I Love Meadows Surgical Arts conveince of available appts. And lovely staff. It's always…read moreinformative and the results are amazing. Catherine, to me is always such a pleasure to work with. Thank you for all your help!

I met Dr. Meadows in 2018. After meeting multiple other surgeons from Atlanta, I happened upon Dr…read more Meadows. I have autoimmune issues, so I asked for a breast explant. My surgery went better than expected, he put me in his oxygen chamber the following day, and he sent a few things to pathology for me. I was initially disappointed because I paid to have additional surgery, but Dr. Meadows didn't feel comfortable proceeding until he received my pathology back. I told Dr. Meadows that I couldn't afford to pay for the additional surgery, but he assured me that he would complete my surgery at no additional charge, "whenever I was ready." I asked if my free surgery ever expired, and he told me "never, whenever I'm ready, I won't pay for anything because I already paid." Due to my autoimmune issues, I was frequently at the commerce office. My body had so many issues with recovery (not Dr. Meadows fault), so Dr. Meadows eventually gave me his personal cell number for emergencies. I have met Dr. Meadows wife, and Dr. Meadows knew my husband well - so the phone number was completely professional and intended to keep me safe. After a vehicle accident (not my fault), Dr. Meadows had me come directly to his office. He called my husband and sent his patients home, opened his OR, and then called his anesthesiologist in for emergency surgery. Dr. Meadows saved my life that day. There are other occasions when I needed immediate medical attention (autoimmune issues), and Dr. Meadows either handled the situation himself, called in a prescription, made a referral, whatever I needed. Every time I went to Dr. Meadows office, he asked me, "when are we finishing up your surgery?" His office messaged me to confirm that Dr. Meadows would be completing my surgery for free. His office also asked me if I would write a blog post about my explant experience. I have plenty of texts and messages from Dr. Meadows staff and himself, personally, to remind me that he still needed to complete my surgery. Fast forward a bit, and...Dr. Meadows went to be with Jesus. I have my "before" pictures...but no "after" photos. I have handfuls of friends who went to Dr. Meadows based on my referrals. I had every intention of finalizing my surgery after I let my body "rest" for a bit...because the surgery was "never going to expire"...but, it did. My body will forever remain *unfinished* because I seriously doubt that the new surgeon, "Big Daddy K" or whatever is going to honor Dr. Meadows promises to me. I haven't even asked because I know that the answer will already be "no" regardless of how much evidence I provide in writing. I can live with never having a beautiful "after" photo, but my heart will always be broken that I lost my friend. Dr. Meadows started as my surgeon, but he quickly became a friend to me, my husband, my mother, and he knew everything about my children. He constantly swapped husband stories about Kathryn with my husband, and he always bragged about his wife and children. I have a LOT of doctors due to my autoimmune issues, but Dr. Meadows was my only doctor who became a friend. I still have prescriptions in my drawer with his name on the bottle, I have other doctors who sing his praises, and I'll forever wear his scars with pride. This man saved my life, repeatedly - then he lost a beloved nurse, and after Dr. Meadows passed...he lost a lot of really great staff because jerks only want to talk trash behind a computer or behind a phone without taking everything lost into context. I could be pissed that I'll never have my surgery completed, but instead I CHOOSE to *honor* the man who saved my life, prayed with my family, ADORED his own family, and gave me his undivided attention EVERY TIME I EVER needed it. Life doesn't always turn out the way we want it to, so some of y'all need to stop and show some respect to a man who sacrificed MUCH to give back to his community, and stop talking badly about a medical practice that is doing their very best to keep the doors open for the memory of their husband/father. Kath could shut the doors entirely and walk away but she chooses to walk into the buildings that her husband built and do her BEST to fill shoes she should never have to walk in!!! Gosh, these reviews really irk me. There are more important things in life than your crooked breasts or the fake reviews that you read from a competitor. Stop acting like children and put some RESPECT on the name of Dr. Lionel Meadows AND his FAMILY. Dr. Meadows, I promised I'd always be a "Meadows Girl" and I will hold my promise until I see you again one day. Thank you for saving me and for making yourself available for myself and my family. Sleep sweet, sir. -Amber
