Possible associated clinics: I have been receiving emails from people who have noticed websites containing pictures and formatting from Bittner's site. This does not mean that he is associated with them, but since he seems to be franchising, it could be very posibble. I would be very cautious. Please notify me of others.

December 28, 2008-- New news stories are popping up everywhere! Please see the victims and facts pages for more info!

November 14, 2008--11:45 am---(This post will be updated for a while, check back!)
The Medical Board of California served a warrant on Dr. Bittner’s Beverly Hills Office today, seizing medical records, documents, videos and other evidence in their investigation against him. Patients were turned away as the investigators conducted their investigation. It’s about time!

*Records: As noted on the home page, legal, certified requests for medical records were ingored for many patients. I requested mine in April, never received them and have now been told by the Medical Board that they did not find them.

*Update 12/28: The office is closed. News media all over the world is carrying this story. If you are a victim, Please file a complaint with the Medical Board so that the volume of of complainants will have the greatest impact possible on disciplinary action. Some countries will not license a doctor whose license was revoked here. Please keep checking the News, Facts, Victims and Help pages for infromation that may help you.

*Update 11/25: See the arrogant letter that bittner sent to his victims..er..."patients." Is he so arrogant that he thinks anyone will believe this?

*Update 11/24: Longer version of last week's news story. http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=84390@kcbs.dayport.com Keywords for archive: "former patients."

*Update 11/18: I have been informed by a relaible source that Dr. Bittner has fled the country. It is thought that he may be "organizing" the funds that he holds in offshore accounts. It is not known if or when he will return.

*Update 11/17: Agents also served warrants to search Bittner's home and vehicle.
*Update 11/14: A news story is expected today on KCBS Action News at 5 pm. Story will run at 8/9/10 pm on Channel 9 as well. Expect a full story sometime next week.

*PHONE CALL 11/17: At about 2:14 this morning I got a phone call from an unidentified number. Our phone service sends unidentified calls directly to voice mail. It was short. A male voice said "bitch." Three guesses, the first two don't count. Very mature and professional! So that is what "bitch" means! A person who tells the truth and refuses to lie down and be a $10K doormat for a greedy person who breaks laws and takes advantage of others! It is official, I am a bitch! I can live with it.

Anyone who still has not contacted the board with your story....now is the time!

TO ALL FORMER PATIENTS: Regardless of your results, if you feel violated knowing that those who perfomed your surgery and provided care may have not been licensed to do so, your information is needed. Please fiel a complaint with the California Medical Board!

Franchises/ LLC's:
The folks at Beverly Hills Liposculpture have recorded 3 new LLC's, limited liability companies. Officer's/member's personal assets are protected from litigation. They take a salary out of the profits and are able adjust it so that the company itself has minimum assets. This can leave the company with little resources to pay damages for negligence or other compensible offenses.

Take notice of the agents for service and addresses for the new LLC's.

  • Stephanie Darcy is rumored to be the doctor's wife or girlfriend and was the marketing director at Ameriscan.
  • Selwyn Gerber is a CPA, and seems to be the founding partner of another local "investment" firm as well as an officer for the Jewish Community Foundation and a teacher at the University of Judaism in Bel Aire. (Although only one student has "rated" him..hmmmm). His Amazon nickname is "offshorepro." While there is nothing wrong with making and saving money, being able to "store" money out of the country certainly has some ethical issues. And folks wonder why we have an economic crisis??? If we send it to other countries we certainly aren't helping ourselves. Bring it in, don't send it out! But more importantly, offshore accounts are very often used to hide money, not something I would brag about.
  • There also seems to be some discrepancies in the LLC`addresses and it is possible that the Sacramento address might belong to a rabbi. Nice.....relgion helping to hide and misdirect...or at least it seems so.
  • There is some question that the changes and new "clinic" sites might have been made in order to further conceal associations with the original clinic and patient complaints.

LipoDeisel?:
As silly as it sounds, this was actually proposed in Norway in 2005. Of course, our good doctor never misses a chance to make a buck and capitalize on the pain of others. (Women and men who look to lipo usually do so because they have some pain about the shape of their bodies, some warranted, some not. The let's talk about the physical pain....)

  • Consent?: The doctor seems to be saving on gasoline in his vehicle. But I wonder if the fat he is using is from people who CONSENTED to such a use? And, how would anyone know? Once it is used there would be no way to verify consent.
  • Approved by the EPA?: There also seems to be a question whether this proceedure is approved under any federal office
  • Dangers?: This doctor does no biological pre-screening on his patients (or didn't in the known past). How do we know that there are not contagions that might be dangerous? Is he payinbg for testing of every bottle of fat?
  • Environmental Do-Gooder?: Of course he is trying to make us all think that he is doing his part to "go green." Does anyone really believe this? There have been a few medical discussion board posts supporting this, but they all seem to be members that many people believe are the doctor and his employees. The most salient issue here is safety and legality. Given Ameriscan, reinventing himself as "the" liposuction wizard, changing company names and forming LLC's under suspicious registry, law suites for negligence and false advertising, and lipodiesel...the environment is probably just a convenient vehicle to a bigger offshore bank account. If the doctor is so green, why is he putting lipodiesel into his.......SUV?

I can't help but conjure up the picture of a basement laboratory and severed body parts.......and I vote FOR stem cell research!

This topic was discussed on a Plasmetic board, but there were some inappropriate comments made on one post. The thread was closed, however instead of removing just the one inflamitory post, others were also deleted. The most pertinent deletion addressed a "poster" who seems to make unfounded claims against the legitimacy of those who have been harmed by Dr. Bittner. "She" also seems to have the inside scoop on his new "testimonials," whose sites are designed by the same company who designs for the doctor.....Was it unsolicited or damage control?
