An
Open
Letter
To
Dr
Sylvia
Ramirez:
Dear
Dr
Sylvia,
I
came
to
your
clinic
years
ago
when
I
was
teen
to
treat
my
acne
and
you
encouraged
me
to
undergo
a
strong
chemical
peel
(VI
Peel).
After
1st
treatment
I
saw
some
bad
side
effects
and
quickly
made
an
appointment
and
came
to
see
you.
I
waited
2
hours
in
your
clinic
while
the
nurses
pandered
me
and
told
me
that
you
refused
to
see
me
because
my
concerns
were
not
real.
When
you
finally
saw
me,
you
assured
me
that
my
skin
was
fine.
After
my
2nd
treatment
I
developed
cystic
acne
and
I
was
so
traumatised
that
I
never
saw
you
again.
During
this
time
I
developed
depression
for
about
2
years
and
barely
left
the
house.
I
saw
more
than
5
dermatologists
after,
who
all
told
me
my
acne
was
so
severe
that
I
had
to
take
Roaccutane.
I
spent
at
least
3
times
the
amount
at
your
clinic
to
try
and
recover
my
skin
to
how
it
was
before.
I’m
in
my
20s
now
and
till
this
day,
I
still
struggle
with
severe
acne,
acne
scars,
and
not
least
my
confidence.
The
truth
is,
looking
back,
you
knew
it
wasn’t
necessary
for
me
to
undergo
that
strong
chemical
peel.
I
know
this
because
all
the
dermatologists
I’ve
seen
after
you
had
my
best
interest
at
heart
and
would
tell
me
when
a
treatment
wasn’t
necessary,
even
thought
they
would
earn
a
lot
more
if
they
hadn’t
said
anything.
I
felt
like
you
took
advantage
of
my
naïveté
to
earn
more
money
at
the
expense
of
my
health
and
the
irreversible
physical
and
psychological
damage
you
have
caused
me
as
a
teen
still
shakes
me
till
this
day.
Meeting
you
is
one
of
my
biggest
regrets
in
life.
I
hope
that
you
would
one
day
consider
placing
the
well
being
of
your
patients
above
financial
gain
because
no
one
should
have
to
go
through
what
I
went
through.
