Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery

Front desk staff is very difficult to deal with. Not accomodating. Very long delays. I would recommend getting a referral for a different clinic.

The first time I came for my appointment, I was having a terrible pain on one of my lower molars in addition to a few other problems. Let's just say that Dr. Burgess took care of everything that needed some work. The staff are friendly and professional. I'm glad that I found a good practice and will recommend them to family and friends.

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Whidden, his medical and administrative teams and his new Calgary hospital. Together, they make this relatively unpleasant experience as pleasant as could be. From the front reception, anesthesiologist, nurses that take care of you before and after surgery and at follow-up appts and Dr. Whidden himself, everyone is so professional & knowledgeable, yet compassionate, supportive and empathetic – always considerate of the fact that you are nervous, somewhat shy and a bit emotional. The new hospital (opened a few years ago) on MacLeod trail is beautiful and welcoming. My first visit to Dr. Whidden was over 10 years ago. He came highly recommended by close friends and (so many) acquaintances for breast augmentation (implants) so I booked my consult with him. I had a very athletic physique at that time and just wanted to look a bit more feminine (but still natural). He spent a lot of time explaining the procedure and letting me know what to expect. I had the breast augmentation (sub-pectoral/under the muscle) a couple of months later and due to the fact that I had so much muscle tissue (due to years of weight training), my results were not symmetrical (thick muscle was pushing one of the implants further down than expected). Obviously I was upset about this but Dr. Whidden kindly assured me that he could correct this – and although it wasn’t his fault, he did the corrective surgery soon after at no additional cost to me. Some people may think this is a negative thing but I know others who have not taken my advice (recently) and have gone outside of the city to have breast augmentation surgery with another well-known surgeon and were not happy with the results and there was no subsequent help provided. My results, on the other hand, were perfect after the corrective surgery. Fast forward 10 years (after having my kids) and I’ve seen Dr. Whidden and his team a few more times, for breast reduction/lift (smaller implant replacement) and for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and to remove a cyst that formed on my lip (after having my tooth go through the inside). While he may be a bit more expensive than some other surgeons, there was NO hesitation on my part given my past experience with him – Dr. Whidden is definitely a perfectionist… exactly what everyone wants when it comes to surgeries performed on their bodies, right?! There was no one else I could trust to do such an impeccable job on these areas – my results have been life-changing. Again, I have a friend who did not take my advice to see Dr. Whidden and she went elsewhere for her tummy tuck and she now has issues with her ‘new’ belly button – my ‘new’ belly button looks very natural – this is not an easy task. What I probably like most about Dr. Whidden are his ethical standards. I know he has age & weight restrictions on certain surgeries (thankfully) and I’ve talked to him about other cosmetic surgeries that I was interested in and he just won’t do them as he knows the results are not consistent or as good as expected (due to gravity, and our natural activity – not due to a surgeon’s skill). I appreciate that he’s honest about surgery limitations and the outcomes and it’s saved me a lot of money - knowing his opinion has prevented me from looking elsewhere for another surgeon to perform the procedure. I like that he’s not just trying to book surgeries and make money (without the benefit to the client)… I respect that he actually cares about people and providing quality procedures – it’s how he has built his clientele to what it is today. I highly recommend Dr. Whidden for any cosmetic procedure – you will get the results you want.

As owner of A laptop Shoppe, I am impressed with this office the staff is friendly and professional dr. Karim is well known in the industry as one of the few doctors at his level and it sought after.

Wonderful and thoughtful doctor. Service and care was first rate. I would highly recommend anyone to Dr. Young' clinic.

It took me over three years and 4 different dentists who insisted on unnecessary work to find this dentist office. Since then I have needed minimal care on my teeth and have always received amazing seevice. I would recommend this office in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a proper professional treatment.

I have had trouble breathing through my nose for most of my life and for the first time in 20 years in the apt with Dr. Mechor I felt heard and validated and that my symptoms and real and important. He explained to me what is going on, and gave me a few treatment options to start with, including a planned follow up to make sure things are progressing. I am hopeful that I will feel better for the first time; Dr. Mechor was incredible, and I would highly recommend him.

My experience with Dr. Dawes and his team was 10 out of 10! I have considered a mastoplasty for years and finally decided to go for a consult. Dr. Dawes made me feel very comfortable and was very considerate of my needs and expectations. Not once did I feel pressure or unsure of my decision. After my procedure Dr. Dawes and his team were always available and very supportive. I’m very happy with my end result... actually it’s better than I expected. I wish I would have done it years ago! I would recommend a mastoplasty and Dr. Dawes to my friends and family in a heart beat!

My son was to have hand surgery while I was out of town working. They failed to make sure he knew what time the surgery was and did not call me to let me know either and no return phone call when we called to inquire. Turned out he missed his surgery because he didn't find out until after and by then couldn't get a ride to the hospital that day. I called the office everyday to reschedule for over a week and left a cpl of upset messages they kept telling me they would call me and let me know but never did. Finally a week and half later still no answer about rescheduling so I asked if should just take him back into the hospital to get a different surgeon they said yes. We went and sat in emergency for 5 hours just to get a new surgeon. So I gave her a one star rating on here and wouldn't you know it she finally returned my call after that. Not impressed at all.

I absolutely love DR. E Hall Findlay I would highly recommend her to anyone I know. I was referred by my sister and had the best experience I could image not to mention the surgery healed perfectly and looks amazing.

Removed a cyst from my face and the scar is minimal 👌

I have been a patient of Dr. James Wolfli for five years as I have progressively and successfully achieved amazing results from the refined precision and professional proficiency of this talented surgeon. As a surgeon, he is unwavering in his kindness, gentleness, and consistent solicitude in every step of a patient's personal experience and progression of recovery. A surgeon that every person (who requires surgery) would choose to have at their side --- discerning, insightful, and sensitive. As a survivor of cancer, Dr Wolfli's aptitude and skill overreached the tragedy of a bilateral mastectomy (double mastectomy) and, like an artist of refined talent, superseded the tragedy of my personal circumstance with proficiency and dexterity only defined by his exceptional reconstructive breast expertise. He has forever impacted my life experience --- that in itself, speaks the truth. His staff are as talented and kind as he is. His extensive, meaningful reviews say it all.......

Love this place. Always walk out of here with immaculate nails that stay in place for a month. I've had gems put on both fingers and toes and I've never lost one!

Dr. Louie is amazing! All the way from the receptionist to the doctor to the nurses in the surgical unit he works out of. 1 week post op and cant wait to see what my breast eill look like in 2 months once scars are healed. Recommend everything i needed to get and got the implants i wanted too. Already had implants done 6 months ago and not as happy as i am now! So very very thankful. They look amazing!

I was referred to riegel by Dr A Sharfenburger. She is my ankle replacement Dr. She is wonderfull. I was under riegels care for almost 4 months. During the third month he did a skin graft to make the existing wound heal. In the third week, on my weekly visit to the Kaye clinic I asked him why the graft was so white. He said it is because of the discharge and it's fine. On his instruction, I was to see the wound Care clinic in stony plain every second day. So two days after I saw him the nurse at the clinic said the skin graft is dead, that's why it's white. She removed the dead skin and said she'd contact riegel. In the mean time I was told I had staph infection. Dr Riegel said " come back in a week" since the day I started to see him. He saw my wound getting worse each week. I would say in my opinion that his heart isn't in his work. I am never going back to him again, which is what I explained to Dr Sharfenburger. I have been referred to another plastic surgeon by my Dr. Riegel is all smiles and seems confident but if you pay attention to the staff around him they look nervous. He was so rough with the anisthetic needle as he prepared for my skin graft I was asked twice by the nurse if I was ok which I said I was because I was too scared to say anything else. Dr Riegel, when you read this know that you should not be doing what your doing today. Do something that your good at. This is my experience with this fake surgeon.
