com/mangubat.shtml . On page 3, he
CLEARLY STATES that he worked for Puig Medical Group from 1989 - 1996:
