Idaho Doctor Sued for Using Fake Breast Implants

A plastic surgeon in Burley, Idaho is being sued by four former patients for giving them counterfeit Botox and breast implants.  The accused doctor, Dr. Temp Patterson, has since closed his cosmetic surgery business.  The suit accuses Dr. Patterson of intentionally, and without notifying the patients, switching counterfeit Botox and breast implants, manufactured in China, in for proper Botox and implants.  The suit also alleges that the doctor was part of an enterprise which distributed the Chinese manufactured fake Botox and implants.

This case is a reminder that we all need to be careful in the doctors we choose.  While many enter the business to help people, many others look to exploit clients for financial gain.  All doctors have a duty to treat you correctly and properly, and while Dr. Patterson is accused of intentionally fooling his patients, intent to do wrong is not a requirement.  Even if your doctor mistakenly gave you less than top notch treatment, you may be legally entitled to fair and just compensation.  If you think this may be the case, reach out to Plattner Verderame, P.C.  We are honest attorneys who spend our days helping honest clients.
