David S. Martin, MD: Middle Tennessee Plastic Surgery

I absolutely love Dr Martin and his staff! They are all very friendly and have great bedside manners. I am very pleased with my surgery and progress as well. I highly recommend!

I did not have a good result from my reduction or liposuction. I threw my money away and now have huge, raised, ugly scars. My intimacy days are over.

I had an bottom eye lid lift to get rid of the bags under my eyes just a year ago. I gave it a full year for them to completely heal. I spent $3000 for the procedure and I am not pleased at all!!! I still look tired and sleepy. My eyes firmed wrinkles and they still look bruised, I have two black eyes!!!! Still having to cover them with make up!!! For what a paid for just a hour long procedure I am not pleased at all. When I went in for the check ups it was more like he was calling me in to act like he did a great job.....NOT. If anybody is thinking of getting this procedure done PLEASE do your homework. It doesn't mean that just because their licensed that they can do a good job. I'm not pleased at all.

I had a very bad experience! Only gave you a star because it wouldn't let me post if I didn't!!! This is not my name in your records. You or your student did a hatchet job on my breast reduction! I look like a shark bit me! The scars are extremely awful! You made me smaller than I asked for. The area around my nipples is huge and misshapen. I have skin hanging under my arms that was not stitched taut. I have a golf size knot on each breast. They are sagging which I was told wouldn't happen for ten yrs. The tape was embedded in my skin that it took me three weeks to get it off. I was badly infected. Three months after surgery I still had scabs that wouldn't fall off. When I came for my follow you didn't even look under the bandages. You did nothing you said was going to be done in the consult. I was so mad and disgusted that I didn't come back for 2nd follow up. Neither you or anyone in your office bothered to call and check on me... I wouldn't let you touch me again if my life depended on it!!! Should have known when you told me you were an army surgeon not to do it! You have ruined my self esteem and will never get naked in front of my husband or any other man... I'm horrified to look in the mirror!!! Just glad I didn't pay you out if my own pocket!!!

I would have given anything in the world if I done my research first. As a graduate student, research is key to anything! But I trusted my PCP in his recommendations. I'm using another persons Google account to post this because I'm seriously thinking about filing a medical negligence case against this office. When you have your first consult, they sell you on the idea that you will look fabulous. It's been my dream for years to have a normal size breast. He told me right away to go shopping for bras. To be able to wear a beautiful bra has been my dream since I was 19 years old. The lacy bras or any bra besides a granny Playtex bra! LOL! Not only did the office and the doctor dismiss my plea for mercy, they chose to repeatedly not listen to me when I said I had a post surgical infection. The first 3 weeks after the surgery, I called numerous times. I knew, from knowledge and experience, something wasn't right. 4 weeks later, after suffering antagonizing pain and neglect, a God send, a nurse practitioner listened to me. She knew, from years of actually studying, that I indeed had an infection from the surgery. I was given 2 shots of antibiotics and then 8x a day @ 7 days. Finally some relief!!! I didn't have to scream and cry anymore like a deranged lunatic. For a long 28 days though I suffered tremendously and it all could have been prevented had someone actually listened to me, instead of dismissing me. That's just unethical and unprofessional. I still have to find a surgeon to have the abscess from my breast removed, then find a new surgeon who can try to at least make my breasts look like breasts. They look like deflated pancakes. I can not even wear a normal bra. Why? The top is completely flat, no cleavage and the sides hang over. Thank God for sports bras with pads because that's the only type bra I'll ever be able to wear :( The cup of the bra is almost completely empty, no matter if it's an A cup or C cup. I have no breast at the top and some at the bottom. They dont shake or jiggle. It is just very deformed looking. They look almost like a mans chest with a little extra at the bottom of the breast. I was so excited to have the surgery. It was like my dreams were finally coming true. I had a rather large breast size before. Most of my friends ask me if i regret it. I've been teased and called names since the surgery but i try to make it look like I have boob with called a Genie bra. I try to block it out of my head psychologically, but hopefully this review will help and maybe next time, they'll listen to their patients. Always be wary of the so called "know it all" attitude in the medical field. I had never been treated so horrible as I was here..another thing, before the surgery they were awesome! Really sweet and had me pumped up..i just don't see why they changed afterwards. I was in horrible, excruciating pain that I should have never experienced. All I tried explaining to then was that I had an infection and they didn't want to own up to it. The doctor dismissed me by saying I was going thru pain meds withdrawals. I was not. I had my pain medicine and the reason why it wasn't working was because of the infection from the surgery!!!! All I was asking for was antibiotics...that was it. I wish I had never ever chose not to research various surgeons had I known this was going to happen. I just thought I would look normal and finally get to wear shirts and bras that I couldn't wear before. I am suffering from depression now and have even more of a self image complex. Thanks alot!
