Developed open wounds afterwards - he missed a major abscess and infection

I had a breast reduction 4/7/21 with Dr. Orgill at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. My experience was horrible. I developed open wounds afterwards and Dr. Orgill or anyone else was only available 2 days/week to be able to see me. Even on those days, he could be booked and unable to see you.

I ended up having to go to the ER 3 times because he was unavailable. Finally, I saw him at 4 weeks post op. I had a massive infected abscess in one breast. He told me everything looked fine and he did not think there was an infection. I had it cultured in the ER and it was a staph infection! The ER put me on antibiotics.

He did not believe me and told me that I was hyperfocused on my wounds and just needed to forget about it and exercise. I was in excruciating pain from the abscess and he did not believe I was in that much pain. Six days later, my abscess burst through my incision and drained about 16 ounces from my breast.

He was unable to see me that day. I ended up in the ER to manage the infection and additional open wound. I am now seeing another plastic surgeon at a wound care center to manage my healing. I found Dr. Orgill to be heartless and dismissive. Not to mention, he missed a major abscess and infection.
