I am now 10 days post-op a breast reduction/lift and felt it was important to leave a review…read moredetailing my experience. I decided to disclose my specific procedure because I could find no reviews by other patients who had the same surgery; which would have been helpful to me when doing my own research. Dr. Stevens was recommended by a friend who had multiple procedures under his care and was consistently happy with her results. Just a little background on me - I am a mother of two, who spent a solid two years of my life breastfeeding. Fortunately, I also have medical background that was helpful during this process. Surgery is a big decision and I consider myself to be a person with exceptionally high standards, which is why I researched everything in depth beforehand. After educating myself as best I could about the procedure and reading reviews online, I took the plunge and made an appointment with Kendel, the physician liaison. Kendel was friendly and knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and provided realistic expectations. I met with Dr. Stevens thereafter and was pleasantly surprised by his honesty and down-to-earth nature. He was very professional which I feel is important when dealing with a topic so sensitive and personal. After I met with him, I felt confident about the surgery and had a good idea of what to expect. The day of my surgery I was nervous, but after meeting with Dr. Stevens and the anesthetist felt more at ease. Dr. Stevens had a calm, "business as usual" demeanor that made me even more comfortable. Before I knew it, I was waking up in recovery and ready to go home! The pain was minimal, (nothing compared to a c-section for those of you who have had one). I was given a number to call if I needed anything at any time of day or night. Dr. Stevens called me himself the night of my surgery to make sure I was okay, which I thought was pretty awesome and accurately depicts the sort of person he really is - the caring, compassionate sort. On the third day after my surgery my bandages were removed to reveal perfect, perky breasts. I nearly cried because I felt like I was seeing what I should have been born with. My result was exactly what I had asked for and even exceeded my own expectations. I already knew to expect scarring, (there is no way around that with this type of procedure) but his suturing is wonderful and I expect the scars to fade significantly with time. I am physically more comfortable and overall a happier person! My confidence has been restored! THANK YOU Dr. Stevens from the bottom of my heart. You have changed my life for the better and I would not hesitate to return to you should I ever decide to have another procedure. I would recommend you to anyone considering a surgery.

I called the office today, September 8, 2026, to inquire about an appointment and obtain…read moreinformation regarding a procedure. When the receptionist asked what procedure I was interested in, I explained the situation and mentioned that my previous surgeon had retired. The receptionist immediately interrupted me and stated that my surgeon was not retired. I attempted several times to clarify who I was referring to and provide additional information, but I was repeatedly interrupted and was not given an opportunity to finish explaining my situation. The only response I was ultimately able to hear was, "We are not taking any new patients." I understand that a medical office may not be accepting new patients; however, I believe the way this information is communicated is equally important. I found the interaction unnecessarily rude and dismissive, particularly when I was simply trying to ask a question and provide clarification. I ultimately said, "Well, thanks for not letting me speak," because I felt I was not being given an opportunity to communicate. As a potential new patient, this interaction was concerning. It left me wondering how patients are treated when they have questions, concerns, or complications that require additional communication and support. First impressions matter, especially in healthcare, and I hope the office considers providing staff with training on professional and respectful communication with prospective and current patients.

He goes above and beyond. I have also had Dr Holvik call me in for an emergency on my blood work, which Noah had already taken care of, but it was wonderful to know that Dr Holvik is keeping track of things in the back ground.

His staff set everything up (All I had to literally do was sho up for surgery)and they all were so kind to me whenever dealing with me. Pre-Op, Dr. Cook met with me and my wife at the hospital and assured us I was in good competent hands and he would take care of me. Surgery went smooth. Honestly, it could not have gone better. Minimal and only normal pain from healing. Doctor had already scheduled me to follow up with him at his office; his staff had paperwork already for me for returning to work when I was comfortable to return. Follow-up, Dr. Cook again treated me with a smile, put me at ease and very informally talked to me about final diagnosis and let me know he cared and if anything else was needed by him he was there. Absolutely a great person as well as a general surgeon or I wouldn't be making this long review of his great abilities and terrific practice! We are so lucky and I am forever grateful to have him in the CentroValley as a General Surgeon! I would recommend him to my family and anyone else who would need a great Surgeon. Thank you all so much for your treatment during my care. Can't say enough about this practice!

They had me waiting for almost an hour before I was spoken to or seen when I'd showed up 5 mins early for my scheduled appt. They genuinely make me feel like they do not care about me as a person or patient.

From the beginning, I expected a professional, diligent approach -- especially since my original implant surgery with another surgeon left my breasts with a clean, symmetrical finish and a well-done outline around the nipple area. In contrast, this experience felt careless. After the explant, I noticed that the nipples were not closed out with any attention to detail. The stitching was uneven and poorly done, and it seems like the surgeon completely ignored the original clean outline left by my previous doctor -- something that should have been very simple to follow. Now I'm left with deformed nipples and scars that look rushed and unprofessional. What's worse is the energy at my final post-op appointment. When he unwrapped the bandages, he looked at me and said, "This is what you wanted," in a very condescending and dismissive tone. That interaction made me feel like my choice to remove my implants was not respected -- like I was being punished for it. This has been physically and emotionally upsetting. I trusted this doctor to handle my body with care and respect, and I did not receive that. I strongly urge others to research thoroughly and ensure they're choosing a surgeon who not only has skill, but also compassion. I hope you DO NOT go to Dr. Lechtman for implant removal surgery. I should have been a lot more careful and considered the mistake he made 9 months ago to another client of his - please read her review as well. Please go to Google for pictures of the stitching of my nipples done by Lechtman :(

I watched staff for 4 hours on day one and they would come in and check her vitals and leave but never emptied out her full catheter bag nor offer her water. I finally ended up emptying out the bag at hour 2 and asked the next nurse how often are they supposed to empty it out and she told me "oh just push the call button and we will come". So I guess it's not part of their patient care to check catheter bags unless patient requests for it to be emptied out. Day 2 still in 3South, I came in and her IV machine was beeping and it can be heard in the hallway. It took a nurse an 45 minutes to come and check the IV machine which was not pushing her fluids. Day 3 still in 3South, my mom calls me to tell me she hit her call button and had been waiting about 10 minutes to get help to use restroom but no one came and she ended up soiling herself. I HAD to call to get a CNA to go check on her and that still took another 10 minutes. When the CNA finally comes into the room, she asks my mom "Do you want something to clean yourself?". Ummm, hello she couldn't get up on her own to use the restroom so you think she can clean herself?? Really?? By far the worst care I've seen so far offered by this hospital. I do want to say I am giving it a 3 star as she had a wonderful RN and CNA at night who took really good care of her and my mother made sure to tell me how well they took care of her. Seems like the lack of care is on the day shifts.
