Reconstructive Surgery:
Reconstructive surgery is performed to treat areas of the body affected aesthetically or functionally by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease.
Surgical area looks good
Everything was explained to me, plus I was asked If I was comfortable. Discharge instructions were thorough and follow up was also.
The provider's concern for keeping the patient informed.
Examined back wound pain drainage in lower left part of back.
Most surgeons can sew, but Dr. Mehan is a tailor.
Dr. Johnson and his team were professional and caring.
Healed well and have had a good outcome.
Doctor and Day Surgical Team at Melrose Wakefield Hospital were very kind and efficient. They made sure I was very comfortable and the surgery went just as Dr. Hall said it would. The follow-up from the Hospital and Dr. Hall's Office Staff was very caring and answered all my questions. When the procedure was over, the recovery was quick and I was on my way home. The skin grafts are healing nicely and it is a relief to have the constructive surgery by Dr. Hall done after having Mohs Surgery the day before.
[Highly satisfied with] surgical expertise.
I thought Doctor Mehan was exceptionally good at how he treated and repaired my problems.
Surgery was conducted with no issues and done as out patient.
Dr. Mehan and his staff always ensured confidence that they are concerned about the patient and have a goal to heal injuries no matter how severe while maintaining a friendly rapport with the patient and his family. Everyone involved was professional and well trained, but also friendly.
So far, I've only had the double mastectomy/ expander surgery, and I was highly satisfied. Dr. Albino and Dr. Magnant work well together, and they did an amazing job so far. Looking forward to the final DIEP flap reconstruction later after summer.
[Highly satisfied because of] Everything. Dr Meehan is awesome. [Single best thing is...] The finished product, no nose, now I have a nose!
The doctors checked on me and my incision a few times in the hospital. It has healed well and looks much better than my past incisions. [Single best thing is...] I cannot see or feel the wires beneath the flap they created. At the collarbone the scar is barely visible.
I found Dr. Albino and his team to be very supportive and knowledgeable. The single best thing was to feel satisfied with the reconstruction results.
Toe amputation went smoothly and little to no pain. Dr. Johnson did not jump to a decision to amputate all toes but instead wanted to see how the foot would heal seeing as the foot seemed to be getting more blood flow.
[Single best thing is...] getting the ability back to walk on my right foot because the broken ankle was healed with many surgeries. Left is an indent on the inner right ankle. A drainage wound happened for about a month and is being treated with an antibiotic dexycyline. And I am wearing compression stockings which help the drainage a lot.
Very successful surgery. Saved lower left leg.
He saved my leg.
