According to the local station, the spa’s director, Amber Larsen, was unaware of Davis’ real identity and past.
“Do your patients know you have a suspended license? Will you tell anyone about Windell Boutte during your consultation?’ the journalist asked Davis.
“You’re bothering someone,” Larsen said. When told her name was Windell Boutte, Larsen replied, “Uh, no, it’s not.”
After realizing her co-worker had previously been charged, the spa removed the credentials of Boutte, who now owns Davis.
But her credentials read: “Mrs. Davis received her Doctor of Medicine degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
“She completed her internal medicine internship at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, followed by her dermatology residency at Emory University.
After realizing her colleague had previously been successfully sued, the Spa removed the credentials of Boutte, who is now Davis’ doctor and owner.
‘Her extensive knowledge and experience have given her the unique ability to perform the most advanced aesthetic procedures with ultimate effectiveness and detailed precision. She strongly believes in the mission to achieve only the most innovative and superior results with every procedure.”
“She still presents herself as a doctor who has all these qualifications. But she leaves a lot of important information behind,” said Susan Witt, an attorney representing Boutte’s former patients.
At the time of the lawsuit, dozens of videos were found showing Boutte jumping around in the operating room, even while making incisions on her patients.
In one video, Boutte sings the rap lyrics “I’m ’bout to cut it,” from a rap song by OT Genasis, before cutting into one of her patients.
Mitzi McFarland, who also underwent surgery with Boutte, said the results were “more like a Freddy Krueger cut in my stomach.”
In 2013, a woman who went to Boutte at Premiere Dermatology and Surgery for scalp irritation said she contracted MRSA during treatment.
She said she has suffered permanent scarring on her scalp as a result.
