"Dr. Jack L. Walzel MD: a Stellar Surgeon in the Austin, Texas Metroplex arena! I interacted with…read moreDr. Walzel a number of times pre-surgery. Dr. Walzel provided meticulous attention to the logistics of my surgery and his care and attention post-surgery was just as magnificently meticulous! Dr. Walzel is very approachable and engaging with a very confident low-key, empathetic demeanor and attention-getting communications style! An unexpected bonus was his informative sketches, anecdotal remarks, and humorous one-liner's! Dr. Walzel seems to possess extrasensory perception as he addresses apprehensions and concerns before one can express them! His clear explanations of what to expect, before, during and after the surgery were liberally interspersed with comforting confidence-inducing remarks which allowed me to look forward to my surgical and post-treatment itinerary with minuscule anxiety and fear! Prior to this surgery, I have had half a dozen general anesthesia surgical procedures, however, this surgery experience was immeasurably concerning and remarkable from those surgeries, however, Dr. Walzel's exceptional expertise was readily apparent from the small incisions, beautifully sutured, minimal post-surgery discomfort and easiest recovery from what I experienced with those previous surgeries!"

Due to my medical/health issues I have seen Dr. Bhakta for about six months and will see him for another six months, therefore have had numerous appointments with him. He is professional, incredibly wise and knowledgeable, is quite patient, listens and asks questions, as well. Dr. Bhakta takes the time to explain things and always asks "what other questions do you have for me"? He is tremendously kind especially when I have been overwhelmed, emotional, and even cried during an office or hospital appointment; he has been extremely caring which helped me feel so much better in an enormous way. He has been asked by the mesh company that he uses/prefers to "teach" this surgery to others! THAT speaks volumes of the fabulous surgery that he performs. In my opinion he is a genius surgeon and shows outstanding compassion too! I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Dr. Bhakta is simply brilliant! Dr. Bhakta's Physician Assistant, Isabel is WONDERFUL! She has a professional demeanor and communicates at times complex bits of information with simple clarity. Her compassion is extraordinary and she shows impressive kindness, patience, and care. Isabel is dedicated to her work, appears to love it, and maintains a positive attitude. She is a remarkable and respectful person and it has been a pleasure to have her work with Dr. Bhakta.

The hernia doctor, who was finishing her preparations, was confused, but Dr. Pike provided no explanation. Shocked and upset, I immediately broke down crying. I booked a follow up appointment a week later, during which Dr. Pike told me she had chosen to cancel my surgery at the last minute because my life was not in order and my (documentably treated and stable) depression was not sufficiently stabilized. This not being her field of expertise, I suggested she contact my psychiatrist, but she declined. Dr. Pike's bedside manner was atrocious. She was rude, abrupt, disparaging, and in my opinion, wholly unprofessional. As many other reviewers have pointed out, her behavior toward patients is alarming, to say the least. Their experiences of being discriminated against remind me of my own. Fortunately I found an excellent surgeon in Temple to perform the surgery, Dr. Samuel Lance, whom I highly recommend. I would suggest never using Dr. Pike due to her discriminatory lack of professionalism and compassion for her patients.

It is now Sept 2024 and I can confidently say: Best decision I ever made. Dr. Pike was thorough and efficient, and I'm pleased with my results. I really only saw her for the initial consult and on the day of surgery. The rest of my post op appts I was seen by the nurse practitioner, who is so sweet. All of the women working in her office at Baylor Scott and White were amazing! Very competent, very cordial, remembered me, etc. Overall it was a really positive experience and my recovery was much easier than I had anticipated! I'm happy with the way my breasts look and feel and I highly recommend Dr. Pike.

No one explained that I would be billed even more later or that I had the option to visit another clinic for assistance. It felt like they cared more about collecting money than helping a concerned parent and her baby. I don't recommend this place -- they seem more focused on profit than compassion or care.

Surgeon? maybe but sure as heck NOT me! I called him back to discuss the complications I was having after the brutal exam and he put up a wall of excuses. Basically said my problem was chronic and what I was experiencing was to be expected. Bleeding and bruised like I have NEVER been before. The following week i got a letter from him stating he didn't want to treat me anymore- No problem Jahadi, I sure as heck wasn't coming back for anymore of your brand of treatment much LESS surgery. Proceed at your own risk with this guy....

I've been a patient of Doctor Jahadi for over 16 years; I've undergone major surgery and several…read morefollow-up procedures and additional surgeries under his care. A major compliment to his practice is that he is always looking at the long-game when it comes to quality of life for his patients. He is also one of the few doctors in his field who will actually talk with you and answer questions about current and future issues until you are well informed and satisfied. While not the most talkative or easy going specialist you will ever encounter, he puts in the time and has truly built his practice around the patient and their unique needs. He also will always recommend that his patients get a second opinion in order to obtain a balanced perspective on recommended procedures and follow-up care and activities. I've lived with a chronic disease for over half of my life and have seen several physicians in this discipline. By far, Doctor Jahadi has spent the most time with me and has been the most genuinely concerned with my long-term health. Having medical issues is not a fun thing in life, but if you are someone in need of care in this field, you can't do better than this professional. What you sacrifice in office glamour and 15-minute 'appointments' is trivial compared to having a balanced view and plan of action for the remainder of your life with someone who actually cares.

Holly started out being very helpful in finding another date. For at most 30 seconds reviewing my calendar, she said "hello" ONE TIME then disconnected the call. I called back and let her know that she did not have to hang up on me, and that was very rude of her to do so. I digressed , then circled back around to get the appointment rescheduled - she wanted to argue with me , go back and forth instead of just scheduling the appt and moving from there. I asked to speak with someone else, HOLLY GOT BACK ON THE PHONE and recommended I see another dentist b/c THEY'VE struggled with communication with me. IF YOU GUYS WEREN'T SO RUDE... YOU WOULDN'T GET THE SAME IN RETURN. I hope your customer service gets better because it is not up to par! Really a 0 star review but I had to at least select one. This is the FIRST time that I've even come to this place and the customer service the two women in the front office HAVE TERRIBLE SERVICE !!! When I initially called , one of the ladies , she sits in the back corner , she was rude, impatient, and a bit snarky as well when it came to me getting my insurance that I didn't not have on hand. From there , I hadn't heard anything from them at all , and when it came time for my appointment I drove across town all for them to tell me that my appointment was "deleted" because I didn't give them my insurance immediately. My normal experience -- is I can provide my insurance when I walk in and I had it. Ultimately it led to them saying they could not see me at all, of which was a WASTE OF TIME and INCONVENIENCE. When I let them know about their attitude , tone and demeanor the woman in the back corner actually with an abrasive attitude confirmed "you were talking to Me" This was a TERRIBLE first experience. And I'm afraid this dentist will lose my business because of. I'll find elsewhere to go where the people are friendly and willing to be patient and serve. If you cannot be patient and serve then you do not deserve to sit in the seat you all sit in. Be more professional or you lose business. Simple as that !!!!

Being a nurse for almost 30 years- I have a very serious problem with people who don't introduce themselves and explain their role in the healthcare setting. If you are going to touch me, get my weight, blood pressure and ask me personal questions then you need to tell me your name and that you are the assistant. Period. Once again- I had to kindly ask the name of the person who invited me back to do the aforementioned things- which is the reason for 4 stars and not 5. The office facilities were very comfortable and inviting. Dr. Gotvald was very professional and explained things very well. We went ahead and did treatment for spider veins on my cheeks and Nose from sun damage and they are healing but still a bit of a ruddy appearance. He was very rebooting and gentle. Also of note- the staff was up front with me a few days ahead of time about this cosmetic procedure so I knew exactly how much I would be paying which was helpful. I will be going back in a couple of weeks for ultrasound oz my legs to see the extent of this gracious gift of varicose veins in my legs bequeathed to me by my mother, and to form a treatment plan. I will update the review at that time.

After about a five minute wait, they came to get me and take me back and everything looked very neat and clean in the rooms. I will say that my injection was about 45 minutes late but I think that's more on the doctor than the surgical center. The nurses and the rest of the staff were all very friendly and joked around with me, which makes the experience that much better.
