Dr. Flint did not make proper preoperative markings and basically winged my surgery. Patti Flint, M.D. did an anchor lift on me despite my asking three times if she did a lollipop/vertical lift which would have left a much smaller scar. Instead of telling me the truth that she did not perform this procedure at the time and she told me that I had too much skin. . My areola/nipple ended up 1.5 inches too high which was very noticeable even in clothing and bras (which my new "breast" would fall out of). Dr. Flint didn't even try to measure my nipple at my postop appointment months later when I brought up that my nipple was popping out of my bras and tops.Talk about dishonesty, she altered my 2007 records to try to cover up her mistakes made in the 2011 surgery. Since then I have had 2 painful reconstructive surgeries with William Leighton M.D. ; including a breast expander under my muscle and another revision/reconstruction. This doctor actually repeated Patti Flint's mistake and my breast is now disfigured even further. I am a single mom and I recently quit my job due to stress related to Dr. Flint's mistakes. I pleaded with her to pay for the reconstructive surgeries to no avail, which totaled over $12,000. Additionally Patti Flint has had several malpractice lawsuits filed against her. You can see for yourself on the Maricopa County Civil Case Search page. I agree with the other poster about her cold and distant bedside manner or lack of it. Of course Dr. Flint is going to tell you she would never alter records, message me I'll give you proof she did it. It takes a lot for an attorney to proceed with a malpractice case and she has 2 filed against her. Just imagine the countless cases who didn't make it to court because it's not profitable enough for attorneys.
Do yourself a favor and choose a more caring, qualified, and experienced surgeon. I saw Dr. Flint in both her Scottsdale, and Mesa offices
