I initially went to Sonterra Dermatology because I was suffering from severe, persistent hives and an extremely itchy rash that had become unbearable. At my first visit, the physician assistant performed a skin biopsy and diagnosed me with contact dermatitis. When my symptoms continued, I returned and saw Dr. Matthew Malan. The appointment was very brief, and he recommended patch testing. I scheduled the test, but when I arrived for my appointment, I sat in the office for 30-40 minutes before being told they had accidentally used the patch test that had been set aside for me on another patient. They apologized and told me they would have to order another one, delaying my testing by another week. When you're dealing with relentless itching, hives, and sleepless nights, that kind of delay feels overwhelming. The following week, I returned for the patch test. Before applying the patches, the nurse commented that my back was already very inflamed. Despite that, the test was still administered. When I returned for my final reading, Dr. Malan immediately said the results were difficult to interpret because my back was so irritated. Then, almost as an afterthought, he said he thought I was allergic to nickel. He told me that a nickel allergy was "the worst thing in the world" because nickel is everywhere and compared living with it to "walking through a jungle of poison ivy" for the rest of my life. When I asked if there was any treatment or medication that could help, I was told there really wasn't anything I could do other than buy a nickel test online and check everything around me. I left that appointment feeling discouraged and hopeless. Thankfully, I sought a second opinion. My concierge physician performed a thorough medical evaluation, including blood work to rule out underlying conditions. Everything came back normal, and she diagnosed me with urticaria and referred me to an allergist. The allergist ultimately diagnosed me with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU), confirming that my hives were not caused by a nickel allergy. What disappointed me most wasn't simply that the initial diagnosis turned out to be incorrect--medicine isn't perfect, and diagnoses can evolve. It was the overall experience: the scheduling mistake, performing a patch test despite my back already being significantly inflamed, the lack of discussion about the limitations of the test under those conditions, and leaving the appointment feeling frightened rather than supported. I hope this feedback encourages greater attention to patient care, communication, and ensuring diagnostic testing is performed under appropriate conditions. Patients who are suffering deserve to feel heard, informed, and given confidence that every effort is being made to reach the correct diagnosis.

Dr. Gary Lawton is truly like no other plastic surgeon!…read more His honesty, integrity, and grit are unlike anything I've encountered in a physician. I first met Dr. Lawton in 2007, when he and his team performed a breast implant replacement for me. Nearly 20 years later, I returned to him for another round of surgery after a different plastic surgeon's work from five years ago left me needing corrective surgery. This past year, Dr. Lawton replaced my implants once again and performed a full tummy tuck after multiple pregnancies and a 50-pound weight loss. I couldn't be happier with my decision to put my trust in him again! One of the most remarkable things is that he still has the same staff I met back in 2007--including his precious receptionist! That speaks volumes about the kind of doctor and person he is. His team doesn't just work for him; you can tell they genuinely love and respect him, too. From the premier quality of his work to his incredible attention to detail, Dr. Lawton goes above and beyond. He made me feel like a longtime friend rather than just another patient. Thank you, Dr. Gary Lawton, for your exceptional care, your dedication to your craft, and for making me feel like family. I'm so grateful I came back to you, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon who truly cares about his patients!

Plastic Surgery Saved My Life!…read more I did a crazy amount of research and read so many reviews before choosing Dr. Gary Lawton (aka The Perfectionist), and man, let me tell you how right I was. I literally drive from Austin to San Antonio to see him and have zero regrets, because he actually saved my life! I went in for your typical "mommy makeover"--a tummy tuck, breast lift, and reduction. My friends continually questioned why I wanted the reduction since I wasn't even that large to begin with. Even Dr. Lawton said I'd look great with just a lift. But I insisted on wanting to be smaller (a B cup is all I need!), and he immediately said okay. He didn't look at my partner for their opinion; he focused completely on what I wanted. Best decision of my life! On operation day, he checked in one last time while marking me up. I told him, "I want them cute, perky, and to never need a bra again." That is EXACTLY what I got, plus something extra. The pathology report from the removed tissue came back showing pre-cancerous cells. If we hadn't done the reduction, we never would have found it, and I would have most certainly developed breast cancer. If Dr. Lawton hadn't truly listened to my desires, I would have never known. When he had to break the scary news to me, his bedside manner was amazing--calm, caring, and honestly he was low-key excited to know he just saved a woman's life.He even took the time to personally call the oncologist and get me an immediate appointment to start treatment. The entire process has been incredible. His nursing staff answers all my random recovery questions via phone and email in plain terms and keeps me totally reassured. My in-person post-ops have been just as amazing. Also, shoutout to the anesthesiologist--literally one of the sweetest, kindest humans ever. I felt so safe. Going into major surgery comes with fears and doubts, but every single step of the way, I felt comforted and safe. I am so glad I chose Dr. Lawton for this life-changing event. Because he actually listened to me instead of just doing a lift, I get to live cancer-free. There aren't enough words to thank him. If you are looking to get "made over," choose Dr. Gary Lawton. He is worth it, and I trust him and his staff with my life. I will forever be grateful for his desire to listen to patients and be there every step of the way.

I couldn't take that chance and made an appointment with Dr. Woodward Coleman ASAP. The doctor patiently answered all of my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully and gave me a lot of reassurance and most of all hope of getting my life back together as soon as possible. I feel so blessed that he came into my life. He was very personable, cheery, very positive and up beat attitude was all I needed to reassure I was going to recover in no time. In fact, he was overwhelmed with my prompt recovery that I practically cheated him out of surgery! In other words, I recovered miraculously! I felt in good hands (literally) from the start and the fact that he is of the best hand and plastic surgeon in the country made me feel at ease! I took all the advice he could give me and I just kept moving. I didn't lose a beat, Thank you God for Dr. Coleman! I highly recommend him, hands and fingers down, lol, he is a most talented, professional and very knowledgeable physician! If all of his diplomas and easy going personality don't say it all I don't know what does!

I…read moregracefully broke my fifth metacarpal and was starting to become terrified because it had been a couple days since the injury and I had not seen a specialist. Dr. Coleman's office was the first I had called, it was the one referred to me by two ER doctors, and they also managed to get me seen only an hour and a half after I called! Once getting there I filled out paperwork and was called back in less than 20 minutes. Dr. Coleman examined my X-rays from the ER and saw me shortly after the nurse David cut my splint off. He thoroughly explained what my options were as well as drew pictures to make it easy! Because I was scared out of my mind and sweating at that point (I had never broken anything before), Dr. Coleman took that extra step and even called my father who also works in the medical field to explain the situation! Without further ado, he decided to go for a reduction and then a cast to see where that takes us. My hand was numbed perfectly and in the mean time I was brought water and cookies because the numbing still needed to fully kick in and I was getting more nervous by the minute! In the mean time, the nurse David and two scribes (who's names I unfortunately don't recall) joked and laughed with me, allowing me ease up a bit. Dr. Coleman was able to then pull on my hand, all the while one of the super amazing scribes was holding my elbow down to keep it from moving up as well. You will not believe it, but with my good left hand I was eating my cookies, incredibly satisfied and not feeling a thing!! I felt like a champ but in reality it's all because of these amazing, caring folks who truly love what they do. My hand was then wrapped in a cast by David, which honestly is the neatest and most comfortable cast I could ever imagine! I swear it's perfect and I've had no issues for a week now. After the procedure, X-rays were taken again. Dr. Coleman did see something he was not certain about so they opted for me to get a CT scan just in case. David called around, pulled some strings, all the while busy with other patients as well and got me a cheaper option across town the same day!! I went, and a couple days later got a call from Dr. Coleman himself about the results. I go in tomorrow morning for a follow up and x-rays once more to check my progress, but honestly I can't wait to go again! If there's anyone I recommend, it will be these guys. Hands down! No pun intended!

He was our second doctor to visit as the first doctor that saw her in the ER at Saint Luke's would not operate on my wife until the advil she had taken was out of her system. This turned out to be a blessing as that gave us time to research and find a doctor that specialized in brain tumors. After much research, we came across Dr. Bogaev and made an appointment to see him. The office folks were so nice to us and were able to work her in in a couple of weeks. In order to save time, they asked us to bring in MRI. Cat Scans, and notes from the other doctor for Dr. Bogaev to review. In our visit with Dr. Bogaev, he pulled up all the scans/x-rays and explained what was going on with her brain. He discussed all the options and made his recommendations to us. We liked how he was with us personally, his knowledge, his skills, and his sense of humor. We decided then that we wanted him to do the surgery. The day of the surgery, he came in and visited with us and let us ask all the questions we needed to. He brought in the other doctors and nurses that would be with him, and we got a real good feeling about all of them. He said the surgery would take a minimum of 2-3 hours, and that after it was over, he would meet with me to discuss everything. After the surgery, he came and found me in the waiting area. He was very happy with how everything went and made me feel a whole lot better. About the hospital: Stone Oak Methodist, as ranked by Healthgrades, is one of America's 100 Best Hospitals in critical care for multiple years. For us, everything about them was top notch! Our follow-up appointment is next week. At that point he will advise us of our next steps. I can say, up until today, we are very happy. The wife has no problems with speech, movement, expressing her thoughts, etc. Would I use him again? I hope I never have to use them, but I would without any hesitation if I needed that type of surgery.
