BRWTRPILOT - INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER AND NOT A MISLEADING BILLBOARD

When I spoke of Character I was "not" referring to a string of misleading billboards on the I5 or the 485 in SOCAL, I was talking about the owners, Julian and Michael Omidi --- SEE THE LINKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST - They are absolutely unbelievable !!!!!!

Character - Definition - One of the attributes or features that make up and distinguish an "individual" - repeat an individual not a billboard !!

TOPSURGEONS is owned by the Omidi Clan!!

“The billboards advertise Weight Loss Centers, part of a Beverly Hills medical partnership called TopSurgeons. At least one website associated with TopSurgeons says the entity is "owned and operated" by the brothers Julian and Michael Omidi. (Julian Omidi refused to answer my questions last week about his role in the partnership, and other representatives of TopSurgeons refused to confirm the Omidis' ownership. Michael didn't return my calls.)

The Iranian-born Omidis built up high-profile practices in dermatology and cosmetic surgery after receiving their medical licenses in 2000 (Julian) and 2003 (Michael). TopSurgeons currently boasts 11 offices staffed by a total of 11 doctors and other professionals, according to the practice's website.

In 2005, the brothers were featured on the plastic surgery reality show "Dr. 90210" on the E! cable channel, which described them in a press release as "immigrants who have built their multimillion-dollar surgical empire from nothing, and whose mother is in charge of all their business decisions."

Today that press release would have to identify Julian Omidi as a former doctor. His license was revoked in 2009 by the Medical Board of California, which concluded that he had been intentionally deceitful on his license application.

Omidi had failed to mention that he had attended UC Irvine from 1986 to 1990. The board concluded that he did so "most likely" to keep it from learning that he had been expelled from UCI in 1990 for his alleged involvement in the burglary of exam papers. This and other factors led the board to conclude in its June 19 decision that Omidi has "a penchant for dishonesty."
“For other customers, TopSurgeons offers a different solution: Put the bill on a credit card -- specifically the Care Credit card offered by a unit of General Electric Co., which carries an annual interest rate for TopSurgeon patients of 13.9%.

According to Nancy Wambaa, a 51-year-old Los Angeles woman, TopSurgeons "encouraged" her during an office visit last year to fill out an application for the card just to check her credit. A full-time student and Medi-Cal enrollee, she was surprised to be told within hours that she'd been approved, and even more surprised a month later to get a bill for $15,000 from GE, even though she had told TopSurgeons that on her doctor's advice she had decided against the surgery.

TopSurgeons eventually refunded $12,000 but kept $3,000 as a "cancellation fee." She sued the Omidi brothers in state court Aug. 20, 2009, alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and violation of the state consumer protection law. The court file indicates that they never answered her lawsuit, and in December she won a default judgment for the money.”

I strongly suggest that you brush up on the Omidi Brother’s organization. With all the bad press they have received I can see why JER , who controls the surgical center’s might want to change their name by merging with MMRGlobal Inc.

The litigation is now going both ways, back and forth. BL take note, MMRF and the MMRF shareholders don’t need this deal if the OMIDI CLAN is involved.
