Reconstructive Surgery

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.

Clear concise information.

Confident in the surgical group that's experienced, very professional way of handling the procedure.

I met Dr. Mehan as a trauma surgeon after I had reconstructive surgery of the socket of my hip. I had a massive incisional infection shortly after socket surgery. He and others no doubt saved my life.

He did an exceptional job controlling the infection and finally being able to close it back up again. This took 2-1/2 weeks in the hospital.

Very little scaring or pain. [Single best thing is...] The out come and grate bedside manner.

Hand function is back to nearly normal

The need for and details of the surgery were well explained beforehand. Both the muscle flap and the subsequent skin graft seem to have gone smoothly and are doing their job. Both Dr. Mehan and his staff were always very forthcoming and responsive about what was happening, prognosis, and happy to answer any questions.

Very good consultations pre and post surgery as well as excellent results from the surgery.

Quick, efficient, professional.

I kept the finger!

Because Dr. Johnson and his staff were caring and kind. They were knowledgeable about my procedures. They were very polite and thoughtful.
