I had a breast lift performed with this doctor in Nov 2009. Communication with this Doctor was often vague, and I felt she did not gain a real understanding of what I was trying to achieve from the surgery. After the surgery, my stitches were taken out before I healed completely, which resulted in poor wound healing and an unsightly appearance to my breasts, worse then before the surgery. Dr. W performed a 2nd suregry at no charge to correct the 1st surgery. Although slightly improved, the result of the 2nd surgery is still unsymmetrical and did not meet my expectations. I am now consulting with additional doctors and paying all of these consultation fees to look into having her work corrected so I can be happier with the end result. One of the main reasons I chose Dr. Walden was because all of her reviews on Citysearch were excellent. I come to find out that her office removes any negative reviews, and I believe has added fictitous positive reviews. I find this to be so un-ethical and uncomprehensible that a Doctor can act in such a manner and still call herself a doctor. This whole experience is a major regret, Dr. Wadlen lacked integrity and I hope oneday I can have her work corrected by a skilled Doctor.
I would happily post pictures but Dr. Walden's office did not supply me digital pictures (perhaps for good cause)
I'm aware there are risks with any surgery but trust me...
After the first surgery by this doctor I looked mutilated! I think of it as looking like Mrs. Franskenstein. I dident look in the mirror for 6 months because the first time I looked in the mirror after the innitial surgery, I was horrored at what I saw. Everything I wrote in the above review, is the truth. Its up to you to believe it or not
Also, I want to add that after the first surgery with this doctor, I really looked mutilated. It looked as if a medical student was practicing on me. My left nipple was lower after the surgery then before I ever had surgery.
To respond to the last post, I did follow post surgery instructions. The actual surgery iteself was performed poorly, which left me witha poor result. I did not get breast implants, so I can comment on Dr. Walden's skill in breast augmentation. However, my advice is to anyone considering cosmetic surgery, is to take their time when choosing a surgeon and not base their decision on internet reviews alone. Choosing a surgeon is a life changing decision, and if something goes wrong, it is a horrible experience to go through. I can say this because I have experienced it.
TYPO in last post...I meant to say I did not get a breast augmentation from Dr. Walden so I can not comment on her skill in this area, however, I was a patient of hers and did undergo 2 consecutive breast lifts, so I familiar with her bedside manner, over skill, and level of professionalism.
Also, PLEASE anyone reading these posts...be weary about trusting internet reviews. One of the main reasons, I chose Dr. Walden was because all of her online reviews were excellent and I did not find one bad review. I come to find out that her office monitors reviews that are posted, has possibly added fictitious positive reviews and removed negative reviews. I think Dr Walden and her staff have forgotten she is actually running a medical practice and thinks it is a college sorority where it is ok to bend the truth and falsify reviews so the public does not have a 100% truthful view of her. In conculsion. I had 2 breast lifts with this doctor, the first was a nightmare and the second is mediocore. I would be hesitant about choosing her for any breast related procedure, or for that matter, any procedure, based upon her lack of honesty, skill and personalization in her practices. Almost everyday I am reminded of the poor result of this surgery, it is something I wish I could change, and maybe oneday I will.
the only way this complaint can be validated is with before and after pictures.
Dr Walden is a Wonderful Knowledgeable Doctor.
She performed my Breast Augmentation in 2008
and they turned out perfectly symmetrical :)
I love the way my chest looks :):)
My healing time turned out with minimal
pain and scars are barely visible :)
It's unfortunate to hear that you had such
an unpleasant experience but maybe it was
due to misunderstanding from you. Post
surgery instructions are very important to
follow to avoid unfavorable outcomes.
I also had a breast dis-figuration from
Dr. Walden, I couldn't bring myself to trust her for a revision. She has now moved to her hometown in Austin TX, I guess she'll continue her mutilation there. She was pleasant during the consult and even seemed as if she knew her work, boy was I wrong. She put me through mental anguish and physical pain. Bottom line Texans be very careful trusting her around your breast.
I also got mutilated by Dr. Walden. She should be stripped off her license . I believe she's moved to her hometown due to several lawsuits in NYC. She's a heartless human being. She caused me to loose all trust in plastic surgery.
