Lee Edstrom, MD (retired)

I had skin cancer on my face. Dr Edstrom did a fabulous job cleaning up a mess. I think his bedside manner is excellent. I have 120 stitches on my face and you cannot tell. He is a great doctor. Very professional every time I went into his office. His staff is great as well.

Had an MACS facelift with Dr. Edstrom. Due to his inexperience in this type of facelift and negligence, I can no longer have another face or neck lift performed again. Dr Edstrom hid the fact that severe damage to the under layers and structure of my skin during the procedure. He was negligent because he was out of town and left his residents to remove my sutures several days after surgery. His residents did not realize I had suffered severe damage and never contacted Dr. Edstrom. Dr. Edstrom should have had another qualified plastic surgeon available while he was out of town and not rely on his medical trainees. I asked Dr Edstrom to have a qualified physician to check me out while he was away, but he told me not to worry. I went to Dr. Sullivan last month and showed him the photos after my MACS facelift performed by Dr Edstrom and Dr Sullivan said he had never seen so much damage in his 20+ years of practice and that it would be "too dangerous" to have another face or neck lift.

This was my first facelift and last because of severe damage done to the under layers of skin and skin structure. Still have suspension sutures in my face.

I would never ever recommend Dr. Edstrom to anyone! He told me he could do my surgery a specific way that I wanted, then I awoke from surgery and he informed me he couldn't do it. I know 3 people who went to him all with the exact same results....their nipples are oval and place so high that they fall out of every bra. His office staff was rude. He didn't want to give more pain meds after initial script. He insisted my nipples would become round and symmetrical over time, its been 7 years since I had the surgery and still the same terrible results. I would never recommend him ever!!! Go anywhere else if you are thinking of getting a breast reduction.

This doctor did surgey in my face and did such a rushed and horrible job I developed massive infections. I've had multiple surgeries to try to fix what he did but the damage was so extensive my face will never be the same again. Do not go to this doctor unless you want your life ruined. I regret the day I stepped Into his office.
