Consultation review: thoughtful and well-spoken doctor

I had a consult with Dr. Cat Begovic for abdominal lipo revision. I had made the mistake of going to a PA run chop shop in San DIego and ended up developing 3 cannula shaped dents in my lower abdominal wall, each about 2 cm. When I say cannula shaped I mean you could literally see the path of the cannula from how over-aggressive the PA was.

In any case, Dr. Cat was excellent. She struck me as thoughtful, extremely well spoken and to the point. Though I didn't end up going with her for the surgery, she gave me a more clear understanding of her approach to repair than any other surgeon I spoke with, and I had already talked to quite a few.

Just also a message to any prospective patients about the very few negative reviews One thing that stood out to me most was her blunt honesty. Like a lot of surgeons out there will sugar coat or misrepresent a situation to try to get your business, it was clear she also comes across as very focused on with clear patient expectations too. Sometimes that means a person may not hear what they want to hear at the moment, but it's better in the long run. I think Dr. Cat is just extremely honest.

The consult fee might be off putting if you've been consulting with less top tier surgeons, but she's amongst the best in her field so you're gonna have to pay for it. It's the standard these days for being best in class.
