Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Incompetent with post operative care
These are 3 pictures that I sent into the Mayo Clinic portal after a breast reduction by James Waldorf.
One picture was sent with a message about being warm red and swollen. In less than one week -I sent another picture describing weeping yellow discharge. The reply I received by the trio of Waldorf/Phan/Alexandria is that this did “not necessitate a culture”. And my request for an ID referral was ignored. This is well documented in the Mayo portal.
I sought care outside of Mayo after being left with a 5cm deep necrotic infection of pseudomonas, Klebsiella, etc. The last picture attached is from my wound care team just prior to the first surgical debridement.
Since the May 17 2022 reduction surgery and subsequent necrotic infection - I began wound care on June 18th. Multiple debridements, wound vac therapy, skin grafts and 5 plus weeks of HBOT have changed the 5cm deep, tennis ball size crater in my left breast into a 1.2 cm hole that is still trying to heal.
I can’t begin to understand the Mayo medical culture that has left me with an outcome still unknown but most definitely with significant deformity.
The Mayo plastic surgery department is not educated in the importance of post operative care and how delaying the appropriate treatment of eschar and other signs of infection can have devastating results.
It’s too bad for me that Waldorf/Phan/Alexandria did not know or chose to ignore. But maybe less patients will have an experience like mine in the future.

necrotic infection ignored
James Waldorf and his PA Lee Phan mutilated me during a breast reduction surgery and left me with a 5cm deep necrotic infection the size of a tennis ball in my left breast. The poor treatment I received by James Waldorf and Lee Phan has had me dealing with multiple hospital acquired infections, surgical debridements and additional wound care for 10 weeks and counting. I will be permanently deformed but am truly lucky to have escaped their care with my life. Don’t fall prey into trusting Mayo Clinic because of what the general perception is. I will regret ever trusting them for the rest of my life.
