Google two articles about this surgeon Usha Rajagopal, "Doctoring the Web" and "SF Plastic Surgeon wants to shut down negative web commenters".

[Hi_Top_Guy]

Thanks for posting that bit of information. Also, for those wanting to check actions against Plastic Surgeons in Calif. go to the California Medical Board's  site. Do a Google search and make sure .gov is in the web address to make sure you're on the legit website.

I can't post the link here, but once you get to the home page click on the "consumers" tab, and then select "Check Your Doctor click here" in the upper left corner. From there you'll be taken to the next page that explains what type of information is listed from the medical board. From here you select "Continue Search," which will take you to the next screen and here's where you type the doctor's name in. All licensed doctors will show up and there will also be any disciplinary actions, if any, listed.

This is a free service and you don't have to sign up for anything. Although you won't be getting any first hand experiences or reviews, you will be provided with necessary information regarding that particular doctor so that you can make an informed choice as to whether or not you want to use that person to handle your surgery.

Thanks for the info HiTop. You can actually read the doctor's entire Disciplinary report online at the Medical Board of California's website.

After googling California Medical Board, click Physician Look Up, click Continue Search at the bottom, then enter the Last and First name in the empty boxes and click search. Then click Usha Rajagopal when the name comes up. Next click the Public Record Documents tab at the top. Then click Decision. After clicking Decision, go to the bottom fourth of the report to read the Cause For Discipline. Thank god this info is available to the public and potential patients read it beforehand.
