- 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.

First peak at the girls
I mentioned that he left before I woke up, so did his staff nurses and assistant. The hospital where I had the surgery is not his regular hospital. I suspect that he booked the OR here because I was having abdominal lipo at the same time for which I'm paying out of pocket and so he wanted to circumvent the provincial surgery wait time because the lipo part is paid privately. That's how I got the date so fast whereas if it were just the BR, the wait would've been 9-12 months.
Anyway, he never came back to check on me. I thought at least he or one if his own staff will come talk to me before my release. Fat chance! I got released from the hospital with a general "after surgery pamphlet" given to me by the ward nurse who didn't know about my specific procedure and even the doctor. This being the weekend, the office is closed and the pamphlet says to go to Emergency if any problems. That's plain CRUEL. Not that I'm expecting any problems, but just in case. Anyway, I won't be able to shower before the drains are removed and that'll be when I go in for post op appt which I don't have yet because I have to wait until Monday to get to talk to anyone at the office. Yikes, this surgeon's poor bedside manner is only surpassed by his poor after care!
Ok, I feel better now, thanks for listening. Here are some early pix.
On the other side
They didn't t put in the surgical bra or any type of bandage, just dressing on incisions. I don't know if that's the norm? My doctor had already left, I didn't get to talk to him myself.
Just from the look if things, I may end up with a B cup :-)
Just a quick update:
I also took one last measurement prior to my surgery, for comparison purposes:
Weight: 133 lbs
Bra band: 32
Bust: 39.5"
Waist: 34.5" (yikes, Double yikes! Hence the upcoming lipo)
Stern. to right nipple 27 cm, to left nipple 26 cm
Nipple to nipple: 25.5 cm
Enjoy the 4th and see you all on the other side.
Provider Review
I waited for 2 months after my surgery to write this review, because I didn't want to rate the doctor based on my initial gut feeling, but to allow ample time to evaluate his performance. I don't want to sound like a bitter bitch but honestly, no matter how hard I try, I can't find one positive thing to say about this doctor. He is severely arrogant and full of himself, dismissive of all patient's concerns, does not take the time to ask what you want and seriously impatient if you try to tell him what you want. Add to that the fact that he didn't make himself or any of his staff available for after-care. My surgery was on a Friday. He left the hospital before I woke up. A one-page generic instruction sheet was the only thing he left for me. There was no emergency phone numbers left. I read on this site that a lot of doctors or at least their staff nurse call the patient the day after to check up on her. All I got was "instruction" to go to ER in case of an emergency! At my post-op, I raised a concern about asymmetry of my breasts and a dog-ear under the left one. All he had to say was "that's not important". Obviously, it is to me, but he totally dismissed it and even refused to talk about a solution. A word of advice to my BR sisters in Vancouver: If you get a referral to this guy, please ask for another one and good luck!
