01/11/2020

Incredible care and friendly and knowledgeable staff. I felt truly cared for before, during and after surgery by their team.

01/11/2020

Dr. Waldorf is excellent at what she does, she explained the surgery, the impact and expected results. Given my heavy lids I needed additional time to heal before wearing my contacts because of the sensitivity. I recovered quickly from the initial surgery and my post op is going great so far. The biggest resultz are the compliments!! I look awake and it has really changed my face and how I personally feel. Everyone says I look so refreshed! I am 100% satisfied with Dr. Waldorf, the staff and surgery center.

01/10/2020

I was highly satisfied by my experience at the Waldorf sentence for a few reasons. For starters, the waiting room/lobby is beautiful and the front desk staff were so sweet and welcoming. On top of that, meeting Dr. Waldorf was just the icing on the cake. She was so sweet and so knowledgeable. She somehow made the experience seem so much more relaxed and less stressful than I had worked it up in my head.

01/09/2020

I've been a patient since 2005 and always appreciate the quality care, the lack of pressure to do more and the help in accessing all the discounts and coupons. [Single best thing is...] My frown lines are smoothed out... love me that Botox!

12/27/2019

I appreciated the honest information and the freedom to pick what was right for me. She was also very supportive and positive. It validated my journey and progress.

12/26/2019

Dr. Waldorf and all the nurses were very kind and were able to answer all my questions.There was not any pain! That alone speaks volumes.I have had multiple surgeries done by Dr. Waldorf and I am convinced she is the best in Portland.

12/26/2019

Appt went well! It was very informative and everyone was very friendly.

12/26/2019

I felt very comforted in a time that I was extremely concerned and was questioning my decision to have a face lift. Although I am still waiting for my final results and healing, and it has taken longer then I expected. I have been reassured that I am healing exactly how I am supposed to be healing. Overall I think it will ALL be worth it.

12/13/2019

Dr. Waldorf and her staff were so welcoming and attentive through the whole consultation. They answered all my questions, and I felt comfortable.

Age/Sun Spots Treatment

One thing about TWCFPS, you can expect a smiling welcome and a knowledgeable staff, including that smart doctor called...wait, I have to look up her name. Here it is: Kathy Waldorf. Also, and this is very important, everyone laughs at my very, very dry humor.

11/19/2019

Male Breast Reduction

Excellent surgical result

11/13/2019

The 3D imaging made me look much worse than I feel I looked in the mirror or as taken the same day with a camera on a phone. I'm not sure why that is...left me feeling like I needed to gain 30 pounds before I could get the procedure.

11/06/2019

Dr. Waldorf was professional and was realistic about options and didn't try to oversell procedures. Also worked around my schedule to make the surgery possible. I'm looking forward to moving forward with the surgery.

11/06/2019

Dr. Waldorf is a real artist. I'm always amazed at what she can do with injections. She's also a warm and caring person. I always enjoy seeing her.

11/06/2019

1. I trust Dr. Waldorf and her work, and have complete confidence in the results. She is truthful and respectful of her patients and I appreciate that she sees everyone as real people and not simply patients. 2. Her staff at the surgical center and in the office are also extremely respectful of the patients. 3. The experience at the surgical center the day of the surgery and all of the follow up has made this a very easy surgery all the way around. It was literally pain-free as well! The result was fantastic and getting there from the day that the surgery was scheduled to my eight week follow up appointment was easy and worry free.

11/06/2019

Very well informed. Clean, professional atmosphere. Kind, helpful and gentle staff.

11/06/2019

She was kind and knowledgeable. She did not come off as a sales person or pushed for other operations that would cost me more.

09/26/2019

I felt well cared for. From the nurses to the doctors to the anesthesiologist--everyone was kind, reassuring and confident that the results would be successful. The evening nurses were very gentle and helpful with all my ailments and need for assistance. [Single best thing is...] The results! But also through the process, all the women with whom I worked were very supportive, patient, knowledgeable, and reassuring.

09/25/2019

Consultation was not helpful in outlining how the procedure would effect looks. There was a lack of compassion for the patient's current state.

09/25/2019

Male Breast Reduction

Front desk was very pleasant and helpful when setting up the appointment. Dr. Waldorf is very clear and concise and communicated the procedures, recovery and post op time frames extremely well and she's very nice to speak with. I trust them to do an excellent job for me as they have in the past.

09/25/2019

Dr. Waldorf was extremely personable and made me feel 100% supported in my decision. She didn’t make me feel pressured to go through with the surgery after my consultation and provided lots of information that allowed me to make my own informed decision. I would highly recommend her!!

09/13/2019

Dr. Waldorf and her staff are very kind and caring. Dr. Waldorf is sincerely interested in achieving the outcome that I want. She listens and explains what she can and cannot do with clarity so that I can make an educated decision. She truly cares.

09/09/2019

I trust Dr. Waldorf’s expertise and surgical opinions wholeheartedly. She is thorough, easy to talk to, and answered all questions I had. I plan on scheduling my second procedure with her soon.

08/28/2019

The whole experience was smooth sailing! Dr. Waldorf did an amazing job! Highly recommend getting your eyes done!!!! She’s the Best!

08/15/2019

My results were amazing and all the way through and the staff was very professional educated, plus I felt connected with them. Great team! Doctor did an amazing job and I get compliments :) [Single best thing is...] The shape/size of my nipples and overall look is much sexier than what I had. I wasn't expecting for them to look THAT much better :)

07/31/2019

Dr. Waldorf is a board certified, highly educated and highly qualified plastic surgeon. I chose her and trusted her because of her certification, experience and bedside manner. My surgery went perfectly, my post op period left me feeling very supported, and my results remind me why I chose her as my surgeon. I would highly recommend her to anyone who asks. I couldn’t speak more highly of my surgical experience with Dr Waldorf. The surgery itself was fast, I may have underestimated the recovery process but Dr. Waldorf has been there to answer any and all questions! She and her team have continued to support me throughout the process. I’m pleased with my results!

07/31/2019

J-Plasma® Skin Resurfacing

It was so great to see women that were not young plastic looking receptionists. Everyone there, that I had contact with was patient and caring. Dr Waldorf took time to answer my questions and put up with my sense of humor! Great Experience!

05/27/2019

I believe it will be amazing. Just still swollen, red and one eye not opening all the way due to Botox.

05/23/2019

I thought the process from start to finish was very professional and I got the results I wanted. The doctor was very caring and didn’t over promise what she could do. [Single best thing is...] The caring staff that made the process pretty painless with terrific results.

Everyone makes you feel comfortable during the visit.

Tummy Tuck Revision

First off I really appreciated Dr. Waldorf's immediate willingness to address my concerns regarding my recent tummy tuck. As always, everyone I interacted with was very attentive and willing to assist me in any way possible. I could not be happier with my entire experience involving the Waldorf Clinic. Thanks!

05/08/2019

Kathleen Waldorf is very knowledgeable and caring. Any questions I had she ensured to answer fully and to the point. The nurses and other included staff were devoted to my health and well being pre, day of and post operation. Kathleen Waldorf always has outstanding results from her work on me that leaves me speechless every time.

05/08/2019

Dr. Waldorf is amazing, has high professional work ethics and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

05/07/2019

Dr. Waldorf is excellent at what she does. Whenever l see her l am always confident that she will do what's right.

04/24/2019

Care was wonderful all the way through and I was always taken care of when I had questions or concerns

04/24/2019

Chin Surgery

Professional, comfortable and pain free procedure. Dr. W and the anesthesiologist were very supportive and professional. Great 'bedside' manner with both of them! Reduced all excess skin from under the jaw. Previously did a 'Lipo' procedure that was only partially successful. A chin reduction procedure then provided an excellent result.

04/24/2019

I found Dr. Waldorf to be knowledgeable, accessible and highly professional. She and her staff are talented at what they do and worked hard to answer my initial questions and those while healing. My results are exactly as I thought they would be and the team did a great job articulating realistic outcomes. I was really happy they have you stay overnight. I found that very comforting and it put a lot less pressure on my in-home support.

04/23/2019

Office staff was very friendly & efficient. Dr. Waldorf seems very kind and compassionate.

04/19/2019

The doctor was professional and straightforward. I didn’t feel like she was trying to “sell” me but just providing me with information I need to make a decision.

04/17/2019

I was so nervous going in to be judged for my breast size and shape. The staff was amazing in making me feel comfortable and the doctor answered my questions and explained what she thought would be best for the look I want.

04/17/2019

Dr. Waldorff did a great job. I healed quickly and look so much better than I looked prior to surgery. I am quite happy with the results. I received good after care. I highly recommend Dr. Waldorff.

04/16/2019

Dr. Waldorf is very patient and answered all of my questions. The staff were all very nice as well. The office is beautiful and very welcoming.

04/16/2019

Gave pre-op instructions. Gave post-op expectations. Listened to my questions and answered them.

04/16/2019

Excellent Physician, nurses and staff. Amazing! So far, no pain!

04/16/2019

Dr. Waldorf was very condescending, not personable and 4 different times basically said I was fat. Yes I am aware I do not need you to keep telling me. She referred me to a weight loss clinic that she is friends with and they have yet to return my call. Once I lose my 20 pounds I probably will not go with her as she made me feel horrible. The rest of the staff is incredible, clean environment!

04/16/2019

Excellent experience with Dr. Waldorf for many years! Skilled, helpful and professional staff - I get excellent and responsive care, great advice regarding products, etc. I can easily get appointments at times that are convenient for me.

04/03/2019

Dr. Waldorf answered all of my questions and let me come back to answer more questions on a second consultation free of charge. From the consultation to the surgery and appointments after the surgery, I have nothing but great things to say about my experience. Dr. Waldorf and her staff are the BEST. I cannot imagine trusting anyone else with plastic surgery. I am so thankful every single second for the new life she has given me. This procedure has changed the way I feel about myself and has given me confidence about my body.

03/26/2019

Great results.

03/25/2019

Very knowledgeable staff and kind they stayed late due to me being stuck in traffic. Overall great place.

03/12/2019

I am very pleased with the results of the procedure and the care provided by Dr. Waldorf and the support after.

03/04/2019

I was absolutely satisfied. We also discussed upcoming procedures and reviewed patient photos.

03/02/2019

Excellent service. Very organized clinic and personalized service. Did not feel pressured to make any decisions. Everyrthing was explained very clearly from clinical procedure to financial info.

03/01/2019

Kathleen was professional, sweet, and honest.

02/07/2019

I thought the doctor was excellent and put me at great ease in understanding what could and could not be done. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and would definitely recommend

02/06/2019

Excellent, everything clear and not stressful.

02/06/2019

Thigh Lift

I had a great overall experience. Surgery areas are healing nicely.

02/06/2019

Dr. Waldorf expertly analyzed my situation.

02/06/2019

Juvéderm® XC

The doctor is very professional and knowledgeable.

02/06/2019

I've had two prior procedures with Dr. Waldorf. Both turned out beautifully. I trust her to be conservative & realistic in advising me. Also, her reputation was great fifteen years ago, when I first became her patient and has become even better since then.

01/17/2019

Oh wow, so many good things. I can just get dressed and feel confident, no more hiding the ugly hanging stomach. I can workout unhindered. I no longer get chafing when I workout. . I love this practice. After much research I chose Waldorf Center for my procedures and plan to go back for more. All of the staff is friendly, welcoming, caring and efficient.

01/16/2019

My first reason why I chose to come here for my surgery was the doctor having many years of experience. The staff and office was very welcoming and professional.

01/16/2019

I've been coming here for years. I previously had blepharoplasty by Dr. Waldorf and had an excellent experience. Therefore even though I've moved from the Portland, Oregon area to central Oregon (and it's a 3-hour drive), I decided to go with her again for a face lift and lateral temporalplasty. I've gone here also for Botox, Juvaderm filler, etc. Great office - love the staff and Dr. Waldorf! The experience is consistently good i.e. every time you go, the staff is professional and friendly - I haven't had any issues with bad visits.

01/16/2019

Overall excellent experience with the entire office and clinical team. Looking forward to my surgery in February!

01/15/2019

Competent & friendly staff...responsive to my needs It was just enough without being too much

01/04/2019

The surgery experience was smooth, and the outcome is exactly as I had hoped. I was impressed with Dr. Waldorf from the moment I met her. Her experience and knowledge was apparent from the first interaction, and I had a high level of confidence in her skill going into the surgery. My recovery and healing process has been relatively easy, and it is exciting to watch as the final results take shape. I am more comfortable in my own skin. This is how I remember my body looking prior to having children.

12/29/2018

The quality of care, attention to detail and knowledgeable staff provided a wonderful experience.

11/21/2018

Cleft Lip And Palate Repair

I felt understood and seen and had all of my questions answered.

11/21/2018

Dr Waldorf was confident and comfortable which made me feel the same. She shared relatedness with me which made me feel cared for and connected

11/19/2018

Everyone at the Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery was exceptionally personable, kind and very professional. I like that all appointment reminders were texted. Dr. Waldorf has excellent patient care skills as well as being forthcoming about what to expect during surgery and recovery. She did not push the surgery - rather carefully explained the process. Her staff were friendly, and her office environment is lovely.

11/16/2018

Being my first surgical experience, it certainly put to rest a few of my fears of 'going under the knife'. I am greatful for the [mostly] friendly, warm, and welcoming staff. I am also greatful for anesthesia :] The healing process was longer and a bit more intense than I was led to believe, but overall, I am very pleased and would recommend to family. [Single best thing is...] I love the way I feel when i look at nyself in the mirror now. Not only the way I look, but the way I feel about it. Thank you

11/16/2018

Male Breast Reduction

From Dr. Waldorf to all of her staff and that of the Surgical center, everyone was sincerely concerned and interested in my recovery and long-term results.I still have one matter that I feel needs to be addressed that I plan to bring to Dr. Waldorf and her staff's attention which I am sure they will proactively address.

11/15/2018

Wonderful results and all of the care that I have received, including post-op appointments, has been exemplary.

11/15/2018

I feel more confident! Feeling good about yourself makes life a happier place! . Doctor Waldorf is so confident and professional yet so kind and understanding! I felt like I was her focus and wasn’t being judged! She treated me like her only concern at the time and took the time to get to know me. Thanks doc!

10/15/2018

The office Setting was very welcoming. The staff was great and very informative. The receptionist wasn’t very friendly that I dealt with. Meeting with the surgeon was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable and informed of what I want.

10/15/2018

I am a return patient.

10/08/2018

The hands on care and follow up of the staff. Partially from being well informed/advised as to what to expect, along with what seems to be a [rapid] and [discreet] healing process.

10/05/2018

Other

Interaction with Dr. and staff was very good, at each appointment. I felt Dr Waldorf was informative and realistic. Her staff was very responsive and helpful following the procedure. I'm not completely healed from the procedure, (J-Plasma resurfacing of the face,) but I'm pleased with the results so far. They are what I had expected at this point in the healing process.

10/05/2018

It looks very natural. Dr.Waldorf is always sensitive to my needs

09/29/2018

Surgeon took time necessary to answer questions. I liked her immediately and would feel very comfortable having the procedure done at your surgery center

09/26/2018

The Waldorf Center's professionalism. From Dr. Waldorf to all of staff members including the Wilshire surgery center were very caring and concerned with my well being.Whomever was always available whether it be returning a simple phone call and/or needing assistance with one of my body drains.In my life time I've unfortunately had nearly a dozen surgeries and without a doubt, the Waldorf Center was the most patient friendly, accomodating and genuienly interested in my health and recovery.

09/15/2018

It was all easier than I expected.I am very happy I contacted this practice, as I felt comfortable proceeding, and now I am happy with the result.

09/14/2018

I felt completely listened to and cared for during my entire experience. Dr. Waldorf was an excellent, caring surgeon, and her staff is friendly, professional and helpful. Little to no pain. I never used a single pain pill. Of course, I am also thrilled with the result.

09/14/2018

My upper and lower blepharoplasty has really changed my life! I used to try to cover up my eye bags with anything and everything. Spending hundreds of dollars on products to try to make them better, which never worked. My eyes made me feel very self conscious and look tired all the time. I feel more confident now! Dr. Waldorf and her entire staff is very friendly and professional. I was treated very well, very well informed and they were very responsive even when I sent over an email. I could tell that Dr. Waldorf really cares about her patience and takes great pride in her work. I am very happy with my results and everyone I come across and knows about my procedure is extremely impressed with Dr. Waldorf's work.Signed,Happy Patient!

09/13/2018

It was an embarrassing surgery and I was very comfortable and it changed my life for the better , in multiple ways, I was always made to feel good and appropriate and at ease. I wish I was able to do this a long time ago.

08/13/2018

Professional, considerate, skilled

08/12/2018

Professional and friendly staff, nice office and employees that knew their stuff!

08/12/2018

08/11/2018

Super friendly, educated, surgeon made me feel safe and didn’t rush through consultation, feel like I’m in good hands!

08/11/2018

Kathleen Wardorf is great, she is calm, professional, trustworthy, incredibly knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable with her. Her staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly , the male nurse I had was amazing when I was feeling very nervous. Everyone put me at ease. Loved the experience and will return if I ever needed anything again! Thanks!

08/09/2018

The doctor dismissed my concern with my nose and did not show me the program to see what it could look like. Instead she recommended I get my eyes done and I wasn’t concerned about them. She was detached, not warm, not supportive, didn’t ask many questions and I just didn’t connect with her and I connect easily with most people.

08/09/2018

Dr. Waldorf is amazing. Bed side manner, outstanding. Doesn't over sell. Gives good recommendations and advice. Excellent results.

08/07/2018

Ultherapy

I wasn't entirely prepared on how painful Ultherapy would be-everyone did their best to make me comfortable, and the nitrous oxide certainly helped, but I got a couple of different answers when I originally asked about pain level---it would have been ok with me if someone had said, "It hurts like hell, we will do what we can" or similar.

08/07/2018
