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.
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.
My 12 year old son was having a second surgery on his leg and Dr. Mehan was recommended for the scar mitigation. My son was anxious about the procedure and had a lot of questions about it. Dr. Mehan was so patient and kind with my son, who asked a lot of specific questions. Dr. Mehan was respectful and explained everything to him in a way that really put his concerns at ease. After our initial consultation we had questions about a bill, and the billing staff and office manager were so patient with me in explaining their process and understanding my concerns. The morning of the procedure Dr. Mehan was kind and reassuring. And Post Op he explained how everything went with clear details about follow up and wound care. And finally on our check-up appointment we were a little concerned about how things were healing. Dr. Mehan checked the wound and was sensitive to my sons wish of not touching it too much. The entire office staff was kind and efficient, and we were given clear instructions of how to deal with upcoming sports and scar treatment.
The staff is friendly and respectful. Dr. Albino exhibits an outstanding balance between his skill and his "bedside manner." Other like professionals speak very highly of him.
I felt like the doctor and his staff were very genuine and their concern for me and always responded quickly to any concerns I had. That's just part of the reason.
