I searched out many doctors here and in CA to correct my heavy & oversized breast. After visiting with four other surgeons here in AZ, I was referred to Dr Flint by a friend who knew I wanted the best outcome.
Yes, she did charge for the consultation but so did three of the other four. Her time is just as valuable as anyone's and she spent WELL over an hour with me and I didn't feel rushed or dumb for my list of questions.
I asked each of the other surgeons all the same lengthy questions and she was the only one that didn't seem annoyed by them and even welcomes me to email her directly should more arise after our consultation-which I did!
Even after requesting to meet with her again as I had questions that I needed visual reassurance she happily met with me (no charge) and that sealed the deal that she was the surgeon for me!
I choose Dr Flint because she is clear, helpful and although direct she was honest about what she felt I needed and what she felt could be done. Who doesn't want honest, direct & helpfulness especially in a surgeon?!
Well before surgery Dr Flint clearly explained what she was going to do, the process of healing and recovery as well as visual idea of what my results would be like and when the day came she caringly reiterated the same. (Note: The surgery center was absolutely amazing!)
The tears welled up in my eyes when I first saw myself after the surgery because my breast were beautiful! Her work was truly amazing and completely congruent with what she had explained. I feel like she is an artist because they not only fit my frame they are beautifully natural. I followed all of Dr Flint's recovery instructions and healing went amazingly smoothly.
Fast forward 10 months and due to my own skin's healing process she revised my scars for almost nothing and even suggested an amazing treatment to prevent a reoccurrence of the scarring.
She was right on again with this new treatment and again I'm overjoyed with the scar revision.
I suggest any patient do their research with any doctor and for any procedure as you must be an active participant in the doctor/patient relationship as well as have "realistic expectations".
With that being said all doctors can have patients that are not always happy with their results for a multitude of reasons but and in all fairness I think those patients owe it to themselves to give their doctor a chance to work out the issues with both parties being clear & honest about the issues before bashing the doctor in these forums especially since the negative often outshines the good.
I have AND would continue to recommend her to anyone looking for a honest, knowledgeable and highly skilled surgeon as I am completely convinced that she is the doctor for me.
Her staff was always helpful, very professional and pleasant with each visit both prior and afterwards.
