SHC Patient, Jul 2017
I had made it clear BEFORE the appointment and to the assistant on day of appt. that this was my first consult of any kind on Lipedema. had not been evaluated. Provider told me only case looked typical & I was a good candidate for surgery. Did not stage disease until asked. Provided no alternatives to surgery, gave me no percentages re: risks.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
All good.

Would recommend her for conditions other than the one I came with (facial surgery/eyes).
SHC Patient, Oct 2014
Some details of surgery given by provider the day before came as complete surprise. Very little information to surgery after care was given prior to surgery. Felt ill prepared for supplies to have on had, or surgery, after effects. Had to ask for prescriptions for arm garments. Felt very unprepared & not supported afterwards.
