After breast cancer, double mastectomy and DIEP surgery elsewhere (and surgeons Were very good!) —I moved and insurance changed. Dr. Wise completed additional surgery I needed wonderfully. Dr. Wise is very competent and kind and I completely trusted him, as well as caring nurses and staff. Grateful to have the comfortable “breasts” made of my own tissue, so that I can feel “at home” in my body after cancer.

I had surgery in 2018 with Dr. Trahan. I can't warn you enough not to have surgery with this man. I find him confusing, a slick salesman, and an avoider. You can find other patients with similar accounts online. I arranged my whole life around the surgery, and he wanted to cancel the day before because he "works on vibe" and had an instinct. One side didn't get enough blood. This happens a lot with him and other doctors. I believe it happened in the hospital when they kept forcing me into this painful small garment. I also think he knew because I've seen notes from the hospital indicating it. He then proceeded to tell me everything was fine and safe, based on ultrasounds and photos, for months, gaslighting me. Another doctor (and then 2 more) diagnosed on SIGHT that it would need to be removed. Trahan then avoided calling me back for a month and then dropped me as a patient. I've heard the same from about 10 other patients now - that the hospital ditched them things went wrong. Patients who spend their entire life savings. They also destroy or don't complete medical records, because mine included literally nothing and had left and right mixed up. I have lived with terrible pain since because removing it leaves me with nothing. I wrote a blog about my experience, and the doctor threatened to sue me. Lol. Over an accurate blog about a terrible doctor. They are extremely vigilant about trying to remove negative removes. They removed my yelp review several times. That should say a lot. Other women don't share their negative reviews, because the patient community is like a cult, but we all talk. You can get the same surgery a lot of other places. They will try to convince you otherwise, but I promise. You can still find my blog. I dare them to sue me. It's 100% accurate. Trahan is the very worst.

I have been praying for this procedure to be done after my fight with breast cancer. Finally God has answered my prayers. I'm looking forward to getting my procedure done in August 2020 Anita Washington-Rice

Messed up my daughters breasts (twice) Dr Trahan, he's a horrible surgeon, and we aren't the only ones to work you, the reader. And then they later ruined her credit. Even though it was paid for by insurance. And they never cared about her or what they did, only money. Horrible, horrible place. AVOID!!!

Incredibly healing experience. They took good care of my medical needs while giving my a great cosmetic outcome. I'm so thankful for their efforts to squeeze me in as an active cancer patient and the way they started from the beginning when we met, leaving all options open and it to me until the day before surgery. Beautiful clean facility. More like a spa with all the medical needs. So much nicer than a high stress traditional hospital with rushed doctors/staff, alarms, illnesses and smelling like urine.

The Center is pretty aggressive about removing negative reviews, so I will try again, once more. Their attorneys recently sent me a cease and desist (lol)...
